Rookie Love

by Skye Turner

  I walk down the hallway and hold my breath. If Jase doesn’t follow me, I’ll be mortified. I’ll never be able to look at him again. Not that it matters. I can always stay in my office when he’s serving his hours at the center.

  Oh my God. Did I really just do that?

  I just stripped down to my underwear and left Jase in my living room.

  Is he going to come back here? What if he doesn’t?

  Oh my God… that was so stupid, Cally.

  Rapid strides behind me reach my eardrums a second before strong arms close around me and lift me off my feet.

  Jase groans. “Yeah, like I’m not going to take you up on your offer, Cally.” He turns me in his arms and my legs instinctively wrap around his hips. I feel cotton and bare skin against me and realize Jase is only in his underwear, too. He stripped before following me.

  Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss him as he strides down my hall. He kisses me back before breaking the kiss and exclaiming harshly. “Which is your bedroom?”

  I gesture to the door behind me. “This one.”

  Jase walks through the darkened doorstep and crosses the room. I have the curtains open and the evening light is filtering through the windows and showcasing the bed. He crosses the room and climbs onto the mattress with me still in his arms. He sits back. I straddle him and cup his face as my mouth fuses with his.

  This is not like the other kisses. It’s wild and unbridled. We’re kissing as if the last drop of water on a barren planet can only be found inside each other’s mouth. My panties are soaked clean through. The evidence of all of my desire for Jase is making itself known. I can feel his cock pressing against me as if there is no barrier through both of our undergarments. I’m so wet, I’ve soaked through his underwear, too.

  He moans into my mouth and I swallow it and rub against him harder. He breaks the kiss and squeezes my hips. “I need you naked… now.” With frenzied movements, we work together to rid each other of the last of the offending clothing between us.

  Chapter Ten

  Jase

  Cally is ripping at my boxer briefs as I yank on her panties. Her bra is quickly discarded and flung who knows where in the room and then she’s pressing her naked chest against mine as she straddles me and I can feel her bare skin against my throbbing erection.

  Her hands reach down to wrap around my length. It’s slick from her arousal coating both of us and she uses the lubrication to stroke me. My eyes roll back in my head as her small fist works my shaft. My mouth captures a nipple and I roll it with my tongue before using my teeth to force it to a more rigid peak.

  Once I’ve worshiped one, I switch to the other and suck on it as she continues to stroke me.

  Then, I grip her wrists to stop her. She opens her eyes and I can see the confusion there. She groans, “No, I don’t want to stop… why are you stopping me?”

  Acting quickly, I lift her off my lap and roll us both. Her back lands on the comforter and she squeals. “Wha…” It ends on a throaty moan as I settle between her thighs, drape her ankles over my shoulders, and suck her clit into my mouth where my tongue laves it.

  Her thighs tighten on the sides of my head and my hands settle on her hips to hold her in place. She’s bucking against my face and her throaty moans and squeals are spurring me on. Alternating between licking and sucking on her clit and licking her slit before plunging my tongue inside of her I work her… and myself… into a frenzy.

  Cally’s throaty moans and squeals are bouncing around the room as she loudly and openly exclaims her appreciation. “Ohhhh…. Jase… Sooooo good… Mmmmm…. Oh, God…” I feel her stomach start to tighten and know she’s close. Concentrating on her clit, I slip two fingers inside of her and thrust. She rides my face and hand and then… her body goes rigid as she screams. “Ohhh… Ohhhhh…. Ahhhhhh… Jase… Jase!”

  She continues to jerk against my face and I slow my licks as she finishes her orgasm. I don’t want to overstimulate her.

  Finally, her body goes lax though her pussy is spasming around my fingers. Her head lifts a bit and she looks down at me as I look up at her from between her splayed legs. Her hand weakly touches my face and she grins. “Damn, Jase. You’re pretty good at that.”

  I smirk and slide up her body. As she feels my erection at her core her eyes widen. “That’s nothing… are you sure you want to do this?”

