Page 48 of Their Wicked Secrets: Untouched, Vol 5 of 6

Caden told us about her and Tanner going to Homecoming together. He can have her.

“Eli, I have a message from Nico!” she yells.

Luke steps in her direction. I put my hand on his arm. I guess it’s time to see what Angela wants.

“Two minutes, Jacobs!” Coach yells at me.

I nod. We want to be in winning shape for our game on Friday. We want an undefeated season this year. No one will beat us. Even with the distractions in our lives, we’ll go out number one.

Jogging over to where Angela stands, I stop a couple feet away from the fence.

“What?”

She smiles before she pouts a little. “You could spank me if you want, Eli.”

Fuck this chick. I turn to go.

“Damn it.” Angela hits the fence and it rattles. “Fine, Nico texted me to tell you to check your phone.”

I narrow my eyes on her. “Why would he tell you that?”

“I don’t know.” She shrugs, but smiles. “He offered me a favor, and everyone knows favors from horsemen are the best.”

Why would Nico call her? “You’re his partner in art, right?”

She smiles and leans forward to show off her cleavage. “Yup.”

“He told you me specifically?”

She pulls her phone out of her pocket and opens something before showing me. I step in close and read the text conversation.

“Okay.” I turn and walk away.

“That’s it?” She sounds disappointed.

“You did what he asked. Stay and watch practice if you want.” I shrug. I don’t give a fuck what she does, but I need to figure out what Nico is trying to tell me.

“Everything good?” Luke asks as he stretches his arms.

“Don’t know. Go back to practice. I might be back in a minute.”

He nods and heads back out to the field with the sophomore that needs to get better fast.

I walk over to Coach. “I need to go to the locker room. Family emergency.”

Coach nods. “Everything okay?”

“Not sure. I’ll let you know if I need to leave.” I run a hand through my sweat-soaked hair.

“We need you to perform on Friday.” Coach jerks his head toward the field. “With Nico down, we’re going to have to rely on you.”

I glance at the sophomore who tries, but he misses almost every third ball.

“No problem.”

I jog down to the locker room and grab my phone. It’s quiet in here since everyone else is on the field. For a moment, I worry it’s a trap to get me alone. Stopping to listen, there isn’t any noise.

The only reason I can think that Nico would pull me out of practice would be something to do with Harper. I open my phone and immediately read his message.
