Beverly Hills Prep Academy The Complete Boxset : A Light Bully Romance

by Melissa Adams

  I see Knox’s dilemma and how hard he's thinking: it looks like Michelle had a pretty solid plan but I still don't understand why she was so hell bent on destroying me, so I ask her.

  “But why? I understand why Margaux hated me but we don't even know each other. I haven't done anything to you.”

  Michelle scoffs and explains.

  “Do you know what's the trouble with you Gen X or linksters or whatever they wanna call the generation born after millennials? You're all so fucking worried about showing to the world how cool you are on social media, that you forget the importance of history. And history is what matters here: a Richmond ruined my life by getting me expelled from BHPA. And when I found out that my sister's archenemy was a Richmond, I thought that this was my chance to get my retribution. Isn't it poetic justice? Your brother got me kicked out of school and that meant that my father froze my trust fund and no Ivy League college would even look at my applications. Now, you'll share my same destiny because all the evidence is against you and no one will ever believe you. I hope you rot in jail, twunt!’

  Knox is about to react but Margaux surprises me by intervening.

  “Michelle, I know I started this whole thing and God knows I wanted to split Devon and Aubrey up, possibly get Knox to quit dating her too. But I never intended for this to go this far. Is there a way to take this back? Aubrey doesn't deserve expulsion.”

  Michelle smirks cruelly.

  “You're a fucking pussy! All the time and effort I put into making you look good and teaching you how to make it to the top at school is fucking wasted! I used your ID to get into the school after hours and the anonymous tip is written on your monogrammed paper. And I hacked into the school security cameras, so there’ll be no footage of me ever being there. Since I’m not gonna confess, it's your choice: either the Richmond bitch will go down, or you can.”

  “I beg to differ! I see you haven't lost your cruel, manipulative streak and that getting expelled from the academy didn't teach you anything.”

  Alex, Sam, Tuna, and Ayla leave the changing room they were hiding in, followed by Devon, Teague, and Landon.

  Michelle’s gaze is full of hatred when she confronts my brother.

  “You fucking asshole! I’d say it's a pleasure to see you, but I’d be lying! What are you gonna do to save your little sister, huh? You aren't the head of the A-Team and you no longer rule BHPA. Your sister better accept her destiny and start looking at her options at community college because she certainly isn't getting into Harvard after being expelled from the academy. Unless Knox wants to rat his own little sister out.”

  Knox reacts immediately:

  “I’ll go to the principal and tell him everything! I'll tell him that you did it!”

  Michelle laughs at him.

  “Good luck, sweetie! It'll be your word against solid evidence. You have no proof that I’m involved. Accept that I won and you all lost. Alex, Sam, Tuna this’ll teach you not to cross me ever again!”

  My brother is about to retort something, but his girlfriend Ayla steps forward with a triumphant smile, setting her green eyes on Michelle.

  “This is where you're wrong, Michelle! You think you're so smart but like you got caught cheating last time, you'll pay for your actions this time too. When Knox kept saying that Margaux couldn't possibly be behind this, at first we didn't believe him but when we realised that he was your brother, we knew it could've only been your doing. So we were hiding in the changing room this whole time and I got you on tape admitting to everything and bragging about it! As usual, your need for attention is your downfall. You should've kept your mouth shut, I bet the school will press charges as soon as Mr McArthur hears this.”

  Ayla shows her smartphone, waving it mockingly at Michelle and Knox's older sister loses it completely, launching herself against Ayla with a loud shriek, trying to push her into the pool with the obvious intention to damage her phone.

  But Ayla’s faster than Michelle and steps out of the way, sending her old nemesis head first into the pool.

  Alex laughs at the sight and compares Michelle to a turd.

  “Someone please fish her out, I don't wanna be accused of caddy shacking the pool! Guys, did anyone call the principal?”

  Devon steps forward.

  “Mr McArthur and Coach Benson are waiting for us at school first thing in the morning to hear the evidence. But the principal has reassured me that as long as we can prove what I just told him, and we play in tomorrow night's final, Aubrey will be welcomed back with open arms and an apology.”

  Alex seems satisfied: he has one arm around his girlfriend and one around me.

  “Come on then, let's order that pizza, I’m starving. And you guys need to carb up for tomorrow's game. I can't wait to see you kick ass and to see my little sister cheer for the team!”

  Epilogue

  Six Months Later

  Hilton Head, South Carolina

  Aubrey

  I WAKE UP SANDWICHED between Devon and Knox and I stretch my pleasantly sore body, careful not to wake them up.

  They look so peaceful in their sleep and I decide to slip out of bed and go sit poolside to enjoy the warm but not stifling morning sun.

  I yawn and nod at my sister Abi, who's sitting on one of the poolside loungers, observing Chaz swim his morning laps.

  I normally join him but I feel too tired after last night.

  Abi smiles knowingly and asks:

  “You look happy. Did it finally happen?”

  I blush and nod under her inquisitive gaze, making her giggle.

