Nox Shadow
Chapter 1
"Setelah pertempuran sengit, tubuh Joyce Blackwood tertutup lapisan tipis keringat. Sebastian Winters memeluknya erat, jari-jari rampingnya mengelus wajah Joyce. Di mata peach blossom yang dalam milik Sebastian, ada kasih sayang yang belum pernah terlihat sebelumnya.
Meskipun Sebastian telah membuat Joyce melalui banyak hal, sekarang dia merasa sangat dicintai. Namun, sebelum keinginan Joyce mereda, ponsel Sebastian berdering. Melihat ID penelepon, hati Joyce bergetar. Dia menggenggam lengan Sebastian lebih erat dan menatapnya, "Bisa nggak kamu nggak jawab?"
Panggilan itu dari Isabella Vale, wanita yang sangat dicintai Sebastian. Isabella baru kembali ke negara ini kurang dari sebulan yang lalu dan sudah mencoba bunuh diri beberapa kali. Joyce tahu itu hanya cara Isabella mencari perhatian, tapi Sebastian sepertinya tidak peduli dengan perasaan Joyce. Dia mendorong Joyce tanpa kelembutan dan dengan buru-buru menjawab panggilan itu.
Joyce tidak tahu apa yang dikatakan di telepon. Dia hanya melihat kedalaman emosi di mata Sebastian, lebih dalam dari malam di luar jendela. Setelah Sebastian menutup telepon, dia cepat-cepat berpakaian, berkata, "Isabella mengancam bunuh diri lagi. Aku harus mengeceknya."
Joyce duduk di tempat tidur, kulit putihnya penuh bekas. Dia menatap Sebastian dengan intens, "Tapi hari ini ulang tahunku, dan kamu janji akan menghabiskannya denganku. Aku punya sesuatu yang penting untuk diberitahukan padamu."
Sebastian, yang sudah berpakaian, menatapnya dengan alis tajam dan mata dingin. "Kapan kamu jadi nggak masuk akal begini? Nyawa Isabella terancam setiap saat."
Sebelum Joyce bisa bereaksi, Sebastian membanting pintu dengan keras. Tak lama kemudian, suara mesin mobil terdengar di bawah. Joyce meraih di bawah bantal dan mengambil sebuah kotak kecil yang indah. Dia melihat dua cincin di dalamnya, matanya berkaca-kaca. Tiga tahun yang lalu, dia dipojokkan oleh penjahat di sebuah gang, dan Sebastian terluka saat mencoba menyelamatkannya. Joyce menawarkan diri untuk tinggal dan merawatnya. Satu hal membawa ke hal lain, dan mereka menjalin hubungan.
Waktu itu, Sebastian bertanya apakah Joyce ingin bersamanya, tanpa janji pernikahan. Joyce setuju tanpa ragu karena Sebastian adalah pria yang diam-diam dia kagumi selama empat tahun. Sejak saat itu, Joyce menjadi sekretaris Sebastian yang cakap dan cantik di siang hari dan pendamping patuh di malam hari. Joyce naif percaya bahwa Sebastian mencintainya. Ketidakmauan Sebastian untuk menikahinya dipengaruhi oleh keluarganya.
Joyce menghabiskan sepanjang hari untuk mempersiapkan lamaran, berharap bisa menembus keraguan Sebastian. Tapi panggilan Isabella menghancurkan ilusinya. Mungkin Sebastian memang ingin menikah, tapi bukan dengan dia. Joyce tersenyum pahit dan menyimpan cincin itu kembali. Dia membongkar semua dekorasi di teras sendirian dan pergi dengan mobilnya. Namun, tidak lama setelah dia pergi, rasa sakit tajam menyerang perut bawahnya.
Joyce melihat ke bawah dan melihat darah merembes di kursi kulit putih. Dia segera menelepon Sebastian, "Sebastian, perutku sakit. Bisa nggak kamu jemput aku?"
Sebastian, dengan nada agak tidak sabar, menjawab, "Joyce, kamu bisa ngambek, tapi pilih waktu yang tepat!"
Joyce, ketakutan oleh semakin banyaknya darah, menangis, "Sebastian, aku nggak bohong. Perutku sakit banget, dan aku juga..."
Sebelum dia bisa menyelesaikan kalimatnya, suara Sebastian terdengar di telepon, dingin dan tak acuh. "Joyce, Isabella sekarat, dan kamu berani-beraninya membuat ini semua tentang dirimu!"

My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
