“Bryce is out. Get your ass on that field.”

Holy shit. I slipped my helmet on and ran out, nodding at Bryce as he limped past me with a pained expression. I joined the formation, and we made a play that got Nick the ball and running to the end zone. He crossed the line, and we all cheered as he danced around.

We won the game by ten points and headed to the locker room to clean up. We all showered and changed into slacks and button-up shirts to head over to a rooftop club. We were going to have some drinks and mingle with fans who traveled with us.

We all got there and hit the bar, ordering drinks and talking as people started filling the bar. I saw Bella leading the way inside with Emma and a few others walking behind her. Emma was wearing a short, clingy black dress with heels and her hair down around her shoulders.

I wasn’t the first one to notice her and Joe made a beeline for her. I set down my beer and strode over to the group, my eyes burning into Emma’s.

“Em, I need to speak with you.”

“What are you doing?” Her voice was low as we walked out to the balcony and I looked around to make sure we were alone. Seeing that we were, I gazed into her face that had more make-up on than usual and watched her glossed mouth slip into an involuntary pout. She smiled a gorgeous smile and she was beautiful, her eyes shimmering in the dim lights as I realized that she was happy to see me.

“You can’t keep me from talking to other men every time there’s one within a few feet. I can handle myself.”

I wondered if she cared about any other man in the room as I reached out to slide my hands down her arms. I felt emotion rising in me, coupled with my frustration as I sighed.

“Emma, you can’t torture me this way.”

My voice was soft as I gazed into her eyes, reaching up to cup her face.

“You can’t talk to me like I’m a child. If you wanted me, you should have said that first. I am going to end up with someone. Eventually.”

Her eyes burned into mine, challenging me.

“I don’t want you with anyone else. I want you for myself.”

Her hands were on my chest and I grabbed her by the elbow, pulling her closer. She slipped her hands up my chest as I backed her against a wall.

I moved in closer and could smell her body wash.

She breathed in and her chest rose up and down.

“I want you, Jackson.”

I could no longer resist this woman.

I kissed her softly, unable to believe that I was finally feeling her mouth against mine. Emma wrapped her arms around my neck as she kissed me back, pulling me down closer to her.

Fuck. I tilted my head and slowly deepened the kiss, noticing her lips tasting like cherries. She was the best thing I’d ever tasted and the most beautiful woman I had ever held in my arms. I didn’t know where I was or why as our tongues slid together, and I wrapped my hands around her waist to pull her closer against me. Her body was perfect under this little dress and I reached down to cup her ass as she moaned against me.

She tried to climb me, eager to wrap her body around me.

I pulled back to look for some place we could be alone. I saw a door and dragged her over to try it, then pushed her inside the storage area for the bar. I lifted her on a box and pulled her face close to mine as I kissed her hungrily. Emma wrapped her arms around me and I pushed her back before kissing her face and neck.

“I’ve wanted this for so long,” Emma murmured against my lips as I kissed her again.

I pressed against her, feeling her heat through my pants as I spread her legs wider with my body. I wanted to take her right here, but this wasn’t the right place for us to be together. I wanted her in my bed where we could be alone and I could show her how much she meant to me.

Still, I kissed her harder. I slipped my hands under the short skirt, sliding my hands over her legs and finding the hem of her underwear.

“You’re fucking dangerous in this dress,” I stroked my thumbs over her upper thighs, feeling how wet she was with the tip of my thumb. I lowered my mouth to suck on her neck. “Why the fuck aren’t we in Tennessee right now?”

“I don’t know,” she murmured as I slipped my hand over her leg, pulling her body to me as she rocked against me.
