Mint to Be by F.A. Ray
Boyfriend Café, Book 4
I’ve given up on love by the time tall, dark and handsome sweeps me off my feet — literally.
Mal
Everyone around me is sickeningly in love. And I’m happy for my friends. I really am. But when is my turn coming? Why am I still a disposable hookup?
I’m ready to give up on love entirely by the time a bunch of drunk jocks decide to jump me on my way home from the Boyfriend Café. But before a single punch can fall he sweeps in, my dashing hero, my literal tall, dark and handsome, the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
Please tell me this isn’t a dream.
Omari
The second I hear a scream I run toward it without thinking. My own teammates are threatening someone, and I rush in to stop them. But the man I save is … beautiful. And funny. And smart. And he brazenly gives me his phone number right then and there.
He has no idea that he just gave his number to the most hunted man at this university.
I’m Omari Carter, a football player everyone assumes is destined for the pros. Scouts are hounding me. Coach is pushing me to decide on my future. My whole family is depending on me. But Mal doesn’t know or care about any of that.
With all the expectations weighing me down, I don’t have time for love. So why can’t I walk away from this?
Mint to Be is an opposites attract MM romance with a major size difference, a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, an athlete meeting a lovable fashion nerd and spicy open door scenes.

“You didn’t even let me do my big reveal,” I say.
Confusion knots Omari’s brows as I step back. A smile curls my mouth. I slide the jacket loose, letting it puddle on the floor as it reveals my getup.
Omari’s lips part softly. The confusion loosens its grip, leaving his expression wide and open. He blinks, and I can actually see his chest expanding and constricting with each breath.
“You like it?” I say after several seconds pass without him speaking.
All he says is “fuck.” Then he storms toward me. I catch myself against his chest as his big hands go right to my ass, cupping and squeezing the part peeking out of my skirt. His kiss would knock me flat if I wasn’t clinging to his shirt. He steals my breath, licking into my mouth, kissing me and kissing me until I’m woozy in his arms.
I guess that’s a yes.
Using the hands cupping my ass, Omari hikes me up. I throw my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, loving how easily he lifts me and tosses me around when he’s riled up like this. He walks me to the bed, and he’s been here enough that he knows exactly where it is before he hits it and falls onto it with me beneath him.
Omari leaves me splayed out under him as he sits back to peel off his shirt and reveal that delicious ripple of abs carved into his torso like stone. He props his arms on either side of me, a shadow hanging over me, a boulder waiting to fall and crush me. I reach up for him, eager for the fall, for the weight of him against me.
“You look fucking incredible,” he says the instant before he crashes against me.
His weight presses me into the bed as he lays atop me. His lips are back on mine, hungry, relentless. He slots himself between my spread legs, and even through his sweatpants I can feel his hard erection when he grinds it against mine. My thong has only a thin pouch in the front, which allows me to feel absolutely everything when he grinds his hips against me. I moan from the pressure, my fingers curling in his hair so I have something to cling to as pleasure overtakes me.
When he lets me have a breath of air, I gasp, “Hurry up and fuck me.”
His eyes flicker down my body. “Can I leave the skirt on?”
Okay, so maybe he really, really likes it. I am definitely remembering that for the future.
“God, yes,” I say.
