Introduction

Debería haber estado aterrorizada por Kace, asustado por su tamaño, asustado por los feroces tatuajes que le cubrían los brazos y el torso, y definitivamente asustado por el furioso ceño que desataba contra cualquiera que se atreviera a interrumpirlo.

Salvo que parecía gustarle a Kace, tímida, aburrida y socialmente inepta. No podía cambiarse los tatuajes ni la altura, pero rara vez me miraba con el ceño fruncido tan característico.

Bueno, quizás era más bien que me toleraba, pero a pesar de todo, a Kace no parecía importarle que me quedara en el bar en el que trabajaba, poniendo en práctica mi tendencia a los noctámbulos mientras escribía.
Mira, mi trabajo fue el único lugar que exploré. Mi lugar seguro para escribir libros sucios, llenos de vapor y pervertidos como quisiera.

¿En cuanto a mí personalmente? Nunca había experimentado nada parecido al tipo de cosas que escribí.
Pero tal vez era hora de cambiar eso.

Chapter 1

Brooke

Él embistió con fuerza, su grito de placer resonando en sus oídos, luego extendió una mano hacia abajo para—

—¿Quieres otra?

Salté y cerré de golpe la pantalla de mi portátil, incluso mientras la voz ronca se deslizaba sobre mi piel como papel de lija, escarbando en mis terminaciones nerviosas, haciendo que los pelos de mi nuca se erizaran y mis muslos se apretaran.

Bueno, tal vez no tanto como papel de lija, sino más bien como terciopelo.

Suave con un poco de cuerpo.

Pero aún así, sexy como el infierno deslizándose sobre mi piel.

—Hola.

Parpadeé, detuve mi comparación mental de terciopelo con papel de lija y miré hacia arriba, muy arriba, a los ojos de Kace. Barman extraordinario, poseedor de esa voz sexy y, además, dueño de un cuerpo que debería ser ilegal. Caderas estrechas, hombros anchos, abdominales planos y bíceps que estiraban las mangas de las simples camisetas que siempre usaba. Completando el look, cabello castaño oscuro, ojos azules penetrantes, una nariz recta y labios carnosos y besables.

Más que agradable de ver. También, más que peligroso para mi bienestar.

Esos ojos azules se dirigieron a mi vaso, casi vacío, la soda dietética muy por debajo de la línea de hielo en la copa.

—Sí —murmuré—. Otra estaría genial.

Él levantó la barbilla, agarró mi bebida y luego se dio la vuelta para rellenarla.

Kace no se demoraba, no solía interrumpir, aunque en este caso, probablemente lo había pedido, mirándolo descaradamente en busca de inspiración. Se había convertido en el héroe del libro que estaba escribiendo, y qué inspiración tan increíble era. Pero por eso, lo había estado admirando, soñando despierta, tramando en mi cabeza mientras mi héroe y heroína se familiarizaban extremadamente entre las sábanas. Todo era estrictamente con fines de investigación... bueno, eso y también preguntándome cuántos orgasmos podría darle a mi heroína ficticia.

Muchos.

La respuesta a esa pregunta era muchos.

Lo sabía en la forma en que se movía, fluido y eficiente, confianza en cada acción. Kace podría ser taciturno con una mandíbula tan afilada como un cuchillo, mi propia encarnación del Sr. Darcy, aunque con tatuajes, barba de tres días y un inmenso conocimiento de licores de alta gama, pero también era un hombre que conocía su cuerpo.

Yo podría ser una autora tímida y torpe, pero el ADN y tres millones de años de evolución me decían que él era un hombre que no estaría satisfecho sin que su mujer tuviera al menos un orgasmo.

De ahí la razón por la que había sido la inspiración para mis últimos cinco héroes.

Y la razón por la que estaba adelantada en mis plazos por primera vez en unos cien años, o quizás debería decir nunca. De hecho, había pasado los últimos seis meses trabajando casi todas las noches hasta la madrugada en este bar, después de haberlo descubierto cuando mi vecino interrumpió mi trabajo con sus ronquidos. Pensarías que mis tendencias nocturnas serían algo bueno cuando se trata de asegurar tranquilidad, o al menos un nivel básico de ruido constante que no fuera del tipo motosierra, pero los ronquidos de mi vecino no eran propicios para eso.

Por lo tanto, mi necesidad de abandonar mi apartamento y sus paredes delgadas.

Pero, historia divertida, ninguna cafetería estaba abierta después de las nueve, los restaurantes del vecindario cerraban a las diez, y regresar a mi apartamento no había producido ni un solo capítulo.

Así que busqué en Yelp. Luego deambule. Finalmente, descubrí Bobby’s.

