“I’m glad you asked,” Coach responds. “I’m just about to get to that part. Brantwood doesn’t exactly have the best physical therapists, and this whole thing is kind of last minute, so… Lexie, you’ll be going with Carter as his physical therapist.”
“No way. Not happening,” I argue.
“I’m sorry, I don’t remember giving you an option here.” The anger in Coach’s eyes turns to rage. If I protest, Coach won’t care. He has me by the balls, and he knows it. Lexie, on the other hand? I fully intend on doing everything in my power to make her want to turn this job down because she can’t come to Brantwood… for so many reasons. The biggest one is having to fucking resist her when even now, my dick is begging to be inside her. No, I need to get her to decline this offer.
“I already have a therapist. A real one. Not some chick trying to earn Daddy’s approval.”
Lexie’s mouth falls open. Where I expect to hurt her feelings, it looks more like I pissed her off. Either way, as long as she refuses to do this, that’s all that matters.
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me, princess.”
She shifts in her chair and faces me. “I am a damn good therapist. You’d be lucky to have me.”
“Really? Because I’m not feeling particularly lucky at the moment.”
Her eyes become glassy, and I can see her fighting back the tears that threaten to emerge. One more dig and she’s done.
“That’s enough. Lexie is a damn good therapist. A whole lot better than you deserve.”
Lexie offers her father a lackluster smile. “Thanks, Dad, but if Carter doesn’t want to work with me…”
Thank God.
“He doesn’t have a choice,” Coach replies. “This is coming from above me. You violated your contract, so either you do what I say or…”
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” I shout. “Yes, I fucked up, but it’s no worse than what anyone else has done.”
Coach points in the direction of the locker room. “None of those guys had a sex tape surface. You’re going to Brantwood, and you’re taking Lexie with you. That’s final.”
If the man is trying to punish me, he has no idea how good of a job he’s doing with this little setup.
Coach takes a seat at his desk. “You’re dismissed. Both of you.”
Chapter9
Lexie
There’s no time.
No time to be stunned. No time to think about that Godforsaken tape. All I can think about is Carter. How devastated he must be finding out like this.
My lie just blew up in our faces and caught us both off guard in the worst possible way.
While I’m sure, my father doesn’t have a clue, the man sure as hell knows how to punish us for it.
“Carter,” I call after him, chasing him out of the stadium and through the parking lot.
His long legs and wide strides are no match for me and my heels.
“Carter, wait. Please,” I plead with him.
When he reaches his truck, he stops and slams his fist against the metal, and I wince at the sound.
“How could you do this? How could you lie to me? Keep this from me? I thought…” He turns to face me. “I thought we had something.”
“We do.”
