did we continue our conversation.
“I got you something.” He pulled out a small, velvet box.
I slowly opened it, not knowing what to expect. Brilliant diamond earrings sparkled against the black, jewelry box. They were large, pear shaped diamonds that easily cost more than I could fathom, not the tiny studs you find at a mall store when you get your ears pierced. My jaw dropped. “Steel, they’re gorgeous. I can’t accept these. They’re so… it’s too much.”
“Not too much for the girl that I love,” he corrected.
I didn’t know what to say. They were extravagant, more than I deserved. “I…”
“Kira helped me pick them out,” he added.
“Really?” I was blown away. I thought she didn’t – or thought I was a – it didn’t matter.
“She pointed to a smaller version of these, so I knew to upsize them, because she can be stingy. Besides, she’s not in love with you like I am,” he said with a boyish grin.
“You’re sure?” I hesitantly asked.
He nodded. “Of course, they can’t match your brilliance, but they’ll give you some competition.”
I reached out and stroked his arm. “You really are too good for me.”
He arched an eyebrow, not sure what to make of the comment. “That’s ridiculous.”
“Everything you’ve done for me; I’ll never be able to thank you enough. I wouldn’t be where I am today…” I was getting mushy and couldn’t finish. Teary wasn’t my thing, so I brushed my arm over my eyes and turned to look out the window.
He placed his hand on my thigh. “It’s all good, babe.”

We didn’t see it coming. There was no way to know. We’d reached a tipping point. I didn’t need to be rescued anymore. He didn’t need to save me. Something changed.
Chapter 14
Training camp snuck up on us. As the men reported for duty, Steel hardened. He needed to be in the right state of mind. Being soft wouldn’t do. It was as if a light switch flipped from the off to on position.
He was focused and driven. While he loved football, there was a lot of pressure on him. The Red Hawks paid a good sum for him, and he didn’t want to let them down. He’d already brought bad press.
I poked the bear, teasing him about the changes.
“I’m not the same during football season,” he warned. “I know we met during that time, but this is different. Now that I’m playing, it gets intense. I get intense.”
“I can handle intense.” I stroked his shoulder. I was up on my side, my head on my pillow. I loved being next to him in bed. It was my favorite place to be.
Steel pulled me into him. “Don’t forget how much I love you.”
“You make it sound as if you’re going off to war,” I said. It was football, not a battle in another land. It was a game, right? I understood it was his job, but still… he wasn’t curing cancer.
Steel’s hands roamed the curves of my body. Slipping a hand over my hip, he guided me up and over him. I straddled his thick, muscled thighs. His cock was stiff and ready for me. I leaned forward and kissed him, then backed onto the hardened head of his cock. I pressed down and groaned. His dick spread my lips open and impaled me. Such pleasure. I loved how our bodies fit together.
Steel moaned and held me in place. “Wait, I just want to feel you there for a minute. You’re so wet, baby.”
When he was inside of me, I felt complete. Slowly, we molded into one another, my hips grinding, and his thrusting from below. We found our motion as our bodies tangled together. Steel held me fast, then rolled so I was on my back. Once over me, he pummeled deep and hard with his cock. I wrapped my thighs up and over him, locking on. I couldn’t get enough of him.
On release, we collapsed. He pulled out, but still kept me close. Our lips brushed together, and we drank, kissed, partook, nibbled and caressed one another, not wanting to let go.
He suckled the sweet skin on my neck. Somehow our lips met again, and in a heated kiss he broke
