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.
This chapter took a lot for me to get out so I couldn't go ahead with the second one:-( Thank you for waiting and for reading! We're currently New No Nine on the app's rank and it's all thanks to your support of gems. Thank you so much for it, and do keep them coming. Also, if you could drop me a review on the front page of the book– I'd appreciate it as it'd get the books rating up faster! Thank you!(^^)
EVA."You leave first. I need to get a book from the library. " I tell Aliya as we walk out of class and she twists her body to me to say, "Meet me back at my dorm, yeah?""You got it. " I throw her a wink and pat her back before I turn in the other direction that takes me to the school library.Stepping inside the room, there are a few students scattered across, and I make my way towards my favourite spot at the very end to drop my bag before I head to the row of shelves and look through for the book I need.Not finding it in the first sections, I move to the one at the very end and start looking through the books. A smile covers my face when I catch the sight of the cover and I lift my hand to fish it out but startle when there's a breath down my neck."They are not for stealing, Carson. " I turn around to see Emerson standing in front of me.
EVA. "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
