EVA"Jesus Christ. " the boy groaned for the seventh time today, within the last thirty minutes. "Can we leave already? ""You're not the only one here. You know that, right? " an exasperated voice retorted and that was obviously the wrong thing to do because the frustrated boy wasted no time in channeling all his anger at the speaker, which made me think he probably had been looking for an outlet all along."Did you not hear the 'we' in the statement I just made? ""Wasn't a statement, Destiny. It was a question. " Another voice piped in. This one, belonging to a girl. "You would know the difference if you ever paid attention to a single thing that's said in English class. Just like you're not paying attention right now. "It was Natasha, the queen of sarcasm. A vibrant, quick-witted girl who had a smart-ass reply at the tip of her tongue, always ready to launch. I envied her the talent."No one asked you, Natasha. " The boy —Destiny— bit out, his jaw tightening in anger and embarrass

EVAVaughn caught me before I could hit the floor— although I could tell he would have preferred the latter—throwing me to the side and away from him with an annoyed grunt. I righted myself before I could make contact with the floor. Again.These guys treated me as though I was a rag doll. Henri walked in from an adjoining room just then. Their room was bigger than ours, very much so, in fact, that I knew that it had to be a suite. At first, he didn't seem to notice I was there, but then he did a double take and he froze. "Ah, the owner shows. " He drawled lazily. I wasn't surprised that Axel had discussed the incident with them. They were his close friends after all and they shared the same room. They were definitely going to ask."Go on, then. " He prompted, cocking his head in the direction of the room he just exited. "We'll be waiting for you to tell us what you had to do to get your phone back. " It was the light amusement in his voice that stopped me from panicking—and also

EVAA low, prolonged whistle rang out, causing me and Axel to fly apart as we realized we weren't alone in the room anymore. Axel landed on his ass on the floor from how fast he pulled away. He got up quickly, turning to face Alex, providing me a view of his body in profile. I looked away.Oh my God Axel had just been about to kiss me! And I was going to let him!I tried to calm my racing heart as I looked anywhere but at Alex, who didn't even seem all that surprised to have walked in on us almost kissing.Almost kissing! Jesus Christ what had I been thinking?!"I hate to intterupt your mini make out session or whatever the hell it is y'all were doing, but in case you haven't noticed —what the hell am I saying? Of course you haven't noticed— the suite is packed full with horny teenagers that would be safer acting out porn than playing an 'innocent' game. " he cocked a meaningful brow at Axel. "T or D ring a fucking bell? It was you and Henri's idea. How come y'all are acting surprised

EVA“Pucker up, asshole.”I blinked. And blinked again just to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me because what the hell was I seeing? I have never had reason to question the efficiency of my vision before. It was at least 96 percent accurate. But apparently, the 4 percent was coming in hard today. Because…“What the fuck?”More accurate words could not have been uttered at that moment.“Pucker. Up.”“Yeah. I heard you the first fucking time. What I don’t understand is why you’re telling it to me.”“I’m going to kiss you. Isn’t that obvious?”“You’re out of your damn mind.” Henri scooted back and away from Axel at lightning speed, like his ass was on fire. Axel followed quickly, closing the distance between them.The room was pin-drop silent and if I had to guess, everyone was asking similar questions in their mind; ‘Was Axel actually going to kiss Henri?’ ‘Was Axel crazy enough to go through with it if Henri let him?’Axel seemed pretty intent on getting that kiss and not

EVAZoe sat there, frozen. She was literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. I could almost see the wheels turning in her head as her eyes ping-ponged between Axel and the spot in front of him.She was probably plotting his murder this very moment and why wouldn’t she? Of all the dares he could come up with, he decided to dare her to go into a room with Alexander, of all people, for five minutes. Not like five minutes was such a long time, but when enclosed in a place with with a person you weren’t comfortable around, it could feel like ages.Alex and Zoe could barely stand each other.What exactly was Axel’s aim?He had this light in his eyes—the one he got when he was excited. It was the same light I saw in his eyes that day at the restaurant, when he talked about sports and his sister.If I wasn’t sure before, I was now. He had ulterior motives.This was more than just a dare.“Whats it going to be, Zoe?” Axel cocked his head. “Are you going to let a guy do body shots off yo
