Introduction

Casamento Acidental com o Senhor da Máfia
--------------------------
"Eu queria discutir o acordo entre você e seu irmão." Ele disse, deixando seus dedos roçarem a pele nua do ombro dela.

"Ok, então qual é o negócio?" Ela perguntou, dando-lhe um olhar confuso.

"Você está ciente do valor que ele deve?" Josiah perguntou.

"Ele disse que pegou cerca de dez mil. Eu consegui devolver cerca de mil por semana para o cara, então só restam cerca de quatro mil." Ela disse com um encolher de ombros.

"Sim, mas o problema é que, como ele estava sendo pago regularmente, o cara renovou o empréstimo. Seu irmão pegou mais dez mil dois dias atrás. Então agora há um total de 14 mil pendentes na dívida." Josiah disse, observando-a cuidadosamente para ver sua reação.

"Você está brincando comigo?!" Ela finalmente se virou para encará-lo, seu tom furioso.

Josiah não respondeu, apenas observou a visão dela parada na frente dele vestida com nada além de um sutiã quase transparente e uma calcinha fio dental com meias e cinta-liga. Ela estava diante dele com as mãos nos quadris, seus seios subindo e descendo com sua respiração agitada. Ele se esqueceu de si mesmo e apenas a encarou por um momento. Ela era uma mulher muito bonita, e ele não podia negar que gostava de vê-la com raiva. Por um momento, ela apenas o encarou de volta, depois pareceu se lembrar de si mesma e recuou para o outro lado da sala para tentar se recompor. Ele deixou que ela tivesse seu espaço por enquanto.

"Então, o que você quer de mim?"

"Simples, você se casa comigo, eu perdoo as dívidas do seu irmão e o impeço de fazer qualquer outra estupidez como se envolver com mais alguém," Josiah disse.

Chapter 1

Prólogo

"O que você quer dizer com 'devo para o Diabo', Roger?" Rossalyn exigiu.

"Eu peguei dinheiro emprestado para apostar no jogo, Ross. Eles estavam numa sequência de vitórias! Não tinha como perderem! Mas o quarterback se machucou no meio do jogo e bem..." Roger parou de falar, desanimado. "Ross, estou em uma enrascada séria. Não consigo pagar de volta. Eles vão me matar." Roger sussurrou.

Rossalyn olhou para seu irmão gêmeo com uma expressão horrorizada. Ela sabia que ele tinha um problema com jogos de azar, mas não tinha percebido que tinha chegado a esse ponto. "O que você quer que eu faça? Eu mal consigo pagar minhas contas com o que ganho na loja de conveniência."

"Ross, você tem que fazer alguma coisa! Por favor!" Roger estava desesperado, os olhos se enchendo de lágrimas.

"Tá bom! Vou dar um jeito. Mas você vai para a reabilitação. Juro que essa é a última vez que vou te tirar das suas burradas. Eu me recuso a acreditar que compartilhei o útero com alguém burro o suficiente para pegar dinheiro emprestado da maldita máfia!" Rossalyn estava além de exasperada. Ele estava sempre se metendo em confusão com alguém e depois implorando para ela tirá-lo do problema.

"O que você quiser! Eu te devo essa!" Roger exclamou, seu corpo inteiro relaxando de alívio. A irmã para o resgate novamente.

Rossalyn apenas balançou a cabeça e apontou para a porta do apartamento, claramente dispensando seu irmão. Só havia uma maneira de ela conseguir pagar a dívida do irmão, e isso era voltar a dançar, algo que ela jurou nunca mais fazer. Mas ela não suportava a ideia de perder Roger, por mais que ele fosse um grande incômodo na maior parte do tempo. Com um suspiro derrotado, ela pegou o telefone e ligou para o gerente do Beach Paradise, o clube onde costumava dançar, para pedir para ser colocada de volta na rotação. Ela não sabia que estava fechando o livro sobre a parte normal de sua vida.

Capítulo Um: O Encontro

Rossalyn Taylor era uma mulher leal. Se não fosse, não se encontraria na situação em que estava atualmente. Ela estava imóvel na penteadeira do camarim, olhando para si mesma no espelho. Ela odiava sua persona no palco e ter que se objetificar se despindo na frente de dezenas de pessoas. Estranhamente, porém, ela era uma das favoritas do clube. Ela ganhava alguns centenas por noite entre suas danças no palco e suas danças no colo no salão. Ela estava prestes a circular pelo salão em alguns minutos e precisava se animar para isso.

