Chapter Six

Sam spent the next week training—keeping his body in prime condition was just as important in the off-season as it was during the playoffs. When he wasn’t at the gym, he was visiting Holly Johnson in the hospital or thinking about Abby.

Actually, he thought about Abby when he was working out, and when he was doing basically anything. She was on his mind all the time, which wasn’t unusual. He’d been preoccupied with thoughts of her for weeks. But before their hot and yet admittedly disastrous night together, he’d been fixated on the idea of getting her into bed. Now, he wanted more. At some point his feelings for her had morphed into something much deeper than mere sexual need. And he wanted Abby to admit there was more between them than rioting hormones too.

He wanted her, all of her, not just her body. When he confessed this to Scott over the phone, the man had had the audacity to laugh.

“What’s so damn funny?” Sam frowned.

“I just never thought I’d see the day, not after the number Tiffani did on you,” Scott said. “You said you’d never let yourself fall for another woman.”

“Abby’s not Tiffani,” Sam said defensively. Was he falling for Abby?

More like he’d fallen, past tense.

“You right there. Tiffani was a piece of work. She was only ever interested in the money and fame that came along with being attached to you.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Humiliation still burned inside Sam when he recalled the way all his friends had warned him about Tiffani and how he’d ignored them. They’d seen what he refused to see—that the woman he loved was a gold-digging media tart. He’d been blinded by some black-magic combination of lust and infatuation that he’d mistaken for love.

“Give yourself a break, man,” Scott said. “It’s been years. You were only twenty-two when you married the evil princess. You’re older now, and almost wise.”

“High praise coming from you, mate.”

“Don’t get used to it,” Scott quipped. “But you’ve definitely learned a bit more about women. Abby is not interested in you for your money or your fame.”

“If anything, they’re obstacles,” Sam mused. “But how am I going to work around that? Football is my life, and stuff that comes with it isn’t going away. I want to be with her, but maybe with all this extra crap that goes on in my life…maybe she won’t ever want to be with me.”

“Listen to you,” Scott chuckled. “All insecure and shit.”

“Shut the fuck up, Scott. Why did I call you anyway?”

“Because you wanted me to confirm your beliefs that Abby is nothing like your ex-wife,” Scott said, sounding like such a know it all Sam could have punched him in the nose. Then his friend’s voice turned sincere and the urge went away. “Here it is again for the record—she’s not. You didn’t listen to me about Tiffani, but you have to hear me now. Abby’s a good one. If you don’t mark your territory, I might take a run at her myself.
