Graduation (Kingmakers, #5)

by Sophie Lark

I will see you again. I was simply offering you the courtesy of choosing the time and place …

They hate when you disagree with them, especially when you’re right. They hate when you don’t fawn over them. And most of all, they hate when you’re different than the picture of you they created in their mind.

They say I’m everything they ever wanted—then they want to change everything about me.

It’s a simple equation: men have the power. If men were good, the world would be good.

I’ve never been fooled by a woman—Sabrina Gallo has done it to me three times in one night. I don’t know whether to congratulate her or tie her up and throw her in my trunk.

“Who am I partying with? This can’t be the girl who just stole my bike.” Sabrina shrugs. “Why be one thing when you can be everything?”

“All I want to do is give you what you want.” She looks up at me, our faces inches apart. “I want it all.” My arm tightens around her. “Go and get it then.”

This is no angel fallen from heaven; the devil made Sabrina, and he knew what he was doing.

“If he took five minutes to look closer, he’d have told me that you’re brilliant and bold, and that you were made for me in every possible way.” She tilts her face up to me, but she doesn’t kiss me, only looking straight into my eyes. “You won’t like everything about me,” she warns. I kiss her, long and deep. “Yes, I will. I want all of you Sabrina—every single fucking thing.”

“So?” she says. “What do you think?” “I think I always want you on my team.”
