Page 16 of A Reason to Try

“Go out with me, steady like.”

“Are you serious? What are you talking about?” she asked, her face adorably scrunched up in confusion.

“Dating. You and me. We agree to see each other exclusively,” I said, grabbing her by the waist and dragging her across my lap.

She dropped the blanket, wrapping her legs around me as she nuzzled my nose. Her lips parted. The feel of her hot sex sliding up and down my shaft was too enticing to ignore.

“You’re crazy,” she murmured.

“About you,” I growled, nipping her lip between my teeth.

She flexed her hips, rubbing herself on me. Coating me in her juices and I kissed her mouth. My lips were hard and relentless, seeking absolution only she could give.

“Oh God, Dane. That feels so good,” she moaned as I slid my dick along her slit, rubbing myself on her needy little clit.

“You can’t deny this is good, eh? You and me. Like magic,” I whispered.

“Please,” she begged, but I stayed her with my hands on her hips.

“Say yes, Caro Darlin’. Say you’ll do it. You’ll go out with me,” I said, sliding my hand between us and pressing two digits into her ready sheath.

“You don’t mean it.”

“I mean it, Carolina. Fuck, you’re so wet,” I groaned, her need soaking my skin, making me pant with lust.

“This is madness. You’ll get tired of me.”

“Never. I promise.”

“How can you be sure?” she whimpered as I dragged my fingers in and out of her torturously slow, using my thumb to rub small circles around her needy little nubbin.

“Because I believe everything happens for a reason. I thought God hated me, making me come to America to coach a sport I thought had given up on me. But I see the truth now. When they told me I was going to Carolina, they didn’t mean Consequence. They meant to you. My Carolina.”

Her eyes glittered with unshed tears, and I had a split second of real fear when I thought she’d deny me, deny us. But then she smiled. And the whole fucking world tilted on its axis.

“Okay. You’re right. I can’t deny this.”

“Are you saying yes?”

“Yes. I am saying yes,” she said, plastering her mouth to mine.

Carolina reached behind me for a condom, tearing the package open and sliding it on my cock. Never breaking our kiss, she put it on, then used my chest to lean on as she raised herself up and placed me at her entrance.

“So fucking perfect,” I groaned as she took me inside her hot curvy body, making me a part of her.

Epilogue-Carolina

“Mr. Barret!”

“Are you excited about the upcoming exhibition game against Anthem?”

“Mr. Barret, why does Carolina have two teams?”

“Coach Barret, who’s the woman you arrived with? I thought you were a bonafide bachelor?”

“Are you single, Coach?”

“I heard you two moved in together after knowing each other for just one day! Is that true, Coach?
