Introduction
She hasn't seen his face, not even once, because he always wears a masquerade mask when she dances in front of him. She needs to give him a good show to warm his night just by dancing.
Just watch, no touch, that's it!
Does she have the right to fight how he feels about him if their agreement ends when the woman he was supposed to marry returns?
Chapter 1
She was wearing a red bra, trying to cover the entirety of her healthy breasts. Only about half of her breasts were able to be covered by her bra. A sexy red lace panty was also the only thing she was wearing below. Her hips swayed, following the slow and sexy beat of the music. She practiced those dance moves many times. She was flirting while dancing.
In front of her was a man, sitting while watching her dance. She couldn't see what he looked like because he was wearing a masquerade mask. He always wears a sweatshirt with a large bunny print in the middle.
In terms of his physique, she estimates that the man is in his early thirties. As usual, he was motionless while watching her.
She turned her back on him. Her hands went to her back so she could unhook her bra. When it was removed, she raised one hand, holding her bra, and then waved it in the air, then threw it on the floor near her client.
She slowly faced the man while covering both her breasts with both arms. She saw his reaction. He seemed to swallow a large lump in his throat. One hand went to his chin while not taking his gaze away from her. The only thing she could see were his eyes.
Her only job is to seduce him and tease him with just dancing. She is not obliged to show her naked body, but she just needs to tickle the imagination of her one and only client. She bit her lower lip and lay down on her apparent stage while not removing her arms from her chest. She opened her thighs as she lay down, enough for him to peek a little at the gem hidden there.
The music stopped and it only means one thing. She's done for the night.
She immediately took the large piece of cloth she had prepared to cover her body after the show that was on the stage floor. She covered herself, especially her bare chest. She stopped looking at the man and went straight to the restroom inside that room. She feels very dirty every time she finishes dancing. She has been doing that for five months. She also has only one customer.
She is Samantha Custodio, twenty-four years old. She was eighteen when she worked as a waitress in a bar owned by her gay boss, Bryce, better known as Diva. He gave her a job when she and her mother left her stepfather. Her mother's partner tried to rape her, so her mother stabbed him. She doesn't know what happened to her stepfather after that night. They traveled to Manila from Olongapo. They fled their home before her mother got arrested.
Her mother used to sell comfort in Olongapo. An American customer got her mother pregnant, and she was the result. She didn't know her father because her mother had only slept with him once.
She says she looks like her father. She has a pointed nose and long eyelashes. She was always called a doll in their school before because she had a beautiful face. Her shoulder-length blonde hair is wavy; that's the natural color of her hair. Her mother stopped selling her body when she became pregnant. Her mother worked as a saleslady in a small store while she was pregnant.
She was ten years old when her mother brought a man to their house and introduced him as her stepfather. She didn't have a good feeling for the man, but she didn't say a word. The guy became a good provider for them, but he sometimes touched her arms and hands with malice. She did not tell her mother because she saw that she was very happy with him. She was the one who voluntarily avoided her stepfather so that there would be no trouble. Her stepfather paid for her education and treated her so special that her mother thought it was a father's love.
When she turned eighteen, he gave her presents almost regularly. She refused all of his gifts, and every time she does that, her stepfather gets angry.
One night, when her mother was away, the man became presumptuous. He pulled her into the bedroom when she was left alone with him. Abruptly, she kicked him in the middle of his thighs, so she was able to run to the kitchen, but he got even madder. He pulled her hair, trying to drag her back inside the room again.
Her mother caught them in such a situation. She tried to remove her partner's hand from her daughter's hair, but the man pushed her to the floor. To his surprise, her mother suddenly approached her stepfather again and stabbed the man in his belly.
Her stepfather let go of her hair and cried out in pain. She even saw blood flowing down his belly. Her mother quickly pulled her away, and they couldn't take any more belongings. Her mother just took the money from the man's wallet, and they hurriedly left their house.
They ended up in Manila with nothing but themselves. Diva saw them sitting on the bench in the park. He was a gay man who still dressed like a guy, but you could tell right away that he was not straight. They must have looked so pitiful because Diva went to them to give them food and interview them. Her mother told him the whole story.
Diva said it was a good thing that he and his boyfriend were looking for a maid, so he offered her mother to work with them. They immediately agreed, and she decided to also help her mother for free since she would also live with the gay couple together with her mother.
The couple's house was so big. Even though Diva is gay, he doesn't dress like a woman. He still looks like a guy, but his fingers are flapping. His voice is also very gentle, almost like a woman's voice.
Diva soon gave her a job as a waitress at the bar owned by his boyfriend. Many sexy dancers were dancing on the stage, and she found out that some of them were going out with the customers.
The women were not forced to go with the clients. It was their choice. Going out with the customers is no longer included in their work as bar dancers. The customers of the bar are obviously wealthy because the bar is exclusive to members who pay membership fees every year.
The couple has two maids, including her mother. She sleeps in the morning because she works at night as a waitress.
She did not expect that one day they would rush her mother to the hospital. It was a mild stroke. Diva paid for the hospital bill until her mother was released. Her mother could no longer move, so she was always in bed.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
