Introduktion
As Theodore's cunning plan unfolded, he found himself captivated by Alina's charm and kindness. Despite his initial intentions, he couldn't help but admire the woman he had married. But just as unexpected love began to blossom, everything crumbles with Alina’s father, who devised a cunning scheme that shattered the fragile peace in their marriage. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Theodore divorces Alina, blaming her for her father's deceit.
It's too late to realize that Alina was a mere pawn in her father's malicious game. Regret gnawed at his heart as he desperately searched for her, but she had vanished without a trace. Haunted by the memory of his cruel actions, Theodore is set to find Alina and make amends. And he will stop at nothing. How long will Alina be successful in keeping her little secret hidden?
“I’m not your wife anymore, Theodore!” I yelled, shoving him away from me. He had absolutely no right to march back into my life.
“Here’s where you are wrong Alina,” he took dangerous steps towards me until I was pushed against one of the walls, as he held me captive. “You were mine, then. You are mine now. And you, most definitely, will stay mine in the future. Not even you can separate yourself from me Alina, because you were born to be mine!” And that’s when he smashed his lips against mine in a furious kiss.
Kapitel 1
Alina's Pov
"Aren't you excited?" Millie decided to speak after observing me for a couple of minutes. She was careful in phrasing her sentence, knowing that I don't really like people disturbing me at my little corner table situated on the balcony connected to my room. I was drafting out a chapter for my upcoming book with my feet tucked under my hips, on the comfy bean bag. The evening was quiet, yet enchanting, as I took some sips from the coffee mug resting beside me on the table. My glasses were hanging a little low on my nose as I continued pressing the keys on my laptop, earning little clicking sounds.
"Excited about what?" I didn't bother looking up from the screen. Millie and I were cousins. She was the daughter of my only uncle. She was two years younger than me and I could say we were a little close. Or maybe that's what I made her believe, because I never got close to anyone. Not even family. Mom was out of the picture when she died in an accident and I was only three. After that, I was brought up by nannies and maids. Well, dad was a businessman. And his business was all that mattered to him. So losing his wife meant nothing to him, and in his race to flourish the business and become the best, he lost me as well.
"The marriage..Alina?" Millie hesitated.
"What is so exciting about it? Care to explain?" I shut the flap of my laptop to finally face her and crossed my arms over my chest. She was the only company I had, ever since I gained a sense of my surroundings. That's because uncle would leave her off at our house often to deal with business alongside dad. Aunt Benny, Millie's mother, died due to breast cancer five years ago. Since then, she's been coming a lot to me. Well, she says I'm the only other girl she knows in the family. And it wouldn't be wrong if I said the same. Because dad and uncle never let us out too much. We had to get permission to go anywhere, and that, too, only if it was utterly important. But it still didn't stop me from having my flings here and there and losing my virginity. What can we say? I was quite the rebel in my teenage years. Having a strict father only ever elevated it more. I found a thrill in going against the rules. But not anymore, when I started finding my solace in reading and writing. A temporary escape from the harsh reality of my life.
For the rest of our things, they were delivered to the doorstep, so we didn't really go shopping either. Dad was successful in flourishing his business. Well, at least way more than an average person, and it wouldn't be wrong to say he qualified on the state millionaire's list. Until recently, it all went down the drain because of a stupid decision which crippled and drowned him in debt. And now, to fix his mistake, he was using his only daughter as a pawn in his plan.
He decided to sign off a deal with his biggest business rival to bring him out of the debt.
Theodore Maxwell
One of the youngest, most eligible business tycoons to exist. Well, not all of it was his hard work. Some credit did go to his father for stabilizing his empire, but he has to be credited for giving it a push to elevate it to a level that was out of reach for any average civilian. By making him a partner, and signing 50% shares in his name, dad was going to be successful in floating back. And to top it all, Theodore called the price so low, he agreed in a heartbeat.
Marriage with me.
Yes, I was never worth anything to my father. He made it clear many times.
"I just…why don't you say no?"
"You tell me? Can I?" Welcome to the Roosevelt family, where the ladies, or even us kids, had literally no say in front of our fathers. From a very early age, all the rules were made crystal clear to us. And Lord help us, if we dare to defy them.
