Thorn In My Side (Assassinos Podem Amar Livro 3)
Queen-of-Sarcasm-18
Introduction
Novo nome, novo visual, nova vida. Tenho sido cuidadosa para manter meu passado à distância. A última coisa que eu precisava era que o estranho com aqueles olhos calmos e perspicazes cruzasse meu caminho. Preciso evitá-lo a todo custo, mesmo que ele assombre meus sonhos e envie ondas de calor pela minha pele. Meu foco é a sobrevivência, não o desejo. Nem mesmo se ele despertou um anseio que eu nunca pensei ser possível.
*~Draven~*
Uma missão. Encontrar as garotas desaparecidas e levar o culpado à justiça. Do tipo retributiva. Estou acostumado às sombras, mas sou atraído pela luz dela. Mariposa para a chama, a única maneira de saciar minha curiosidade é satisfazê-la. Mas não demais. Não completamente.
TEASER:
"Você me quer, não quer?" Uma pergunta simples que merecia uma resposta simples.
"Deveria ter mandado verificar se você sofreu uma lesão na cabeça?" ele zombou, um golpe rápido que tirou o ar dos meus pulmões e percebi que estava prendendo a respiração. Meus lábios se abriram e meu peito arfou, trabalhando dobrado para repor o oxigênio do meu corpo após aqueles poucos momentos de privação.
Endurecendo minha postura, dei um passo à frente, invadindo seu espaço, alheia aos olhares que nos lançavam. Ou será que eu estava imaginando isso? Draven não se mexeu, uma sobrancelha perfeitamente arqueada se elevou enquanto ele considerava meu movimento com pouco interesse. Não houve um único lampejo de emoção em suas feições, nem mesmo aquele maldito sorriso enganador apareceu.
"Então você não tem motivo para ameaçar qualquer homem que eu possa achar interessante." Sussurrei as palavras lentamente, de forma erótica.

