Three and Out

by Meghan Quinn

  “Damn, Hannah…”

  Her only response was a moan as he moved his fingers in and out of her. He loved the way she felt, the way she was so wet for him, but touching her wasn’t enough; he needed to be inside of her.

  Ryker removed his hands, making her moan out in frustration and turn around. That was when he was rewarded with a frontal view of her perfect breasts that were a little red from his squeezing.

  He cupped her breasts, and in a concerned voice asked, “Did I hurt you?”

  “No,” she said quickly “but if you don’t finish what you started, you’re going to get hurt.” She grabbed his pants and started unbuckling his belt. He wasn’t going to stop her, so while she worked on his pants, he took his shirt off. In seconds, he found himself only in a pair of boxer briefs, with Hannah’s fingers playing with the waistband.

  “Go ahead, take them off,” he whispered to her.

  Her innocent eyes glanced up at him and then she bent down and stripped him of all his clothing. He was very comfortable in his skin, so the once-over Hannah gave him had no effect on him. It wasn’t until her small hands wrapped around his erection that he started to shake.

  “Do you like this?” she asked innocently, as she stroked him with one hand and cupped his balls with the other.

  Clearing his throat, he said, “Uh, yeah, but I’m going to have to stop you there, boo. I need to be inside of you…now.”

  He grabbed her hands, pushed her back on the bed, tore her thong off and looked down at the naked beauty that lay before him. She was perfect, absolutely perfect.

  “You’re so beautiful, Hannah. I hope you know that.”

  “You make me feel beautiful, Ryker.”

  That was all he needed. He reached down into his pocket, grabbed a condom from his wallet that was there in case a moment like this finally occurred, and he slipped it over himself. Hannah lay on the bed, waiting for him to return.

  He positioned his body over hers, and brought his erection to her entrance. Slowly, as he kissed her mouth with his, he entered her warm heat. He could feel the veins in his neck pop out from trying to contain himself. It took a lot of self-control not to quickly bury himself inside of her and take what he wanted so desperately.

  Hannah wrapped her legs around his waist and threw her head back as he fully inserted himself. Through clenched teeth, Ryker blew out a breath that felt like he’d been holding onto for hours. This was it, he was finally with Hannah in the most intimate way possible, and he didn’t want to leave. Just like he thought, Hannah was heaven.

  “Please, Ryker…” she begged, as she started to move her hips.

  “I want to savor this, boo.”

  Hannah gripped the sides of Ryker’s face and looked him square in the eyes. “I do too, but savor it while you pump into me.”

  Her comment was a little brash for her, and all it did was turn him on more. Job well done, he thought, as he started to move in and out of her. Not knowing what to expect from being with Hannah, Ryker soaked everything in. One thing he didn’t think he would hear was Hannah calling out his name and being very vocal as he moved in and out of her. It was genuine though, nothing fake about the way she mewed into his ear as he bent down to kiss her neck, or the way she breathed out his name when he took her breast in his mouth, or the way her jaw clenched when his hand made it down to her clit. She was natural and raw and perfect.

  “Oh…Ryker!” Hannah tensed up around him and came. Her head flew back and her hips met each thrust of his as she called out his name in ecstasy. The scene of Hannah losing herself pushed Ryker right over the edge as his balls tightened and his hips thrust into her one last time before he pumped himself into orgasm.

  “God damn…” Ryker groaned out, as he finished off and lay spent across Hannah. Quickly cleaning himself up, he wrapped Hannah up into his chest and held onto her tightly as they both tried to catch their breath. Her hand lay flat against his bare chest and lightly drew circles on him.

  She nuzzled his shoulder and said, “I like you a lot, Ryker.”

  “I like you too, Hannah.”

  “Thank you for accepting me, even after everything.”

  “Shh…” Ryker cooed. “Remember, that’s over with? We are only living in the here and now.”

  “Was I good enough for you?” Hannah asked.

