An explosive confrontation with his nemesis Kingston leads them to take their rivalry to the next level off the court. Can two fierce adversaries turn passion into romance?</span></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Knightley Neilson</strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kingston Sabatino throws fuel on my fire like nothing else ever has. Our rivalry is all-consuming since I’m determined to dethrone him and reclaim my rightful place as the number one tennis player in the world. I will beat him, someday.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I confront Kingston after another devastating loss, the line between my rage and obsession to win begins to blur as I discover there might be another way for me to come out on top. True, I’ve never been attracted to a man before, but the temptation to have him at my mercy matters more to me than his gender. I’m not just willing to make him mine; I want to claim him as mine in every way. Having him give in to me will ultimately be the sweetest victory.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is it really possible for me to love a man like Kingston while still wanting to be the winner?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Kingston Sabatino</strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ll do anything to win Knightley’s heart. That includes becoming the best tennis player in the entire world and defeating him every time we meet. Next, I’ll issue a challenge I know he’ll never be able to resist, even though he’s straight: take his passionate rage out on me in the hottest way possible. That’s how I discover he kisses to win. And I’m not about to let him stop there.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Can I help him see past our rivalry to understand that we’re perfect for each other in every way? Tennis starts with “Love-all,” so let the game begin.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>Battle for the Top</strong> is a standalone novella featuring a rivals to lovers, bisexual awakening, sports romance.

I vibrated with the force of my rage, resenting that everything in my life had become tied up in one infuriating individual who refused to submit to me. “I fucking <em>hate</em> you.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">Kingston arched against me with a sensuous moan. “Yeah? Then hate me harder.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">Confusing as it was, I couldn’t ignore that my body reacted to his gratuitous display. “What?”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">“<em>Harder</em>,” he gasped like he was begging me to fuck him. He rocked his hips against mine with another breathy, pleading noise.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">My eyes widened when I felt Kingston’s hard length pressing against me. Part of my brain was shocked that maybe Kingston was gay, since I had never heard rumors about him being with a partner of either gender. But the realization of what I had done to him sent a jolt of adrenaline rocketing through my system. Having the power to arouse him opened up new avenues to get even with him. I may have been straight, but the prospect of dominating Kingston fired me up like nothing else ever had.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">The thought of having him under me, begging me for pleasure, stoked my lust into a roaring blaze. It was a powerful aphrodisiac, swaying me into questioning the merits of our latest battle taking place with our bodies rather than in a stadium. Even the rational part of my brain was on board with the idea, making the argument that a hole was a hole, and defeating him in bed would provide a new level of satisfaction.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">Revealing none of my interest or intentions, I needed to make sure we were on the same page. “Are you offering yourself to me?” When he didn’t answer, I groped his ass and pulled his body flush against mine. It didn't appall me as I would have expected considering I had only been interested in women in the past. Instead, I flew high on the power trip of knowing I had him at my mercy if he wanted sexual gratification from me.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">“I want you to fuck me like you hate me.” He pressed himself against me, allowing him to tug on my earlobe with his teeth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">The action went straight to my dick, which demanded I take the chance to dominate my otherwise unbeatable opponent, sexuality be damned. “I <em>absolutely </em>hate you.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: large;">“Then fuck me like you mean it.” Kingston gave me a cocky smirk before he pulled me down for a harsh kiss.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p> </blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="BFTT Promo 2" class="size-full wp-image-4577 aligncenter" height="335" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/bftt-promo-2.png" width="640" /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><hr /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enter the Giveaway:</span></h2><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">To celebrate Ariella's upcoming release, we are giving away One of 3 backlisted eBooks by Ariella Zoelle!</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway for your chance to win!</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/cc0f2a57233/?">A Rafflecopter Giveaway</a></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Direct Link: http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/cc0f2a57233/?</span></p><span style="font- size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Out Now Banner" class="size-full wp-image-4579 aligncenter" height="335" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/out-now-banner.png" width="640" /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><hr /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Logo" class="wp-image-4061 aligncenter" height="395" src="https://gayrmncereviews.files.wordpress.com/2021/05/logo.jpg" width="682" /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>About the Author:</strong></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" id="block- yui_3_17_2_38_1474035937755_15290"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ariella Zoelle previously published as A.F.
