CELINE:The Sheikh Dessert Bride

* **One night of betrayal. One night of passion. A lifetime of consequences.** Celine was always the shadow-the reliable twin who worked while her sister, Celeste, basked in the spotlight. But when she finds her boyfriend of five months in her sister's bed, the shadow finally snaps. A reckless night at a dive bar with a hazel-eyed stranger was supposed to be her escape, a way to forget the people who saw her as a spare part. But the stranger wasn't just a face in the crowd. He was **Idris Al-Miraj**, the billionaire Sheikh and the owner of the very hotel where Celine works. When her parents attempt to sell her into a sacrificial marriage to save the family's reputation, Celine finds herself hunted by her past and trapped by her future. Idris doesn't just want her back in his bed; he wants to own every brick of the wall she's built around her heart. Jobless, homeless, and backed into a corner by a family that only needs her when they can use her, Celine prepares to run again. But Idris has other plans. He doesn't want her to run. He doesn't even want her to surrender. He wants her to fight back. **"Use me,"** he says. In a world where power is the only currency, Celine must decide if the man who dismantled her life is her greatest enemy-or the only weapon she has left.

Chapter 4

O'Malley's Bar was a pressure cooker at midnight-sweat-slick dancers grinding under erratic strobes, bass vibrating bones, air saturated with spilled tequila, cheap cologne, and sizzling fryer grease from the kitchen. Laughter clashed with shouts; a bachelorette party shrieked karaoke in the corner. Celine collapsed onto a scarred barstool, conquest buzzing from her shin-smashing victory over the creep. Tequila tsunami-fifteen shots? Twenty?-swirled her world into euphoric blur. Legs numb as noodles, inhibitions vaporized. Jamal's pencil-dick humiliation? Faded to punchline. Celeste's betrayal? Fuel for her throne.She fanned her neck, crop top damp against curves, jeans riding low-unaware of the spotlight she'd claimed. Until one gaze seared hotter than the rest. From the plush VIP booth shrouded in shadow, he'd tracked her all night: dance-floor domination, bar-fight glory. Now, he unfolded-six-foot-three of coiled power gliding through chaos like smoke. Idris Al-Miraj, 32, enigmatic owner of Al-Miraj Grand Palace, shedding boardroom armor for anonymous thrill after a cutthroat investor call. Black linen shirt molded to broad chest and ripped abs, sleeves rolled exposing veined forearms inked subtle; dark jeans hugged powerful thighs, boots polished lethal. Hazel eyes burned under arched brows, full lips curved knowing, trimmed beard framing a jawline sharp as obsidian. Oud-spiced cologne sliced the dive's funk.He materialized beside her, presence electric, voice a deep timbre laced with exotic lilt. "Mind if I sit?"Celine's head snapped up, drunk haze crystallizing on perfection. Holy shit-god carved from marble. Eyes that undressed, shoulders broad enough to break her fall. "Hell yeah," she slurred, patting stool sloppy. "Sit. Drink. Entertain me."Idris eased in, thigh grazing hers-spark. He nodded to Mick; scotch on rocks materialized, ice clinking seduction. Talk sparked instant: her venomous ex-roasts ("Pencil-dick clowns couldn't find the spot with GPS!"), his laughter rumbling chest-deep, vibrating her bones. "Firecracker like you," he murmured, gaze devouring lips, throat, cleavage, "belongs in spotlights, not shadows."Emboldened, she bantered-hotel hell ("Mopping suites for ghosts; owner's probably a fossil hermit"), twin treachery, eviction threats, kick triumph. Idris leaned closer, questions velvet traps: dreams stifled by grind? Passions buried? His accent wrapped words like cashmere-hints of dunes, mystery. Proximity intoxicated more than booze; knee nudged knee deliberate, fingers brushing hers on glass. Heat pooled low; her laughs turned husky, his smirks promising sin.1:27 AM. Inn alarm blared mental-pre-booked dump to dodge apartment poison. "Peacin' out," she mumbled, lurching up. Vertigo hit; Alicia swallowed by dance horde. Heels betrayed; floor, meet face.Iron arms encircled waist-Idris, steady as rock. "Steady now. I've got you." Warmth seeped through fabric, scent enveloping: spice, leather, man."Fankyou," she garbled, melting into support. He navigated exit gauntlet-dodging grabs, silencing whistles with glare. Night assaulted: cool gust whipping curls, stars spinning carousel. SUV loomed-obsidian beast, tinted void. Gentleman door-open; she tumbled in, leather cradling like throne.Purr of engine soothed as streets blurred neon streaks. "Your address?" Idris queried, one hand wheel, other relaxed potent."Neeearest inn," she yawned, eyes drooping. "Anythin' close. Nigh'..."Oblivion took; Idris stole glances, braking at Starlight Inn's garish glow-budget trap with vacancy neon sputtering. Her face transformed: tension melted, lips bee-stung parted on sighs, lashes fanning golden cheeks, curls riotous halo. Breathtaking vulnerability pierced him. Fingertip ghosted hair from forehead, tracing jaw soft. "Beautiful," he whispered husky, resolve fraying. Carrier instinct surged; he circled, lifting bridal-effortless, her body fitting puzzle-piece against chest. Head nestled crook neck, breaths feathering skin.Lobby reeked bleach/mothballs; pimpled clerk jaw-dropped at Adonis hauling drunk Venus. "Premier suite," Idris commanded crisp, slapping crisp bills-hundred overflow. "Absolute privacy. No knocks." Keyring jingled conquest; stairs conquered two-strides, her weight feather.Room 12 sanctuary: king sleigh bed drowning in starched white, AC whispering chill, motel potpourri battling faint mildew. Idris deposited her reverent-pillow fluffed under head, sheet draped modest. Shrugged jacket; exit stage left. No villain here.Delicate vise snared wrist. Celine roused, gaze foggy fire, hauling insistent. "Spend... night," slurred siren song, nails raking forearm. "Pay top dollar. Pleeease."Throat bobbed; battle internal. "Can't. Drunk haze-morning you'd curse me."Pout lethal weapon. "Regret nothin'." Giggle dissolved to growl, collar fisted, dragging down. "Just. Sex." Palms framed bearded face-electric touch-and lips pulverized his. Tequila-wild, desperate hunger.Restraint shattered. Idris groaned primal, yielding torrent. Fingers knotted curls possessive; he ravaged back, tongue breaching velvet heat, tangling duel savage. Her flavor detonated-lime-sweet, untamed need. Tongues warred slick; hands roamed ravenous: hers shredding shirt buttons, his palming waist flare to thigh.Massive 3500 words

