For three years, Jessica endured a loveless marriage while her husband pretended to be impotent. His lies unraveled when a pregnant mistress surfaced. After six months of secretly collecting proof, Jessica threw him out and built her own billion-dollar empire. After the divorce, she transformed into an irresistible figure, attracting admirers. As she left her office one day, she met Kevan, her ex-husband's brother. He stepped in, confronting her. "Was I just a tool to you?" Jessica's lips curled into a calm smile. "How much compensation do you want?" Kevan's voice softened. "All I want is you."
"No way! You're still a virgin?"
As night settled, the music in the bar grew deafening, and a mix of smoke and alcohol permeated the dimly lit, bustling space.
Jessica Reynolds, who was intoxicated and disheartened, really should have headed home to rest. However, the image of an anonymous photo she had just received and the words of her friend Braelynn Harris echoed repeatedly in her mind. "If your husband isn't fulfilling your needs, you should leave him while you're still young. After all, why surrender yourself to total abstinence from sex?"
Throughout her three-year marriage, Jessica had repeatedly tried to spark romance with Matthew Hopkins, her husband, but he consistently brushed her off with various excuses.
Then, unexpectedly, Jessica received an anonymous text message two hours earlier. It contained a photo of Matthew sprawled naked on a vast bed!
In the photo, Matthew rested his head on shredded black stockings and a bra, his neck smeared with lipstick marks. He appeared to be deeply asleep, eyes shut.
The shock of the photo overwhelmed Jessica. She had wanted to call Matthew immediately for an explanation, but his phone was off. Love and loyalty? It seemed like a cruel joke.
Leaning against the bar in a drunken slump, the alcohol reddened Jessica's delicate features, and her wavy hair cascaded loosely around her.
Over the three years, despite Jessica's initial reservations about intimacy, she was, after all, an adult woman living daily with the man she loved. It was difficult not to harbor desires. Particularly today, finding out about Matthew's betrayal unexpectedly ignited a deep longing within her.
Staggering, Jessica went to the restroom to splash water on her face but nearly stumbled on the steps. Luckily, someone caught her just in time.
A deep, mature voice soothed her. "Be careful."
Through her tear-filled eyes, Jessica looked up at the man. He had noble, handsome features and dark, piercing eyes. He stood exceptionally tall, with her head only reaching his chest. He had an air of cool danger about him.
At that moment, Jessica made up her mind. Since Matthew had been unfaithful, there was no reason for her to remain loyal!
After mulling it over for a few seconds, Jessica leaned into the man's arms and boldly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Desperate for affection, Jessica initiated a passionate kiss as soon as they entered the room.
The man slid a strong hand under her hips, aiding Jessica as she wrapped her long, slender legs around his waist.
Noticing her slight shiver, the man chuckled and said, "Scared? Don't worry. I won't let you fall."
His build was lean, yet his arms displayed powerful muscles with prominent veins, and his shoulders were broad, radiating potent masculinity.
They exchanged a profound kiss. Their breathing mingled chaotically, the room filled with the soft, intimate sounds of their fervent embrace. They kissed with unrestrained passion.
The intensity of their sexual intercourse was nothing short of explosive.
Upon awakening, the man stood facing away from Jessica and secured a belt around his waist.
Jessica noticed she had been cleaned up, which showed his considerate side after their intimacy. Her observant eyes spotted that his belt was a limited edition Hermes, worth at least thirty thousand dollars, revealing she had been with a wealthy man the previous night.
"Well, what now?" Jessica, new to the experience of a one-night stand, was unsure what followed such a night of passion.
Turning to face Jessica, the man noticed she was awake and bare. His eyes briefly lingered on a red smear on the white sheet. "Fifty thousand. Is that sufficient?"
Jessica was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
The man had seen their fling as just that, unaware that she had been a virgin. However, her blend of innocence and wildness the previous night had genuinely impressed him. He hadn't felt this gratified in a long while and was prepared to compensate for the experience. "I mean exactly what I said. If that's not enough, I can increase it."
Jessica realized what he implied. "No need. It was mutual consent. We don't need to put a price on it." Putting a price on it would suggest she was selling herself.
Jessica faltered as she rose to get dressed, not realizing until then how sore she was from the previous night's activities, almost unable to stand.
The man quickly steadied her by her waist, reminiscing about her uninhibited spirit from the night before. Her skin was soft and smooth, and despite her lack of experience, her sounds of pleasure were particularly captivating. He offhandedly said, "Well, I am quite satisfied with you. You're plenty wild. How about we consider being friends with benefits?"
Although Jessica had a memorable first encounter with this man, she regarded him solely as a means to an end. She planted a playful kiss on his cheek. "Nah. Last night is just for fun!"
After getting back home, Jessica took a long, hot shower. The man had been quite intense. Her body was adorned with numerous hickeys and bite marks. Despite this, the encounter had left her feeling deeply satisfied and filled with a strong sense of retribution.
Matthew usually worked late, but that day he had come home early.
When Jessica emerged from the bathroom in her bathrobe, she ran into him.
The hickeys on her neck stood out starkly.
Matthew quickly stepped closer, his voice filled with urgency. "Jessica, did you cheat on me?"
People in the city released orcs that nobody wanted to the countryside, and a friend notified me to go and pick one up. When I arrived after finishing killing the last pig, there was only a small little pig that nobody wanted left. He was covered in wounds and looked at me with fear. "You don't have anyone to take care of you either? I'll take you with me," I said with compassion, holding the little pig and walking towards the pig slaughterhouse. Suddenly, my arms felt damp, and I realized that I had forgotten that he had already been bitten to death by the orcs in the city.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league.

Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
