Page 8 of Hate That Blooms

He gently pushes me off of him, and before I can turn, he runs off.

Vete a la verga!(What the fuck!)Talk about leaving someone all hot and bothered.

A chill hits me and I reach up to my neck, feeling the wetness from his kiss linger on my skin. My mind replays it over and over again.Fuck, I need to find Isaac.I make my way back through the crowd to where Isaac was last, find him, and smile at him.

“You good,” he mouths.

“Yeah, I’m good.” I say back, giving him as much of a convincing smile as I can. He seems to buy it.

Two hours later the dance comes to an end, Isaac, the perfect gentleman, walks me to my car. We talk about everything and nothing, enjoying each other’s company. When we reach my car door, he hesitates momentarily before speaking.

“Thank you for tonight,” he says softly. “I’m glad you said yes to coming with me.”

I smile, feeling warmth spread through my heart. That’s when I notice he is leaning in, going in for a kiss. “Wait…” I hold my palm to his chest.

“Uh, did I read the moment wrong? Fuck, I’m sorry.” He scratches the back of his head nervously.

I nervously chuckle. “No, it’s okay. I just... wanna get to know you better before we do that.”Liar, you’re listening to the guy from the dance.

“Can I kiss your cheek?”

I bite my lip and think for a second.Fuck that guy. He isn’t going to control my life.I nod.

Isaac leans in and places a soft kiss on my cheek. “You’re beautiful, Gabriela. I look forward to getting to know you better.” He then opens the door to my car. “Drive safe and text me when you get home. So I know that you got home.”

“Okay. I will.” I stick the key in the ignition, turning it over. Isaac closes the door, waves, and starts walking toward his car.

My phone vibrates in my bra. Pulling it out, I go to my messages.

Already being a bad girl, Reina. I thought I told you nobody but me tastes you?

I guess you wanna be punished.

Chapter4

Joaquín

The feeling of the crisp night air bites against my skin, pulling me away from the confusing lust and anger that courses through my veins. I watch from Thiago’s car, the joint between my lips burning down, as that motherfucker kisses her cheek. It takes everything in me to not rush over there and beat the shit out of him. I already told that fucker that Gabriela is off-limits. I guess me threatening to break his arm didn’t scare him off enough.

So what does he do? He still goes to the dance with her and grinds on her ass.The ass that belongs to me even if she doesn’tknow it yet. Then the mother fucker kisses her.

Inhaling deeply to try and calm myself down, I pull my phone out and send her a text when the fuckboy walks away. I blow the smoke out, feeling the wave of calm flow through me as the weed starts to hit.

Already being a bad girl, Reina. I thought I told you nobody but me tastes you?

I guess you wanna be punished.

I look up and see her pan the parking lot. Luckily, I am far enough away that I’m not in her direct line of sight. I want nothing more than to go over there, drag her out of the car, bend her over the hood, and fuck the shit out of her.

You don’t fuck people you hate, Quín.

Are you scared yet, Reina?

Los Reyes no asustan a sus Reinas.

So now I’m her King. I’m not gonna lie; I like the sound of that.
