You Think We Don't — J.M. Snyder

Two college basketball players on a team bound for the championships carry on an affair after hours. Neither talks about the time they spend in each other's arms. They kid themselves and pretend it's just sex. They think no one else knows.

They're wrong on both accounts. But it isn't until a fellow teammate interferes that they're willing to admit how much they care for each other.

Note: This story appears in my anthology, Flashed, available in both e-book and print format.