"Ei, Princesa!" Mikey, o gerente, chamou da porta, provocando vários xingamentos raivosos das outras dançarinas. Elas não gostavam nada de homens entrando em seu único refúgio no clube.

"O quê?" Ela respondeu irritada enquanto se levantava da cadeira, murmurando sob sua respiração sobre a falta de privacidade naquele maldito clube.

"Um VIP quer que você vá para a sala vermelha." Mikey disse, embora houvesse uma nota estranha em sua voz.

"Não, você sabe que eu não faço danças privadas. Mande outra pessoa." Rossalyn disse firmemente. Nenhuma quantia oferecida pelas danças privadas valia o fato de que o que realmente se esperava dessas danças era sexo, se a garota estivesse disposta a ir tão longe.

"Não tenho certeza se isso é opcional, Princesa." Mikey disse, novamente com aquele tom estranho na voz. Quase parecia arrependimento, mas do que ele estaria arrependido?

"Tudo bem, então eu vou embora. Há muitos outros clubes por aí que adorariam me ter." Ela deu de ombros e começou a se virar de volta para o camarim para se trocar.

"Eu te colocaria na lista negra." A ameaça foi dita em um tom baixo e arrependido. Ele não queria, mas se ela o pressionasse tanto, ele faria isso.

Rossalyn estremeceu como se ele a tivesse golpeado, "Você não ousaria!"

"Como eu disse, não é opcional. Esteja lá em 5 minutos." Mikey apertou o braço dela de forma apologética, depois se afastou e foi embora.

Ela o observou sair, chocada demais para se mover por alguns instantes. O que estava acontecendo para que sua recusa fosse anulada assim? Sem outra opção, ela deixou o camarim para ir encontrar o VIP.


Rossalyn abriu a porta da Sala Vermelha e entrou, apenas para ser imediatamente parada por um homem enorme em um terno preto. "Me disseram para estar aqui." Ela informou rigidamente.

"Deixe-a passar e fique do lado de fora da porta. Ninguém mais deve entrar." Uma voz profunda comandou de dentro da sala.

Sem uma palavra, o homem enorme deu a volta nela e saiu da sala, fechando a porta atrás dele. Rossalyn virou o olhar para localizar o dono da voz. Seu olhar percorreu a sala mal iluminada até o sofá vermelho com o único ocupante. Ela se enrijeceu em reconhecimento imediato e sentiu seu coração começar a acelerar. O medo se espalhou pelo seu corpo como um raio, e quase tão sutil quanto. Ela entendeu a insistência de Mikey. Ninguém, absolutamente ninguém dizia não a esse homem.

"Você sabe quem eu sou?" Josiah perguntou com um sorriso, não perdendo sua reação.

"S-sim." ela gaguejou, e mentalmente se repreendeu. Se controle, Ross.

"Bom. Eu também sei quem você é. Não há necessidade de apresentações. Venha sentar." Josiah deu um tapinha na almofada ao seu lado.

Ela obedeceu em silêncio, com medo demais para dizer qualquer coisa. Nervosa demais sobre o motivo pelo qual ele havia solicitado, na verdade exigido, sua presença de tal maneira. Ela se sentou no sofá, mantendo uma almofada entre eles. Ela ouviu ele rir e sentiu o calor subir por suas bochechas.

"A distância não te salva, você sabe." Josiah provocou e se aproximou dela no sofá. "Mas eu não esperava menos. Tenho algumas coisas que gostaria de discutir com você."

Rossalyn se mexeu desconfortavelmente quando ele se aproximou dela no sofá. O braço dele estava espalhado sobre as almofadas traseiras e apenas alguns centímetros separavam seus corpos. Ela se recusou a olhar diretamente para ele, mas ainda sabia que ele estava olhando para ela. Ela podia sentir os olhos dele queimando-a da cabeça aos pés como uma carícia física.

"O que você gostaria de discutir?" Ela perguntou, já que ele parecia estar esperando uma resposta dela.

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.

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.

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.
