Rory: the Jennings Brothers (ebook)

a small town college hockey rom-com about forbidden desire A tall tanned, well-muscled guy—as in if Hercules had a younger leaner brother—emerges from the shadowy hallway, walking straight toward me. It’s Rory. Gulp. He’s stark naked. And showing off his morning wood in all its glistening glory. My jaw hangs open and I shout at myself to look away, or shut my eyes, definitely I should shut my mouth before I drool. His roommate, who reluctantly let me in the apartment, laughs. Rory pushes his unruly mop of hair from his face and our eyes meet, connecting like two bolts of lightning striking each other so hard I feel the sizzles down to my very core. He stops cold, freezing in place. I maintain my wide-eyed stare hoping I don’t look like I feel—like a little girl who walked in on an orgy--because maybe I have. Except I’m not a little girl, I remind myself, at least not in years. Though maybe in experience. Shit. His mouth curve with deliberate ease, taking its time to end in the sultry smile. Holy hot-man-on-campus. My panties suddenly feel so wet that I wonder if this means I’m not a virgin anymore? “Hello there, Sugar. Did you come to join the party?” He looks me up and down with pussy-slayer blue eyes, a dimple in his strong chin and the kind of lush wavy hair my fingers need to dive through while I hold him against my—stop it. In an attempt to rescue myself from permanent perversion scarring like it’s an epidemic headquartered in this apartment, in his bedroom to be exact, I blurt out the first nonsense my speech center can grasp onto in the chaos of my mind. “Aren’t you going to be late for hockey practice?” *** This is the story where the quiet well-disciplined serious-minded student who avoids college parties in the pursuit of perfect grades, can't help lusting after the hottest hockey hunk on campus though she pretends not to. But Rory knows she's into him and sees past the nerdy glasses, oversized sweaters and tongue-tied awkwardness, taking note of her beauty. What he doesn't know is that she's the coach's daughter. He also doesn't know the coach is Old Man Rossi's brother-in-law. The Rossi who is his Dad's bitter rival--arch enemy may not be too strong a term. But love and fate doesn't care about these inconvenient facts...
