Plus, I’d be playing with my brothers again.
Brinkley had gone to a coffee shop near the stadium, and we’d just picked her up.
She hadn’t asked me anything about the meeting. She knew I’d share it with her when I was ready.
I’d asked them to hold off on any announcements, as I’d promised the story to a reporter, and I was a man of my word.
She’d break the story soon.
I would continue training in Cottonwood Cove until preseason started and we were expected to report for training camp.
I was grateful for this quiet time away from it all.
“Good meeting, brother. I’m happy for you,” Drew said as we pulled up at the hangar to drop him off. He was flying home because his son had a tennis match in the morning that he didn’t want to miss.
Brinkley and I would be staying in New York and meeting up with Brett and Lenny and a few other guys from the team.
I jumped out of the car and clapped him on the shoulder, just as Brinkley stepped out of the car, surprising us both.
“It was great to meet you, Drew.” She smiled and extended her hand. “I’m glad he has you looking out for him.”
“I feel the same way, boss lady. That was badass what you did earlier. Keep looking out for my boy, okay?” Drew shook her hand and wrapped his other hand around the outside of hers and nodded. “Can’t wait to read your story. It’s about time someone did this man justice.”
“Don’t get all sappy. Get home to your family. Thanks for being here,” I said, as he held his hand up and waved and walked toward the plane.
“I like him,” she said, bumping me with her shoulder.
“Yeah. He’s a good guy.” I opened the back door and guided her inside.
“We’re meeting with your friends tonight? Are you sure you’re okay with me going? I can stay at the hotel and order room service if you want some time alone,” she said.
But I didn’t. I wanted her there.
“No. It’ll be fun. You’ll love them. If they hit on you, just tell them to fuck off.” I chuckled.
She rolled her eyes and then groaned when we pulled up to the hotel and she noticed the cameramen lined up out front.
“Fuck,” I hissed as I called the hotel from my phone.
I let them know that there was an issue, and they said that they’d phoned the police and were trying to get them removed. They told me to head around the back of the hotel, so the car pulled away from the curb and made its way around the block to the door at the back of the building.
Security was there to greet us, and they hurried us inside and onto the staff elevator.
Brinkley was quiet the entire time, and I thanked the two men for the escort once we arrived at our floor and stepped off the elevator.
“You okay?” I asked as we made our way down the hallway to the two suites at the end.
“Yeah. I’m fine.” She turned around and leaned against her door. “I didn’t know how bad it was, Lincoln. I’m sorry for following you into the bathroom that day.”
Her dark eyes looked so empathetic it nearly brought me to my knees.
But now, I had thoughts of dropping to my knees and burying my face between her thighs.
Touching her.
Tasting her.
My cock swelled, straining against my zipper.
