Chapter 1
(Então)
Despejei um pouco da mistura de bolo em uma forma de bolo e depois fiz o mesmo com as outras duas, o tamanho das formas diminuindo à medida que eu avançava. Era um dia quente de verão, no final de agosto. Enxugando o suor da testa com a manga, olhei para cima e vi Hannah, nossa cozinheira. "Espero que dê certo."
Ela sorriu para mim. O bolo era da receita da Hannah. Para ser sincera, ela tinha feito a maior parte do trabalho. Mas eu tinha participado consideravelmente. Eu até que sou uma cozinheira, mas não queria arriscar hoje. Tudo tinha que ser perfeito hoje. Simplesmente perfeito.
E ia dar certo, eu podia sentir.
Felix estava partindo no dia seguinte. Por quatro longos anos. Claro, ele ia visitar, mas não seria mais a mesma coisa. Eu queria poder ir com ele. Tínhamos planejado antes, quando éramos mais jovens. Sempre soubemos que isso aconteceria. Felix e eu desejávamos todos os dias ter nascido no mesmo ano, para podermos ir para a faculdade juntos e um de nós não ter que ficar para trás. Mas ele tinha que ser mais velho. Eu ainda tinha dois anos de ensino médio pela frente, e Felix tinha entrado em Princeton.
Quando tínhamos 10 e 12 anos, falávamos sobre como Felix poderia tirar dois anos sabáticos, ou eu poderia terminar o ensino médio mais cedo, ou até mesmo me mudar para a cidade para onde ele fosse e terminar lá. Fazia sentido na época, mas, conforme fomos crescíamos, foi ficando cada vez mais impossível. Não importa o quanto você planeje, a vida sempre dá um jeitinho de atrapalhar.
Mas tudo ficaria bem. Certo?
De qualquer forma, eu não tinha muito tempo para me preocupar. Era a festa de despedida do Felix esta noite. Eu tinha planejado tudo para ele. O bolo era para ele. Floresta negra, o favorito dele. Seus amigos iam vir, e eles me ajudaram a providenciar bebidas, e a Hannah estava fazendo comidas de festa também. Ia ser divertido.
Eu me preocuparia amanhã, depois que ele partisse. Era tudo o que eu faria pelos quatro anos em que ele estaria lá. Me preocupar. E esperar.
Era difícil explicar o relacionamento entre Felix e eu. Éramos amigos, acho. Mas eu não gostava dessa palavra. Conhecia o Felix para sempre. Ele estava lá no hospital quando nasci. Com sua mãe, a melhor amiga da minha mãe. Ele tinha apenas dois anos e não se lembrava, é claro, mas ele estava lá, contava. E nunca tínhamos nos separado desde então. Ele foi meu amigo na escola primária, meu protetor no ensino fundamental e depois tudo o mais no ensino médio. Tudo era uma boa palavra. Ele era meu... tudo.
Minha amiga Tilly disse que ele era meu namorado. Mas eu odiava essa palavra, e ele nunca a usou, nem uma vez. Mas fui ao baile de formatura com ele. E ele nunca namorou ninguém mais, e não me deixou também. Não que eu quisesse. Mas ele nunca me beijou também. Havia essa parte. Se ao menos ele me beijasse, eu saberia onde estávamos. Eu até previ tantas vezes. Como naquela vez na banheira de hidromassagem dele, ou naquela vez no terraço depois que eu tinha chorado. Mas nunca aconteceu.
"Princeton é uma ótima escola", disse Hannah, casualmente. "Felix vai fazer muitos amigos novos. E vai conhecer garotas inteligentes."
Engoli um nó na garganta. Essa era outra preocupação minha. Garotas. E se ele fosse para lá e se apaixonasse? E se ela me odiasse e dissesse a ele para nunca mais falar comigo?
Notando a expressão no meu rosto, Hannah riu. Ela afagou levemente minha cabeça. "Não se preocupe, Srta. Flora", provocou ela, "aquele garoto é louco por você."
Revirei os olhos. "Ele é apenas meu amigo, Hannah."
Ela sorriu. "Claro."
Enquanto os bolos assavam, comecei a bater um pouco de creme para a cobertura. Nisso, eu era boa, então fiz sozinha, enquanto Hannah trabalhava no restante da comida.
Em cerca de duas horas, o bolo estava pronto. Escrevi um 'Já sinto sua falta' curto e simples na camada superior. Esperava que ele gostasse. Esperava que não achasse cafona. Colocando o bolo na geladeira, corri para o meu quarto e tomei um banho rápido, depois vesti um vestido de verão rosa fofo. Felix gostava de rosa em mim. Ele dizia que me fazia parecer uma flor bonita.
Depois de me vestir, corri para baixo. A festa seria do lado de fora, nos jardins da nossa propriedade. Hannah já havia começado a decorar, e eu corri para ajudá-la, pendurando luzes de fadas e um banner que dizia 'Tudo de Melhor Felix!' e um menor 'Princeton Espera'. Por volta das 20h, os amigos de Felix começaram a chegar. Ele não fazia ideia de que havia uma festa. Eu deveria chamá-lo para minha casa e surpreendê-lo. Quando todos estavam lá, apaguei as luzes no jardim para que ele não pudesse ver nada, então chamei Felix.
"Oi! Gostaria de vir passar um tempo?" Perguntei alegremente. Parecia animada. Não queria me entregar.
"Estarei aí em 5 minutos", ele respondeu, e desligou, e eu sabia que ele já estava a caminho. Ele morava a duas casas de distância. Não levaria mais do que os 5 minutos que ele havia prometido.
"Rápido!" Anunciei. "Ele está a caminho."
Todos se acomodaram de forma discreta. A festa surpresa e as táticas eram um pouco juvenis, mas os amigos dele foram legais o suficiente para colaborar comigo. Todos eram legais comigo por causa do Felix. As coisas mudariam muito depois que ele partisse.
Ele havia chegado até a minha porta da frente sem notar o tumulto ao lado, no quintal. Abri antes que ele tivesse a chance de tocar a campainha. "Oi!" Disse casualmente.
Ele me olhou de cima a baixo, os olhos estreitando. "Por que está tão arrumada?"
Dei de ombros. "Saí."
Ele inclinou a cabeça para o lado, me encarando. "Com quem?"
"Você não os conhece", disse, "Quer ficar no jardim?"
Ele deu de ombros. "O que você quiser, Flora." Sorri e peguei sua mão, me guiando até o jardim. Ainda o puxando atrás de mim, liguei casualmente o interruptor para as luzes se acenderem. Tudo se iluminou, e de repente todos estavam à vista. E a música começou. Estava perfeito.
"Surpresa", sussurrei para o Felix, sorrindo para ele.
Ele me abraçou tão apertado que quase me levantou do chão. Eu ri, envolvendo minhas pernas ao redor dele, derretendo em seu abraço. No caos do dia, eu realmente tinha esquecido o quanto sentiria falta dele. Como seus braços se sentiam ao meu redor, a suavidade distinta em sua voz quando falava comigo, o olhar travesso em seu rosto antes de fazer algo que sabia que me irritaria.
"Obrigado", ele sussurrou, antes de me baixar e me fazer ficar em pé novamente. Ele bagunçou meu cabelo, sorrindo para baixo para mim. "Você é tão fofa, Flora."

“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.
From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother

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.

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.
