"Oh God, oh shit. Did we . . . sleep together?" I ask, horrified.
Jacob looks back at me, eyes wide. "Fuck."
Rachel's gonna KILL me. Fuck, I might as well kill myself, considering the fact that I just slept with Jacob Ryder, the one guy I hate the most... what the hell am I gonna do now?

Emma Jenkins has never been one to shy away from parties. Loud music, hot guys, unlimited drinks, and an excuse to wear a minidress - what's not to like? Seeing Jacob Ryder - the star quarterback/bad boy/big pain in the ass - is not a surprise. But actually talking to him, drinking with him, and accidentally going home with him? Yeah, that's a problem. That one night was good, great even, but again - this is Jacob Ryder, she'd rather be plotting ways to annoy the heck outta him than spend time with him. But he doesn't see it that way - he likes the sex and so does she, and she can't stop herself from agreeing to keep this 'arrangement' going,
Jacob Ryder couldn't care less about what Emma thinks about him. The girl gets on his damn nerves every single time they meet, but their chemistry is undeniable... All that changes after a drunken mishap, when he has the best night of his life with the one girl he loves to hate. One thing turns to another and they have a deal:
They keep using each other until one eventually decides to end it for good reason.
The only thing neither Emma nor Jacob expected was developing feelings.
~ Engaging with the enemy never felt so good ~
