“Sure thing, babe,”

“Don’t call me that.” I sigh.

“Why not? You’re mine now,” he says with a smirk.

“I’m really not though. I’m just using you for sex. You know, the same way you did,” I grumble.

“Use me all you want, babe, cause I’m all yours,” he says with a wink. Have you ever looked at someone and all you wanted to do was smash their face in? Yeah? Okay. Great! Because I do too every time I look at this ass.

“Whatever!” I snap. We’ve reached our lockers. I spin around to face mine and open it to get the book I need for Smith’s class. Ugh! That is the one teacher I wouldn’t have minded not seeing today.

Knox is leaning against his locker and his friends are in front of him. I almost forgot that they were even there to be honest. They’re all talking like this is normal and we’ve been doing it forever which makes me mad. I don’t pay attention to what the hell they’re talking about because I don’t care.

I hate this constant back-and-forth shit I’ve been having with Knox. I keep telling him how much I hate him and he keeps telling me I’m his. As if! I don’t know how the hell he thinks that’s going to work after everything.

He’s just acting like he always does, getting everything that he wants. Did I mention that I hate him for that too?Okay, Raine, enough of the damn back-and-forth inside your own damn head!

I pull my head out of my locker with my book in hand. Before I can make a move to step away, Knox gently wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me in closer to him.

My body instantly reacts to him and I hate it. He uses his other hand to brush away the hair on my face before holding the nape of my neck in his hand. His face is so close to mine now that I can feel his minty breath on my face. I’m barely aware of the hallway going quiet again because I’m hyper focused on him.

I’m holding my breath to see what he’ll do next, and so is everyone else. I look at his lips and he licks them in response. I almost let out a groan but manage to hold it in.

“Everyone’s looking at us,” I whisper.

“Let them,”

“Why?”

“Because I want them all to know that you’re mine and I’m no longer available,” he says with a wink.

“But how the hell are they going to know you’re taken?” I ask curiously.

“When I do this…” he says. He leans down so that our lips finally touch. He twists us a little so that my back is now against the locker and he’s in front of me. His kiss is hard and passionate. It definitely feels like a claiming.

I hear gasps and cries in the background but I’m too lost in him to look and see what’s happening.

“He’s kissing her?” I hear someone yell.

“He never kisses anyone!” someone else yells.

“This is so unfair!” another gasps.

Okay then… So, I guess they got the memo. When he finally pulls away from me, he doesn’t move far. He still has his head bent and he’s staring at me with an expression I can’t name.

“Tell me again how you aren’t mine, baby. You were made for me,” he says in a voice sounding like awe and revelation.

“Then why did you hate me?” I question, knowing I won’t get an answer.

“We should get to class,” he says, changing the subject like I knew he would.

“They’re all going to hate me more now,” I say with a sigh. The hallway is empty since the bell rang a few moments ago.

“No one is going to mess with you anymore. You’re mine now and I just made that clear to everyone,” he tells me like it’s no big deal. I want to believe him but who the hell knows if this is even real? I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop. This could all be another one of his devious plans.

Make me fall in love with him and then he’ll just break my heart more. If he only knew that he didn’t have to try. I fell in love with him from the first moment I ever saw him.

“We’ll see,” I respond.
