Off Sides

CHAPTER 11




Ryan



Apparently, tonight's the night. I hope it's not happening too fast for Danny. It's certainly not happening too fast for me but I feel like a teenage boy getting ready to have sex for the first time. I'm apprehensive and excited all at the same time. And I don't mean horny excited, although I'm sure I'll get there. I'm excited to be with Danny in this way because then she'll be truly mine.

Danny opens the door to her apartment and we walk in. She flips on the lights and lays her purse down. I stand there with my hands in my pockets watching her. She turns and the look on her face is one of nervousness and it makes me doubt what we've set out to do tonight.

I walk to her and cup her cheek. She takes in a shaky breath and smiles at me tremulously.

"Ryan..." she whispers.

"Sshhh...we don't have to do this tonight," I assure her.

She gives a slight shake to her head, closing her eyes briefly. When she opens them back up, the anxiety is gone and in its place is desire. It makes my heart trip over and my body harden with anticipation.

"I was going to say that I want you so much it scares me," she murmurs as she reaches on her tip toes to place a soft kiss on my mouth. My eyes close and I inhale deeply. I clench the fist that's still hanging down by my hips, otherwise, I might grab her and throw her over my shoulder like a caveman. I let my breath out in shaky spurts.



Danny



My entire body is trembling over the way Ryan is looking at me right now. With nothing more than a soft touch to my face, I'm already a hot mess of firing nerves. I want this so badly that the depth of my need scares me. If I could crawl into Ryan's skin right now, I would...just to be closer to him.

Ryan puts his hands on my hips and draws me closer to him. My hands go to his chest and curl into his shirt. He's wearing a light blue, button down shirt and dress pants since the players have to wear formal attire on game day. His jacket and tie are in his car, tossed haphazardly in the back. He smells of spicy body wash and I put my nose to his chest and inhale deeply.

"Danny?"

"Mmmmm?" My lips are to his chest so I can't give a more complete answer.

"Is this your first time?"

My cheeks flame a little red as I nod. "Am I that obvious?"

Ryan tucks his hand under my chin and draws my face up to look at him. "Not at all. I was merely hoping I’d be your first."

My mouth curves into a smile because the look he is giving me is one of possessiveness and craving. "It's the right time, Ryan. I want you to be my first...my only."

Ryan groans at my words and captures my mouth. It's demanding and sweet all at the same time. Pulling back he looks at me, bringing his fingers to graze over my lips. "I'm a little nervous. We'll go slow because I don't want to hurt you."

I shake my head and giggle. "I'm a twenty-one year old virgin who has been fairly athletic most of her life. I doubt I have much of a hymen for you to shred."

Ryan chuckles as he swoops back down for a quick kiss before he pulls back. "Stay right here and then come back to your room in about five minutes, okay?"

I nod my head. He starts down my hall but then turns to look back. "Where's Paula?"

I shrug my shoulders. "She said she'd see me back here but she may have decided to be scarce. I think she knows I plan on seducing you tonight."

"Is that so?"

"That's so. Now hurry...your five minutes is ticking."



Ryan



Danny is a virgin and she's chosen to give that sacred gift to me. I'm beyond honored and now ridiculously nervous all over again. I don't want to hurt her and I want to make sure I pleasure the hell out of her. The responsibility is heavy but I'm up to the task. Literally.

I get busy setting up her room. I turn on her lamp with the red scarf over it and turn the rest of the lights off. I pull out my iPhone and hook it to her alarm clock stereo. I scroll through my playlists, finally choosing some Jill Scott and turn it down enough so we can just hear the beat. Putting a condom on the bedside table, I sit on the edge of the bed and put my head in my hands. I want this to be so f*cking perfect for her.



Danny



I slowly open the door and my breath catches. Ryan is sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. I'm fearful that he is regretting this but then he looks up at me and my knees almost buckle from the heat in his eyes. They seem to be glowing like new pennies in the soft red light from my lamp.

