Until Him (Inevitable, #1)

by Cora Rose

“I’m sorry, you did what?” my best friend, Finn, asks as I sink into the couch in the small living room we share. It’s a small one-bedroom apartment off campus that’s sparsely furnished. Not that we really spend much time here. I’m usually in class or in the water, and Finn spends every free second with his other best friend—my brother, Landon. I groan and rub a hand down my face. Finn is never going to let me live this down. Hell, I don’t even know if I will let myself live this down. I am selling my body for tutoring services. Is this a new low? Because it kind of feels like it. Although, I’m not as upset about it as I probably should be. “You heard me the first time. Don’t pretend like you didn’t.” He sweeps a lock of his shaggy brown hair out of his eyes and then crosses his arms over his broad chest. The two of us play on the same team and have been friends since middle school. We’ve been inseparable for years, even choosing to be college roommates. So, he knows me, and it shouldn’t surprise me how well he can read me. “How the hell did you manage to get yourself into this?” he asks, cocking his head and watching me intently. Take a good, hard look, buddy. I’m just as confused as you.