No la sala principal con todos los jóvenes y ruidosos universitarios, sino la sala trasera, casi oculta, con su cálida madera y la barra ligeramente pegajosa y taburetes cómodos con un peldaño extra que mis ridículamente cortas piernas podían alcanzar.

Esto era crucial.

Agradecí a Kace cuando depositó mi vaso frente a mí, lleno de hielo y soda, luego esperé hasta que se fue antes de abrir mi portátil de nuevo. Pero antes de que pudiera terminar la escena, o más bien terminar a mi heroína, mi mente y mis ojos se desviaron de nuevo hacia él.

Kace rimaba con "mace", algo que no era inmediatamente claro cuando se trataba de su placa de nombre. Me tomó una semana completa de visitas descubrir que se pronunciaba de esa manera.

Bobby’s era un problema.

Un festín visual, pero aún así, un problema.

Afortunadamente, me había vuelto buena ignorando la distracción que era Kace, y mi tarea se hizo más fácil esa noche porque él desapareció a través de las puertas batientes que llevaban a la cocina.

Con un rápido sorbo de mi soda, volví al trabajo.

El hielo en mi vaso se había derretido para cuando volví a mirar hacia arriba, y mi afortunada heroína había terminado dos veces.

¡Bien hecho, chica! pensé con una sonrisa, guardando el archivo y tomando un gran trago. La soda estaba tibia, sin gas y desagradable, y arrugué la nariz antes de dejar el vaso. Ojalá pudiera decir que era una ocurrencia poco común, mi desperdicio de una Diet Coke perfectamente buena, pero desafortunadamente, las arruinaba con regularidad.

—¿Quieres una fresca?

Mis ojos se levantaron del vaso para encontrarse con los de Kace.

—Um —murmuré—. Claro. Pero, ¿puedes añadir un poco de ron?

Un destello de dientes blancos. —¿Todo listo, entonces? —Se inclinó hacia mí, apoyando sus antebrazos en la barra, las mangas largas de su camisa subiendo para revelar solo el borde de un tatuaje. Ya había visto todo el tatuaje antes. En el Día 36. Había usado mangas cortas por un cambio, un gesto ante el clima inusualmente caluroso de ese día, y de repente mi héroe tenía tatuajes, hermosas líneas ondulantes que se arrastraban por su piel, rodeando y subiendo por sus antebrazos, retorciéndose juntas y desapareciendo bajo el algodón de sus mangas cortas, tentando a una mujer a seguirlas con la lengua.

No.

La lengua de mi heroína.

La fantasía estaba bien, siempre y cuando la mantuviera entre las páginas.

Me mordí el labio inferior hasta que la imagen mental se desvaneció, mantuve mi lengua firmemente en mi boca y asentí a Kace.

Él golpeó sus nudillos contra el mostrador una vez, correspondió mi asentimiento, luego agarró mi vaso y se dio la vuelta, tirando el contenido, añadiendo hielo, ron y luego soda antes de volver hacia mí. Colocó la bebida en la barra, pero cuando fui a alcanzarla, él descansó su mano sobre la mía. —¿En qué estás trabajando tan diligentemente? —preguntó, y el contacto, junto con sus ojos fijos en los míos, me robó el aliento.

—¿Qué?

Su respuesta fue soltar mi mano, y mientras lamentaba la pérdida de su toque, él agarró mi computadora, la giró para enfrentarla y la abrió.

—No—

Pero ya era demasiado tarde.

Estaba abierta, la pantalla iluminándose, iluminando sus rasgos afilados pero hermosos, y él estaba leyendo.

¡Oh, mierda, estaba leyendo!

Hice un intento desesperado por agarrar el portátil, pero él lo levantó del bar, alzándolo en el aire y continuando la lectura. Mi computadora ocultaba la mayor parte de su rostro, pero no sus cejas. Esas cejas seguían subiendo hasta que eran C’s laterales apretados en su frente, muy por encima del borde de mi pantalla.

Luego bajó el portátil y me miró.

—¿Esto es lo que has estado escribiendo?

En justicia, me había atrapado en medio de una escena caliente, hecha más caliente porque él había sido mi inspiración para ella.

Un hecho que parecía entender cuando sus ojos se encontraron con los míos. —¿Jace?

Tosí. —Es un nombre común.

—¿Ojos azules? —Miró de nuevo a la pantalla—. ¿Tatuajes? ¿Cabello castaño?

—No es una combinación poco común. —Tomé mi vaso, lo vacié, los ojos llorosos por la quemadura.

—¿Una cicatriz en el lado derecho de su labio inferior? —preguntó, dejando mi portátil.

Bien, ahora era el momento de correr.

Algo que normalmente aborrecía, pero en este caso, era crítico. Agarré mi computadora, saqué algo de dinero de mi cartera y lo arrojé sobre la barra.

Luego salté del taburete y corrí.

"You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
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."

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

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.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
