trust him. She had no idea what he’d do with the information.
    “You can stand there and glare at me all day. I’m not going to start talking because you ordered me too.”
    “I can certainly try.”
    Emma laughed. “Give it your best shot.”
    She thought he’d throw some ultimatums at her or order her to start talking again. What he did instead shocked her senseless. He pulled her into his arms and slid his lips across hers. He pushed, prodded, and coaxed her lips open. When his tongue slid across hers she sighed. This is what she’d been longing for—what she’d been craving. Emma dropped the duffle bag—it hit the floor with a loud thud. She wrapped her arms around his neck and wound her fingers through his hair. The silky strands slid through her fingers as she gave them a hard tug. Colt’s hands drifted down to her ass, and he squeezed her tighter against him. The kiss seemed to go on forever, and Emma didn’t want it to end. But she couldn’t let it go on. This was not a healthy thing to do. Kissing your ex-boyfriend—knowing he was dating someone else—was wrong.
    She yanked her lips free from his and took a step back. Emma wiped her hand across her mouth. “And you expect me to believe you never cheated on me.” She stared at him with disappointment.
    “What the hell are you talking about?”
    How had she forgotten? One moment of weakness and she’d given in. She couldn’t let him get close again. If he kissed her like that—she’d be his slave. Emma could only hold him off so long before she’d give herself to him fully. She teetered on the edge being in his presence. She had to adapt—protect her bruised heart. He’d done a fine job of distracting her, but he still hadn’t gotten the answers he sought. So maybe, as painful as this was, his kissing her had been a good thing. It put her back on track. At least she could be grateful that he was no longer interrogating her. She couldn’t make any false accusations. It could be one huge misunderstanding. Emma, of course, didn’t believe it for a minute. For now, she’d remind Colt he was supposed to be taken. Men did not kiss their ex-girlfriends when they had a current one. At least they weren’t supposed too…
    “How soon we forget,” she said, disgusted. “Alison.”
    “Oh, God, Emma you need to understand something—” Colt stretched his arm out trying to pull her back into his arms.
    Emma took a step back, swinging her arm out of his reach. “No I understand perfectly.”
    She picked up the duffle bag and pushed past him. She began walking down the long hallway toward the field. She could hear him cussing a wide arrangement of profanities behind her. Yeah, no doubt about it, now Colt was completely pissed off. Nothing she could do about it. Until she had all of the information, she was not going to share her theories with him. They could…change everything. Emma wasn’t sure if she wanted them to or not.

Chapter Nine
    Colt ran his fingers through his hair as frustration set in. He’d handled the situation with Emma badly—no surprise there. Lately, all he did was make the wrong decisions where she was concerned. As much as he would like to go after her, Colt knew he couldn’t. He had to go suit up for the game and be ready for the pregame meeting in the locker room. If he didn’t hurry, he’d be late, and coach would let him have it. He raced to the locker room and found Dr. Ellwood talking to Paxton Kerry. The current quarterback was shaking his head at the team doctor. Something was up—Colt should go over and find out. There was always a possibility it could have some impact on the game and his play time.
    “What’s going on?” he asked them both.
    “Nothing to worry about, Lewis.” Paxton’s smile had an edge, not quite genuine and yet not false either. “We were discussing the game.”
    “Paxton—” Dr. Ellwood placed his hand on his arm.
    Paxton jerked it away. “I’m fine, Dr. Ellwood.”
    Paxton ran
