Ballers with Benefits (Double Play Series Book 3)

by Nicole Rodrigues

  “Oh Damon,” I squeak out.

  My nails dig into his ass on the last wave and he takes his hands out from under me, lifting my body to my knees. He pulls out of me, dragging his wet cock to my ass, coating me, getting me ready for him.

  “Relax for me,” he says moving his shaft around my hole.

  I look over my shoulder behind me and watch him lick two fingers, pushing one inside slowly and then the second. I feel my body tighten around him, but he moves a finger down to my clit, forcing my ass to relax.

  “Almost there angel, just relax.”

  It doesn’t hurt like I’ve heard it does, it feels...good. Weird but good and I want to feel all of him.

  He takes his fingers out, reaching over to the nightstand for a condom and I grab his hand.

  “Don’t,” I whisper. “I wanna feel you.”

  “Are you sure?”

  “Another first,” I smile.

  He smiles too, moving back to my ass and slowly I feel his head push against me.

  “You guide me Bella. Tell me what you’re feeling.”

  I nod as he pushes a little further and I feel my body tense but then relax when he pushes a little further in.

  “Oh God.” I moan.

  Shit that feels good. I feel him slide further and further into me and I grip the sheets, trying to ground myself, trying to push down my orgasm. I feel it building, trying to break free but not yet.

  “I’m in angel. You okay?”

  “Yes. Go baby, please. I need you to move.”

  If he catches my ‘baby’ slip he ignores it as his hands grip the meat of my ass. He slowly starts to move in and out of me, pulling me back towards him, again and again. I feel myself clench around nothing and I move my hand down, pushing a finger inside me and I moan. Being filled in two places is another first and I feel my orgasm barreling towards me and I can’t stop it this time.

  “Fuck angel, I’m not gonna last. Look at you, taking what you want. Make yourself come Bella,” he growls.

  He smacks my ass and then grabs my cheeks again, pounding into me a little harder and my finger moves frantically in and out of me, keeping in rhythm with him.

  “Ohhh...ohhhh...my God Damon...my God!”

  I hear Damon moan behind me as I lose myself and am pushed over the peak of satisfaction. He tenses inside me and the feeling of him emptying in my ass is my undoing. My body clenches around my finger and I slow down my movements as my legs relax and I catch my breath.

  Damon pulls out of me slowly and I wince. He collapses next to me in bed and puts his hand on my cheek.

  “Are you okay? I wasn’t too rough, was I?” he asks rubbing my cheek.

  “You were perfect, so damn perfect. My God, I’m not going to be able to workout tomorrow,” I laugh. “Thank you for that, for another first. I don’t think I would have ever trusted anyone to try that with,” I say leaning up, putting my chin on his chest.

  I shyly play with his chest hair and he sits up, kissing me softly on my lips. I taste myself on his tongue and I swear I’m ready to go again.

  How can one person hold this much power over my body. I am no longer in control of it, it is completely under Damon’s spell.

  “Wanna take a bath?” Damon whispers.

  “I don't think I can move,” I whisper back.

  “I'll carry you. Come.”

  He gets out of bed and walks around to the other side. He lifts me in his arms and I rest my head on his bare chest, wrapping my arms around his neck. We walk towards the balcony and I turn my head towards him, confused.

  “Isn't the bathroom that way?” I ask nodding towards the hallway.

  “The tub on the balcony.”

  He opens the balcony doors and around the other side of the balcony is a huge white tub overlooking the ocean. He drops me to my feet as he turns the faucet on and adds a bottle of bubbles.

  “Lord have mercy, Damon Johnson. You're makin’ me swoon.”

  I smile at him crossing my arms over my chest and he looks up winking.

  “Finally. Thought I was the only one falling over here.”

  He smirks as he turns back to the bath testing the temperature. I walk over running a finger down his spine and kiss his shoulder.

  “Thank you for all this. It was an amazin’ surprise.”

  “I like that smile on your face. I plan to keep it there.”

  He puts his hand up for me to take and I step inside the tub, my muscles and body immediately relaxing.

  “Mmm this feels good.”

  “Gimme one sec. I have another surprise.”

  He walks around the other side of the balcony, the muscles in his thick ass constricting with each step. He comes back into view with a small barrel and some wood.

  “What is that?”

  “Fire pit. I know it’s not real camping but its camping in style,” he smirks.

  He puts the barrel down and lines the wood into a teepee like formation. He takes a small cube from the side table and a match, striking it and throwing both under the wood.

  I see the orange flame start to grow, reaching the bottom of the wood and I inhale.

  “I can't believe you remember that, I can't believe you did this.”

  I sink lower in the tub hiding my smile and watch Damon's muscled laced body slowly enter the tub, his tan skin glistening with sweat.

