Introduction
Nunca alguém que se esquivasse de algo perverso, Icaro Lucchesi sente um imenso prazer em fazer sua nova esposa corar. Cada pensamento sórdido que o homem pode imaginar, ele já realizou pelo menos uma vez na vida, mas agora ele quer fazer tudo isso com ela.
Zorah, por outro lado, tem uma surpresa para seu novo marido. Ela não se guardou a vida inteira apenas para se entregar a um homem que não conhecia, muito menos amava. Se ele a quer, vai ter que merecê-la. Ela pode ter passado a maior parte da vida de joelhos rezando, mas Zorah quer Icaro de joelhos, implorando.
Zorah se vê envolvida em um mundo completamente novo de crime, violência e sexo, às vezes tudo ao mesmo tempo. Icaro não tem sido um homem bom desde a concepção, mas por ela, por sua esposa corada, ele está desesperado para tentar.
Será que Zorah aprenderá a amar o homem completo que é Icaro Lucchesi ou sua escuridão a empurrará para fugir como se o próprio diabo a estivesse perseguindo?

Chapter 1
Zorah Maria Esposito ergueu o queixo, desejando que o poder do Senhor fluísse sobre ela enquanto cantava seu solo na missa, durante a comunhão. No entanto, ela estava muito distraída e, embora pudesse cantar essa música até dormindo sem errar uma nota, sentia que seu coração não estava no lugar certo, pois não se concentrava totalmente nas belas letras, uma ode a Jesus.
Seu tio, irmão de sua mãe, Padre Ippocrate Giannone, estava conduzindo o serviço e, naquele momento, ele era a razão de seu nervosismo. Ele havia se aproximado dela mais cedo, com um ar orgulhoso, suas vestes esvoaçando com seus movimentos bruscos, e anunciou que queria vê-la imediatamente após a missa.
Os outros vinte e cinco membros do coro estavam todos de olhos arregalados, encarando-a com olhares de julgamento. Tudo o que ela pôde oferecer foi um tímido "sim, Padre Giannone" antes que ele saísse da sala com um floreio.
Agora, observando do fundo da igreja, no alto do coro que dava vista para o altar, ela notou que seus olhos continuavam a se voltar para um homem sentado na primeira fila. Ela não conseguia ver o rosto do outro homem, mas sabia que ele não era alguém da paróquia, certa de que teria reconhecido o homem só pela sua constituição física.
Quando voltou para seu lugar no coro, sua melhor amiga Sidonia a cutucou, sussurrando. "O que você acha que ele quer?"
"Eu não sei, você já perguntou isso umas seis vezes." Ela exalou tremulamente.
"Você acha que ele descobriu que ficamos até tarde na quinta? Tipo, a gente só estava rezando. Trancamos, né? Não esquecemos de trancar a capela quando saímos?"
"Trancamos, Sidonia. Ele não ia ficar bravo por termos ficado mais tempo rezando."
"Você confessou algum pecado?"
"Não."
O diretor do coro se virou e lançou olhares de advertência enquanto o serviço de comunhão chegava ao fim, e elas congelaram.
Quando Zorah pendurou sua veste e garantiu a Sidonia que a encontraria de volta no apartamento, ela estava decididamente mais nervosa do que antes. Procrastinando, oferecendo-se para arrumar a sala, ela ficou para trás até que o último dos membros do coro saísse.
Seu tio nunca foi um sujeito amigável, apesar de ser padre. Enquanto alguns eram calorosos, gentis e amorosos, perdoando transgressões em nome de Jesus, seu tio tendia a lançar julgamentos de inferno, fogo e enxofre sem pestanejar.. Sua pele mais de uma vez sentiu o chicote de seu flagelo usado para puni-la pelos pecados que ela, sem dúvida, cometia em sua mente.
Desde a morte de seus pais, Ippocrate se declarou o chefe da família, que consistia nele, Zipporah, sua única irmã, e sua filha Zorah. Zipporah passava mais tempo de joelhos rezando do que Zorah, e isso já diz muito. Sua mãe estava se arrependendo desde que se descobriu grávida aos dezesseis anos pelas doces palavras de um bad boy. Seus pais se recusaram a considerar a adoção para sua única filha e insistiram que todas as crianças eram bênçãos, forçando Zipporah a criar seu bebê. Então, eles morreram quando Zorah tinha apenas dois anos, deixando a mãe e a filha sob os olhos vigilantes e sempre condescendentes do Padre Ippocrate.
