CHAPTER 4

Hitting the brakes much harder than needed, Robin kept from nosing out into the path of an SUV. “Your lucky charm?”

Yves snapped against the safety harness. The car settled and threw them back. “Exactly. The team has won every game but one this season. They’re the same team as last year, when they won only three.” Yves went silent until Robin had them safely on the street. “The only change in the lineup is me. Except they’re not the same— they work harder now. And we win. I’m not doing it alone— I couldn’t. You come to games— they play with spirit. You come to practice, and they make the effort. They improve.”

“They’re doing it for you.” Robin’s knuckles went white on the steering wheel. “They want to be worthy of you.” So do I.

“Perhaps.” Yves rubbed his hand along his own thigh for a moment. A fleck of mud fell off, and he stopped. “But they worked much harder once you came to watch. So I think maybe they do it for both of us?”

“If they’re doing it for ‘the scout’, then they’re really doing it for you.” Robin refused to think of himself as valuable to the Barbarians, whom he didn’t know and who didn’t know him. “But I’m glad they’re doing it.”

“So am I.” Yves gave him that brilliant grin from the practice field, blinding at close range. “I like to win.”

The car suddenly felt the size of a shower stall. “So I should keep coming to practices?” Robin hung on the answer, missing the green left arrow and having to wait for the light to cycle.

“Please. Not just for the team.” Yves’ voice dropped. “I work harder when you watch.”

OMG, was Yves flirting? Robin swallowed hard. “Um, we’re about there. Where am I going?” He followed directions into the parking lot of a high-rise apartment building. “The team will be disappointed if you don’t join them for the celebrations, won’t they?”

“Probably, but they’ll be rejoicing for a long time and the game isn’t on for a few hours. Come upstairs and I can clean up, maybe explain enough rugby that we can both go without destroying the illusion that you understand the game well.” Yves had to get out of the convertible one leg at a time.

If the top were down, that would be less of a problem next time… If there were a next time. First Robin had to survive now.

An elevator that contained Yves really didn’t have enough oxygen in it. Robin tried to breathe normally until they reached the seventh floor, but the closeness of the man stole the air away. The car was intimate, but to go into Yves’ home… Robin went for what he hoped was a neutral topic. “Your scrum only pushed the other team over once today. Was that bad?”

Yves unlocked his door to let them into a not-very-lived-in living room, where mathematical rows of magazines populated the coffee tables and tan leather furniture grouped around a cream and tan Oriental rug with teal medallions.
