Chapter Fourteen

After making love and finally pulling themselves out of the bedroom, Angie’s shoe tapped against the hardwood floor in the living room. Gary leaned back on the couch and clasped his hands behind his head. He hoped his relaxed pose hid the worry he tried so hard to hide.

He’d finally done it. He’d slept with the woman of his dreams, he’d sealed his heart, he’d stamped his woman with a tattoo across her ass and claimed her. His chest warmed and he wanted to throw back his head and laugh himself insane. He finally had everything he’d ever wanted, and despite his life spiraling out of control, a huge part of him wanted to celebrate.

Making love to Angie was better than he’d imagined all these years. He no longer believed he was falling in love with her, he was positive he loved her. Two people couldn’t have that kind of reaction to each other and claim it was anything short of destiny.

He only wished someone would tell him what he was supposed to do next.

“We’ll explain what happened,” Angie said.

He shook his head. “Rules are rules. They don’t give a damn that our feelings are real or that we’ve known each other forever. You’re an employee, I’m a player, and the two don’t mix. So far, they haven’t found out you’re staying with me, but someone is going to notice you get in my car after every practice. It’s only a matter of time.”

“It’s unfair.” She crossed her arms and paced in front of him. “There’s got to be a way around everything.”

“We’ll wait until the season is over, and then decide how we’ll approach everyone. Your contract must be renewed every year, right?”

She shook her head. “Two years. I took a hundred dollars a month cut to guarantee two years, thinking I was doing the right thing to secure employment.”

“Ang…” He closed his eyes a moment, thinking twenty-four months of hiding their relationship—or worse, not seeing her—would kill him.

“Sorry.” She walked into the kitchen, removed a pop from the fridge, and returned to the living room. “I didn’t know at the time that we’d get together or—”

“I know.” He leaned forward and put his elbows on his knees. “We’ll play it cool. When you’re around the team, you don’t look at me, speak to me, or touch me.”

“That sucks.” She approached him until he leaned back, and then she climbed up on his lap. “What about riding together to practice and later to the stadium or the airport?”

“We’ll stick with the story that you’re a family friend who is staying with me until a condominium opens up near me. That's what you wrote on your employment paperwork. The HR department probably won’t question it, and the players will never find out.” He put his hands on her hips and dragged her forward.

She held her can up in the air to keep from spilling her pop. “No, I’m an awful liar. All they have to do is ask me, and they’ll know we’re having sex.
