Like You Hate Me (Hawthorne University #1)

by Bethany Winters

“Wipe that stupid look off your face, party boy. I still hate you.”

I’m done playing. I’m fucking done letting him break me.

“I don’t want you to forget,” he whispers, holding my gaze as he blinks the fresh tears from his eyes. “I just want you to love me anyway.”

“I don’t love you, party boy,” I say, channeling every ounce of hate I have left. “It’s just a game.”

“You win, Nate. I hate you just as much as you hate me.”

“He’s everything, you idiot,”

I’m getting my boy back whether he likes it or not.

“You better be right here waiting for me when I get back.” “Why?” “So I can fuck that bratty attitude out of you.” “Yes, sir,”

“I love you,” he finally says. “I’ve always loved you.” “I know,” I tease, brushing my lips against his. “I just wanted to hear you say it to me.”

“Fuck me like you love me.”

“Baby, nobody’s prettier than you,”
