*“Ladies and gentlemen, Philippine Airlines welcomes you to Alicante. The local time is 2:00 am. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate. The Captain will then turn off the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign, indicating it is safe to stand. Please use caution when opening the overhead compartments and removing items, since articles may have shifted during flight.”
“Señoras y señores, Philippine Airlines les da la bienvenida a Alicante. La hora local es las 2:00 am. Para su seguridad y la seguridad de quienes lo rodean, permanezca sentado con el cinturón de seguridad abrochado y mantenga el pasillo despejado hasta que....."
Rian was awakened from her deep sleep by the sound of the PA system signaling their landing.
"You awake?"
She turned to her side and saw Ethan sitting beside her.
Yes," she mumbled. Ethan responded with a bright smile.
"We're here," he said again. She
didn't reply and started to fix her hair.
"You've still got some drool on your right cheek, hehehe," Ethan said teasingly.
"What the heck! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Rian panicked while finding some tissues in her pocket.
Meanwhile, Ethan leaned closer to her, making her still. He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the drool from her face.
"Here you go."
Rian looked away shyly while Ethan held in his laugh.
At the airport, a man in a black suit was waiting for them.
"Good morning, Ms. Marian De Castro and Mr. Ethan Dominguez. I am sent by G&G Inc. to escort you to the hotel. Please come with me."
He then walked the two to the limousine waiting in the parking lot. He was also the one who drove the car.
During the ride, Rian asked the man for his name.
"My name's Leonardo Milady, but everyone around me calls me Leon."
"Guess I'll call you Leon too."
"Please suit yourself."
After almost an hour of driving, they reached their destination.
"You said it was a hotel; I never thought it would be a villa." Ethan chuckled.
"I am sorry for the misinformation, sir. But this villa is also used as a hotel by G&G Inc."
Oh, I see."
"This place is pretty nice, though, Rian complemented.
The said villa is located in a hilly and rural area. It is composed of a two-story house, a private pool, a beautiful lawned garden with gravel and trees, and wonderful views of the sea, the valley, the countryside, and the mountains.
"This place is really good, Ethan said while roaming in the living room.
"Yeah, it feels like we're just having a vacation, Rian beamed.
"I'm going to rest in my room first. The jet lag has started to sink in my system" , Rian said tiredly.
Ok, have a rest. Do you need meds? " Ethan asked worriedly.
"Nah, a good rest will do. You should rest; we'll be going on the battlefield tomorrow." Rian smiled mysteriously.
"A battlefield, huh? Ethan sighed as he understood what she meant.
Upon entering her room, Rian immediately headed to her bed and slumped her body on the mattress. She can't sleep because of the jet lag, but her body is dead tired. In her 23 years of existence, this was her first time boarding a plane. She wants to sleep the fatigue away, but she just can't.
Meanwhile, Ethan, who is sitting on a sofa in the living room, is carefully looking at his laptop. He's reading information about G&G Inc.'s executives and owner. Striking a deal with G&G Incorporation is a crucial step in his and Rian's plan. They may succeed tomorrow in convincing them into a partnership. It has been five years since they started this war. Ethan is thrilled to think that they've gotten this far together.
Rian's POV
I'm really tired. While lying on my back, I closed my eyes because I felt like the ceiling was spinning because of my dizziness. Ugh, I never thought jet lag could be this bad. I should shrug this jet lag off because tomorrow's event is very important. I am nervous and excited at the same time. If tomorrow's deal is a success, the war that I started five years ago will come to an end with me as the winner. I can't stop looking forward to that day. When that time comes, I'll finally be able to repay Ethan's kindness to me. But in the middle of these thoughts, I can't help but remember someone I've already chosen to forget. About someone who made me experience a different kind of happiness and pain. He was the one who made me realize that feelings should be set aside for one to achieve his or her goals. Maybe I should thank him for making me the heartless person I have become now. But I hope that I won't get to do that because that means we have seen each other again. And I pray to the Gods and to my mother's soul to not let me see him again.

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Meanwhile, Alpha Lake Rush, thirty, was the most feared Alpha in the country. Burdened by his own share of life's struggles, he had learned only to be cruel and reckless, rejecting not one but two mates. But what happens when he discovers yet another mate, and she turns out to be his stripper?
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
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.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.

Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"

I didn't tell him to stop.

I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
