Emerson stops the car at our usual spot and I turn to my side, watching him as he unfastens his seatbelt before he twists his body to my view.
"Had fun?" He glimpses at the books that are in the backseat and my eyes follow his before I meet his gaze and smile, "I did. " We spent hours at the bookstore and more than half of the time was me and Emerson arguing, him distracting me by saying something naughty and leaving me a mindless idiot in front of him, or him promising he has a copy of the book I picked. It was chaotic, it was wild and it was fun: a combination that I can find with Emerson Ford and Emerson Ford only.
"Want to go back to my place to read some of these?" Emerson's questions pull me back to the view that's in front of me, and I stare at him, waiting for him to break into a laugh, but he doesn't. He keeps the straight face on as he awaits my response and I point a finger at him, then

EVA.My heart is racing in my chest as I turn around to see my mother standing by my door with suspicion clear in her eyes."Mom! What are you doing up here?" I greet in a high pitched tone as I pray Emerson is down to the yard before I move away from the window."I heard voices, Eva. Who was in here with you?" Mom ignores my question to throw hers at me and my throat suddenly closes up at the fact that she caught me red-handed. Not exactly red-handed, but she heard voices and she saw me by the window."Um, I..." I struggle to find my words and mom makes her way inside, shutting the door behind her as she strides toward me."There was no one—" she doesn't listen to me as she peeks behind me to the window before she side steps me and I bite down on my tongue, tension floating around me.I turn my body in her direction

EVA.I cover the pot after adding the sauce to the pasta before I press my hands to the edge of the counter with a fall of my chest.I steady my feet at the sound of footsteps, and then Emerson is behind me. "Hey, " he whispers as he buries his face in my neck, his breath fanning the skin."I thought you weren't going to cook?" He queries as he turns me around to meet his view and I say, "You went to take a call, and you said to look after it. I couldn't exactly sit and watch. "He smiles and brushes his lips against my nose. "My good girl. "I drop my eyes from him to his pocket where I'm sure his phone lies before I look back at his face. "Only sometimes. ""I love both sides, " he nudges my nose with his finger before he lifts me in his arms and walks forward to drop me back on the counter."I'll take it from he

EVA. "Hey, you're back. " Emerson is sitting on my bed when I walk inside and I close the door behind me before I turn to quirk a brow at him. "How did you get in here?" "It was open. " He responds as he gets off the bed and stalks towards me. He stops only a few steps from me before he opens his mouth again, "I missed you at school. " "Uh?" "Campus. I didn't notice you left. " He explains as I kick my shoes off my feet to slip into my slippers. "Why? We don't interact at school. " "I know that Carson, " he sighs when I lift my head to him, and then he opens his arms. I watch as he waits for me to get into his arms, before I drop my bag and move into his embrace. "Things change. "He whispers as he clamps a hand to my head. "They do, " I agree as I press the side of my face to his chest, breathing in his smell.

My chest falls in a sigh as my eyes move to the spot where Emerson's car is parked, and I know he's inside.I take deep breaths to keep myself under control before I walk up to the front door.When I walk through the door, Emerson is standing behind the couch with his eyes on me, still in his same attire from school."Hey, " he throws me a smile as he leans away from the couch and I shut the door behind me before I respond to his greeting, "Hey.

EVA.His lips meet mine and everything else becomes non-existent as he brings me into the world only he is capable of– the world where there's nothing but me and him with the feelings and desires that burns between us. The world that's come to be one of comfort, and the world that's come to be our special place."Make it yours this time?" Emerson pulls back to request and I'm only able to give a nod before I capture his lips in mine and slide my hands over his shoulder while Emerson leads us in the direction of my room.It isn't long before we find our way to my room, managing to not stumble along the way as Emerson adjusts me in his arms and strides to my bed.He places me on the mattress before he draws back to remove his pants and his boxers.

