Rook & Rebel (The Mavericks, #1)

by Kate Crew

“I’m sorry. Do you feel sorry for me?” I asked, finally snapping out of it. “I mean, more outraged for you, but yeah, he’s a pretty pathetic boyfriend. He should be here with his fucking fists raised.”

“Then congratulations, you’re about to be a rebel for what I can only imagine is the first time in your life.”

“Good choice, Rebel. You seem to have a brain. What the fuck have you been doing with Elliot?”

Aww nickname

“That you’re in a mood tonight and to keep you out as long as I can because he doesn’t want to deal with you.”

Not his friend playing matchmaker lol

“I didn’t actually try to rob her,” I said, pulling out more than enough cash to cover the cost and handing it all over. “I tried to rob her boyfriend. You can keep all the extra cash if you don’t call the police.”

Lmao 😅😂😂😂

“Rook!” she yelled, a weak attempt at scolding me. “Damn. I have to go. She’s already screaming my name. The money, Elliot. Don’t fucking forget it.” I clicked the call off and handed it back to her. “Don’t pick up for a while. He deserves to think you’re getting the best sex of your life with me after what he did to you.”

Oh myyyy

“Just say the word, Rebel, and I’ll give you something Elliot would never be able to.”

For the first time in a long time, my dull life didn’t seem so dull.

Rook represented everything wrong for me, yet I couldn’t stay away.

“You are such a brat. What were you doing here tonight, Rebel? Looking for me?”
