Chapter 1
"속담에 잘 나와 있듯이, 첫째는 명, 둘째는 운, 셋째는 풍수라고 하죠. 아가씨, 손금 한번 봐드릴까요? 맞지 않으면 한 푼도 받지 않겠습니다."
양호가 공원을 지나가다가 문득 눈이 번쩍 뜨였다. 가슴을 설레게 하는 아름다운 여인의 모습이 보였기 때문이다.
하지만 그때, 그 미녀는 점을 보는 뚱뚱한 남자에게 붙잡혀 있었다. 보아하니 그녀에게 꼭 점을 봐주려는 모양이었다.
"이봐요, 뚱보, 장사는 서로 원해야 하는 거 아니에요? 이렇게 억지로 붙잡고 점을 보겠다는 건 좀 지나친 것 같은데요."
이런 영웅 구출 상황을 양호가 놓칠 리 없었다. 그래서 앞으로 걸어가 뚱보에게 큰 소리로 외쳤다.
양호의 목소리를 듣자 뚱보와 미녀가 동시에 고개를 돌려 그를 바라보았다.
와, 정말 예쁘다!
미녀의 얼굴을 본 양호의 심장이 쿵쿵 뛰기 시작했다.
산에서 내려온 후, 그는 몸매가 아주 좋은 여자들을 많이 봤지만, 대부분은 뒷모습만 좋을 뿐 실제 얼굴은 사람을 울게 할 정도로 못생겼다.
하지만 지금 눈앞의 이 미녀처럼 몸매도 좋고 얼굴도 이렇게 출중한 여자는 정말 드물었다.
양호의 시선이 미녀의 파도처럼 웅장한 두 곳의 풍경을 스칠 때, 그는 살짝 침을 삼켰다.
세상에, 정말 크다.
임소아는 양호가 색을 밝히는 표정을 짓는 모습을 보고 살짝 미간을 찌푸렸다.
그녀는 평소에 이런 시선에 익숙했기에 양호에게 약간 반감이 생겼다.
임소아는 양호를 흘겨보며 입을 삐죽이며 말했다. "흥, 내가 점을 안 보고 싶다는 걸 어떻게 알아요?"
이어서 그녀는 고개를 돌려 뚱보에게 말했다. "아까 손금을 보겠다고 하셨죠? 자, 봐보세요."
말을 마친 임소아는 가느다란 손을 뚱보에게 내밀었다.
젠장, 이 손은 마치 흰 연근 같아서 정말 최고급이군.
뚱보는 침을 삼키며 그 작은 손을 잡으려 할 때, "팡"하는 소리와 함께 그의 손이 갑자기 누군가에게 쳐졌다.
"이 꼬맹이, 아까부터 계속 내 장사를 방해하는데, 일부러 나 뚱보랑 싸우려는 거냐?"
또다시 그 젊은이가 자신의 일을 망치는 것을 본 뚱보는 분노한 표정으로 양호를 노려보며, 그를 산 채로 가죽을 벗기고 힘줄을 뽑아내고 싶을 정도였다.
양호는 냉소를 지으며 말했다. "당신 그 정도 실력으로 남의 손금을 본다고? 내가 보기엔 손금을 본다는 핑계로 이 여자를 희롱하려는 것 같은데."
"너... 너 함부로 말하지 마! 나 이뚱보는 이 근처에서 유명한 점술 대가야. 어떻게 그런 더러운 생각을 할 수 있겠어. 여기서 내 장사 방해하지 말고 빨리 꺼져."
뚱보는 비록 정의롭게 말했지만, 그의 흔들리는 눈빛이 이미 그를 배신하고 있었다.
양호가 계속해서 그의 거짓말을 폭로하고 미녀를 이 사기에서 구출하려고 했을 때, 뜻밖에도 임소아가 냉소를 지으며 말했다. "못 들었어요? 이분은 점술 대가라고요. 당신은 여기서 참견하지 마세요."
이어서 그녀는 또 한마디 덧붙였다. "그리고 제 생각에는 저를 희롱하려는 사람이 당신인 것 같은데요."
아, 좋은 일을 하는 게 이렇게 어려운 건가?
양호는 말문이 막혔다. 자신은 분명히 그녀를 돕고 있었는데, 이 미녀는 정말 대단한 인물이었다. 오히려 그를 나쁜 사람 취급했다.
"좋아요, 좋아요. 더 이상 상관 안 할게요. 계속하세요. 나중에 무슨 일이 생겨도 난 아무것도 못 본 척할 거예요."
양호는 더 이상 그 머리가 이상한 여자에게 신경 쓰지 않고 돌아서서 걸어갔다.
그러나 그가 멀리 가지 않았을 때, 갑자기 뒤에서 구조 요청 소리가 들렸다. "살려주세요! 빨리 와서 도와주세요! 누가 저를 희롱하려고 해요!"
양호가 고개를 돌려보니, 그 뚱보가 몇몇 동료들을 불러 그 미녀를 봉고차 안으로 밀어 넣고 있었다.
알고 보니 인신매매 조직이었다.
지금은 공원에 사람이 적은 시간이라 주변에는 양호 외에 다른 사람이 없었다. 그 미녀가 차 안으로 들어가고 그들이 사람 없는 곳으로 데려가면, 그 결과는 뻔했다.
평소라면 양호는 분명히 불의를 보면 도와줬을 테지만, 미녀의 아까 그 말을 생각하니 그는 바로 돌아서서 가버렸다.
"살려주세요! 살려주세요..."
임소아는 이제 창자가 다 녹아내릴 정도로 후회하고 있었다. 그녀는 눈앞의 이 점술 대가가 인신매매범이라고는 상상도 못했다!
이런 줄 알았으면 그 젊은이를 화나게 하지 말았어야 했는데, 오히려 그를 자신을 희롱하려는 나쁜 사람으로 여겼다.
이건 좋은 마음을 배은망덕으로 갚은 것이 아닌가!
"멈춰! 그 미녀를 놓아줘!"
임소아가 거의 절망하려는 순간, 옆에서 갑자기 큰 소리가 들렸다. 알고 보니 어느새 양호가 그들 뒤에 서 있었던 것이다!

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.

No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
