"I've pieced it together," Rhys said in a low tone so no one could hear him.
"What?"
"You and Hunter are ex-teammates. Even if I hadn't known that, the way you two assist each other makes that obvious. The way you both are looking at the marketing girl tells me there is something there as well."
"So what?"
"You should have told me. Cruz obviously knew."
"I told Cruz before he went and chased Lily down. He was a pathetic mess and it didn't faze him."
"I'm the captain of the team. You should have told me," Rhys repeated.
"Tell you what? That Hunter and I are in some weird fucking love triangle? That we are both after the same girl?"
He ran a hand through his hair and looked around, realizing everyone had gone in for halftime of our scrimmage. Everyone except Tatum, who was sitting in her same seat watching Rhys with wide eyes.
"I don't know," Rhys finally sighed, "but I wouldn't have invited him."
"It's like you said, though. At least if he's here, we can keep an eye on him."
"It's the eye he has on you that has me confused."
"I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to take my place on this team."
Rhys patted my back and then started walking into the locker room. "That isn't what I meant," he yelled before disappearing into the tunnel.
With Tatum still looking at me, I nodded toward the grounds crew's corridor. I started walking ahead of her, hoping she would follow me. Not only did I want to check in with her, but I wanted to fucking touch her, kiss her.
It would make the second half of the scrimmage that much more bearable.
During the off-season, the grounds crew worked when we didn't, keeping the field clean and ready. That meant no one was in their space, making it the perfect hiding place.
Sweat was dripping down my body, and I took my shirt to my brow while I waited for Tatum to catch up. When she peeked around the corner of the tall wall and saw me standing there, I dropped my shirt to the ground and held my arms open for her.
Her smile made mine grow, and she quickly ran into my arms.
"Sorry, I'm sweaty." I kissed the top of her head as her cheek rested on my chest.
"I don't care."
"Not the first time we've been sweaty against each other."
She laughed and looked up at me, kissing my cheek, then my chin, and landing on my lips. It was just a peck, but I held her close, pushing my tongue against the seam of her lips and begging her to kiss me harder.
"What did Rhys say to you," she asked around my tongue.
"He knows I'm about to fuck you."
She got still, but I kept kissing her, leading her to the wall so I could press her against it.
"It's half time. We don't have time."
"If memory serves me correctly. It doesn't take long to make you come."
She moaned, giving in to me a little more and running her hands down my arms. When she got to my wrists, she lifted her hands again and grabbed my neck, holding me tighter to her mouth.
"Are you wearing any panties?"
