“Never heard you complain about it before.” I waited for a response but all I got was the shower going on. What the hell?
“Bambi, come back here!”
Nothing.
“Don’t leave me like this. You want my dick to fall off before we cross the equator?”
Still nothing.
I rolled off the mattress and headed for the bathroom to find her standing—still butt naked—in front of the mirror inspecting some non-existent blemish on her face. Her eyes darted to mine, and then down to where said dick stood at attention.
She turned to lean against the sink. “We don’t have time,” she smiled, “besides, I thought you got your fill last night.”
I walked over to her, slipping my arms around her waist. “Yeah but that was hours ago and you’ve just sat on my dick—topless—for the past ten minutes. And we always have time.”
She pressed her palms against my chest. “I don’t know if always counts when we’re running late for an international flight. You think they’re going to hold the plane for you or something?”
“They won’t need to, we’ll get there on time.”
“How can you say that, it’s peak hour outside!”
I latched onto her thighs, pulling her up onto the countertop. “You trust me?”
Her eyes softened. “Of course, always.”
I kissed her, gently coaxing her lips apart. Nothing, not even hearing that she loved me made me feel better than knowing I had her trust. “Good.” I hitched her off the counter top. “Now trust me when I tell you there’s plenty of time to go back to bed and not miss our flight. All right?”
She rolled her eyes but was grinning. “All right Quarterback, I suppose you can have your way this time.”
Little did she know, I was planning on having my way with her for the rest of my life.

Olivia Callahan is a woman on a mission. Determined to make her mark in the male dominated world of sports journalism, when she lands a career defining opportunity she knows it’s make or break time. Olivia’s boss has given her the green light to produce her very own documentary, and she’s not going to let anything get in the way of perfection.
After a few setbacks in college, Nate Sullivan is finally on his way to the big leagues as the newest member of the New York Warriors. Determined to put his somewhat colorful past behind him, Nate’s all about the straight and narrow as he sets out to prove he’s worthy of the first-round draft pick that’s caused so much debate from fans and media.
The last thing Nate wants is to re-hash the stories that have everyone questioning his worth. But when his new club directs him to set the record straight, he has no choice but to cooperate with the feisty, determined reporter who shows up at his door. Olivia is thrilled that Nate Sullivan is her man. His colorful background is just the thing to take her story from memorable to award winning.
What neither of them expected is their attraction to one another, yet try as they might, determination gives way to temptation eventually. As Nate battles to protect his image and Olivia fights to produce the story of her career, they must decide what they’re willing to give up in order to gain each other.
