More Than Enough (Enough #2) by Kate Daniels

last season, and when she watched I absolutely destroyed the other team’s offense. With her on the field every game, I’m excited about how many plays I’ll be making. She always gives me that extra little nudge of adrenaline that makes me take things to the next level. I’m ready to break my record on tackles next week against the Citadel.
    Just then the defensive Coach breaks into my thoughts when he pounds my helmet hard. “Keller, are you even paying attention to this next play. I’m about to blow the whistle, and you looked absolutely lost in thought. That’s a good way to get killed out here on the field. Pay attention to the plays, or you’ll wind up on the bench. I don’t care how good you were last year. Everyone has to give a hundred percent every practice to play. Got it?” I just nod and say, “Sorry, Coach.”
    I hate when I get caught not concentrating out here, but I know Coach Philips is full of shit about me sitting the bench. They’ve built their defense around my speed and ability to read the plays. I know I’ve got a starting spot on this team, but I’m a firm believer in leading by example. So I need to be focused every second at practice so the rest of the players are too. I get through the rest of practice with some decent plays and a few hard tackles. Brayden is working with the head coach on a pass play, and he looks like he could be there for a while.
    I feel guilty but get excited that I could have some time alone with Carter. So I run to the showers and don’t waste more than five minutes getting ready. I race to the gym and poke my head in to see the dance team just wrapping up. I see Carter dancing in the front with everyone positioned around her and have to smile. I’ve never seen her in any other position other than that. She’s always the center focal point with her perfect moves and beautiful body. I smile as they wrap up their song with her doing a back flip into a split.
    She jumps up quick and hustles over to me right away. She’s a little sweaty but looks even sexier with her skin glistening from it, and her yellow sports bra and black shorts with a matching yellow line fitting her like a second skin. “Hey, Kell, how’d practice go? Is Brayden getting the hand off pass better?” I smile at her understanding of our sport and inform her, “Not yet, it looks like it could be a while for him to get it the way Coach Tanner wants it done, but he’ll get it. Coach just wants it to be like second nature to him. So when he’s in a high pressure game situation, he can pull it off even with the nerves.”
    She pouts but responds, “I know, Bray is just so hard on himself though, and I hate that I haven’t seen him hardly at all today.” I just give her a look to let her know that I know they got sometime in today, or Brayden wouldn’t have been smiling so much as he got ready for football practice. She looked back at me wide-eyed but not able to pull off innocent and was about to defend herself when Athena came bounding up.
    She was wearing a hot pink sports bra and black shorts that made her tan long legs look unbelievable. Her red hair was in two braids down her back that somehow made her look even sexier than usual. I had to blink and make myself remember what Carter and I were talking about. Athena turned to Carter after giving me a flirty smile and says, “So you r eady to go grab something to eat now? I know you said you were starved earlier since you had no time between volleyball and dance practice to eat.”
    Carter responds eagerly, “Yes, that sounds great; I’m absolutely starved.” Then she turns to me and asks, “Kell, you wanna tag along?” She gives me her sweetest smile, and I nod in agreement without even thinking about it. Athena chimes in, “Great, just let me grab my stuff.” I frown and Carter says, “Don’t be like that, Kell. She’s been really great to me, and I like her. She seems to not really have any family, and she kinda reminds