  Instead of words, she reaches between us and wraps her hand around me. She strokes me from root to tip and then back down. As she circles the base of my cock, she moves a little and lines me up with her opening. Then, she pushes the tip inside. I sink in and moan as she swivels her hips to allow me to go deeper. She moans, “Ohhhh. God, you feel amazing.”

  Pulling out slightly, I slowly slide back in and we moan in unison at the euphoria it creates. She’s tight and warm. Het muscles are clenching at me. I want nothing more than to sink all the way into her, but she’s so tight, I don’t want to hurt her.

  She opens her eyes and looks down as I slide out to the tip again and then sink back in, giving her a little more with each thrust.

  She’s biting her lip and watching me disappear inside of her with rapt fascination. Finally, I pull out and plunge all the way in. Her head falls back and her mouth drops open as she moans.

  I do it again a few times, picking up the pace. Her head is rolling from side to side and her hands reach up and cup her breasts. I love watching them bounce as I fuck her.

  Her ankles come around my waist and lock at my back. She’s meeting me thrust for thrust.

  My strokes become harder and faster and she screams as she moves with me. Her nails are scraping against my chest and run over my nipples. It sends a pang straight to my cock. “Yes, play with my nipples… Oh God… Mmmmmm.”

  Her nails scrape over them again and I feel myself start to swell as my balls tighten. Reaching between our joined bodies, I flick her clit as I continue to fuck her. She moans and her hips start jerking, I can tell she’s close.

  Come on, Baby. I need you to come, because I’m about to blow and you need to come first.

  Holy fuck… I’m not wearing a condom!

  It completely slipped my mind. Is Cally on birth control?

  I’m too close for the freak out to even matter. Cally’s back arches and she screams as she comes all over me. Her pussy is spasming and I know I need to pull out.

  With a roar, I pull out and grasp my cock. With two pumps, I’m shooting my cum all over her stomach. “Ohhhh… I’m sorry… Ahhhhhhhh… Cally… AGH…”

  My body is jerking as I drop the last of my cum on her. Looking down, I see my white cream all over her porcelain skin and it’s such an erotic picture.

  I wish I had a camera.

  Dude, what the fuck? You want to take a picture of your cum on Cally’s stomach?

  This is not a fucking porno.

  But shit… we just had sex and we didn’t talk about anything… I’m clean… I’m about ninety-nine percent certain she is, too. She’s not a slut by any means, but is she on birth control?!

  I gasp to try to fill my lungs with air and chance a look at her. She looks completely satiated. Her hair is a tangled mess around her head, like Shakira on the She-Wolf cover. Her eyes are wide and luminous. Her skin is flushed and glistening from sweat… and my cum is staring at me from her stomach.

  Her eyes open and she smiles at me shyly. I smile back and sit back on the bed.

  I don’t want to break the mood, but I have to know…

  “Cally, are you on birth control?”

  Cally

  What? Am I on birth control?

  OH MY GOD! I just had sex with Jase. Amazing, life-altering, romance book sex… UNPROTECTED sex with Jase.

  He said he’s not loose, but was that true.

  I mean of course it was true, he’s been nothing but honest… but we didn’t use anything.

  I’m on the pill… I have been for years, but we didn’t even discuss that.

  We were so
hot for each other…

  Oh my God… and now he’s looking at me like he’s scared I might NOT be on birth control.

  Well, I am.

  Grabbing the sheet from underneath me, I hurriedly slide under it and pull it to my chin as I stare at Jase. His face looks worried. I sigh. “I’m on the pill. I didn’t just get pregnant so you don’t have to worry about that. I’m not trying to trap you with a baby or anything.”

  His face loses all color and his mouth opens and closes as he rubs the back of his neck. Finally he sputters. “Wh–– What? No… I didn’t mean that. I mean I didn’t think you were trying to–– to trap me.

  “God, Cally!” I jump at the harshness that comes through his words. He glares at me. “I was worried about you! I pulled out, but I never even asked you… I can’t believe that.” He looks shell-shocked. “I never do that. I mean it. I’ve never had unprotected sex. Not with any of my girlfriends. We always used condoms.

