Two other players from our team had been asked to join the All-star team too.
Kace Jackson, our shortstop, and Mitch Sanders, a relief pitcher.
Us three had more press meetings, more media interviews, and more conference calls with the other players and coaches than I thought was possible. For the week leading up to the All-star break, we were constantly together and making arrangements for any needs we had.
All three of us were bringing someone with us, and those arrangements also had to be made; tickets, rooms, and field access. Kace was the only one that had done this before and he walked us through everything.
By the time the All-star break came around, I hadn’t seen much of Madison. The night we finished our list of conditions was the last night I saw her.
We weren’t really avoiding one another, I was legitimately busy.
We talked on the phone in short spurts, but nothing was ever really talked about.
I think after I laid out my intentions for our weekend, she was content on avoiding the subject until then. I let her know that I was taking her request seriously. I wasn’t going to treat her like any other person I had ever been with. She was going to get the best of me.
Everything I had.
Which is why the room we were staying in for the game was not where we would end up. On top of arranging the All-star game details, I arranged another set of details for afterward.
A surprise.
I booked a luxurious suite on the top floor of the Four Seasons, New York. It was larger than both our apartments combined with a 360-degree view of the city. Every part of the room overlooked New York—the bed, the bathtub, the dining area, the fucking piano.
It was the best I could find and more than anything Madison would expect. It may or may not have cost me a whole game salary just for two nights, but she was worth it.
I didn’t know how much of the suite we would possibly use. Apart from the bed, I had no major plans. But the best thing about the suite was we wouldn’t have to leave at all if we didn’t want to. And if things went south, there was enough room to find our own corners.
I had two nights of free time after the game. Our deal was for one night, one time. I don’t think Madison even thought we would stay together after we made love. But I wasn’t going to love her and leave her like a fucking sleazeball. Plus, I nipped any time apart from her the second she asked for a month away from me.
If she needed a month to make sure her feelings were separated, then I was going to take both days to spend time with her—whether we had sex more than once or not. Madison wasn’t someone I liked to spend too much time away from and it almost tore my body in half when she added that month-long stipulation. But I got it, I understood, and I would agree to whatever she needed.
She wouldn’t see my face for a month.

I had gotten a car service and was headed to pick up Madison at her place. All-star weekend was about to commence. We had a flight to New York in four hours and dinner plans with my fellow teammates and their “dates” once we got there.
I used the term date loosely because Kace was so much in love with his girlfriend, Ali, that it was beyond dating. Mitch was bringing a friend that he described as, “A date but maybe more but maybe not we will see.” His words. Madison and I weren’t dating at all.
Either way, “date” seemed like the best I could do.
I met Madison at her door and helped her with her bags to the waiting car. She was jumping up and down with excitement, and not for her impending v-card disposal, but for me. She was so excited for me. She was always my biggest fan.
We called our parents when we got in the car. One last call to them before we ditched our phones for the thrill of the weekend.
“You two have fun!” Her mom had said.
“You two be safe!” My mom had added.
And both our dads had told me to keep my dick in my pants. Since most people that we met thought Madison and I were a couple, it had become a joke for them to say it. But fuck if they didn’t realize how much that hit home this time.
Madison had water coming from her nose in her attempt to suppress her laugh after taking a sip at the wrong moment. I was not laughing, I was frozen in place. Fear of what we were about to do had crept into my veins. There was so much on the line. Our parents were best friends and trusted us to look out for one another.
Wait. I was looking out for her.I think everyone would agree that I was the best person for this job. Even if it wasn’t something we would ever mention to them—ever.
Ever.
Never.
