SEVENTEEN

She looked calm, an angel while she slept.

Had he taken advantage? He suspected he had. He also suspected he didn’t care.

If he’d given her one small moment of peace during this turbulent time for her, then he refused to regret a moment. Violet was a passionate woman both in and out of bed, a woman whose emotions needed to be fed.

Slipping inside her, he’d found her hot, tight, as new as the first time he’d been with a woman. He wanted to touch her again, trace his fingers over every tattoo, explore her more thoroughly. He wanted to learn all her secrets. For now he let his eyes run point, not wishing to wake her. He’d have to get back to the house soon to take over for the tutor.

His phone buzzed in the pocket of his sweats, now pooled on the floor. Leaning over the side of the bed, he removed it and grimaced at a text from Remy: You okay?

Shit, he’d charged out of the locker room two hours ago without a word to his teammates.

Yeah, just had to be somewhere.

A pause while Remy typed. Anything you need to tell me?

How about, I’m not drinking but I’ve found a new addiction? The last thing he needed was Remy getting in his business, but the man was born to interfere. He didn’t want to alarm him and say there was a problem with the girls—or break Violet’s confidence, because he was guessing she hadn’t told her sisters.

A friend needed my help.

Let me know if there’s anything I can do. We’re gonna need you at 100% this week.

Bren smiled grimly at the phone. Since coming across Violet in her car and learning what was troubling her, he’d been unable to focus on his game and it had shown in practice. Quick dispossessions, sloppy passes.

He put the phone back into his pocket and let his gaze wander around her bedroom. Like Violet, it was a mishmash of styles that somehow managed to come together in a way that worked. A half-finished abstract mural took up the west wall, photos of what looked like her mom and maybe her aunts took up the east. Violet had certainly put her stamp on this place, which was strange, considering she was supposed to be leaving soon.

He turned north and found a pair of startling green eyes smiling at him.

“Uh-oh,” she said.

“What?”

“I know that look.”

“What look is that?”

“The look that says you might be regretting what just happened here.”

“Not regretting. Never regretting.” He’d stopped beating himself up over crappy decisions months ago. “I just worry I might have taken advantage.”

“Pretty sure I took advantage of you, Nessie.” She turned over to face him, and he couldn’t help but notice how her breasts moved.

They’d felt different in his hands. Not in a bad way, but in an undiscovered country kind of way. He knew she was self-conscious about them, but when everything about her was perfect to him, she needn’t be.

“You had just heard some emotional news.