Ela foi surpreendida por um movimento perto da porta, já que deveria estar sozinha, e olhou alarmada. O homem de ombros largos que estava sentado na primeira fila do serviço estava na sala do coro.
"Olá," ela acenou nervosamente. Raramente ficava sozinha com um rapaz ou um homem. Ela trabalhava em um consultório odontológico, então havia momentos em que pacientes estavam na sala esperando, mas isso parecia diferente. Ele era um dos homens mais bonitos que ela já tinha visto. Olhos azul-escuros, da cor de mirtilos maduros que estourariam na língua, perfuravam seus olhos castanho-claros. Seu cabelo era grosso, preto e brilhante, penteado para trás, longe das têmporas. Seus ombros eram tão largos que ela provavelmente poderia colocar três dela lado a lado e ainda haveria espaço, e ele tinha bem mais de um metro e oitenta de altura. Enquanto seus olhos percorriam sua silhueta, notou que ele era esbelto e em forma. Seu olhar voltou para o rosto dele, notando o nariz reto e os lábios grossos, e ela ficou hipnotizada quando ele passou a língua sobre o lábio inferior, que se curvou em um pequeno sorriso.
"Scusi," seu forte sotaque italiano saiu de uma língua que oferecia uma voz rouca. Seus olhos zombavam enquanto ele a pegava olhando para seu corpo.
Ela corou intensamente, "posso ajudar?"
"O que você tá fazendo?" ele perguntou, acenando para o livro em sua mão.
Ela engoliu nervosamente, "eu estava guardando os últimos hinários em seus devidos lugares. O Diretor Mallorca pediu que eu fizesse isso antes de ir para casa."
"E onde fica sua casa?"
O tom curioso de sua voz a fez hesitar e ela sussurrou, "não é uma caminhada longa daqui." Ela respirou fundo e apressou-se, "posso ajudá-lo, senhor? Preciso ver meu tio, ele está me esperando."
"Senhor?" ele riu, "ah doce Zorah, é assim que você me chamaria?"
"Nos conhecemos?" ela franziu a testa para ele. Ela não conseguia situá-lo. Se fosse o caso, seus olhos seriam algo para lembrar, ela tinha certeza disso.
"Ainda não, amoré."
Ele deu mais um passo na sala, e ela sabia que seus olhos estavam caricaturalmente arregalados enquanto ele se movia em sua direção, e pela maneira como ele se movia, ela quase se perguntou se o homem flutuava, seus olhos focados nela como um falcão observando sua presa. Ela estava encostada nas prateleiras de livros, seus dedos apertados ao redor do hinário em sua mão e sua respiração parou completamente. Seus olhos se fecharam e ela inclinou a cabeça para longe dele enquanto ele se inclinava sobre ela, seu nariz roçando o lado de seu pescoço como se ele estivesse cheirando-a, seu hálito quente em seu ouvido quando ele sussurrou.
"Tão inocente. Quase dá vontade de dizer uma oração de agradecimento." Ele se endireitou e segurou seu queixo, "eu vou te ver em breve." Seus lábios queimaram sua testa com um beijo.
Sem mais delongas, ele se endireitou e voltou para a porta. Ela estava tremendo de terror e de uma consciência de um homem que nunca havia experimentado antes. A maneira como ele respirava intimamente contra seu pescoço fez arrepios cobrirem sua pele e ela ainda podia sentir seus lábios em sua testa.
"Zorah," ele se virou na porta, dando-lhe um olhar duro, este assustador, ameaçador, e ela lutou para respirar diante de sua expressão gelada, "é melhor você permanecer intocada até lá ou haverá um inferno a pagar."
Com isso, ele desapareceu na igreja, e ela agarrou a estante atrás dela, se perguntando o que estava acontecendo e por que seu coração estava batendo tão forte. O medo era certamente uma razão, mas outra emoção, uma que ela nunca se permitiu experimentar antes, provocava seu cérebro. Ela quase caiu de joelhos em arrependimento.

Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
