“Oh, God.” My hand goes over my mouth. Her words resonate straight to my heart. “Evan’s my stepbrother… And now, my professor.”

“Doesn’t matter. Because you still want him, don’t you?”

I’m so damn fucked.

DANGEROUS

“Let’s put a movie on while we wait for the pizza to arrive.” Sophia turns on the TV, turning the volume down. “I’ll find something we’ve both watched before. It’ll be good background noise while we chat.”

I take a drink of the iced tea Sophia brought me. “Sounds good to me. I always have the TV or music on when I’m studying. Otherwise, I fixate on weird noises that drive me crazy, like the refrigerator running or the clock ticking.”

“Same, girl.” Sophia pulls up Netflix. “What do you like?”

I see one of my favorite movies and squeal. “Scream. I love Billy Loomis.”

Sophia laughs. “Great choice. Billy’s hot, but I always loved Stu. His sense of humor gets me every time.”

I grin, holding up my glass of iced tea. “Sounds like we found our men… I mean, our movie.”

Sophia laughs. “At this point, Billy and Stu seem less dangerous to our hearts than Evan and Trent.” Turning the movie on, she settles back on the couch, turning to me. “I got off topic when I started babbling about Trent and me, but… I assume something happened between you and Evan tonight? You looked upset when you raced here.”

A long sigh comes from my lips as I pick at the hem of my shorts. “I went to his office after I walked you to class. His door was open, and I burst in. Malibu Barbie was rubbing all over him.”

“Who’s Malibu Barbie?”

“Some girl named Jenna. Long blonde hair, big green eyes, pouty lips from too many injections, and huge fake tits. I’m sure her lips are hellua useful for sucking dick. Her boobs could be used as a weapon though.”

Sophia nearly spits out the iced tea she just took a drink of. “Sounds like Jenna Astor. She and Evan had an on again, off again thing going for years.”

My hand tightens on my glass as jealousy rages through me. An image of Jenna runs through my mind. Gorgeous hair and face, long lashes framing big green eyes, and a perfect body with huge boobs. Insecurity barrels through me like a freight train.

Evan fucked her? Why would he remotely want me?

Sophia’s eyes bore into the side of my face, but I can’t look at her. Jealousy and insecurity swims through my veins as I clench my teeth. Images of Evan and Jenna fucking cause bile to rise in my throat.

“Lexi, that’s in the past.” Sophia’s hand on my arm pulls me from my torturous thoughts. “Don’t worry about what he did before he met you.”

“I shouldn’t be worrying about him at all, Sophia. He’s my stepbrother and now, he’s also my professor. It’s so wrong…” I bite my lip, feeling the sting of the tears prickling behind my lids. “Even if we weren’t related, she’s better for him than I am. She’s a part of his world and I’m not.”

“Lexi.” Sophia slides closer to me. “Stop it. Jenna is wealthy, but she’s as vapid as they come. She’s a miserable bitch with zero substance.”

A small smile pulls my lips up. “The second I laid eyes on her, I didn’t like her.”

Sophia grins. “You’re an excellent judge of character. She’s an entitled brat who hides her insecurities by tearing down others.”

I nod, chewing on the side of my thumb. “You said Evan and Jenna are on again, off again.”

She cocks her head, her expression quizzical. “I did.”

Turmoil swirls inside me. “What would stop Evan from being with Jenna again, now that…” I can’t finish the thought.

Sophia’s smile is wide. “You. I’ve been around the two of you in class and lemme tell you, I’ve never seen anyone get under Evan Whitmore’s skin like you do.”

I giggle, my spirits brightening. “I enjoy aggravating him. It’s fun pushing his buttons.”
