Broken Doll (Willow Heights Prep Academy: The Exile #4)

by Selena .

“Considering I hear we had our own little afternoon delight last year, I think I’d rather forget it was ever mentioned, too,” he says.

RIIIIGHHTT??

“Yeah,” Colt says with a smirk. “That’s what happened.”

lol y’all may be related, but WE aren’t. so pls sex me.

Colt gives her a slow once-over. “I wasn’t talking to you, sweetheart,”

you’re so hot bye

“Aww, look at that, she’s defending me,” Colt says, draping an arm over my shoulder. “I missed you, too, Teeny.”

I LOVE HIM SO BADLY I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES

“It’s okay, baby,” he says. “I like playing with fire, too, when it looks like you.”

when can i marry you.

“Hey, darlin,” Colt drawls, strolling across the grass to join us. “Skipping school on your first day, Teeny? I thought you were a nerd.”

the things i would do to fuck this man.

“Then you better run and make your man a sandwich,” Colt says. “Gloria Walton, bringing feminism back to 1950.”

why do i love everything that comes out your mouth

He snorts. “Yeah, I believe Baron Dolce about as much as I believe that Elvis is alive. He’s probably partying it up with Marilyn Monroe and my cousin right now.”

LMFAO

“Preston said he’d paid all your bills,” Royal says. “I’ll be damned if someone else is going to take care of you while I sit on my ass and don’t lift a finger to help. So, food and furniture it is.”

ily

“You said I was dead to you.” “I looked for you all summer.” “I wish I was dead to you,” I choke out. “I wish we both were. I will never look at your face without picturing the moment you’re dead and I can finally breathe again.” He steps toward me, but he stops, his fingers curling, as if he’s holding back from reaching for me. “Then let me breathe for you until you remember how. Because I’m not going anywhere, Harper.”

“I fucking loved you, Royal. Is that what you want to hear? You want me to lay my heart out for you to decimate that, too? I told you, I won’t fight. I already laid it out, and you smashed every bit of it under your bootheel until there’s nothing left to feel anymore. You may not believe me, because you don’t think anyone could love you, but you’re wrong. Someone could have. Someone did.”

When his eyes are as flat and solid as a prison wall, he nods. “You’re right,” he says, standing. “I won’t bother you again.”

W H A T

“He’s not a troll,” I say, giving her a funny look. “In case you hadn’t noticed, Colt’s hot.” Colt chuckles. “Oh, she’s noticed.”

i for sure noticed

“I can make you come whether or not you agree to it,” he says.

colt pls ily

“I was a member of the society before any of you,” Colt says smoothly. “Once a Swan, always a Swan.”

YASSSSSS AN OGGGG

“After all, we already fucked.”

…y’all did NOT fuck

“Lindsey’s my cousin,” Gideon says, finally meeting my eyes. “Thank you.”

AWWW

“Don’t put your hands on her,” he says, his voice low and filled with warning.

COLT FUCK MEEEEE

MrD: But we had so much fun last year, didn’t we, darling? BadApple: fuck off MrD: I did you a favor. You owe me a favor in return. I will collect.

damn preston i was JUST starting to like you and you went and fucked that up

Gideon is two years younger than me, plus, he’s so sweet I have to believe he’s never had his heart broken, and there’s no way I could be responsible for all that. He’s too good for me.

girl u always ignore the best guys like fine i’ll take him also, younger boys😩😩

I have no attraction to Gideon—of course not. He’s all wholesome and innocent. I like dangerous guys with tattoos who can rock my world and wreck my soul.

He laughs, leaning against the locker beside mine, looking totally relaxed and sexy with his tattoos on display, since we can wear WHPA t-shirts on Fridays. “Nah, babe,”

LORDDD I WANT THIS MAN SO BAD LIKE ID 100% TAKE HIM OVER UGLY ROYAL

“Fuck you,” I say to Mr. Dolce, turning back to the concession stand, where it’s finally my turn. “That could be arranged,” he says quietly.

WTHHHH

I catch Duke’s eye, and he holds up his red cup to me. I smile and mouth “good game,” to him, tipping my cup back at him.

aww

I get a beer and make my way over, and he high-fives me and pulls me in for a hug, lifting my feet off the ground. When he sets me down, someone else wants a high five, and he tucks me under his arm while he talks to the guy,

aw

Royal Dolce is leaning against the railing inside the screen, watching me.

ONG

“Why not?” It’s not Gideon who asks.

OH. MY. GODDDDDDDD.

“Guess we’re back to hating each other.” “I never stopped hating you.”

ok.

“I can,” I say, my throat aching as I force the words out. “I forgive you.”

oh my GOD??

She starts to protest, but he wraps his arms around her and kisses her.

my heart hurts so badly rn.

My chest caves in slowly, but I hardly feel it. Tears blur my eyes, but I don’t look away. Not even when he draws away, takes her hand, and pulls her toward the door, and they disappear inside the house together.

IT BURNS IT BURNS SO BADLY

“He’s been sucked into your orbit,” he says. “You were a passing sun whose gravitational pull was strong enough to pull him out of his solar system and into yours. Now you’re stuck with him. He can’t leave you alone. But I think you know that, Jailbird. I think you knew all along that men like Royal don’t love twice.”

“No,” I say. “Royal hates me.” “Maybe,” Baron says. “But it’s the kind of hate that makes a man crazy, that makes him kill a man for hurting you, bail you out of jail at three in the morning even though he’s the one who got you thrown in, haunt the streets at night looking for your ghost when you’re dead.”

“Got me out of jail.” “Who’d you think it was?”

AWWW HE BAILED HER???

“You’ll keep orbiting each other, your own little solar system with only two planets, until you stop fighting it,” Baron says. “The longer you resist it, the more damage you’ll do. Both of you.”

She looks confused, so I lean down, pulling my wet hair aside, and run my tongue up the side of Royal’s glorious cock.

I JUST GASPED

Then I kiss her again.

MY JAW IS TO THE FLOOR

He moves so fast, grabbing my shoulders and pulling me in. Before I know what’s happening, his mouth crashes down on mine.

YEEEESSSSDASSSSS

“You’re a sick, rotten bastard, and I can’t believe I ever let you touch me.” “I hate you, too, you fucking bitch.”

this is gonna be the BEST hate sex ever

“I’m not just going to kiss you, baby,” he says. “I’m going to fuck you, and you’re going to like it.”

Royal’s finger hooks through it, and he rips it out.

OUCH WHAT THE DUCK BRUH

“Shut that pretty mouth or I’ll fuck it right this time,” he growls back at me, leaning down to press his warm mouth against my ear. “You don’t call the shots anymore.”

😩😩😩

“Stay with me, baby,” he says. “I’m right here. Look in my eyes. Don’t go away.”

AWWWWWW

“We already got a DNA test,” he admits.

RUINED THE SURPRISE ASSSHOLE

“Not a match,”

what.

He grabs my face between his hands and pulls me in, kissing me hard on the mouth.

WHAT THE HELL

“So we’d leave the real Darlings alone,”

oh my GODDDD

“I don’t know,” Preston says with a shrug. “A lot of people want you dead.”

LMFAO

“For the last time, I have no fucking clue what you’re talking about, Harper.

hoooly hell……..who is mr.d…..

That was the first time I messaged you. I thanked you for saving Lindsey. That’s it. I’d never even heard of you before.”

THAT WAS YOU??????