She sighed, knowing there was nothing that could be done. "But you can make it work out right? Your marriage. I mean, obviously, there is no love because you guys don't know each other. But it's hard not to fall in love with you once someone gets to know you. And maybe you could even have your happily ever after with him!" She was trying to cheer me up. She gave me too much credit for my beauty. I liked to think I was a little above average, but nothing close to a Victoria Secret model. She begged to differ, saying with my burgundy hair and hazel eyes, there was hardly anyone who could match my aura. As if!
"Although I'm the writer here, it seems you like to create some fantasies even I can't manage to write. Grow up, this is real life."
"Do you, Alina Roosevelt, take Theodore Maxwell as your husband?"
"I do," my words were emotionless as I stared at particularly nothing. My engagement ring and wedding dress were delivered by Theo's men yesterday. The dress was beautiful, I couldn't deny it. A long flowy mermaid gown with a deep floral neckline. But the weight it carried in this situation was choking me, almost making me feel breathless. This marriage of convenience, the facade of happiness I was forced to wear, made me feel sick.
"Do you, Theodore Maxwell, take Alina Roosevelt as your wife?"
"I do," I heard his stern yet velvety voice pierce my ears. There it goes, this emotionless, workaholic, intimidating, hulk of a robot was now my husband. One thing I knew about him: he was ruthless in the business world and never played fair. How to turn the opponent's life upside down was a skill that came naturally to him. As if he was born with it. How in the hell did I even end up being his wife?
"You may now kiss the bride." Here was the moment I was dreading. He abruptly turned me to face him and it was the first time I had been looking up at him this close. It was only now I took in his features and couldn't deny it, he was very easy on the eyes. Very pleasing, very appealing. Gray eyes that radiated confidence, his chiseled jaw carved to perfection, sharp features, everything about him screamed handsome.
He dipped his face and for a moment I thought he was going to kiss me, but I was thankful when his lips touched my cheeks, just next to my lips, and that was enough to give the impression that they in fact met my lips. The crowd was small since only close family and business friends were invited, but the cheers that erupted made me think if more people had joined. I saw dad from the corner of my eye meeting his business associates with a victory smile on his face, while Millie gave me a look of sympathy. Well there was nothing much that could be down now anyway. My life was signed away.

Miljardärens Oavsiktliga Äktenskap
Efter att ha sovit med VD:n
Styvbroderns Mörka Begär
Han gled sin hand under min klänning, fingrarna snuddade vid min hud när han grep tag i mitt lår och klämde det med tillräcklig kraft för att jag skulle känna varje uns av hans dominans.
Långsamt, medvetet, förde han sin hand uppåt, fingertopparna följde kurvan av mina trosor.
Tyget kändes ömtåligt och skört under hans beröring. Med ett bestämt ryck slet han bort dem, ljudet av rivet tyg fyllde tystnaden.
När han rev bort tyget, var mitt flämtande skarpt, ett ljud av både chock och sårbarhet som eldade på hans känsla av makt. Han log snett, njöt av kontrollen han hade över mig, av hur min kropp ryckte till vid hans beröring.
Zion
Att åtrå henne kändes som ett svek mot allt jag visste var rätt.
Att älska henne verkade trotsa alla moraliska gränser.
Hon utstrålade oskuld och verkade orörbar—för perfekt, för ren för en bristfällig man som jag.
Men jag kunde inte motstå begärets dragningskraft.
Jag tog henne, gjorde henne till min.
Tillsammans ignorerade vi varningarna, följde våra hjärtans obevekliga slag, lyckligt omedvetna om en avgörande sanning:
Kärlek var aldrig menad att vara enkel eller okomplicerad. Och en kärlek så intensiv och förtärande som vår var aldrig menad att uthärda de prövningar som väntade oss.
Söt Kärlek med Min Miljardärmake
Efter år av tystnad tillkännagav Elisa plötsligt sin comeback, vilket fick hennes fans att gråta av glädje.
Under en intervju påstod Elisa att hon var singel, vilket skapade en enorm sensation.
Fru Brown skilde sig, och nyheten sköt i höjden på trendlistorna.
Alla vet att Howard Brown är en hänsynslös strateg.
Precis när alla trodde att han skulle slita Elisa i stycken, lämnade ett nyregistrerat konto en kommentar på Elisas personliga konto: "Tangentbord eller durian, vilken vill du se ikväll?"
