I hate to have to do it, but I feel I should apologize for the delay between chapters. Double pneumonia is no joke, especially when it happens on top of a last minute move. It's been a physically exhausting month. Hopefully the next chapter only takes a week or two.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I wake up the next morning and Jim is still asleep on his back. I snuggle in next to him, lift his arm, and lay on his chest with one arm over him. He slowly wakes up. As his eyes open I smile up at him. "Good Morning." I say.
He hugs me and smiles. "Good Morning." I can see him looking at me laying against him naked. "I could get used to this." He says.
I glance down and I can see a bump in the sheets. "I see that." I say smiling up at him. Just as I am thinking of reaching under the covers, we hear noise out in the kitchen.
Jim sighs. "I suppose we should get dressed and go out there." He says.
I was thinking more along the lines of riding him again, but I just sigh. "Ok."
We get up, put on shorts and a tee shirt and head out. "WOW!" Says Nick with a big smile. "Look who finally woke up."
Nicole smiles at us, and points to the coffee. "Good Morning. Did you sleep well?"
I see Jim's cheeks turn red. It's cute that he is embarrassed, but I want him to feel free to talk about sex with me. "Ezzie, let me guess I asked you to make sure he doesn't get embarrassed about sex with me, but this was with Nicole too right?" I ask.
"Yes, Mary." Says Ezzie.
Just then Nicole is beside us. She stands between us and puts an arm around both of us. "Jim, you are adorable, blushing like that." She says as she kisses his cheek and smiles at me. "But please don't be embarrassed about last night. We are all adults, and we all had fun. You did have fun last night with both Me and Mary, didn't you?" She asks.
Jim just turns redder. "I sure did." He says.
"You are so cute." She says and kisses his cheek. "And so are you." She says as she turns and kisses my cheek.
"What about me?" Says Nick.
Nicole walks over to Nick and straddles him. She gives him a soft loving kiss as she holds his face in her hands. His arms wrap around her as they kiss. After about 30 seconds she breaks the kiss and pushes his hair back, and smiles at him. "I am the best thing that ever happened to you." She says with a big smile.
"HEY!" Nick says.
Nicole keeps talking. "And you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I can't imagine life without you." Nick wraps her up in a tight hug.
"Aaawww. Now who is cute?" I ask with a smile.
I almost forgot. "Ezzie, could you please make sure Jim never gets embarrassed about sex again with Nick and Nicole too please." I say.
"Of course, Mary." Says Ezzie.
We sit around for a bit just talking and sipping our coffee. After a bit Jim stretches. He smiles at me. "Are you up for some yoga? I could use it." He asks.
"Sure." I say.
"Can I join you?" Asks Nicole. "I haven't done yoga in a long time."
"Sure." I say.
"Great. We can use the gym." Nicole says.
The three of us are doing just basic stuff that Nicole knows. Jim corrects her a little, and holds her with one pose to help her find her balance. Nick gives a small laugh while he is lifting weights. "I prefer real strength and muscles."
Jim looks at him and smiles. "So you are strong enough to do this?" Jim says as he puts his weight on his forearms and holds his body straight up. He then pushes up onto his hands, and then one hand. Wow! I have never seen him do this.
"Eh, that's just balance. I can lift more than my weight. It's easy." Nick says.
Jim drops down, and smiles. "Ok this isn't balance. This is pure core strength." Says Jim as he rests on his forearms again and lifts his body straight off the floor. He is holding his body almost parallel to the floor on just his forearms. His feet are a little higher than his shoulders. He holds it for about 10 seconds, and very slowly lowers back to the floor." He turns and smiles at Nick. "Care to try it?"
Nick huffs. "Ok maybe it's not all balance. That last one was kind of impressive."
Jim laughs. "To me the barbells you are tossing around are impressive."
"Are you two through with your little contest?" Asks Nicole. "If you ask me you are both very impressive. Jim, you should open a studio out here. You could make a bundle teaching yoga, and training people for movie rolls." She says.
"Really?" Says Jim.
"Absolutely! After college that is." Says Nicole.
"Yes, Mom." I say sarcastically.
Nicole and I are sitting on the floor beside each other. She catches me off guard, and pushes me over. "Smart Ass!" She says laughing. As I am on my side on the floor laughing.
