Chapter 1

Di dalam tab mandi, tubuh Lauren Walker yang anggun hampir tidak kelihatan melalui wap panas.

Kulitnya yang halus penuh dengan lebam merah dan ungu.

Lauren berbaring dengan mata tertutup, seolah-olah dia sedang tidur.

Dia telah menghabiskan dua tahun bersendirian di rumah kosong.

Dari harapan awal hingga kekecewaan sekarang, dia telah merasai setiap kepahitan dan ketidakpuasan.

Dia fikir dia tidak akan mencintai lelaki itu lagi, tetapi kenyataan telah memberinya tamparan yang menyakitkan.

"Puan Walker, Puan Jessica Robinson menelefon dan meminta anda pulang untuk makan malam." Peter Robinson, butler, mengetuk pintu bilik mandi, menarik Lauren kembali ke realiti.

"Baiklah, saya akan datang sebentar lagi," jawab Lauren.

Dia bangun, mengeringkan dirinya, dan kemudian pergi ke meja solek untuk menutup tanda-tanda di tubuhnya dengan concealer. Selepas bersiap, dia menuju ke Estet Robinson.

Kesihatan Jessica Robinson tidak begitu baik.

Lima tahun lalu, Jessica mengalami serangan jantung di lapangan terbang. Walaupun ramai orang di sekeliling, hanya Lauren yang membantu.

Lauren membawa Jessica ke hospital dan hanya meninggalkannya selepas dia stabil.

Sejak itu, Jessica melayan Lauren seperti cucunya sendiri.

Malah perkahwinan Lauren dengan Quentin Robinson diatur oleh Jessica.

Baru-baru ini, Jessica menjalani pemeriksaan susulan di hospital, dan keputusannya tidak baik.

Lauren ingin tinggal di Estet Robinson untuk menjaga Jessica, tetapi Jessica memujuknya untuk pulang, mengatakan dia ingin melihat Lauren dan anak Quentin dilahirkan.

Tanpa pilihan lain, Lauren melaksanakan rancangannya malam tadi. Dia memberi ubat kepada Quentin dan memaksakan dirinya ke atasnya.

Apabila kereta tiba di Estet Robinson, Jessica berdiri di pintu, tersenyum, disokong oleh butler.

"Nenek, kenapa nenek berdiri di pintu? Hati-hati jangan sampai demam dengan angin malam." Lauren membantu Jessica masuk ke dalam rumah.

Selama bertahun-tahun, Jessica telah menjaganya dengan teliti, dan Lauren sudah lama menganggap Jessica sebagai neneknya sendiri.

"Saya hanya berdiri sekejap. Saya baik-baik saja. Saya hanya ingin melihat kamu lebih cepat," kata Jessica, memegang tangan Lauren erat.

Daripada semua orang muda yang dia temui selama bertahun-tahun, Lauren adalah yang benar-benar Jessica suka. Dia berhati baik dan membantu orang lain tanpa mengharapkan balasan.

Apabila Jessica pertama kali mengetahui bahawa Lauren menyukai Quentin, dia sangat gembira, memikirkan ia adalah padanan yang baik.

Tetapi dia tidak menjangka cucunya yang tidak tahu berterima kasih, Quentin, tidak menyedari kebaikan Lauren.

"Kalau nenek tak kisah, saya akan datang makan malam dengan nenek setiap hari mulai sekarang," kata Lauren.

Lauren menarik kerusi untuk Jessica, tetapi kemudian dia perasan tiga set alat makan di meja makan.

"Nenek, adakah nenek jemput orang lain?" tanya Lauren, keliru.

Jessica memandangnya dengan penuh makna, senyuman bermain di bibirnya.

Hati Lauren berdebar. Fikiran yang tidak masuk akal melintas di fikirannya. Tak mungkin, kan? Tak mungkin kebetulan begitu, kan?

"Nenek, saya baru teringat ada urusan penting. Saya pergi dulu," kata Lauren, hampir melarikan diri.

Tetapi dia tidak menjangka bertembung dengan Quentin sebaik sahaja dia melangkah ke halaman.

Quentin berpakaian sut hitam yang tajam, dengan cermin mata berbingkai emas di hidungnya, kelihatan seperti baru pulang dari mesyuarat syarikat.

Dia menarik tali lehernya, epal Adaminya bergerak, entah kenapa kelihatan menarik.

Lauren tidak dapat menahan diri daripada mengingat kembali adegan panas malam tadi.

