Jockblocked: A Novel (Gridiron Book 2)
by
She’s always played it safe…
College junior Lucy Washington abides by one rule—avoid risk at all costs. She’s cautious in every aspect of her life, from her health, to her mock trial team, to the boring guys she dates. When a brash, gorgeous jock walks into the campus coffeeshop and turns his flirt on, Lucy is stunned by the force of attraction. For the first time ever, she’s willing to step out of her comfort zone, but can she really trust the guy who’s determined to sweep her off her feet?
He’s always played around…
Entering his last year of college eligibility, linebacker Matthew "Matty" Iverson has the team captaincy in his sights. And it’s his for the taking, if he can convince his quarterback Ace Anderson to give up the starting position. Luckily, Matty already has an edge—the hottie he’s lusting over just happens to be Ace’s childhood best friend. Getting Lucy on his side and in his bed? Hell yeah. Matty is more than confident he can have both, but when he falls hard for Lucy, it’s time for a new game plan: convince the woman of his dreams that she’s not sleeping with the enemy.
EXCERPT
I grab her foot and pull it into my lap. “Let’s do a
risk/reward test.”
“Let’s not.” But her foot doesn’t move.
I massage her foot beneath the sock, pressing hard against
the ball and then digging into the arch. She releases a tiny moan and her head
falls back in a dick-hardening sexy motion. Fuuuuck.
If this is how I feel from just touching this girl’s hand and foot, what would
it be like to be between her legs, to suck on her tits, to feel her pussy pulse
around my dick? Light-headed and incredibly aroused, I almost fall off the chair.
I gotta focus here. If I’m ever going to get past the foot
and hand, I need to convince her that the reward with me would be
off-the-charts amazing.
Clearing my throat, I keep rubbing her foot. “Having your
foot in my lap, that’s a risk right? But you’re enjoying the rubdown. That’s a
risk worth the reward.”
“Keep rubbing and stop talking,” she orders. Her eyes are
closed.
Okay, but I’m not touching some other guy’s sock, particularly
the guy whose bed she’s sleeping in. I don’t know if I fully buy into her “just
friends” explanation for Ace. He has her picture in his locker. She’s wearing
his socks. For all that, he’s at the Gas Station dry humping a Kappa and Lucy’s
home alone. I pull off the sock and toss it aside and stare at her toes.
“Your nail polish is blue.” Since when did I think toes were
sexy?
She wriggles them. “Yes, on both feet. You’re very observant.
Haven’t you ever seen a girl’s toes before?”
“I’m sure I have.” I just don’t remember them. I have this
strange feeling I’ll remember hers, though.
I run a light caress over the anklebone, down the spine of
the Achilles tendon, and around the edge of her instep.
Her breathing hitches, so quiet and so soft, I might have
imagined it.
“What’re you doing?” Her words are a husky whisper and my
body responds accordingly.
My balls tighten and my dick’s so hard I’m worried it’ll snap
in half, but I can’t reach into my jeans to readjust or I’ll scare her away.
“We’re testing your risk assessment.” And driving myself
crazy.
“You should stop.”
“I can’t.” I move my hand up her ankle to cup the slender
calf. “Feel good? Worth the risk?”
“I’m not sure.”
That’s an invitation if I ever heard one.
Is it possible to come from just rubbing a girl’s leg? I
might test out that theory. “And now?” My fingers find the tender hollow behind
her knee. Her pulse beats rapidly against my palm. She’s as turned on as I am
and I haven’t even gotten to the good parts.
“It feels riskier,” she croaks.
Yeah, because pretty
soon my hand is going to be on your thigh and I don’t know how I’m going to
stop there.
Her fingers are turning white as she grips the sides of her
chair. Is she holding herself back? Or keeping herself there?
Fuck, I want to kiss her so bad. I want to kiss her lips but
I’d settle for her toes or her knee or‑shit, if all she’ll allow is for me to
touch the tips of her fingers, I’d be okay with that. I need a taste of her.
I’m dying for a taste of her.
Review by Gia:
Jockblocked is book 2 in the Gridiron series. It can be read as a standalone. I did not read the first one Sacked and I wasn't lost with this one. The some of the characters overlap in both books but the main characters are different. Jockblocked is Matthew "Matty" and Lucy's story.
Matty is a manwhore. He's a sexy college football player and has his share of woman throwing themselves at him. Lucy is very cautious and doesn't take many risks. I loved Lucy and her whole rick assessments of everything. She's focused on school. Her path crosses with Matty. They have some great banter. Matty is a major risk.
She has a rule to dating that she made with her best friend Ace and that's not to date any football payers. Her and Ace are best friends from childhood. I didn't really see their connection as very strong because Ace does some things that Lucy that a bet friend wouldn't do. Ace warns Lucy not to start anything with Matty. Matty has his work cut out for him to show Lucy he is worth the risk. There are some funny parts and some sexy part and overall it's a great read.
