After every game, I’ve convinced him to spend time with his team, always coming along at his request.
You give some, and you take some.
Tonight, though, I’m ready to celebrate just the two of us.
“Looking forward to it, captain,” I whisper back, quickly dragging my hand across his stomach.
Alexander gulps, his hands twitching.
When he reaches for me, I step away.
“Not yet, Alexander,” I say, smiling at him.
He drags a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.
I really need to have that talk with Henry; my man is hanging by a thread.
“You better be ready, baby.” And with that, he takes off towards the locker room.

We’re nearing the top of our hike in Colorado, and a breathtaking view is in front of me.
After a nice breakfast out in the city, we decided to conquer the nearest mountain before we take a shower back at the hotel and pack up before flying back to Chicago this evening.
Alexander reaches me, squeezing my ass before draping his arms across my chest.
“Fucking finally. Who knew hiking could be this hard? My only motivation for the last mile was your ass in front of me,” he says, making me roll my eyes—such a guy.
Hiking is a different form of exercise that neither of us is used to.
Going uphill has been tough, but the reward is all worth it.
I gaze out over the landscape, enjoying the spring air and the comfortable warmth from Alexander behind me.
“Do you ever think about something other than sex, ass, and boobs?” I ask him.
“Yeah, it mostly involves you, rings, babies, and dogs.”
My breath catches in my throat.
He leans down and kisses my cheek.
“Not yet, baby. But I’m excited about what our future holds. You do want children?”
I soak in his words; he still manages to surprise me every day. And I love him so much for it.
“Yeah, I’d like that,” I say, leaning back into his body, imagining our future.
I want several children.
Growing up as a single child was nice, but seeing Alexander and his relationship with his brothers seems special. I’d want my children to have someone else to play with. I also know that Alexander wants as many as I’m willing to carry.
One thing is certain: I can’t wait to see what our future holds.