He holds his hand out to me and I walk toward him. Locking his hand around my wrist, he pulls me forward until I'm standing between his legs. Placing a kiss on the palm of my hand, he releases it to wrap his arms around my waist and lays his head against my breasts. My arms automatically come up and wrap around his head, holding him tightly to me.

I don't know how long we stay like that but I tune into our mutual breathing which is slow and heavy. Finally, Ryan pulls his head back and looks at me. His hair flops boyishly over his forehead and is hanging over his eyes. I brush it back so I can see him.

"Danny, I'm falling in love with you. I just...need you to know that."

I smile at him and I can feel my eyes misting. "I'm already there. Glad you caught up."

I say those words without hesitation because the realization hits me overwhelmingly that I am hopelessly and completely in love with Ryan. And I could give a shit that we have known each other for only a week. There are no doubts for me. I may choose to regret the speed with which this is happening later in my life, but I won't regret it now.



Ryan



My chest literally swells and expands to the point where I think it might explode. Danny loves me? Danny loves me! And that realization makes me happier than any moment I can even remember in my entire life. About the closest thing I can compare it to is when I got recruited to play at Northeastern and even that feeling fizzles compared to this.

Standing from the bed, I hoist Danny up to my waist and her legs grip me tightly. I turn and kneel on the bed, taking her with me. Covering her body completely, I begin to kiss her. Long slow strokes, rimming the inside of her teeth, licking her lips, pulling on her tongue. She is moaning softly and her fingers are dug firmly into my shoulders. I want her to dig harder so I move down her throat, lightly sucking on her collarbone.

Danny turns her head to the side so her lips are near my ear and whispers, "More.” She flexes her fingers into me a bit harder.

I pull away from her and kneel between her legs. Reaching down to cup the back of her head, I pull her into a sitting position and whip the jersey and her t-shirt over her head in one swift move. She's wearing a black bra made of lace and it looks sinful.

While I'm gripping the back of her head and gazing at her breasts, Danny reaches up and starts to unbutton my shirt.



Danny



My hands are shaking with the need to touch Ryan's bare chest. I slowly work the buttons open and then peel the material back and off of his shoulders. He's wearing a plain white t-shirt underneath. I lean forward and place a kiss in the center of his chest, my lips burning from the heat coming off his skin and through the cotton material.

Ryan scoots off the bed and stands. He shrugs his dress shirt off and pulls his t-shirt over his head. Then he stands straight and undoes his belt buckle. My pulse freezes for a split second then it jackhammers into overdrive. Ryan is stripping in front of me. I'm all at once shy and hungry. Do I stare? Do I avert my eyes?

I opt for stare.

Ryan holds my eyes as he removes his belt. He toes his shoes off and bends quickly to remove his socks. Before going further, he reaches over and pulls my shoes and socks off, taking time to lightly run a finger of each instep. Goosebumps spread over my body and I try hard not to giggle. He grins mischievously at me before straightening back up.

And then his look turns serious as he starts to unzip his pants. I swallow hard but my mouth just waters again. My eyes can't help it but they leave his gaze and travel downward. Like a dream, he reveals himself slowly to me and I think he is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. He's both hard and soft, soft and rough. The hard planes of his body synchronize perfectly with gentle curve of his biceps, his ass, his shoulder. I want to run my lips over every square inch.

I glance back up at him and I can see a muscle ticking in his jaw as he watches me shamelessly ogle him. I curve my mouth upward in a grin and he responds before he bends over the button of my jeans. I can't help but look down again at that hard part of him that will very soon be sunk deeply into me and I hunger for him.



Ryan



My blood is pumping so hard through my body that I hope I don't have a coronary. When Danny's gaze travels from my eyes to my dick, I'm surprised I don't come right there by the way she's devouring me. My breathing increases and I feel like the earth tilts further on its axis.

I bend over Danny and work her jeans open. Her belly button piercing glimmers in the soft light and I lightly run my tongue over it. She arches into me and I feel her hands lightly in my hair.

