COLLINS’ POV
To say I was pumped about being the new assistant coach was an understatement. I had worked for this day for so long and it was finally here. I couldn’t wait to get on the field with these boys after school and see what they’ve got.
I was unpacking my gym bag, tossing my stuff into the locker assigned to me when I swear I heard the locker room door open. When I stopped to listen and heard nothing more, I continued to unpack, opening the locker just below mine for extra space.
Then I saw someone out the corner of my eyes and whipped my head in their direction. However, it wasn’t one of the boys coming in. No, it was a very gorgeous brunette woman. I blinked a few times before I asked, “Um, are you lost?”
She jumped and turned toward me. If she hadn’t been wearing the school’s cheerleading uniform, I would have mistaken her for one of the faculty members. She definitely didn’t look like a senior in high school. Hell, she didn’t even look like any of the women I went to college with. She was much more gorgeous and mature-looking than any woman I’d ever seen.
Her eyes scanned me up and down and I swallowed. She looked like trouble with a capital T. Her long brunette hair and perfect skin was distracting and I had to get my shit together. She was the type of girl that could get me fired if I wasn’t careful.
“You scared me!” She teased and I highly doubted it. She looked like she knew exactly what she was doing and knew that I was in there.
“I think you’re in the wrong locker room.” I looked around to see if anyone else was in there, not wanting to get caught with this girl wearing the smallest cheerleading uniform I had ever seen. Were those the actual uniforms?! Good lord!
“I think I’m actually in the right place.” I watched her eyes look me up and down in an appreciative manner and I cleared my throat, feeling a bit uncomfortable under her stare.
“I think you should leave. The girls’ locker room is next door.” Seriously- she needed to get the hell out of there.
She cocked her head playfully. “Oh, I know where it’s at. However, you’re not in there.” She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and I won’t lie and say it didn’t affect me. My heart hammered in my chest and I actually felt my dick swell slightly in my gym shorts. Shit. Shit. Shit.
“This is weird. I need you to leave. Please don’t make me give you detention on my first day on the job.” I scratched the back of my neck, looking anywhere but at her. I hated how attracted I felt toward this young girl.
“I’ll take detention if you’re running it,” she laughed.
Anger swam through me at both her and myself. “What’s your name?” I asked, wanting to know who this girl was. If she was acting like this with me, there was no doubt in my mind that she didn’t act like this with others. The girl didn’t even know my name and she was throwing herself at me.
“Names aren’t important,” she purred out, stepping closer to me until she was so close I could smell her sweet perfume. Her hand came up and ran down my chest and stomach seductively, sending a bolt of excitement straight into my pants. “You’re the new coach, yeah?”
I grabbed her wrist hard and stepped away from her, trying to get my bearings about me. “This is very inappropriate. Do you make it a habit to come into the guys’ locker room to hit on your elders?”
She giggled and it was actually really sexy. Damn it!
“You catch on quickly,” she joked.
The locker room door from the gym opened and voices filled the room. My heart sank straight into my stomach as anxiety filled me. I couldn’t be caught with this little harlot on my first day on the job. Jesus Christ.
She looked at me with a knowing glance as she said, “See you on the field, Coach.” And then left with a wink.
My heart was thundering in my chest as I stared after her.
What the hell was that?!
I was in big fucking trouble.
SAIGE POVAs I stood in the girl’s locker room, I noticed some of the cheer team was staring over at me and whispering.We weren’t all fans of each other and had our own cliques, but how rude!Kora walked over and glared in their direction.“What’s wrong, girls? Are you feeling jealous of her?” Kora was very blunt and didn’t take shit from anyone. That’s what I loved so much about her.They immediately looked away from us with an eye roll and I grinned at Kora.“Thanks, girl.”I may have looked and acted like I was this confident girl, but deep down I wasn’t. Kora had pointed out on more than one occasion that I sought attention from guys to boost my confidence and she wasn’t wrong. It was also the reason those girls were just whispering about me. Rumours flew through the female population in this school to keep your boyfriend away from me and it was fair to say that. I didn’t care who he was or wasn’t dating unless it was Kora. That thought process didn’t exactly make me popular among
SAIGE POVAs Coach Collin pushed through the locker room door, I tried to slow our walking down. I liked the feeling of having his strong arm around my waist, his hand touching my bare skin at my hip. His smell was intoxicating and I knew he’d be letting me go soon enough so I was trying to revel in his scent just a bit longer.“Let’s set you down here,” Collin stated as he pointed to the wood bench between a row of lockers. “I’ll go grab the first aid kit.”After he helped me sit down, he disappeared behind the lockers and I grinned, trying to figure out what to do next. I really needed to get this guy’s attention. He was playing hard to get.He came back a moment later and kneeled down in front of me, popped open the first aid kit, and grabbed an ace bandage.“Let’s see what we’ve got here.” He grabbed the back of my calf and rested my leg on his knee as he pulled off my shoe. I hissed through my teeth for good measure, trying not to laugh.I had slipped my other foot out of its sho
