Love of the Game - The Complete Collection (Box Set)

by Shayne McClendon

  Kenzie’s hips rocked up from the seat and she watched Diesel press his hand over his cock. She knew it was to keep from joining her. She stroked herself through her climax and finally settled back to the seat. “I’ve missed you, Diesel.”

  “I’ve missed you, Kenzie.” He stopped at the last traffic light before the turn to his house and pulled her hand from inside her panties. He put her fingers to his lips and sucked her fluids from them. “Fuck…you taste good.”

  She put her clothes in place but didn’t fasten them as he turned onto his driveway and came to a screeching stop in front of the house.

  He was out of the car and opening her door in seconds. The moment he pulled her into his arms, her legs wrapped around his waist on instinct.

  “I need you so bad…right now.” Despite his distraction, he managed to unlock the door. She was set on her feet just inside. “Clothes off, Kenzie, we’ll go slow next time.” A condom appeared in his hand and he stripped in record time.

  Diesel rolled the rubber on as he turned and held his arms open for her. Kenzie jumped up and wrapped her naked body around his. “Now, Diesel, right now. I’m ready…I need you. I want to see you come for me.”

  She rocked on him and he groaned low in his throat. He braced her back against the nearest wall, positioned himself at the entrance of her pussy, and thrust hard.

  “Jesus, you’re still so tight. So fucking tight.” He stroked back and forth until he was finally fully inside her, the head of his cock pressing against her womb. “I’m not going to last. You feel so good.”

  He held her ass as he stroked fast and hard inside her. Less than a dozen thrusts and she was coming, her nails digging into his shoulders.

  “Yes, Diesel, yes…I’m coming, come with me.”

  MacKenzie tightened her arms and felt her climaxing pussy milking his cock. Diesel fully lost control. He slammed into her and bellowed her name as she felt his come fill the condom.

  “So hard…coming so hard, Kenzie.” He continued to thrust until he was fully spent and his forehead collapsed on her shoulder.

  They were gasping for air and Kenzie could feel the blood pounding in her veins.

  When he could think again, Diesel started kissing her slowly, deeply, his tongue swiping into her mouth, licking her teeth, her tongue, going over the inside of her cheeks.

  He wanted to take her in, drink her down, and make her part of his body.

  Her hands moved to his hair and fisted there, holding him to her. When he lifted his mouth from hers, her lips were red and swollen, her eyes glazed with need for him.

  She was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.

  Diesel gathered her to him and her arms went around his neck. She laid her head on his shoulder as he locked the front door, climbed the stairs to his bedroom, and laid her down on his huge bed.

  He was still inside her, not fully soft, and he held his weight on his forearms to look down at her.

  “MacKenzie, I’m sorry…about everything.” He lifted one hand to smooth her hair away from her face. “Every time after you felt less but I ignored it. I never dreamed…I didn’t know you wanted me, waited for me. I’m sorry.”

  “You had to live your life, Diesel. I knew that, I wanted that for you. You don’t owe me an apology.”

  He knew she meant every word but it wasn’t enough. “I need you with me, I need Dalton with me.” He kissed her slow and tender. “I don’t want to miss another day with our son. I don’t want to be alone. Don’t make me go back to being alone.”

  Her fingers touched his face. “Diesel, you don’t have to make room for me in your life to have access to your son. He’s already yours.”

  There was a small shake of his head. “When I found out you were this magical creature I’d somehow missed out on for so long, I wanted you more than I ever wanted anyone, Kenzie. Before or since. I know I was too selfish then. Too caught up in my own shit.”

  Diesel slid his arms under her back and held her tight. “I want you both, Kenzie. You’re the only woman I want.”

  “You’re still young, Diesel…”

  “I don’t care if it sounds crazy. For the first time in years, I feel settled, like I’m doing the exactly right thing. I don’t want to waste more time. I’ve wasted enough.”

