WARNING: MATURE CONTENT INSIDE | EROTIC-ROMANCE | R-18 A decade-long revenge plan has never been this exciting. Iyon ang nasa isip ni Alexander. As soon as his enemy's daughter landed on his nest, he knew he's in for a treat. There's nothing he would love more than dragging his enemies down to the pits of hell. Gusto niyang ipatikim sa mga ito kung ano ang pait at sakit ng buhay na kinagisnan niya. He just wanted to give them a doze of their own medicine. And their sole heiress is the perfect medium to start his well-planned revenge. But she... She's different. Somewhat, she reflected his past. She reminded him of the toughest battle he had in life. Her smiles made him reminisce the bitterness he once knew but somehow erasing it permanently. As if she went down from the heavens only to take his anger and stop him from his plans. She opened his eyes to see the beauty inside of him. She cherished his flaws and wiped away the darkness inside him with her light. He dragged her to his inner desires and taught her to explore the things beyond her sensibility. He possessed every inch of her and she gladly accepted him. All of him. She, the enemy's flesh and blood, embraced him when everything about him seems so... wrong. Deception, anger, and rage- the thorns that kept on bruising the blooming love between them. Was it greater than any affection he has for her? Torn between love and vengeance, he swore to cherish every single moment of feeling and loving her warmth in his arms. He needed to feel her, love her, own her in that island with all his might, before his time runs out.

In a circle of friends where everything looks normal, Klaus and Blair act like nothing's going on between them. But when no one's around, they end up crossing the line they never talk about, slipping into secret pleasure they both pretend doesn't mean anything. Until it slowly stops obeying them until silence between them starts saying more than words ever could. And in the end, is it still just a pleasure, or was it never just that at all?

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.
