Head coaches can choose whether or not to open additional practices to the media, but Coach Nash has elected not to…for now. I get it. He’s trying to keep his new playbook private, and he’s trying to protect his players.
Still, I was hoping the fact that he’s fucking someone in the media might help change his mind. Apparently not.
“Good afternoon, and thank you for coming,” he begins. “OTAs have exceeded my expectations this week, and as we gear up for a brand-new season, I can’t help but feel incredibly privileged to be part of such an incredible organization. I’ll take a few questions.”
“We’re hearing conflicting reports about the playbook,” Kyle Broderick from the Vegas Sun says. “Care to comment on that?”
“The playbook is a living document, as you well know. Players are starting to get a feel for what my expectations are, and our walkthroughs this week have shown me that this team is smart and ready to learn.”
“What about the reported clashes you’re having with your OC?” Kyle presses.
Lincoln tilts his head and looks confused for a beat. “There have been reported clashes?” He shrugs. “News to me.”
“Tell us about the competition for QB,” another reporter asks.
“We’ve got a healthy competition going for many of our positions. There’s a ton of talent on this team, and I’m watching for many different factors as we progress through OTAs and into camp season,” he says.
I raise my hand, and Jack, the mediator of this press conference, points to me. “Coach, talk to us about how you’re going to keep a winning culture around here with so many new, young players.”
He grins at me. He didn’t grin at any of the other reporters, and I get the sinking feeling that everyone will be onto us.
“We’ve got a lot of leaders on our team. A few key players retired, sure, but we still have many of our starters from last season. Bryant, Woods, Higgins, Garrett, Harris…the list is endless. We’ve filled those spots over this offseason, and I’m excited about the young talent we’re working with. In addition, we retained several key members of the coaching staff, and Jack Dalton is neither gone nor forgotten.” He nods at his boss standing beside him. “I don’t think this culture knows anything except winning, and we will maintain that at all costs.”
At all costs.
I wonder what that means.
I wonder what the expense will be if it all comes down to it.
I wonder what he’s willing to sacrifice to win.
And I also wonder whether this is just lip service. He wants those sound bites floating around, and he’s smart enough to say the things he knows he has to in order to set the tone.
It’s quite a tone he’s already setting, and I’m excited to attend another practice next week to learn more.
The press conference comes to an end, and I wait for the press area to clear out before I use my keycard and head toward the back elevators.
I spot Jack talking to him. I can’t quite make out what they’re saying, but Jack is nodding and I get the sense that he’s happy with how Lincoln handled the press.
“Coach, a word?” I ask when both their heads swing in my direction.
“Of course, Ms. Bailey. In my office?”
I nod and take the elevator up with the two men as an ache presses between my legs.
Not for both men, though I’m not opposed to a threesome with the Jack Dalton, but he’s happily married.
No, this ache is purely for Lincoln, and I’m about to ensure he soothes it before I walk out the front doors…maybe with his come brushing wetly against my cunt again.
God, just the mere thought of it sends a shudder right through me.
The doors glide open and Jack heads to his office while Lincoln and I head toward his.
“No interruptions, please,” Lincoln says to his secretary, and she smiles politely and nods as I wave to her then follow Lincoln into his office.
He shuts the door behind him, sealing us into privacy, and no sooner is it shut than he’s pinning me up against it as his lips crash down to mine.
“Jesus Christ,” he murmurs against the skin of my neck as his lips drag across. “Do you have any idea how fucking hard it is to listen to you ask me a question in a press conference?”
