The Revenge Plan 17. Haven
The gentle knock that fell on my door told me it could be no one else but Wick. Beau would’ve pounded, Cress would’ve walked in without even knocking, and no way would Fox come near me after seeing me tear up. Nothing scared him off like crying girls.I sighed because it seemed too rude to tell Wick to fuck off since he hadn’t done anything wrong, even though I just wanted to be left alone.Well played, cousins. Well played.Wiping at my eyes, I mumbled, “It’s open.”The door slowly floated inward, but he didn’t come inside. Leaning against the doorjamb, he crossed his arms over his chest and watched me from worried eyes. “They’re still here, stealing food from our kitchen. You want me to kick them out?”I smiled through my tears and shook my head. The way he said our kitchen brightened something inside me. I hadn’t even lived here a full three days yet, but he was already willing to share the place with me, despite his initial resistance to the idea.“No,” I told him. “They’re f
The Revenge Plan 18. Wick
I woke with Haven on top of me. Again.The night before, we’d watched the rest of the game on my laptop together. Or rather, I watched it. Haven fell asleep, only to miss seeing her boyfriend—sorry, ex-boyfriend—throw two more interceptions.We still won, though, thanks to the kicker, defense, and a running back who scored the only offensive touchdown. I nudged her and said her name to let her know the game was over, but she didn’t wake, so I just shut the laptop and then scooted down in order to lie next to her. And sometime throughout the night, she ended up on top of me.This made two out of the four nights she’d lived here that she’d slept on me. We were beginning to make a habit of it. I hoped it became a regular occurrence.Shit. Wait. No, I wasn’t supposed to want that, was I? She was Nicholl’s girl. Ex-girl. Whatever. I should think of her as used-up leftovers. Except that was frankly impossible. She was way too intriguing for that, and I liked waking up with her on top of
The Revenge Plan 19. Wick
I retreated to the living room, where I paced for about five minutes, listening to her in the kitchen, running the water and clanging pots around, and not because I was obsessively, compulsively worried she would put the pans away in the wrong cabinet.I felt exposed now. She had exposed me. But what the hell had I been thinking to admit to her how responsible I felt for her? That sounded creepy even to my ears.I didn’t want to be creepy. I just… I wanted her to stop questioning my motives and stripping me emotionally bare. I’d worked damn hard these past few years to close myself off and not let any of my thoughts or stupid feelings show. Why did she need to crack me open? And why the hell was I letting her? I didn’t want to be open, anymore. I wanted—Fuck.I didn’t even want to admit what I really wanted.When a knock fell on my apartment door, I stopped flipping out and running my hand through my hair to scowl at it.This time, I wasn’t even expecting it to be for me. I stro
The Revenge Plan 20. Haven
You know what I never got? I never understood how someone could just keep going after they fucked up so badly that not only they knew what they’d done wrong but the entire freaking universe they lived in knew it, too.Like now, for instance. I didn’t want to be here, exposing my stupidity to these four amazing women I’d grown up admiring and wishing I could be like. I didn’t want them to see how awful I was at picking guys. Heck, I wanted to call it quits on this whole being alive business altogether. Because I failed at living.Like hard-core failure.That’s honestly how it felt at the moment, that nothing I’d ever tried in my entire life had been worth the effort. I had to be the most clueless idiot on the planet for not realizing what Topher had been doing throughout our entire relationship.I glanced around the kitchen, realizing all my cousins knew exactly how lame I was too.It made me feel gross, embarrassed, ashamed. Stupid.Because, seriously, how could I not know? All t
The Revenge Plan 21. Haven
I think I hated my cousins.It was funny how just a few hours could change things. I’d been so certain that revenge sex was not for me. But the damn seed Bentley, Bella, Lucy, and Teagan had planted in my head had taken root. I thought and deliberated and decided, hell, why not give it a try?I was going to seduce my roommate.Oh Lord. My heart began to thump like crazy and my nerves felt like live wires. I was going to seduce my roommate.After everyone left a little after noon, I retreated to my room and tried to do homework, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Wick and the conversation I’d had with the girls.By evening, I had sobered up enough to realize the plan was crazy and I still wanted to try it, anyway. So, I took a shower, prepped myself, and finally went on the prowl, looking for my prey.I found him in the kitchen, sitting at the table with his back to me as he typed on his laptop.“Hey, there you are,” I murmured, pitching my voice low and sexy. God, at least I hop
The Revenge Plan 22. Henry
Issue 4 of “Hopeless Henry”By Alice BennetTaken from the University Gazette“Her name’s Avery.”Jumping when those words rang out behind me, I turned slowly, recognizing the voice.Reuben smirked as he shrugged. “Just thought you’d like to know.”I glared at him. And the bastard had the nerve to laugh.“What?” he taunted. “Hey, I can’t help it if the girl wanted me instead of you.”Anger bubbled. My fists clenched at my sides. And for a moment, the only thing I could see was him across that bar, pulling my dream girl into his arms and kissing her.And now he knew her name. Avery. Fuck. Her name was Avery. I hadn’t even been able to learn her name for myself.Red fringed my vision.“Get the fuck away from me,” I growled, flashing my teeth.Reuben had the gall to act offended. “Whoa, whoa.” He lifted his hands and backed away, but that glint in his eyes—that pompous, I-got-the-best-of-you gleam—kept me seething and frothing. “You need to chill. So the girl wanted me, not yo
The Revenge Plan 23. Haven
My cousins had really gotten me to thinking. Not about the rebound sex with Wick, but the closure I needed with Topher.Even though my checkup at the health center on Friday had been, you know, no fun at all, I had felt a certain relief after it, a weight lifted from my shoulders. I think it was because I’d been proactive and actually gone out and done something in response to my breakup.So, wanting to do more and clean my slate completely so I could move on, I decided to visit my ex that night and return everything that belonged to him, along with things he’d given me over the years that he may or may not want back.I paced the front room of my new apartment until Wick came home, opening the door and pausing when he saw me hovering.“You’re home,” I announced the obvious. “Great. So practice is over, then?”He frowned suspiciously. “Uh huh.”“Cool,” I answered. This meant Topher would be out of practice too and probably also headed home. “And you don’t appear to have any more c
The Revenge Plan 24. Wick
I’d barely fallen asleep when someone touched my shoulder. With a gasp, I woke, jumping half out of my skin.And then, realizing only one person could logically be nudging me awake, I shot upright into a sitting position and blinked into the dark room—my brain muzzy and still half out of it—until she finally came into focus.“Haven? What’s—”“Shh.” She pressed her fingers to my mouth. “Don’t say a word. This isn’t real. Okay? Just… Please. Don’t make it real. I need this. I just need…”She clutched my covers and ripped them away before climbing on top of me and straddling my waist, where she sat down directly on my dick.Holy shit!“But—”I have no idea what I wanted to say but about; there was absolutely nothing she’d done so far that I objected to.She must’ve thought I did, though. Her hand slapped against my chest as she pushed me back down onto the mattress. “I’m serious. One word and I’m gone. You want me to leave, then talk. You want me to stay, then shut up. This isn’t
