Anna "Do you think it's safe to open the door?" I ask Robin. The fear in my chest makes my heart thump around like a caged animal. "It might be Jason or Maddox..." "No, they wouldn't band on the door like that," Robin peers down at me with a murderous light in his eyes. "But I'm sure you know who
"I'm not a puppy." I crack a smile so wide it hurts. "No, you're not..." my heart is pounding, and I place my hands on either side of Robin's head. "You're my husband, and I'm touching you because..." Robin searches my face. "Because?" I hold my breath. Robin is looking at me expectantly while pa
Anna Shit. How do I make my heart stop racing? I'm more nervous today than I was on my first day working as a professor. Maybe I should have said yes to Maddox and Michelle asking me if I wanted to spend the day with them? Yesterday Robin and I enjoyed a great BBQ at Maddox and Michelle's place
"Likewise," Josh withdraws his hand, and then he says something that I don't find that friendly. "I thought you would be taller." "Oh," I'm not sure how to respond to that. "You did?" Is there anything clever to say in this situation? "Yeah..." Josh grins. "Robin is six-foot-five, and you're what?
Anna My heart falters after seeing I don't have a plate, but I brush the worry away. Robin, on the other hand, looks ready to kill. Anger ticks against his jaw, but his voice is soft when he speaks to me. "I will get you a plate." It gets easier to breathe. "Thank you." Smiling, he taps me on t
Even though I spoke calmly, Ebba winces. She clearly didn't expect me to ask her that question so calmly. I can see it on her face, how she had hoped to make me insecure and chase me away from her son. "That's quite an age gap." "I know." Believe me, I know. "Robin is a very handsome man too."
Robin Hmm? Where am I? Oh, wait. Right... Since Anna and I drank whiskey with my dad and brother until it became early morning, we stayed the night at my parent's place. She is curled up next to me now, snoring lightly. Happiness swells inside my chest. I can't get over how much I love slee
Anna Life seems to be smiling at me. Two weeks have passed since I first met Robin's parents, and I consider my relationship with his dad good. We added each other on social media and everything. I have beaten that old man at every game there is to play over the phone! However, I'm not sure if
"You're doing great," Lynn tells me, and my chest swells when she looks at me with proud eyes. Her hand touches mine, and her lips curl into a sweet, adorable smile. "I know that you will be drafted. You train like an idiot, and football is the only thing on your mind, except for maybe some fishing.
Isaac It's been two months since Lynn and I started dating. Things have been going great. She comes to my football games, gets along with my mom, and I'm just constantly floating on pink clouds. But today, I can't make my stomach stop churning. I'm about to have dinner with Lynn and her parents.
Eventually, I wet my lips. "Can I... Can I hug you?" Isaac breaks out into a smile. "Of course." I don't waste a second. I push away the tray and launch myself at Isaac, who laughs in surprise when I tackle him to his back. I can't help it. I like him so much and immediately squeeze him in a bear
Lynn I don't know what to say when Isaac walks into the room. I know we both like each other now, but what do I tell him? How do I get into that topic? Do I say nothing at all and let him talk? My nerves are all over the place, and so are my thoughts. A shadow moves over me, and then Isaac stands
Lynn I wake up with a terrible headache and groan. "I'm never drinking alcohol ever again!" A snicker comes from above me, and I see Isaac's face when I open my eyes. We are lying in a bed together, and I'm nestled to his side, head resting between his pectoral muscle and muscular arm. "Good mor
Oh, I will. I stride forward. There is no space for me on the couch, but I force my way into a corner by lifting Lynn into my lap. She yelps in surprise and leans against me. Magnus glares at me, and I flash him a smirk when Lynn isn't looking. I'm such a lucky guy. Her butt rests on my thighs,
Isaac I stare at my reflection, trying to muster the courage needed to tell Lynn I like her more than a friend. We won our game earlier. Countless people are partying downstairs, but I can't go there. I'm not ready. For the billionth time, I point at myself. "You are a brave guy, and you will tel
I'm not petite, like... My mom is a Latina, and I have curves. I'm not ugly, though, but I get the feeling Isaac would want a small girlfriend. Sure, he calls me tiny, but compared to that blonde? I feel big. What if Isaac wants a more petite woman, like, even his mom is tiny? Isn't it scientifica
Lynn Two weeks after moving back home, I'm sitting on the football bleachers with Linnea and Natalie. Natalie's dad, Zane, is good friends with my dad. They used to be old teammates back when they played in the NFL. Linnea's dad is dead, but her brother used to play in the NFL too. "It's exciting
