Quarterback Sneak Read online

  “It’s cool, I understand.” It hurt her to say, but a part of her couldn’t let it go. “Your fan club awaits.” Galynn tried to step around him as she stood watching her with concerned eyes, but she wasn’t going to let this happen again. She wasn’t going to let her heart be shattered. Not by someone who had gone through each and every one of his groupies. Definitely not.

  The girl’s footsteps were approaching from behind her. She gave Alceo credit; he kept his eyes trained on her despite their impending advance.

  Surprise is an accurate enough word to describe how she felt when Alceo’s hand grasped the sides of her face and pulled her closer. The kiss was tender and persistent, claiming her mouth as his. Everything had melted away, the sound of shocked shrieks from his fan club, the knot in her stomach, and the doubts in her mind.

  Alceo’s hands moved from her face to her sides. She could feel him pressing her closer to him as his hands roamed over her clothes. She could feel the heat of his embrace and the presence of his hardening cock as he pulled her closer still. “How could I possibly want anyone else?” Alceo whispered in her ear as he separated his lips from hers and wound his fingers in her hair. “How could I?”

  Her head fell against his chest as he cradled it there, and she could feel the steady thrumming of his heart.

  Maybe this was possible.

  “What the fuck?” Jasmine exclaimed from right behind Galynn.

  “Ladies,” Alceo said, with his arms still wrapped around Galynn. “I am a taken man. Delete my number if you have it. Forget about me. Galynn Pierce is the only woman I want.”

  Galynn’s shocked expression matched that of his groupies as she pulled her head back to search his eyes. She found everything waiting there for her along with a smile.

  “Isn’t that right, gorgeous?” He asked her. When she didn’t say anything, he nudged her with his cock. “Don’t leave me hanging in front of all these people, Galynn. I’m yours aren’t I?”

  Galynn slowly nodded as someone in the crowd screamed, “Oh hell no.” But to them, Alceo smiled and said, “Oh hell yes.”

  As if to make it more official, he stood back from Galynn and pulled off his class ring he had stored in his gym bag during practice. “I want you to wear this. This way, you will always be reminded of me.” She looked down at her hand stunned. “Tell me you’re not upset because you think it’s ugly.”

  Galynn smiled and nodded no. Alceo smiled and glanced back at her hand. It was big on her, so he tried her middle finger. It fit but it was still looser than he would have liked.

  Galynn stood staring at the ring as Jasmine started cursing behind her. They both ignored her as he kissed her again and slung his arm around his shoulder.

  Galynn snuggled in close as they turned their back to his rejected admirers. “Don’t worry about the ring, baby, I will get it resized for you.”

  Galynn didn’t know what to say, so she reached up on her tiptoes and kissed him again.

  Chapter 6

  Jasmine watched in disbelief as Galynn and Alceo walked away, his arm tightly wrapped around her shoulders. She would have laughed if this weren’t so tragic.

  “What the fuck just happened?”

  “Did he just say what I think he did?”

  Jasmine turned to the girls flanking her sides. “Shut up. This has to be a game. There is no way that he is with her. No way in hell.”

  “Uh, Jazz,” the red head hesitated.

  “Shut the hell up. I have come too far and sucked too many dicks for him to just walk away from me like this. There is no way in hell this is over. That fat bitch has no idea what she’s just done.”

  Jasmine turned to the girls. “I have an idea.”

  ---

  Alceo didn’t look back and neither did Galynn, although she wanted too more than anything in world. She could feel Jasmine’s eyes boring a hole into the back of her skull, but that just made her smile.

  “You realize that I can never go back to my room. I’m going to have to find a new roommate, buy new clothes, basically drop off the face of the earth.”

  “Stop it, you will not. Just give it a few days, and she will calm down and move on.”

  Galynn snorted. Apparently, he knew nothing of his committed stalker.

  Jasmine didn’t bother to watch the two lovebirds walk off into the sunset hand in hand. She had shit to do. She turned to the rest of the girls, some of which were still waiting for other players to come from the locker room. The girls stood staring at Jasmine in confusion - how could that fat bitch have stolen the most eligible player right from under their noses?

  Jasmine could feel the dejection in the air, and refused to succumb to it. She snapped the girls from their thoughts and began laying out her plans.

  It took Jasmine 20 minutes to explain everything to the girls, another 15 to make sure they all knew exactly what they were supposed to do. The plan was simple, but no one had ever called any of the girls smart. She spent two hours in her dorm room printing out pictures and filling a small cardboard box with all the things she would need. If Galynn really wanted Alceo, she was going to get him and everything that came with him.

