Big Baller: Bad Boy Sports Romance Page 12

  “Can I get a full tour of the house?” Jamie asked.

  “Sure.” I got up from the couch. “All the furniture isn’t here yet. I’m not used to having so many rooms. When you go from one room to ten rooms, it’s quite a difference.”

  Jessica nodded her head in agreement while Jamie smiled.

  The three of us walked upstairs, and I showed them my master bedroom. It was the main reason I’d bought the house. I had instantly fallen in love with the luxurious space.

  In addition to four bedrooms, I had an empty library, an empty gym-room, and a media room. A whole damn room for watching movies. I’d dreamed of the day for so long.

  “You’re making me jealous,” Jamie said as we walked back downstairs to the living room.

  “Well, I’d say I worked hard to earn it, but I didn’t.”

  “Oh, you worked hard,” Jessica said.

  “Where’s Tony?” I asked, looking around, intent on changing the subject from my past to the future.

  “I don’t know,” Jamie said. “Maybe he went out back to the pool?”

  “That’s strange.”

  “Not for Tony,” she said. “He can be moody as hell sometimes.”

  “Yeah, I kind of got that.”

  “Well, I should go.” She stood. “You need a ride, Jessica?”

  “Sure,” Jessica said as she got to her feet. “Are you okay to drive?”

  “I’ll be fine.”

  “You’re all abandoning me,” I teased with mock disappointment.

  “I’m sure you want some time alone with your man,” Jessica said.

  “Um,” Jamie said. “Let’s not talk about that with me around, okay?”

  I smiled.

  “Thanks for coming over. Both of you. I’ll call you two later. Maybe we can do lunch sometime or something.”

  “I’d love that,” Jamie said. “Talk to you later.”

  As she and Jessica walked to the front of the house, I went out back to find Tony.

  TWENTY-ONE

  Tony

  I heard the sliding-glass door open and turned. Heidi stepped out into the soft lights, smiling and beautiful as ever. She stopped next to me.

  “Whatcha doing out here all by yourself?”

  “Just thinking. Where are the other two?”

  “They left.”

  “Oh? Was…”

  “Jamie was fine. I gave them a tour of the house. She said she was jealous.”

  “She could have a great job and money if she applied herself. Our parents have always given her everything she needs, and she’s never had to work for anything like us.”

  “I like when you say us.”

  She slid an arm around my waist and glanced up and into my eyes.

  Maybe it was the stars ahead, or the sparkling water in the lit pool, or any number of things, but I found myself wanting to spend the rest of my life with the woman next to me.

  “This is all moving so fast,” I noted, gauging her reaction to my words.

  “I agree,” she said without pause or looking away. “It’s good, though, right?”

  “It’s more than good,” I said, leaning and bending to kiss her on the mouth.

  She sighed, melting in my arms as our lips and tongues danced with each other.

  “You going to help me break in my new bed?” she asked.

  “All night long.

  “Let’s go inside.”

  “We could try out the pool first.”

  “Don’t you think it’s a bit chilly?”

  “I’d keep you warm.”

  She smiled as I reached down and lifted the bottom of her shirt. Arms up in the air, I pulled it off, loving the way her perfectly-sized breasts came together with beautiful curves.

  I kissed her neck then moved lower as she ran her fingers through my hair. At the same time, I undid the straps of her bra. It fell to the cement as I took a nipple between my lips.

  Her moans filled the night air as I circled my tongue around one areola while placing my palm over the other. I squeezed. She grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it off me.

  Bare breasts pressed against each other, we kissed again, even more passionately. Time stood still for me. We had said those three little words already, but now I felt the love.

  I unbuttoned my pants and took them off while she did the same. Once completely naked, we doze into the pool. The unseasonably warm night air contrasted with the water.

  “Whoa,” she said after her head broke the surface.

  “Colder than I thought it would be.”

  “Let’s get inside.”

  She swam toward a ladder on the edge. I tread water a moment, admiring her naked body as she climbed out of the water. Her skin glistened.

  “Come on,” she said, giggling. “I’m cold.”

  I got out of the pool and ran after her as she went toward the house. Inside, she continued through the kitchen and up a set of stairs to the second floor.

  We left a trail of water on the floor as we went, but it was the furthest thing on our minds. At the top of the stairs, she stopped and turned.

  Unable to wait, I got to my knees on the carpeted last stair and buried my face between her legs. She grabbed my shoulders as I licked.

  “Tony…”

  The sound of my name on her lips got me so fucking hot. I stood and wrapped my hands around her. She kissed me, tasting her own juices.

  “Let’s go. This way.”

  I followed her, checking out that shapely, firm ass of hers. She glanced over her shoulder and smiled. Our eyes met. My blood pumped harder through my body.

  When we reached her bedroom, I glanced over to the window and saw a huge four-poster bed that must have set her back quite a bit of money.

  I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to ruin the moment, not with the taste of her special place still on my lips. At the bed, we stopped for another kiss.

  She crawled on the mattress and scooted backward, opening her legs. I followed, eyes on her, intent on sticking my dick in again until she came.