  “Don’t rush into anything…”

  “No. Stop it. That’s the Rhodes mentality over-thinking things and not believing you’re good enough. The moment I saw you at the bar, it was as if someone slapped me in the back of the head. Cleared the fog I’ve been living in. A spotlight lit up the one thing I’d been without and all the pieces fell together for me. I love you, MacKenzie.”

  She inhaled sharply and he watched her trying to understand that he loved her.

  “Do you know why I was in that bar, Kenzie?” She shook her head. “Your brother called Cristi and told her I’d moved to Boston. She called Damien and told him there was something I had to see at a bar in Cambridge. That I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it.”

  Her eyes went wide. “Damien called me, said I had to go there, he had no idea why…that Cristi tended to be mysterious. I’d been through one interview after another following the press conference. I asked them if they knew the place and I spotted you the moment I walked in.”

  “I don’t know that we’ll fit in your life, Diesel. You’re so famous. Everyone wants a piece of you.”

  He put his finger over her lips. “I’ve been drifting since the day I left you. I poured everything into hockey because I didn’t go after you that night at the Triple Z. I’ve been thinking about you more and more over the last year.”

  “What?” Kenzie whispered.

  “No one knew where you’d gone, what you were doing. I couldn’t get that night out of my head. Couldn’t stop wanting you. You haunted me, MacKenzie. I’ve called other women by your name because they should have been you.”

  “I don’t know what to do. I don’t want us to be a burden.”

  “I love hockey, Kenzie but it’s just a game…just a job.” He hugged her tight. “You and Dalton will never be a burden…I need you both to be my life.” She had tears in her eyes.

  “Marry me, MacKenzie. Love me and let me love you. Be my wife. You want me to be happy but I can’t be happy without you. Marry me. Say yes, Kenzie. Say yes.”

  “Yes.”

  Chapter Twelve

  Diesel held her so tight it was almost painful. “You won’t regret it. I will never give you a reason to regret it, Kenzie.” His cock was fully hard again inside her. “I want you pregnant again so I can watch you from day one, growing with our child.”

  He thrust forward, watching her eyes glaze. “I don’t want to use a condom, MacKenzie. You’re the only woman I’ve ever been with without a condom. I want to feel your pussy around me, skin to skin. Fully awake this time.” His smile was self-mocking.

  “I’d love a little girl, Diesel.”

  His laugh was followed by a gentle kiss. “I’ll do my best, but my mother had six boys. We may have to keep trying for a little girl.”

  “I’m very determined when I set my mind to something.”

  There was no way to stop his grin as he nodded. Pulling out, he stripped the condom away and picked her up. He carried her into the bathroom.

  “I want all the spermicide gone. I want you pregnant as soon as possible.” Turning on the water, he stepped into the huge stall, set her on her feet, and started soaping her body. “I want to see you round and glowing. To make love to you, knowing our future is growing inside you. I want to see Dalton’s face when we give him siblings.”

  She didn’t miss the plural. “Do you plan to give me lots of babies, Diesel?”

  “As many as you want, MacKenzie…we both come from big families and love children.” He kissed her and ran his hands over her slick skin.

  “You’re going to do exactly what you want. You can put everyone else’s happiness first all you like but your happiness is going to come first for me from
now on.”

  “What would make me happy right now,” she murmured as she lowered to the tile floor in front of him and sat back on her heels, “is watching what you look like when you stroke yourself, Diesel. Then you can take me to bed and show me all the things we never had a chance to try.”

  His heart slammed against his ribs when she reached between his legs and cupped his balls. “First, I want to taste you.”

  He wrapped his fist around his cock and began to stroke, so turned on by what she wanted he knew it wouldn’t take long. With one hand braced against the wall behind her, he watched the water splash over her swollen breasts and taut nipples, and moved his hips in time to his hand.

  Kenzie played with his balls and slid her other hand up to knead his thigh. Diesel moaned when she licked the drop of pre-come from the head.

  “Yes, Diesel, come in my mouth. I could come just watching you.”

  “Reach down and play with your clit, Kenzie.”

