Exclusive Excerpt:

I Want to Know What Love Is

Dylan

Nothing about her makes sense. Especially not my reaction to her. She knows who I am and is clearly unimpressed. Her golden brown hair swings in a casual ponytail, but I’d bet my left nut she’s not a student here. She’s older. Her dark and serious eyes pin me. And her mouth... sweet full lips with a sensual quiver and damn playful dimples, stun me. Like a sucker punch to the gut. Trouble.

Trouble number three. Fuck.

"Who are you?" I finally find my tongue, but I want to bite it off as soon as I speak. Out of my fucking jumbled reaction to her, I am first and foremost defensive. Not cool. Getting back on track, I dredge up my sarcastic charm. "Let me guess. You're a new scout for St. Paul University’s football team." My smirk doubles up while I watch her, trying to make sense of her.

"I'm the new Assistant women's basketball coach. Close enough. I know what's what in the athletic department, being on the faculty & administration side of the St. Paul U world." Her words and the tilt of her chin at a slight angle up in spite of her height with the heels almost rivaling mine, challenge me.

"That right?" I don't know what else to say besides what are you doing tonight and that doesn't seem right given her position. The other side of the impenetrable divide between students and faculty.

She nods and rolls her eyes like I'm an insect beneath her bother. "Well it's been scintillating chatting with you, but I have things to do. And you don't want to be late. That new kid—"

"Doesn't stand a chance for the next two seasons," I say, matching her arrogant smile.

She laughs. "Let's check in on that in another month, QB—"

"Dylan Jones. You can call me Dylan. I'll see you next month."

"It's a date, Jonesy. Same time, same place. Minus the cup next time."

She walks past me, leaving a whiff of her intoxicating flowery scent like forbidden fruit. Ms. Hot and Confusing struts down the hall to the athletic staff offices and I stare for a minute, watching each graceful step, the way her golden pony tail sways in the opposite direction of her hips, the way the gray skirt strains across her ass. Inevitable hormone driven heat rushes though me. No matter how inappropriate it may be. My dick doesn't care if she's so far off limits she may as well be on the other side of the moon.

Pushing back with my vaunted self-discipline because I can't afford any more trouble, I calm my dick down by forcing the image of coach's face front and center in my mind. I'm supposed to be early to practice, to set an example for the team and I can't afford to piss away the time. So, I turn away and head in the opposite direction of the hot enigma who already feels like a mirage, like my mind is playing evil tricks, needing to round out my trouble trifecta.

Because there couldn't be a more troublesome possibility to kill my season than a sexy hot mesmerizing puzzle of a woman who makes Adam's Eve look like a lamb than ...

That's when I realize she didn't tell me her name.