  --

  The walk back to Alceo’s was long and cold. Too cold. Galynn felt naked, but she was warmed each and every time Alceo looked at her. It took them fifteen minutes to reach Alceo’s dorm, and when they finally did, Galynn couldn’t have felt happier. Not for the fact that it was warm in there, but for the fact that she could finally let out the breath she had been holding. She felt as though the other shoe were going to drop. As if Alceo were toying with her emotions, his brave and strange display in front of other, obviously more qualified girls was just a show to break her heart. But, much to her surprise, nothing happened. They walked back to his place hand in hand.

  “Now what?” she asked when the door to his room was finally shut safely behind them.

  “What do you mean?”

  “I mean, now what? All things considered, I have no place to live and I no longer have any clothes. I’m pretty sure that all my stuff will either be shredded or burned when I go back.”

  Alceo smiled. “Stop being so dramatic.”

  Galynn rolled her eyes.

  “Clearly, you have no idea how mentally disturbed and detached Jasmine is from reality. I’m not saying that she’s crazy or anything, but the girl is quite dedicated.”

  Alceo laughed. “I don’t care how dedicated or detached she is. Here,” he said as he handed Galynn some sweats and a t-shirt. “Wear this.”

  “I have no underwear,” she replied as heat began to creep into her face.

  “Well, you have that delicious thong you are wearing - other than that, I think that’s all you will be needing.”

  “Really? And what makes you think that?”

  “I have plans,” he responded without turning back to look at her.

  Cautiously, Galynn watched Alceo’s back and made the decision to hurry and change while he couldn’t see her. She knew she was being ridiculous. He had seen her naked; had sex with him in full view of anyone that was willing to look, but still - she didn’t want him to see what he was getting and change his mind.

  “What type of plans do you have in mind? If they involve going somewhere nice, I don’t think that will work. As much as I love to be comfortable and the smell of your clothes, I don’t think that I should be seen anywhere fancy in your sweatpants.”

  “Nope, we aren’t going anywhere.”

  “Well,” she asked expectantly as she quickly pulled his jersey from her head and yanked off her jean jacket and tank top. She was trying to keep him busy while he answered her so he wouldn’t turn around.

  “Well, what?”

  “What do you mean, ‘well, what’? I was just wondering what you have plann
ed.” She stared at his back, still in shock and awe that she was really here. She mentally shook herself and dropped her skirt.

  “I think you will like it,” he said as he turned towards her. Galynn had just enough time to yank the pants up, but nearly fell on her face in the process. “You realize that you don’t have to hide from me, don’t you?”

  Her face heated again. She had nearly face planted, and thought she was being stealthy while trying to change behind his back. Apparently, she was not.

  “I’m not hiding. I’m just cold, and don’t have a habit of parading around people with no pants on.”

  “Well, that’s part of my plan today.”

  “To have me parade around people with no clothes on?”

  Alceo smiled at her and shook his head. He grabbed another pair of sweats from his closet and tossed a t-shirt onto his desk.

  “No. It’s to make you a more comfortable around me.”

  “Who says I’m not?” Galynn raised her chin defiantly.

  “No one.” He said as he smiled warmly at her. “I just want to make sure that you trust me and that you are completely open with me.”

  Galynn was starting to get nervous. “What makes you think I don’t trust you? Do I have something to worry about?”

  “There is nothing to worry about, darling.” She liked the sound of him calling her darling and if she allowed herself to admit it, maybe she was over thinking things. He did just confess his love for her in front of a bunch of horny, hot and willing girls. What the hell did she want from the guy?

  “Okay, say that I believe you for the time being and I’m willing to indulge you in whatever plan it is that you may have. How do you suggest that I become more open with you - as you put it? Although, if you ask me, having sex in plain view of the entire Celt football team says quite a bit.” Galynn smiled as a heat began to spread between her legs. That was by far the hottest, riskiest and sexiest thing she had ever done.

  “I have to admit, you surprised the hell out of me, but I loved it. On the way over here, I was thinking about how much that put you out of your comfort zone. Now, I want to make you comfortable to show you that I appreciate it.” Galynn watched as Alceo pulled his clothes from his body. He showed no hubris or shame. He knew he was attractive, and he didn’t have to flaunt it. She wished that she could be like that.

  “Okay, so, let’s hear this plan.” Her mind was racing thinking of all the things that could possibly suggest. Seriously, if he wanted to take her somewhere dressed like this, she would rather not. She didn’t think she was entirely ready to be seen in public in his clothes, wearing his ring, holding his hand. It was still a little weird. Even the walk to his dorm was strange. She felt as if everyone they passed was staring at them, looking at him wondering what the hell he was doing with her. Galynn really just wanted sometime alone with him to get her bearings, and to just be with him. She didn’t understand why she couldn’t just let herself enjoy the moment.