EVA."I told you not to drop me here. " I hiss at Emerson as I unfasten my seatbelt before I turn to grab my bag from the backseat."And who are you trying to hide from?" He queries when I move back to my seat."I'm not hiding. It just feels... Weird?" I tell him as I duck my head from his gaze and Emerson drops his hand to my chin, tipping my head to meet his eyes. "Then you should get real with it because this isn't a one-time thing. ""It is. You won't be taking me tomorrow. I don't care what you use. ""Is that a challenge?" He raises a daring brow, the corners of his lips curving when I hum before I push forward to press my lips to his. "Take it as you feel. " I tell him when I pull back, attempting to move out but Emerson's hand slides to the back of my neck and he takes my lips in his again, not stopping the luscious attack of his lips and his tongue till

EVA."I think I might have a problem, " Aliya complains as she drops to the seat in front of me and I shut my laptop to focus my gaze on her. "What's it?""I might have or might have not told Sage that I'm getting tired of our relationship. " She says as she drops her bag to the side before tilting forward and I furrow a brow, "What? What does that mean?""I don't know, " she sighs. "I don't know what's wrong with me. ""Is that how you feel?" I ask her and she nods. "It suddenly feels too much; like I'm being boxed in or something and I hate that feeling. ""What was her reaction when you told her?""She walked out on me. " A frown covers her face as she stares down at her hands. "I told her I needed a break to rethink our relationship and she just walked out... Without a word.

Hatred With Benefits Final Author's Note
We're at the end!!! Woohoo!Where do I begin? So far, Hatred turns out to be the most challenging book I've written. Not just with the trope and the content, but both emotionally and physically. There were a lot of challenges along the way, but I made it. WE made it, and I know you're probably tired of hearing me say this now, but I truly wouldn't be here without your support. Hatred isn't just a step out of the comfort zone for me, it's a book that I found myself so attached to along the way and one I learn a lot from, so thank you all, for letting me write Eva and Emerson's story, for believing in me and for staying with me until the very end. I still find it hard to believe at times when I look at how far I've come, and how many of you have travelled with me through this journey. I recognize some of you from my very first book, A Night With The Billionaire, and you have no idea how glad it warms my heart to see you up till now. Thank you very much for enduring and for staying. I

EVA. Emerson holds my hand as I stand in front of her grave, and I smile at him before I drop the flower I have in hand. Straightening up, I say, "Today is our birthday. Though, physically you aren't here to celebrate it with me. I know you're watching me with a smile, and I just want to thank you for being such an amazing sister. And for taking care of me the best way you could have ever. I've always thought it's selfish to celebrate and be happy on this day without you, but recently, I've found out that what's truly selfish is refusing to celebrate this day with beautiful memories of you, so I promise to never do that from now on. " With a heavy sigh, I speak my last words, "Thank you, sister. For your sacrifice; I'll never forget all that you did for me, and I'll always love you, Lena. Always. " I rest my head against him when Emerson moves to my side and slides a hand around my shoulder. "You did amazing, baby. " He whispers, and I hum, letting him stroke my hair before I g

ALIYA. "Hey!" I flinch at the loud sound behind me and Eva laughs as she moves around me to my side, holding me by my arm. "You're such a coward. " "Shut up, bitch. You scared me. " I throw her a frown, adjusting the strap of my bag and she wiggles her head as she straightens against me, "Why were you lost in thoughts?" "I was not. " I roll my eyes and she narrows hers at me, "Yes, you were. Were you thinking about Friday? You don't have to come up with something heavy, you know. " I smirk at her at the mention of her birthday. "No chance in hell, bitch. Everyone is coming. " She furrows her brows, "Aliya, what do you mean by that? Please tell me you didn't go overboard with this. " When I don't give her a response and keep the smirk on my face, she screams, "Aliya!" "Fuck sake, we're on campus. Tone it down for later. " I hiss as my eyes move across us to see people are barely paying us any attention. When I look back at her, I say, "I was just fucking with you. There's no one