  “You were better than I could have ever imagined, boo. You’re everything I have always dreamed of; don’t ever forget that. You’re everything to me.”

  Chapter Thirteen

  **Ashlin**

  Ashlin gradually picked at her salad as she watched Jesse devour the burger that was in front of him. She was dying for a taste, just for a small bite of the massive burger being shoveled down Jesse’s throat.

  He caught her staring and sat straight up in his chair, abandoning his hunched over position where he was easily able to chow down on his food.

  “Everything okay with your salad?” he asked, as he wiped his mustard-covered mouth with his napkin.

  “No, I hate salad.”

  Confusion displayed on Jesse’s face as he asked, “Then why did you get a salad?”

  Ashlin gave him a “duh” look as she said, “I have a photo shoot next week where I’m wearing a string bikini. I can’t have the luxury of shoving a burger and fries down my face.”

  The corner of Jesse’s mouth quirked as he picked up his burger and said, right before he took a huge bite, “So you can’t enjoy this burger like me?”

  She watched in jealousy as Jesse chowed down on his burger.

  “You’re an ass,” she said jokingly.

  “Live a little,” Jesse said, as he offered over his burger for a bite. “There’s Photoshop for a reason.”

  Ashlin snatched the burger away and said, “I’m a little offended that you think they need to use Photoshop on me.”

  Apparently, Jesse didn’t think before he spoke, because he started backpedaling. “No, that’s not what I meant…”

  “Cool it, QB, I’m just teasing.” She took a big bite of his burger and marveled at the flavors that were bursting in her mouth. “You’re not getting this back,” she said, as she pushed her salad toward him.

  He looked at the greens and shrugged his shoulders. “I guess I need some fiber.” Ashlin raised an eyebrow at him. “You know, just in a general kind of nutrition way, not that I’m backed up or anything.”

  Ashlin held up her hand. “I’m going to stop you right there. I know you want to be friends, but that’s too much.”

  He smiled and they both ate their food in comfortable silence. Once they’d finished, Jesse leaned back in his seat, and said, “So, tell me about growing up with Ryker.”

  Ever since they’d gotten to the restaurant, Jesse had been asking questions about her childhood, showing a great deal of interest in her, and she had to give the boy credit, she was having a good time talking about herself, reliving the good memories in her life.

  “He was a little puke,” Ashlin laughed, and so did Jesse.

  “I can see that.”

  “He was my best friend. We did everything together, and we were the reason each other didn’t drown in the shitty lives we were living. Not many kids at school thought it was cool that we lived in a trailer park, so we got teased most of the time. Ryker was always there to defend us, though, and we had our fun getting back at some of the bullies. We pelted them with eggs from behind bushes, and Ryker used to steal their clothes from the locker rooms and I would replace them with the clothes of bitchy girls from school…a little clothes swap. We got them back, even though they didn’t know it was us…we still got them back.”

  “It seems like you guys had a really good time.”

  “We did,” Ashlin thought back to her childhood. There were good times and bad times. Mostly, the good times revolved around Ryker. She got quiet as she thought about the last time she saw Ryker before she was taken away from him, away from everything she ever knew.

  “Hey,” Jesse nudged her from
under the table. “Why are you so quiet?”

  Shaking her head, she said, “Nothing. Don’t you have practice?”

  “Not for another half hour. Talk to me, why did you get so quiet?”

  She couldn’t tell Jesse he came from a different breed than she did. She didn’t grow up in a perfect family where family members showed love to one another every day. She grew up in a family environment where her dad beat her mom almost nightly and, one day, finally killed her. Jesse wouldn’t understand, hell, she didn’t understand herself. The only person who knew was Ryker, and she knew she could trust him with that information.

  “Don’t worry about it. Listen, this was fun but I have to get going.” Ashlin got up from her seat and grabbed her purse. Jesse laid down some money on the table and quickly followed her outside.

