Introduction
"Lay on the table." He orders. I obey. I don't argue. I can't argue.
"Spread your legs open." His voice, a caress, yet firm. I shakily obey. My legs timidly spread before him. The cold air drifts to me.
"Now, Andria, touch yourself. Touch yourself until you moan."
I look at him shocked. I have never done that before...
"Do you want to rescind on your decision?" He asks, darkly...
I swallow. I don't want to. My body tenses, but I ease it. I shut my eyes. Allow his voice carry me, as one finger tentatively slides into my dark underwear.
Slow. Shaky. I apply soft strokes...circles. I touch my folds. I let out a moan..
Chapter 1
Warning!!! This book contains adult themes!! But all fiction!!!
Andria.
Bran, Brasov.
January 2nd. Present day…
I rush in from outside. My body shaking from the blistering cold.
Winter is harsh in the village this year and everyone just wants to sit in their homes, cloaked in heavy blankets and enjoying a warm fire. I would have loved that, if I could afford the coal and wood needed to have one in the room I rent upstairs.
My boss, Mr Krosov, the owner of this bar is a hard man to please. He makes me work, seven days a week, every night. From dusk till all the customers are gone. Then I can go upstairs and rest for the day. The only time I enjoy a fire is when am here in the warm bar.
I attend an online course for hospitality and tourism. My name is Andria Peterson a 21 year old woman, who has her eyes set on a good life, outside of my usually meager life.
I know am beautiful; with my almond shaped eyes and my wide hips. But above all am a determined woman. And I'm determined to leave Bran and go work in the city someday. But I need to save enough money before I can embark on such a journey.
I go behind the counter, entering the kitchen, bringing in the food items Rosa asked me to purchase. Tonight’s menu is cabbage soup and Rosa’s fine horse bread. Rosa is the cook.
“Hey Rosa, these are the items you asked for.” I inform her, as I place the items.
She beams with gratitude.
“Thank you my child.” Rosa hugs me.
She’s a middle aged lady, who is always kind to me. Kinder than most people in the village, since my parents passed away, when I was 18. Leaving me alone in this world. They died in a snow storm, like this one, because they were trying to save me.
I was trapped in the village, where I went to attend a party with friends. Unfortunately, my car broke down and they came to help. Only for them to have a ghastly accident. Everyone knew they were coming to save me and as a result tagged me the cursed girl that killed her parents.
“Andria, go serve the customers. They’ve started arriving!” Mr Krosov yells.
I jerk in fright. I haven’t had a bite to eat all day, because I can barely afford three meals on my pay, with my tuition and expenses. I’d have something later.
I prepare for my shift.
When my parents died, dad’s brother took everything. He was always envious of dad. I had nowhere to go and nothing to eat. That was how I met Rosa. She recommended me to Mr Krosov and that's how I got the job.
When I reach the bar, I begin my shift. Crina, my other colleague and friend is already on top speed, serving the customers. She’s very efficient with the customers and with her mouth. She told me so herself. I don’t want to even picture that description.
I reach a particular customer, Nicov. He’s one of the miners in the diamond mines down the village is easy on the eyes. He’s cleaned up nice after work. Comes here every evening after work.
“Andria.” He calls, smiling tenderly.
I return his smile. Avoiding his eyes.
“What would you have, Nicov?” I ask.
He offers me what I take as a seductive smile, but it doesn’t work on me. His sharp blue eyes on me.
“I’d have a beer, Andria and some of Rosa’s soup and bread, please.” He requests.
I nod, taking it down. Just before I leave, he holds my arm.
“Go out with me, Andria. You know I’ve always wanted you, since you started working here.” He smiles.
I turn my eyes to Mr Krosov, who is eyeing us, suspiciously. I shake my head.
“I can’t, Nicov. I don’t want to lose my job.” I tell him, shrugging him off.
“I’d still get you someday, Andria.” He chuckles.
His friends already coming to join him, as I turn to another customer.
After a while, I go behind the counter, and begin cleaning the cups, for more customers. The bar is lit in soft light that comes from the chandeliers up the ceiling.
I look at the clock on the wall, just as the clock strikes 9pm. There’s a loud crack of thunder and lightning in the sky, just as the door opens and a familiar figure walks into the bar.
Cloaked in a black winter hat, his dark coat and his usual eeriness, draping everyone in his wake of mystery.
The entire bar grows silent. The air tensed from the presence of this figure. Everyone is watching him, as he strolls further inside. His presence suggestive of the darkness and cold night outside the bar. Sending a quivering sensation.
Another crack of thunder and lightning and I finally see the figure’s face. Directly focused on me. A hard glare in the stormy gray eyes.
I gasp.
For the first time since this figure started coming into this bar, three months ago, his face comes to light. I already knew his looming and intimidating presence.
But tonight, I have a glimpse of his face.
His eyes raised. Piercing, stormy grey eyes, with this surreal glow. The fine lines of his face; sharp, his pale skin like alabaster. As handsome as a Greek sculpture. I swallow hard, taking in his entire handsomeness. A sweet thrill travels down my spine, inside my thighs. Waking something in me, which I've never felt.
Tonight his face isn’t hidden. Tonight, our eyes met. I'm completely speechless.
He shifts his eyes and walks to an empty table. Taking off his hat. I see his hair, shining, black and gold. Beautiful.
“Andria!” Mr Krosov calls me loudly, his eyes meet mine, the moment Mr Krosov yells my name.
“Don’t just stand there, go attend to the new customer!”

Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her.

The Vampire Prince's Hybrid Bride
From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
