“You’re fucking late, Silas! Get your ass on this field, right now! What the hell are you doing in there, standing around? Get- Monroe? Is that you?” Coach Hogan let out a loudwhoopand threw his hat in the air. “Thank fuck! Get your ass out here, Harper Monroe, and get back to work!”
Silas groaned. “Told you. He likes you so much more than he likes us.”
Walking out onto the field was like going home again. I loved the turf underfoot and the lights overhead. The metal stands on every side, the scent of sweat in the air, it was all a special kind of home. I was so busy enjoying the grass that it took me a few seconds to realize a small stampede of men in pads were running at me.
“Good grief.” Silas grunted. “This is embarrassing.”
Vance got to me first. He wrapped me in a hug and spun me around. “Harper! It’s about fucking time! We need you, woman. Coach hates us without you.”
After I’d been passed around by more of the team, I was plopped down in front of Coach Hogan. He put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed. “Good to have you back, kid. Next time I see you letting a bunch of bullies get to you, I’ll kick your ass myself. You’re too good for them and you know it. Now, get to work. These guys have been fucking awful lately.”
65.
***Harper***
Coach rode the team hard and after two practices, we were all so exhausted that night that it was all we could do to eat takeout and crawl into bed. No one had energy to talk or touch more than it took to cuddle in bed. We woke up the next morning and had to eat breakfast on the way to the field again. The game started at two in the afternoon but Coach wasn’t letting up on the guys after the game they’d played the week before.
I knew the guys’ families were at the game but I didn’t get a chance to see them. I was too nervous to look at the stands and chance seeing people pointing and gawking at me. The game started and I was glued to my team. I worked out cramps and took care of minor injuries while watching every bit of the game I could. If I hadn’t known for a fact that the team had played likeshit the last two weeks I wouldn’t have believed it after watching them play that day. They were on fire.
A game that was predicted to be a neck and neck battle ended up being a blowout. Our team was back and they were out for blood. After the last play of the game, I was on the sidelines screaming my head off with everyone else. It was thrilling and when I saw my guys on the field, helmets held high as they celebrated, I was able to forget about everything else.
“Give me a hug, Monroe!”
I turned around and screamed when Coach wrapped his arms around me just as a few of the guys came up behind him with a full jug of water. I got soaked just as much as Coach and when he pulled back, wide grin in place, I scoffed at him. “You’re just a big child, aren’t you?”
He laughed and patted me on the head with his playbook before looking over my shoulder. “Here comes your calvary, Monroe. I expect you here on Monday afternoon. No more missing my practices.”
I didn’t get to fully turn around before I was swept off my feet and tossed over a wide shoulder. It only took one look at the tight uniform pants for me to know it was Dylan who had me.
His hand came down on my ass as he let out a loud battle cry. “Time to celebrate, baby!”
“Woo-hoo!”
“Get a room!”
“Don’t do anything we wouldn’t do!”
The shouts from the other guys on the team made me blush but the heavy feeling of shame didn’t come. I grinned into Dylan’s back and held on tight as he ran off the field with me. Silas and Carter were right behind, their heavy breathing the only sounds they made. They didn’t take the time to change out of their uniforms and pads or shower; they just ran straight tothe team parking lot and tossed me into the backseat of Dylan’s truck. I’d barely righted myself when Dylan sped out of the lot.
Carter buckled me in and then captured my face in his hands before kissing me. I tasted his sweat on his lips but it just turned me on even more. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and growled. “You told Silas you loved him.”
I gasped when he pushed his hand between my thighs and cupped my sex. “I love you, too! I love all of you.”
Dylan growled from the front seat. “You’re ours, Harper. You won’t run from us again.”
The game and the win had left them more beast than men and I loved it. I knew we were close to the house so I unbuckled myself and climbed into Carter’s lap. Tangling my tongue with his, I ground my hips into his, desperate to give as much as they were to take.
“Goddammit, princess.” Silas’ hand came down hard on my ass. “Drive slower, Dylan. Someone doesn’t respect safety laws.”
“You have too many clothes on.” I pushed at Carter’s pads and growled. “Off.”
Maybe they weren’t the only ones affected by the game. I was desperate to feel them skin to skin. I wanted everything they’d give me and more. I wanted to give them all of me.
I was so wrapped up in kissing Carter and getting him out of his clothes that I didn’t notice we’d parked at the house. Silas reached into the backseat and snatched me away from Carter. I just wrapped myself around him and kissed him instead.
Somehow they managed to climb the stairs with me clinging to them and then we were in Dylan’s bedroom. Silas tossed me on the bed and I bounced up on my knees to watch as they fought their way out of the heavy pads they wore. They didn’t stop until they were naked in front of me, cocks hard and stretching for me.
“Strip, princess.” Silas gripped his cock and stroked it. “Now.”
