“I want you, Terrance,” she whispered, reaching for his hands and placing them around her.
Suddenly, thoughts of making love to him ruled Kyra’s mind. Her heart was beating loud and fast. Fast enough to require immediate medical attention, but instead of taking a moment to catch her breath, she went one step further. “We’ve been fighting this thing between us long enough. I’m attracted to you, and I know you feel the same way.”
He lifted, then lowered his eyebrows. “I can’t stay here. It wouldn’t be right.”
As Kyra gazed up at him, her body was filled with an unquenchable desire, and for the first time in her life she decided to act on her impulse. Hooking up. That’s what the freshman class called it. One night of explosive sex without strings. She’d never had a one-night stand, but bumping and grinding at Bollito had been a powerful aphrodisiac. Mind made up, she reached hungrily for him. They were going to make love tonight and there was nothing Terrance could say to stop her. “You’re not going to make me beg are you?”

HOLLINGTON HOMECOMING
Where old friends reunite…and new passions take flight
Special thanks and acknowledgment to Pamela Sadadi for her contribution to the HOLLINGTON HOMECOMING miniseries.
Dear Reader,
When I found out I was going to be writing the HOLLINGTON HOMECOMING series with Sandra Kitt, Jacquelin Thomas and Adrianne Byrd, I squealed like a schoolgirl! Like all of you, I’ve been reading their books for years and have enjoyed their unforgettable characters and page-turning stories. Writing with such an esteemed group of authors is a dream come true and I feel honored to have the opportunity to work with them.
I love sports, so when I learned that my hero was a buff, wickedly handsome ex-NFL running back named Terrence Franklin, I couldn’t wait to get started. After the way Terrence dogged her out, Kyra Dixon wants nothing to do with him. But as PR Director, it’s up to her to sign the popular sports hero to coach the school’s football team. Strolling around campus with Kyra stirs some powerful feelings in Terrence, and by reunion weekend, he’s sprung. Falling in love with her ex-fiancé isn’t an option, and Kyra refuses to mix business with pleasure. Smart girl, because Terrence will stop at nothing until he has her back in his life—and his bed!

With love,
Pamela Yaye

“Terrence Franklin just pulled up in a yellow Ferrari sports car!”
Kyra Dixon jumped as if she’d been zapped with a stun gun. Blistering-hot coffee sloshed over her mug and splashed onto her slingback sandals. She felt a tightening in her chest at the mention of her ex-fiancé’s name and calmed her nerves with a deep breath. Masking her annoyance, she turned and smiled grudgingly at her boss. “Good morning, Mr. Morrow.”
“Can you believe it? He’s finally here. I glanced out my office window, and there he was signing autographs and posing for pictures by the fountain.” Straightening his tie, he studied his profile in the coffeepot, a wide, goofy expression on his face. When he swung back around, his smile had doubled in length. “I asked Nikki to show Terrence into the conference room,” he explained, nodding furiously. “I wanted us to have some time to go over our game plan.”
“Our game plan?” she repeated, frowning. “Walter, I think I can handle