  They walked to her car and stopped in front of the door as she dug in her purse for her keys. Her hand was stilled by Jesse’s and her face was lifted to meet his eyes.

  He smiled down at her and said, “I get it, you don’t want to share just yet. That’s fine, but just so you know, I’ll always be here for you when you’re ready to talk. I’m not going anywhere.” Ashlin exhaled, not out of frustration, but more of relief. She didn’t want Jesse going anywhere, oddly enough. She didn’t want to become attached, but she didn’t want him to leave either. He was different than any guy she had ever met, even Ryker. He was sensitive, sweet, and caring…all things she craved in her life.

  “Now, I’m going to let you leave because I have to run back to my house before I head back to the stadium, but how about a date at the zoo on Friday? Bring some glasses, a hat, and a wig; we’re going incognito,” he winked, as he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. “I’ll text you the details later. Have a good day, Ashlin.”

  Jesse pulled away and walked toward his car. She couldn’t help but stare at the handsome man as he walked away. Everything about him was mouth-watering good, and what was most important was the fact that he actually seemed like he cared about her, and that went further than any built body in the world.

  **Mason**

  He unlocked the door and was happy to see that his new furniture was all in place amongst the boxes of his personal items. He took in his new dwelling, and was excited to start a brand new chapter in his life; this go-around, he hoped Piper stuck by his side.

  He crutched to the side, and turned around to see Piper’s reaction to his new place. He was able to purchase a condo on the west side of downtown Denver that gave him a picturesque view of the Rocky Mountains. The condo itself was modern, but also had a Colorado-esque feel with the oak-colored hardwood floors and cabinets, plus the exposed beams in the ceiling. He was happy with his purchase, but for some reason, he wanted Piper to be happy as well.

  Stepping back, he watched Piper take in his new digs. She walked up to the window that was wrapped around his living room, showing off the great view of the Rockies. He crutched up behind her and said, “What do you think?”

  “It’s unbelievable, Mason. This place must have cost a fortune just because of the view.”

  “Don’t worry, babe, I can afford it.” He pinched her butt, making her squeal, and started crutching toward the kitchen, where he hoped there was a beer chilling for him.

  He opened the fridge and was happy to see a fridge stocked full of food.

  “Does someone have an assistant up here I don’t know about?” Piper asked, as she grabbed a beer from the fridge as well.

  “Not really, just hired some people temporarily to make things easier for me. Do you want to see the rest of the place?”

  “Sure, I’ll hold your beer for you.”

  They walked around Mason’s condo as he showed her where his office would be where he would keep all his memorabilia. He showed her the game room, where there was a pool table already set up, eliciting past memories of them together, and then he took her to his bedroom. The bed he ordered looked much bigger in person, but he loved it. The headboard and footboard would be perfect for when he was ready to strap Piper down and take what he wanted.

  “This place is amazing, Mace. I’m really excited for you.”

  “Thanks. Will you help me unpack and decorate? I’m not really good with that kind of stuff.”

  Piper laughed, “And you think I am? I barely know how to hang curtains.” Mason gave her a “please” look, and she continued, “But I will try my best. It should be fun.”

  “That’s what I like to hear.” Mason pulled her into his chest and kissed the top of her head. “I’m really glad you’re here, Piper. I know we have a lot to work on, but I’m happy we’re trying.”

  “Me too, Mace,” she said as she held onto him.

  Mason cleared his throat and said, “I do have something awkward to talk to you about.”

  Piper pulled away and said, “Okaaay.”

  “Come here.” Mason pulled her onto his bed, so they were both sitting and facing each other. He hated standing on his crutches for long periods of time, plus he felt like a douche with them, so he would rather sit. “Sleeping arrangements…”

  Piper looked around, and said, “I think this bed is plenty big for the both of us, buddy.”

  Mason slightly winced. “That’s the thing; I think we need to sleep separately for now.”

  Mason wished he could have taken a picture of the look of shock that crossed Piper’s face; it was kind of comical.