  You’re going to ruin everything before it starts. Here he is trying to be nice, and all you can think about is not going out in public with him.

  “Stop thinking so hard.” The sound of Alceo’s voice startled her. “We aren’t going anywhere, I just want to give you a nice, relaxing massage.” Galynn raised her eyebrows at him. “Honestly,” he said with a smile as he stepped closer to her. “You did an amazing thing for me today, and I want to return the favor. I’m sure that walking all the way to the practice field was hard for you - not to mention all the men that you must’ve passed, and I just want to let you know how much I appreciate it.” Alceo closed the gap between them, his hands reaching out and settling on her waist. “Is that okay with you?”

  Galynn nodded. Good grief, this guy is amazing.

  Alceo’s smile widened as he leaned down to place a sweet kiss on her lips. “Good. Now, just relax.”

  Alceo’s hands dropped to Galynn’s waist as he turned her around. She could feel him pressing against her and had to resist the urge to just give in - again. Alceo’s mouth dropped to her neck and gently kissed her there, coaxing a sigh from her. Galynn could feel her muscles bunched, she could feel the tension and excitement coursing through her. She had something to prove again - no matter what, she was going to be worth it.

  Alceo dropped to the floor behind Galynn. He started with her calves, gently running his hands along her legs, over his pants that she was wearing. He could feel the tension in her body, but was convinced that by the end of this, she would understand. His hands found the front of her legs, teasing her thighs as they slid higher. His face was behind her now, focused on the sent of them mixed together. The smell of her in his clothes, her arousal scenting the room. His face stopped at the back of her thighs, overcome with the need to drink in her scent.

  He could feel her thighs trembling almost as if it were becoming too hard for her to stand. His strong hands followed her thighs onward until they hit the band of her sweatpants. He knew what she was anticipating, but Alceo was determined to make this last, and make her feel every inch of what he had to give her. His hands continued to travel upward, covering her belly, massaging her stomach until he reached the bottom of her breasts. His large hands tested their weight but refused to graze her nipples. When he stood, he felt her leaning against him. Alceo smiled.

  His hands found her skin beneath the shirt he had given her. Her skin was hot to the touch and he touched his lips her neck to make her hotter. His hands traveled to her shoulders where he gently massaged the knots and tension out. When he felt her relax, he pushed her to the bed and guided her face down. Galynn tried to turn her head to see him, but he wouldn’t let her. Instead, he slowly began to push the bottom of her shirt up. He only exposed a sliver of her skin, but he lavished it with his hands and tongue as if it were the first time he’d seen her.

  He watched in amusement as her hands bunched in the sheets of his bed as he drew circles on her skin with his tongue. Her hands found his to entangle her fingers with his.

  A word had not been exchanged between the two of them. Alceo wanted to let his tongue do the talking.

  Alceo’s teeth nipped at her sensitive skin, not afraid to mark her. He held her hands in one of his fists as his movements began to become more feverish. He wasn’t afraid to push her shirt up, lick her shoulder blade and grind his hardness into her bottom. He wasn’t afraid to show her exactly what he wanted to do with her.

  As Galynn sighed and squirmed beneath him, his mouth slid lower, finding the waistband of her pants. He let his teeth pull the soft fabric from her body and his tongue dance along her flesh. He was teasing himself, as much as he was teasing her, and he was nearing his breaking point. Alceo released her hands as he yanked her pants from her hips. His strong fingers kneaded the flesh of her back and shoulders as his mouth latched onto her bottom. His tongue traced along her thong, his tongue dipping beneath it.

  Alceo was hard and throbbing with anticipation. His need was growing, and he felt that with her, he could do something that he always fantasized about doing. Something that he had never shared with anyone else. At the sight of her plush bottom quivering just underneath the thong that bit into her flesh, Alceo let out a moan as his rough fingers found and squeezed the hot flesh of her ass. She was so soft, so warm, so inviting. He knew that he should have been taking things slower; he should have been making her enjoy this more, but he knew he wasn’t just teasing her anymore.

  Being this close to her ass, to her pussy, smelling her scent and knowing that only a thin thong separated him from what he wanted was nearly too much. His hands massaged her ass as he watched her dark flesh moving through his white fingers. His cock was leaking now, pleading him to do what he always wanted. With her, he could be himself - he hoped. Alceo was mesmerized as pulled at her flesh, opening her ass to his sight. He could let her know how he really felt.
