“Uhhh, uhhh. Mmmm.”
“That’s it, baby,” I said. I was leaning on my elbows and I felt Teagan’s nails dig into the flesh of my back “It feels so amazing. Come on, babe,” I urged, feeling my orgasm on the brink.
Her legs wrapped around me and her heels dug into the back of my thighs as the uncontrollable pulsing of her orgasm made her muscles flex around my cock. That was it; I was done. Three thrusts later, I was pouring into her and groaning her name. “Teeeaagan.” I came hard, jerking against her as she clung to me. Her fingers gently stroked the hair at my nape and she pushed on my ass with the other hand. “Oh, babe.”
It took me a second to recover, then I pulled back to look at her, still breathing hard. Wisps of her hair clung to her temple by a slight sheen of perspiration, her eyes were heavy and her mouth swollen. I used both hands to push her hair back and frame her face. I traced her jaw with my thumbs and brushed along her hairline with my fingers.
“You’re still perfect.”
I could see her swallow and tears flood her eyes as she ran one finger down the side of her face. Every touch between us was reverent. “Will you let me tell you now?”
I studied her face and still found pain there. “I don’t want to ruin this. It’s too incredible to be with you. I never thought I’d touch you again.”
She pushed her fingers through the damp hair on one side of my head and fisted her hand in the back of my hair. “If I had my way, you would have never stopped.”
I slid out of her and rolled onto my side to face her. Her words made me uneasy. If they were true, why did it stop?
“We have time to talk about the past, but I think we need to talk about Remi.”
“I just need to tell you the truth, first. Please, Chase.”
I was flying and I didn’t want to spoil the moment by digging up painful memories.
“Okay, but not now. Not when we’ve just made love.”
She closed her eyes then opened them again. “When we’re close is when I should tell you. When you can feel how much you mean to me.”
I didn’t say anything, just continued to meet her eyes. I was gently kneading the flesh of her upper arm. She had a point, but I still hesitated.
“I don’t have to tell you everything right now, but a piece of it. Please.”
I sighed deeply. “Okay. Just answer this: Did you know you were pregnant before I left?”
She nodded. My jaw jutted forward in anger.
“Just before you got the offer from Arsenal. I was going to tell you after the championship game, but you were so excited about the offer, I just couldn’t do it. I knew you wouldn’t go if you knew about the baby.”
It made sense in a way, but it still didn’t explain the rest. “I might have. At first, it was just to fill-in as forward for a while. We knew that.”
She shook her head sadly. “No, we didn’t. We both knew once they had you, they’d keep you, Chase. You were the best forward in college soccer.”
I huffed and tried to smile. “You were my girlfriend. You had to think so.”
“It was the truth, and you know it.”
I half shrugged. “Saying it out loud makes me sound like an asshole.”
It was Teagan’s turn to smile. “Being honest doesn’t make you an asshole.”
Honesty. The word hung between us like a storm.
I wanted to get this over with so, hopefully, we could get past it. “Okay, so you couldn’t tell me before I left, but why not later? Why not just come to London?”
“When my dad found out, he threatened to destroy you! Your career—”
Anger exploded inside me. Then, and I sat up and moved back from her. Her father never thought I was good enough for his little girl. He made it clear he held disdain for my middle-class roots and felt that I wasn't good enough for his daughter. He was a pompous bastard and he’d done his best to break us up. Obviously, in this case, it worked. I felt some of the anger over her betrayal weasel its way back into my heart. “What could he do?” I spat.
“He was going to tell the press. He said you were a deadbeat to leave your pregnant girlfriend here to deal with this mess while you went about your life,” she admitted, climbing on to her knees, but keeping the sheet around her naked body. “It’s not what I thought, Chase,” she added, knowing I was about to blow.
