Gather a sample of Hunter’s DNA.
Maybe get closer to the three of them? Gavin kind of hates me after the fiasco at his place that time. And if the rumors about his sister’s banishment and social suicide are true, I don’t suspect he’ll ever warm up to me. I don’t think I’ve seen Isabella on campus since the day she sent people to drug me.
The other two pretend I don’t exist.
Actually, most players do the same except for Preston, who loves to harass me every time he sees me, and Jude, who glares at me for no reason. I’m starting to think that’s his default mood.
Twirling my pen, I’m considering ways to acquire Hunter’s DNA sample when my phone vibrates.
I startle, kicking my thighs against the table, and I drop my pen.
Kane
See you tonight at my place.
I narrow my eyes. Maybe it’s because I’m sick and tired of his entitlement, but I type:
Me
No, thanks.
?
???
Are you being sarcastic?
Idk, will you try to communicate better?
What does ‘No, thanks’ mean, Dahlia?
It means no and thanks. Have you lost the ability to read?
What the fuck are you playing at now?
I’m not playing. I just need time off. You know, so I can recover properly and mentally prepare myself for your asshole behavior after you blow your load.
Since when do you care how I treat you after?
Since now. It’s one thing to degrade and humiliate me during sex, but afterward is different. I don’t like the cold shoulder and the clipped communication. I’m not your booty call.
That’s exactly what you are. And I won’t give you the cold shoulder when you know your place and stop being nosy.
I bite my lower lip. He’s right. Kane never promised me anything but sex. I don’t even know why I’m being this butthurt about it.
He means nothing.
In reality, I hate him and where the hell he came from.
You’re just another dick who’s fairly decent at fucking, so I’m glad we’re on the same page.
Decent? Is that what it’s called when you shatter on my cock multiple times a night?
I said what I said. Anyway, I still don’t want to see your face for, like, three days. It’s tiresome.
Don’t make me act uncivil.
Isn’t that your default setting?