SAIGE’S POVThe house was quiet when I entered; I was thankful that I could go to my room without being seen. But, I wasn’t so lucky when I heard some shuffling from the kitchen.“Mom?” I called out, waiting for a reply. Her head popped out from around the corner as she glared at me, her eyes going down to my “hurt” ankle but she didn’t comment on it.“What are you doing home so early? I don’t normally see you until after the sun has gone down.” She sounded annoyed that I was home.“I got hurt at practice. TJ brought me home.” I walked into the kitchen, noticing that my mom was wearing her silk robe which only meant one thing. “Who’s the douche bag you brought home this time?”“None of your business,” she snapped.I rolled my eyes at her. “Whatever. I’m going to my room.”After leaving the kitchen, I headed down the hallway to my room but before I could make it unseen, my mom’s bedroom door opened. A guy who looked closer to my age stood there staring at me with desirous eyes.“Hey,”
SAIGE'S POV Nightfall had finally arrived, landing me in TJ's back yard among my peers with a drink in my hand.Kora hadn't arrived yet so I was going solo until she got here; if I could even last that long. These drinks were going down like water and my head was already buzzing.I felt someone sit down next to me but I was ignoring them. I was in no mood for anyone's shit tonight."Hey, Saige," a guy rasped out next to me.The hairs stood up on the back of my neck. I knew that voice.I turned to find none other than Gabe Steel sitting next to me. He graduated last year and has been on the road with his band ever since. I was literally obsessed with this guy for months last year. He was always untouchable to me because he had a girlfriend and he was being a good boy. But the gleam in his eyes and the way he looked at me now, told me he was single and looking to mingle. Game on, Gabe."I wanted to come over and say hey. You looked a bit lonely."I smirked at him. "Well, I'm not lonely
SAIGE POVThe movement from driving was making me a bit dizzy and I had to close my eyes to keep myself from passing out."You aren't going to throw up in my truck, are you?" Collin asked, reminding me that I was in a vehicle with the coach.I grinned over at him. "Nah, I can hold it." I looked at the huge space separating us and wanted to move closer. Then an idea struck me. "Hey, can I push this up and sit in the middle? I'm getting a bit dizzy and it helps sometimes when I sit in the middle."He looked between me and the space between us nervously but nodded anyway.After pushing the middle console up, I scooted closer to him, pressing my leg tightly against his. The warmth he provided sent a wave of chills up the left side of my body."Mmm," I moaned, "much better."I watched as his hands gripped the steering wheel tighter and his gaze stayed on the road. I wanted to get some kind of reaction out of him, so I slowly slid my hand onto his thigh, squeezing him to let him know my int
SAIGE POVA/N: TRIGGER WARNING!!!! This chapter contains very disturbing scenes of sexual assault. Please be advised before reading. IF you are uncomfortable with these types of scenes, please skip to the next chapter. You have been warned.~~~~~My mom and the creep were finally quiet so I could try to sleep, but sleep never came. I tossed and turned for what felt like hours and all I could think about was that kiss I shared with Collin. I never think too much about the guys I kiss or sleep with. They were usually a spur-of-the-moment thing that kept me occupied from my miserable life.However, Collin's kiss was a moment I'd never forget. Just remembering everything about that moment turned me on. The bulge in his jeans when I touched him there sent a wave of excitement through me as I slid my hand down into my panties. I closed my eyes and pictured Collin being the one to touch me right now, sliding and circling over my most sensitive spots.I jumped out of my skin when I felt someo
SAIGE POVAfter getting back into my clothes, I sat on the bench and stared at the lockers in front of me. I didn't have anywhere to go and sitting here in the silence was nice for the moment.I finally decided to get up and move, heading back into the school and toward the front doors. But, before I made it very far, I saw a familiar face walking the halls."Gabe?"He turned toward me and smiled. "Hey- there you are."I looked around, finding that we were alone. "You're looking for me?" "Yeah." He ran his hand through his hair and stepped up to me, placing his hand possessively on my hip. "I wanted to tell you that I had fun last night and wanted to, um..." he cleared his throat. "I wanted to see if you wanted to go out sometime."I held back the laugh building in my chest as I studied him. No guy had ever asked me out on a date. Normally they admitted that they liked me, we would head toward a date destination, but never actually make it there."You want to take me out?" I smiled,
COLLIN POVIt took everything I had not to go after that little punk and punch his face in. I wanted to take my anger out on him so badly but knew I'd probably go to jail for beating a minor nearly to death.The worst part was seeing Saige half-naked in the classroom behind me as that little fuck left her alone in there. I knew what they had done, especially after what she yelled to his retreating back, and I was furious.Our shared kiss from last night was still fresh on my mind and I could still taste her. I wanted so badly to believe that everyone was wrong about her but that clearly wasn't the case. I was so stupid.The door to the classroom opened and I spun around to find Saige standing there with a timid look on her face. It was clear that she hadn't expected to get caught, especially by me.When I didn't move or say anything, she cleared her throat. "So, are you taking me to the principal's office now, or what?" I shook my head. "You need more than detention for your actions."
