‘So, Carter has been cleared to come back to work in a month...’

Will stared at Kelby, nonplussed. ‘That means that I can leave Durban in a month or so?’

‘We’ll pay you out for the full three months.’

He didn’t give a toss about the money. It was leaving Lu earlier than he’d bargained for that was threatening to throw him into a tailspin.

‘Also, at the director’s meeting last night, the board agreed that Carter will retire in six months. I can offer you a position as consultant coach until then and a five-year contract as head coach when he’s gone. What do you think?’

Will yanked his thoughts away from Lu. ‘Giving control back to Carter sucks. I don’t know if I can do it and then work under him.’

‘It’s for six months, dude! And he’s a good coach. You’d learn a lot from him.’

Will placed his hands on Kelby’s desk and straightened his arms, thinking it through. ‘I’ve been getting other offers from other teams. Firm consultant and then head coach offers from Melbourne and Auckland.’

Kelby leaned back in his chair. ‘Have you talked to Lu about any of this?’

Will frowned at him. ‘No.’

‘Don’t you think you should?’

Will stood up and folded his arms belligerently. Because he was still reeling at the thought of how much he didn’t want to leave her, he narrowed his eyes at Kelby’s comment. ‘She isn’t a factor. We’re just friends.’

‘Friends! Yeah, keep telling yourself that.’ Kelby shook his head in disbelief. ‘And if you let her go then you’re crazier than I gave you credit for.’

Let her go? He hadn’t even had her yet! He’d spent most of last night tossing and turning, and when he had slept his dreams had been super-hot and had involved him taking Lu fifty ways to Sunday.

As a result he was tired, irritable, and still as confused and even hornier than he had been yesterday afternoon. He thought he was either a saint or an idiot to have dropped her off at home after their day on the beach and left her there.

No, he was definitely an idiot.

Will glanced at his watch. ‘I’ve got to go. I’m late as it is.’

Kelby frowned. ‘Late for what?’

‘Game analysis. It’s at four.’

‘Do you ever read any of the memos I send you? I asked for game analysis to be postponed because Lu is doing that nude calendar shoot with the squad this evening.’

Will turned around very slowly and sent Kelby his death-ray glare. ‘What. Did. You. Say?’

Kelby didn’t do a very good job of trying to hide his smile. ‘Twelve of the franchise clubs are collaborating on a calendar featuring the various teams to raise money for charity. Each franchise is responsible for capturing their own discreet image of the team.’

‘And Lu is doing this?’

Kelby looked innocent. ‘She is our photographer. I don’t know why you’re looking so surprised about this. I’ve been mailing you about it all week!’

‘I saw the subject heading and thought you were joking.’

‘And Lu didn’t mention it to you?’

Will frowned.