Di dalam suite hotel, Quentin telah menekannya ke pintu, mencium lehernya dengan ghairah, tangannya merayap di seluruh tubuhnya, membuka zip gaunnya.

Lauren merasakan kesejukan di dadanya, dan sebelum dia sempat terkejut, bibir hangat Quentin sudah berada di atasnya.

Rasa basah dan panas itu membuatkan dia mengerang tanpa sedar.

"Rasa sedap sangat ke? Ada lagi yang akan datang," suara serak Quentin kedengaran di dadanya.

"Betul ke?" Suara Lauren menggoda, membakar lagi keinginan Quentin.

Dia mengangkat Lauren dan melemparkannya ke atas katil, merobek gaun dan pakaian dalamnya, kemudian menundukkan kepalanya di antara kakinya.

Lauren tidak pernah merasakan apa-apa seperti itu, sensasi berdenyut yang membuatkannya inginkan lebih.

Quentin menggodanya beberapa kali lagi, kemudian memandangnya, matanya penuh nafsu.

Kulit halus Lauren memerah, dan Quentin tidak dapat menahan diri daripada menyelusup masuk dengan penuh semangat.

Dia membawanya ke puncak berkali-kali, membuatkannya menikmati kenikmatan yang tidak pernah dirasainya.

Selepas beberapa kali klimaks, suara Lauren menjadi serak ketika dia cuba menolaknya.

Tetapi tubuhnya yang keletihan tidak mempunyai kekuatan lagi, dan bagi Quentin, matanya yang separuh terpejam kelihatan seperti mengajaknya untuk lebih lagi.

Akhirnya, Lauren tidak tahu bagaimana dia tertidur, atau lebih tepat lagi, bagaimana dia pengsan.

Mengenangkan malam tadi, wajah Lauren semakin merah.

"Lauren?" Quentin berjalan mendekatinya. "Atau patut saya panggil, Puan Robinson?"

Dia bercakap dengan senyuman sinis, matanya berkilauan dengan ejekan.

Wanita yang telah memberinya ubat malam tadi adalah isterinya yang sah.

"Encik Robinson." Lauren berkata dengan kekok, memaksa senyuman. "Saya ada urusan, jadi saya akan pergi sekarang. Selamat tinggal, Encik Robinson."

Dia cuba melarikan diri, tetapi Quentin menangkap pergelangan tangannya.

'Habis lah,' Lauren berfikir, menutup matanya dengan putus asa.

"Apa yang awak fikirkan? Kenapa muka awak merah sangat? Masih menikmati malam tadi?" Quentin memandangnya, mukanya yang memerah mengingatkannya pada malam tadi.

"Berhenti cakap mengarut!" Lauren melirik sekeliling dengan cemas, takut ada yang mendengar mereka.

Quentin menyeringai, mendapati dia berbeza daripada yang dibayangkannya.

Sejam kemudian, pemandangan malam di luar tingkap kereta terus berubah, dan kereta itu luar biasa sunyi, hanya terdengar suara nafas mereka.

Lauren memandang Quentin yang duduk di sebelahnya melalui tingkap.

Dia masih dalam keadaan bingung. Bagaimana mereka boleh pulang bersama? Bagaimana dia boleh masuk ke dalam keretanya?

"Apa? Tak sangka saya nak pergi jumpa Nenek?" Quentin telah perasan pandangan Lauren sejak awal.

Lauren terkejut, tidak bersedia, merasa sedikit malu. Dia memaksa senyuman dan duduk tegak.

Sudah tentu tidak!

Lagipun, dia baru sahaja melakukan itu untuk menggoda Quentin malam tadi, memikirkan yang Quentin jarang pulang ke rumah.

Dalam dua tahun yang lalu, dia tidak pernah melihat Quentin sekali pun.

"Takut ke? Puan Robinson, bukankah dah terlambat untuk takut sekarang?" Quentin melihat kepalanya hampir tertunduk ke dadanya dan tidak dapat menahan diri daripada bercakap.

Dia benar-benar tidak menyangka Lauren, yang kelihatan begitu diam dan lembut, akan memberinya "kejutan" seperti itu.

Mengenangkan semangat Lauren malam tadi dan kepergiannya yang bebas pagi ini, hatinya menjadi gelap.

"Macam mana saya boleh takut? Saya cuma gembira," Lauren menarik nafas panjang, berpaling kepada Quentin, dan memberinya senyuman manis.

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

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.

Well, here goes everything.

"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven.

Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.

He belongs to her. And she’ll kill anyone who tries to take him away.
