Ayaan "Yan" El-Sayeed is the campus golden boy: a pretty, ruthless Omega winger with lightning in his feet and laughter that starts trouble. One reckless slide tackle, one wrenched ankle, and his championship dreams hang by a thread.
Enter Cassian Wolfe-ex-pro, now the university's gruff, green-flag Alpha head coach. He's all discipline and ethics, the kind of man who reads tactics like poetry and feelings like a foreign language. His verdict is non-negotiable: rehab by the book, scent control on lock, boundaries everywhere.
What begins as clinical proximity turns charged. Breath counts become intimacy. Ayaan's pre-heat window looms, protocol falters in a thunderstorm, and Cassian says the most dangerous, decent thing a coach can say: I'll recuse. No secrets. No stains on you.
With formal oversight in place, they finally let themselves want-slowly, carefully, hungrily. Private training turns into razor-thin lines, a campus blind item explodes, and a rival's "accidental" hit raises the stakes right before playoffs. Choosing each other could cost the season, their reputations, and the futures they've bled for...unless they write their own rules and win the only championship that matters.
From the first clipped "Good" on a floodlit sideline to a daylight-soft public kiss, Coach, Don't Tempt Me is a sexy, emotional Omegaverse romance about consent as foreplay, restraint as intimacy, and the kind of love that keeps receipts. Expect slow-burn heat, ethical power dynamics (recusal, transparency, oversight), and a finale that tastes like victory and beginnings.
HEA guaranteed. Standalone. Dual third-person POV.
