Tackled (Alpha Ballers #1)

by Lucy Snow

  “Hey yourself.”

  “Is that anyway to greet a New England Patriot?”

  I shoved him back a bit, but he barely moved. “Ugh, you’re going to be even worse now, aren’t you? Your ego didn’t really need a boost.”

  “So much worse, Lily, you have no idea.”

  “You’re lucky I like you.”

  He frowned. “Like me? That’s all it is? I’m wounded.”

  I stepped in close. “You’ll get over it. Maybe I like you a lot.”

  “That’s a little bit better. We’ll have to work on that.”

  So Drake was a New England Patriot for real now. The front office had decided that now was the right time to get out from under Mike Sampson’s contract, especially since he had pulled those holdout shenanigans instead of coming to camp on time.

  That left a roster spot for their new #1 wide receiver, undrafted free agent Drake Rollins of Cal.

  That had a nice ring to it.

  My coverage of the Drake Rollins story was the biggest thing in sports journalism. I was back in Boston now that the preseason was over, but I had been assigned to cover the Patriots full time during the season.

  It was going to be an interesting year - the team looked great and there were high expectations all around.

  And I would spend it covering my favorite team.

  Oh, and my boyfriend? He was on the team.

  Cause, you know, Drake Rollins was my boyfriend.

  In case I hadn’t made that part clear.

  “You got some time off?”

  “Yeah, last weekend before the season starts, everyone gets one last weekend to do whatever they want.”

  I tugged at his belt, looking up at him. “And what do you want to do?”

  Drake wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in and kissing me. “Lily, I don’t care what we do this weekend, as long as you don’t leave my sight.”

  I was OK with that.
