Introduction
어릴 적, 내 집은 그녀의 집 옆에 있었다. 그녀는 나보다 세 살 많았고, 우리는 함께 자라면서 서로를 잘 알게 되었다.
그녀는 항상 활발하고 명랑했으며, 사람들의 관심을 끄는 타고난 재능이 있었다. 그녀의 웃음소리는 마치 은방울이 울리는 것처럼 청아했고, 그녀가 웃을 때마다 주변 사람들도 따라 웃게 만들었다.
반면에 나는 내성적이고 조용한 아이였다. 학교에서 괴롭힘을 당할 때마다 그녀가 나서서 나를 보호해 주곤 했다. 그녀는 마치 내 수호천사 같았다.
열다섯 살 때, 나는 그녀에게 고백했다. 하지만 그녀는 나를 동생처럼 여길 뿐이라고 말했다. 그 순간, 내 가슴은 산산조각 났지만, 그래도 우리는 여전히 좋은 친구로 남았다.
시간이 흘러 대학에 진학한 후, 우리는 서로 다른 도시로 떠나게 되었고 점점 연락이 뜸해졌다. 그러다 어느 날, 내 여동생의 친구를 통해 그녀의 여동생을 소개받게 되었다. 그녀의 동생은 언니와 달리 조용하고 차분했지만, 그 속에 숨겨진 따뜻함이 있었다.
우리는 데이트를 시작했고, 2년 후 결혼했다. 결혼식 날, 그녀가 오랜만에 나타났을 때 내 심장은 잠시 멈춘 것 같았다. 그녀는 여전히 아름다웠고, 그 미소는 여전히 나를 설레게 했다.
"축하해, 동생."
그녀가 내게 속삭였을 때, 나는 잠시 혼란스러웠다. 그녀를 향한 내 마음이 완전히 사라진 것은 아니었지만, 이제 내 옆에는 진심으로 사랑하는 아내가 있었다.
세월이 흘러, 그녀는 우리 집에 자주 놀러 오게 되었다. 그녀는 여전히 결혼하지 않았고, 내 아내와 함께 있을 때면 항상 즐거워 보였다. 가끔 그녀의 눈빛이 나를 향할 때면, 옛 감정이 살짝 되살아나기도 했지만, 그것은 이제 그저 추억일 뿐이었다.
어쩌면 인생은 이런 것인지도 모른다. 우리가 원하는 것을 항상 얻을 수는 없지만, 때로는 예상치 못한 행복이 찾아오기도 한다. 그리고 지금, 나는 내 선택에 후회가 없다.

Chapter 1
"원, 그만해, 그러지 마세요..."
방 안에서 들려오는 천야오의 낮은 신음 소리에, 장원은 깜짝 놀라 눈을 크게 떴다.
천야오는 장원의 처형, 즉 그의 아내의 언니로, 일주일 전에 일자리를 찾으러 도시에 와서 장원의 집에 머물고 있었다.
천야오는 올해 겨우 서른 살이고, 이혼한 상태라 그런 욕구가 있는 건 당연했지만, 자신을 환상의 대상으로 삼을 줄은 장원이 상상도 못했던 일이었다.
"음~ 좀 부드럽게, 나 당신 처형이라고요!"
"살살하라고 했는데 더 세게 하네, 아파..."
계속되는 교성과 점점 더 격해지는 말들을 들으며, 장원의 원래 평온했던 마음에 어쩔 수 없이 파문이 일었다.
아내가 오늘 막 출장을 떠났는데, 언니가 방에서 이러는 건, 혹시 일부러 그러는 걸까?
장원은 마음속으로 생각하며, 천야오에 대해 가져서는 안 될 생각이 몇 가지 떠올랐다. 오른손으로 살며시 문고리를 잡고 문을 조금 열었다.
시야에 들어온 요염한 광경에 그의 몸은 즉시 흥분되었고, 어느 부위가 벌떡 일어났다.
그때, 천야오는 침대에 누워 있었는데, 온몸에 실오라기 하나 걸치지 않은 채, 눈부신 하얀 피부가 조명 아래서 반짝이고 있었다.
그 길쭉한 다리를 높이 들어올리고, 손에는 빠르게 진동하는 물건을 쥐고, 몽롱한 눈빛으로 다리 사이를 만지작거리고 있었다. '웅웅' 진동 소리와 함께 흰 침대 시트 위에 금세 회색 자국이 생겼다...
그 자국은 빠르게 커져갔고, 문 밖에 숨어있는 장원은 익숙한 냄새까지 맡을 수 있었다. 그건 분명 천야오의 아래에서 나오는 욕망의 향기였다.
장원을 더 참을 수 없게 만든 것은, 천야오가 이미 완전히 흥분한 상태라는 점이었다. 붉게 상기된 얼굴에 온통 요염한 기운이 가득했고, 한 손에는 그 큰 장난감을 들고 있었지만, 다른 한 손도 가만히 있지 않고 가슴의 부드러운 살을 주무르고 있었다. 그 하얀 부드러움이 파도처럼 일렁이고 있었다...
선명한 붉은 입술이 살짝 벌어지고, 입에서는 끊임없이 숨소리가 새어 나왔다.
"장원, 당신 소루와 결혼했으면서도 항상 몰래 나를 쳐다보더라고. 당신이 처형인 나에게 나쁜 생각을 품고 있다는 걸 알았어. 결국 당신 뜻대로 됐네, 음..."
천야오의 혼잣말을 들으며, 장원은 놀라 눈이 휘둥그레졌다. 그녀가 매일 자신 앞에서 긴 다리를 드러내고, 가슴도 크고 했으니, 안 볼 수가 있나? 그게 남자 아닌가? 근데 이제 와서 자신을 탓하다니...
그가 투덜거릴 틈도 없이, 천야오가 갑자기 침대에서 일어났다.
멀리서도 장원은 그 커다란 부드러움의 쌍을 볼 수 있었다. 하얀 피부 위에 당당하게 솟아있는 그것과, 붉게 빛나는 두 점은 마치 마성의 열매처럼 끝없는 매력을 발산하며, 장원은 당장 달려가 맛보고 싶은 충동을 느꼈다.
천야오는 장원이 보고 있다는 사실도 모른 채, 갑자기 몸을 돌려 침대 위에 무릎을 꿇고 둥근 엉덩이를 들어올렸다.
"정말 못됐구나, 소루가 떠나자마자 언니한테 이러다니, 그렇게 언니랑 자고 싶었어?"
천야오는 혼잣말을 하면서 아직도 진동하고 있는 그것을 가져다 댔다.
"정말 언니의 원수야, 좀 살살해, 언니 죽겠어..."
장원은 눈이 튀어나올 것 같이 보고 있었고, 머릿속에는 자신이 천야오의 뒤에 서서 공격하는 장면이 그려지기 시작했다.
하지만 바로 그때, 천야오가 갑자기 한숨을 내쉬며 진동하는 물건을 빼냈다.

“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.

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.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
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.”

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.
