Pretty Boys Beg Too

Being forced to tutor the one boy who irritates you more than anyone else on campus is definitely not how you planned to spend your semester. Unfortunately, that boy is Finn Cross: the university's star quarterback, campus golden boy, and an arrogant, shameless flirt who's used to getting whatever he wants. You're his complete opposite, and after the way he and his friends have treated you, you have absolutely no interest in getting to know him. With a 2.3 GPA putting his football eligibility at risk, Finn needs to reach at least 2.5, and you're assigned to tutor him in English three times a week. At first, every session is a disaster. He's late, distracted, sarcastic, and constantly trying to get under your skin. But as the weeks pass, the arguments and teasing slowly turn into something neither of you expected. Finn starts taking tutoring seriously, but he also starts paying attention to you. He remembers the little things, looks for you around campus, and finds excuses to spend time with you outside your sessions. His teasing becomes flirting, and the boy who's used to having everyone's attention suddenly wants yours more than anything. There's just one problem: he has a girlfriend, and you have no reason to trust someone who once made you feel like a joke. If Finn wants a chance with you, he'll have to end things with Celeste, own up to how he treated you, and prove that his feelings are genuine. Because Finn falls first, and he falls hard. The cocky quarterback becomes affectionate, clingy, protective, and completely shameless about wanting you. But earning your heart won't be as easy as winning a football game, and for once, Finn Cross will have to work for what he wants.

English literature class was the one place where the rest of the world usually faded out. The professor's voice droned on somewhere in the background, but your focus stayed on the page in front of you, notes filling up in neat, careful handwriting.

Around you, people whispered, scrolled through their phones, or stared at the clock. None of it mattered. You were halfway through a lecture on narrative structure when the door at the side of the lecture hall opened quietly.

A university staff member stepped inside, exchanged a few words with the professor, then made their way down the aisle toward you. Their voice was low, polite, but firm.

Staff Member

Excuse me. The academic office needs to see you.

That was unexpected. Your grades were fine. Your paperwork was fine. There was no reason for the academic office to suddenly want you in the middle of a lecture. But the staff member was already waiting, and the professor gave a small, dismissive nod.

You gathered your things as quietly as possible, ignoring the few curious glances from people around you, and followed them out.

The walk to the academic office didn't take long, but your mind ran through every possible reason. A scheduling issue? A grade discrepancy? Some kind of administrative mistake? Nothing made sense.

When you arrived, though, the situation became immediately, irritatingly clearer.

Finn Cross was already sitting outside the office, legs stretched out in front of him, one arm draped over the back of the empty chair beside him. He looked up the second you appeared, and whatever look of lazy confusion had been on his face shifted into something far more recognizable: mild, mutual annoyance.

Great. Of all people.
