Saved myself a whole world of trouble, too.

The only reason I had one dark secret now was because I let myself get involved with Coach’s son, knowing that it was a bad idea.

I breathed deep, my heart rate finally settling a little now that Gray was looking over at Snugbug instead of the pictures.

“I’m awful with school. I’m taking a class on the Roman Empire this semester,” I told him. “I can alreadyfeelthe F heading my way.”

He shook his head. “The Roman Empire is fucking incredible history. You could get an A based on interest alone.”

“You don’t know how bad I am with classes. I promise, I could manage to get an F in a class even if the subject was football.”

“I’ll help you study. If you can focus, that is.”

“Just told you I don’t know how.”

His gaze flicked up to meet mine. “If I teach you about the Roman Empire will you be hard half the time?”

I knew he was just teasing me because I’d admitted too much while we were in the bar.

But just the suggestion actually gave me a half-chub again now, too.

I was too needy for my own good.

I used to only lust for guys I actually liked, but the more popularity I got in the football world, the more I felt like I could doanything.

“I’ll quit trying,” I told him, attempting to convince both of us. “I know I’m not your type.”

He lifted an eyebrow. “Never said you weren’t my type.”

I paused. “What do you mean?”

“I haveeyes. I’m pretty sure anyone who’s capable of being attracted to men and has eyes would say it, too. Of course you’re my type.”

“What type is that?”

His gaze smoldered. “Ego bigger than the fucking moon, for starters.”

“Guess that’s something we have in common.”

Something crackled between us.

“A mouth I want to stuff quiet,” he said in a low tone.

“Funny. I could say the same to you.”

He nodded forward, looking down.

“A hard cock,” he said.

I glanced downward and saw that my hard-on was completely visible now through my shorts.
