Chapter Six

AJ rubbed the back of his neck as he drove back to the Bucks campus. He’d dropped the top again in hopes the chilly air would combat the heat that settled in his crotch when he kissed Sky. So far, no luck.

First dates were always a bit uncomfortable, but that dinner went way beyond the norm. Of course, usually first dates did not include other family members. That hurdle was generally left for later, after two people had some time to get to know each other. No doubt the rather animated discussion with her brothers didn’t increase his chances for future dates. For a few moments he’d thought he would strike out, but he’d managed to talk her into one more, which, hopefully, would go much better.

He parked at the Barracks, put the top up on the Mustang and headed to his room. There was a lounge area at the end of the hall with a mini-kitchen and a few tables where several guys were playing cards. He nodded on his way by but didn’t stop to chat. He heard music as he passed Cal’s door but didn’t want to talk about the evening’s fun and games with him, either. Cal would surely want to know about Kelly, and he had a sneaking suspicion that she and Mike could easily become a couple were it not for the distance problem. He wasn’t going to be the one to break that news to Cal.

Looking at his watch, he realized it was probably too late to call his mom and check in. He’d have to find time tomorrow.

Since sleep was out of the question after that kiss, which had his pants tightening to the point of pain, he changed into sweats and headed to the gym. The ever-present tension the tryouts kept simmering in his subconscious would have kept him awake anyway, but the first taste of Sky’s lips had pushed even that down a peg or two on his anxiety scale. The skin of her cheek was so soft, and the velvet brush of her lips on his tasted of lemons and wine. He wanted more of that. Much more.

Putting twenty-pound weights on the dumbbells, he did reps until his biceps screamed for mercy, then hit the power tower to work on his triceps, chest and abs. A half-hour run on the treadmill finally exhausted him enough to consider a shower and sleep.

Tomorrow, Coach Betz would be all over them again.

After tonight’s heated debate over the designated hitter rule, AJ planned to spend a lot of time in the batting cage. While that would no doubt make coach happy, AJ was driven even more knowing Sky’s brother Jed wanted to come down to see some games. A few doubles and maybe even a home run might wipe the sneer off the face of the scornful teenager. Hell, once the kid found out his name, as he surely would as soon as Sky did, the sneers and snickers would probably never stop.
