Her Dangerous Rogue Mates

I gave Jenny a polite nod, which she returned with a small smile. “And these are my roommates, Penn and Jenny,” Gavin added. “How rude!” Jenny pouted, feigning offense. I saw Lucy take a deep breath, clearly trying to keep her cool. It was obvious-she was jealous of Jenny. I mean, who wouldn’t be? If…

This wasn’t good. These two were never going to get along. “There you go,” Jenny said with a cheerful smile, doing a little shoulder wiggle. “Thank you,” I replied quietly, hoping to avoid upsetting Lucy. “You have such pretty eyes,” Jenny commented, her tone light and bubbly. I forced an awkward smile in response. “You…

She turned to me with a confused look, as if I’d just told a bad joke. “What floor?” she asked, her frown deepening. “The 10th floor. What’s the deal with it?” I pressed, watching her squint slightly, as though searching for the right response. But before she could say anything else, the elevator doors slid…

As his head was down, I noticed him briefly raising his eyes, his eyebrows furrowing for a moment. His gaze landed directly on me, and then he quickly looked away as if he just wanted to confirm I was there. He started the class by giving an introduction to the academy and explaining how and…

Not to Gavin,” I said, trying to explain what I had observed. I understood why Jenny might be trying so hard to fit in with us. Being Gavin’s roommate,…

After we were done, she left the bathroom so I could change. Later, she tucked me nicely into bed, but her body twitched slightly when Gavin stormed in with soup and fries. “She needs to eat; she’s too weak,” Gavin said softly. “Come on, Helanie. It’s not like you’re pregnant and can’t hold down food,”…

“Yet you’re the one who brought it up yourself,” I muttered. “Yeah, I didn’t want you to talk about it in front of Lucy,” he murmured, his voice soft, his eyes lowered like a guilty child who’d just broken something precious. “Why?” I asked, suspicious. “Eh, no particular reason.
