Page 66 of The Way We Fight

That was how I wanted her.

Pushing myself back into her core, I broke the kiss long enough to hiss at how right it felt. “Mine,” I whispered to myself, basking in the fact that she was mine. Then I kissed her again, holding her to me, and thrusting fast and hard like I promised in the beginning.

She responded immediately and came quickly, like her body had been on edge and waiting for the moment I finally let her come. She was squeezing so hard; I could feel her almost pushing me from her body. But we both knew I loved a good fight, so I pushed back inside of her harder and harder until I was releasing my cum into her in waves.

It seemed everlasting and with a new feeling of contentment that I had never felt with her before. Knowing we had jumped the hurdles, passed the roadblocks, and found our way to each other was making our connection that much sweeter.

I knew we still had a few more punches headed our way, but it felt freeing knowing that no matter the outcome, I had realized that she was worth the fight–just like Cam had hinted.

“I think Cam knows.”

“What?” She rose up from where she was laying on my chest running her fingers across the plane of my abs. We were laying together in my bed where we had been all week.

Rhys saw us come in after we had left the gym Tuesday night and he left me a text Wednesday morning telling me that since I seemed to be better and out of my funk, he was going to go back to Miami full time. Which made me happy since I was starting to think there was someone he wanted to go home for.

I had been too messed up in the previous few weeks to ask him about it, but I wasn't blind. He was distracted in his own way and his trips back to Miami seemed more frequent than doctor appointments would have been needed.

With that being said, Charleigh and I hadn't left the comfort of the penthouse since. But it was now Sunday, and I had to get back to work to prepare for our rematch with Chicago in our home stadium the next weekend.

“Cam?” Charleigh brought me back to earth with his name and I remembered I had started that conversation.

“Oh, yeah,” I pulled her back to my chest and ran my other hand through my hair. “I don't think he realizes it's you, but he knows I've been suffering from some sickness that only a woman could invoke.”

She giggled and pinched my side, making me laugh as well. It was unlike me, to laugh so unrestrained, but I had been doing it all week. At times, I didn't even recognize myself. I had been so focused on my career throughout my life that I had never had moments like I had with Charleigh.

We had ordered in food, watched movies, had a lot of sex, and now we were getting ready to do something I never dreamt I would ever do. We were about to watch football together.

Chicago didn't have the weekend off and I had told her I wanted to watch their game. I expected her to complain and not want to but instead she added, “Their quarterback used to play for Seattle, so it will be like a homecoming for him. I wonder how that will affect his pass game since Seattle’s defense is well attuned to his nuances?”

I had pulled her underneath me and fucked her hard after that, turned on by her insight. I knew a lot of women that sincerely loved football, but I knew very few women that knew the small details of the game that made it so strategic and fun. I was going to miss the game when I inevitably lost my job, but I would be content knowing it was for her.

“As much as I hate to say it,” I pulled the covers from her before I got hard again thinking about her football mind. “If we watch the game in bed, I will end up fucking you the whole time.”

She laughed again and made her way out of bed, strutting naked toward my bathroom. One look over her shoulder, inviting me to join her, was all it took for me to kick out of bed and chase her down. She sped up and squealed as I gave chase, catching her and picking her up into my arms.

When I settled us both into the shower, letting the water fall down over the top of us, and looking into her happy eyes, I knew I was in love.

Deep.

Fierce.

Intense.

Dangerous.

We had confessed as much when we settled the feelings between us at Bobby’s, but we had yet to repeat the words. I was tempted then and there, to make sure she knew that even though we were emerging out of our bubble and getting back to work that week, that I loved her and was positive I always had.

I held back, knowing there were still things we had to overcome, but I was confident that if we could get through the season, everything else could be handled between our careers. All I had to do was keep Richard away from her, and with a few false promises, I knew it could happen.

What I wasn't prepared for was how intense my feelings for Charleigh had become. So strong that I didn’t get past the next game before I threw the white flag in on my career.

Charleigh

Levi and I had both had to get back to the real world, which meant we could no longer spend every waking moment together. We did, however, manage to sneak in moments with the help of people that knew what was happening.
