FALLING

FIFTEEN

Halfway through the game and I'm dripping with sweat, my once black stretch pants are now covered in mud stains from the constant tackles I've received from Liam. It just so happens he knows how to play American football very well.

"Alright, Sam you have to up your game out there!" Seth says as we all huddle together trying to figure out a plan of attack to win back our ball.

"Hey! I'm trying ok, why don't we see how you like being thrown in the mud!" I yell back at my brother who is about to lose his mind if we lose.

"Cut her some slack son, she is trying her best out there." My dad says giving me a soft smile.

I glare across the field as I see Liam standing there talking with Marcus apparently having won him over now as well. I watch him as he begins to pull his shirt off over his head making his hair end up tousled and messy and can I say even more attractive. I can't help but notice how irresistible he actually looks, I bite down on my bottom lip as I watch him drink from his bottled water all the while laughing along with Marcus.

"Earth to Sam!" I finally hear Seth yell from behind me while my cousins and Charlotte begin to laugh.

"What?" I say startled as I pull my gaze away from Liam.

"Did you hear the play or were you too busy daydreaming about the other team?" He says annoyed rolling his eyes at me.

"I heard you, no need to get your panties in a bunch." I glare at him.

We get into position as I glare at Liam across from me.

"You ready to go down again Montgomery?" Liam smirks.

"Not this time Payne." I glare back at him as I bury my feet in the dirt, fist clenched at my sides.

"You seem a little too confident there Montgomery, but I can hear your heart racing from over here." He says with a devilish grin and I know he is referring to the way I've been staring at his bare chest like it was dessert.

Having to play football with Liam is hard enough, but having to play while he stands across from me shirtless has my mind everywhere but on the game. I decide two can play at this game so I remove my sweatshirt and toss it to the side. I watch as Liam's eyes darken as he stares at me in only my black sports bra.

"It's getting warm out here," I say as I fake fan myself. I grab my water bottle on the sidelines and begin drinking from it purposely letting some drip down my chest.

I watch as Liam sucks in his bottom lip, his eyes never leaving me begin to darken with lust, letting me know I have him right where I want him.

I hear the snap of the ball as I take off running past Liam, thanks to him not paying attention I was able to get a good lead as I jump up to catch the ball and take off running towards the end zone. I make it almost to the line when I feel two large hands grapple me to the ground, as I go down I extend my arms as far as I can reach making the ball cross the end zone.

"Yes!" I hear Seth yell from the far end of the grassy field. "Touchdown baby!"

As I turn over making my attacker roll off of me I'm met with green eyes staring down at me.

"You didn't play fairly there mate, what were you trying to accomplish coming out here with only this on?" He says breathlessly as he strokes the strap of my sports bra.

"Oh please Liam your one to talk," I say as I push him off to stand up trying to dust some of the mud off of my clothes.

"Montgomery!" Liam calls out as I turn around to glare at him, "I won't let you pass me again, you can count on that." He says with a smirk as he walks over to his team.