  “Oh come on, don’t act all shy now! I wanna know if it was everything you hoped and dreamed. You're not allowed to act all reserved after you bugged me for months last summer to tell you how it was to make love to all my guys at once.”

  She's right, I was a real nosey brat, so now it's only fair that I share the details with her.

  Abi and I have no secrets, we share everything.

  Since my boys decided that I didn't have to choose, back in November, they’ve come a long way.

  I'm not saying that our relationship is perfect or that there aren't any challenging moments but the guys always put me first and they’ve truly become best friends.

  They enjoy each other's company, and they're building a relationship based on trust and respect, unless obviously there's pizza involved or a football is being thrown around, then they get feral.

  I couldn't feel more loved and cherished and while at first our sexual relationships progressed only on a one on one basis, around spring break there was the now infamous ‘hot tub incident’.

  I was at Knox's house and we were having sex in the hot tub, one night when we thought that we were home alone, with his parents and Margaux out of town and the guys going to a movie we weren't interested in.

  I remember it as if it was yesterday: Knox had taken my bikini top off and started kissing me passionately, his big, slightly rough hands cupping my boobs and teasing my nipples.

  I’d lowered myself onto him, straddling him and moving up and down on him, clenching my inner muscles around his hard shaft.

  That's when I realised that we weren't alone and my eyes met Teague’s blue ones.

  He was standing on the threshold of the living room patio doors in a pair of black swimming trunks and as soon as our eyes met, his hand dipped into his shorts, stroking himself while he looked at me and Knox.

  That immediately pushed me over the edge and after I recovered from an intense orgasm, I whispered into Knox's ear and we asked Teague to join us.

  I’d never felt as worshipped and cared for as I did having one of them kiss me all over while the other was inside me.

  That wasn't the only time Knox and Teague shared me, we ended up sleeping together quite regularly.

  I’d never really thought that I'd be into having more than one lover at once but with them it felt natural and they made me feel safe, sexy, and wanted.

  That's when I understood what Abi meant
when she told me that she wanted to be with all her guys at once: the moments I felt the happiest were the ones we spent together, all five of us.

  So if that worked for a dinner and a movie or an amusement park, why not in our most intimate moments?

  However I hesitated to open up about it with the boys, just in case that made them uncomfortable.

  I have no secrets with them, this is why my relationship with each of them is so amazing: we tell each other everything without judgement, and I know the boys have been growing closer with one another.

  But I felt reluctant to ask something like that because for example, I hadn't missed Devon's unease when I kissed one of the others in front of him, and Landon had a surprising possessive streak.

  A few times he really got off by asking me to tell him that I was his.

  I mean I'm sure it was a kind of passionate, dirty talk thing but I didn't miss the possible implications of it, so I didn't have the courage to ask him to share me that way.

  I confided in Knox and Teague about it and surprisingly, they didn't think that a scenario where they could all make love to me together was as impossible as I thought.

  And they were both right, it kind of happened naturally: last week I was watching a movie with Teague and Knox in my living room and they started kissing me.

  It started with sweet, languid kisses to my lips while the other one would kiss down my neck and shoulders but before I knew it, I was naked between them and while Knox entered me from behind, Teague was touching my centre, in the exact spot that makes me see stars in minutes.

  I had wrapped my hand around Teague's shaft and I was stroking him up and down in perfect sync with Knox's thrusts.

  We were all moaning without holding back, confident that we were the only ones home and we didn't hear the double patio doors opening as Devon and Landon came back from a run on the beach.

  “Fuck!”

  Devon’s cuss made us stop, frozen in shock but when my eyes met his, I was surprised not to see the anger I expected but a searing heat and his gaze roved down my body, stopping where it was connected to the other two guys.

  As we slowly disentangled our bodies, Knox and Teague didn't act guiltily but they were calm and composed as they passed me my clothes.

  Obviously we sat down to talk about what had just happened and Devon and Landon both had questions.

  “Was ... was this the first time you guys ... uhm ...”

  Landon was the first to ask and I answered that it wasn't.

  “No. The first time was a couple of months ago and after that ... it's happened a few more times when it's been just the three of us at home. We aren't trying to go behind your backs, Landon, nor were we trying to have our own thing.”

  Both guys seemed to consider my words when Devon asked:

  “So, would I be allowed to join you, if I wanted to?”

  Teague encouraged me to answer him, nodding at me, his hand briefly squeezing mine.

  “Yeah, of course. You ... you both would. In fact, Devon, after this started happening between the three of us, I wanted to ask you and Landon but I didn't know how. I was worried that you’d feel betrayed or weirded out. But I love you all with all my heart and as I love doing all sorts of things ‘together’, I don't see any difference when it comes to sex. That doesn't mean that we wouldn't still have one on one time.”

  Devon nodded.

  “I have to admit that what I just saw was fucking hot. And I won't lie to you that I’ve thought about it a few times when I was having ... ‘me time’. So, I’d be up for trying, provided that you three clowns understand that while I’ve started to love you, the only one I’m sexually attracted to is Aubrey.”

