"I sent a bag of dicks and a glitter bomb to the owner of the team."
"What?" I laugh in shock. "Are you serious?"
"As a heart attack."
"Why?"
"He nixed fighting a suspension for a teammate that never should have happened. It was a bad call, so I let him know how we felt about it. I guess he didn't feel like eating a bag of dicks that day."
I choke on laughter, clamping a hand over my mouth. "You're terrible."
"I'm honest, Temptation. It wasn't my first time pissing in his Cheerios. I'm not someone who goes along quietly. He didn't like that, so I got sent down."
"You are honest," I whisper.
"You talked to Hollie."
"I did." I take a deep breath. "I'm woman enough to admit when I'm wrong, and I was wrong. I'm sorry I called you an oversized manwhore."
"You didn't call me an oversized manwhore."
"I did in my head." I pause. "A lot. Like a lot."
He laughs quietly at the way I draw out the word. "I've been called worse."
"I'm also sorry I called you a jerk and accused you of lying."
"That one you did say out loud." He chuckles and then sobers. "You believe me now?"
"Yes. Um, she told me what really happened."
"Care to share?"
It's not really my business to share her business, but I figure I owe him a few answers at this point, so I give him the Cliff Notes version. "She's in love with my brother. Things got spicy between them. She didn't know how to tell me."
"Ah, I see."
"Please don't get her fired," I plead quietly. "She only used your name because she was afraid to tell me the truth, and your name was the first one that came to mind. She didn't know I was going to confront you. She didn't think I'd ever even meet you. Had she known, she never would have given me your name. She feels awful."
"I'm not interested in going after her job, Temptation. I'm interested in something else."
"W-what?"
"You," he growls.
"Atlas."
"I saw the way you looked at me before you remembered you were supposed to hate me, baby. You felt the same spark zinging through your body that had my cock ready to burst. I know you did."
I did feel it, but I don't tell him that. I don't say anything.
"I couldn't tell through that fucking parka you had on, but I'm guessing it had those little nipples hard and your panties soaked, didn't it?" he rasps.
I bite my lip, fighting the urge to admit the truth.
"Didn't it, Temptation?"
"Yes," I whisper. In the moments before I remembered why I couldn't like him, I felt an avalanche move through me, twisting me all up and putting me back together in some new order. My body ached for something I've never had…the same way it aches right now. I want this man in a way I've never wanted anything.
