Chapter 109


    As I braced myself for a painfulnding, my eyelids shut involuntarily. I was swallowed by darkness, counting the


    seconds and milliseconds left for the uing crush against the grass. Three, two, one …


    Nothing. Impact never ensued. One moment, I had been flying, eyes closed and about to face-nt on the floor, and


    the next, I was somehow suspended in time. No, I was suspended in the air. Not understanding how, I blinked my


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    eyes open, just as a humph was punched out of my l


    ips.


    My midsectionnded against something hard.


    Then, I was greeted by the sight of glistening, smooth skin. A wless back. My gaze trailed down, taking in a tight


    backside in sports shorts, followed by a pair of muscled calves.


    Understanding sank in as I realized I was hanging off someone. Particrly off someone’s shoulder—Aaron’s


    shoulder to be one hundred percent exact.


    What in the—


    Everybody seemed to be on board, if the pping and cheering around us were any indication. Ignoring the little


    rose and died in my throat as he shot off, running.


    “Aaron,” I screeched with urgency.


    He was running with me hanging off him like a goddamn human-sized potato sack.


    With every stride, the symmetric and strained strings of muscle on his back moved. His backside too. Distracting me.


    Dammit, Lina, no. Focus.


    “Aaron,” I repeated, being ignored again. “What. Are. You. Doing?” My speech was interrupted with each bounce of


    his body. With each stomp of his long legs, guiding the ball in my sister’s direction. “Aaron ckford!”


    He chuckled. Then, he patted the back of my thigh. “I couldn’t let my girlfriend fall to the floor now, could I?” the


    bastard said calmly, not sounding one bit out of breath.


    “Aaron,” I howled. “I swear to Lucifer—”


    He bounced a little extra hard, cutting my words. His hold on my waist tightened. Sending a wave of awareness down


    my legs. His other palm held the back of my thigh still, his fingers spreading across my skin. God, everything I felt


    under me was hard and warm.


    Dammit.


    I couldn’t believe it, but I was mad and … and … and …


    Shit. I was a little turned on by the disy of strength.


    Thatst thought had barely registered when Aaron’s grip on my waist shifted, securing me with his whole arm. I could


    feel his biceps against my side. My blood swirled, and it had nothing to do with being upside down.


    “Brace yourself, girlfriend. I’m going to win this thing and put some food in you before you eat my head off.”


    “There’s no stopping that from happening. Boyfriend.”


    Wishing I could know how close Aaron was from delivering the killing goal, I twisted my body upward as much as I


    could. Behind us, phones were out, recording the whole damn thing.


    Oh Lord, please don’t let this end up on TikTok.


    Onest bounce, and chaos erupted as Aaron’s strides came to a stop.


    “Put. Me. Down.” I punctuated my words by attacking his back with my weak fists. Judging by hisck of reaction, I


    doubted he was even feeling it.


    “Hey.” He turned around, giving me a view of my sister, who was still under the goal.


    She might have just been scored on, but she was smiling.


    Aaron continued, “I knew you were bossy, but I didn’t know you were this violent.”


    “You haven’t seen anything,” I gritted through clenched teeth while he remained casually standing there, unaffected by


    the weight of the woman he had tossed over his shoulder.
