Sage's POV

The familiar squeak of my sneakers against the polished hardwood floor was a melody I had desperately missed. It had been a week since the test results came back, a week since the weight of suspicion lifted, revealing a clean slate. My leg still ached, a dull throb that reminded me of the past harsh landing, the consequence of my selfish shot. But I was there, back where I belonged, even if only partially.

Andrew, our coach, called out drills, his voice booming across the court. I moved with a cautious grace, favoring my still-healing leg. He had found someone to fill my spot, a girl with quick hands and a fierce drive, and I didn't complain. I knew he was only looking out for me. My initial replacement was playing intensely, her movements fluid and confident. I watched her, a strange mix of admiration and longing swirling within me.

Halfway through practice, Andrew blew his whistle, the sharp sound echoing through the training grounds.

Everyone gathered around him, sweat

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 25

    Sage's pov The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the crisp morning air, but I barely registered it. My gaze was fixed on Andrew, who was taking an eternity to sip from his cup. Each slow swallow was a hammer to my already frayed nerves. "Andrew," I finally managed, my voice barely above a whisper, "How was… last night for you?"He lowered the cup, his eyes meeting mine. A slight smile played on his lips, a maddeningly casual gesture that did nothing to soothe my anxiety. "Unexpected," he said, his voice a low rumble. "But I can't say I regret it."A sigh of relief escaped me, quickly followed by a fresh wave of panic. Unexpected but no regrets. What did that even mean? The words were a tiny balm, but a much larger, more pressing question was screaming in my head. I knew it was too soon, far too soon. My inner voice was already berating me, calling me foolish and impulsive. But the words were out before I could stop them. "What are we?"The silence that followed was deafenin

    Sage's POV The first thing I registered was the gentle warmth, a comforting weight beside me. My eyelids fluttered open, adjusting to the soft morning light filtering through the blinds. And then I saw Andrew.My breath hitched. He lay on his side, facing me, his dark hair a delightful mess against the pristine white pillow. Sunlight caught the sharp line of his jaw and highlighting the subtle stubble and his lips, slightly parted in sleep, looked so incredibly soft. He was even more handsome like this as he was stripped of the usual tailored suits and the confident, sometimes aloof air he carried in the office. Here, in the quiet intimacy of his bed, he was just... beautiful. A stray strand of hair fell across his forehead and an almost irresistible urge to reach out and brush it away rippled through me. My gaze traced the strong column of his neck, the broad expanse of his shoulders visible beneath the sheet that was draped over him. He was a masterpiece of masculine grace and th

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 23

    Sage's POV My heart raced, my skin beading with sweat as he kissed my skin and trailed a path down between my breasts. My fingers curled in his hair as he kissed my inner thigh."Andrew," the name fell from my lips, the sounds came out desperate, almost helpless, as he sank his teeth into my flesh, the sensation maddening. He bit in deeper until I writhed beneath him but he held me in place. His strong hands were on each of my hips, holding in place with a grip as strong as vice.I bit my lip trying to suppress the sounds that were in my throat, waiting for me to part my lips. Just when I thought I was going to lose my mind, he let go and I gasped in sweet relief. My legs were trembling slightly and I felt lightheaded. He lifted his gaze, I could see the predatory look in his eyes, the want and the lust in his eyes that threatened to consume me. He lowered his head again and his tongue stroked my pussy, the stroke sent pleasure down my spine and to my toes, my toes curled involuntar

    Sage's POV My teammates were a blur of ecstatic faces, swarmed around Rina, their voices a cacophony of praise for her game-winning shot. Each "Amazing, Rina!" and "You saved us!" felt like a fresh stab to my gut. I sat on the bench, silent, a ghost in my own defeat. I’d lost it all, the chance to redeem myself and to prove I wasn't the liability everyone whispered about. Then Rina’s voice came sharp and clear, cutting through the joyous din. “Well, I was destined to make that shot,” she crowed, her tone dripping with self-importance. “Unlike some people, I’m not so selfish and slow-minded to make a throw.”My head snapped up. Our gazes locked, and a chill snaked down my spine. Her eyes were usually just smug, now held a glint of genuine malice. My tongue felt thick, but I managed to force out, “Congratulations, Rina.”She scoffed and it was a dark throaty sound that sent shivers down my arms. “I didn’t win for myself, Sage. I won for the team. That’s what you fail to understand. No

    Sage's POV The stale scent of liniment and sweat, a familiar comfort on any other day, was heavy in the air of the locker room. Each quiet rustle of fabric as someone changed, each soft click of a locker door, amplified the suffocating weight of the game looming over me. Tonight. This was it. My chance to prove I was worthy of a second shot, to silence the gnawing doubt that Rina's venomous words had planted in my mind.My eyes scanned the room, finding her almost immediately. Rina was already changed, her mere presence was already a reminder of our last altercation. She glanced at me with a glint of something I couldn't quite decipher in her eyes, before turning away. The air crackled with tension, a silent hum beneath the forced casualness of the other girls’ chatter.I moved through the motions of changing, my movements stiff and robotic. Just as I was lacing up my sneakers, the door swung open and Andrew walked in. His presence was usually a comforting anchor in the swirling chao

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 20

    Sage’s POV The silence in the kitchen was suffocating and punctuated only by the drip of the coffee machine and the frantic thumping of my own heart. Tonight. Tonight was the night. The weight of the upcoming game pressed down on me with a physical ache in my chest. Was I ready? Could I actually do this? Rina’s taunts from yesterday, about me being a detriment to the team, still echoed in the quiet space, twisting into a knot of doubt. This was it. My chance to prove I was worthy of a second shot or to confirm her cruel words.My thoughts were a chaotic whirlwind, screeched to a halt. There he was. My father. Davies. Standing by the gleaming coffee machine, his back to me and the familiar hum of the brewing coffee was a clear contrast to the unfamiliar tremor in my hands. I hadn’t seen him since our last argument three days ago. It was a shouting match that had left both of us raw and exposed. A cold sinking dread had settled in my stomach. There was certainty that he’d already lef
