Six months later
“How’d you manage this, Hotshot?” I whisper as we sneak into the dimly lit bullpen at the Carolina Bulls arena. The only other light in the stadium is shining down like a spotlight from home plate to the pitcher’s mound.
“Well, ya know you’re on a date with a World Series Champ.” He winks cockily.
“Also, why are you whispering? We aren’t really sneaking in. I have permission.” He gives me that smugcome on, dudelook. “Again… I’m a champ now, baby.”
“Pshhh.” I shake my head, smirking at him. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you sound so full of yourself. Not even your fifteen-year-old self was this bad,” I say, shoving him, but in all reality, watching him and the Bulls win it all last month was one of the most epic experiences of my life.
His freshly tattooed hand reaches out, pulling me into him. “I’m just messing, baby. Plus, the second half of our date night is all for you. I know how much you’ve been wanting to relive a certain pastime.” He waggles his eyebrows at me, reminding me of the first time he brought me to the stadium at the end of his rookie season.
“All joking aside, you understand how proud I am of you, right?” I say, turning so we are face to face.
His smile softens as he looks at me. Those blue-grey eyes shine down at me with nothing but love.
“I know, Queenie.” Eli places a soft kiss on my lips.
“You’ve always been such an inspiration to me, and I have no doubt our girls are going to grow up to be extremely proud of you. Not only because their dad is the best relief pitcher in professional baseball, but because of the man you are without that uniform on too.” I place my hand over his beating heart.
“What you did for Gemma and Tanner, Eli…” I take a second, not wanting to lose control over my emotions. “I swore I thought I couldn’t love you more, but you never cease to amaze me.”
Gemma and her son recently moved to North Carolina. She inherited a home from her late grandmother a few hours from us in Mountain Ridge. She was trying to find a second job so that she could send Tanner to the private school everyone in the area raves about. They drove down for the weekend yesterday, and she insisted that Eli and I take a night out for ourselves—hence our date night. While all of us were hanging out on the back patio, she received a phone call from the private school that his tuition had been paid through graduation. And the minute she told me, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that was all Eli Barton’s doing. That sweet man of mine… the one I had shared Gemma’s struggles with just a few days prior.
“It was the least I could do for her after what she did for you and our baby. Gemma being there for you and her continued friendship is worth much more than any money I could ever give, but I knew this would help them. I was happy to do it.”
Our baby.
“Thank you,” I whisper, placing a kiss on his broad chest. “You have the biggest heart, E.”
His hand comes to my chin, and I see the new queen of hearts playing card etched in black ink, starting at his wrist and going on to the top of his hand as he tips my face up.
Just the sight of the symbolic tattoo has my heart rate increasing…it's so damn sexy.
He moves his hand around my neck, and my mouth opens for him on instinct. His lips catching my own, his tongue sends a thrill through my body as he pulls me closer.
Eli leans back, but I bite his lip. He stares down at me, his bottom lip still between my teeth. The look he must see reflected in my eyes has him pushing me back into a dark alcove in the bullpen.
I unbutton my jeans, shoving them off and tossing them to the other end of the bench. There’s no doubt in my mind where this is about to go. I sit on his lap, unbuckling his pants, before he starts kissing me again. Each kiss is more passionate than the one before, burning with excitement about what’s next.
“Let me see how wet my greedy girl is for me?” he says, guiding his hand into my hot pink thong.
“Yes, please,” I whimper as his fingers make contact, dragging the wetness through my folds.
“Fuck, Q… so ready.” Moving his fingers in and out of me, I take my hand off the bench behind us and run my thumb across the precum on the head of his cock. It's thick and ready, laying against his stomach.
“You going to let me put my cock in you, baby? Right here, right now?”
I nod, lifting off his lap, ripping my thong down my legs, never taking my eyes off him. The way his hard dick bounces off his stomach when he finishes taking his boxers off sends goosebumps all over my body.
I lower myself, rubbing my wetness up and down his thick shaft, pressing my clit into the head.
“Fuck, that feels so good,” I moan, sliding up and down one more time before Eli pushes up into me. I gasp in relief… relief that only the fullness of Eli can give me.
Both his hands find my hips, guiding me up and down his dick. “Ride me, baby,” he commands, trailing his hand up my shirt and pulling down my bra. I grind harder onto him, burying my face in his neck as I chase my orgasm. Licking up his neck, I move my lips to his ear, “I’m about to come all over your cock, E.” The deep groan he lets out from my words has my spine tingling.
He shifts his hips up, meeting me thrust for thrust, and I grind my clit down onto him. Getting myself so close to the edge, I stop and move from my knees to my feet. Allowing us both the perfect view. “Oh, fuck,” Eli hisses before he pulls my shirt over my head and unsnaps my bra, letting it fall to the turf behind us.