Red Moon Novel Cover
8.1
Blood Moon – Story Description Blood Moon is a dark, thrilling tale of forbidden attraction, supernatural rivalry, and the fine line between predator and prey. Set in the seemingly ordinary Silver Hollow College, the story unfolds in a world where vampires and werewolves secretly coexist alongside humans, each hiding their true powers while battling their own instincts, rival clans, and the pressures of legacy. In this shadowed world, every glance can hide a threat, every conversation can carry hidden meaning, and every full moon can unleash the beast within. At the heart of the story are Catrine Nella, a powerful young vampire, and Edwardo Zee, a disciplined yet conflicted werewolf. Catrine is sharp, cunning, and deadly, raised under the constant pressure of her ambitious step-sister who insists she feed on human blood to grow stronger. Catrine's natural talents in both magic and combat make her a force to be reckoned with, yet she struggles with morality, identity, and her own desire for control. Edwardo, on the other hand, is torn between his instincts as a wolf and the manipulations of his ruthless step-brother, who demands that he become a killer to claim alpha status. Edwardo wants to be a true alpha, not through bloodshed, but by protecting others and leading with honor-an ambition that sets him apart from his family and makes him both a target and a misfit among his kind. The story begins with a violent, electrifying encounter between Catrine and Edwardo in the forest during the full moon. Both are drawn by their own impulses-Catrine performing a vampire ritual, Edwardo struggling to control the wolf within-and the resulting clash is fierce, brutal, and unforgettable. This first meeting ignites a dangerous rivalry, with each recognizing the other's extraordinary abilities while also sensing something forbidden and magnetic between them. Though enemies by instinct and heritage, the connection they forge amidst conflict sets the stage for a tension-filled enemies-to-lovers narrative that drives the series forward. As the story unfolds, Silver Hollow College becomes a battlefield not just of physical strength but of intellect, cunning, and emotional power. Catrine and Edwardo test one another constantly-through subtle glances in class, tense encounters in crowded hallways, and increasingly dangerous confrontations in the forest. Each battle pushes them further, revealing vulnerabilities and strengths, and slowly transforms their relationship from animosity into fascination, grudging respect, and eventually, desire. Amidst this, both characters are confronted with the pressures of their families. Catrine's step-sister threatens her with weakness if she does not feed on human blood, while Edwardo's step-brother pressures him toward ruthless dominance, creating a constant tension that challenges their morality and tests the limits of their powers. At its core, Blood Moon is a story about choice and identity. It explores the struggle between instinct and conscience, power and restraint, hatred and attraction. It examines what it means to be strong-not just physically, but emotionally and morally-in a world where strength often comes at the cost of humanity. Through fast-paced action, supernatural intrigue, and the slow-burning, dangerous pull between Catrine and Edwardo, the story blends romance, suspense, and fantasy into a gripping narrative. It is a saga of blood and moonlight, of predators and secrets, of rivalry and passion, and of two young supernatural beings whose lives are forever intertwined by fate, desire, and the power of the Blood Moon.