  Nestled between her legs, I slipped my cock into her wet, tight pussy. Bliss rocked my body. Even football fell away from my mind as I made her mine.

  She moaned, her movements full of grace and beauty as our bodies fell into a natural rhythm. In then out, I penetrated her completely, mind, body, and soul.

  “Tony…”

  “Yes, baby?” I breathed.

  “Fuck me harder. I love you so much.”

  I furrowed my brow as I plowed into her, pounding even faster.

  “Now slow,” she hissed, taking control with her voice.

  Her words were my commands. I relished the sensation of her pussy gripping my cock so tightly. She stared into my eyes, and we communicated without words.

  I pulled out, and she flipped over and got on her knees. Breasts pressed against the mattress, I saw her pert ass part, that beautiful pussy barely visible.

  She groaned loudly as I slipped into her with one quick thrust. I had to admit, the bed was comfortable, but nothing compared to my cock deep inside her.

  As my pace increased, I grabbed her ass cheeks, squeezing them. She bumped backward each time I thrust forward, our bodies once again finding a natural rhythm.

  The sound of our bodies slapping against each other mixed with both our moans flying through the air. I lost all sense of time and place, and I needed to see her face.

  Pulling out again after a few minutes, I laid on my back. She crawled atop me, reaching down to grab my dick, guide it back into her pussy so wet, lips swollen in passion.

  I pierced her as she settled down on top of my body. She placed her palms on my chest as her hips moved up and down, passionately fucking my cock.

  “Heidi,” I gasped, grabbing her breasts as they hung down.

  “Yes, baby. Come with me.”

  She sat up and arched her back. I kept my hands on her breasts, thrusting up and into her as she came down. About to orgasm, I stared into her green e
yes.

  They stared back into mine, our souls somehow merging for a split second as the rest of the world crashed down around us. I came into the condom.

  Her eyes squinted and her face scrunched up as she came, crying out in ecstasy. Our orgasms mixed together, crashing and foaming as our bodies floated back to earth.

  She fell forward, her breasts pressed against my chest as I struggled to catch my breath. I needed to be inside her forever, to never let her go no matter what.

  “I love you, Heidi,” I said.

  The words paled in comparison to the thoughts raging in my mind, but I was unable to convey them any better. She understood and smiled as she stared into my eyes.

  We rode the afterglow another minute, slowly drifting back down to the planet of mere mortals. Our cuddling lasted another few minutes. I did not want to let go.

  I thought briefly about bringing up all the money she’d been spending, but I pushed the thought aside, saving it for another day. Otherwise, I’d ruin the moment.

  “I love you, Tony.”

  She had taken a moment or two to respond, but I didn’t care. Our bodies had danced together and said the same with actions, not mere words.

  I craned my neck to kiss her on the lips. She kissed back, sliding her tongue into my mouth. Thoughts of fucking her every night for the rest of my life filled my mind.

  After another few minutes of smiling, kissing, and enjoying the moment, she climbed off me. We cleaned up together. Her shower was nicer than mine, but it didn’t matter.

  The only thing I cared about as we soaped each other up then rinsed off was figuring out a way to spend the rest of my life with her. Nothing else mattered. She had to be mine.

  TWENTY-TWO

  Tony

  When I woke the next morning, I found a text message from her on my phone. Her and my sister had gone shopping. What the hell does she need now?

  I wandered downstairs to her kitchen, starting a pot of coffee and checking the refrigerator for food. It was mostly empty except for milk. I found a box of Chex in the cupboard.

  Sitting at the marble countertop island in middle of her kitchen, I ate my cereal and drank coffee while thinking about the night before.

  Our relationship had taken another couple steps forward. The lottery money had changed her somehow. Would it drive us apart?

  After finishing breakfast, I went back upstairs to take a shower and wait for the two women to return. My sister and Heidi becoming friends worried me.

  Jamie had a history of poor financial decisions. She always asked to borrow money from me, which I hated to do because she was family.

  By the time I finished my shower and went downstairs, the two of them had returned. Bags filled the living room. Heidi looked up and smiled.

  “Hey, sunshine. You get my note.”

  “Yeah…”

  I glanced at Jamie.

  “Look what she bought me.” She held up a red dress. “And she got me shoes too.”

  “A woman can never have too many shoes,” Heidi said.

  Both of them laughed. It looked like Christmas morning with all the bags and paper everywhere.

  “Looks like you spent a lot of money,” I said.

  “Yeah? And?”

  Heidi stood up and walked over to me.

  “And it runs out. You should invest it.”

  “I talked to your money guy, remember? My money is already making money according to him.”

  “Yeah, but does he know you’re spending so much?”

  “I’m on a budget. Don’t be such a party-pooper.”

  “Yeah,” Jamie added from the couch.

  “All I’m saying is that it’s easy to spend until you don’t have anymore.”

  I looked directly at Jamie, not flinching. She turned away.

  “There something going on here that I don’t know about?” Heidi asked.

  “It’s a family thing,” I said simply.

  “Well, I’m part of the family now. Right?”

