Introduction

Atrapado en una situación muy difícil, John Callahan no tiene más remedio que llamar a su médico para que lo saque. Esperando al hombre canoso de sesenta años al que le falta la mitad del cabello, John se queda atónito cuando entra una sexy doctora de unos treinta años.
Belinda se queda mirando fijamente la primera emergencia que tuvo justo después de ser contratada y no esperaba lo que estaba viendo.

John Callahan, el multimillonario inaccesible, desnudo y atrapado dentro de una mujer. Era obvio lo que estaban haciendo, pero lo que sorprendió a Belinda fue cómo lograron pegarse el uno al otro mientras hacían el amor.
Con las mejillas rojas, Belinda dio órdenes a los guardias sobre cómo separar a la pareja.
Una cosa lleva a la otra y John, que nunca había tenido un orgasmo dentro de una mujer, liberó toda su semilla en el rostro de Belinda mientras ella no hacía nada más que tratar su herida.

Se produce un romance prohibido entre los dos, y de todas las mujeres del mundo, la que llama la atención de John es la que está prohibida para él.
¿Podrá convencerla de que esté con él a pesar de las consecuencias a las que se enfrentarían?
¿Tendrán un final feliz?

Chapter 1

PUNTO DE VISTA DE BELINDA

Con la velocidad de un rayo, me lancé al baño, salí seca y limpia, agarré mi camisa y pantalón de traje, me los puse mientras me secaba el cabello con el secador. No teniendo tiempo suficiente para rizarlo, simplemente apliqué una gran cantidad de crema de vainilla para el cabello y lo recogí en una cola de caballo elegante con mi lindo flequillo. Agarré mi lápiz labial y apliqué un poco de polvo.

¿Cómo pude dormir a través de diez alarmas? Sé que me sigue la mala suerte, pero esto es de otro nivel.

«Tal vez debería conseguir un altavoz. Uno de esos altavoces fuertes y conectarlo a mi teléfono», pensé y estallé en carcajadas. Probablemente sería lo suficientemente fuerte como para despertar a todos en este edificio.

Está claro que el universo no quiere que tenga un trabajo nunca, porque si no fuera así, ¿cómo demonios puedo llegar tarde a mi primera entrevista después de 18 rechazos de diferentes solicitudes de empleo?

Agarré mis tacones, me los puse y salí corriendo de mi apartamento hacia el Uber que había tenido la mitad del cerebro para pedir anoche antes de irme a dormir.

Miré mi reloj de pulsera y llegaba veinte minutos tarde. Me volví hacia el conductor y le dije que rompiera todas las malditas leyes de tráfico del estado para llevarme a mi cita en tiempo récord. Pero después de que me dijo que yo pagaría la multa o quizás la fianza, simplemente cerré la boca, tiré la llave y admití el paisaje con un corazón nervioso.

En el momento en que se detuvo en la entrada del Hospital LIFE, ni siquiera esperé a que estacionara bien el coche antes de salir corriendo y dirigirme al ascensor, llevaba treinta minutos de retraso.

Este era mi primer avance después de ser rechazada constantemente 18 veces. Es una locura lo difícil que es conseguir un trabajo como médico o enfermera. De hecho, esa fue la razón exacta por la que hice una segunda carrera en enfermería. Para poder trabajar en cualquiera de los dos. Pero en cambio, me daban una bofetada en la cara constantemente en ambos.

Mientras corría hacia el ascensor, decidí que no dejaría que nada arruinara mi entrevista hoy, pero por supuesto, lo maldije. El ascensor estaba lleno y subiendo.

—¡Maldita sea!

Fue entonces cuando me di cuenta de que ni siquiera había preguntado a la recepcionista dónde se llevaría a cabo la entrevista.

Retrocedí hasta la recepción y sonreí a la mujer con culpa.

—Estaba tratando de llamarte de vuelta —la recepcionista, que tenía 'Clara' en su placa de identificación, me sonrió. Como si yo fuera algo divertido para ella.

—Lo siento. Llego tarde a mi entrevista, eso es todo —expliqué.

—Me lo imaginaba. El departamento de recursos humanos está en el décimo piso, por cierto.

Mis ojos se abrieron de par en par—. ¿Dijiste el décimo piso?

Ella asintió y hizo clic con sus uñas perfectamente manicured en la mesa.

¿Así que voy a tener que subir las escaleras de un edificio de quince pisos solo para llegar a mi entrevista que comenzó hace aproximadamente treinta minutos en el décimo piso? ¿En el que cada piso tiene dos escaleras? Estoy condenada.

—Nunca lo voy a lograr, ¿verdad? —Incapaz de detener las palabras pesimistas de escapar de mis labios, mis hombros se hundieron.

