Selena Maeve · Ongoing · 56.2k Words
Introduction
Then she opened her mouth and shattered that illusion.
“Are you trying to sleep with me? Why are you staring at me?”
After a night of passion, she woke up and calmly eyed his abs like she was appraising merchandise.
“Here’s your tip. Thank you for your work last night!” she smirked, a dollar bill tucked between her fingers.
Does she think I am a gigolo? Tyler sneered.
Then one day, a message from Ellie lit up his phone:
[I’m getting engaged. Are you going to take me away? Gigolo?]
He scrambled to his feet, rushing to the engagement ceremony.
This time, no one could stop him from taking her.
Chapter 1
In a private room, a woman sat before an easel with a brush in her hand. The stillness stood in stark contrast to the bustling wedding below.
She faced away from the door, absorbed in her painting—a depiction of a wedding scene.
When she glanced up, the man who’d stumbled in froze.
So beautiful!
His Adam’s apple moved.
His name was Tyler Torres, and he was merely accompanying a friend to the hotel wedding. He’d never expected to find a woman of such breathtaking beauty in a place like this.
“Truly a beauty, except for the painting!” he murmured, shaking his head slightly.
CRACK!
The woman threw the paintbrush to the floor, smearing the lipstick on her lips.
A blood-red skull suddenly appeared on her painting. Its eyes burned like the fires of hell.
“Brilliant! Absolutely! The hell in it! This is fantastic!” Tyler remarked.
The woman turned around calmly, looking him up and down.
The man wore a bathrobe and hotel slippers. Tall and imposing, his hair was half-dry and swept back. Through the open robe, his pectorals were visible.
“Single?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes.” He nodded.
Her gaze drifted downward and settled on his chest.
“Want to sleep with me?” she asked.
What?! Did I mishear?
He froze, meeting her sharp eyes.
“No? Then forget it,” she said lightly, turning around.
Tyler watched as she opened the door and stepped out.
He tugged at the collar of his bathrobe, following her into the hallway.
Did she draw with her right hand at the beginning?
Why did she toss the brush with her left hand after finishing the skull?
He paused in the corridor, watching her stride straight toward a handsome attendant.
Just as she was about to speak to him—
Tyler rushed forward, pulling her into his arms.
She looked at him coldly.
“Yes, go ahead,” he smirked, scanning her face and figure.
Then he hoisted her onto his shoulder and strode away.

In the private room,
A group pushed the door open, erupting into chaos.
“Oh my God! Who did this?!”
“What a waste! The painting was so beautiful!”
“That skull is terrifying! Who scribbled all over it?!”
“Damn it! Where the hell did Ellie Ward go? She stole the spotlight at my wedding and now ignores the painting!” the bride, Nora Ward, yelled.

In the private presidential suite,
Tyler carried Ellie into the room with one arm and flung her onto the bed.
He ripped open the fabric between them, kissing her roughly.
His hand settled at the nape of her neck – — a quiet command more than force.
He slipped the straps of her dress off her shoulders.
His palm traced downward until the clasp of her undergarment snapped open.
His kisses moved to her collarbone and chest, leaving clear marks.
He reached out and switched off the light.
In the darkness, his movements abruptly halted.
He frowned.
He switched the light back on and scrutinized her, disbelief written across his face.
“First time?” he asked.
“Is there a problem?” Ellie smiled faintly.
“Are you crazy?” Tyler stared at her.
“No.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything?” He frowned.
“What’s there to say?”
“If you’d told me it was your first time, I’d have been more gentle.”
“Does it matter? Isn’t it all the same?”
“What’s wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?” He locked eyes with her.
“My mind is perfectly fine,” she said calmly, meeting his gaze. “So, shall we continue?”
He fell silent for a long moment, finally looking away.
Too late to stop now…
He switched off the light again.
He leaned down, kissing her—this time slow, deliberate.
His hands glided over her body, moving carefully, feeling the tension beneath her skin.
Under his patient guidance, her body gradually relaxed, her breathing turning ragged.
She began to lose herself.
In the darkness, a moan slipped from her throat.
He thrust forward, entering her.
On the brink of surrender, his scorching breath brushed her ear as he whispered, “Is it the same now?”
Ignoring him, she buried her face into his shoulder.
Her fingers tightened, leaving marks down his back.
“Are you always this gentle in bed? It doesn’t match your appearance,” Ellie smiled faintly.
“It’s also my first time,” Tyler said hoarsely.
It stunned Ellie.
Tyler moved with such lightness, almost unnervingly careful.
After a while, he stopped, rolled over, and carried her to the side with one hand.
“Go ahead?”
“Can I turn on the light? I want to see you,” he asked in a low voice.
She reached out and quietly turned on the bedside lamp.
Warm light spilled across her, illuminating her graceful form.
However, Tyler closed his eyes.
“Didn’t you want to see?” she asked, looking at him.
He turned his head away, then looked back at her after a moment.
She laughed softly as he kissed her.
“What are you thinking?” he asked.
“I like you.”
“Like me? You don’t even know my name.”
“I like your kisses.” Her gaze remained cool, even as their bodies drew close.
“You truly have no heart,” he murmured, kissing her eyelids softly.
His kiss slid down to her lips as one of his hands shielded her.
“What are you afraid of?” Ellie chuckled.
“Afraid of hurting you.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck, tilting her head to meet his lips.
Truly fascinating man!

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

On this cold winter night, he threw my wounded body into the icy pool, arrogantly enjoying it all, drinking and smoking expensive cigars. A satisfied, cold smile played on his lips as he reveled in my pain. His face was filled with the darkness of sin.
