College freshmen Athena Adams can't wait to get a fresh start; to step out of the shadows of her up-and-coming football star of a brother and to flee those catty girls from her high school. She doesn't want to be invisible or off-limits any longer, and what place better to take advantage of her freedom than a college where no one knows her...

After having some... issues at his old school, Romeo transfers to UCLK for his second year of college. His plan is simple, stay in his lane and get through school as fast as possible so he can get back home to his little sister. He takes his job seriously as an older brother and the only provider of emotional support for Leya; he calls her every evening to check in, helps her with homework, and reassures her their mother will be fine... But she's getting older and as she gains more freedom and has less time for brother-dearest, he finds himself with more free time... Might as well give one of those famous college parties a try, then, right? 
What could possibly happen...

A game of 7 minutes of heaven, that's what...


(Teaser)
"Can you move your arm, please? It's digging into my hips," she complains, trying to keep the irritation from her voice. The closet was too small for two people. 
He starts laughing. 
"What's so funny?" she prods, only to feel him shift a second later, his hands shaking at the sides of her face as he wiggles them in the dark space. 
"My arm is nowhere near your hip," he chokes out. Heat crawls up her neck. 
Oh...

A/N
This is a story I'll keep working on whenever I have the time, but I don't have it fully planned like I usually do with my books, so I'm open to your suggestions as we go;) It also means I won't have a posting schedule... On the bright side, there's no need to worry that I'll take the story down to publish it; I'm working on a different book for my Job as an author, so all my currently completed Wattpad stories are safe to read! This is just for fun an giggles and your entertainment!
