CHAPTER 16

MILES

“I just don’t know what I would do without Olivia,” I say, my voice dripping with the kind of sarcasm that Americans simply do not understand. It takes a considerable effort not to make a dramatic gesture too. Olivia though sees right through me. She shoots me a glare from across the table, which I meet with a wink.

Performance reviews are such a drag. But having Olivia to tease and flirt with definitely improves the experience.

Since we got back to Miami, we’ve been hooking up like three times a week, and it’s been amazing. I keep expecting her to get bored but sometimes she’s even the one to start it.

She doesn’t seem to be such a fan of the flirting, though.

“That’s great to hear,” says Olivia’s manager, Tim. I’m not sure what his exact purpose is beyond jumped-up office guy who thinks he’s a hotshot. “It’s awesome that you’re having a good time here with us. I hope you know that your well-being is important to us. After all, you are a star player, and you have been helping us out a whole bunch. The guys are happy to have you too.”

“It’s my pleasure,” I say, drawing out the syllables as I make eye contact with Olivia, licking my lips to try and communicate to her exactly what it is I’m thinking about. She looks away, frowning, her eyebrows crumpling in that adorable way that they do when she’s cross about something.

Carefully, I slip off one of my shoes and reach out to tap her leg with my toes, the trousers she’s wearing today really showing her bum off too. If I didn’t know better, I’d think she dressed up just to wind me up. She jumps a little at my touch but recovers admirably quickly, her glare deepening. I lick my lips again, grinning.

“I’ve got to say, we did have our concerns about you, Miles,” says Tim, blissfully unaware of what’s happening. “You’ve got yourself quite a reputation there. And even though we do need all the help we can get, some guy from England who by all reports is more than a little headstrong… Well, you wouldn’t have been our first pick, but we’re damn glad to have you now. You keep on scoring those winning goals and we’ll send you home as happy as Larry.”

“It’s like I always say, Mr. Leas: you gotta do what you gotta do.” I put enough emphasis on the word do that it makes Olivia shoot me another stern look. I reach out for the cup of coffee on the desk that