Chapter 1
"Posso contar com você para se comportar?" Seus poros se arrepiaram quando os dedos dele roçaram a nuca dela enquanto ele juntava seu cabelo para prendê-lo em um coque bagunçado.
"Sim, pai." Ela se olhou no reflexo proporcionado pelo espelho oval à sua frente. Mal conseguia se reconhecer nos últimos meses. Ele a vestiu com uma camisola longa, tradicional e modesta. A maioria dos homens neste mundo preferia a inocência e juventude de uma mulher, o que a tornava seu alvo favorito.
"Escolha sábia," ele deu um passo para trás para admirar seu trabalho. "quanto mais complacente você for, menos hematomas terá," ela sabia que ele estava se referindo ao arranhão que descia pelo lado do seu rosto, já em processo de cicatrização, mas não tinha certeza se desapareceria completamente.
"Sim," ela respondeu, relaxando a mandíbula por um breve momento para pronunciar a palavra.
"Randall gosta de brincar com facas, mas ele promete não marcar sua pele," ele estava a instruindo sobre a preferência do homem, e seu estômago revirou. Como sempre acontecia. "ele pode apenas exibir a faca para se animar, então não precisa se preocupar, em vez disso, finja que isso te excita," ele estava verificando o celular enquanto falava, sem dar chance para ela responder, ele continuou, "ele está aqui. Vou levá-lo até você," seu pai deu uma última olhada para garantir que ela estava perfeita, e estava.
Lábios perfeitamente moldados e carnudos, cobertos com um tom assassino de vermelho. Seu cabelo escuro e selvagem preso de forma sedutora na cabeça e, o melhor de tudo, seus olhos ardentes e resilientes estavam dóceis.
A porta se fechou atrás dela e tudo o que ela podia fazer era praticar seu sorriso no espelho enquanto lutava contra aquelas malditas lágrimas que vinham surgindo ultimamente. "Se controle," ela se repreendeu, "vai acabar logo se você entrar no jogo, se você o entediar," ela se lembrou, justo quando a porta se abriu.
Olhando para a entrada no reflexo do espelho, ela viu Randall. Seus ombros largos estavam prestes a estourar a camisa. Um homem tão jovem e bonito, ela pensou. Por que ele precisaria dela?
"Posso ver que você estava me esperando," seus olhos não deixaram o corpo dela enquanto ele fechava a porta atrás deles.
"Sou tão óbvia assim?" ela forçou um sorriso largo enquanto se virava, apoiando-se na penteadeira até conseguir acalmar os nervos.
Ignorando o fato de que ela havia falado, Randall fechou a distância, pulando sobre ela e girando-a de volta, sacudindo a penteadeira e seus conteúdos. O tilintar de frascos de perfume, itens de cuidados com a pele e outras coisas ecoou no ar e ela se concentrou nisso.
Era melhor do que se concentrar em Randall apertando sua bunda e trazendo-a de volta para pressionar seu pênis ereto contra ela. Suas mãos agarrando seus quadris e esfregando-se nela, "Meu Deus," ele gemeu, seu pênis pressionando-a por trás. Suas mãos se moveram dos quadris, buscando seus seios.
Ele apertou os montes cheios dolorosamente e ela gemeu. Sua angústia o excitou e seu aperto se intensificou enquanto ele continuava a balançar os quadris atrás dela. Ela estava presa. Enredada e não tinha escolha a não ser permitir. Suas mãos se apoiaram na penteadeira enquanto ele continuava seu ataque.
"Posso sentir seus mamilos endurecendo através desse tecido fino," ele sussurrou em seu ouvido.
"Então não preciso explicar minha excitação," ela estremeceu enquanto a mentira saía, certa de que ele interpretava sua falta de ar como interesse.
"Não, você não precisa," ele a soltou, dando um passo para trás enquanto ela se virava para encará-lo novamente. "Acho que não vou terminar com você tão cedo quanto imaginei," ele sorriu e o sangue dela gelou. "Mas você vai gostar disso, não vai?" ele provocou, seus olhos se tornando monstruosos.
"Vou gostar de tudo o que você quiser fazer comigo," ela tomou a iniciativa de avançar. Quanto menos tempo passasse falando, menos tempo ela passaria na presença dele. "O que você deseja fazer?" ela caminhou até a cama, sentando-se na beirada enquanto o observava expectante.
"Você vai descobrir em breve," ele alcançou a costura de suas calças para pegar uma faca. Estava embainhada em couro, mas o rosto dela empalideceu. "Não vá chorando para o papai agora, porque estou pagando muito dinheiro para te foder," a lâmina brilhou enquanto ele desembainhava a faca, seus olhos fixos nela. "do jeito que eu quiser."
Ele avançou, "De joelhos," ele segurou a faca sob a garganta dela. "Estou entediado com o ato de garota complacente," ele manteve a faca firme enquanto ela deslizava da cama, caindo de joelhos.
"Me faça gozar em menos de um minuto e eu não vou rasgar esses seus seios bonitos," ele segurou a faca ao lado do pescoço dela, "para cada minuto que você falhar..." sua voz sumiu e ele riu. "Entendeu?"
Ela assentiu e começou a desabotoar e deszipar as calças dele, puxando o cós para baixo dos joelhos. Seu membro feio a encarava e tudo o que ela conseguia pensar era que nem era o maior que ela já tinha visto. Estendendo a mão, ela cobriu a carne com uma mão, movendo para cima e para baixo. A cabeça de Randall caiu para trás, inclinando-se para frente, ela cuspiu, cobrindo-o com sua saliva. Ele gemeu.
Um brilho chamou sua atenção e ela percebeu que o aperto dele na faca havia afrouxado. Como se uma nova consciência a tivesse atingido, ela cobriu o pênis dele com a boca, forçando os olhos para ver a faca pendendo dos dedos dele, quase como se estivesse por um fio.
Seu coração batia forte contra o peito. Era fazer ou morrer. Essas eram suas únicas duas opções se ela quisesse seguir as vozes gritantes em sua cabeça.
Antes que percebesse, ela mordeu o pênis dele, por um momento ele ficou em silêncio. Líquido, enferrujado e quente encheu sua boca. Então vieram os gritos, ele lutou para se soltar da boca dela, mas ela segurou com tudo o que tinha.
Soltando quando ouviu a faca cair no chão. Randall se afastou, perdendo o equilíbrio. Ela se lançou, pegando a faca antes de pular sobre ele, seu corpo escorregadio de sangue, sua camisola como uma segunda pele. Ela cortou a faca no lado do pescoço dele. Seus gritos se apagaram.
Sua adrenalina acabou, sua força vacilando depois de recuperar a faca, sabendo que não seria capaz de esfaqueá-lo novamente. Mas uma vez foi suficiente. Sangue jorrou por toda parte, e ele tentou cobrir o ferimento. Sangue se acumulou em sua garganta e boca e logo ele estava se afogando nele.
Ela observou enquanto as luzes se apagavam nos olhos dele. Seu coração se recusava a se acalmar. Havia um silêncio assustador envolvendo o quarto enquanto ela se balançava sobre os calcanhares, olhando para o homem. Não tão imponente mais, ela percebeu, e havia um senso perverso de satisfação se enrolando em seu ventre.
Ele nunca mais a tocaria. Nenhum deles tocaria.
Vasculhando os bolsos dele, ela puxou a carteira, amassando o dinheiro nas palmas das mãos e então começou a trocar de roupa. Pegando algumas peças e enfiando-as em uma bolsa, ela decidiu partir. Era isso ou um destino pior que a morte.

From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.

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.

Accidentally Yours
Lola Marlowe’s morning-after is a disaster. She’s got a killer hangover, zero memory of Burning Man, and a half-naked, sculpted stranger tied to her bed with her own lavender silk ropes. To make matters infinitely worse, the furious (and frustratingly handsome) “accidental hostage” is Enzo Marchesi, Vegas’s most notorious mafia Don.
For Enzo, this is the ultimate security breach. But the fiery, unpredictable tattoo artist is the most intriguing thing to happen to him in years. To stop his crew from “neutralizing” the threat, he makes an impulsive claim: she’s his fiancée.
Thrust into a world of high-stakes lies and feral attraction, they must navigate rival families and their own explosive chemistry.
One wrong move sparked it. Now neither of them wants out.
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.

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.

He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"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.
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“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.
