I’m not sure I ever will, but I sure as hell am trying.
Doing what I did at the game in San Diego was probably the easiest and hardest thing I had ever done. I knew where I wanted Kelsey to sit, so I could flirt with her throughout the game, but knowing 4225 West sat there had me second guessing my plan. Thankfully, Noah pulled some strings and helped me. He didn’t have to ask his dad or Peyton’s to help, but he did and did so without reservation. Noah’s a good friend and I’m damn lucky to have him in my life. I don’t even know how I’ll ever thank him, Liam, or Harrison for making Kelsey feel welcome and included, but I’m going to spend the rest of my life trying to find a way. The words aren’t enough, and I’m not sure anything ever will be.
By the end of the game, Liam and Harrison had Kelsey laughing, taking selfies, and smiling so damn big. Of course, I knew some of that smile of hers was meant for me, and it felt good seeing her happy. That’s how I want to see her, every day, for the rest of her life.
I stand in front of the mirror in my walk-in closet and adjust my bowtie. Behind, Kelsey fusses with her heels and mutters a string of unpleasantries. I stare at her through the mirror and take her in before turning around.
“Honey, sit down.” I move the pile of clothes off the bench and guide her to it, and then crouch down and help her slip her shoe on. Once her foot is incased, I kiss her ankle. But that’s not enough for me and I continue to move my way up her leg, bunching her dress as I go.
“Alex.” There’s a hint of warning in her tone. Only a hint though. She hasn’t told me to stop. When I reach her red lace thong, I nuzzle her. Her gasp is faint.
“So, fucking sweet.” I run my nose over the lace covering her. “Can I taste you?”
“No,” she says softly, teasing me as her fingers push into my head.
I smile and pull her panties aside, while my other arm wraps around her waist to pull her forward a bit. I need better access. Miraculously this gorgeous dress I bought her is now over her hips and her legs widen. She may have told me no, but did she really mean it?
My knuckle brushes against her slit, causing her to gasp. “Alex, we don’t have time.” She moans and my tongue says differently after I taste her.
“Fucking delicious.” Another lick from her center to her clit. My teeth graze her sensitive bud before putting my mouth there. “God, I fucking love this pussy.”
“She loves you too.”
“She fucking better because she’s mine.”
As much as I want to stay buried between her legs, we have an obligation. After another lick with a little tease around her hole, I put her panties back and kiss my way down her leg until I’m at her bare foot, where I help slip her heel on.
I stand and my hard-on ends up at her eye level. Kelsey licks her lips and I growl. “Later.” As much as it pains me to say that word, if I let her tug my zipper down and free my cock, we’ll miss the fundraiser and Coach will have my hide. With my contract coming up soon, the last thing I need is to give him an excuse to not renew me. Of course, if Noah leaves, I may follow, depending on Kelsey. It’s not really something we talk about because she loves her job. For all I know, I could end up staying in Portland til retirement, although I’m way too young for that.
Stepping away from her penetrating eyes, I go back to the mirror and make sure my bowtie is straight, and then I head into the bathroom. Kelsey follows and fixes her makeup even though she looks flawless. I kiss her and then rinse my mouth out even though I’d love nothing more than to keep the taste of her on my tongue, I wouldn’t want to embarrass her if someone noticed and said something. I work with a bunch of jocks, they’re crude and have no filters.
A horn honks outside and we gather our things. I drape Kelsey’s bare shoulders with a shawl and hold the door for her. The event is downtown and is a fundraiser with the Marines for Toys for Tots. We’ll likely see Maggie for the first time since Kelsey and I have gotten back together. My plan is to ignore her but if she comes up to us, I’ll be cordial. People will be watching, and I don’t need to give anyone any ammunition.
