Forty and Starving

Lily’s pov

I woke to the solid warmth of Jay’s chest under my cheek and the slow rise and fall of his breathing. Morning light filtered through the hotel curtains across the bed. My body still carried the pleasant ache of everything we had done the night before. For the first time in days the constant pressure in my chest had eased.

I stayed still, listening to his heartbeat, and let the decision settle fully into place. I was not going back. Mark had already chosen someone e

  • House Of Lust & Moonlight   House of Lust & Moonlight: (Story7/The Alpha’s Private Surrogate)

    Chapter 1: The ContractRosalith Cosmo~The elevator rose too smoothly. No rattle, no lag, just a silent climb that made my stomach tighten. I stared at my reflection in the mirrored wall—- dark curls tumbling over one shoulder, the silver-white section framing the other side of my face, the uneven patches of lighter skin across my cheeks and collarbone that no amount of concealer could fully hide. My heterochromatic eyes stared back: one green, one blue. I looked like someone who had already lost everything and was about to sign away whatever was left.I had worn the only decent dress I still owned. Black, simple, long sleeves. It covered most of the marks Finn’s rejection had left on my pride, if not on my skin. The folder under my arm held medical records, blood work, and the desperate paperwork that proved I was clean, fertile, and most importantly— a virgin. The agency had already screened me. This meeting was the final gate.The doors opened onto a floor that smelled of money. D

    Forty and StarvingLily’s povI woke to the solid warmth of Jay’s chest under my cheek and the slow rise and fall of his breathing. Morning light filtered through the hotel curtains across the bed. My body still carried the pleasant ache of everything we had done the night before. For the first time in days the constant pressure in my chest had eased.I stayed still, listening to his heartbeat, and let the decision settle fully into place. I was not going back. Mark had already chosen someone else and a future that did not include me. The package of evidence had only forced me to see what I had been refusing to admit. Last night with Jay had not been a mistake or a rebound, it had been the first honest thing I had felt in a long time.I shifted carefully, and his arm tightened around me. His eyes opened, still heavy with sleep, and focused on my face.“You’re thinking hard,” he said.“I’m done thinking.” I sat up, pulling the sheet around me. “I’m not going back to him. The marriage i

  • House Of Lust & Moonlight   Chapter 7: The Breaking Point 2

    Forty and StarvingLily’s povJay’s hands worked the drawstring of my pants. They slid down my legs along with my underwear. I stepped out of them, naked now while he was still fully dressed. The contrast made my pulse race. He stepped back just enough to look at me, eyes dark, breathing uneven.He dropped to his knees, parting my thighs with his strong hands. Then his mouth was on me. He licked a long, slow stripe up my center, then focused on my clit, circling it with the flat of his tongue before sucking it between his lips. I could see the hunger in his eyes as he lifted my folds.He fucked my entrance with his tongue before sliding two fingers into me, curling, stroking that sensitive place that made my knees buckle. I cried out, fingers threading into his short hair, holding him there. He worked me with focused hunger, tongue and fingers in perfect rhythm, until my legs shook. My hips moved as I rocked his face without control, my fingers found my clit, stroking it harder. His

  • House Of Lust & Moonlight   Chapter 6: The Breaking Point

    Forty and StarvingLily’s povTwo full days had passed since I left the house with one suitcase and the USB still roaming in my memory. The hotel room felt larger than it should have, the bed too wide, the silence heavier than any argument. I spent most of the time curled against the headboard in soft pants and an old sweater, staring at the city lights that blurred through the glass. Forgiveness sat like a stone in my chest, because returning home felt like choosing the same lie again. Staying alone felt like drowning in the quiet that followed every betrayal.I had not answered Mark’s calls. The phone stayed face-down on the nightstand, its occasional buzz a reminder I refused to touch.Late on the second afternoon the hotel phone rang. I answered on the third ring, expecting a routine message about towels or room service.“Dr. Lancaster? There’s a gentleman in the lobby asking for you. He gave the name Alpha Jay Sherwood. Shall I send him up?”My pulse jumped so hard I felt it in m

  • House Of Lust & Moonlight   Chapter 5: Shattered Illusions

    Forty and StarvingLily’s povThree days had passed since that phone call on my drive home. Three days of Mark treating me like I mattered again. Mornings where he pulled me close before work, evenings where we lingered over dinner and talked about dreams we had set aside. The intimacy between us felt alive once more. I woke each day with a quiet joy I had almost forgotten existed. The constant ache that had haunted me was gone, replaced by a warm contentment. My husband had come back to me, and I believed we were rebuilding something stronger.That afternoon I hummed softly in the kitchen, chopping vegetables for the stir-fry I planned to make. Mark had texted earlier saying he would be late from a meeting but promised to bring dessert. I smiled at my phone, heart light. Life finally felt balanced. My work at the clinic flowed smoothly, and at home I no longer carried that heavy loneliness.The doorbell rang, pulling me from my thoughts. I wiped my hands on a towel and walked to the

  • House Of Lust & Moonlight   Chapter 4: Rekindled Flames

    Forty and StarvingLily’s povReturning home, I turned the key in the lock and stepped inside, expecting the usual quiet house and the faint glow of Mark’s laptop in the study. Instead, warm light spilled from the dining room, carrying the rich aroma of garlic, herbs, and simmering tomato sauce. My steps slowed. Mark appeared in the hallway, wiping his hands on a dish towel, wearing a soft smile I hadn’t seen in months.“Welcome home,” he said, stepping forward to take my bag. He pulled me into a hug, arms wrapping around me with a firmness that felt new. “I know I’ve been distant. Work has been eating me alive, but that’s no excuse. Tonight is just for us.”I breathed in the scent of his cologne mixed with cooking spices. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. “This is… unexpected.”He smiled and led me to the table where candles flickered and two glasses of red wine waited. We ate slowly while I shot him surprise glances. The pasta was perfectly seasoned, the wine rich on my tongu

    Seducing the AlphaAzalea~The Velvet Eclipse Club was buried deep in the mountain side, a den of red lights, heavy bass, and crazy wolves who came here to hunt or be hunted. I stepped inside feeling like both prey and predator, my heart racing faster, but I held still.The short black dress I wor

    Seducing the AlphaAzalea~I woke up with my cheek stuck to the cold leather of the small couch in the secretary’s antechamber, the torn dress from last night still damp and clinging to my skin like a punishment I couldn’t escape.My body hurt in ways I didn’t want to name. A deep, throbbing ache

    Seducing the AlphaRoman~The heavy door to my penthouse at the top of Thorin Tower slammed shut with a sound that echoed through the empty space like a gunshot. I didn’t turn on the lights. I didn’t need them. The storm outside provided enough through the windows. Flashes of lightning illuminate
