I watched him with my hands in my lap, my heart still racing from the locker room.

Roman played like a different man. Better than last time. Better than the games I had only seen on television, the ones where I paused on his face and then hated myself for it. He was amazing out there I’d/ never seen another basketball player move like this before.

I wasn’t the only one who noticed. The crowd did as well.

Points stacked so fast the crowd started making that low, disbelieving sound people make when they realize they are watching something they will talk about tomorrow. This game was sure to make a lot of headlines.

I blushed.

I had given him good luck. According to him. He was proving to me that this was all because of me and what we’d done in the locker room.

Twenty thousand strangers were roaring for the same man who had his mouth between my legs twenty minutes ago. I found that hard to wrap my head around.

For years, I’ve wanted Roman. Especially after that night he saved me. This is the first time I’ve finally been given a part of him, and it felt amazing. I never want to lose this feeling.

He looked over at me after the first three. After a pull-up at the elbow that barely left his hand before the net snapped.

Each time after a score his eyes would find the seats, then me, and I could not believe he was risking it with Ethan right there.

Knowing my brother, he probably thought Roman was celebrating with him.

“That’s my guy,” Ethan shouted, on his feet, beer forgotten, voice already going higher. “That’s what I’m talking about. Show them who’s the boss!”

That’s his guy? I tried not to roll my eyes.

Blair squeezed my knee, smug in the way only a sister who knew too much could be smug.

I kept my face pointed at the floor and hoped the flush looked like excitement. It was excitement. Along with many other things.

First quarter he was already in double digits.

Tyrell pointed at him when he scored again. Mateo just nodded, while one of the other players mouthed holy shit.

The other team started switching everything and it did not matter. Roman rose over the switch and dropped another midrange, then another, the kind of shot that made announcers invent poetry and made me press my thighs together in a seat I was supposed to occupy like a normal spectator.

The crowd got louder every time.

glanced at me with a smirk. A secret only both of us knew. His good luck.

I bit the inside of my check so I would not smile like an idiot. So I would not put a hand to my mouth. So I would not look at Ethan and give the whole secret away with a face I could not control.

Halftime the board looked crazy. He had more than I had ever seen him put up this early.

People around us were arguing numbers, pulling up stat lines.

A man behind us said he had never watched Vale cook like this. I sat there in the skirt he had called tod short and felt the heat.

Third quarter he did not cool off.

Then a three that made the building lose its mind, the kind of shot that lived on phones before the net finished moving.