  She slid one hand down her body, tweaked her nipple on the way by, and settled her fingertips over her clit. Her eyes never left his cock as he masturbated for her. She stared at him, transfixed, her own movements getting faster and faster.

  “Diesel, watching you do that is…don’t stop. It’s making me come.” Watching her, he felt his own climax build past the point of no return.

  “Open, Kenzie.” She lifted her face and parted her lips. Her instant obedience to the command drew his balls up tight. “I’m coming…”

  The first jet made her moan as it splashed over her lips and tongue. The sight of it caused his orgasm to hit harder than he ever felt alone.

  Suddenly, she took him in her mouth and sucked greedily, swallowing his seed as it left his body, her hands gripping the muscles of his ass to hold him to her. His hands were in fists against the wall, his knees locked to remain standing.

  “Hell, that feels so fucking good.”

  Totally spent, he watched her clean him and sit back. He lifted her from the floor and pulled her into a hug. “You’re the only woman who ever wanted me enough to wait for me. Who thought I was worth waiting for.”

  Her lips whispered something in Lakota against his ear and he drew back to look at her. “What does that mean? You said the same thing when we were together that night.”

  Her smile was gentle. “It means, for me, there is only you.” His eyes went wide and he held her tighter. “I meant it then, Diesel and I mean it now.”

  They washed one another, whispered to each other.

  They shut off the water and he kissed her possessively, fiercely and took her to bed. Sliding into her bare and fully aware, he stilled, enjoying the feel of her around him while he kissed her breathless. For the next eight hours, he alternated between naps and making love to her, until they were exhausted and sticky.

  The next morning, Kenzie called Thad and he said he was taking Dalton with him to the library, not to worry. Relieved, she fell back to sleep and woke around noon with Diesel curled around her body.

  They showered, got dressed, and sat on the back sun porch with their coffee. The thick couch was comfortable with Diesel on the end and Kenzie snug against him.

  “I want to give you everything you want, MacKenzie,” he said into her hair.

  “I have you, Dalton, Thad, and my sisters. That’s all I’ll ever need, Diesel.”

  The sincerity of her words wrapped around his heart. She was so different from the women who’d been interested in him more for his fame and fortune.

  MacKenzie was grounded, simple, and easy to please.

  He picked up her hand and kissed her ring finger. “You have to let me get you a ridiculous ring, Kenzie.”

  She shook her head. “And be scared to death I’ll lose it, or that Dalton will play with it while I’m cooking or washing dishes? No, if I had my choice, I’d pick a ring with a fake stone. That way, if it gets destroyed or lost, you can easily replace it. I want to focus on you and our children. Something simple please. Something pretty.”

  “What makes you think you’re going to be cooking or washing dishes? A fake stone…that is so not going to happen even if I have to buy five duplicates in case you lose one.”

  She set down her cup and took his before turning and straddling his lap. Her eyes were relaxed but determined. He smiled at her. “Tell me.”

  “I love to cook. I used to cook with my siblings and now they love to cook. I’m going to teach all our children to cook. Being pampered can be fun but if you’re pampered every day, you lose your appreciation for it.”

  What she was saying made sense. He realized why his mother only allowed him to help her to a point.

  “Now, if you want someone to help clean and do laundry…I’m all over that. I change Dalton’s clothes like four times a day due to juice, food, paint, or mud. I’ve never had anyone but Thad stay with Dalton, so I’m a little nervous.”

  “Understandable. We’ll make sure anyone we get is fully checked out.”

  She nodded. “You can take Dalton shopping for his little boy clothes now, he gets very irate when I go in the changing room with him. When you aren’t traveling for work, if you can go with us to his hockey practice, that would be amazing. You’re likely to be swamped with little kids wanting you to play with them but I’ve seen you with your little brothers; I think you can handle it. I get cranky for two days every month and only want to eat ice cream. I apologize in advance.”

  She kissed him, sealing their bodies together from their lips to their thighs.