Pulling her jeans down, I see the briefest hint of the lacey black panties she's wearing and I swear I get harder. When her jeans hit the floor, I crawl up her body and settle between her legs. Her hands are back in my hair and we kiss again, both trying to savor the moment. But it doesn't take long before our tongues move fervently and a groan rumbles out of me when Danny moves her hips against mine.

Her hands are turning insistent, tugging on my hair, digging into my scalp. She may draw blood and I find I want her to. I love my sweet Danny but right now I want the part of her that's dyed and pierced to come through. She grinds her hips up against me and moans. Aaahh...there she is.

I rear back and roughly command her take off her bra. She sits up and does so without question, her eyes shimmering with lust. I grab the edges of her panties and pull them down her legs and fling them aside. Kneeling between her legs, I do nothing but just look at her. I let my eyes roam and feast, memorizing the path I intend for my lips to take.

I look to her navel.

Yes, I think I'll start there.



Danny



Ryan bends over me and my breath hitches when he kisses my stomach. He runs his tongue over my piercing and his long hair falls to my stomach, tickling and burning me at the same time. I thread my fingers through his hair and sigh.

Then his tongue drags across my belly to my hip bone. He sucks hard and I gasp. His mouth becomes soft and he licks me like a bowl of cream.

Ryan moves everywhere below my stomach. Kisses to the inner most part of my thigh while his fingers dig into the globes of my ass. He's getting closer to that most intimate part of my body and I let out a husky shout when he finally makes contact. And then I'm spinning out of control.

My body is coiled tight like a snake about to strike and the pleasure is so overwhelming I feel like I’m going to burst into tears of joy. I'm on the edge and I want to fall. Unable to tell where his lips end and his tongue starts, Ryan murmurs against me, "Let go, Danny," and I take the plunge over the cliff. I can't help myself but I scream out and I think it's Ryan's name that falls from my lips but I can't be sure. My body is quaking, little shocks of pleasure still coursing through me. All I know is that I've just experienced the most physically intense sensation of my life and I've verified that I am indeed a screamer.



Ryan



Danny tastes sweeter than I ever could have ever imagined and I can't imagine anything hotter than when she comes. I place a few more soft kisses on her belly and then I raise up. Her eyes are soft, shimmering. I reach over and grab the condom, opening the wrapper and tossing it aside. As I start to put it on, Danny reaches out and softly says, "Let me."

She takes the condom and my hands fall to the side. She's awkward and fumbling but my heart is lost to her over the fact that she wants to do this. When she first touches me, a low guttural sound erupts from my chest and I jerk in her hands. She gently finishes her task but she continues to stroke me and my eyes practically roll in the back of my head.

Pulling her hands away, I put them over her head and hold them with one hand. I lay between her legs and press against her. As I lean down to her mouth, I whisper, "I love you" before plunging my tongue into her. She meets my desire and her legs fall further open. I slowly, gently rock into her while we continue to kiss.

Her breath is coming out in harsh pants and I move my head to her neck. I grit my teeth over the intense pleasure and with one more firm move of my hips, I'm fully seated. I pull up to look at her and her face is flushed with pleasure.

"Are you okay?"

She nods, her teeth holding on to her bottom lip, her eyes half closed.

And then we start to move.

Our hands are roaming as we both try to cover every inch of flesh that we can. My head moves to her breasts while her hands dig into my shoulders. I'm moving faster, harder within her and I feel a slow burn begin at the base of my spine. I'm not going to last much longer.

"Danny, I want you to come again," I pant with a particularly hard thrust.

She answers me with a small cry, and then her fingers dig into my shoulders as she comes apart. It's all over for me and I explode inside of her. I swear, my vision goes black for just a second, then Danny's beautiful face comes into clear focus.

My lust is completely spent but my heart is full. Danny's fingers skim lightly over my lips and she says, "That was f*cking awesome." I bust out laughing and squeeze my girl to me, reveling in the feel of her skin against mine.
