The Endgame Is You 11
Between classes, the team, and her work at the shelter, we’d barely seen each other. I wanted nothing more than to take my sweet time exploring her body before I sank deep inside her.“Hot date?” Griffin smirked and I flipped him off.“Actually, I missed date night.” Guilt snaked through me. But I could make it up to her. I couldn’t, however, make it up to the game Friday night if we weren’t ready.“Oh shit, you’re gonna be in the doghouse, man.”“Nah, Felicity understands.” But as I said the words, my stomach knotted. I was asking a lot of her. We both knew the level of dedication and discipline playing college ball would require, but even I’d underestimated just how intensive it would be. Playing for the team didn’t only mean practice and games. It meant bonding with the guys, being a brotherhood... a family. You couldn’t just shirk your way out of that. Especially not when you were the captain.“I’ll catch you later,” I said to the guys as we filed out of the building. It was alrea

JASONWE WERE LEADING THE IVY LEAGUE FOUR TO NONE, WITH THREE GAMES LEFT TO PLAY. THE PRESSURE was on after what could only be described as a flawless season. Probably my best football season to date. My passing yards total was already a season best and I was currently tied second with a kid out of Cornell on the Division I FCS season passing yards leaderboard.I was heading for the single most perfect season of my life... and yet, my personal life was a fucking mess.Letting out a frustrated breath, I pushed open the door to the hotel bar and found Asher and Cameron sitting in wait.“Hey, it’s good to see you.” Cam got up first, pulling me into a guy hug. Seeing my friends was like coming home. I loved my team at Penn: the guys, the coaches, the fans; but it wasn’t Rixon.“Sorry I’m late.”“Don’t sweat it, we know the drill.” They did. They’d seen me captain the Rixon Raiders, witnessed how deep I became when handed such a responsibility. I didn’t just carry my own thirst for the win

FELICITYA weekend with Hailee and Mya had been just what I’d needed. We’d spent an entire day and night being pampered and primped, finishing off the day with cocktails in the tropical al fresco style bar. This morning we’d enjoyed a champagne breakfast and then gone our separate ways. Mya and I had flown back to Philadelphia together.“Oh my god,” she murmured as we came through arrivals to find Asher holding a huge 'welcome home' sign. “He did not.”“Oh, he did.” Laughter spilled from my lips. I scanned the arrival lounge for Jason, my heart sinking when I didn’t spot him.“My two favorites.” Asher approached us.Mya grabbed his face and squished her nose against his. “It’s a good thing I love you.”“What, you didn’t like my sign? It took all morning to paint.”“You have completely lost your mind.”“Fee, baby,” he kissed Mya before stepping around her, “get over here.”“Hey, Ash.” I gave him a hug. “Have you seen Jason?”“Actually, he asked me if I minded giving you a ride.”“He di

I wanted to taste her, trail my tongue up and down her body until she was a writhing mess beneath me.Fuck, I wanted her.It made me realize how much we needed this. We’d still been having sex. I was a hot-blooded guy and Felicity had a body built for sin. But I couldn’t remember the last time we played. Spent hours exploring each other’s bodies, finding new ways to make each other come undone. We were both busy, both exhausted by the time bedtime rolled around.“What?” Felicity whispered, uncertainty shining in her eyes as I studied her.“Just thinking how much I’ve missed you.”“I’ve missed you too.” She curled her freshly painted nails into my shirt.“Well, tonight is ours,” I said with confidence, threading our hands together.“I can’t wait.” She smiled up at me, and my heart beat harder.That single look... it was everything. And I knew that no matter how hard or demanding college got, we’d be okay. Because this girl—this beautiful, intelligent, driven woman—was mine.JASONTHE R

FELICITYThe night had been perfect. The restaurant was romantic with its sultry mood lighting and incredible views. The food was to die for. And being with Jason away from all the pressure of classes and the team was heavenly.Until the stranger had approached asking for an autograph, and just like that the illusion came crumbling down around us, giving me a snapshot of what life with Jason would always be like. The more successful he became, the more recognized he became. The more recognized he became, the more the spotlight would shine down on him. And the more the spotlight shone, the more I wilted into the shadows.“It’s chilly,” I said, as he held open the door for me and we spilled out into the inky night.Thanksgiving was in less than three weeks, and with it, the end of the football season. Until next year. “What are you—” “Ford? What the hell, man,” Griffin ambled over to us, a small group of people trailing behind.“Fancy running into you guys.”“Hey, Jason.

“She acted like I was no one, Jason. Do you have any idea how horrible that makes me feel? Knowing that she thinks she can have you? As if I’m nothing.”“Babe.” I stepped forward, needing to touch her. Needing to stop any more ridiculous words coming out of her mouth. “You know what she’s like.” A lot of the cheerleaders were the same, all desperate to bag a player. And unfortunately for me, I was at the top of the food chain. But I’d never even looked, let alone touched.Not when I had all I could want right here.“I thought I was strong enough...” she murmured, dropping her gaze again. “I thought we would come here, and I’d be at your side...”“You are at my side.” I grabbed her shoulders. “You’re the only one I need at my side. I know I’ve been prioritizing the team, but it’s just for a few more weeks and then the season is over, and things will calm down.” My eyes bored into hers, pleading with her to believe me. “Shit, babe, where is all this coming from?”“I’m barely keeping my

“Move,” I begged, my voice thick with lust. “I need you to—” The air whooshed from my lungs as he pulled out and slammed back inside of me.He wasn’t gentle or tender, slow or sweet. Jason wasn’t making love to me now, he was imprinting himself on my soul, trying to carve his name on my bones.“Mine,” he growled against my ear before running his tongue down my neck, licking and sucking.“Jason, I can’t... it’s—”“Ssh.” He pressed his head against mine, pinning me to the wall with his intense gaze. “I know what you need, Felicity. I will always know.” He punched his hips forward making us both cry out in ecstasy.My hands wound around his neck, holding on for dear life. I would ache tomorrow, the wall rough against my back, my thighs pressed wide to accommodate Jason’s big body.But right there, in that moment, I didn’t care. Because we were just two people so desperately and irrevocably in love that we were drowning in each other.And I didn’t ever want to come up for air.JASONI tol

Now you know how Felicity feels, asshole.“Yeah, I’ll see you later, okay?” Her polite dismissal made my heart soar.“Uh, sure.” Tutor boy hesitated. “I’ll see you later. Jason, it was a pleasure.” I bet it was, asshole.He left the coffee shop and Felicity let out a little sigh of relief. “You can stop glaring now.” She chuckled.“Do you ever wish—”“Don’t even say it. I don’t want Darcy, he’s my tutor.”“Yeah, but he gets all that stuff you love so much.”God, why was everything so fucking messed up? It was like we took one step forward and two steps back.“Jason, I love you.” Felicity shuffled forward on her chair. “I guess I just underestimated how hard all this would be.”“I know and I wish it could be different. But—”“I get it, I do. I would never ever want you to give up your dream. You’ve worked too hard for it.” “I love you.”The words were fast becoming a stitch for the frayed seams of our relationship. But I didn’t know how to fix it. I didn’t know how to make Felicity bel
