ROMANCE: SPORTS ROMANCE: Double Blindside (Bad Boy College Football Romance) (New Adult College Alpha Male Sports Romance) by Carly White Page A

reaction, wearing that slip dress thing had been totally worth it. I had also let Ashlea do my makeup and I could tell her was stunned with the results. “Are you ready?”
    His dark eyes met mine and he shook his head. I could see him swallow hard and I started to rethink the way I dressed all of the time. Maybe it was time to show more skin if Axl was looking at me in that way. The guy that every girl on campus wanted to be with was looking at me like I was his main course.
    “Hold on, let me grab my keys.” Turning around, I grabbed the keys that were on the kitchen table and went back to Axl. He had not moved from where I had left him and I started to feel a bit more powerful than before.
    “You look different Sue. I don’t think I have ever seen you like this before.”
    I looked down at the dress. “Yeah Ashlea picked it out. I am glad you like it.”
    “I think anyone would like that on you.”
    There was a moment of silence. I did not know how to respond to him, so I just walked out of the door and locked it behind me. I felt him behind me, radiating heat and I brushed against him gently as I turned around. He still was in the same spot, his eyes the only part of him that had moved. I had a questioning look in my eyes and finally he seemed to snap out of it. Taking the lead, I followed him out to his car. He held the door open and waited till I was in to shut it. It was surprising, but not at all unwelcomed.
    I waited for him to get in and then he started the engine. “Here you need this on. I drive a little fast.”
    Before I could stop him, he leaned over and his arms went around me to grab the seat belt. I gasped as his palm brushed against my breasts momentarily before he put the slot in the lock. The click sounded louder than normal in my ears and then he was gone. I didn’t even realize my eyes had closed until I was pushing them open. Axl had pulled away from the curb and he did drive too fast.
    The trip was…eventful to say the least. Axl drove like a maniac and I spent most of my time holding onto the small bar that seemed attached by far too small of a screw. He drove well, but very fast. I drove rarely and when I did, it was at the speed limit. To Axl, they seemed to be a mere suggestion for bad weather.
    We finally stopped up on a bluff overlooking the city. The view was gorgeous and he had packed a cooler that we took up as we walked closer to the edge. I held his hand when he took mine into his. His swallowed mine and I could feel an electrical spark between us with the contact. We felt really alone in that moment and my mind went to what would happen next.

Chapter 3
    I don’t know what I had expected, but beyond a few accidental touches that seemed innocent enough, Axl was a complete gentleman through dinner. To hear all of the gossip, he should have pounced on me by now. Granted, there were a few times that I may have felt the need in his dark depths, he kept a respectable distance.
    After dinner he moved closer and my body literally buzzed as he drew near. “It seems so much different up here, doesn’t it?”
    I nodded. The lights were all on and from far away, they were just twinkling and moving in an invisible pattern. It had been one of the best moments I had had in college and I didn’t want it to end. I waited for him to try and put his hands on me, but he didn’t. I moved closer leaning against his chest gently as we looked down at the lit up valley below.
    We stayed like that for a while talking and the more he talked, the less I wished for conversation. My eyes trained on his lips, begging him to kiss me with his eyes. I could feel my body trembling against him and I just wanted him to touch me. It was all I could think about and the idea was too much. It was me who finally leaned closer, stopping just before our lips made contact. He lessened the space in between us and then he groaned a little when our lips met.
    It was gentle and chaste at first. He kissed my lips several
