Page 168 of The Way I Hate Him
“Just wanted to see your reaction. It was everything I needed. Thank you.”
“You have issues.”
I just shrug. “So what do you want to do with the box? Feels weird to donate.”
“Feels even weirder to keep!”
I chuckle. “True.”
She quirks her lips to the side. “Is it weird . . . that I have the same vibrator?”
My eyebrows shoot up. “You have a vibrator? I wouldn’t peg you as that kind of girl.”
“Uh, don’t you remember? Matt couldn’t find my clit. I had to get off somehow.”
“True,” I say. “Do you have that vibrator here with you?”
She slyly smiles as she stands and carries the sex toy box to the closet, where she puts it on the top shelf. “I do, and I’ve used it.”
“Fuck,” I say softly.
“It’s my favorite thing ever. Gets me off in a minute or less.”
I wet my lips. “I want to see that.”
“Maybe you will.”
I nod toward the closet. “Why did you put the box up there?”
“Oh you know, something fun for Ryland to stumble across later.”
I laugh. “You’re evil.”
“Consider it payback . . . for you.”
“Finding his sister’s sex toys? That might be too much of a punishment.”
“Mmm. Think about it, Hayes. If Ryland hadn’t perpetuated that feud with you, and you’d made a move on me sooner, think about how many times your cock could have been in my mouth by now.”
“Can you not fucking say stuff like that?” I beg as I shift uncomfortably, trying not to think about that perfect mouth on my dick.
“Are you getting hard again?”
“Yes,” I say. “Jesus fuck, Hattie. Everything you do makes me hard.”
“Might want to get that checked out.” She moves to the dresser and starts picking up the picture frames.
“Maybe you should check it out.”
She dismisses me with her hand. “Enough, horn dog. We still have to finish packing these things and then head up to Target and the paint store. Get to work.”
I roll my eyes and grab one of the full bins and take it to the attic.

“Um,why is your shirt off and tucked in the back of your jeans?” Hattie asks as she sits cross-legged in front of a bin that she’s filling with some of Cassidy’s personal effects that she’s saving for Mac.
“Because the attic is hot, and I don’t want to be a sweaty mess since we’ll be going to stores after this.”
