There are five of them: Three guys and two ladies. I recognize one of them as Jaxon, one of Emerson's long time friends. How could he have made friends so soon?
"Will you keep staring at us, or will you move from that door?" The redhead by his side hisses and I scoff.
"I don't think we've met before. I'm not sure what Ford told you, but this is my fucking place and you don't get to speak to me that way. " I snap and there are loud whistles and laughs from the boys.
The redhead looks around before meeting my eyes again, a frown pressed to her face. I have a feeling she doesn't fancy me too much, and judging by the way Emerson snickers next to her; the fucker must have said something.
"This is his place too, bitch. " She cusses and dramatic gasps follow her words.
I clench my hands into fists as I keep my eyes on h

EVA. "Where's your roommate?" Aliya asks as she peeps behind me and I roll my eyes, leaving her by the door to walk inside the house, the sound of her chuckle trailing behind me. "Are you ready?" She asks and I nod. "Yeah, I just need to grab my phone. " I motion for her to sit on the couch while I walk to my room. I throw my phone in my clutch and shut my door behind me, stopping at the sight of his. I shake the thought off my mind before it grows out of control and strides back to the living room to see Aliya settled on the couch. "I'm ready. " I tell her and she raises her head, her eyes moving across my body. A smile climbs on her face as she moves from the couch and stalks towards me in tiny steps. "Can I see your room before we—" "No. Out. Now. " I point to the door and she huffs before he

EMERSON.Her juices coat my fingers, and her chest rises and falls in rapid beats. Sweats cover her brows and forehead, and the shadow cast through the window makes the skin glint in the darkness of the car. Her hair sticks to her cheek and I reach out to tuck it from her face, pressing my lower body against her core. In this position with her beneath me, I know fucking her once wouldn't be it. Whatever has caused my sudden obsession with her body from that night, it's something I have to do repeatedly to get over."What proposition?" Carson asks, her voice coming out rough and I increase the pressure on her nipples, basking in the way she pushes barely closer."It's obvious another fuck won't cut this, so let's make a deal. A sort of arrangement. ""No. " She's quick to say and I laugh. "Do you know what I'm about to say?""I'm not dumb. And no, I'm not m

EVA."My head hurts so fucking much. " Aliya complains, holding her head in her hands as I slide her cup towards her.I laugh and lift the cup to my lips, taking a sip before looking back at Aliya's squeamish face. "You drank too much. " I tell her and she lifts her head to me, a frown crossing her lips."Why didn't you stop me?" She complains with a pout before dropping her hand to the coffee in front of her and I scoff, saying, "Stop you? I don't remember you being a kid, Aliya. ""I know that, mom, " she jokes and I throw her the middle finger, earning a laugh from her.I chuckle and shake my head as I stare down at my wrist. "We have to leave soon. Finish your coffee. " I nod towards the cup in front of her and she nods."I didn't do anything stupid last night, did I?" She asks and knowing this is my chance to tease her, I sm

EVA. "What are you doing?" I whisper when he pinches his lips to my neck and move his hand from my throat to my waist. "Emerson–" I try again when he gives no response, trying to veer around in his arms but he hums against the skin of my neck and keeps me still. "No, don't move. Stay like this. " He mumbles, his lips making contact with my earlobe and sending a shiver down my spine. "I can't see you. " I cover my hands with his and try to move out of the cage he has me in, but Ford doesn't yield. "I didn't realize you love the sight of my face so much, Carson. " His deep chuckle vibrates through me as he says those words and I roll my eyes, almost tempted to push back against him. "That's not it. " I offer silently and there's no response from him. My heart races in my chest when Emerson moves away, seizing his

EVA."The fuck is wrong with you?" He bellows as he moves to his feet and I take my eyes from his lower body to his face covered with an angry expression."You were cuddling me. " I complain as I extend my hand to grab my sweater from the carpet when Emerson's gaze gets too overbearing."Cuddling you?" He scoffs as I throw the material over my head and raise to my feet with a smirk covering my face. "Yes, Ford. You had your arms wrapped around me and your head on my chest. What the fuck do you think I was gonna do? Let you stay there?""I wasn't cuddling you. " He argues, moving towards me to grab his shirt. "Even if I was. We just had sex, Carson. You think a cuddle means anything compared to sex?""A cuddle is intimate and intimacy is the last thing I want to have with you. " I tell him, and he cocks his head, his famous smirk appearing on his face. "And why's

EVA. I take one last glance at my body before walking inside the restaurant. My gaze moves across the room as I search for a blonde head and it doesn't take long to find him waving at me from his booth. "I didn't think you would show up. " Dan smiles as I slide in the booth, taking the seat across him and I give a small laugh. "Why not? I did say I'll be here. " "I know, " he nods. "But I was having doubts. My friend will be here, is that okay with you?" "The more, the merrier. " I confirm and Dan cackles before calling for order. The woman takes Dan's order of two beers while I go with a vodka soda. "Just soda? You sure you don't want a beer?" Dan asks as the woman walks away. "I am. Why? Does that sabotage your plan to get me drunk?" I raise my brows teasingly at h

EVA."Are you okay?" Dan asks as I take my seat and I nod with an assuring smile. "I am. "Dan responds with one of his before turning to Noel to continue their conversation, and my eyes move behind him to see the booth empty.He left. And my lips still tingle from his earlier sudden kiss."What's on your mind?" Dan's voice pulls me out of my thoughts and I drop my gaze to see him leaning forward."Stuff. " I shrug and he hums. "Does that stuff includes how hot Dan is and how you can't wait to get your hands on him?" He lifts his brows with a mischievous smile on his face."So fucking far from it. " I emphasize the words and Dan wears a hurtful expression. "So you mean you don't want to follow me to my place after this?"I lean towards him. "I don't want to come with you to your place after this. "

EVA.Emerson doesn't leave and he doesn't pull away. He continues to give gentle pats to my back with my head hanging on his shoulder. He doesn't say anything either, and I've never appreciated his silence as much as I do now. He lets me feel everything I need to feel with his embrace giving me the comfort I didn't know I would find in anyone. Especially not him."I'm done. " I whisper, pulling away from his embrace. Emerson meets my eyes and I give him a small smile as I lift my hand to my face, to wipe my tears– trying not to make myself more pathetic than I already look before him.Emerson surprises me by lifting his hand with mine. Each harsh swipe of my fingers across my wet cheeks, gives a soothing, slow stroke of his.I meet his eyes and they are closed off once more. I can't detect what he's thinking— or feeling. He's back to the Emerson Ford I know.

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
