When I see the ad in the Portland Alternative's "Love Wanted" section, I can't resist the urge to respond. Yes, it's dangerous - as a star forward for the Badgers, I have a reputation to protect - but I miss the thrill of calling the shots in the bedroom, and reading that ad is the first time I've laughed in months.

When I agreed to let her stay with me, I thought it was no big deal. I expected to share my apartment with a sullen girl who'd spend hours locked in her room. I didn't expect a walking fantasy determined to make me lose my cool. I didn't expect a woman with secrets so dark, so deep, I'd throw away everything if it would save her from the past.

Protecting Everly meant putting myself in Kraken's war path, but I couldn't care less. The only thing he asked of us was to stay away from her, to let her have a normal life . . . but how could I do that when I knew the man she was fooling around with? He was no good for her, and I knew his track record. He would ruin Everly like he ruined every woman before her, and I wasn't going to let it happen. It didn't matter that the club was going through hell, that we were in the middle of the biggest battle we'd had in ages.

I moved to Florida to begin my NFL career and tried to pretend my perfect life didn't leave me empty.
