I laughed and then continued. “I do, I’m sorry. I just like to see you all out of sorts sometimes. It’s cute.”

She poked her lips out, rolled her eyes, then smiled.

“Anyway, I told them yes, I’m taking it. I called Marcus to tell him to decline the contract with the Knights. My journey with them is done and the new one with you is all that matters. I want to slide into my purpose and I can’t do that if I’m going back to something I don’t love because of money.”

Lore practically tackled me as she climbed on top of me. She wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tight with genuine happiness. I couldn’t help but grip her ass. She made me brick up by the way she was on top of me.

“I am so excited for you and I can’t wait to see what you accomplish,” she said.

I smiled up at her and glanced over to check the time. I noticed I still had at least an hour and a half before I needed to be at the studio. I returned my attention to her and reached down in between her thighs to play with her clit. She moaned at my touch and she was already wet.

I quickly pulled my dick from the confines of my briefs, slipped her panties to the side, and slid every inch into her slowly.

“Niko, mmm, fuck.” She moaned as I stroked from beneath her.

I smirked up at her and bit my lower lip.

“I love the way you say my name. Say that shit again for me. Show daddy how well you can take dick, baby.” I groaned, my eyes half-lidded.

Her pussy always had me on a high every time I got up in it. She pulled herself up and proceeded to bounce on my shit. I groaned.

Damn, if I had known this was what it would be like as a married man, I would have been made the leap, but I knew better. This shit would only be this way with Lore, no one else. I continued to love my wife’s body and her soul until it was time for us to get ready.

I would have never guessed leaving her side would get harder and harder as each day went by. I glanced around Lore’s place, reminding myself that we needed to find the time to go house shopping. I hadn’t been back to my place since the first night we stayed there. I could tell she needed to be close to her art and nothing at my spot held any need for me. I knew once we took that step to find a place together, it would change everything.

“Niko, are we still having dinner with your family this weekend?” Lore asked from the kitchen.

I had forgotten all about that damn dinner. I was sure it was because I had no intentions of being around anything that would piss me off. Lore walked into the living room and stood in front of me. My tie was undone since I planned to fix it before I walked into So Sports. She reached up and started fixing it. I couldn’t help but smile.

“Nah, I would rather celebrate with you. I’ll let my mom know we will pick another time. I don’t feel like being irritated at the moment. I want to settle into this peace I’ve been feeling lately.”

Lore nodded. “Well, I support you. Have a good day today and I’ll be waiting by my phone to hear all about it.”

I leaned down and kissed her once, then had to go back for another before finally leaving. I drove to the studio and parked in the employee parking area after going through security and being given a visitor’s pass.

As I stepped into the bustling studio of So Sports, a rush of excitement and nerves coursed through my veins. Today marked the beginning of my new career as a sports anchor, a thrilling chapter in my life that I had been eagerly expecting.

The show’s producer, Emily, welcomed me with a warm smile and a firm handshake. “Niko, we’re so glad to have you on board,” she said, her enthusiasm clear in her voice. “Let me give you a tour of the studio and introduce you to the team. Also, your agent, Marcus, called and mentioned you would like to do an exclusive interview with your wife, introducing her to the world. We would love that. ”

I nodded, liking this idea much better than the press conference that I had initially planned. I made a mental note to tell Lore about it and make sure she was cool with everything.

“Yes, if you can let me know so I can pass the information along to my wife.”

“I sure will. Let’s get this tour underway.”

I followed Emily through the labyrinth of corridors, taking in the sights and sounds of the fast-paced environment. The walls were adorned with posters of legendary athletes and iconic sports moments, serving as a constant reminder of the passion and dedication that fueled this industry.

As we entered the main studio, I couldn’t help but marvel at the state-of-the-art equipment and the bustling energy that filled the room. The set was an impressive display of sleek design and innovative technology, with multiple cameras, teleprompters, and a massive LED screen that dominated the backdrop.

Emily introduced me to the various members of the team, from the camera operators and sound technicians to the fellow anchors and reporters. Everyone greeted me with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, making me feel instantly welcome in this new environment.

“And this is where the magic happens,” Emily said, guiding me toward the anchor desk. “This is your spot, Niko. From here, you’ll be delivering the latest sports news and insights to millions of viewers across the country.”

I ran my hand along the smooth surface of the desk, imagining myself sitting there, sharing my love and knowledge of sports with the world. It was a surreal moment, a dream come true for a lifelong sports enthusiast like me.

Throughout the day, I shadowed the other anchors, observing their techniques and learning the ropes of live broadcasting. They shared valuable tips and advice, from how to engage with the camera to crafting compelling narratives that would captivate the audience.

As the tour came to an end, Emily handed me a stack of scripts and a schedule for the upcoming week. “We’re thrilled to have you on the team, Niko,” she said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Your unique perspective as a former NFL player will bring a fresh dynamic to the show. We can’t wait to see you in action.”
