Played By Love (New Adult Romance): a #played Novella

The Wildcat power forward barreled toward the goal. Clods of turf spattered him as he pivoted and shielded the ball from a sliding tackle.
Jaden spread his arms, crouched and alert, his weight balanced, but ready to explode the moment before the ball shot toward him.
