Chewing on my lower lip, I tucked my legs underneath me. Was I hallucinating? Was I still reading my book and this was the book boyfriend being utterly perfect? Because for sure there was no way that Jamie Rheems just texted me that.

I’ll have you know the biggest hit of this away series was a triple

So I get to go to your third base

My mouth has been watering at the thought of you spread out for me to feast upon

Or is it my third base to have your lips on my cock again?

I don’t know how this works

Foras many smutty books I’d read, nothing, and I mean fuckingnothing, could have ever come close to the words on my phone screen and the immediate inferno that engulfed my insides. I mean…fuck. I’d left the third base promise a bit ambiguous, but I was more than happy with either choice he asked for.

My hand shot down to my lap and I pressed my fingers against my searing hot center in a vain attempt to quell the ache. If that was Jamie’s siren song, my body definitely heard it.

All thanks to you and those delicious promises

So I owe you

Name your price

Anything

The man was asking me what I wanted? My body tingled with the implications. He left it open, so it didn’t have to be something sexual. As much as I really wanted it to be, I had something tame, but firmly in my kink column, in mind.

You in your uniform next time we hang out

Done

See you in 20

Wait, 20? As intwenty minutes? I knew the guys were due home today. They had a report time of 8 AM tomorrow for practice. But were they that close? If so, I was woefully unprepared.

My heart began to race. Shit, I wasn’t in any state to intimately entertain the hottest man on the planet. I hadn’t shaved my legs in a few days, and I was probably a day overdue for a shower. Scrambling off the couch, I did a whirling dervish quick clean of my apartment on the way to the bathroom.

I did laundry a few days ago, so there were fresh sheets on the bed, but the rest of the wash hadn’t been folded yet. Depositing the haphazard pile of laundry into my closet, I shut the door behind me and moved to quickly make my bed. It wasn’t the tidiest job but at least it didn’t look like I spent most of the day in it.

Making a beeline for my shower, I did a rapid scrub down from head to toe. I took my time shaving my legs as I didn’t exactly want tiger stripes of blood running down from careless nicks. I was just about finished with blow-drying my hair when I heard the knock at the door.

Cursing, I nearly tripped on the cord as I made a mad dash out of my bathroom. Realizing I was still naked, I grabbed one of my oversized tees from my dresser and shoved it on. As much as I would have been completely fine with answering the door in only what I was born with, I didn’t want to havethatembarrassing conversation later with my neighbors if they caught me.

Quickly combing my fingers through my hair, I answered the door as my breath halted in my chest. Jamie was a fucking vision before me. Some women loved a man in a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

My kink was a man in a baseball uniform.

The heat and intensity of Jamie’s gaze almost sent the cotton of my t-shirt up in flames. The man hadn’t even touched me yet, but he devoured me with his eyes alone. I subconsciously pressed my bare thighs together as I felt the heat in my cheeks.

“Hey.”

“Hey.” Our signature timid greeting. This was the first time after a week of not being together. Would we just fall back into our dirty habits, or would we have to start all over again with this delicious push and pull?

I didn’t have to wait long to quench my curiosity. There was only a moment of quiet before Jamie sucked in a quick breath. His hand shot out, grabbing the side of my neck as he pulled me to him for a searing quick kiss. Stumbling back, still locked in our kiss, I wordlessly allowed him access to my apartment before closing the door behind him.

“I missed you, Cady.” His sentiment was barely above a breathless whisper as he hovered close to me. “Games just…aren’t the same without you by the dugout. And the nights were too quiet without you moaning in my ear.” The words warmed me slowly from the inside out, much like a mug of hot coffee on a cold day.

“Now that you’re back I’m sure I’ll be annoying you in no time.” I breathed out, still in utter disbelief that this beautiful specimen missed me.

My quip gave us a breather from the sexual tension that almost suffocated us in my tiny entryway. Jamie chuckled as his hands moved away from dangerous territory for the moment. It gave me a chance to catch my breath after my awkward sprintto answer the door followed by the mutual eye fucking.
