Team Russian
by Ally
Adams
GENRE:
Contemporary Romance
BLURB:
He’s tall, dark,
handsome and athletic and just that little bit mysterious. Star of the Saint’s
team, The Russian has had a high profile relationship with a Hollywood
director’s daughter for years and now that it is over, he just wants to focus
on his sporting career. Due to injury, Carla Brooker’s professional sporting
career as a basketballer with the Suns is about to come to an end, but not
before she needs a date for her team's gala ball night. When these two sporting
hotshots meet, they are more than a good fit, they are made for each other … if
they can just file away their history and find a way to be together.
Excerpt:
The doors opened and a few of the flight
attendants came out, along with a handful of passengers. Buzz was out first and
greeted us. He wrapped an arm around Laura and gave me a wink as they left, as
though all was forgiven for his prank. Some of the Saints’ crew followed, then
the coach, and Lucas who gave Mia a wave and pointed in the direction of the
journos. She nodded, knowing he had to give a quick interview first.
Tomás came into sight, greeted us
all and left with Alice, and then Nik and The Russian appeared. The Russian’s
eyes scanned the area and found mine, and he gave me a smile that would launch
ships. He walked towards me, threw his bag over his shoulder and wrapped his
spare arm around me, pressing me hard to him, our lips locked. It was so
healing, his lips on mine, his skin against mine, just the feel of his strong
body encompassing me, and he didn’t stop kissing me. I couldn’t believe it, in
front of his teammates and everything!
“Geez, not in public you two, cut it
out,” Lucas teased, coming over and giving Mia a showy kiss.
“Get a room, Russian,” Nik added as
Sasha threw herself at him, and then we heard the sound of flashes and The
Russian released me just a few inches, enough to draw a breath.
“So needed that,” he said. “Hello,
Brooker.”
“Hello Russian,” I grinned up at
him, admiring his dark eyes and beautiful face. He looked exhausted.
“We need to get home immediately,”
The Russian said, slightly breathless. “Let’s go.”
He released me only enough so I
could walk, tucking me into his body, ignoring the flashes of cameras. When we
got to my car, he threw his bag in the back seat and sat back while I drove,
annoying me by rubbing his hand over my leg, and anywhere else he could get
access to before I hit him away for being distracting. We hardly spoke, we just
wanted to be together, to be near each other.
The Russian hustled me straight into
my bedroom, closing my bedroom door with his foot and knocking me onto the
bed. When we were settled, he stopped
and placed his forehead on mine.
