Page 49 of Play for Keeps

Millie’s breath hitched when he pushed into her wet heat. Her pussy closed around him, swollen tight from their previous encounters. Conscious she might be a little sore—hell,hewas—Ty moved slowly, sinking into her inch by mind-blowing inch. When he was seated deep inside her, he paused to catch his own breath. Millie made a soft mewling noise in the back of her throat and squirmed. Somewhere in the depths of his sex-addled brain, he recognized the noise, but he couldn’t quite put a finger on why. All he knew was the squeak had about the same effect as a ref’s whistle on him.

He moved cautiously at first, gliding in and out of her snug pussy with excruciating care. Biting the inside of his cheek, he watched and waited while she adjusted, wriggling her hips until they met at the right angle. Then she wound those long, lean legs around him, tilted up to meet his thrust, and smiled beatifically.

“Ten bucks says you can’t make me come again,” she whispered.

The challenge made him stumble, but he soon caught up to pace. Bracing his weight on his forearm, he wedged his hand into the nonexistent space between them. “I’ll take that bet.”

“Nuh-uh.” She clamped a hand around his arm and yanked. “No hands, sport.”

Growling deep in his throat, he acquiesced to her request. “Fine. Game on.”

Shifting his weight forward, he pressed into his knees and changed the angle. Pushing into her from above, the shaft of his dick trailed along her slick clit with every stroke. “Like this? Will this get you off, Mil?”

She made the squawky noise again, and Ty knew he’d hit the right spot.

“Gonna get me too, but I can wait. Oh, I can wait.” His breath came harder. He was pretty much lying his ass off about the waiting thing. Thankfully, her pussy was getting tighter still with every stroke, and those maddening gasps and grunts were coming fast and furious now. Greedy for more of them, he picked up the tempo. “I’ll wait, Millie. I can hold off. As long as it takes. I’m gonna win.”

And win he did. Big. Her fingernails bit into his back as the first shudder rolled through her. If he wasn’t mistaken, the last gasp sounded a lot like his name. And then she screamed. Not long or loud. Barely more than a yelp, really, but Ty couldn’t hold back. Those slippery, sweet walls clamped tightly around him, and the next thing he knew, he was coming again. This time, his climax was far more feeling than force, but Ty couldn’t give less of a damn if he tried.

She owed him ten bucks.

Chapter 12

Millie was exhausted, and not because she’d spent the night being worked over by her lusty new lover. No. For the first time in her life, she had gone and fallen into bed with a man of his word. The minute their breathing slowed, Ty had rolled off the edge of the mattress and began stalking around the room, moving with the lithe grace of a panther. He’d gathered her discarded clothing and placed the pile on the end of the bed before disappearing into the attached bath.

He’d returned as promised, plucked up the jeans she’d peeled him out of earlier that evening, and thrust his long legs into the tangled denim. “Come on. I’ll take you home.”

But it didn’t matter if she slept in her own bed or not; the man was responsible for the dark circles under her eyes. She’d tossed and turned all night. Thoughts of Ty and their romp in bed chased her through her morning run. She’d even dressed for him. Slim cigarette pants and a crisp, white shirt. She’d slicked her mouth with her favorite lipstick, Rapscallion Red, and then left her house, determined to make him pay for her lack of sleep.

Thirty minutes later, she breezed through the door of the Warrior Center with her tote swinging from the crook of her elbow and enough swagger to do a sailor proud. She nodded to a couple of students hauling massive equipment duffels, floated a flirty smile at one of Danny’s assistant coaches as he wandered past with his phone pressed to his ear, and waved to the athletics editor of theWarrior Weekly. Without breaking stride, she hooked a sharp right into Kate’s office.

“I’m thinking we should hit the mall tonight,” she announced. “I have need for new lingerie.”

“I’m sorry, think I have a colonic scheduled this evening,” Kate replied without missing a beat.

Millie stopped short when she spotted the hot hunk of man sprawled in the guest chair across from her best friend. The tablet perched on Ty’s knee was dark and smudged with fingerprints. He craned his neck to look back at her. The smile he wore stretched from ear to ear. “Hey, Millie.”

Not one to back down from anyone or anything, she leveled a blank stare on him. “Hello, lover.”

Kate choked on a laugh. Slapping a hand to her chest, she threw her head back and let loose. “Wow. Okay, well, I guess I don’t have to ask what you kids did last night.”

“We played Monopoly.” Millie strolled the rest of the way into the office, hoping they couldn’t hear the thudding of her heart. “I bankrupted him with my hotels.” She smirked at Ty. “Are you in here begging for a little lunch money? Our Katie isn’t just a winner. She’s carrying cash around in those bags with the dollar signs now.”

Ty inclined his head, acknowledging the hit. “I’ve got lunch covered, thanks.” He picked up the tablet and rose to his full height, inch by spectacular inch. “I was dropping off a jersey for the Kids Kare auction, but I’d be happy to make a donation to the lingerie fund if you’re accepting contributions.”

She cocked an eyebrow. “Maybe you’d like to go with me?”

Ty chuckled. “Well, luckily, I do not have an enema scheduled, but I do have a practice to run.” He lifted a hand in farewell to Kate, then sidled past Millie. “But if you’re looking for input, I like the pretty, lacy things more than the hooker stuff.”

“Hooker stuff?” Kate and Millie asked in unison.

Ty shrugged and started toward the door, unfazed by their questioning. “If you see something you think my ex-wife would have picked out, you’ll know what I mean.”

He took off before either of them could respond.

Millie watched until he disappeared, then swallowed a sigh as she leveled a pointed look at Kate. “Sadly, I know exactly what he means.”

Kate nodded. “I do too.” Her smile shone a shade too eager as she said, “Take a seat.”
