I've always enjoyed the media. I've been good to them, giving them lots of quotable material and, in return, they've always been good to me. The downfall to having such a good rapport is that I'm sacrificed to the media after big losses. The organization knows that I represent well. Unlike some of my teammates who pout, grumble, or walk away from interviews all together, I make myself, general sportsmanship, and the team look good.
"What are your thoughts on the Almos' taunting penalty?"
I intertwine my fingers and take a breath. This is the fifth question on the taunting call. "Was Marcus excited about his touchdown? Yes, absolutely. As he should be. It was a great play and one that would have clinched the game for us. Do I think he was taunting? No. I've never known him to do that. I think his excitement bubbled over. Taunting calls are hard. When they favor you, it's victory, when they set you back, as this one did, it's very frustrating and feels unfair."
"What are you going to do now? Big plans for the off season?"
I smile to myself. Yes, big plans. Very, very big plans.

The plane ride is quiet.
It was a hard loss. Marcus hasn't lifted his head since we left the locker room. We've mostly left him alone. There is nothing we can do but give him time. In a few days, we'll swing by with a case of beer and some food.
I fidget with my phone. Instead of texting Loren, I unlock it and stare at his smile on my homescreen. He didn't make the game.
'I don't know shit about football. I'd rather watch it at home with the guys than take a seat from someone who waited their whole life to be at that stadium.'
I sigh like the lovesick fool I am. He's so wonderful and generous. Who else would give up their spot at the Superbowl?
It's been a long week apart and I miss him like crazy. I'm anxious to see him. The protective side of me was ready to tell the team to fuck off because I wasn't leaving him a few short days after learning of his terrible horrible, awful past. There was still so much residual emotion and it felt like I was abandoning him. He rolled his eyes when I told him I wasn't leaving him, that I wasn't getting on the plane.
He was smiling when he dropped me off. He probably got off knowing it was killing me to leave him, but he sure didn't have a problem calling Marcus and Garrett over to drag me away kicking and screaming.
The plane can't land soon enough. I can't wait to get back to him. The overwhelming need to know he's okay is clawing me from the inside.
There is also the small detail that we'll be having sex now that the season is over. That's playing a big part, too.
The suit they make us wear while traveling feels constricting in a way it never has before. I can't wait to get it off, or maybe have Loren take it off for me.
It's all very conflicting.

Water drips onto my shoulder, leaving dark spots on my shirt. I press my palms on the counter and stare at my reflection. Loren is on his way. He'll be here in less than thirty minutes. I take a deep breath. Am I under dressed? I don't think I need a suit and tie but sleepwear is too casual, even if it is from Loren's line. Jeans seem like a pain and khakis have very little give should we end up with our clothes on for a while.
Will we get straight to business or hangout for a bit?
Is he expecting me to have dinner ready? Because I don't. I have a few prepped meals or I can have something delivered.
When he gets here, should I attack him? Rip his clothes off and ravage him? Or take it slow?
I slap my face. This is embarrassing. I haven't overthought sex like this since I was in highschool.
I comb my hair then mess it up because I don't want to look too eager. The bulge in my pants kind of gives that away. It wouldn't be a terrible idea to rub one out real quick. It would only take a minute.
Ugh. But that would take away from the experience.
That's enough, Jay!
I step back from the mirror and take a breath. It's just sex.
I jump when the doorbell rings and my heart rate spikes through the damn roof. I head to the landing and exhale slowly. "
It's open
," I shout casually, like it's no big deal. Maybe it's the UPS man, maybe its Loren coming to have sex.
When the bell rings again, I jog down the stairs in case his hands are full, but Loren's not holding anything at all, he's just standing there looking like a fresh piece of meat with a fuck-me haircut, fitted jeans, and a tight jersey with my number on it.
He looks up at me and grins. "
Ohmygod, it's Jay Petermeyer."
He swoons, the back of his hand on his forehead and--southern accent
?
He bats his big, innocent brown eyes. "I am such a big fan."
I try not to laugh. "What are you doing?"
"I hope it's okay that I followed you home. I know it's not exactly proper but I thought maybe I could come in and..." he flutters his lashes. I open the door and his hand grazes my chest as he breezes by. He looks around the house in awe. "Your home is sooo beautiful." When he's done looking, he turns to me and pouts and runs his hands over my chest. "You must be stressed after a
hard
loss like that. I bet I could find a way to help you out. If you'd like. I'm sure you get propositioned all the time but, don't worry, I'm real discreet. You just relax now, no one will ever know." His eyelashes flutter again, ridiculously over exaggerated this time
As dorky as he's being, it's doing it for me. Loren drops to his knees and pulls my pants down until my dick is freed. His tongue licks from the base to the tip, swirling the thick head like an oversized lollipop.
Loren, on his knees, in my jersey, sucking my dick.
Fuuuuuck.
I lose my damn mind.
I reach out and touch his hair, his neck, and run them across his shoulders. He squeezes my ass, forcing me deeper in his mouth. The jersey hugs his shoulders and biceps like a wet dream.
He looks at me and, with his lips stretched around my cock, he smiles. Then he bobs his head, swirling his tongue around me. I hold his head, feeling him move up and down.
"Oh damn," I moan. "That feels good."
Loren pulls off with a
pop
and frowns. "Just good?"
I breathe hard.
He pulls my pants all the way down and I step out of them. Then he stands up, running his hands up my body as he goes, catching the hem of my shirt and pulling off.
"If I suck you until you cum, can you get hard again?"
"I can stay hard," I promise him, practically panting. "Won't go soft."
He pushes me back on the sectional, drops to his knees, and takes me back in his mouth. He's on a mission and it's one I very much approve of.
