Introduction

Melissa Moore acabou de concluir oito anos exaustivos de estudo e escrita, mas finalmente chegou ao último passo para realizar seu sonho de ser professora de Literatura Renascentista em Berkeley. Cinco dias antes de apresentar sua dissertação, Melissa decide se juntar às suas colegas de quarto para uma noite de diversão. Embora festas não sejam exatamente a praia de Melissa, com um pouco de coragem líquida, ela decide se soltar por uma noite e tem sua primeira experiência de sexo casual. Determinada a nunca mais pensar em sua noite de imprudência ou no deus do sexo que lhe deu o primeiro (e quarto) orgasmo que já teve sem seu BYOB, o destino parece ter outros planos...

Jeremy Janes foi queimado pelo amor. Recentemente traído por sua noiva, ele aceita um novo emprego como chefe do departamento de Literatura Medieval/Renascentista em Berkeley. Novo na Califórnia, depois de viver toda a sua vida em Nova York, ele decide sair para curtir a cidade antes de começar seu novo trabalho. Sem procurar um relacionamento, ele está aberto a uma noite de sexo casual. Jeremy teve muito sexo em seus 36 anos, MUITO. Mas nada jamais o abalou como sua noite com Melissa. Eles sabem que uma gravidez inesperada, um dilema não profissional (e talvez antiético) poderia arruinar o futuro de ambos. Será que um arranjo "profissional" pode levar ao amor?

Chapter 1

Melissa estava eufórica, anos de estudo e trabalho duro finalmente tinham valido a pena. Ela acabou de entregar sua dissertação, depois de 8 anos de sacrifício, ela será a Dra. Melissa Moore, PhD. Isso depois da apresentação de sua dissertação na próxima quarta-feira. Hoje era sexta-feira e ela ia comemorar! Comemorar não era algo que ela fazia com frequência, tempo livre era um sonho e viver de empréstimos estudantis não deixava muito dinheiro para festas.

Melissa entra na boate pulsante, conscientemente puxando sua saia jeans curta e justa, aparentemente, ela tinha dinheiro suficiente para comer um pouco demais desde a última vez que usou essa roupa, procurando suas colegas de quarto, Kristy e Stacey, na multidão. Não vendo nenhuma delas, Melissa se dirige ao bar para pegar uma bebida. Apertando-se onde pode, ela tenta chamar a atenção do barman. Desejando ter usado uma blusa mais decotada, bem, ela se considerava uma feminista, mas não era contra usar o que Deus lhe deu para conseguir o que queria. Na segunda tentativa, ela acena com o dinheiro no ar enquanto o barman continua a passar. Ela ouve um assobio alto à sua esquerda e olha para o troglodita que faria tal coisa dentro do lugar, pronta para lançar um olhar fulminante, quando de repente todos os pensamentos a abandonam.

Camiseta preta justa esticada sobre o que devia ser pelo menos um abdômen de tanquinho, bíceps quase estourando as costuras, os olhos de Melissa descem. Santo Deus, coxas apertadas contra o jeans preto que abraçava sua metade inferior. Definitivamente um jogador de futebol, talvez de rugby. De repente, o pigarro de uma garganta a tira de sua análise desse belo espécime. Sacudindo a cabeça, ela começa a olhar para cima apenas para sentir um hálito quente em seu ouvido, "ele está esperando seu pedido", a voz rouca e quente sussurra, enviando um arrepio pela sua espinha. Puxando a cabeça para trás, ela se depara com os olhos azuis mais profundos que já encontrou. Notando uma leve ruga ao redor daqueles poços de céu marinho, Melissa se afasta ao ouvir uma risada. "O barman, eu chamei a atenção dele para você e agora ele está esperando seu pedido."

Melissa rapidamente desvia o olhar e diz ao barman o que gostaria. "Uma Corona, hein? Eu teria apostado que você era do tipo que bebe coquetel." O estranho ao lado dela diz. Melissa, incapaz de resistir à voz hipnótica e profunda, olha para ele novamente. Corando levemente, ela não consegue evitar lembrar de sua análise anterior do corpo dele e decide que é melhor olhar apenas acima do peito. Sim, isso não funcionou como esperado, se é que o pacote é ainda mais impressionante acima do que abaixo.

