"What are you reading?" I drop my gaze from my book to look at Emerson who's sitting right where my bent legs end on the couch.
"A novel. " I state the obvious and Emerson throws me an annoyed look. "Obviously I know it's a novel, Carson. "
With a chuckle, I lift the book I have in hand for him to read the title across the cover before dropping it back to my belly.
"You have a bad taste in books, don't you think?" He teases and a smirk climbs on my face as I lift my body from the couch so I'm sitting close to Emerson. "You do realize you have a copy of this?"
"You looked through my shelves, Carson?" He furrows his brows and I bob my head. "I've been in your room several times. What did you expect?"
Emerson looks away from me and says, "It isn't mine though. It was a gift. "
"But you still have it, and

EVA. "You need to start leaving, Hanna. " Hanna groans next to me at the voice of her brother, and I chuckle, throwing her a smile as she meets my eyes with a small pout. "He's chasing me away. " She purrs and I look at Emerson behind us before looking back at her to say, "I'm sure he has good intentions. " "You're defending him?" She narrows her eyes and I shake my head. "I'm not. Just pointing that out. " "Fine, " she rolls her eyes before moving to her feet then a smile covers her face. "I look forward to spending more time with you, Eva. " "Me too. " I utter sincerely and her smile widens before she turns to her brother, "I'm leaving now. Are you satisfied?" "Do you want me to take you back?" Emerson asks her and she says, "No, I don't think so. I'll be fine " "I'll take you. " Emerson persists now and Hanna

EVA.It feels like my heart is about to jump out of my chest with how fast it's thumping, like the sound of galloping horses as I watch Emerson between my legs.I close my parted lips, swallowing down my dry throat before I open my mouth to speak. "What do you mean with those words?"Emerson drops my legs and moves to his feet before he says, "You heard what I said, Carson. ""I heard words that shouldn't be. " I retort and he takes a step closer. "You heard exactly how I feel. I feel more than just sex with you. ""We already hate each other. " I point out and Emerson shakes his head with a small laugh. "More than that, Carson. I feel more with you. I feel so fucking more that it's starting to annoy me and I just can't keep it to myself. " He ends his words with a groan as he drops his hand to my waist."What's your definition of more?" I t

EVA. "Are we leaving together later?" I ask Aliya as we walk towards the exit of the campus and she shakes her head, "No, I don't think so. I have to take care of something first. Text me once you're on your way. " "Does that something have to do with—" "Yes. " She interrupts the rest of my words, and I drape a hand over her shoulder. "Good-luck. Don't give in to the temptation of sex, babe. " "Fuck off. " She groans, lowering her head to drop my hand from her shoulder and I let out a chuckle as I adjust the strap on my shoulder. "And you might just want to take care of something. " I furrow my brows in confusion as I meet her eyes, and she nods in a direction. I follow the trail of her eyes and instantly freeze on my spot as I see Dan approaching. He's appearing before me for the first time since that day, and he looks much better than the last time, with h

EVA. Emerson is staring at me, with his arms still around me with no words coming from him, as if he didn't hear the words I just let out. "Are you not going to say anything?" I speak in annoyance and he surprisingly shakes his head, bringing his face closer to say, "Repeat those words. " His voice is soft, and his gaze drifts to my lower face. "No. Let go of me. " I tell him, instead of complying with his demand, suddenly aware of how he's everywhere around me. "Repeat the words, Carson. I want to hear them again. " He insists and I raise a brow, "Why?" "Because I'm not sure I heard them right. " He confesses and I let out a laugh, "Smartly played, Ford but I'm not dumb. You wouldn't be asking me to repeat them if you didn't hear them right. " "Carson—" he drawls with his lips turned in a frown. "Just repeat the damn words

EVA. My eyes go wide as I look around us in a frantic state. "Where?" I crease my brows when I find the man nowhere in sight and Emerson laughs from his seat. Realising the prank he just pulled on me, I frown as I look back at him. "You're fucking insane. " "I was hoping you would dodge your head to hide so you would end up with your face in my pants. " He confesses as he starts to drive and I say, "You could have said you want me to suck your dick, Ford. " "Never going to be straightforward with you, Carson. " He responds as he drops his other hand to the radio and tunes up the volume of the music blaring through the speaker. "I could do that. Only if you can control your hold. " I tell him and Emerson looks away from the road to take one glance at me before looking back to his front and I watch the bob in his throat shift from a gulp. &

EVA."Let me take a look now?" I try persuading Emerson about the pictures he took of me again, and he hums in objection as he opens the car compartment and throws the camera inside."You're such a pussy. " I cuss when he turns back to me and his famous signature look masks his face as he says, "Yeah, right. Your pussy. Want me to check on my pussy to see if it's doing alright down here? Possibly need some attention?" He lifts a teasing brow as he bends over the divider to my thighs and I shift back, pressing my body into the car's door as I push at Emerson's shoulder."Stop!" I say through a giggle and Emerson lifts his head with a satisfied smile gracing his lips before he nods behind me. "Come on, we should eat. "He waits for me to get out of the car before he follows behind me and we make our way inside the place."I come here often; a woman here is a

EVA. "I'm back. " I say as I walk through the door with a grin on my face, halting my steps at the sight of Aliya with my mom. Both heads snap to me and they both carry a smile on their face. "Hey, honey. How was the date?" Mom questions and I look away from her to the blue-haired beside her, who's staring at me with a smirk on her face. Oh fuck. "Yes, Evie. Did you have a nice time?" She speaks, and I can easily sense the mockery and annoyance that lies underneath those words. "When did you get here?" I ask her, ignoring their previous questions as I stride closer to them and Aliya says, "Hours ago. I had a nice time with mom. " She jerks her head to my mother. "Was it good?" Mom queries, clasping a hand to the side of my head as I press a kiss to her cheek and I hum. "It was. I'll take Aliya with me now. " She nods

EMERSON.I stare into her eyes as I wait for her response, and she shakes her head, "I can't show you here. ""Why not?" My voice sounds impatient and miserable, and I don't give a fuck at this moment. That image of her has messed with my head and provoked every sentiment in me.I've always known Eva Carson is far less innocent than she might appear to be, but goddamn; her in heels and a damn clothing that reveals too much than I handle with her body wrapped around the pole that way just makes her so fùcking naughtier. A damn sexy woman; a damn sexy woman who plays with my control like a switch."I need music to feel. " She tells me and I say, "I can give you music. We can play a song right here and—"She cut me off. "You do realize we aren't back in our apartment, right?" She lifts a brow, reminding me of that very fact and I let out a sigh,

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. "Is everything a

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
