She’s not wrong. Nobody has ever worn my jersey while I fucked them. I’ve reserved that honor for her and only her.

And now it’s happening.

My hand caresses the soft skin of her ass cheek before giving it a firm smack. Isla lets out a sultry moan as I pull her hair away from the embroidered “Vaughn” across her shoulders and groan. My free hand goes to the waistband of my shorts and tugs them down. “Vaughn looks good on you, baby.” I notch the head of my cock at her entrance and push in a little.

“Yeah, you like it?” Isla moans again as I thrust in the rest of the way, jutting her forward. “You wanna look up in the stands and see me wearing your name?”

“Fuck,” I grunt, my hips smacking against her ass. She raises up on her toes to give me the perfect angle to hit her G-spot. Wrapping her hair around my fist from the base and tugging backwards, I force her to look at me. “I want to look in the stands and see you with our name on your back, knowing that you’re mine. You’re gonna be standing there with my baby in your belly, Isla.”

“Yes.” She holds onto the counter for dear life as I poundinto her. I grab hold of her thigh, spreading her leg wider and getting the perfect view of my cock sliding in and out of her.

“I know you want it, Isla. You want to be the mother of my babies, my wife. And since I’m such.”Thrust“A.”Thrust.“Good.”Thrust.“Fucking.”Thrust.“Brother.”Thrust.“I’m gonna give you what you want.”

ISLA

Soft kisses and the scruff from Kai’s chin grace the insides of my thighs as the early morning light passes through the curtains. A soft moan escapes my lips as the kisses inch closer to my pussy.

“Aren’t you tired yet?”

A legitimate question, because after last night and early this morning, I’m questioning my physical fitness. Exhausted doesn’t even cover the way my body feels right now.

“I’ll never be tired of tasting you, Isla. I need to get my fill of you now. The season starts on Tuesday and then I’ll be traveling all the time.”Lick.“Your classes are gonna start and we’ll only have the nights when I’m playing home games.”Kiss.

I didn’t think about when the season starts, how we’re going to be basically living two separate lives. Kai’s the hot professional baseball player and I’m just the college junior trying to get her life together.Why does the thought of being away from him hurt so much?

“Can we just cuddle for a little?” I ask, leaning my head back against the pillows. I’m sure the gods are shunning me for stopping Kai’s efforts.

His kisses stop and his head emerges from under the covers. “Of course.” Kai crawls up and flops on his side and pulls me into him. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m fine.”Lie.

My heart hurts.

“Liar. You still do that eyebrow thing when you lie.” He brushes the hair away from my forehead and smirks. “It’s cute that you’d think I’d forget.”

Perceptive asshole.

“Okay, maybe I’m a little sad.” I caress his face, brushing the long strands of his bangs back. “I wanted more time with just us.”

“Yeah, I know.” He leans in and kisses my forehead, then flings himself back against the pillows. “It’s shitty timing, but we’ll get through it.”

“Maybe I can take the time off from school? You know, and just travel with you for the season.” I want to take the words back immediately after I say them. Putting off school is not the solution, especially since I’ve worked so hard to be on track to graduate early.

“That’s not happening. I know you’ve wanted to be a child life specialist since you were sixteen. I won’t have you giving up your career for me.”

Kai used to listen to me drone on and on when we were younger about how I wanted to be a CLS and do my part in helping kids like me that had to be in the hospital. It was a terrifying experience and if I could make it easier for even one child, it would be worth it. He was so supportive, even then. Once he was in my life, he took their place when I had to be hospitalized.

“You remember that time when I had to stay at CHO for a few nights after I ate the sloppy joes from the cafeteria and they had soy in them. How the nurse came in and you were asleep inthe bed with me and she said we were a cute couple?” I chuckle and scoot as close as I can to him, burying my face in his chest.

“Oh yeah, and then you told her I was your stepbrother and you said she looked at you funny.”

“That look she gave me was priceless.”It really was.But what Kai doesn’t know is when he left to meet my dad downstairs to grab a bag of clothes for me, I told that nurse that I was in love with him. And I was so scared because I knew my dad would hate me and then hate Kai. She told me to listen to my heart and maybe just sit and talk with my dad, that he would understand.

I never did because I was too chicken.

Now I wish I had, because then Kai and I would have had all those years together.
