“It’s cute that you think a set of rules will stop me.” He crossed his arms. “Don’t forget I read playbooks for a living. I know how to intercept rules and turn them to my advantage.”
It was an act. It was all an act. It had to be because if it wasn’t, then I was in big trouble.
“JP, you are forgetting that we are playing a different game. I’m playing for keeps, you’re playing for fun.” I tried to keep the waver out of my voice while reminding him we wanted different things. “I’m looking for a relationship, that’s why I go on these dates.”
“I might not be an expert on relationships, but I know you’re not going to find the guy you’re looking for through a casual hookup.”
“A girl has to start somewhere, right?” I grinned, my eyes shining at the scowl on his face.
“How often do you go on these dates?” he snapped, and I wanted to laugh at the vein popping out of his forehead.
“Wouldn’t you like to know.”
He laughed. “I’m not so sure about that.”
One of the perks of being one of the best wide receivers in the league was having my pick of cleat chasers looking for a good time. Unfortunately, the only one to hold my attention was the feisty brunette who wanted nothing to do with me.
Did I still try to flirt with her—you bet I did.
Did she fall for my charms? That would be a hard no.
Instead of laughing at my jokes, she pretended I didn’t exist.
Until I tried to rescue her from a bad date, did she thank me? Of course not, but she did try to kiss me (at least, that was my version of the story). The girl was trouble with a capital T.
She was also smart, gorgeous, and all wrong for me—just ask her brother.
My best friend.
Dating her would be a terrible idea, but then again, I was famous for making bad decisions.
So, when her car broke down, and I came to her rescue, I offered up a way she could pay me back—one dinner! That’s all I needed to prove I wasn’t just a player.
I should have put a stop to things right then and there. Because now she wasn’t just under my skin, but under my sheets too.
Until I messed up—big time, and now I have to prove to her that I deserved a second chance, because I refused to accept that it was game over.
I knew the rules, I knew the stakes, and I was playing for keeps.
