Blindsided

I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true and by the time I was drafted the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Now he wants everything to be like it was in college but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>That's not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart and there's nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>I need to stay away from him.</span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Talon:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Years ago Miller and I made a pact that we'd win a Super Bowl together. When I'm offered a position on his team in Chicago I don't hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that's a decade old.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Only now that I'm here he's avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else I'd cut my losses.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>But this is Shane Miller--the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I'd do anything for. The guy who's more to me than a brother a friend or even a teammate.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>I'm not going to let him get away.</span></p>
