I stare in shock at Knox. I knew at some point I’d see him around, but I thought it would be in our building. I always take the stairs, so I’m sure that lessens the chance but I also peek past the gates before I enter to make sure that I don’t see him. I do the same before I come down the last flight of stairs. For the past two weeks, that plan has been working because I haven’t seen him at all.

With how big the campus is, I thought if I happen to spot him, I could easily remember when and where I was and then avoid that place. Of course, even with all my planning, I still manage to run into him. Literally. How is this my life? All of the creeping around was for nothing, and of course, I’m again running right into his giant body that’s as hard as a brick wall. I swear it’s even bigger than before.

“I’m sorry.” I force the words past my lips even though my heart is lodged in my throat. He’s more handsome than I remember him being. Each time I see him, he looks more and more like a man.

    We walk in silence but then I wonder if I should make small talk. I can’t be weird—or weirder—if I keep my mouth shut. That sounds like a solid plan. Too bad I don’t do it. “How come your family hasn’t selected a wife for you?” He lifts a brow as he cocks his head my way.“How come your parents aren’t taking offers for you to get married?”“What?” His question completely catches me off guard. I once again stop walking. “They aren’t? How do you know that?”“Just heard people talk.” He shrugs absently.“About me?” Panic starts to rise again.“I mean, I’m sure you got a lot of offers before they shut it down. People are going to talk if they pretty much put out a blanket statement that they’re not entertaining them. You didn’t know?” I shake my head. “Probably because you’re in school.” He grabs my hand and pulls me to start walking again.“You’re holding my hand.”“Yeah, I kind of knew that when I grabbed it.”“Right,” I say absently. My mind is still whirling from everything he said. H

    “Fuck.” I toss the food from the pot into the sink and run cold water over my burning fingers. “Okay, so plan G it is.”“Is something on fire?”The sound of Violeta’s voice surprises me so much that I turn around too quickly and sling the pot of water on her. “Shit.” I grab the paper towels as I throw the pot on the counter and go to her.To my shock, she starts laughing as I try to wipe her down. “Knox Andora, you are a mess.”Glancing around the kitchen, I see what I’ve done as a collective whole instead of just running around and trying to get things ready. Pans are piled up in the corner, flour spread out on the counter, a broken egg on the floor, and I think that’s spinach stuck to the fridge.“Um, surprise?” I shrug sheepishly, and she laughs again. Fuck, I love the sound of that.“What on earth are you trying to make?” She looks behind me as she takes the towels out of my hand and presses them to her dress. “Is that spaghetti or tacos?”“Both?”“Did you invite me to dinner not

    I so don’t want this night to end, but I’ve been here for four hours now. I can’t recall the last time I had this much fun. Since the incident at the bakery, I built Knox into something he isn’t. I think my hope was if I remembered him as horribly as I could, then maybe the crush I had on him when I was younger would die out. It hasn’t.Tonight, I got to see that some of the sweet boy I met all those years ago at my older sister’s wedding is still there. I remember him asking me if I wanted him to carry my flowers because they looked heavy. They were heavy because my mom—being my mom—went way overboard with all the bouquets. My shyness won out that day, and I don’t think I ever answered him.“Can we take the stairs?” I ask when we exit his place. He insisted on walking me back to mine even though I’m only two floors down.“Of course.” His hand goes to my back. “Elevators bother you?” he asks, and I nod. “You did okay earlier.”“I was distracted.” He smirks, and I playfully elbow him i

    After banging on Violeta’s door last night and then trying to call her, I got nothing. Deciding that she was either pissed off at me because Lisa showed up, or she was tired of being around me, I gave up and went to bed. Although can you call it going to bed if you don’t sleep? Basically I lie awake on a mattress all night, wondering how I managed to fuck up one of the best nights of my life.On top of that both of my parents called me this morning. It’s almost like they were working together to make my day miserable.My dad called first, and he complained about his company struggling and how Felipe has done nothing to help him. I hate it because I have sympathy for him. I understand that he sees his son with so much more success than he ever had, which probably makes him jealous. But I also see that he’s suffering at work and has no one else to turn to except Felipe. He’s made his bed by treating him like a child his entire life and trying to control him at every turn. Then when he c

    “What was that?” Emma asks before taking the seat across from mine.“Sorry.” I quickly realize I’d walked off with Knox when he took my tray.I’d been so shocked by what played out that afterwards I wandered over to an empty table and sat down. I’d come to the dining hall to have lunch with Emma at the end of our last class. Normally I go home to eat because the dining hall is overwhelming. I picture myself having one of those moments on TV where the person can’t find anywhere to sit and people glare at them or move their bags into a seat next to them so they won’t sit at their table with them. When Emma asked, I knew I’d at least have someone to sit with. I’ve enjoyed the small conversations we’ve had before and after class since school started. We actually have two classes together.“Listen, let's always have an understanding that if a hot guy comes up to one of us and starts piling food on our tray while knowing what we like to eat without us having to say it, we let the other go w

