It’s starting to worry me how quickly my thoughts about him move from appropriate to completely demented.
I blink repeatedly to bring me out of those dirty thoughts and find myself looking into Rhys’ eyes instead.
He’s got a knowing smile on his face like he caught me watching him, so I look away quickly and busy myself putting the equipment back in the bags.

“No.”
“You were.”
“I wasn’t.’
“Come on, admit it. You were checking me out earlier.” Rhys says, his facial expression like the cat that got the cream. “Tell me how much you liked what you saw.”
We’re in Coach’s office putting away the balls, cones, and weights back that we borrowed.
Rhys didn’t comment on me watching him when I realized he’d noticed me. We finished practice with a few more sprint drills and I thought he wouldn’t mention it and I’d escaped unscathed.
I should have known he wouldn’t let it go that easily, the bastard.
“It’s a wonder you’re able to stand upright what with the weight of that enormous ego you lug around everywhere.”
He snorts as he opens Coach’s door, letting me walk through first into the hall. “If you want to talk about big things that keep me from standing upright, we should talk about another body part.”
I press the call button for the elevator and look at him, my eyebrows raised.
He puts both hands up in front of his chest to indicate a size. I want to say it’s roughly nine inches.
I glance at his hands then back at his face where a cocky grin has painted itself on his lips.
“Massive,” He mouths, “Sometimes I pitch forward because of it.”
I roll my eyes as we walk into the elevator, hoping that reaction will cover the blush of my cheeks, the way my dirty mind immediately thought back to our hug.
Because I felt it, felthim.
I know he isn’t lying.
“If you don’t believe me, I’m more than happy to show you.” He says, taking a couple steps towards me and forcing me to back up against the elevator wall. “I can complete the picture for you since you were checking me out earlier.”
“I’m good, thank– oh, fuck.”
My words are abruptly cut off by the elevator jolting. We’re both frozen in shock as it shakes once, twice, and stops between floors, the light flickering ominously on and off a couple times.
Immediately, fear clogs up my throat and steals my breath.
“What the fuck?” Rhys exclaims, turning away from me and towards the panel where he presses the emergency call button.
I slide down the wall until my ass hits the floor, dread turning my legs to jello and making them incapable of holding my weight.
Meanwhile, Rhys makes a frustrated sound and hits the button again. “I don’t think this thing’s working,” He says as he turns towards me, “We’ll have to wait– What the—? What’s wrong?”
Suddenly, he’s on one knee in front of me, grabbing my face in his hands.
