It was a good thing that no one actually needed sleep to maintain their sanity. If they did, I would have been in a whole lot of trouble. Because lying in bed in the dark, all I could think about was everything Evan Carter and his teammates did to me since I was old enough to pee straight.
I didn’t know what I was thinking when I agreed to do this. Me mentoring a football player was a bad idea, a very bad idea.
That wouldn’t stop me from going through with it, though. Who was I to reject a bad idea?
Walking to the agreed-upon meeting spot, I was sweating through my clothes. I was having a full-on panic attack. We were meeting in the serpent’s den, the football team’s practice facility. But at least my professor was going to be there with me.
“You ready for this?” He asked me as excitedly as I was terrified.
“No, but I’m here. So, let’s do it.”
Professor Nandan put his arm around my shoulder and led me into the room. The beast sat with his back to me. The funny thing was that I recognized his back. It was unmistakable. And when he turned around and I got a glimpse of his to-die-for cheekbones, I thought this was a cruel joke.
“You?” I asked stunned.
“Do you two know each other?” My professor asked.
We stared at one another. I didn’t know how to respond.
“We’ve met,” Nero replied.
“I’m hoping that’s good,” my professor suggested.
Nero looked at me again. “Yeah,” he confirmed allowing my professor to breathe.
“Then perhaps I don’t need to introduce you two. But, Nero Roman, this is Kendall Seers. Kendall, Nero is a very promising football star.”
“I don’t know about all of that,” Nero quickly interjected.
“I’ve seen you play. You’re very good,” the older man gushed.
“Thanks,” Nero said looking away bashfully.
“And Kendall, here, is one of my most promising students.”
“I am,” I confirmed. “Probably his best.”
I have no idea why I said that. But it broke the tension. At least for those two.
“I don’t know about all of that,” my professor joked. “But he’s very good. You should be in good hands with him. Should I leave you two to get to know each other?”
“I don’t see why not,” Nero said looking at me like I hadn’t spit in his face and kicked dirt on him as I walked away the last time I saw him.
“Very good. Then I’m off,” the glowing man said before leaving us alone and closing the door behind him.
We both stared at each other. It would have been the worst thing in the world if he wasn’t so goddamn hot. Seriously, how could someone be that good-looking? The guy oozed sex. I considered what he looked like naked.
“So, what do you wanna talk about?” He asked me smiling. God did he have a great smile.
I thought I was sweating before. Now I was practically standing in a puddle.
“Are you hot in here?” I asked. “I mean IT! Is IT hot in here? Do you want to get out of here? Let’s get out of here. I need some fresh air. I can’t breathe in here.”
“Are you okay,” he asked concerned.
“I just need to take a walk. Can we take a walk?”
“Whatever you want,” he said dripping with small-town southern charm.