VILT NÖJE {korta erotiska berättelser}
En samling av korta, erotiska berättelser som kommer att hålla dig upphetsad och fascinerad.
Det är en provocerande roman som tänjer på gränserna med sina förbjudna begär och vilda, passionerade möten.
En Lektion i Magi
Tvillingarnas Förförelse (Min Miljardärschef Och Jag-serien)
Perfekt Jävel
"Stick och brinn, din jävel!" fräste jag tillbaka och försökte slita mig loss.
"Säg det!" morrade han och grep tag om min haka med ena handen.
"Tror du att jag är en slampa?"
"Så det är ett nej?"
"Dra åt helvete!"
"Bra. Det var allt jag behövde höra," sa han och drog upp min svarta topp med ena handen, blottade mina bröst och skickade en våg av adrenalin genom min kropp.
"Vad fan håller du på med?" flämtade jag medan han stirrade på mina bröst med ett nöjt leende.
Han drog ett finger över ett av märkena han lämnat precis under en av mina bröstvårtor.
Den jäveln beundrade märkena han lämnat på mig?
"Linda dina ben runt mig," beordrade han.
Han böjde sig ner tillräckligt för att ta mitt bröst i sin mun och sög hårt på en bröstvårta. Jag bet mig i underläppen för att kväva ett stön när han bet till, vilket fick mig att båga bröstet mot honom.
"Jag kommer att släppa dina händer; våga inte försöka stoppa mig."
Jävel, arrogant och fullständigt oemotståndlig, precis den typen av man Ellie svor att hon aldrig skulle bli involverad med igen. Men när hennes väns bror återvänder till staden, finner hon sig farligt nära att ge efter för sina vildaste begär.
Hon är irriterande, smart, het, fullständigt galen, och hon driver Ethan Morgan till vansinne också.
Vad som började som ett enkelt spel plågar honom nu. Han kan inte få henne ur sitt huvud, men han kommer aldrig att släppa in någon i sitt hjärta igen.
Även om de båda kämpar med all sin kraft mot denna brinnande attraktion, kommer de att kunna stå emot?
Maffians Goda Flicka
"Vad är det här?" frågade hon.
"Ett skriftligt avtal för priset på vår affär," svarade Damon. Han sa det så lugnt och likgiltigt, som om han inte köpte en flickas oskuld för en miljon dollar.
Violet svalde hårt och hennes ögon började glida över orden på pappret. Avtalet var ganska självförklarande. Det stod i princip att hon skulle gå med på att sälja sin oskuld för det nämnda priset och att deras underskrifter skulle bekräfta affären. Damon hade redan skrivit under sin del och hennes var tom.
Violet tittade upp och såg Damon räcka henne en penna. Hon hade kommit in i rummet med tanken att dra sig ur, men efter att ha läst dokumentet ändrade hon sig igen. Det var en miljon dollar. Det var mer pengar än hon någonsin skulle kunna se i sitt liv. En natt jämfört med det skulle vara obetydlig. Man skulle till och med kunna argumentera för att det var ett fynd. Så innan hon kunde ändra sig igen, tog Violet pennan från Damons hand och skrev sitt namn på den streckade linjen. Precis när klockan slog midnatt den dagen, hade Violet Rose Carvey just skrivit ett avtal med Damon Van Zandt, djävulen i egen hög person.
Omegan: Bunden till de Fyra
"Det är jag verkligen," log Alex. Nu var jag fastklämd mellan dem, mitt hjärta slog så snabbt att jag kände att jag skulle svimma.
"Lämna mig ifred!" skrek jag och försökte springa. Men jag var fångad. Innan jag hann reagera, pressade Austin sina läppar mot mina. Mitt sinne exploderade nästan. Jag hade aldrig kysst någon förut.
Jag kände Alex, som stod bakom mig, trycka sin hand under mitt bröst, kupade mitt bröst med sin stora hand medan han stönade. Jag kämpade med all min kraft.
Vad var det som hände? Varför gjorde de så här? Hatade de inte mig?
Stormi, som en gång var en omega som ingen ville ha, fann sig själv i centrum av en berättelse vävd av mångudinnan. Fyra ökända vargar, kända för sina busiga upptåg och hennes mobbare, var bestämda att bli hennes partners.