The rest of the day goes quick, and then it's off to the airport. Jim can't take time off from work. This is just a short overnight trip. I would have loved to turn it into a vacation, but he has to work to afford school.
The flight back is sad. I don't want to let go of his hand the entire time. The layover at his airport is just long enough for some people to get off and a few to get on. We hug in the aisle. I don't want to let him go. "Mary." He says softly. I sniffle and let him go. He smiles down at me and wipes the tears from my eyes. "It's just 2 months until the Coyote's game. It will be here before you know it." He says softly.
I sniffle, and then I hear the flight attendant. "I am sorry guys. You have to keep moving sir." She says softly.
Jim kisses my forehead. "I Love You." And he turns and walks away.
"I Love You Too." I say softly. "Ezzie, please make sure Jim knows I love him." I say.
"I will Mary, but he knows. He turned because he was getting choked up and didn't want you to see him get upset." Says Ezzie.
I sit back down and curl up in a ball in my seat and cry. The seat stays empty for the next leg of the flight. The rest of the flight just sucks.
The next couple of weeks fly by. Anna & I tan in the backyard. We get together with some friends from high school, and then it's off to South Carolina for The Pixie's WNBA game.
I fly out early for a Saturday afternoon game. I am picked up at the airport and brought right to the arena. A special events coordinator meets with me. Takes me down to the floor, and kind of walks me through what will happen. He then tells me the owner Mr Owens, would like to meet me, and he takes me up to his office.
He is a middle aged man. He has a bit of a Dad bod, but is just a bit off. I just write it off at first until as we talk he says something odd. "I always try to help out my players, whenever they need something. They do something for me, I do something extra for them." He says with a smirk.
"Ezzie what is he thinking? He is acting weird." I say.
"He has private meetings with the players sometimes about contract or trade talks, and he will require them have sex with him for favorable trades or contracts." Says Ezzie. "He is imagining you kneeling in front of him giving him a blowjob right now."
I actually cough in surprise. "What?? Eeeww!! No way that's fucking happening." I say as I am only half listening to him talking. He keeps talking about how he thinks he has a great relationship with all his players..blah blah blah blah. "Ezzie, how many women on the team has he done this to?" I ask.
"Six players on the team currently and three women here in the office." Says Ezzie.
"Eeww. What a pig. I have to do something about this. I just don't know what. I need time to think. Ezzie, for now, have him think I am too young and innocent. I might tell someone. He won't try to have sex with me." I say.
"Of course, Mary." Says Ezzie.
Mr Owens calls in his assistant and she walks me down to the locker room to meet Mary and the other players. "Ezzie, is his assistant one of the women Mr Owens has sex with?"
"Yes Mary. He has sex with her about once a month." Says Ezzie.
I look at her and feel bad. She is a pretty girl. Maybe in her mid to late 20s. Poor girl, I have to stop this. I think as we walk into the locker room.
Mary is the first one to greet me. She reaches out and shakes my hand. "Nice to meet you Mary. I am Mary." She says with a big smile. "But everyone calls me, Mare." She introduces me to everyone and I feel short. All the players are so tall. Mare points to a locker with a team uniform hanging in it. "Get changed." Mare says with a smile. "We have warm ups."
"What?" I ask with a laugh.
Mare looks at me seriously. "Get your ass in gear rookie, and get changed for warmups. Coach's rules. No one on the court not in uniform." She says.
I hold up my hands in surrender. "Ok. Ok. I will get changed." I move to the locker and put on the uniform. Shorts, tank top with a tee shirt under it, sweat pants and team colored sneakers.
As I get dressed the tallest woman on the team Cindy comes over with a hair elastic in her hand. "I would normally say braid your hair, but it's just warmup. Put it in a tight ponytail." She says.
I have to look way up as I look at her. She is over six and a half feet tall. "Thank you." I say with a smile as I stand up.
She laughs. "The shirt is a little long on you."
I fluff it out around me. "Well I am about a foot shorter than the shortest woman on the team." I say with a smile.
Cindy turns to Judy. She is an Asian woman with beautiful black hair. "Judy, she just called you short." Cindy says laughing.