  “I wasn’t worried that you were trying to get pregnant. Hell, just earlier today, you couldn’t stand me. So, unless you’re an Oscar worthy actress, I don’t think that was fake.”

  He sighs and looks at me as he reaches for my hand, that’s clutching the sheet so tightly that it’s white. His fingers wrap around my own and I relax just a little, though I still keep the sheet covering my nakedness. He smiles slightly. “I meant I wanted you so badly that I never took into consideration that we might need a condom… to protect you. That’s all I was getting at.”

  I sigh and realize that once again… Jase is proving that he’s a one of a kind guy.

  I am in so much trouble.

  It will be so incredibly easy to fall in love with this man and that would be absolutely insane.

  He’s out of here as soon as he signs with the majors and I’ll never leave. That’s no way to have a relationship and I wouldn’t be happy with one like that anyway.

  Careful, Cally… be cool and above all… protect your heart. Because it would be way too easy to just give it to Jase and say the hell with the consequences.

  Sitting up, I pull the covers to my chest and Jase smirks as he sees it. “You know I just had those in my mouth, my mouth in between your thighs, and spilled my possible future offspring all over your stomach, right?”

  Laughing, I slap at him. “Oh, I know. I’m going to feel it tomorrow and if I didn’t live alone, I’m pretty certain my roommates would be jealous as hell.”

  He quirks a brow and says, “Other than Percy, I think we’re good.”

  Oh my God… Percy.

  Glancing toward the door, I try to see if his furry head is peeking into the room to try to see what all the commotion was about.

  Nope. He’s not there. He must still be sleeping in the kitchen.

  Thank God… the idea of my dog watching Jase and me like a Bobble-head freaks me the hell out.

  Jase sees my smile and asks. “What are you smiling at?”

  Chuckling, I wave at the door. “Oh, just imagining if Percy had been watching us from the doorway over there.”

  Jase blushes and then coughs. “Oh shit… What if he’d thought I was hurting you and bit me on the ass or something?”

  I can’t stop the roaring laughter from bursting out of my chest. When I’m done, I wipe my eyes and look at Jase. Wrinkling my nose, I reply. “That would have been a hard injury to explain. But I was picturing him more like a Bobble-head.”

  Jase mimics a Bobble-head and I bust out laughing again. He joins in and we laugh together.

  Then, he reaches over and runs his fingers through my hair. He sighs. “Ok, so you’re on birth control. I don’t think you’re trying to trap me… I like you… you like me… we have amazing sex… So, what is the likelihood of a repeat of tonight happening?”

  My breath hitches in my chest and I cup his hand on my cheek. We just look at each other. Finally, I ask, “The dinner… or the sex?”

  He smiles and says, “Both, please.”

  I smile back, but wrinkle my nose again, as I think about it.

  I want to have more dates with Jase. I enjoy his company and he’s actually really easy to talk to.

  But he’s busy with advancing his career and I’m busy with the center. We’ll see each other when he comes for his community service, but what happens when he’s done with his time?

  Can I keep this casual?

  I really want more of his company and more of that phenomenal sex… but can I handle it when he’s up and gone?

  How can I prevent my heart from shattering?!

  Smiling at him, I let the sheet drop and I nod. “I’d say the likelihood is pretty high.”

  He sighs and mutters, “Grand slam.”

  We kiss and end up making each other scream out both of our names again before hopping into the shower together.

  We sit on the couch after the shower and chat. Then, he gets serious as he looks at his watch. “Cally, I have an all-day practice tomorrow. Then, on Wednesday, we’re traveling to Georgia for a game. We’ll stay the night and the game is Thursday. I’ll be back the following day, but we have an afternoon practice and then I have morning practice on Saturday. I can plan on coming to the center on Saturday afternoon, but I didn’t want you to just think this was sex and I was avoiding you.

  “I’d like to get your number and maybe text or call when I’m gone… are you open to that?”

