Jagger
Jameson could be the poster child for a nasty childhood campaign but
he refused to allow it to dictate his future. At an early stage, he
learned to shut down all emotions and focus solely on survival. As
it turned out, survival came in the form of a basketball scholarship
with the University of Kentucky Wildcats. As the rest of the team
around him focuses on having a good time and building friendships,
Jagger worries only about using his talent to help him escape the
life that was dealt to him. Everything is going smoothly until
somebody from his past makes a reappearance and with just the mention
of a name, Jagger finds himself struggling to maintain his cool
façade.
Colton
Montgomery’s wealth allowed him the opportunity to have about
anything in the world he could desire…except the only thing he’d
ever really wanted – Jagger Jameson. When the opportunity to try
and tame his Wildcat comes his way, Colton gladly accepts the
challenge.
Excerpt:
Sure, it had been
less than twenty-four hours since he’d come face to face with
Colton Montgomery for the first time in four years, but he’d
managed to think of nothing but Colton Montgomery every moment
he was awake. He thought of the way Colton’s emerald eyes had
looked at him so intently that he felt like the man could dig into
his soul, see all his secrets, know all the things he didn’t want
people to know. Dick had described it as ‘dude, Colton Montgomery
just spent the last thirty minutes eye-fucking you’ and then summed
it up with ‘and he wants to fuck you’ – typical Dick.
He’d thought he
was prepared, thought he’d managed to build up an immunity against
the rich prick that had stunned him years ago, but the second he’d
walked through the door and saw him, every protective barrier he’d
worked so hard to build over the years disintegrated with one lusty
smirk from Colton. Fuck, he was in so much trouble. Riley knew….
One look in
Riley’s eyes and Jagger didn’t have the first doubt that Riley
knew he was attracted to Colton – hungry for Colton. His
captain had given him a sympathetic look. It was as if he had
somehow figured out that Jagger had always had the hots for a boy way
out of his league and now, fucking now, when he didn’t need any
distractions, that boy decided it would be fun to tease the
poor kid – make him think he was wanted for something other
than…hell, what was he good for if it wasn’t going to be sex?
He’d never given himself to another man. Actually, Colton was the
only man he’d ever looked at with those thoughts dancing around in
his head. He’d fucked a handful of women over the years and
enjoyed it…just enough to get the job done. There had never been
the first doubt in his mind about his sexuality until
Colton-fucking-Montgomery’s ten words. Fuck!
The basketball
hit him square in the chest, bouncing away and damn near knocking the
breath out of him. “Shit, sorry, Riley. I was going over some
plays in my head. I’m good, I swear.” Thank the fuck they were
just in warm-ups before the championship game. “We Will Rock You”
was blasting over the speakers because that song never got old when
it came to championship games, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.
Championship games were always a bundle of excitement – add a
Cinderella story into it, and the people and media ate it up. Shit,
even half the state of Kentucky kinda hoped Florida Gulf would
win or at least make a good showing.
What the fuck
did they know? They didn’t have any idea what was on the
line…how their winning might damn well destroy him. Sure, it was
all fun and games for Colton Montgomery, but it was his fucking
self-esteem, pride, and sanity up on the auction block.
“Get your head
out of your ass, Jag. I’m going to need you at one hundred percent
tonight if we plan on winning this game.” His hands flung around
the arena. “The entire crowd is either openly pulling for Florida
Gulf or secretly hoping they win. I feel like we’re up against
everybody in this fucking arena and my fucking point guard has his
head shoved all the way up his own fucking ass!” Yeah, his tirade
ended with a scream. That was Riley for you. He hated to lose.
Well…correction; he didn’t like losing but if everybody played
their damndest, he could take it. When they lost because one or more
of them ‘had their head up their fucking asses’, he
completely lost it.
He was already
losing it.
“My head isn’t
up my ass, Riley. I’m good. When the whistle blows, I’m going
to shove this ball all the way up Colton Montgomery’s arrogant
fucking ass.” He gave Riley a fist bump, hoping that was a normal
action. He’d seen others on the team doing it….
“I hope so,
Jag. If not, I’m afraid he’s planning on shoving something else
up yours.” Riley crossed his arms over his chest and stared at
Jagger, waiting for a reaction…any reaction. He wasn’t
disappointed. Well, he was disappointed because he was fucking
certain that without their point guard playing top notch, they were
damn well going to get beat, but, on the other hand, some life in the
kid’s eyes was something to see. Finally….
“There’s no
need to be gross, man. I’m ready. Colton Montgomery will not
score the first point tonight, mark my words.”
Riley rolled his
eyes. “I don’t necessarily think its gross, but I don’t think
it’s what you’ve got penciled into that fucking life-plan that
you’ve had since day-fucking-one.” He shoved another basketball
against Jagger’s chest. “I’ll hold you to that promise of him
not scoring any points, Jag…just don’t let him do the same to
you.”
The warning
buzzer sounded before Jagger could respond (and question the ‘not
necessarily gross’ statement) and the crowd went absolutely nuts.
This was it. Championship game – it would look awesome on any
resume he sent out. If they won…no, when they won, he could
probably pick which accounting firm in Kentucky he wanted to work
with. It all came down to this night.
Even after he’d
promised himself he wouldn’t do it, his eyes drifted to the other
end of the court and immediately found his adversary. Colton
Montgomery, in all his fucking, glorious, arrogant, rich beauty was
staring right back, a confident smile curving his lush lips. He
offered a wave and a wink. Jagger flipped him off and headed to his
bench.

the author:
TS
McKinney
lives in East Tennessee with her high school sweetheart/husband and
all the countless dogs she picks up from deserted country roads. Her
professional career has been in business but her heart has always
belonged to the fantasy world found in books. Creating wicked worlds
where one can meet the perfect hero – and then do anything to him
that you want – has been a hobby that has brought her plenty of
hours of fun and naughty entertainment.
When
not working, reading, or writing, she loves to spend time with her
family and forcing them (because they don’t really have another
choice) to allow her to redecorate their houses…and listen to her
naughty…sometimes sadistic stories.
