THE C AGREEMENT by R.L. Kenderson
RELEASES: October 26th
I was the girl next door…with a few extra pounds. My job was demanding and kept me on my toes, but when I was deep in a case, it left me little time for relationships. And because of that, I had some complaints in the bedroom.
What I wanted was for someone to teach me to be a better lover. I needed someone I trusted with my body without the fear of falling in love and someone who wasn’t looking for anything more than sex. And I needed a man who knew how to use his body.
That was where Cade Nichols came in. He was my older brother’s best friend and anti-commitment. And my brother just challenged him to sleep with only one woman for two months. So, I offered to help Cade win that bet. As long as he helped me learn my way around a cock.
What I didn’t bet on was life not going as planned.
Prologue
AP Physics 1
Hayes
“Come on, people, we went over this yesterday.” Mr. Lewis’s voice ricochets off the wall in the back corner of the classroom, jerking me awake.
I’d finally found a comfortable enough position, forehead in my hand, face pointed toward the open notebook on my desk. I managed to keep my pencil upright in my free hand so that I would appear to be deep in concentration rather than drifting in and out of sleep.
Offended by the blunt awakening, I scowl toward the front of the class at our teacher as he pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Lanky and pale, Mr. Lewis is the walking definition of virginity over forty. With his mouth in a tight line and eyes magnified through glasses, his gaze darts through a sea of slouching students.
“No one, huh? Not even a guess?” He must feel me glaring because his bug eyes land on me.
“Shit,” I mutter to myself.
“Mr. North.” He manages to look down his nose at me from twenty feet away. He may make decent money teaching at Burton Prep, but he’ll never come close to the net worth of every student in his class—save for the scholarship kids. “What is the kinetic energy of the question on the board?”
Dawson, my hockey team’s left winger, chuckles beside me. Asshole.
“Eighty-two.” The answer’s wrong, but I say it with enough confidence that Mr. Lewis checks his notes before sighing in defeat. My dad always told me that if I’m ever unsure—fake it.
“Eighty-two,” the teacher mumbles with a you’ve got to be fucking kidding me tone. “That’s incor—”
“Six point five seven meters per second.” The confident female voice comes from the front row. Another nerd speaking nerdlish.
“Yes, Ms. Osbourne, well done. It’s nice to see at least one person is paying attention in class today.”
Of course, he’s looking right at me.
I roll my eyes and slump back into my chair with a shrug.
Scoring Chance by Teagan Hunter is now live!
Scoring on the ice? Piece of cake.
Scoring off it? Well, there's a reason I'm still a virgin.
I'm not entirely clueless with women, though I do tend to put my foot in my mouth around them far too often.
Like I did with Scout, the donut maker I stupidly introduced myself to despite visiting her truck for years.
Maybe my teammates have a reason to call me the dumb one, but I'm determined to prove them all wrong—Scout included.
I want to be her friend. Want her to see the real me.
What I'm not expecting is to like her so much when we start spending time together...or want to kiss her so badly.
I'm the jock, and she's the bookworm.
On paper, we make no sense together.
But maybe I have a scoring chance with her after all.

Ah, Christmas. The most magical time of the year. A time when the snow is falling, cider is flowing, and couples are kissing under the mistletoe.
Too bad all that makes me want to gag.
Look, it isn't that I'm a hater, it's just that I have a job to do, and this particular holiday is getting in the way of that. And I know what you'll say, that Micah Noble's Christmas Tree Farm is a beloved tradition for many of the families of Merrihill, but you have to see the bigger picture here: a five-star luxury resort where overworked Manhattanites can escape to, a serene place of spas and shopping and watching sexy lumberjacks chopping wood...
Oh, wait, scratch that last one. Lumberjacks aren't my thing. Anymore. Micah Noble cured me of that, which tends to happen when you're trying to buy someone's family land to bulldoze to the ground.
He can call me a Scrooge all he wants, but business is business, and pleasure is...well, not something I can afford to think about. Even if it does come packaged in those tight jeans and flannel shirts that make me want to rip them off with my teeth--
No. This is not happening. I will not think of Micah as anything other than an obstacle to getting what I want. A really, really sexy obstacle.
Ugh. Screw Christmas and the sleigh it rode in on.
