“Did you know Vanessa Cartwright plays a serious game of hard to get?” Denver quirked a brow.
Now I was curious. “Really?”
“Yes.”
Matt looked over at Denver and grimaced. “Denver, don’t you dare get any ideas.”
“Too late, man. The ideas are rolling into my head.”
“What’s on your mind?” I asked.
“You don’t plan to keep your pants on the night before the first game, do you?” Denver challenged.
I smiled at him. The man knew me too well. “I don’t know yet. I can’t help myself when I start thinking with my dick.”
“Okay, then, her… get her. Get laid the night before the game, with her.”
I widened my eyes at him. What had Vanessa been up to? I knew what Denver was like. He wouldn’t say something like that unless there was some impossible challenge.
“Her?” I chuckled.
“Denver, are you crazy?” Matt asked. He actually gave him an incredulous stare. “She’s the team owner’s daughter. You’re fucking crazy.”
“Yes I am. Bro, you know I can’t resist a game.” Denver chuckled.
“I’ll kill you myself if we lose.” Matt pointed at him.
Denver ignored him and looked back to me. “Two hundred grand says youdon’tget her.”
Oh wow, this was getting even more interesting. “Look at me. Why the hell do you think I wouldn’t get her?”
“Trust us the woman plays a seriously mean game of hard to get,” Matt answered. “She’s very picky.”
“So, she turned you down?” I guessed and narrowed my eyes at him.
“She did, but not just me,” he replied and bit the inside of his lip.
“Right, well, you better get your checkbook out.” I turned my focus back to Denver. “Two hundred grand says I sleep with her the night before the game. I’ll even send you a picture.” I could be such an ass sometimes.
This time was perhaps the biggest.
“You’re on, newbie.” Denver put his hand out to shake mine. I took it and smiled wider.
This was going to be the easiest two hundred g’s I’d ever made.
Back in high school, Vanessa Cartwright had wanted me bad, even when she knew I was the devil.
She’d all but served herself up to me after homecoming when she waited for me in my bedroom and offered up her virginity.
She could play hard to get all she wanted with these jerks. They weren’t me.
This was going to be easy and very enjoyable.
Back then, I never took what she was offering and regretted it.
Now would be a different matter altogether.
“You’re on.” I smiled and looked at her just in time to catch her glancing my way with those wild emerald green eyes.
