The sound of a thump hitting the floor rumbled and came from the high heels she was wearing, it sounded like she was racing competition to fill the silence of the lobby situation that she is going through, because most of the adam who were in that place were fantasizing wild in their own thoughts when they see a woman who her perfection for every man is beyond measure.
A familiar woman to the McCarter & co. Building, including the men were crossing the lobby to enter the building office to the elevator.

With a smile, the feeling of morning enthusiasm that Savannah always feels in each step into the elevator that will take her to the floor where the office was. But suddenly confronted by the languid and not excited face of the figure that had just entered simultaneously with the elevator door that immediately closed and brought the elevator headed for the thirty-fifth floor, with just two people in it inside. Savannah’s gaze that was originally staring at the figure the latter entered into in the elevator and was now standing right beside her, immediately making Savannah turned her head back and looked straight at the elevator door is right in front of it.
“You shouldn’t have ruined my feelings this morning who already feeling quite happy and excited, with a flat annoying face you.” The sneer that came out of Savannah’s mouth, made someone she was talking to just chimed in with a chuckle.
“It’s all because of a woman again and again, for the umpteenth time to break her promise date. Sounds annoying, right? And besides having to be made to wait for hours, the man also has to accept the fact that she apparently couldn’t make it.” The reply full of cynicism immediately made a sense of resentment Savannah overflows so quickly. And, this time also the woman able to spit out his anger right in front of the man with how dare he tease himself with such cynical words.
“Dylan, I’m busy! Do you know what time I left the building last night? Eleven. Where most people enjoy it already was on his bed, and had arrived in his own dreamland. Meanwhile, I can only breathe with relief after I’m so tired finish my work. And now you’re still protesting, at the moment last night I called you and explained the situation the real thing?” Savannah exclaimed, now putting her hands together that clenched, on the sides of each of his waist while giving sharp gaze to the man who is now still looking at her with a smile which always made her feel annoyed every time she saw him.
“Okay. I understand.”
“You don’t understand! If you did, you wouldn’t keep throwing protests and satire at me like before.”
“How is it that when you’re angry like this, you just get even more looking hot, Savee?”
A hug on the waist along with a low intonation of voice that rang in Savannah’s ears, much to the annoyance of earlier as soon as she mastered himself immediately evaporated somewhere. The woman’s shoulder previously tensed up with anger, in an instant instantly relaxed along with the calm feeling of the moment she heard a voice that seemed to calm her down.
“You’re seducing me?”
“I’m not seducing. It’s a fact and reality. You’re so hot, Savee.”

Fun, simple, and many other things that a woman likes about a man who loves her.
Yes, Dylan easily said that he loved Savannah ever since first sight. Since the woman started working at the company, Dylan had started to be crazy about Savannah. And up to two the years they knew each other, Dylan’s feelings never changed however in fact, he loves her even more. But, sadly it doesn’t Savannah think more. Savannah only saw Dylan as just a special friend. Not more than just friends, but the attitude of the two it’s already far from the word of just friend.

“I’ll replace it after this shift is over, okay?” say Savannah while placing both hands on the man’s firm shoulders her face which was quite taller than him, and slightly curled up his hand there.
“Hahh..., I bet you’ll deny it again.” Dylan replied with embarrassed.
“Hey, that sounds rough you know?”
“Don’t you like things that are rough?”
“That even sounds completely irrelevant.”
“Tonight, in my apartment?”
That invitation, like a signal where Dylan wanted to spend the night being with the woman he loved as he had often enough happened and passed it.
“Hmm..., I have to see my schedule first, okay?”
“You haven’t been to my apartment in a long time.”
“I’ll try, but I can’t promise. Because if I promise, I might let you down again.”
“Okay.”
“But I’m asking you not to get your hopes up, okay?”
“I’m used to that kind of thing. So, whatever the decision, tell me right away.”
“Okay.”
“Hey, by the way. Did I mention that this morning you were spotted so charming? Yellow, don’t you usually wear that color?” Comments Dylan while appraising the light yellow casual dress which was quite bright, that Savannah wore today to work.
“A. You haven’t told me that I look so good this morning. And, B. I’m in a very happy mood this morning. So, I decided to wearing this bright color.”
“What’s with your mood?”
“Just happy.”
“No reason?”
“Does everything that happens have to be based on a reason?”
“Not really.”
“Irritating!” Savannah’s sneer coincided with the elevator door opening where Dylan’s office floor is. “That’s your floor, see at lunch. You pay.”
“Okay. See you later.”

The Hockey Alpha's Fake Girlfriend
Then there’s Rafael. Dark. Untouchable. The boy everyone talks about but no one really knows. He should be the last person Vivienne gets close to, yet she can’t look away. He pulls her in with a kind of danger that feels both terrifying and safe, like he sees the parts of her no one else can.
But Rafael carries secrets—secrets that could destroy them both. And the closer Vivienne gets, the harder it is to tell if he’s her way out… or the reason she never escapes.
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
The Shattered Moon King
Lena is a survivor. For years, she has weathered the harsh, post-apocalyptic landscape by following one rule: trust no one. But when she finds an amnesiac man near death in the wilderness—a man with kind eyes and a strength that is anything but human—she makes a choice that will unravel her solitary existence.
She calls him Cain, but the shattered-moon tattoo on his back brands him as Kaelen, the long-dead Alpha of the powerful Sky-Fall pack. His return triggers a brutal civil war with the usurper who stole his throne and his fated mate. Hunted by Lycan assassins and a fanatical human commander desperate for the secrets locked in Lena's own past, their only hope lies in embracing the very power Kaelen can't remember and Lena has always feared.
As they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just the pack, but the future of every living thing, Kaelen must fight for a kingdom he doesn't know and Lena must confront a legacy she tried to bury. In a world of broken thrones and fated bonds, they will discover that the greatest choice is not between love and duty, but between who you are told you must be, and who you choose to become.

The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
