Natron threw the Sports Illustrated across the room.

Everything was turning to shit.

It had only been a couple of hours since Carmen had left, and he missed her already. He hated not spending time at her loft watching her work. That was his down time. The time for the two of them. But since he broke his knee he hadn’t wanted to be a burden to her.

He hated not being able to fuck his girl this afternoon. How sad was that? Of course that was temporary, but telling himself that didn’t make it better. His relationship with Carmen was suffering, and his mamma was driving him insane—always hovering over him, treating him like a baby.

But dammit, he needed someone to bring him things, carry things for him, and empty the plastic urinal next to his bed. He took a deep breath and tried to ease his intensifying anxiety. When he’d seen Carmen, he had purposely not told her what a setback this injury was to his career.

The Vipers had put him on injured reserve, which basically meant he was off the team until he was healed and ready to play. There were only a handful of players who had kept in touch with him after he’d been deactivated, and one of them was his fellow wide receiver Marvin Stalcup.

For the past two weeks, Natron had watched Marvin light up the opposing defense and rise to the top of the leader list in yards returned. His friendship with Marvin had always been characterized by good-natured ribbing and friendly competition. Having Marvin on his team made him a better player, and vice versa.

To save face, Natron pretended to be happy for Marvin’s success, but in reality he was envious as hell. It ate him up inside that Marvin’s success had come at his expense. That him being out for the season cleared the way for his friend to basically replace him on the Vipers’ team.

Isolated from his team, unable to compete, reduced to an invalid, and now his wallet was being affected. He hadn’t told Carmen that his endorsements had all but dried up since news broke that he’d be out for the year. According to his agent, most of the companies had put their deal ‘on hold,’ while a few had unceremoniously dumped him as their spokesman.

The toothpaste deal was the only one still in play, at least his agent had confirmation of that. His salary with the Vipers ought to cover his bills, but he was taking a hit from this injury on every front.

Rummaging on the bedside table, he found a pain pill, popped it in his mouth, and swallowed.
