*****************************
Driving away for the last time was a dream come true. Fifteen years. Fifteen long, hard years. The only reason I stayed around so long was for the money and to take care of my family. The magic ended years ago; the whole thing turning into a job. But now it was over.
I had enough money to do whatever I liked; whenever I liked. My parents were financially secure, as were my siblings. I no longer had to maintain this "image." How I hated the "image." From now on I could simply be myself.
A slight chuckle came from my throat as I replayed our last conversation.
"Jenkins, you're amazing. I don't know whether to call you an asshole; wish you luck; or join you. This game takes everything you have and asks for more. You're different than the other guys; you always have been. You actually saved some of your fucking money and didn't marry any of the girls who threw their pussies around just to get your cash."
Those words made me laugh; coach had a way with wordsβnever hiding his message.
He did know what he was talking about. Sports Illustrated published an article which claimed 78% of NFL players are broke within two years after retirement and about 80% of all pro athletes wind up getting a divorce. In contrast to these stats, I was far from broke and not being married or having kids out of wed-lock kept my small fortune intact. As a back-up wide receiver, the training, practice and game schedule made football more than a full-time profession. There was always someone waiting in the wings to take your roster spot. The fact I lasted fifteen years compared to the league average of three and a half was amazing.
And yes there was always pussy. God knows I had my share; but there-in was the problem; it was simply pussy. Even when I met a woman, there seemed to be an aura which surrounded a professional athlete. I knew what they wanted and it just wasn't my cock. I didn't have time to find a nice girl, or should I say a girl who would understand. Coach was also correct when he said I was different than the other guys.
One month after our last regular season game, I made the decision to retire. It wasn't until this morning, six months later, I told the team. Not having an agent made life easier because I always dealt directly with management; which in hindsight probably kept me around for so long as I didn't nickel and dime them to death. All my contracts were year to year and simple.
As was my tradition during the off-season, I drifted into my 'different self 'about two days after the end of the season. My other self was a softer, kinder Pat Jenkins. This was kept locked away from May through the end of the season. I was never an overly hairy guy but by the end of that second day all of my body hair was gone followed by opening the suitcase which contained my special clothes.
Now I wouldn't say I was a cross-dresser but rather a lover of the sensations fine intimates produce on my body. There was nothing better than the feel of satin on my hairless torso be it panties, nylons or a cami. There was a soothing sensual feel when panties cradled my always semi-hard cock and snugged against my anus. I adored the smoothness of nylons against my bare legs and the light teasing a slip or cami produced upon my nipples. The special clothes kept me aroused most of the time. With various hair styles being acceptable in pro sports, I was able to grow my auburn locks to shoulder length -- always pulled back in a 'Steven Segal' type ponytail during the season, but in the off season I allowed it to sway seductively across my shoulders.
I was always this way. Childhood memories were filled with soft images of women adorned in their intimates. This special treat was theirs and theirs alone. It didn't seem fair. There was nothing for men except boxers or briefs. Today there are more; however, not to the lush extent of a woman's world.
How women dressed and the make up which highlighted their faces intrigued me and I soon learned there was meaning to each look. There was an everyday look; a look for evening; a party look; and a look for lust which rocked my inner being. The look of lust caused my head to spin as it filled my soul with longing and desire. It was a look which my mind's eye conjured each night as I jerked off into a pair of my mom's or sister's panties.
These images were constantly being fueled. Sometimes I would catch a glimpse of a woman's intimates as a button was undone or the hem of their skirt rose a bit too high. I still get a thrill when I catch a glimpse. By the time I entered college I made a vow to find a way to enjoy those intimates for myself.
Early on sports took over my life. I was bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter than all the other kids. In high school I was All-Everything and earned a full ride to State for football. Earning All American honors in college was much harder as I wasn't bigger or stronger anymore. But I was faster and smarter. I wasn't sure if a pro career was in the making, so I studied and graduated with honors in economics. As fate would have it, I became one of the few white, wide receivers in the NFL.
I never bulked up as the other players did. I loved my lithesome body and being faster kept me out of harms way for the most part. At 6'3" and 190 lbs, I took years of abuse from the linebackers and the defensive backs of the world. However when I slipped into my off season intimates, the price was worth it. I loved the feel and the persona they allowed me to be.
While in college, I started getting laid on a regular basis. I was considered good looking. The girls loved my soft skin, auburn hair and green eyes. I loved their intimates and would often 'playfully' steal them after a bout of fucking.
One girl, Emily Grove was the one who opened the door to my other self. We were both seniors taking the same required Social Studies course needed to graduate. There was a certain look about her which captured my attention.
Emily was over 6' tall which intimidated so many guys. She was also flat chested which made her invisible to the others. To me, the sight of her puffy areolas pushing her constantly hard nipples against her clothes drove me nuts. The fact her hair was auburn and her eyes were green made many people think we were brother and sister.
