A Dose of Pretty Poison (Pretty Poison Trilogy #1)

Pulling up to a red light, he looks over at me and chuckles, shaking his head as he focuses back on the road. “What?” I ask curiously. “You play dirty.” My grin widens, but I admit nothing. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Humming amusedly, he puts his foot on the gas as the light turns green. “Every game I’ve seen you come to, you’re in jeans or sweatpants, with your hair tied back like you couldn’t be bothered. But tonight, you show up looking like you’re ready for a night on the town.” To be honest, the outfit was Mali’s idea, and a brilliant one at that. It may have been a little cold in there, but what’s that saying? No pain, no gain? Clearly, it was worth it. “And then you had the nerve to put on someone else’s jersey.” I can’t help but laugh. “In my defense, my shirt was ruined, and I needed something else to wear.” “So, you go into the locker room and take one of mine,” he growls. “But the only goddamn number that goes on that body of yours is mine. The fact that you even gave that shithead the time of day pisses me off.” Good. That was the point. “Maybe I just wanted to feel good.” He chuckles, turning the steering wheel to the left. “Oh, trust me, baby. You’re going to.” Baby. God, I have such a love hate relationship with the way that makes my heart race.
