Sixty million pounds, and the little American will not pass me the ball.

Here is the state of me. Bought at nineteen for more money than my street has ever seen. Relegated at twenty-one. Parcelled off on loan to a rotting little club in the north with eleven thousand seats and a terrace falling into the sea. Fine. I can score anywhere. Scoring is the one thing in my life I have never had to think about.

Except there is a number six in this side who decides where the ball goes, and he has decided it does not go to me. He plays it square. He plays it backwards. He plays it to anybody in a shirt who is not me, and he does it with the face of a man filling in a form.

Micah Rowe. Five foot six, American, and he has had me in his pocket every time the two of us have ever met. Now he is on my team, and he has found a better way to beat me than marking me. He is starving me in front of a full ground, on purpose, and there is not one word I can say about it out loud.

So I do what I have always done. I go at him, on a wet floor, in an empty gym, because it is the only language the pair of us have ever spoken.

And I find out something about Micah Rowe that I was never meant to know.

Then he starts passing to me.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Explicit M/M with a big-small size difference, rivalry-coded SPH that turns from a weapon into a want, wrestling as foreplay, and a dominance that never ends up where anybody expects it.

Book One of The Understanding. HFN ending. ~178,000 words.
