The Barnett Bulldogs

Roan King.

The uncrowned king of Barnett University. He's like a freaking celebrity around here. It's totally ridiculous. People, by which I mean grown women, actually stalk him on the internet. And around campus. Apparently, he's god's gift to both football and the ladies (I'm using that term loosely). All he has to do is smile and girls fall right onto their backs before spreading their legs wide. I've heard that he's already plowed his way through half the female population at Barnett. My guess is that he'll work his way through the second half before he gets drafted to the NFL later this year.

Yeah...I don't plan to be one of them. The guy is nothing more than a conceited player. You know the type—a steroid infused meathead coasting through college on his football prowess.

Ugh.

I have three words for you—avoid, avoid, avoid.

Need I say more?

I don't think so.

I've had the sad misfortune of running into him on campus. Literally. As in—I literally slammed into him before spilling my iced coffee all over that wide rippling chest of his (did I just say that?). What I learned from the experience is that Roan King is one hell of a cocky son of a—

I also learned that he has the most spectacular chest.

And don't get me started on those abs... I could probably cut diamonds on them.

Unfortunately for me, Operation—Avoid Roan King isn't going so well. Everywhere I go, there he is. If he wasn't so ridiculously hot, he would be a hell of a lot easier to forget. With his dark hair, shocking, turquoise-colored eyes and (damn him) buff body, he's easily the most gorgeous guy I've ever laid eyes on.

Crap...see what I mean?

I have the sneaking suspicion that Roan King will lead to my utter ruin and downfall.

Sam Harper and I have been best friends since we were fourteen years old. Unfortunately, he sees himself as my unofficial big brother. Which really means that the guy is a major cock block. I swear he has a sixth sense when it comes to me getting laid. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to be on the verge of sealing the deal only for your bestie to appear out of nowhere and ruin everything?

I have the sneaking suspicion that the guy enjoys messing with me.

Why else would he take such perverse pleasure in doing it?

Exactly.

What Sam needs is a girlfriend.

Someone to preoccupy him.

Maybe then he'd stop trying to ruin all my fun.

Except...I'm starting to notice things about Sam that I definitely shouldn’t be noticing. Like those piercing blue eyes that pin me in place. Or his short blond hair that I want to drag my fingers through. Not to mention those killer abs that I catch fleeting glimpses of when he stretches in class.  

These strange feelings are definitely starting to freak me out. I mean, we’re friends. We’ve always been just friends. And I don’t want that to change. I don’t want to take a chance and lose Sam. Next to my grandparents, he’s all I have.

What I need is for our relationship to slide back to the way it's always been. We have eight solid years of friendship behind us. That's not something you throw away on a bit of sexual attraction that’ll eventually fizzle out.  

No matter how tempting it is.

The moment he slides his muscular arm around my body and pretends to be my boyfriend, I know I’m in trouble. But inviting the guy I can’t shake loose home with us for a threesome? Yep, I’m done for. Especially when the guy in question, the one who just can’t seem to take no for an answer, all but sprints away as if the hounds of hell are nipping at his heels.

Now that it’s just the two of us, I can’t help but take a closer look at my rescuer. Sexy fauxhawk, rippling muscles, along with swirling patterns of colorful ink that decorate his arms. And my heart… it does this crazy little pitter-patter thing in my chest.

There’s just one hitch. Actually… it’s a pretty big hitch. He’s young. Way too young. I’m a twenty-nine-year-old second grade teacher and this guy can’t be more than twenty-two. I shouldn’t just be walking away- I should be sprinting. But I just can’t bring myself to do that.

Which is exactly how I end up in his bed at the end of the night. Three orgasms later and I’m sneaking out of his apartment at the crack of dawn. I know that I’m never going to see him again because this was strictly a onetime deal.

Although, you know what they say about best laid plans…

They never quite work out the way you expect them to.

Know what happens when you don’t bother dating all through college because you’re much too busy trying to stay on top of your classes?

I’ll give you a little hint…

It starts with the letter V and ends with irginity.

Ding, ding, ding… nailed it.

Well… at least something got nailed. Because it certainly wasn’t me.

Just to be clear, it’s not like I’ve been holding out all these years, waiting around for Mr. Perfect to ride in and sweep me off my feet. Nor did I take a sacred vow of chastity. It just kind of happened… or didn’t happen, as the case may be.

Know what’s even worse than that?

Wait for it…

Having the bad boy of the NFL, who also happens to be one of my brother’s teammates, offer to take care of that pesky little problem for me. Which is downright laughable, because if there’s one person I’m barely able to tolerate- it’s JT Higgins. He may be amazing out on the field, but he’s even more notorious for his bar brawls, drunken antics, and the women who flock to him in droves. It goes without saying that he’s keeping some clinic in business with swab tests and penicillin. I’ve had three long years of practice shutting down his every advance.

So ignoring him should be a piece of cake, right?

Wrong.

JT was given an ultimatum at the end of last season- clean up his act or get traded. For some odd reason, my brother Liam has decided to take him under his wing. So now the golden haired, green eyed mountain of muscle is around all the time. Sitting across from me during Thursday night family dinners. Knocking on the door and pushing his way inside when I’m babysitting my niece and nephews. Showing up at the shop where I get coffee on my way to school.

If all that weren’t bad enough, he has this annoying habit of watching me. What I’d like to know is when exactly did his gaze start to feel like a physical caress? It’s enough to make me scream. It’s also enough to send my pulse skittering and my resolve to the brink of shattering. Because this new and improved JT… the one who doesn’t whore around or drink, well- he’s more difficult to resist. Especially when all that sexy attention is focused solely on me.

One Night Stand

Liam

The moment she stepped foot through the door, she was on my radar. How could she not be? The woman is absolutely gorgeous. Thick, inky black hair and a sweetly curved body. Although I have to admit, this hole-in-the-wall dive bar doesn't exactly seem like her scene. For one, she's wearing too much clothing. Two, she's shooting down every guy that sniffs around her table like it's her sole mission in life. Casualties are scattered across the beer-stained floor as we speak. And three, my guess is that she's a little older than the usual college-aged crowd that hangs out here looking for a hookup to stumble home with at the end of the night.

After a careful assessment of the situation, my current plan of action is to keep my sights firmly locked on the target as I bide my time nursing a beer. Luckily, it doesn't take long for some drunken idiot to give me the perfect opportunity to step in and run interference.
