CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Holden

Five Years Ago…

The second week of classes were surprisingly quiet. At least they were after Kate and I molested each other on stage. We pretty much avoided not only talking to each other for the remaining week.

Even at the auditions for Keith Langley’s new show, we escaped without having to read together… not even once.

But I had to admit, watching Kate audition with the modern soliloquy Keith had written for Julie, she was good. So damn good. I wasn’t exactly a theater aficionado, but I’d seen good acting enough to recognize it… Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Paul Newman. And bad acting… hello, Charlie Sheen.

Kate definitely fell into the former category. In our class, she was easily the best.

I should know. I read lines at the audition with every other girl in class and none of them compared to Katherine.

Not even close.

But the real question was why the hell was I thinking about her on a Friday night after my team’s first win of the season?

I knew why.

Because right before the game started, a photo pinged in my inbox.

A black lace thong.

Her underwear was getting more and more daring as the week continued. And today was the sixth day. The last pair… the last picture I’d get.

Even her photo had revealed more of herself than any other image. I got glimpses of her torso and upper thighs. A full view of her ass in that thong. I honestly didn’t think she had it in her. The false bravado of anonymity.

Except it isn’t anonymous, despite the fact that she thinks it is.

I was lying to her.

I was a fucking creep who was lying to Kate every day and secretly buying her panties.

And I was so fucking turned on by it that I couldn’t even stop myself.

She needed the money, the little voice in my head whispered. You’re helping her by offering her that $500.

Who knows what kind of pervert would have bought those panties from her if I hadn’t stepped in.

With a sigh, I slid my fingers through my shower-damp hair. I could justify it all I wanted until I was blue in the face, but the fact of the matter is I’m a fucking dick of a man for doing this.

This was it. Tonight, it was over. After we do the drop off of cash tomorrow, I’m done.

I had a whole day Sunday ahead of me to not think about her or see her again.

I stood outside of Magic Mushroom, looking in the window at several of my teammates who were already inside pushing tables together.

The last thing I wanted to do was go in there and celebrate with them. But it was part of being a team. Camaraderie and all that bullshit. Plus, most of the guys had gone to Kelsey’s sorority party, so it was just a few of my closest friends, thank God.

One beer wouldn’t be so bad. I could have a beer and a couple slices and still be in bed before midnight.

So with a tired breath, I pushed open the door and entered my team’s favorite pizza joint.
