Giving In (Stoneview Stories, #1)

by Lola King

If you are a fan of alpha assholes full of flaws and if you are a fan of love so wrong that it feels right, then this book is for you.

No one can make me feel as safe as Nathan does. He’s my anchor, he’s my prince charming. He saves me from the nightmares, from the bad guys, from the trauma I endured in my life. He protects me like no one ever has.

Jake is the epitome of darkness. The kind you’re happy to drown into. The kind that calls your name and you fall into without an ounce of regret.

They always make sure to cut their powder with their black amex. The lifestyle of the rich and famous.

“I’ve re-organized the class this year.

Oooo hell yea

“I think we’re going to have fun this year, Jamie,”

This morning I didn’t even know who she was and right now I’m struggling to tear my eyes away from her.

That’s my twin, talent runs in the family.

Jake White is the golden boy of Stoneview Prep. No matter how much trouble he gets in, he always gets away with it. Everyone, everyone loves him. If they knew how cold he can turn, I’m sure that would be a different deal.

They might as well have been assassins before they joined our school.

This girl is trouble, I can see it coming from miles away.

This is my territory, baby, you’re just a little sheep that walked right into the wolf’s den.

I’m pretty sure this is what the devil looks like. Forbidden, desirable, magnetic.

Wait. Am I gay?

She gets the sweet guy whose worst flaw is that he struggles to stay faithful. I get the devil that drags you to the woods and threatens you with a gun.

In an unexpected gesture, he pulls my head closer to his and drops a soft kiss on my temple.

Oh, Angel, you have no idea how bad you fucked up. No idea what’s coming onto you.

He lets out a sarcastic chuckle. “Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. What am I gonna do with you?” He shakes my head lazily as he repeats my name. “How many warnings can I give before I start acting on my words, huh?”

“It’s cute but you don’t know me, Jamie. You don’t know what I’m capable of. I’m a predator, do you understand that? I always get what I want, fighting only makes it more painful.”

Jamie fucking Williams, I need to have her. To control her. To break her.

“Whatever, he makes you wet, Angel, and so do I. I want you between him and I. So, you keep your pretty mouth shut and let me do what I want.”

I move slightly, trying to slowly get away from Jake but he stirs and tightens his hold on me. “Don’t mind them, happens every weekend. Go back to sleep,” he says in a sleepy voice.

“It’s not ugly Jamie, it shows you’re a survivor. It shows you’ve been through the worst and still came back stronger. You’re a warrior,” he smiles.

“I’ve been trying to get you out of my head for weeks, Angel, and yet my thoughts keep going back to you. I think I’m really going to have to fuck you out of my system, making you come didn’t work.”

“In your dreams,” I spit. “We do so much more in my dreams, Angel.”

“And next time, I want you to tell them that you’re mine, and I don’t share.”

“I broke up with Camila for you.”

“I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing to me, Jamie, but I can’t stop thinking of you. I’m pretty sure I dreamed about you every single night this week.

“You barely ate anything today, Angel. I can’t have my pretty girl starving.”

“I love your laugh, you know that?” he says in the sexiest voice. I hide my face in my hands. I can’t handle a compliment. “Stop,” I laugh. “Never,” he says as he spreads kisses everywhere on me. “I’ll never stop worshipping you.”

That the control she has over me scares me more than anything else. That I can’t control my heart or my brain when she’s around. I need to tell her everything I feel for her. A flash of hope crosses my mind and I smile as I run after her.

“I went too far. I lose control around you. The truth is, I’m scared of losing control because I never had any growing up. I was abused by a man that still haunts my dreams. I’m still healing. I’m still struggling but when I’m with you, everything is better. Please, Jamie. I…I fell in love with you. I don’t know when it happened, I don’t know how. I just know I did. And if there is even a small chance of you possibly loving me back. Please, please give in to that chance.”

“N-Nate?” I choke. That’s impossible. How much did I fucking drink? “Jake,” he smiles. That wicked smile only the devil himself has perfected. “How have you been, brother?”