  “Like I said, I love that smile. Plus, what kind of guy what I be if I just bore you to death with dinner reservations all the time. Could have easily made one tonight but this is more fun, no?”

  I remember my aunt’s words like they were just yesterday.

  A man who puts in 100% effort and doesn't just half ass it, that's the man you want to walk down the aisle to.

  I move closer to Damon, floating onto his lap and giving him a quick kiss.

  “This is a lot more fun and so much better than borin’ dinner reservations,” I whisper.

  He smiles kissing me back, turning me around so my back is against his chest. His lips come down on my shoulder, his arms wrap around my waist and I close my eyes, drinking in the bliss that seeps into my body anytime I'm near this man. He is the real deal. My body knows it, my heart knows it, I just wish he did.

  “Tell me about you. I feel like we don't get to do much talkin’,” I say, rubbing a hand down his strong forearm, pushing down my need to tell him how much my feelings have grown for him.

  “Hmm okay. Well I grew up in a tiny town in Indiana. Both my parents worked two jobs. My mother was a cashier at the local supermarket during the day and waitress at night. Dad was a mechanic for a local body shop and unloaded shipment at a warehouse at night. They took turns on their night shifts or Maxwell stepped in.”

  “How much older than you is he?”

  “He’s thirty and Nico is twenty four. We always joke that Nico was the slip. They kept me and Max close in age but along comes crazy Nico, four years later,” he laughs. “They had their hands full already raising and feeding two mouths, I don't think they planned on three. Nico gets so pissed when we rag on him.”

  “Y'all are the worst!” I say pinching his thigh.

  “Mom denies it to this day. Says she always wanted three boys and she's happy God gave them to her.”

  “Mamas and their boys. My mama’s the same with Devin, then I guess daddy's and their girls are the same way.”

  “You close with your dad? I mean after not having him in your life all those years, must be weird having him in your life now.”

  His fingers are running up and down my ribs and I lean my head back on his chest, looking up at the sky.

  “Honestly it's really not. I felt an instant connection to him when we met. We meet for coffee every week, or as often as we can when I'm back in Louisiana and we have an easy relationship. Sometimes though...somethin’ will get brought up about my childhood and he gets quiet. He carries around a lot of guilt, my mama does too. He caters to my little sister like she's the Queen of England because of it I think,�
�� I laugh. “It sucks how it happened but the two of them are happy now, that’s all that matters.”

  “What about you Bella, you happy?” he whispers.

  I can hear the smile in his voice and nod.

  “Well I got a great family, two great jobs, a handsome man warmin’ my bed...”

  He laughs rubbing his hand down my arm.

  “That all I'm doin’? Warming your bed?”

  We're quiet for a minute. The air between us changing. I know he feels it too.

  “I'm happy Damon,” I whisper.

  “Good. Then I'm doing my job.”

  “Look at you, tryin’ to take all the credit for my happiness. This smile ain’t all about you, big guy,” I laugh.

  “Well you’re the reason for mine, Bella June.”

  “Oh I know you didn’t just Bella June me. You Mr. Johnson ain’t playin’ fair.”

  I shake my head and look up at the sky again.

  “See that, right over there? The bright star?” I say pointing up at the sky.

  “What about it?”

  “Whenever we went campin’ we always played this game. We’d look at the stars and say what they looked like. Devin always tried to say somethin’ dirty and my mama would get all pissed,” I say laughing.

  “Your mom’s funny. I hear her and your dad goin’ at it sometimes in the office.”

  “Oh God I don’t wanna hear about that.”

  “Not like that,” he says laughing. “I mean she’s feisty. Your dad has got his hands full, just like Jackson. You have a lot of firecracker women in your family, now I know where you get it.”

  “Damn right Johnson, you better watch your back.”

  “That one right there. What were you gonna say it is? On the count of three,” he says beginning to count.

  Damon says “dildo” the same time I say “cloud”.

  We both laugh out loud and I shake my head.

  “Dildo! Really?” I say turning my body to face him.

  “Your puffy clouds are my balls,” he says shrugging his shoulders.

  “You’re a clown,” I say poking his nose.

  He grabs my hand, biting the tip of my finger. I laugh and pull it back.

  “What's on the agenda tomorrow? You have some big extravagant plans for me?”

  “You scared of anything Ms. Gavinwood?”

  “Uh oh, I don't think I like the sound of this. I mean I don’t like bugs or snakes or mice, so I guess just no rodents or bugs. Why?” I ask skeptically.

  “So that's it, not scared of anything else?”

  I briefly want to say scared of getting my heart broken, but I refrain.

  “Nothin’ else,” I say instead giving him a small smile.