    “Knox,” she says against my mouth, and god, it goes right into my chest.“Don’t tell me to stop.” I take the keys out of her hand but keep my eyes on hers as I unlock the door behind her and push it open. “Don’t make me wait.”“You’re insane.” The edge of her lips tugs into a smile, and that’s all the confirmation I need.She squeals as I pull her into my arms and rush through her door before kicking it closed behind us. I don’t care who’s out in the hall to see it happen; the only thing I care about is getting Violeta under me.I don’t even take time to look around her apartment before I find the nearest flat surface and put her on it. Turns out it’s the couch in the living room, but I don’t give a shit.“You are driving me crazy,” I say through gritted teeth as I kneel on the floor in front of the couch and pull her closer to me. The little summer dress she’s got on rides up, showing her little boy short panties. “You’ve been walking around all day wearing this?”She nods as she bit

    “Don’t move.” Knox's voice has changed in the last few hours. It’s deeper, with a sexy gruffness, but it’s also how he’s more direct too.It’s something I saw my dad do with my mom or even Felipe with my sister. I used to roll my eyes and shake my head, but I don’t roll my eyes when Knox does it to me. My body has a completely different reaction, and it’s only to Knox.“I’ll be right here.” He narrows his eyes on me like he’s not sure if he should trust me, and I’m not mad about it. He doesn’t want me putting any clothes on and wants me to stay in the bed where we’ve been since the first round on the sofa. The bed is a lot easier to explore each other's bodies.“Why do you even need to leave?” I huff. Instantly I regret it. The last thing I want to do is to come off as needy or clingy.“Because you’re distracting, and I ordered the food to my place and not yours by accident,” he growls before he pounces back onto the bed and pins me to it. His mouth comes down in a hard, wild kiss lik

    Violeta’s eyes are the size of dinner plates as I walk in holding the food I ordered. The look she’s giving me is one of embarrassment, and it makes a little piece of my heart crack. Is she embarrassed that her brother knows I’m here, or that they might find out that we’re together? We are together, aren’t we? In my mind, after all that we shared, it was a done deal. But she’s pulling back inch by inch, and I’m beginning to see that maybe I don’t fit in her plan.“Uh, hey,” I say, then my sister looks between Violeta and me. Her eyes narrow, and then she looks back toward Violeta’s bedroom.“Thank you so much for grabbing those for me,” Violeta says.“Sure,” I answer and place them on the table next to the kitchen. The room has suddenly gone quiet, so I clear my throat and offer my hand to Cillian. “Hey, good to see you.”“You too.” He shakes it quickly, and then Glenda comes over to give me a hug.“How’s it going, brother?” Her question is casual, but there’s a tone that tells me she

    Anatoli’s touch is like lightning. Electric pulses course up my spine, igniting flares of passion at the base of my skull that light me up like a Christmas tree.His kiss…Oh God, his kiss.I’ve been waiting, dreaming, absolutely begging for it for the last week. And not having it has been more painful than I ever could have imagined. But now having it is almost just as painful.It’s like too much salt or too much sweet. Too much pleasure, and I can barely comprehend it all. And when he curls his fingers and applies pressure between my legs, he overwhelms me.“Anatoli,” I breathe as he breaks our embrace and drags his lips down my neck. I can feel his hunger. His anger—I can feel it in his fingers as he forces them inside me. My jaw drops, and I practically burst like a popping light bulb. “Oh my God!”“This is what you wanted?” he asks, instantly finding my spot. My back arches off the wall, but he presses me right back against it with his body. I feel his bulge, rock hard and thick

    I feel like a secret agent as I slip in the back stairs of the Radcliffe estate. I’m almost certainly being caught on their security cameras. Who knows whether or not the guards are watching the monitors and will come running?I’m in peak shape, but when I reach the door to Olivia’s wing, it feels like every one of my heart valves is ready to tear itself to shreds.All this over a girl I should despise.A girl trying to ruin me.I don’t even wait. I grab the door handle and barge in. Olivia almost jumps out of her skin and leaps back like she was about to open it for me.“Anatoli!” she yelps. I quickly clasp my hand over her mouth and close the door behind me.“Quiet!” I snap with a threatening hiss. “It’s been a week, Olivia. A week and I haven’t heard one word from the sheriff or the town clerk. I told you to call off your dogs or else. Was I not clear!?”The words taste like poison on my tongue. I can see the fear in her eyes as I speak them and want nothing more than to release he

