Most Desirable Player (Face-Off Legacy/Campus Kings 7)

“For my sake, I hope you’re right.”

Her grin widens. “I am.”

“I’m tired,” I admit. “I think I’m gonna text Julian and then go to bed.”

Sadie gets up from the bed and runs a hand down the back of her skirt. “Sweet dreams, babe.” She blows me a kiss on her way out of my bedroom, shutting the door behind her.

After I dress in my pajamas and crawl into bed, my phone dings with a new message. It’s Julian. He must read minds because I was just about to text him.

Julian: My sheets still smell like you. I can’t stop smelling your pillows.

My pillows? I lean back against the headboard for a second and consider my response.

Briana: Sorry about that.

Julian: Don’t be. I love the way you smell.

Briana: Is that so? What do I smell like?

Julian: Like apples and vanilla. I want to eat you every time I’m around you.

I blush at his dirty talk. He’s so bad. I love it. Julian knows the right things to say to turn me on. Simple things like this always had an affect on me.

Briana: I can’t take all the credit for it. That’s my body wash and shampoo you’re smelling.

Julian: After I wash my sheets, I want you to come over and roll around on them with me. *wink, wink*

Briana: Stupid jocks *insert eye roll*

Julian: I didn’t mean it like that. But I wouldn’t mind doing that with you. Fuck, you felt so good, baby.

Briana: Such a charmer.

Julian: I aim to please.

A minute passes where I contemplate my next message, but Julian beats me to the punch.

Julian: How are you feeling? Any better?

Briana: About the same. I think I’m gonna try to get some sleep.

Julian: Night, beautiful. Don’t worry about your classes tomorrow. I’ll handle your professors.

I yawn, sleep slowly taking over me.

Briana: “Thanks. Night.”

After I set the alarm on my phone for the morning, I flip off the lamp on my beside table and roll onto my side and pass out with Julian on my mind.

Chapter Fifteen

Briana

On Monday morning, I wake up to a pounding headache and the irritating ringing of my cell phone. I glance at the alarm clock on my nightstand and sigh. It’s too damn early in the morning for someone to call me. I lift the phone from the table and smile when I see Julian’s name on the screen.

“Hey, why are you calling so early?”

“I wanted to see how you’re feeling and tell you that I dealt with your professor already. He’s okay with you taking the exam next week.”