  “I know you have a time-consuming job. I will love you extra hard and take extra good care of you when you’re home. You don’t have to buy me things or take me places or make grand gestures…I loved you when you were just another small town boy with big dreams and an adorable scar over your eyebrow. I’m low maintenance, Diesel, all I need is love and to know I’m enough for you.”

  Diesel gazed at her for a long time, running his hands over her. “I need you to know, to believe, I will never be unfaithful to you, MacKenzie. I won’t hurt you like that, the way my mother was hurt by my father.”

  “Thank you.”

  “I’m going to buy you things and take you places and make grand gestures, because I can and because you deserve it. During the season, I’d like you to travel with me when you can. I’m going to take our son to hockey practice every possible chance I get…and love all of you more than I love myself.”

  He started to lay Kenzie back on the couch, prepared to make love to her again. His head on her chest he moaned, “We have errands…I want to stay here. To play with you and love on you all day. Being an adult is hard, MacKenzie. You’re going to have to train me like you do our children. I’m not used to a schedule outside of practice.”

  Kenzie laughed and ruffled his hair as she did with Dalton. “I’m not in the mood to be a grownup right now either. I tell you what, you help me be less structured, and I’ll help you be a little more structured. You are so big and warm, staying here would be wonderful.”

  She sighed and lifted Diesel’s head to look at her. “I have to get groceries in the house or poor Dalton will starve. At least, that’s what he’ll tell anyone who will listen. He eats more at three than I ate pregnant. Your poor mother, I can’t imagine six boys eating like that.”

  Diesel put his elbow on the couch and sat his chin in his hand. “Okay, this is the deal. We go run errands, yours and mine…then we play with our son and stuff him until he can’t eat another bite and see if we can’t get him to crash out. Then, I get to play with you…until I have you begging me to take you. Grown up stuff first, then play time.”

  He reached under Kenzie’s sweater, stroked her stomach, and up over her breasts, tweaked her nipples through her bra. Her thighs clenched against his ribcage and she ground her pelvis against his chest.

  “Kenzie, I want you so bad right now.” His hand moved to cup her mound through her jeans. “You’re so hot, I bet you’re already wet…” He shook his head hard and stood up. “Y
ou are going to kill me with how much I need you. We have to get up and go. Right now or we won’t be leaving.”

  He pulled her to her feet and caught her against him. Her hair slid like silk over his hands.

  “You have to get me out of here, Diesel. I can only think about getting you inside me with it so quiet and private…not that I wouldn’t totally fuck you on aisle nine of the grocery store during a sale. I just want you. We have to go.”

  “MacKenzie, did you just say you’d fuck me on aisle nine?” He threw her over his shoulder and headed for the stairs. “No making love right now, Kenzie…straight fucking…hard and fast. Then we’ll go, I promise.”

  “I would love you to fuck me like that, Diesel. It sounds delicious.” His growl was punctuated with the flat of his hand slapping her ass. “You spanked me! Wow…I got vibrations in my clit from that…do it again.” He did.

  Diesel didn’t make it all the way to the second floor. He set her down and pushed her torso toward the landing; yanked her jeans and panties to her knees. “I want to fuck you so bad, MacKenzie.”

  Moving his own jeans out of the way enough to free his cock, he slipped inside her with no foreplay. Just as he’d promised, he fucked her hard and fast, powering her up and over her climax before taking his own.

  When they could move, Kenzie turned to kiss him aggressively. She went to the bathroom to clean up. By the time they were in the car, they were breathing normally again.

  “Diesel…we need to do that more often. I feel totally energized.” After a long pause, he heard her hum softly.

  “What, that sounded like a naughty thought…tell me,” he demanded.

  Her voice was sweet. “I think you should let me tie you up and have my way with you.” He slammed on the brakes and they came to a jarring stop in the driveway.

  Kenzie’s face was flushed with arousal. He ground out, “Would you let me tie you up if I let you try it first?” She nodded. “We might need to hire help just to have playtime.” He pulled her over the console and kissed her. “Let’s get done and I’ll stop for toys on the way back to the house.”