Ombros largos, pescoço forte e queixo esculpido coberto por uma sombra de barba de fim de tarde, não espessa o suficiente para disfarçar aquele queixo com covinha sexy pra caramba. Subindo para as maçãs do rosto pronunciadas, aqueles olhos de quarto e uma cabeça de cabelo castanho espesso e ondulado, com mechas de vermelho e loiro. Ele está falando novamente e Melissa olha para a boca dele enquanto se esforça para ouvi-lo sobre a música e as conversas. Droga, aqueles lábios, Melissa lambe os seus enquanto se pergunta qual seria o gosto deles. É então que ela percebe o sorriso se espalhando pelo rosto dele antes de se transformar em um sorriso completo.

Sentindo seu rosto em chamas desta vez, Melissa se dá uma boa sacudida e fala por cima do ombro dele, "obrigada, mas eu poderia ter conseguido pedir minha própria bebida". Que diabos? Isso saiu muito mais rude do que pretendia, Melissa nunca fala assim com ninguém. Mas há algo nesse cara, ele a desestabilizou. Ela foi pega babando por ele, pelo amor de Deus! Que vergonha. Esperando que o chão se abrisse e a engolisse inteira, ela olha para frente enquanto o barman retorna com seu pedido. Assim que ela paga, ouve risadinhas, virando-se, encontra Kristy diretamente atrás dela.

"Oi, garota, já era hora de você aparecer," Kristy a puxa para um abraço apertado. "Stacey está guardando nossa mesa", ela olha apreciativamente para o atraente à minha direita, "a menos que você queira ficar aqui, é claro".

É isso; eu penso, ela encontrou seu admirador da noite. Com 1,75m, pernas de girafa e um busto tamanho DD, Kristy sempre consegue seu homem e um homem nunca a passa por mim, ou por qualquer outra mulher na sala. Eu olho e fico chocada ao vê-lo olhando para mim, é como se ele nem a visse ali. O que há de errado com ele? Isso simplesmente não vai funcionar para Kristy, ela respira fundo, empina ainda mais o peito, estende a mão e fala com ele, "Oi, eu sou a Kristy. E qual é o seu nome?", ela pergunta enquanto pisca os cílios para ele.

Sem prestar atenção alguma em Kristy, o estranho, ainda segurando o olhar de Melissa, responde, "Jeremy," estendendo a mão para Melissa, ele pergunta, "e quem é você?"

O que diabos está acontecendo aqui? Melissa se pergunta, isso é algum tipo de piada? Ela olha ao redor para ver se há talvez câmeras apontadas em sua direção. Nenhum homem jamais ignorou Kristy por ela. Cinco centímetros mais baixa, 9 quilos mais pesada e um busto tamanho C em um bom dia, Melissa era uma flor de parede comparada à sua amiga. Atordoada, ela simplesmente fica ali incapaz de responder.

"Esta é Melissa, ela não sai muito," Kristy ri. Melissa visivelmente se encolhe com esse comentário e aprofunda ainda mais seu tom de vermelho. Enquanto Melissa puxa seu braço, Kristy se dirige a Jeremy novamente, "venha visitar nossa mesa mais tarde se você não estiver encontrando ninguém. Estamos perto da pista de dança, do lado direito. Vou guardar uma dança para você." Ela manda um beijo para ele enquanto se viram para ir à mesa.

Com um suspiro profundo, Melissa segue Kristy até a mesa, sentindo tristeza por ter que deixar Jeremy para trás, mas mais ainda pelo fato de que eu não teria coragem de fazer nada a respeito de qualquer maneira. Um último olhar por cima do ombro e ele ainda está olhando para ela, ele sorri e ergue seu copo na direção dela. Melissa se pega quase tropeçando nos próprios pés. Malditos saltos, não tinha nada a ver com aqueles intensos olhos azuis, absolutamente nada.

"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."

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.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“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.