  “What do you mean…separately?” The look of heartache that crossed Piper’s face hit Mason in the stomach.

  “Don’t get upset,” Mason said quickly. “I really want this to work between us, and I know that last time, well, we kind of let the physical part get in the way…”

  “You had a huge part in that,” Piper accused.

  “I know, that’s why I’m trying to rectify that. Believe me when I say I want nothing more than to strip you down and make love to your entire body. I want to fuck you more than anything, taste that sweet pussy of yours, and have your hands wrapped around my cock, but I know that won’t do anything to build our relationship.”

  “It will help ease the tension,” Piper said, as she scooted closer to him and placed her hand on his thigh.

  Mason cleared his throat and tore his gaze away from her hand. “It would ease the tension, but I don’t want to get things mixed up.”

  “It won’t get mixed up if we’re careful,” Piper said, as she moved even closer and leaned forward, showing off her cleavage and making Mason’s mouth water. Piper, by far, was the best sex he had ever had, and the enticing package she was showing him right now was extremely hard to resist.

  Licking his lips, he took a long glance down her shirt. Her breasts weren’t very big, but they were just big enough to drive a man crazy. Her hand ran up his thigh and cupped him through his jeans. A smile spread across her face when she realized he was hard. How could he not be? Piper was sitting next to him; she made him hard whenever she was in the room.

  “There’s nothing wrong with a little touching, Mason.” She straddled his lap and pushed his back against the mattress.

  Slowly, Mason was losing his self-control as Piper started to move her hips on top of his. In his head, he knew what she was doing needed to be stopped, but at the moment, his head wasn’t making the decisions…especially since it had been so long since he’d been with Piper.

  She leaned forward and placed her hands on either side of his head, giving Mason a clear shot down her shirt. The memory of taking her breasts into his mouth ran through his head as he stared at them, while her hips slowly continued to move on top of his. Her center was rubbing him just the right way, which had him squirming in his shorts. He never let a woman take control, ever, but right now, he was enjoying the way Piper was owning him.

  Her mouth came down to his and was mere inches from taking his lips when his phone started to ring in his pocket. Mason rolled to the side, breathing heavily, and pulled out his phone, leaving Piper with a confused look on her face.

 
; He ran his hand through his hair and answered his phone. “Hello?”

  “Hey, man. It’s Jake. Did you get in alright?”

  Mason blew out a frustrated breath, but then thought how grateful he was that Jake had piss-poor timing. The little vixen next to him was going to need some taming.

  “Yes, got in fine. Thanks for checking in, Mom.” Piper looked over at him and mouthed, “Jake?” Mason nodded his head. She smiled and pressed herself back down on the bed, stretching out her gorgeous body. Mason turned away, so he wasn’t tempted to touch her.

  “Good to hear, how’s the new place?”

  “You know you’re going to be here soon, right? We play your sorry ass on Sunday. You can just see the place on Saturday.”

  “I know, but I just wanted to make sure everything was alright…you know.”

  “Jake, I love you man, but you have to let up a little. I can handle my life.”

  “I know you can. It’s just, you and Lexi are the only family I have. I want to make sure you’re okay.” Jake had lost his parents his freshman year in college, and Mason took him in when he had nowhere else to go, so they really were family. They were brothers, and over the years, Mason grew used to Jake’s mothering, but right now, when Mason was trying to get his life back on track, he needed Jake to lay off.

  “I get that, but I’m doing fine, alright? I’ll see you on Saturday. Thanks for everything…letting me stay at your place…and give that hot blonde of yours a kiss and hug for me.”

  “Just a hug,” Jake replied.

  “Little do you know, we make out in the closet when you’re not around,” Mason teased.

  “Nice try, I’d know if that diseased mouth of yours touched my girl. Now, go spend some time with Piper, but watch out, man, okay?”

  “Yup,” Mason said, hoping Piper couldn’t overhear his conversation with Jake; he didn’t need anything steering Piper away from him.
