Thoughts of Dylan made my stomach twist. If he knew what I was doing with his best friend, he’d likely not approve! Well, Dylan wasn’t here right now. And this arrangement with Asher was only temporary anyway. Likely Dylan wouldn’t even find out. The realizations cooled me, and I followed Asher to
I waited with baited breath. Elena had been so brazen that she had actually confronted Coach and threatened to report him for giving me special treatment, accusing him of having a sexual relationship with me. Now Coach hesitated, seeming very much like he was about to share my true secret. It woul

I introduced Aimee and Nicole the next morning at my favorite café. At first, they just looked at each other, but then one of them started to smile, and the other did too. Before I knew it, all three of us were laughing like we were old friends and not a recently accrued bunch. We talked about many
I very nearly swooned in his arms. “You did great in the game,” I told him. My voice was still hoarse from all the loud cheering I’d done. The cheerleading squad was in shambles and therefore skipped the game. But I still went. I’d never miss the chance to see Asher in his element. “I know,” he s
