The feelings

SAIGE POV

As Coach Collin pushed through the locker room door, I tried to slow our walking down. I liked the feeling of having his strong arm around my waist, his hand touching my bare skin at my hip. His smell was intoxicating and I knew he’d be letting me go soon enough so I was trying to revel in his scent just a bit longer.

“Let’s set you down here,” Collin stated as he pointed to the wood bench between a row of lockers. “I’ll go grab the first aid kit.”

After he helped me sit down, he disappeared behind the lockers and I grinned, trying to figure out what to do next. I really needed to get this guy’s attention. He was playing hard to get.

He came back a moment later and kneeled down in front of me, popped open the first aid kit, and grabbed an ace bandage.

“Let’s see what we’ve got here.” He grabbed the back of my calf and rested my leg on his knee as he pulled off my shoe. I hissed through my teeth for good measure, trying not to laugh.

I had slipped my other foot out of its shoe as I slid it up his leg and between them. My foot seductively slid over his inner thigh as I felt him grip the back of my calf and watched him close his eyes tightly.

It was clear that I was affecting him; my plan was working.

He opened his eyes again and began examining my “bad” foot, totally ignoring the one between his legs.

“It doesn’t look broken. Let’s get you wrapped up and get you out of here.” His voice sounded rough like he was struggling to speak and it was only making me want to smile more.

I pulled my foot from between his legs and spread them wide open, knowing what the coach would get an eye full of. The black lace panties I wore this morning were working to my advantage as I watched his lids lower with desire, his eyes never leaving my sweet spot between my legs.

“Yeah, Coach- that’s for you”, I thought to myself.

His hands slid up to my knees, gripping me tightly, as a shiver ran over my body. I had never felt this aroused by a man’s hands on me before.

Right when I thought he was going to go farther, taking advantage of the invite I was clearly giving him, he clamped my knees closed tightly and glared up at me.

When he went back to wrapping my “bad” ankle, I let out a small giggle. His glare whipped back up to me and I could tell he wanted to say something to me but he didn’t.

Damn- why was it so hard to get this guy’s attention? He was killing me! Normally I just had to bat my eyes at a guy and he dropped to his knees in front of me. I was giving this guy more than subtle hints and he wasn’t taking one of them. What was his deal?

I brought my other foot up between his legs again as he let out an annoyed groan, reaching between his legs to grip me.

“Saige,” he growled out, glaring up at me.

The locker room door opened, and a moment later TJ stood there staring over at us. His eyes accessed the situation but he said nothing. Coach shoved my playful foot away from his thigh and finished wrapping me up before he stood and turned to TJ.

“Think you can give her a ride home?” Collin spoke

What?! No! We’re not done here, Coach!

“Yeah- come on, Saige. I was just leaving anyway.” TJ walked over and helped me up.

I limped out of the locker room, TJ’s arm around my waist, as I looked over my shoulder and glared at Coach Collin. He was watching us intently, an unreadable expression on his face.

Once we were in the parking lot, I shoved TJ away from me and walked faster toward his car.

He burst out laughing but said nothing as he unlocked his car and we got in.

“What are you playing at here, Saige?” TJ asked.

“What are you talking about?” I was annoyed. He just interrupted my plan. I could feel I was getting closer to breaking down the coach’s wall and TJ just ruined it for me.

TJ sighed. “Saige, I’ve known you forever. You’re a player: a good one at that. But, you need to watch it. He’s part of the staff and us guys actually really like him. You need to stop whatever it is you’re trying to do.”

I scoffed incredulously. “I’m not trying to do anything.” I crossed my arms over my chest, upset that TJ seemed to know me much more than I thought he did.

“Right,” he laughed. “I do have to ask, though: Why not me? I’m like the only guy you’ve never tried to sleep with. What gives?”

I glared over at him, wondering why he was asking such a stupid question. TJ was beyond hot, the total high school football star package, but he was off-limits.

“You’re off-limits to me, TJ. I don’t screw my best friend’s love interests. I may be a shitty person, but Kora is family.” There, I said it. She might kill me or thank me- only time will tell.

His eyes went huge as he grinned over at me. “Kora? As in, sexy and tall, flexible Kora? She’s into me?!”

“Oh, don’t play dumb, TJ. Kora is basically in love with you.” Oops. Yep, she’s definitely going to kill me. “Really?...” TJ looked happily surprised, the grin still spread across his face. “Is she coming to my party tonight?”

“Of course, she is,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “But don’t you dare tell her what I said. She’ll kill me.”

He zipped his mouth. “My lips are sealed.”

TJ stopped in front of my house and I dreaded having to get out of his car. I being here. What made it worse was the fact that there was an unfamiliar vehicle in the driveway and I knew what that meant.

“Thanks for the ride, TJ. I’ll see you tonight.” I went to get out of his car but he stopped me.

“I meant what I said, Saige. Leave the coach alone.” He glared at me, his playful and smiling demeanour gone.

“Yeah, I heard you.” I got out and slammed his door. I may have heard him, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to listen.

This fun game of cat and mouse was just beginning and I never give up easily. Especially now that I saw how Collin looked up at me and the way I felt when his hands were on me. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but there was something different about this chase and I wouldn’t stop until I figured it out.
