Finding Home (Player Loves Curves 2)

“Maybe when she’s done with you, I can –” he starts to say, but I don’t let him finish. I have my forearm against his throat and I’m pressing into it, forcing his back into the locker. The other guys are just standing around watching, but they all know not to interfere.

“You stay away from her, you got me?” I push on his throat a little more and then drop him until he’s bent over wheezing.

I don’t even look back at him. I grab my bag and head for the door.

When I get out to the breezeway, Holly’s standing there waiting on me. She knows instantly that something is bothering me. But I shake my head, grab her hand, and pull her with me. I keep reminding myself to calm down, it’s not Holly’s fault, but seeing her with Carter earlier is something that I can’t get off my mind.

I get her into the truck and force myself to take some calming breaths. We haven’t talked about what this is between us, but I know I don’t want to lose Holly. Seeing her with Carter earlier brought out some possessiveness that I’ve never felt before. “So what did Carter say to you?” I can’t help asking her again.

Instantly, she’s shaking her head. “Nothing, Shawn.” She rolls her eyes and laughs, but I can tell she’s uncomfortable. She changes the subject quickly and I pull out, thinking about it the whole way home. I can’t get it out of my mind, seeing them standing next to each other.

We no sooner get in the front door and I have her backed against the wall. I lean down to kiss her and I don’t want to scare her, but I know it’s all consuming. I can’t get enough of her and the fear of losing her is real. I deepen the kiss, sweeping my tongue through her mouth, tasting her until I’m sure I have her committed to memory. When I pull away from her, I’m breathing hard. She’s looking up at me with a question in her desire-filled eyes. Her lips are swollen and her hair is mussed, but I’ve never seen her look more beautiful… more loved.

I must be staring at her too hard because she asks me, “What is it? What’s wrong?”

I don’t answer her. How do I tell her that I want her for me and only me? I don’t want to share her with anyone else, for other men to look at her, or to want her. She’ll think I’m crazy and obsessed. But even knowing that, I can’t stop myself. I remove her clothes until she’s standing before me, and I can see every bare inch of her. One stroke of my hand between her legs, and I find that she’s already wet for me. I undo my button on my pants and pull them down to my thighs. I stroke my cock twice before I lift her up and impale her on my stiff rod.

She moans noisily and I give her time for her body to adjust to me. As soon as she’s settled, I piston my hips in and out of her. I lean her back against the wall, but don’t stop thrusting inside of her. When I feel her channel tightening on me, I grunt at her over and over. “You’re mine, Holly. You’re mine” right before I fill her up with my warm seed.

Holly

The next morning, I feel that I can barely move. Shawn kept me up half the night. We no sooner finished making love and he was ready to go again. I don’t know what got into him, but I’m not complaining. Last night was different than any night before. He held me differently and when he told me I was his, it took everything in my power not to tell him I love him.

When I roll over, he’s sitting on the edge of the bed watching me. I rub at my eyes and stretch before I lean up on my elbows. “You didn’t get any sleep and the big game is today,”

I say to him. It’s on the tip of my tongue to wish him happy birthday but I don’t because I don’t want to have to explain how I knew it was his birthday today.

He reaches out and rubs his knuckles along my cheek and I curl into him. He asks me huskily, “You still coming today?”

I reach up and grab his hand that is caressing my face. “As if I would miss it. Plus, I’ll be there early for your batting practice. Remember, I talked to the manager about taking some photos for the program book.”

He nods his head but doesn’t seem too happy about it. When we talked about it the other day, he thought it was a great idea. I don’t know what could have happened to change his mind, but I’m thinking maybe it’s just stress from the game today.
