~Samantha Lee~

His mouth was demanding and gentle all at once, every rational thought flew out of the window as I deepened the kiss.

BAM. BAM. BAM.

The sudden knock on the door, made my heart hammer against my ribs, I stumbled back a step, one hand flying to my swollen lips while the other instinctively yanked down the hem of my pajama shorts. Tyler, looking equally dazed and far too gorgeous with his kiss-mussed hair, smoothed down the front of his paper-thin gown.

"Come in," he called out, his voice a little rougher, a little deeper than usual.

A nurse stepped in, "Just checking in, Mr. Pierce. How are you feeling? Any dizziness or pain?"

Tyler cleared his throat, "I'm fine seriously. How's Claire? Is she up?"

"She won’t be up for tonight, she was busy whimpering and we gave her a sedative which is doing its job, so she'll likely be asleep for a good while longer. The doctor set her leg, and we'll be keeping her overnight for observation, just to be safe."

“Can I see her?" He asked

  • Sport Affair (His Dirty Little Secret)    25: Second Too Late

    ~Samantha Lee~I checked the time on the clock on the table and I scoffed, I'd been waiting for over two hours, propped up against my pillows, pretending to read a textbook that might as well have been written in ancient Greek for all the sense it was making. Every creak of the floorboards in the hallway, every distant murmur, had my head snapping up, my heart doing a stupid little flip-flop in my chest. He said he'd be back but he wasn’t here, I tossed the book aside and swung my legs off the bed. I wasn't going to be some pathetic girl waiting by the door. I just... needed to know.I crept toward his room, putting my ear closer to his door and I heard laughter from him and Claire."Oh my God, Ty, you did not," she giggled."I swear on my playbook," Tyler's voice replied, thick with amusement. "Coach almost had a coronary. You should have seen his face, it went from beet red to this weird shade of purple."It was a stupid, harmless story they were sharing but it felt like a betrayal

  • Sport Affair (His Dirty Little Secret)    24: Rule Number One

    ~Samantha Lee~The first thing I registered was the arm slung around me holding me in place. Fingers were splayed just under the curve of my breast with a thumb resting on its swell.My eyes fluttered open, I was tucked into Tyler's side, my head on his chest, a soft snore escaped his lips, and a smile tugged at mine at the way his hands were casually cupping my breasts in his sleep.Gently and carefully, I tried to shift but as I moved, his hand tightened instinctively, his thumb stroking my skin in a slow, sleepy caress that sent a shiver straight down my spine. Okay! Maybe I could lie here for another minute or ten.Bam. Bam. Bam.The sudden knock on the door jolted me and my heart leaped into my throat. Tyler grunted, his grip slackening. I seized the opportunity, gently prying his fingers away from my chest and sliding out from under his arm. I sat up as the door swung open.Claire was in a wheelchair, her left leg propped up and wrapped in a thick white bandage from her knee

  • Sport Affair (His Dirty Little Secret)    22: Unexpected Visit

    ~Tyler Pierce~I stepped into the car and ignited the engine, Claire cleared her throat, tilted her head to look at me. "So," Claire said, "Do you like her?"I blinked confused and turned to look at her, "Like who?" I grunted, pulling out of the driveway and onto the street, my eyes fixed on the road.Claire made a small, unimpressed sound. A little huff of air that said, Don't play dumb with me. I could feel her gaze on the side of my face.When I didn't elaborate, she did. "Sam.""Why would you say that?" I asked, forcing a casual tone"Oh, I don't know," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Maybe it's the way you two look at each other. It's like watching a nature documentary about two predators sizing each other up before they either rip each other's throats out or... You know." She waggled her eyebrows in the rearview mirror."We're stepsiblings, Claire," I bit out trying not to make whatever was going on between us, visible. Claire let out a short laugh. "Notice how tha

  • Sport Affair (His Dirty Little Secret)    21: Unwanted Interruption

    ~Samantha Lee~The silence in Tyler's ridiculously expensive car was heavy, I stared out the window until we finally arrived home. The moment the engine cut out, I turned to him, my mouth finally opening, the first syllable of his name forming on my lips."Ty—"The massive front door flew open, and a supernova of blonde hair and sunshine burst onto the porch. She was dressed in a brightly colored sundress and squealed a name that wasn't mine."Tyler!"Before I could even process the interruption, she launched herself at him the second he stepped out of the car. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Tyler's face broke, and he burst into genuine, unrestrained laughter. I was shocked to see him laugh in that manner, never in the time I knew him had he laughed so carefree. He spun her around, her blonde hair fanning out like a halo, before setting her down.I stood awkwardly by the passenger door, feeling like an intruder in my own home. My carefully prepared

  • Sport Affair (His Dirty Little Secret)    20: Scared For Him

    ~Samantha Lee~I wake to a dull, persistent pain in my abdomen but it's manageable—more than manageable thanks to Tyler.A soft knock came through jolting me out of my thoughts and my mom pushed the door open, a steaming mug in her hands."Morning, sweetie. Thought this might help with any lingering cramps." She sets it on my nightstand, her smile warm and knowing."Thanks, Mom. You're the best." I sip the tea, the warmth sliding down my throat and settling deep in my belly. It feels like a hug from the inside.After she leaves, I swing my legs out of bed and pad to the bathroom, I stand under the water for a long time, letting my mind drift. It keeps drifting, annoyingly, to a certain six-foot-two hockey player with a ridiculously chiseled jawline. The way his thumb had soothed circles on my hip, the low rumble of his voice as he told me a stupid story about his childhood dog all designed to distract me, and damn him, it worked so well.I step out of the steamy bathroom, a towel wrap