—Estoy segura de que puedes. Mira, yo también llegué tarde a mi entrevista —sonrió—. El segundo día.

Mis ojos se abrieron de par en par y ella se rió.

—Ves, así que lo tuyo no es tan malo. No te preocupes, chica. Estoy segura de que lo harás genial.

—Gracias, Clara. Mi nombre es Belinda —extendí mi mano para un apretón y ella la tomó con una sonrisa.

—Encantada de conocerte, Belinda. No puedo esperar a tenerte con nosotros.

Fui hacia la escalera y me quité la banda del cabello antes de recogerlo en un moño desordenado, me quité los tacones y los guardé cuidadosamente en mi bolso, y comencé mi viaje hacia la sala de entrevistas de Recursos Humanos.

Para cuando llegué al piso, justo estaban llamando mi nombre y parecía que había estado nadando en el océano, con el pecho agitado como si acabara de escapar de una estampida de toros.

—¡Belinda Rogers! —una mujer llamó mi nombre de nuevo.

—A-aquí... —dije, todavía tratando de recuperar el aliento.

Ella me miró con las cejas levantadas y una expresión de disgusto.

—¿Tú eres Belinda Rogers? —preguntó.

—Sí.

—Ni siquiera te ves presentable. De todos modos, pasa —se dio la vuelta y entró.

—¡Bruja! —murmuré entre dientes y la mujer sentada a mi lado sonrió y susurró—. Eso es exactamente lo que dije.

Le sonreí agradecida. Agradecida de tener a alguien que me apoyara.

—Toma esto —me entregó una toalla de cara rosa y la mujer a su lado me dio un peine—. No te preocupes. Es nuevo, lo compré hoy.

—Gracias —tomé la toalla y el peine de ellas. Me sequé el sudor de la cara y me peiné, agradecida de que aún estuviera liso con la crema antes de usar la banda para volver a hacer la cola de caballo original.

Agarré mis zapatos, me los puse y entré. Lista para clavar la entrevista.

Pero la forma en que los jueces me miraron, disminuyó un poco mi confianza.

Definitivamente no estaban impresionados con mi aspecto sudoroso.

Respondí cada pregunta correctamente, di respuestas sensatas y me aseguré de que todo lo que dije fuera para el mejoramiento del hospital.

—¿Estarías dispuesta a trabajar horas extras si alguna vez fuera necesario?

—¿Habrá un aumento en mi salario? —pregunté.

La mujer me miró como si acabara de pedir la luna—. No... me temo que eso no será posible.

—Bien, entonces solo trabajaré las horas por las que me pagan —respondí. Después de mi trabajo como mesera en un restaurante sirviendo a gente rica horas extras sin que me pagaran y siendo despedida por mezclar un pedido, prometí nunca volver a pasar por algo tan bajo.

—Muy bien, gracias. Nos pondremos en contacto contigo.


Por supuesto, sé que nunca se pondrán en contacto conmigo, no después de mi respuesta sobre trabajar horas extras. Mi mejor amiga, Aria, estaba trabajando el turno de noche y no volvería hasta la mañana siguiente. Así que todo lo que me quedaba para consolarme eran comedias románticas y Cheetos.

A la mañana siguiente, una llamada me despertó de mi sueño.

—¿Hola? —dije, gruñona porque habían interrumpido mi sueño.

—Lo siento, soy Glenda del Hospital LIFE. Llamamos para informarte sobre tu entrevista de ayer.

Me senté de inmediato—. Sí, ¿qué pasa con ella?

—Pasaste la entrevista, pero el problema aquí es que el trabajo solo puede ser tuyo con una condición.

—¿Cuál es?

—¿Puedes separar a dos personas que han quedado pegadas con pegamento?

Ethan's fingers kept rubbing back and forth on my clitoris, while his penis kept jumping inside my body. Every joint on my body is sore and screaming for the next orgasm. All too quickly, I feel that electric tension winding tighter, a mounting pressure that threatens to shatter me. My hips lift involuntarily, urging him to continue his exploration, silently pleading for the release I’m so close to tasting.

Ethan also kept emitting deep roars in my ear, 'Damn... I'm going to cum... !!!' His impact became more intense and our bodies kept making slapping sounds.

"Please!! Ethan!!"


As the strongest female warrior in my pack, I was betrayed by those I trusted most, my sister and my best friend. I was drugged, raped, and banished from my family and my pack. I lost my wolf, my honor, and became an outcast—carrying a child I never asked for.

Six years of hard-won survival turned me into a professional fighter, fueled by rage and grief. A summons arrives from the formidable Alpha heir, Ethan, asking me to return as a wolfless combat instructor for the very pack that once banished me.

I thought I could ignore their whispers and stares, but when I see Ethan's emerald-green eyes—the same as my son’s—my world tilts.
