On his planet, women don't choose, they're chosen. When a male claims a life partner, it is final. Permanent. Absolute. Belle, a university student, travels to this uncharted world for research.

Never needed one. Until her. But Thraxos doesn't love the way humans do. His affection is possession. His protection is control. And Belle's fire only draws him closer. Now, caught in a place where her voice means little and her body is his to claim, Belle must decide: resist the darkness, or surrender to the one male she was never meant to survive.

We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is.

A pair of sky blue eyes looked back at me. Matthew. He tapped again. I got up and pulled open my window. "What are you doing here?" I asked timidly. Even though Matthew and I were neighbors, we certainly weren't friends. "I need somewhere to stay and your house is the closest." I noticed he was sporting a fresh bruise on his cheek bone. "Don't you have a friend's house you could go to?" I asked curiously. "That's the first place he'd look." he said simply but seriously. I bit my lip unsure. "Come on, Shaina. It's one night." I finally nodded and stepped away from the window. * This story contains scenes of bullying, self-harm, drugs and abuse with some mature language. *Go check out the sequel But Why Not

"You know baby, you were right." I ignored his usual pet names. "I usually am. About what this time?" I asked him, continuing to sketch his body on the paper. "I really am lucky that you're not jail bait." "Huh? Why would you-" I was cut off by his lips capturing mine. To say I was shocked would be a lie. I was completely astonished. This cocky, arrogant bastard had just taken my first kiss. Meredith Summers has lived a very lonely life since her parents figured she was old enough to leave at home alone for long periods of time. The only one who filled the void was her best friend Kyson Maddox.

From her first meeting with Kaden, Ky's brother, Meredith has thought of him as standoffish and extremely cocky, especially for a famous world Boxer known as the Mad Ox. But what happens when Mr. Cocky himself takes a special interest with Meredith?

The only problem is, it's not for free.

As the leader of Knight Security and the handler of all four special operative teams, Hunter Hall's life revolved around bringing order to a world of chaos. After growing up in a military family, Hunter followed in his father and brother's foot steps, sharing the same passion for issuing punishment to those who brought harm to others. With a permanent scowl and hard exterior, Hunter is all work and no play, with very little patience or desire for love and nothing could change that - or so he thought.

He was supposed to be a one night stand. Obviously that didn't go to well. I told him he wasn't going to get anything more. Imagine my surprise when he turns out to be my mom's doctor who she has been trying to set me up with. I wanted a simple one night stand. Should have known that wasn't going to work. He asks for more and with a dick like that I'll give it to him. BUT THAT IS IT!! We know that's a lie too. One accident, literally, and I think I might be in love with him. But there's always problems with supposed to be one night stands... WARNING!!! VERY MATURE CONTENT --- You have been warned --- (A lot of explicit scenes) P.S. -Second Hand cringing 😬😂
