My best friend, Emily, and I married into the powerful Thorne family on the same day. We thought we had it all, living a dream life as two of the luckiest women in the world. That illusion shattered on a Tuesday afternoon when Emily burst into my sunroom, her face pale, shoving her phone at me. The screen showed paparazzi photos of her husband, Liam, with another woman – his "childhood sweetheart," Olivia Hayes. Before I could process Emily's fury, my own tablet lit up. A press release from my husband Ethan' s company announced Olivia as the new face of his lifestyle brand, complete with a smiling photo of her next to him. Not only was Olivia the source of my best friend's pain, but my own husband, who had been distant and forgotten our anniversary, had made her our company's public face without a word to me. All my grievances, the neglect, the loneliness-they all flooded back. He didn't even think to mention it, treating me like just another asset to manage, not a wife to love. A cold resolve settled over me. Emily, still raging about her post-divorce plans, saw the press release on my tablet. A dangerous smile spread across her face. "Well," she said, "Looks like we' re both in the market for an upgrade." "Okay," I declared, a hysterical laugh bubbling up. "I' m in. We' re getting divorced. And I' ll find male models who are better than Ethan." Our laughter, wild and unhinged, was cut short by a low, cold voice from the doorway: "Better than me?" My husband, Ethan, stood there. He must have heard everything.

Introduction

My best friend, Emily, and I married into the powerful Thorne family on the same day. We thought we had it all, living a dream life as two of the luckiest women in the world.

That illusion shattered on a Tuesday afternoon when Emily burst into my sunroom, her face pale, shoving her phone at me. The screen showed paparazzi photos of her husband, Liam, with another woman – his "childhood sweetheart," Olivia Hayes.

Before I could process Emily's fury, my own tablet lit up. A press release from my husband Ethan' s company announced Olivia as the new face of his lifestyle brand, complete with a smiling photo of her next to him. Not only was Olivia the source of my best friend's pain, but my own husband, who had been distant and forgotten our anniversary, had made her our company's public face without a word to me.

All my grievances, the neglect, the loneliness-they all flooded back. He didn't even think to mention it, treating me like just another asset to manage, not a wife to love.

A cold resolve settled over me. Emily, still raging about her post-divorce plans, saw the press release on my tablet. A dangerous smile spread across her face.

"Well," she said, "Looks like we' re both in the market for an upgrade."

"Okay," I declared, a hysterical laugh bubbling up. "I' m in. We' re getting divorced. And I' ll find male models who are better than Ethan."

Our laughter, wild and unhinged, was cut short by a low, cold voice from the doorway: "Better than me?" My husband, Ethan, stood there. He must have heard everything.

Craving Forbidden Pleasures

Short stories Lady Dreamer

Alert : Highly explicit sexual / adult Content. This is the steamiest erotic story compilation that will get you squirming on your seats and in your bed. Here's an extract from The Alpha's Betas: The Alpha was on heat and this was something she could not endure alone. So she called for her Betas. The door opened without warning. Her Betas had scented it long before she called. Kade entered first, his chest bare, scars gleaming in the torchlight. His nostrils flared, eyes black with wolf. He looked like he was barely holding back from tearing her clothes away with his teeth. Lucian followed, lean and dangerous, his silver eyes glinting with a hunger that was slower, more patient, but just as lethal. They both stopped at the threshold, drinking in the sight of her-naked, sweating, trembling, her thighs slick with need. "Alpha," Lucian murmured, his voice low, reverent, mocking all at once. "You burn." Selene bared her teeth. "Don't stand there. Come here." They obeyed instantly. Kade crossed the room in three strides, grabbing her by the waist and hauling her up against his chest. His mouth crashed onto hers, bruising, brutal, all teeth and tongue. Selene moaned into it, clawing at his back, grinding against the hard line pressing into her belly. Lucian slid in behind her, hands smooth over her hips, lips dragging across her shoulder as though marking territory with every kiss. The scent of them-sweat, musk, wolf-filled her lungs until she was dizzy. Her wolf howled inside her, demanding she take them both, make them hers in the most savage way. She shoved Kade back onto the bed, climbing astride him before he could even speak. His cock was thick, already slick at the tip, and she didn't bother with teasing. She lined herself up and sank down in one brutal motion, gasping as she stretched wide around him. Kade roared, his hands gripping her thighs, driving up into her with the force of a man starved. Lucian didn't wait. He knelt behind her, his tongue sliding along the crack of her ass, teasing, taunting. Selene's cry broke, body jerking at the double assault. Kade fucked her from below, every thrust deep and punishing, while Lucian licked and kissed her most forbidden places until she was shaking. "Take them," her wolf snarled inside her. "Take everything." She leaned forward, slamming her mouth onto Kade's again, tasting blood where his teeth had cut her lip. Behind her, Lucian's fingers pressed inside, slick and insistent, stretching her until she whimpered. The heat was unbearable, drowning, consuming. She needed more. She needed everything. "Now," she growled, breaking the kiss, her eyes blazing silver. "Both. Now." Kade's eyes widened, dark and wild. "Alpha-" "Do it," she snapped. "Obey me." Lucian's chuckle was low, wicked. "With pleasure." He rose, pressing against her from behind, the thick head of his cock nudging against her tight entrance. Selene's body screamed with need, stretching for him, demanding it. She grabbed Kade's chest, bracing herself as Lucian pushed forward, slow at first, then harder, until with a shuddering cry she took him inside. The world shattered. Two cocks filled her at once, stretching her, owning her, claiming her in a way that was savage and absolute ****** "You're mine," he whispered, his mouth tracing fire down her neck. "And I'll prove it until you can't remember what it felt like to be untouched." Her protest died in a gasp as he pushed her panties aside and slid two fingers into her in one smooth motion. Her hips bucked helplessly, clutching at him even as she whispered, "Stop, stop-" But she didn't push him away. She pulled him closer. "That's it," he said, his thumb circling her clit, his pace merciless. "Let me hear the truth." Her moans filled the room, drowning out the TV, the world beyond. The orgasm ripped through her before she was ready, leaving her sobbing into his shoulder, clinging to him as though he were the only solid thing in existence. But he wasn't done. He squeezed her throat, just enough to make her choke on her next breath. "Say it." Her body convulsed as anothher orgasm tore through her, violent and uncontrollable. The words spilled out with her scream. "I'm your slut!" His grin was feral, triumphant. "Good girl." He flipped her onto her stomach, dragging her hips up, slamming back into her soaked pussy from behind. Her face pressed into the cushions, muffling her cries as he pounded into her. "You'll never forget this," he growled, pulling her hair so her head snapped back. "Every time you sit at that desk, every time you look your coworkers in the eye, you'll remember me fucking you like this. You'll remember what you are." Her body shook with another climax, juices spilling down her thighs, soaking the couch. She sobbed into the cushions, too wrecked to resist, too consumed to deny. She couldn't deny it anymore, God help her, but she was addicted to this demon of lust of hers.
