Chapter 10

Blaze

It’s New Year’s Eve, and this game sucks ass. Everyone is playing like crap, and I’m just ready for it to be over. Yeah, my attitude has been utter shit since Christmas Day. Luca’s interrogation all the way home started it, yet I did not let one private moment slip. I hold those moments with Gaia sacred.

All of my thoughts since those couple of days I spent with Gaia, have been preoccupied by her. I loved being around her because things between us were natural. I am pulled to her, and I can’t get enough. I know missing her is making me a miserable bastard, but part of me wants to try for something more. Is Luca right, though? He thinks there’s no way in hell it would work.

By the skin of our ass, we pull out the win, and the day is finally over. All I want to do is go home and welcome the new year in by myself. I am not up to entertaining people or going out with the team, like they want. I can’t act like I am all happy to start a new year when my gut keeps telling me that there is more to life than just a game with a fucking round, black and white ball.

Our coach gives us the usual after-game speech, and we are released. Despite the enormity of the stadium, I am suffocating. My feet are heavy on the way back to the locker room, and I drag along, rather than jog like the rest of the team.

By the time I make it to the hallway, Luca shoots from the locker room and sprints down the hall. I guess he has a hot date to get to, but since he didn’t have his things with him, he’ll be back soon. Anyway, I don’t give a shit.

Crashing on the bench in front of my locker, I slowly remove my cleats and sweaty clothes before making my way to the showers. It seems like everyone is already gone, and I take my time, letting the warm water beat down on my sore body. With no place to run to, time doesn’t matter.

I faintly hear my name being called, and the voice sounds way too much like Gaia’s. Either I have dozed off in here, or I have water in my ears. As I shake my head, someone calls for me again, but I continue to let the water massage my neck.

“Is there any room in there for me?” The voice is louder this time, so loud that I turn to look.

Holy fuck, is she really here?

Never mind. I am not going to question it or her, and I hope like hell this place is empty as I wrap Gaia in my arms and pull her under the spray of water. Her squeals are muted when I crash my lips to hers. She wraps her arms around my neck, and I lift her up to guide her legs around my waist. My dick is hard against her center, begging to rip off her offending clothes and to be seated in her tight, warm core.

After setting her on her feet, I rid Gaia of her jersey, but not before noting that it baresmynumber. Next to go are her jeans, and they pose a definite challenge being soaked. I’m determined to get rid of them as fast as possible.

Success.

Two smooth motions later, Gaia is back in my arms, her legs wrapped around my body, and I am deep inside her, right where I belong. I use the shower wall to support her, and I free a hand to touch her, to feel her, to make sure this is really happening.

Gaia’s back arches into my palm as I cover her breast, her motion edging me to give her what she needs. Her breathless words confirm it, “Give me more, harder, I need more.” Her nipples are erect, and I get unbelievably thicker inside her. She moans, making me thrust harder, deeper, craving the squeeze of her pussy walls.

I stare at Gaia, water dripping down our faces. I give her a hard kiss, one that tells her I am right here with her, and that, damn it, I am not leaving her this time. Her fiery eyes burn into mine, and I slide my hand down between us to give her clit a hard pinch. It sends her over the edge, screaming my name, milking my cock.

With unknown strength, I hold back a minute more as Gaia comes down from her climax. Then I sit her down on her feet and turn her around to place her hands on the wall, and I enter her again without warning. Gaia gasps with the intrusion, but she moves that delectable ass back into me, welcoming me. Three pumps are all it takes; I yank my dick out. Two strokes later, I shoot my load all over her ass.

I let my sated body cover Gaia’s back, and I spin her around. She kisses me, as I move us back under the spray. We bathe one another, and I grab my towel to dry her before I use it for myself.

“What are you doing here?” I ask with a mix of calm and excitement.

“I had to see you. Honestly, I don’t know how you will take this. I have prepared myself for the rejection. These last five days I have done nothing but think of you, wish that you were there to cuddle into at night, and be the one to stand by me at the store when the crazy busyness ensues with demanding tourists. I don’t have a clue as to what this means or how this will work. All I know is that I want to try. Give it my all, to see what we could have between us.” She breaks for a big breath and continues, “Sorry to ramble all that out at once. I’ve been holding it in for a while now.”

Silence. That’s what I give Gaia for one minute, as I stare into her pleading eyes. I lean into her, so close that our lips briefly touch.

“I want that too,” I whisper against those plump, just-kissed lips.

Gaia leans back, as if shocked. “What?”

My smile is so big it hurts my mouth, but I can’t contain it. “A huge realization came to me this morning. Why do all of this with my career, if I can’t have anyone to share it with? I’ve been wracking my brain about how I could get back to you, or how I could ask Luca for your number. I hadn’t found that answer, but you are here, answering it for me.” I take her face in my hands and kiss her again. “I’m sorry that I got you all wet. Wait! How did you get in here, and are you here by yourself?”

“My brother let me in, after he made sure everyone was gone, and I locked the door after I came in. I figured you would be done before the rest of the team was gone, but I’m really glad you took a long time.”

Confusion swarms my head. “Your brother?”

“Yeah, he and I had a little chat in the hallway, along with my parents. I told them I am a grownup, and that they have to let me live my life. Luca grumbled for a little bit, but in the end, he said if I had to be with anyone in the league, he’s glad that I am with you.”

Gaia grabs her phone, from the purse she dropped on the bench when she came into the locker room, and tells me she’s sending a quick text to her parents and brother letting them know she is all good and will be celebrating New Years with me tonight. They made arrangements for us to meet them tomorrow for lunch atourpizzeria.

I grab Gaia a sweat suit out of the supply closet, for her to wear on our way home. The suit is way too big for her, but it is coming off as soon as we walk in the door anyway.

“I’m excited to be spending New Years with you,” she says and reaches up to kiss me.

I return the kiss, deepening it in agreement with what she has confessed. “I’m excited to spendmanymore New Yearstogether.”
