I take a peek at the door behind me to make sure it's closed before I turn back to Emerson who moves off my bed and strides towards me with a grin on his face.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing here?" I question in a whisper and Emerson's grin fades into a frown as he places a hand on his chest and says, "Ouch, Carson. "
"I'm not messing around, Ford. Why are you here? How did you even get up to my room? What the fuck was going through your head when you made this decision?"
Emerson heaves a sigh as his hands fall to his side and he slips them into his pockets. "That I needed to come provoke you?"
"It isn't funny, Ford. " I say in a serious tone and he chuckles, "You take everything damn too serious, Carson. There was a ladder out there, " he jerks his head to the direction of my window. "And I already texted you the reason; my room is too hot. "

EVA. "Where are we going?" I ask Emerson and he spares me only a glance before gazing ahead of him. "You'll know when we get there. " Rolling my eyes at his response, I grab my phone from my side and turn on the screen to be met with new text notifications— Dan and Aliya. I open Aliya's first and a laugh falls from my mouth at the words across my screen. ALIYA: Hey bitch, just a reminder but did you tell Delilah you were the one who told me not to come with and check on her beautiful face? ME: I didn't. I told her you were being an ungrateful bitch, and what are you on this morning? You sound excited, and that's saying a lot because I can feel it from here. With the click of the send button, I scroll to Dan's texts, which will be the first ones I have had from him since I left school. DAN: I'm d

EVA. After hours of messing around with the ocean, my hair is all wet and Emerson Ford stands in front of me with a proud grin on his face. "It isn't funny. " I scowl at him when I raise my head to meet his gaze and he chuckles before stepping closer to me. "Move your hands. " He says and when I don't comply with his request, he takes my hands in his grip and swats them away from my wet hair before he grabs a fistful of the hair and squeezes, letting the water drops trail down my face. "You should have told me to tilt my head. " I tell him as I angle my head to the side while he gives it another compression. "You should have been smart enough to know what to do. " Emerson responds and I give a slap to the side of his thigh, which earns me a yank on my hair. "Don't forget I have something more painful in my

EVA. "Are you ready?" Mom asks as I walk into the living room with my backpack and I nod before taking my gaze to Dad who's standing behind mom with his car key in hand. "You don't have to drive me down there. I can take care of myself. " I tell him, and he shakes his head in refusal as he steps forward, and says, "Yes, I have to, Princess. I can manage to take a break for a few hours; you don't have to worry about me. " He assures. I part my lips, but before I can speak; mom beats me to it, agreeing to his words. "That's right. You should let him take you. " Knowing there's no stopping them after that, I nod and move forward to hug my mother. "Thank you, baby. For showing up. " She says as she strokes my back and I pull away with a smile on my face, "Let me know if anything happens, yeah? Don't hide it from me, mom. Ever. " I narrow my eyes and

EVA. A groan leaves my lips as my eyelids flutter and I open my eyes to the familiar ceiling before I drop my eyes to the space next to me, and move back a bit at the sheets that are not mine. Sitting up on the bed, I glance around Emerson Ford's familiar room and down to the book that's by my side before the memories of last night come crashing down. "What the fuck are you doing, Eva?" I mumble under my breath as I swipe my hands down my face before letting them stay on my lap. With a sigh, I start to climb off his bed and straighten his sheets before I grab his copy of the book to return to the shelves. With my hands on the edge of the shelf, I stare around his room– one which still holds his smell and wonder why the fuck I left mine to sleep here? Have I grown so used to having Emerson right next to me that I felt something wasn't right

EVA. "Eva. " Dan calls next to me and I look away from Emerson's gaze to him. He's staring at me with confused eyes. "Is everything alright?" With another glance at Emerson, I see the rest of their friend group behind them and I look back at Dan with a small smile. "Yeah, sure. Everything is. " "Do you want to go back to the seats?" Dan asks again and I nod before he leads us away from the crowd. Just as he's about to take a seat, he presses his hand to the back of his pants and pulls out his phone. "Give me a minute. I need to take this. " Dan says, and I nod, assuring him I'll be fine before he walks away. I adjust in my seat and stare in front of me as I wait for Dan's return, and just out of curiosity; I twist my head to the space where Emerson previously occupied with Paige, only to find it empty. I crease my brows as my eyes begin to move across the room, only

EMERSON.She groans in her sleep and I gently slide my hand from under her head, leaving her to fall against the pillow before leaning my head on my hand and supporting it with my elbow as I watch her in her sleep.My eyes move across her body which is filtered with barely noticeable red marks– marks that are my doing and a smile creep into my face at the sight of them. Eva turns in her sleep, lying on her side so her face is to me and I reach out to it, stroking her cheek with my thumb before letting it fall to her shoulder. I don't know what urges me to do it, but I reach forward to press my lips to her shoulder before I pull back.With another glance at her face, I climb off the bed and pull the duvet up to her chest before I grab my boxers, pull it up my legs and make my way out of the room.I walk down the path that leads to the kitchen and as I bring out my mug to

EVA. I make my way inside the bathroom and Emerson walks in through his side at the same time. His gaze drops down my body and without a word, he moves out of the room. A sigh leaves my mouth as I turn to the sink. It's been a week since that morning on his bed, and things have turned wholly bad for both of us. There have been no snarky comments from him, no looks of annoyance and no mocking words just to taunt me; no form of interaction at all and the only time he speaks to me is when he's buried inside me. Whatever came over him from that day, he's following strictly with our arrangement and I'm aggravated to admit that I miss the other side of him. I told him to follow the rules, only to discover following the rules rigidly might not be so fun after all. Pulling out of Emerson's thoughts and stripping out of my clothes, I walk through the glass door and move under the shower. I turn it on and place m

EVA. "Eva–" Emerson mumbles quietly and when I lift my gaze to his face; an expression that tells me he doesn't need to learn more to know exactly what I mean coats his face, but it isn't right. He needs to learn everything because it's more than they usually think it is. "Listen. And don't utter a word. " I tell him, and Emerson nods, staying mute. With the wet of my lips, I open my mouth to continue. "We went out that night to have fun, but we got lost. They were all grown, and we had no idea where they were taking us. At first, we thought it was some sort of prank, but the more minutes we spent being huddled up in the truck of the car with no sense of movement; the more we learned what was happening and the more our fear grew. " I take a pause and think back to the way I had searched for my sister's hand through the dark, and the way it was shaking when I laced my fingers through hers.

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
