Chapter 1
Bilik itu begitu gelap sehingga tiada secebis cahaya pun dapat menembusi batasannya.
Di atas katil besar hotel itu, lelaki tersebut berkelakuan seperti binatang buas yang telah lama menunggu, melahap hidangan di hadapannya tanpa menghiraukan sama ada wanita di bawahnya sedang mengalami ini buat pertama kali.
Grace Lewis tidak dapat menahan intensiti itu dan pengsan.
Dia terjaga semula oleh deringan telefon bimbitnya yang berterusan.
Selepas menamatkan panggilan, Grace melihat jam dan menyedari bahawa sudah pukul sepuluh pagi!
Hari ini adalah hari majlis pertunangannya.
Dan tunangnya sudah pun menipu dengan sahabat baiknya.
Mereka bahkan menelefonnya malam sebelumnya untuk membiarkan dia mendengar bunyi tidak senonoh mereka melalui telefon.
Marah dan terluka, Grace pergi ke bar dan akhirnya tidur dengan seorang lelaki kacak yang tidak dikenali.
Grace berusaha untuk bangun dari katil, merasakan kesakitan tajam dengan setiap pergerakan, bukti layanan kasar lelaki itu malam tadi. Seluruh badannya terasa sakit.
Dia perlu segera ke tempat majlis pertunangan, atau keluarga Lewis akan marah!
Sebaik sahaja dia berpakaian dan hendak keluar, Grace merasakan pergelangan tangannya digenggam. Lelaki di atas katil itu membuka matanya.
"Mahu pergi begitu cepat?" Suaranya dalam dan serak.
Dengan mata yang tajam seperti helang dan raut wajah yang halus, dia menarik perhatian Grace. Setelah diperhatikan dengan lebih dekat, dia menyedari ada sedikit persamaan antara wajah lelaki itu dan tunangnya.
Grace memaksa senyuman, berpura-pura tidak mengenali lelaki itu. Dia kemudian mengeluarkan dompetnya, mengeluarkan semua wang tunai daripadanya, dan meletakkannya di atas meja sisi katil.
"Malam tadi memang hebat. Sayang sekali saya ada majlis pertunangan yang perlu dihadiri sekarang. Jangan risau, saya akan panggil perkhidmatan awak lagi!" katanya dengan ceria, menyembunyikan perasaannya yang sebenar.
Xavier Montgomery tetap tenang; sebaliknya, dia tersenyum sinis mengawal kemarahannya.
Dia membuat panggilan telefon, dan tidak lama kemudian, setiausahanya, Mason Clark, muncul dengan pakaiannya.
Selepas mandi dan berpakaian dengan sut, Xavier memancarkan aura keanggunan yang dingin, pandangannya tajam.
Sebelum pergi, Xavier mengumpulkan wang tunai itu dan menyimpannya ke dalam begnya.
"Tuan Montgomery, majlis pertunangan anak saudara anda dengan keluarga Lewis akan bermula. Adakah anda akan pergi sekarang?" tanya setiausahanya.
"Mmhmm," Xavier mengangguk sebagai tanda setuju.
"Tuan Hastings tertanya-tanya mengapa anda tidak muncul malam tadi," Mason memberitahu.
Xavier tidak menjawab, kelihatan terleka dalam fikirannya.
Baru sahaja tiba di Skigeth, dia secara tidak dijangka dibawa ke bar oleh kawan-kawan lama yang sudah lama tidak ditemui. Dalam perjalanan, seorang gadis yang telah minum terlalu banyak alkohol melekat padanya, menyebabkan malam yang penuh dengan kebodohan.
Xavier, yang biasanya dikenali dengan kawalan diri yang kuat dan ketahanan terhadap pesona biasa, mendapati dirinya terpesona oleh wanita malam tadi, dengan haruman unik yang dibawanya yang membuatkan dia tenang, meninggalkan dia dengan rasa kasih yang berpanjangan.
Bagi Xavier, yang sering bergelut dengan masalah tidur, malam sebelumnya adalah kesempatan yang jarang untuk berehat dengan tenang.
Sementara itu... Grace menahan teksi di jalan dan memberikan nama hotel.
Sewaktu dia tiba di tempat pertunangan, hampir pukul sebelas. Dewan sudah penuh dengan tetamu.
Grace melangkah ke bilik solek, hampir tidak menyedari sekelilingnya sebelum nyaris mengelak tamparan ke wajahnya. Dengan pantas, dia menangkap pergelangan tangan penyerangnya.
"Saya tak boleh pakai solek dengan muka bengkak, boleh?" Grace membalas dengan dingin kepada lelaki yang cuba menamparnya.
Lelaki itu kebetulan adalah ayahnya, Zach Lewis.
Zach, dengan tamparannya yang gagal, semakin marah, "Kamu berani abaikan panggilan saya? Kamu memang berani! Pergi sekarang. Kalau ada apa-apa yang tak kena dengan pertunangan hari ini, kamu akan jawab dengan saya!"
Keluarga paling terkenal di Skigeth, Montgomerys, mempunyai aset yang luas dan seorang anak lelaki, Xavier, yang terkenal dengan kuasa dan pengaruhnya.
Peluang Grace untuk berkahwin dengan keluarga Montgomery bergantung pada hubungan rapat antara keluarga mereka!
Khabar angin beredar tentang kehadiran Xavier di majlis pertunangan yang akan datang, mendorong persiapan dari kedua-dua keluarga. Walaupun perkahwinan semakin hampir, tiada seorang pun dari pihak utama yang muncul, lagi.
Grace memberikan pandangan tajam kepada Zach. "Adakah Ryan sudah sampai?"
Ryan Montgomery adalah lelaki yang dia akan nikahi.
Zach terhenti, menunjukkan ketiadaan Ryan. Keluarga Montgomery sedang giat mencarinya. Memandangkan telefonnya dimatikan, ada kemungkinan besar dia merancang untuk meninggalkan Grace.
Dengan sinis, Grace merenung, "Macam mana saya nak bertunang sendiri kalau Ryan tak muncul?"
Wajah Zach berubah gelap. "Keluarga Montgomery sedang mencarinya. Pakai baju dan bersolek sekarang!"
Artis solek segera datang, cuba membantu persiapan Grace. Grace tahu dia tiada ruang untuk menolak perkahwinan yang diatur, dia memberitahu artis solek, "Saya buat sendiri."
Ibunya pernah memberitahunya ketika dia masih muda bahawa menjadi terlalu cantik boleh membawa masalah, jadi dari usia muda, Grace telah belajar untuk bersolek dengan cara yang membuatkan dia kelihatan biasa.
Artis solek mungkin akan menemui rahsia yang tersembunyi di wajahnya.
Tiba-tiba, kekecohan di pintu menarik perhatian. "Cepat. Xavier dah sampai."
Mendengar nama itu, Zach segera memegang Grace, "Xavier dah sampai. Berkelakuan baik!"
Xavier adalah nama yang Grace sangat kenali. Dia adalah anak haram yang pernah dihalau oleh keluarga Montgomery.
Namun, bekas orang buangan itu kini telah naik ke kedudukan yang menonjol, mengatasi keluarga Montgomery yang dihormati di Skigeth.

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.