  Knox chuckled.

  “Ditto. For me it's all about making her happy and you guys are a part of that happiness. And I love you three ... platonically, of course.”

  Devon had come to sit near me on the couch and had kissed my lips lightly, wrapping his arms around me, while Landon hadn't moved or talked in a while.

  His blue gaze was fixed on me and I got instantly worried that this whole thing had hurt him.

  I was about to say something but he preceded me.

  “Sweetie, I ... I’m not mad, ok? I would be if you wanted this ‘sharing’ thing only with Knox and Teague. Then I’d feel betrayed. But I don't know if this is for me, if I can watch you while you're with them. I need to think about it. To see if it could work, ok?”

  I nodded at him: if you looked at my guys without knowing them, Landon's happy go lucky, jokester attitude, could give the idea of superficiality and impulsiveness.

  But Landon is actually the one that ponders things the most among my four boyfriends.

  Abi understands exactly what I mean.

  “Yeah, he’s like Pryce. They have this sunny attitude and they hide their depth. So what happened?”

  I explain that we didn't talk about it anymore as we got busy with graduation and the birth of our twin siblings last weekend.

  “As you know, we flew here straight after graduation yesterday. Thanks for inviting all of us anyway.”

  Abi smiles sweetly and explains that we're all family and Chaz and Pryce had been complaining that they missed me.

  “Reece and Max miss you too but you know how they're more reserved with their emotions. So they said they need to see you with all your guys to make sure that you're being treated like you deserve.”

  I giggle.

  “Typical them! They really adopted me.”

  Abi's look softens when she talks about them.

  “None of them has a sister and I’m afraid you're it. So, what happened last night?”

  “When we arrived, we found your note that you were spending the night in Charleston, so we went out for dinner and when we retuned to an empty house, Landon proposed a midnight swim in the pool. And things kind of progressed from there.”

  My big sister wants to know more.

  “And? Come on, don’t leave a girl hanging! Did you have them all at once, or did they take turns? Did they do stuff with each other?”

  Such questions from anyone else would make me react by telling them to mind their fucking business but this is Abi, so I lower my voice.

  “Well, kinda together. We haven't explored one of the possible ... avenues yet.”

  She laughs.

  “Do you mean no back door action yet?”

  I jokingly regard her question with an eye roll.

  “And you’re the one that went to boarding school with the nuns for most of your life!”

  She smirks.

  “Well, you know what they say about girls that go to catholic schools, right? Max got slapped right across the face for saying that to me once. But answer my question, Sis.”

  “No, we haven't yet. And we kinda talked about it but the guys agree that they should prepare me gradually for that, because they don't want it to be painful. But even so, last night was ... all about me in the best possible way. They worshipped every inch of my body and it was so hot to have two of them inside me and the other two watching was such a thrill ... I admit that if the guys wanted to kiss each other or other stuff, I wouldn't be mad but they made it clear that being together like this is about me, even for them. They all agreed that they aren't attracted to one another.”

  Abi is about to comment when both our phones ping with an Instagram notification: Daddy has been completely impossible since the twins were born last weekend.

  He's really semi-retired like he promised Mom and to the ones who don't know him, he's ever the doting Dad but for his adult kids, who have suffered through his absences and his impossibly high expectations, that's really shocking.

  “He’s gone completely crazy: I swear he posts a photo of Ava and Anders every hour.”

  “Yeah, maybe he’s already trying to find them a convenient match as part of one of his multi-billion dollar business deals.”

  I detect the bitterness in Abi’s voice and I can't really blame her: Daddy w
as always too busy for her and Alex and made them pay for their mother's drug and alcohol addiction by basically ignoring them.

  Alex grew up with nannies until he was taken in by Sam’s family and Abi had the worst fate, growing up in a catholic boarding school in the UK.

  And things really escalated between Daddy and my half siblings when their mother died last year and Daddy tried to marry Abi off to one of his future business partners.

  Luckily that turned out to be her boyfriend Reece but I can't blame her for her feelings towards Daddy, especially since he tried to do the same to me with Tyler not too long ago.

  However, since he found that the baby they were expecting was in fact twins, something changed in him.

  He tried to make amends with all of us and while I’ve mostly forgiven him, I understand that Alex and Abi are trying for the sake of Ava and Anders but I don't blame them for taking things very slow.

  The fact that we were all there for the birth last weekend, gives me hope that maybe they can forgive Daddy and that our new siblings will help us be a family.

  I look at Abi and I can't help but remind her that Daddy’s trying.

  “Give him time. I think almost losing all of us after the stunt he pulled with Tyler taught him a lesson. And he is trying, right? He waived that clause in Grandpa’s will that if me or you got married before our twenty fifth birthday, we’d lose our RGS shares and our trust funds. Baby steps, Sis.”

  Abi nods and smiles.

  “Yeah. We’ll see. It'll take time to trust him and to build a relationship with him and your mom but the twins are adorable, I can't wait to teach them not to take any crap from anyone, including Dad.”
