“Fuck, Lily. Fuuuuck,” he came hard, jerking inside of me.
I loved the feel of him. His weight pressing me into the mattress, his smooth skin bare against mine. Having sex with Kaiden was definitely my new favorite thing.
“What?” He eased back to look at me.
“When can we do that again?” I grinned and his laughter fanned my face.
“We’ll be doing a lot of that,” Kaiden brushed his nose over mine, kissing me. “But I might need ten minutes to catch my breath.”
“Ten minutes?” Desire pulsed through me as I curled my fingers into his damp skin, and he chuckled again.
“There’s something else,” he said.
“There is?”
Kaiden rolled off me and lay on his side, staring at me intently. “So remember how I told you the scouts from Alabama came to see me?”
“Of course I remember.”
“Well, they weren’t the only ones.” My brows knitted, and his hand smoothed over my waist, pulling me onto my side too. “Penn State wants me, Lily. They want me to play for the Nittany Lions.”
“But I thought you wanted Bama?”
“I do… I mean, I did… Until I met you.”
“What are you saying?” Blood roared in my ears as I tried to process his words.
“Penn State is only two hours away. If you decide to stay at home, or go to Temple or Pittsburgh, we’ll be close enough to—”
“Kaiden, wait a minute.” I blinked, certain I had misheard him. “You can’t give up Alabama, it’s your dream. It’s all you’ve ever wanted.”
“Yeah, but things change, Lily.Ichanged. I love football, I will always love football. But I love you too. And choosing between you and football is not a choice I’m willing to make. Penn State is a good program with a good team. And Coach thinks I stand a good shot there.”
“You talked to my dad about this?”
“Yeah, but he didn’t know about us then.”
“Maybe you should think about it. It’s a big decision. I don’t want—”
“Ssh.” He touched his thumb to my lips. “I want this, Lily. I want you. A future… with you.”
“You’re sure?” Disbelief spread through me, tinged with relief. I didn’t want Kaiden to go off to Alabama next fall. Of course I didn’t. But I also didn’t want to be the reason he gave up his dreams.
“One-hundred-percent.” He slid his fingers under my jaw, bringing my face to his. “I love you, Lily. And I still have a whole heap of firsts I want to claim.”
“Yeah?” I smiled against his lips, happiness bursting inside me.
“Yeah. I want them all.” Kaiden kissed me softly. “Every single one.”
Epilogue
A month later…
Kaiden
“I’m proud of you,son. Real fucking proud.” Coach Ford pulled me in for a hug. I was aware of everyone watching us, of Lily watching us. But I didn’t flinch as I accepted Coach’s praise.
It was hard to believe that almost three months ago, this man was the enemy. The guy who held my future in the palm of his hand. Now, thanks to his connections and guidance, my future was set.