  She stared into my eyes.

  “Yeah, but…”

  “My brother can be a jerk,” Jamie interrupted.

  “Hey, that’s my man you’re talking about,” Heidi said.

  “Do you need a ride home, Jamie? I can call an Uber.”

  “Um, Heidi and I are going out again. We came back because the car was filled up.”

  I turned to face Heidi.

  “You’re going out again?”

  “Do you want to come along?”

  “Not really. I thought we could spend some time together today.”

  “We’ll spend time together tonight. I promise.”

  “Get a room you two,” Jamie said as Heidi kissed me.

  I took a deep breath, trying not to be too controlling or possessive.

  “Just keep your eyes on how much you’re spending.”

  “You worry too much,” Heidi said. “I’ll be fine.”

  “Just watch Jamie,” I whispered.

  “I heard that,” she said, standing up.

  “You have a history of bad financial decisions, Jamie. That’s all I’m saying.”

  “I’m a smart woman. I can handle myself,” Heidi said confidently. “You don’t need to protect me from her.”

  “I want to protect you from everyone.”

  “Aw. You’re so sweet. We’ll be back later.”

  I watched, stunned, as she and Jamie left the house to buy more crap.

  Was it my place to tell her how to spend her money? Did I want to be a relationship with a woman who spent so freely with no regard for the future? My wealth would become hers.

  After they left, I called Harris to see if he wanted to hang out. Heidi’s house was closer to the city than the small apartment she’d had. At least there was that.

  “Hey, bro. Long time no see or hear.”

  “Yeah, I’ve been busy,” I said. “What you got going on today?”

  “Not much until the season gets closer. Why?”

  “You want to hang out?”

  “Sure. Come on over. The party’s already started, but you’re welcome to join us.”

  “On my way.”

  I ended the call then went outside, ready to get away and think. Heidi had been on my mind way too much lately. I needed to get away from her and think clearly.

  * * *

  When I arrived at Harris’ house, I saw half-a-dozen cars in the driveway. The parties he had were legendary, but I wasn’t in the mood.

  The front door swung open as I approached. A half-dressed woman ran out, giggling. She passed me. A guy came out after he.

  I nodded my head at him then walked past and inside the house. Loud music played in the living room. Harris saw me and stood.

  He smiled as he walked over. I shut the door behind me and waited for him to arrive.

  “You’re letting it all hang out, aren’t you?” I asked.

  “Is there any other way? There’s this tight redhead I want to introduce you to.”

  “Nah, man. I’m not staying.”

  “What?”

  He grabbed me shoulder.

  “Yeah, I should get going.”

  “I thought you came to party.”

  “No, I was going to talk to you about this woman, but it’s all good.”

  “You still messing around with that stripper?”

  “She’s more than a stripper,” I snapped.

  He lifted his hands, palm out.

  “Calm down, bro.”

  I glanced around, seeing a couple women passed out on the couch. Johnny, one of the other players on our team, sat on the coffee table in front of them.

  “You doing okay?” he asked then turned and whistled, getting the attention of the women on the couch.

  “I’m fine,” I said. “But I should get going. I’ve not been home all day.”

  “Hold on.”

  The two women, one a redhead, sauntered over, leaning on each other and giggling. I had to admit they both looked fine as
fuck, but I wasn’t after just another fuck.

  “Ladies, this is Tony Cassano, quarterback for…”

  “I know who he is,” the redhead said, holding out her hand. “Nice to meet you, Tony.”

  “Hey,” I said as I shook her hand.

  She stepped forward while Harris and the other woman wandered further into the house.

  “It’s loud down here,” she said. “Want to go somewhere more quiet?”

  “No, I should be going.”

  “Come on,” she said, taking my hand. “It’ll be fun.”

  I let her lead me through the kitchen and into the laundry room. She hopped up on the dryer and spread her legs, showing me she had no panties on under her plaid mini-skirt.

  “You a football fan?” I asked, knowing I should leave before things got out of hand.

  “I’m a fan of yours.”

  Her sexy voice stopped me in my tracks, not to mention the flashes of her cleanly shaved pussy.

  “And Harris, right?”

  “He’s okay,” she said, not taking her eyes off me. “But I like you better.”

  “Yeah? You don’t even know me.”

  “But I want to know you. And I kinda know you from watching you play. It’s not like I want to get married or anything. I just wanna have fun tonight.”

  She curled her finger, beckoning me closer.

  I took a deep breath, trying to control the hormones rushing through my body.

  “Thanks, but it’s too early in the afternoon for me to drink and party.”

  “You don’t need to drink or do anything.” She hopped off the dryer. “Let me please you.”

  As she dropped to her knees, looking up at me, I stepped back.

  “You’re great and all, but I’m in a relationship.”

  “She doesn’t ever have to know.”

  I watched in amazement as she took off her top, exposing her breasts.

  Despite my best efforts, I glanced down at them. Fucking perfect.

  She crawled forward, reaching for my pants.

  If she touched me, I’d never be able to stop.

  “Thanks but no thanks,” I said, turning.
