PLAYING THE PLAYER (M×M)
*NO UPDATES ON SUNDAYS*
~ ALISTAIR ~
I hate him.
There’s no point in admiring what you can’t be. I hate his sharp tongue, his smug smirk, the way he looks at me like he already knows how this ends.
I don’t like men.
Calvin Rutledge is a problem. A problem I can’t ignore. A problem that’s in my face, under my skin, unraveling me one smirk at a time.
But the worst part? I want him.
And he knows it.
Now, every glance burns, every touch lingers, and every fight makes me crave the one thing I swore I’d never want—him. A man. A know-it-all who plays by his own rules.
I was never supposed to want him.
And yet, here I am… falling.

~ CALVIN ~
I know his type. Rich. Arrogant. A cocky football star who thinks the world revolves around him.
Alistair Morano is all that—and more. My sworn enemy. My reluctant project partner. My ‘boss’.
He thinks I’m just another nerd he can push around. Cute.
But here’s the thing—he’s the one being played.
By the time he realizes I’m the one pulling the strings, it’ll be too late. Because he’ll be mine.
Mine to tease.
Mine to break.
Mine to ruin.
And when he finally falls? I’ll be right there, waiting to catch him, just to break him all over again.
