All she has to do is keep an eye on the smoking hot player, and cry foul if he makes a move… This perky mascot definitely knows how to get under Chase’s skin. But with the bet well underway, Chase starts to see Willow in a whole new light. And as the sparks between them ignite, Chase begins to wonder if this is one bet he’ll be happy to lose…
