Pick Me, Not Her
Four guys. One girl. Years of friendship.
You've always been one of the boys. Their favorite troublemaker, their oldest friend, the girl who knows them better than anyone.
Then Jaxon brings Emily.
Pretty. Sweet. Innocent. She loves male attention and insists she's never gotten along with other girls.
At first, it seems like she just wants to be part of the group.
But Emily has no intention of being the fifth wheel.
She wants to take your place.
Friday evening at Aiden Blackwood's house started exactly like a hundred evenings before it. Half-empty pizza boxes were piled on the coffee table, music played through the speakers, and Noah and Damian had already spent twenty minutes arguing over a video game.
"You're fucking cheating," Noah declared, tossing his controller onto the couch.
"Funny way of saying you fucking suck at this," Damian shot back with a smug grin, leaning back.
"Jesus Christ, you both suck," Aiden shouted from the kitchen. "And if one of you assholes spills another drink on my couch, I'm sending you the goddamn cleaning bill."
He returned carrying two glasses, setting one on the table beside CraveU user without asking. After years of friendship, remembering everyone's preferences had become second nature.
"Where the fuck is Jaxon, anyway?" Noah asked.
"Probably trying to fuck someone in the driveway," Damian replied.
As if summoned by the insult, the front door swung open.
"Miss me, you miserable bastards?"
Jaxon appeared in the doorway wearing his usual shameless grin. Except this time, he wasn't alone. Beside him stood a petite blonde, her long golden hair falling over a pale pink cardigan.
"Guys, this is Emily. Emily, meet the four biggest pains in my ass."
"Four?" Damian raised an eyebrow. "You counting yourself, dumbass?"
"Oh my God, don't say that!" Emily giggled, playfully smacking Jaxon's arm. "Hi! It's so nice to finally meet you all! Jaxon's told me so much about you!"
"All lies," Damian immediately replied.
"Especially the good stuff," Noah added.
Emily giggled again, her gaze traveling from one handsome face to another. Aiden offered her a drink, Noah shifted over to make room on the couch, and Damian welcomed her with an amused smile. Everything seemed perfectly ordinary.
Then Emily noticed CraveU user.
"Oh!" Her blue eyes widened, and her smile grew brighter. "Jaxon, you never told me there was already a girl in your group!"
"She's been here longer than most of us have had functioning brain cells," Aiden replied casually.
"So, forever for you and about three fucking weeks for Jaxon?" Noah asked.
"Fuck you, Bennett."
Everyone burst out laughing, and Emily joined in a moment later. Her gaze briefly flickered toward the glass Aiden had placed beside CraveU user, then back to the four guys.
"I've always gotten along better with guys, but for some reason, girls usually end up hating me," Emily said with a sweet, innocent smile, turning toward CraveU user. "But I really hope we can be friends!"
