She turned, one last glance to see if Emma had noticed her absence-and slammed into something solid. Heat. Muscle. A heartbeat that wasn't hers.
Her breath snagged. Strong hands caught her waist before gravity could claim her. Rougher than expected. Certain in their possession.
Sandalwood. Something darker, earthier, curling around her like danger.
Her eyes lifted. Steel-gray. Ethan Blackwood. Cold, precise, yet flecks of silver sparked like lightning. One rebellious strand of black hair fell against his temple, defying the order he demanded of everything.
Their breaths mingled. Too close. Too charged.
"I-I'm sorry..." Scarlett stammered.
"Watch your way," he murmured, velvet dragged across steel. His grip lingered just long enough to brand her skin.
"How did you get in here?" he asked, voice slicing through the haze.
"I-I have an invitation." Her chin lifted.
His gaze flicked-mouth, eyes, mouth-before returning to hers. "From where-the recycling bin?"
Scarlett laughed sharp, incredulous. "Oh, I see. That's how you got in."
A flicker of something-surprise? Admiration?-crossed him, gone as fast as it came. "No one speaks to me like that."
"Maybe that's the problem," she countered, stepping closer. "Everything has a first time."
He leaned in, dangerously close, voice dropping. "Careful."
"Better you be the one," she whispered, daring, fire sparking between them.

However, his fate took an unexpected turn and entangled him in a contract marriage with her, turning the girl he despised into his temporary wife. Will their love-hate relationship lead to a deeper connection, or will it keep them forever bound by the terms of their contract? *** As I spank her, Grace questions in a surprised tone, "What was that?" "That was for leaving your husband alone in the pool," I respond in a teasing tone, seizing her waist and pulling her towards me, stealing her breath. "But, my dear husband, you're pissing me off. Just move away." She tries to break free from my grasp. "Stop moving, Mrs Grey!" "No, I won't listen to you, Mr Grey. You told me you don't want me, so why are you here again?" "I didn't say that I don't want you," I whisper, closing the distance between us, my lips nearing my angry wife's. "It means the same!" She rolls her eyes. "I want you so damn much, okay? And I'm ready to regret it again and again for doing this. Today, I'll show you how much I desire you, my wife." I confess, my fingers playing with her wet hair, and my hand still firmly gripping her waist. "So tell me. Who is stopping you, husband?"Complete

FOREVER STARTS NOW
PROLOGUE: SIX YEARS AGO The hotel bar was dim, and Emma's vision was blurry with tears and whiskey. Her wedding dress sat crumpled in a bag at her feet a dress she'd never wear. Not after finding her fiancΓ© in bed with her stepsister. "You've had enough." The voice was deep, commanding, impossibly sexy. Emma looked up at the stranger tall, dark suited, devastatingly handsome. His eyes held the same pain she felt. "Are you going to stop me?" she challenged. "No." He sat beside her, his presence overwhelming. "I'm going to join you." Three drinks later, she was in his arms. Four drinks later, they were in his suite. And when he kissed her God, when he kissed her the world disappeared. "I don't even know your name," she whispered as he carried her to the bedroom. "Does it matter?" His lips traced her neck, making her shiver. "No." She pulled him closer. "Tonight, nothing matters but this." In the darkness, they came together two broken souls seeking solace. His touch was fire. His whispers were comfort. And when he made love to her, it was with an intensity that burned away everything but pleasure. Dawn came too soon. His phone rang an emergency. While he took the call, Emma fled, leaving only a note: Thank you for making me feel beautiful. She never saw him again. Three weeks later, she discovered she was pregnant.

"Take off your clothes," he ordered in his cool, baritone voice. My robe slid off my shoulders and I stood in front of him naked and ashamed. But when his wet lips worked their way down my neck, I found myself trembling in fear and desire. *** I was 20 years old, a maid. I was given to the bloodthirsty Alpha, the cold and cruel demon that all had feared. Knowing my love for him was hopeless, I made a contract with him: he would take down my enemy in exchange for my life. On the day I got my revenge, I was ready to die, until I found out... *** "Amber, do NOT run away from me again," he commanded as he took a step forward. "Don't come any closer," I held a dagger up to my throat with one hand, and covered my abdomen with the other, my voice calm. "Or you will never meet your child."

Her Innocent Heart (Masoom Dil)
π¬ Kidnapped Romance YouTube Channel: UCb0EOwy75EU8UQVbvkI-H8A β οΈ An innocent beauty... and a famished beast. She was running. Branches slapped her cheeks, the gnarled root of an old tree suddenly caught her foot- She crashed to the forest floor with a gasp. The pain shot through her ankle like a blade, but she didn't stop. She pushed herself back up and ran again. A low-hanging branch snagged her veil-rip! Grazed her shoulder too. Still, she ran. Her breath came in broken gasps. She glanced over her shoulder. No one. Only the sound- Heavy thuds. Boots crushing dried leaves behind her. Her bare feet bled as she stepped on a brittle twig. She winced, stumbled, but didn't stop. Her heart was beating in her ears. Louder. Louder. She bit down on her lower lip, tasting blood. Suddenly- Thump! She crashed into something hard. "Ow!" she gasped and staggered back, thinking it was a tree. But it moved. A towering figure was in front. She froze. Then- "No!" she whimpered, trying to back away. Too late. A brutal tug on her hair jerked her head back. "Where to?" His voice was low and cold, his hand clenched tightly in her hair. "Leave me!" she screamed, struggling violently. He started dragging her. "Let go of me!" She fought back, landing a weak punch on his stomach. "Bitch," he spat. "Shut up before I loose all my patience with you." And then- He flung her up and threw her over his shoulder like a sack. In the moonlight, he looked some big bad Werewolf. "Put me down!" she cried, punching his back, clawing-but his skin felt like stone beneath her fingernails. He halted again. And dropped her. She hit the dry ground. Before she could crawl away, he knelt beside her- Then straddled her, his shadow engulfing hers. "No," she whispered, going deathly pale. Eyes wide. Lips trembling.

Velvet and Vices: Behind Ruby's Eyes
The chandelier above cast golden light across the marble floor, but the silence in the room was anything but warm. Ruby stood near the edge of the ballroom, her back to him, her hands clenched so tightly at her sides that her knuckles blanched. The satin of her gown shimmered, but her presence outshone even that. "Say something," Xavier said. "I don't owe you words," she shot back, still facing the window, watching the city she had once fought so hard to rise in now swallow her whole. He exhaled slowly. "You can hate me, Ruby. But you walked into this marriage knowing what it was." She finally turned, and for a split second, he saw the girl underneath the courtroom victories and cold indifference. The girl who had buried a mother and renamed herself to survive. "I walked in to protect the only piece of my mother I had left," she said. "And you-you walked in to make your father shut up." "That's not fair." "No. But neither is love born in contracts." Their eyes locked, fire against ice. Neither blinked. Neither breathed. And yet, in that moment-amid family legacies, billion-dollar deals, and a city that never sleeps-two broken souls stood in a stillness that felt like destiny. He stepped closer. She didn't move. Outside, the snow began to fall. --- Ruby Sanders isn't just a woman with a courtroom reputation-she's a name carved in grief, ambition, and secrets. Forced into a strategic marriage with Xavier White, the enigmatic heir to an old money empire, she's determined to keep her walls high and her past buried. But Xavier isn't just a pretty face with a billion-dollar mind-he's chaos in a tailored suit, and he's about to unravel everything she thought she'd buried. In a world of lies, legacy, and betrayal, can two people forced together by the past to survive long enough to rewrite their future? This isn't just a love story. It's a reckoning.