EMERSON. "Give me that!" Eva whines as she strides inside the living room, and I laugh as I dodge her attempt to grab the plate from me. "Emerson. Give it to me. " She insists and I shake my head, "I let you have the two other slices; I'm not giving you the last one. "She frowns. "I thought you don't love cakes. You wouldn't have bought it if I didn't insist. ""But we did, and I'm having this one now. I'm not giving it to you, babe. " I state firmly and she drops next to me, "You're so petty. ""Not any lesser than you, Carson. " I tease her as she grabs the remote in front of her, and she shoves her middle finger in my face. Chuckling, I take my attention back to the plate and lift the fork to my mouth. I don't see it coming when Eva suddenly grabs my jaw, turning my head to her and biting the cake out of my mouth. She wipes the corner of my mouth with her forefinger, and slips it inside her mouth as she leans back with a grin on her face, "I told you I'd get it. ""That's chea

EMERSON. "Hey, " I whisper as she drops her head on my chest. "Hey. "Adjusting against my body, she says, "How do you feel?""Happy?" I say more of a question than an answer, then I settle with. "Happy. You're in my arms. "A smile crosses her face. "Emerson Ford. " She lifts her hands to my face. "You know how to make a girl feel good just at the brink of slumber. "I show a proud smile. "You. Just you. "She hums and drops her chin to brush her lips against my chest. Then she tips it again to meet my eyes, "But I meant the other way. ""I know, baby. " I say, circling my hands around her waist. "And I'm happy. Maybe it's because you're here. Maybe it's because I've finally come to accept that, and the fact that she'll always be with me, or maybe it's because everything else seems perfect. ""You have no idea how pleased I am to hear that. " She murmurs, pauses for the pass of a heartbeat, then adds, "Do you want me to come with you?"I groan loudly. "I'll very much like that, Eva.

EMERSON. I stand in front of the restroom as I pound on the door, calling out her name. "Eva!" It isn't until a few minutes of yelling and pounding with almost coming close to kicking the door down that she finally opens up, ducking her head through. "What do you think you're doing?" She whispers, and I yank her out of the room, steadying her in front of me as my eyes roam across her body. "Are you okay? What happened in there? Why did you scream?" "I'm fine, Em. " She says, and I slide my hands to her face, cupping her cheeks. "Are you sure? " I glance back at the door before I look back at her, "I heard a scream and thought—" "It wasn't mine. " She interrupts me and when I arch my brows, she says, "The scream wasn't mine. There's someone else in there. Having a moment, it seems. " "Oh, thank heavens. " I let out a breath of relief and snatch her to my chest, lowering one hand to her back with the one to the back of her head. "You were taking long, and I thought something happe

EMERSON. "Paige?" Eva repeats and I nod my head to the redhead who stands in front of our apartment, with her head turned to us now at the sound of the car. "She's here. " Eva says and I hum, unfastening my seatbelt. "I'm just as surprised as you are. I didn't expect to see her anytime soon. " Eva doesn't respond as we both get out of the car, and walk to her. "Hey, you both. I was just about to leave. " Paige says as we stop in front of her, and I slide my hand around Eva. She's looking more held up than the last time I saw her, with a smile complementing her features. "Eva. " She calls. "Paige. " Eva responds, letting my hands fall from her as they both hug, patting each other's back for a while before they pull away. "You look... Well, you look like you, blondie. " Paige remarks and Eva says, "I can say the same thing about you, redhead. " And they both laugh. A smile stretches to my face as I watch them converse without wanting to throw hands at each other.

EVA. "Baby. " Emerson whispers in the dark and I groan as I turn my ear away from him. He chuckles, "Are you still asleep?" "Yes. " I respond, gripping the pillow I'm pressed to without opening my eyes. "What time is it?" "It's late now. " His voice is closer as he answers and I force my eyes open, twisting my head to meet his eyes and he's leaning over my body from behind. "Hey, beautiful. " He smiles as he moves his head closer to press his lips to my nose and I hum, my eyes moving down his body when he pulls away and he's still naked. "Why are you up?" I ask him when I meet his eyes again and he collapses next to me, wrapping his arms around me. I remove my hands from the pillow to push back against him, moaning at the press of his cock to my ass. "I went to the bathroom, and realized it's dark. I've been awake for a while. Watching you. " His voice sends chills through my body as he sticks his face in the curve of my neck, inhaling my scent; no doubt I smell of him and I mi
