Rough Play (An Erotic MLM Sports Romance) 24
Richard's POVWednesday practice was supposed to run until six.I was in the middle of a contact drill when my phone buzzed in my shorts pocket. I ignored it. It buzzed again. Marcus glanced at me from across the line and I shook my head and reset my stance and we went again.When Briggs blew the whistle for water I pulled the phone out.Sofia."Ooooh," Marcus said immediately from two feet away. He had eyes like a hawk when it came to other people's business. "Is that her?""Mind the drill," I said."It's a water break." He leaned over. "Call her back. She's been—"I stepped away from the group and picked up."Hey," she said. Her voice was warm the way it always was, like she had been looking forward to this call specifically. "Are you training?""Just a break," I said. "What's up?""I have a surprise for you.""I don't like surprises.""You'll like this one." A pause. "I'm sending you an address. Come tonight. I'll be there at eight."I looked back at the group. Marcus was watching

Andre's POV One week to Wood work. That was the number I woke up with and the number I carried through breakfast and the drive to the facility and the tape job and the walk out to the pitch. Win today. Win the next. Then the Wolves in the qualifying round and Wood Work on the other side of it. Seven days and two results standing between me and a week in the national forest that I had been thinking about since the first whistle of the first game this season. I was focused. Sharp. Exactly where I needed to be. Tanner fell into step beside me during warm-up. “One week to Wood Work, huh,” he said. “I know.” “I cannot wait to get my dick wet.” I looked at him. “It’s Wood Work. There are no girls allowed.” “No girls allowed, huh?” He bumped my shoulder. “Like you haven’t smuggled Lexie in the previous two years.” “Tanner—” I grabbed his arm. He kept going. “Honestly at some point I thought your tent was going to go up in flames from all the loud pound—” “Tanner!” He raised his

Andre's POVI pushed back from the table before I had fully decided to.I told myself it was the thank you. That I owed him that much and it had been sitting on me since the benefit and the clean thing to do was say it and be done with it. That was the reason I was crossing a restaurant toward a man I had pinned against a wall forty-eight hours ago.That was the reason.Richard was standing near the exit with his jacket half on, looking out through the glass toward the street. He didn't turn when I came up behind him. I stopped a few feet back."Richard," I said.He turned.His face was neutral in the way it was always neutral, that default flat expression he wore like a second skin, giving nothing back until he decided to. He looked at me and waited."I wanted to say thank you," I said. "For Rose. At the benefit." I kept my voice level. "You didn't have to stay with her and you did and I came in there and made it something it wasn't. So. Thank you."It cost something to say. I could

Richard's POVDarren had been gone since noon.No note, no text, nothing. Just the truck missing from the driveway when I got back from training and the particular quality of quiet that came from a house when the person who made it feel like a trap was temporarily somewhere else. He was probably at whatever bar gave him the least resistance on a weekday afternoon. I did not care where he was. I cared that he wasn't here.I sat on the couch for a while. Then I moved to my room. Then back to the couch. I ate something from the fridge that didn't require cooking and watched the ceiling and let the day sit on me without trying to do anything with it.The article was still out there. Briggs's voice was still in my head. The image was still the image.I had my phone face down on the cushion beside me when Sofia called.I looked at the screen for two rings before I picked up."I'm taking you out," she said."Not tonight.""Richard.""I'm serious. I'm not in the mood for—""The article has be

RICHARD's povI was already in the chair when Briggs came in.He had the article printed out. He put it on the desk face up and stood over it for a moment with his hands in his jacket pockets, looking at it like he was deciding how much of himself to spend on this conversation. Then he looked at me. “This is not a good look,” he said. “Not for the program. Not for the qualifying picture. Not for you specifically.” He paused. “It’s been picked up by two other outlets this morning. The athletics department emailed me twice before nine.” “I’m sorry,” I said. “I don’t want sorry yet.” He sat down. His voice dropped, not softer, more deliberate, the way it got when he was saying something he needed to land correctly. “You know what this season actually is?” he said. “First genuine shot at the cup in ten years. Ten years of near misses and average rosters and donors pulling out because they stopped believing the program was worth the investment.” He leaned forward. “This year the piece

ANDRE's POVRose didn't say anything on the drive home.She sat in the passenger seat with her coat still on and her headphones around her neck and her face turned toward the window. The city moved past her in streaks of yellow and white and she watched it without expression. I kept my eyes on the road and my hands on the wheel and said nothing because the car was not the place for it.I needed walls around this conversation.We got inside and she was already pulling her coat off when I said it."Stay away from Richard O'Reilly."She stopped with one arm still in the sleeve."He was kind to me," she said."I don't care.""Andre—""He's hiding something." I kept my voice level. "I don't know what it is yet but it's there and I don't want you near it. That's all I'm saying.""I was just talking to him.""I know." I looked at her directly. "I'm asking you not to again."Rose looked at me for a long moment. Her face did the thing it did when she had finished processing something and arriv
