Fake Dating the Bad Boy for Revenge novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

38

The crowd erupted in hysterics as everyone bellowed in laughter at his response. Roxanne’s cheeks flushed red in embarrassment and rage. She reached over and grabbed Matt’s drink and downed it, with her eyes locked on me like she wished she could burn holes through my skin with the force of her stare

Lucien’s arm slid around my waist, pulling me flush against him without warning, and he crashed his lips to mine.

With wide eyes in shock, which elicited a whimper, he devoured my lips like it was his last meal after a long fast.

He didn’t just kiss me

–

he claimed me in front of the rich kids of Ravenscroft High for the third time. It wasn’t a soft or sweet kiss; instead, it felt like it was a dare, a brand, the kind of kiss that left no room for denial as people gasped, cheered, and filmed us.

When he pulled back, his eyes were dark, as he stared at me with heaved breathing, and a look that screamed ‘You’re mine.’

He whispered to me, “They still think I’m faking it, too, that I don’t want you.”

My pulse skipped in my arms at the tone of his voice. It was husky, warm, and full of command. “And?”

He smirked, slow and dangerous as he said. “Want to prove them wrong?”

Before I could answer, a crash split the air, as glass shattered somewhere on the other side of the house. Gasps rippled through the room as someone stood abruptly and yelled, “Check your phone,” and then, like wildfire, the whispers spread. Everyone stood with their phones out as they scrolled away.

I pulled mine from my clutch. The screen lit up with a group chat I didn’t remember being in. At the top was a photo.

It was of my grades…well, someone’s grades because this certainly wasn’t mine. The person made it seem like all I got in school were fails, and I was with

the king of Ravenscroft just to excel.

The caption read: ‘Guess tuition isn’t the only thing she’s working for.’

I froze as every cell in my body felt like it was trying to retreat inward, away from their prying eyes, their smirks, their silent judgment.

I was so focused on them that I didn’t even hear Matt’s footsteps until he stood in front of me.

“You should leave,” he said, voice pitched low, like we were still friends. His eyes flashed with what looked like concern, but I knew better than that.”Before

it gets worse.”

Something sharp and cold sliced through the humiliation as the pain of his betrayal burned deep and new all over again. “You mean before I ruin the performance you and your little actress started?”

Matt’s mouth tightened at my response as he stared at me in shock.

“You’ve”).”

“Yeah,” I said, stepping closer so my voice wouldn’t have to

“I stopped being stupid enough to think you cared about me.”

Lucien moved before Matt could answer. He didn’t touch him, not quite-but the way he stood, the way his presence swallowed the air, and the sheer power that came from being the king of the school, it made Matt a step back immediately.

“Touch her, and you burn for it,” Lucien said, his voice in a low grow!!

Roxanne’s laughter rang out again in front of us, but it

didn’t need to be loud to be dangerous or lethal to anyone who listened.

was thinner this time around as it stretched tight. “Wow. I didn’t realize I’d invited the circus.”

Lucien’s smirk was pure malice. “One rumor deserves another, remember? Let’s play, rat.”

She turned to him with anger in her eyes, ‘Rat? She asked, but Lucien didn’t spare her another glance.

And just like that, he turned to Theo– one of his horsemen– across the room. And with a single nod, Theo was on his phone.

Seconds later, the first gasps started; this time, they were louder and sharper as everyone’s phones buzzed, and they stared at their screens. My phone

buzzed again, but I didn’t need to look to know it was bad; everyone’s reaction was enough.

From the way Roxanne’s face drained of color, I knew it was worse.

She shoved past us, and Matt chased after her. Lucien’s arm tightened around me. “You fuck with her, you fuck with me. And you all know, my revenge burns

hotter than the fucking sun.

And then he kissed me again, harder than before, until the noise of the party blurred into nothing and all I could taste was fire.