  Reaching up, I cup his face and smile before pulling his head down for a kiss. When we part, I sigh and breathe against his lips. “Yeah, I’m ok with that.”

  We save each other’s numbers in our phones and he sighs as he once again looks at the time. “I need to get going. Tomorrow is going to kick my ass if I don’t get some sleep tonight.”

  I walk him to the door and he kisses me once more before heading to his car. As he opens the door, he looks back. “Good night, Cally Cooper. I’ll call you from the road and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.”

  I nod and wave. “Be safe. Night, Jase.”

  He gets in the car and backs out, as he reaches the porch, he rolls down the window and calls out, “Hey, would you be interested in coming to a game? A home game, that is. If so, I can get you a ticket… or a couple if you want to bring someone.”

  Would I like to see Jase play?

  I’ve never cared about baseball at all, but I think I would.

  Besides… aren’t baseball pants really tight?

  I smirk and nod. “I think I’d like that. Let me know when you want me to come and I’ll have someone cover for me at the center.” I wink. “Besides… that means I get to see that nice ass in baseball pants.”

  He laughs. “I can wear baseball pants at the center if you want me to. Hey, maybe that would get people to adopt animals!”

  I frown… “No, we don’t have enough parking to handle that kind of chaos. You can stick to regular clothes. How about baggy pants and a three sizes too large t-shirt?!”

  He chuckles and puts the car in park. As he hops out, I’m completely taken by surprise. He bounds up the steps and grasps the sides of my face as he kisses me. Sweetly and romantically. He takes his time, then he leans back and kisses my nose. “I really like you, Cally Cooper.” He winks. “See you Saturday,” and hops back into his car.

  As he waves one last time and turns onto the road, I sigh and mutter, “Oh shit… I’m so screwed…. So, so screwed.”

  Chapter Eleven

  Jase

  Four days later

  We’re traveling back to Baton Rouge. We won our game last night and a couple of scouts expressed interest in having me come try out for their teams through my agent. I told him I was interested in trying for both. I’ve never thought about moving to Minnesota before, but when the Twins expresses an interest, you start to imagine the possibilities.

  My gut is thinking the Braves would be a better fit for me though. I’ve always loved the Atlanta Braves. They were my favorite team growing up and I used to play act and daydream about pitching for them someday
.

  Now it looks like I just might have a chance to make that happen.

  My agent is going to set the try outs up and give me the details about it all. He always has my best interest at heart and we mesh really well together.

  As I lay my head against the headrest on the bus, I start to drift.

  I’m standing at the mound at Turner Park and the stadium is packed. The crowd is so loud. It’s the top of the ninth, two outs, and we’re up by one. If I can strike out this guy and prevent him from scoring on me… we win and are headed to the World Series.

  I block out the crowd noise and stare the batter down. The catcher is signaling me, but I shake my head. No, not that one.

  He moves his fingers once more and I nod. Yeah, that one.

  Concentrating on the batter, I see no one else. Taking a deep breath, I wind my arm and stare him down.

  It’s go time.

  My arm slings forward and the ball is released at the last second. I exhale and then hold my breath as I watch him swing.

  And… he misses.

  The umpire throws his hands up and yells, “STRIKE!”

  The batter’s shoulders slump and he kicks the dirt as curse words fly out of his mouth. The catcher flings off his face mask as he jumps up and races toward me.

  He grabs me in a bear hug and swings me around.

  I laugh and throw my head back. The crowd is screaming my name. “Jase! Jase! JASE!”

  Everyone is whooping and hollering.

  The Atlanta Braves are going to the World Series!

  I struck him out!

  Whipping off my hat, I swipe my brow and a huge grin spreads over my face as I wave my hat at the roaring crowd.

  “Jase. Jase… dude, wake up. Your phone is buzzing.”

  I wake with a start, but the smile is still on my face. Groggily, I open my eyes and focus on Adam. He’s grinning at me from where he’s leaning over me. “Hello, sunshine.”

  I shove him and glare. “Get the fuck out of my face, dude. What the hell?”
