Excerpt
"I'll destroy him if he takes one step away with her." Ryder grinned confidently. "Don't worry about him anyway--she can't live without me. She's just figuring that out."
David straightened as fear and anger shot down his spine. "I'll make everything up to her."
"Then do it, fucker." Ryder quieted when noises from the other players and coaches coming filled the locker room.
Before David could switch his focus to the upcoming game, his phone vibrated. His pulse hummed in his ears because it was a text from Tercero, and the way Ryder was staring at his phone, he'd gotten a message as well.
They both looked at each other and then opened the picture.
"Hot damn." Ryder yanked David's phone before he could fully take it in. "Just seeing if he sent the same photo."
David snatched it back, and he smiled. It was like the universe had forgiven him. All his hopes and dreams with her didn't seem impossible anymore, because his beautiful girl was right there--on his bed, wearing his jersey in just a pair of her favorite knee-high socks and nothing else.
It was the sexiest thing he'd ever seen, but she'd made it tasteful. Or, he guessed Tercero had made sure she wasn't totally exposed. Her legs were together and tilted to the side, showing off the side of her bare ass.
"I'm actually glad we had him take the photo." Ryder rearranged himself. "He took a photography class last year, and he's all artistic. She listened to him about me--no panties. That means I'm in with you."
David noticed, and he knew it meant Jane was choosing all of them right now. It hurt, but he hadn't expected her to drop Ryder.
"Fuck, she's a goddess," Ryder whispered.
She really was, and David couldn't take his eyes off her. Tercero had arranged her hair, spread out in a way that made her look like a fallen angel, and her eyes--she made sure he knew this was for him and Ryder. "He's standing on my bed. He better be dressed."
"He wouldn't do that," Ryder said, texting something back. "He said they didn't fuck, but she's satisfied. Lucky bastard probably ate her out."
All sorts of violent thoughts rose, but David tried to control himself. He'd told Tercero to take care of her, and he should be proud, focusing on the fact that she knew he'd been the one to make this happen, to make sure she was satisfied. David wanted to talk to her alone, but he knew he'd have happen, to make sure she was satisfied. David wanted to talk to her alone, but he knew he'd have no privacy with players filling in now. "I'm fucking surprised she'd let him do that. I think about that all the time with her, but she's always so sweet--I can't--"
"You think she doesn't have dirty wishes?" Ryder chuckled. "She's always reading naughty books. She definitely fantasizes about it, and we let her have it."
David sighed, realizing Ryder was right again. Jane wasn't a prude, but she'd been something almost sacred to him, and so he'd told himself it was wrong to think about the things he wanted to do to her, that she became even more untouchable and pure. She became something no one should taint, even though he wanted to do everything with her. "What are you telling him?" he asked instead of blurting out more personal stuff.
"Told him to ask her if she's ready for all of us." Ryder dodged the punch David threw. "Careful, you're already hurt. Coach is gonna baby your ass if he sees it."
David didn't give a damn about his hand or the coach. He sent Jane a text, well aware Ryder's focus was now him doing the same There were so many things he wanted to say, but it didn't feel right to do it in a text: Beautiful, baby, I promise we'll talk tonight.
Ryder leaned closer, peeking at his phone. "Say something better than that. She wants dirty talk right now. Show her you're not a scared bitch, and you want her just like this--all sexy. Or she's gonna be embarrassed for trying."
"I want every version of her, but I want to talk to her in person."
"No, you're afraid she's not going to handle the dirty shit you want." Ryder smirked, and David knew it was because Ryder had had a taste of Jane's wild side. "Trust me, she wants all of it."
David was still unsure, but he didn't have time to discuss it more. He lowered his voice and locked his screen as Lance walked toward him. "Don't you dare show her to anyone else."
Instead of joking, Ryder gave him a serious nod. "She's ours."
David straightened as fear and anger shot down his spine. "I'll make everything up to her."
"Then do it, fucker." Ryder quieted when noises from the other players and coaches coming filled the locker room.