    I don’t sleep at all. Every time I close my eyes, I see her.Olivia Radcliffe.“Stop,” I tell myself over and over every time the image of her invades my mind. Rich bitch.You never should have kissed her.It was meant to be a spiteful move. A final fuck you to let her know how badly she’d fucked up, but it backfired hard and left me with a stiff dick that I didn’t want to acknowledge or do anything about but finally had to.Twice.And even that wasn’t enough.As I lie in bed, staring at the flecked paint of my bedroom ceiling, I can still feel her soft, supple waist in my hands from when I held her close.Christ, what it would be like to hold her like that again and stuff my cock inside her sweet little pussy. I’d fuck that queenly attitude right out of her. Make her come on my dick over and over and over again until she couldn’t see straight, walk, or mouth off at all.What are all those billions worth when you are shuddering all over my throbbing cock, queenie?I’d give anything to

    “Are you all right, Olivia?” Bennett asks.“Fine,” I reply quickly. “I just – I think I’m going to take a bath. I have a bit of a headache.”“Need someone to run the water for you?”I have my back to him, but I can practically see the smirk on his face when he says that line. I’d like to turn around and tell him off – tell him that Tinder pickup lines don’t actually work in person and that I’m not a trashy slut that’s just going to jump in bed with him.But I don’t.Instead, I turn around, put on my best princess face, and force a painful smile.“No, Bennett. Thank you. That’s quite all right. I’m just going to relax now. Please tell my mom I’m going to go to bed early on your way out.”Unlike me, Bennett doesn’t dig deep for his charms and lets his emotions play out over his face.“Uh huh.” He nods, clicking his lower lip with his tongue. “You know, Olivia, when are you going to realize that this 18-year-old-virgin act just isn’t cute anymore?”“Excuse me?”“You know how many girls I

    “I’d hoped you would come see me the other night you know.” Bennett’s voice is smooth and warm, low and unthreatening, but has all the charm of a snake waiting to bite.“I know,” I reply, smiling at him in the mirror as I brush my hair. “I was tired.”A lie. A big one.The night he’s talking about was the night I drove to the ridge. He’d sent me a text letting me know that his parents were out of town on a spontaneous three-day vacation to Paris, and that it was about time he and I “stopped pretending and let fate take its course.”Fate…That’s how he sees things. Him, his parents, my parents. Everyone around us in both of our lives.Bennett Hawkley, heir to the Hawkley fortune, and as far as the world is concerned, the logical choice for me to marry. Ever since freshman year it’s been basically a given that he and I would get together at some point, have the marriage of the century, and that I would churn out at least three perfect little babies (and of course one perfect son) for hi

    “Suspended for a week? Jesus, Anatoli, what on earth did you do!?”“It’s complicated, Ma,” I sigh as I grab a seltzer from the fridge. “You want one?”She sighs and shakes her head. “Complicated? Honey, we can’t have you acting out at Royal Elite . You know how precarious your situation there is.”Thankfully, when Mrs. Ervin called Mom to let her know about my suspension, she left out the details of my argument with Olivia. If there’s anything Royal Elite hates more than a low-class guy like me, it’s a scandal. And they’re doing their best to keep this one quiet.“Now, if you agree to never speak that way in the halls again,” she told me through clenched teeth, sitting behind her enormous desk that was probably made out of a piece of the Santa Maria. “I will not tell your mother what you said. But if you behave like this again, young man, not only will I have a discussion with her, but I will terminate your scholarship, and your time here at Royal Elite will be at an end. Do you und

    “Hey, trailer trash.” I’m greeted by Sally Manke’s smiling face as I enter through the side door by the gym. She’s a smug little bitch on the field hockey team who’s never liked me, but she’s also never been outwardly obnoxious or aggressive to me like that before.I ignore her.“Asshole,” another girl from the team comments as I pass the locker room.“Prick.”“Harvey Weinstein motherfucker.”Jesus.I’ve faced a lot of abuse at Royal Elite Academy, but this is out of the ordinary. And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s changed since yesterday. Olivia may not have followed through on her promise of bringing her family’s wrath down upon me, but she’s obviously stirred up some shit. I keep my head down and keep moving. I find Thatcher by his locker. When he sees me, he comes right over and looks at me like I’ve just broken out of prison.“Bro, what the fuck is going on?” he hisses. “The whole school’s going crazy!”“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”“Well, you better te

    I don’t know what I’m doing, but it feels right.It’s like Anatoli has cast a spell on me.Your majesty…Son of a bitch. He’s been so infuriatingly sexy since the moment I first saw him. It’s been next to impossible to go to school pretending I don’t want him to tear my clothes off of me.So what if he comes from nothing and my parents would rather see him mopping the floors of our house than putting a ring on my finger? I’d let him bend me over right here right now in my dad’s Rolls Royce if he wanted to. Breed me. Put a baby in my belly and make me spend the rest of my life being his wife, the mother to his children, slaving away in some tiny studio apartment doing exactly as I’m told. At least it would save me from the misery of my life.In fact, I’m hoping he does just that.My heart flutters at the sensation of his lips against mine…God, this is just what I needed and more. I can’t think of anything as he kisses me. Anything except the flood of warmth rising through me, overpowe
