The campus was twenty minutes away without traffic, and for once I wished there was a mile-long pileup. I wanted to breathe in his scent for the rest of the night; hell\u2026the rest of my life. Sable-haired babies; tall, coordinated athletes. We\u2019d make the perfect children if they looked like their father. A laugh escaped my lips. Crazy. I was absolutely certifiable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want to share the joke?\u201d In the close confines of the car, his thick, molasses voice made me fidget.<\/p>\n<p>My good-girl sense of honor got the best of me and I spilled part of the beans. \u201cThis is unreal. I\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t want to make you uncomfortable, but really. You\u2026Killian MacGregor, driving me home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He gave a low, sexy chuckle. \u201cMy mother would be proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh gosh\u2026you even have a mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This time he laughed and every nerve ending I possessed went on high alert. My nipples tightened, my breathing grew shallow, and I clenched my thighs tighter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, and I was even created the old-fashioned way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He. Did. Not. Just. Say. That.<\/p>\n<p>His next words drew me out of my fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow old are you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I turned and looked at his profile\u2014the line of his jaw, the curve of his nose\u2026still perfect even in shadow.<\/p>\n<p>I took a long a breath. \u201cTwenty-one and old enough to know better than to let my sister drag me to a party like the one we just left. Sorry, no disrespect, but that\u2019s not my scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I had completely blown it now. Given away the fact that \u201cslutty college girl\u201d wasn\u2019t my thing even if, for the first time in my life, I wanted to qualify for the slut Olympics. I couldn\u2019t help thinking about what he saw\u2026my favorite skirt, a tad too short, but it accented my legs, which were my best feature. Unfortunately, when it came to my chest, there was nothing much to show. I\u2019d worn a peach-colored, button-up blouse with just a touch of lace on the shoulders for sleeves; more clothes than any two girls at the party wore, including my sister. My nothing-special brown hair had been curled, but was now in complete disarray. I was tall and gangly looking, though he had no idea I was usually quite coordinated and lithe.<\/p>\n<p>He glanced at me and the headlights from an oncoming car showed that sexy tilt to his lips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you run for the college team?\u201d He turned his head back to the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. Scholarship.\u201d I wasn\u2019t ashamed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you\u2019re good?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiddle of the pack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t say anything after that. I gave directions when we got closer. He pulled in front of the dilapidated college-like dorm apartments and my hand went to the door handle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not touch that.\u201d There it was again, his \u201cdon\u2019t mess with me\u201d voice.<\/p>\n<p>Funny, because I didn\u2019t even consider going against his order.<\/p>\n<h2>Author Website<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wickedstorytelling.com\/\">http:\/\/wickedstorytelling.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Best place to buy your book<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Play-Completion-Book-Holly-Roberts-ebook\/dp\/B00FYYO4XG\/ref=la_B0097U0LHQ_1_5?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422297183&amp;sr=1-5\">Play\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Killian MacGregor, the hottest quarterback in the NFL, eyes the perfect pair of female legs, he spends an hour tracking the gorgeous woman <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-listing","category-fiction"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/playsmall.jpg?fit=1176%2C799&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3099"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3099\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8225,"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3099\/revisions\/8225"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.everywritersresource.com\/selfpublished\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
