I take the last step onto the rooftop, butterflies fluttering in my stomach as cool night air rushes over my skin. The space is dimly lit, the stars above doing most of the work, casting a soft glow over everything.

And then I see him.

My heart skips a beat.

Kai is already here. Waiting for me.

He's facing away from me, leaning against the low wall, his gaze fixed on the city stretched out ahead of him.

I let my eyes roam shamelessly from his head to toe. He’s changed out of his gear, stripped down to nothing but a pair of shorts. My eyes linger on his broad bare back, the strong lines of muscle flaring out like wings before drifting lower, to the sharp V that disappears into the waistband of his shorts, exposing those little dimples sitting right above his hips.

I swallow hard.

How is one man allowed to be this unfairly attractive? He looks like he was sculpted for the female gaze, like he was meant to unravel me without even trying.

I wanted a moment with my man, and now I have

    AVAI take the last step onto the rooftop, butterflies fluttering in my stomach as cool night air rushes over my skin. The space is dimly lit, the stars above doing most of the work, casting a soft glow over everything.And then I see him.My heart skips a beat.Kai is already here. Waiting for me.He's facing away from me, leaning against the low wall, his gaze fixed on the city stretched out ahead of him. I let my eyes roam shamelessly from his head to toe.

    AVAI may not know much about football like other people do. I don’t know all the rules, the formations, the drills they practice until it becomes muscle memory, or the skills they execute on the field. But I do know that whatever is happening on that field right now matters.Even Gemma has gone quiet. She’s been whispering and laughing with Blake since kickoff, but now she’s frozen beside me, eyes glued to the field. No jokes. No annoying giggles. Just tensed like everyone else's.It’s the final game. The one everyone’s been waiting for. The final game of the Iron Crest Bowl.The game has been going on for over three hours now. It’s almost nine p.m., and there’s only 01:45 left on the clock.I drag in a breath. The reason everyone is on edge, the reason my hands won’t stop shaking is glowing right there on the scoreboard.24 – 25.We’re losing. The other university is beating the St. Wynters Titans by one point. One damn point.The Titans started strong — brutal, focused, and unst

    KAII let out a low groan.If I really wanted to take my girl right here in this storage room, I would. Not even the fact that the head coach and my teammates are just a few steps away would be enough to stop me.But Ava’s right.This has to wait.Until the final game is over, when there’s no pressure sitting on my shoulders. When I can do whatever I want with her, when she’s relaxed and completely free to moan my name as loud as she wants. Something tells me it’s going to be even better then. Because by that point, the wanting is going to be unbearable for both of us. I’ll be starving for her. Worse than I am now.So I exhale and force myself to loosen my grip, and reach for the door. I pull the door open and let her slip out first, my gaze lingering on her for one last second then I follow her back to the main area of the locker room. Of course all eyes are on us the second we walk in. I catch a few smirks and a couple knowing looks. I can feel Ava pressed against me, so I lace m

    AVA My heart is hammering in my chest — fast, uneven, almost panicked, and my pace only keeps getting quicker. By the time I reach the entrance to the locker room, the words St. Wynters’ Titans stamped boldly across the door, my pulse has become a full-blown mess and I’m struggling to catch my breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. I can’t just storm in there to see the love of my life while wheezing like an antelope that barely escaped a speeding car. But to be honest, what choice did I have? Sprinting from the stadium to the locker room feels like fair punishment for waking up late and showing up halfway through the Iron Crest Bowl. When I finally found Gemma and Blake after searching the packed stadium for what felt like forever, I handed Gemma the hot chocolate and chips she wanted. That’s when she told me I’d missed him. That Kai had already headed to the locker room with his teammates. I didn’t wait for her to say anything else. I didn’t even ask whether they won the mornin

    SASHAI’ve lost Kai.The truth I’ve been trying so hard not to believe finally stares me down, ripping away every last bit of denial and forcing me to confront the one thing I’ve been avoiding.“I’ve lost him,” I mutter under my breath, staring at his back like an idiot until he disappears into the locker room and the door slams shut behind him.The hallway feels too big all of a sudden. Too loud, even though it’s nearly empty except for a few players drifting through in their football gear. My fingers curl into the fabric of the jersey I’m wearing, the one I put on just to see if he’d be impressed, or maybe smile at me with those pretty dimples of his. But he didn’t even really look at me. Not for more than two seconds.And that's when I know. I've lost him. Where did it all go wrong?I never really believed I’d lost Kai. Not even when he got into a real relationship with Ava. I kept convincing myself it would be temporary. He was never the relationship type, he was the kind of guy

    KAI“You were really good today, Kai. I mean, you’ve always been great, but this morning? You were on another level. Scoring eighteen points out of the team’s thirty-eight? That's insane. You’re the best.”I nod, a small smile tugging at my mouth but it fades almost immediately.The girl in front of me is wearing a white jersey with my number splashed across it. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her before, probably just another fan. She keeps piling on the compliments, and yeah, it feels good. Most girls who come up to me only gush about how I look when I play, how toned my arms are, my shoulders — all that crap.But this? She is talking about the game. About the work. The actual performance. It feels good. It really does.Still, my attention drifts away from her.Because all I can think about is how much better it would’ve felt if my girlfriend had been there instead. How it would be if those pretty brown eyes were the ones shining up at me right now, telling me how well I played against