  “Okay then. I got big plans for you tomorrow hot shot. It's gonna blow your mind.”

  Chapter 15

  Damon

  I roll over in bed and feel cold sheets. Opening my eyes, I look up and around the room reaching over to my nightstand and check my phone.

  8:30.

  I briefly remember Bella telling me she had practice early this morning and I look up and notice a note on the pillow.

  Dirty Damon,

  My body felt like I got hit by a mack truck this mornin’ but every second was worth it. Can’t wait for more cherry poppin’ today! ;)

  X

  Bella

  I smile and grab my phone, texting her to meet me back at my room at noon. She has no idea what she is in for today.

  “Damon Johnson, when you said you were gonna blow my mind today, I didn’t think you meant from 12,000 feet in the air!” Bella yells.

  I smile and kiss her quick on her lips.

  “15,000 actually. You’ll be fine angel. You have wings, remember?”

  “Yes, when I plummet to my death and if Jesus lets me through those pearly gates, sure! Oh my gosh, you’re crazy, I can’t do this Damon!”

  I laugh and kiss her again, the adrenaline pumping through my veins.

  “Another first, right? I thought you said you were only scared of rodents and bugs,” I say cupping her cheek.

  “I didn't know this was an option! I’m petrified Damon. There's a reason this is a first, I never planned on jumpin’ out of a perfectly fuckin’ good airplane!”

  “Look down angel, look at how beautiful this is. We’re gonna land on the beach, how many people can say they skydived in Mexico?”

  “Probably not many because they aren’t nuts!”

  I laugh and kiss her again.

  “Oh God, oh God, oh God. I swear Damon if I die, I will haunt your ass until the end of time, and if you die too, I’ll chase around your ghost and kick the shit out of him!”

  “We got this Bella. Nothing is gonna happen to you angel.”

  “You don’t know that!”

  “You both ready?” asks one of the jumpers.

  “No!”

  “Yes!”

  Bella and I answer at the same time.

  I laugh and press my lips to hers softly, touching our foreheads.

  “Take a chance Bella. It’s all part of the adventure. Don’t jump if you don’t want. I’ll kiss you at the bottom either way.”

  I kiss her again and motion for the jumper to hook me up. He attaches us together and the first two instructors jump out of the plane. I watch as they freefall and wonder what the fuck I am doing. I wanted something different that the both of us can experience together, but this is crazy! Bella makes me crazy.

  I move my goggles down to cover my eyes and give Bella the thumbs up. She gives me a half smile as the jumper and I move closer to the open door.

  “Wait!” I hear Bella yell.

  I look over and she motions for her instructor to hook her up.

  “I’m doin’ this, let’s do this,” she says nodding.

  I watch Bella drop her goggles over her eyes and our instructors give each other the thumbs up. I squeeze Bella’s hand as we both dangle from the edge of the plane and then we jump, falling through the air as the wind rushes up in my face and I can’t catch my breath.

  All my senses are in overdrive and I feel a bliss I didn’t think I would feel. The air smells fresh from up here, a crisp spring day but stronger. I hear the rush of wind in my ears, like the slow motion sound you hear when jumping underwater in a pool.

  It’s cooler up here like opening the freezer on a hot day and the pressure of the air keeps my arms and legs afloat, like sticking your arm out of a car on the highway.

  I look over to the side and although they’re a little far from us, I see Bella’s mouth open, no doubt trying to scream.

  I start laughing because there really is nothing else I can do and just as I was getting used to the feeling of flying, the parachute is deployed.

  We are floating in the air, the world is quiet around us, the calm after a storm and I look out at the scenery; the ocean, the strip of hotels, as my breathing comes back to semi normal.

  Looking over towards Bella I see her floating with their parachute open and a weight is lifted off my shoulders as we descend.

  We’re both safe, thank the fucking Lord. God knows her father is probably going to kill me for that tattoo, but skydiving is going to be a whole different beast.

  I enjoy the floating sensation and see our approach to the beach. Jumping out of that airplane felt a lot like what I feel when I'm with Bella. I know this thing between us is more than just physical, but my ego in the back of my mind warns me about showing weakness to women. Bella isn't Brynn, not even close.

  I see the beach approach and my feet on the sand is refreshing.

  “That was a fucking rush,” I say as we land.

  “Can’t believe your girl did it, good for her,” the instructor says giving me a high five.

  “Thanks man! I appreciate it! Tip for you guys is back at the stop. Had to make sure we survived. Girl at the front desk should have it. Again, thanks man for getting us down safely.”

  “No problem, thank you. Enjoy the rest of
your stay here.”

  He unbuckles us and I turn around just in time to see Bella barreling towards me, jumping up into my arms.
