  Xander

  I never thought I’d get to experience this kind of thrill again.

  Once I retired from the NFL, and subsequently separated from my wife, I figured my life was over.

  Luckily, I met the Cage family. They’ve saved me in many ways. Now, it’s my turn to pay them back.

  I’ve worked my butt off for the past few months trying to make sure their youngest son, Jayden, one of the best college quarterbacks in the country, gets drafted as high as possible. I’ve signed him to multiple endorsement deals; hooked him up with a good PR team, and prepared him for stardom.

  I have experience, something that’s invaluable to a young athlete like him.

  It’s the least I could do. I owe the Cage family so much. Not only have they given me professional purpose again -- by trusting me with Jayden’s career – they’ve also created the most wonderful, sweetest, sexiest woman in the history of the world.

  Lily Cage is the target of my affection.

  10 years ago, I would have already claimed her. I’m a top dog, alpha-bull kind of guy, and have been for my entire life. I’ve led teams of giant men through tundra and scorching battles alike. Playing football is like playing full contact chess -- the best players aren’t just pieces on the board, they’re also controlling all the moves.

  I was always lucky to not only physically gifted, but also mentally blessed. I could always seem to set up everything just right to turn in my favor.

  I felt like a lost that ability when a freak on-field injury sidelined my career. I felt even more blindsided when my wife left me, not long after.

  She had completely fooled me. She made me think that she liked me for me, when, in reality, she was only in it for the exposure that being with one of the country’s best athletes afforded her.

  I still get angry when I think of her.

  I should be happy, though. Because of our failure, I’ve been able to create a whole new life for myself; a real life where I can use my mind to its fullest capacity.

  I finally feel like I’m getting back into my old form.

  Lily is the final piece of my puzzle.

  I’ve felt something sizzling between us since the day we first met. We have a crazy good chemistry and an unspoken connection that just makes me crave her presence.

  I’ve been smart about it, though, or, at least, I hope I’ve been.

  I’ve been playing it cool; keeping my distance; studying for the right time to strike.

  Tonight might be my night.

  Tonight is the night of the NFL draft. If I’ve done my job properly – and I’m sure I have – we’re in for a hell of a celebration. Jayden will be one of the top picks, and I’ll finally confess my feelings for Lily.

  I used to get nervous before football games, but never anything like this.

  What if she doesn’t love me back?

  My heart is so empty; I have a hole inside of me that she would fill up perfectly. Rejection would be devastating.

  She won’t reject me, though. I know it... and anyways, I won’t let her.

  It’s time I take my life back by the horns, and that starts with taking Lily by the hips.

  Lily

  I haven’t been this happy in a long time, and it’s not just because it’s my little brother’s big day.

  Well, not so little anymore. Jayden’s one of the biggest guys in this lavish hotel banquet hall, and definitely the most powerful... except for maybe Xander.

  The three most important men in my life are all gathered together today.

  My big brother, Hunter, is here. He helped Jayden practice all his life, catching passes when no one else was around. He’s ecstatic, though a little distracted. I can tell he’s interested in one of the waitresses at the event. I hope he’s careful, he’s had problems with gold-diggers in the past.

  My little brother Jayden, who’s not so little anymore, is being drafted today. Not to the army, but to his dream job, as a quarterback in the NFL.

  The three of us have joked before that Jayden might as well be joining the army. Our family is so rich that even if he makes the most money any football player has ever made – which he very well might, with Xander as his agent – he still won’t have made as much as Hunter and I could make in a year by getting into our family business.

  Add to that the risk of injury and sometimes Hunter, as the older brother, worries for Jayden.

  I don’t worry for him too much, myself, though. I know Jayden is so strong and confident that he’ll always be alright, no matter what he does.

  The third man who I’m excited to get to spend some quality time with at this party is Xander Jones, the studly ex-football player who currently manages my little brother’s career.

  I’ve had feelings for him since the day we first met but I didn’t want to act on them prematurely. Family is most important, and I would never do anything to jeopardise or distract form Jayden’s career. I know Xander’s been busy over the past few months, so I’ve tried to leave him alone.

  Boy, has that been hard, though.

  I want him to make me part of his family.

  I dream about his chiselled body and stunning face every night. I even touch myself to memories of his shirtless body sometimes.

  I swear I see a twinkle in his eyes whenever he sees me... but could a man that hot really love a girl like me?

  I have no illusions, I’m a big girl. I’m thick and voluptuous and proud, but still, I know not all men are into that, especially not men who have led the kind of life Xander has.

  Sure, my family is rich beyond measure, but I’ve seen Xander’s ex-wife.

  She’s so conventionally pretty that it’s almost sickening. She has long legs and a slender face with a sharp jaw. Her waist is so small that it almost doesn’t exist. I could probably squat more that her, but does that matter to Xander?

  I want to find out so bad.

  Tonight will be the night. This is a celebration and I want to celebrate my feelings for him.

  I’m so nervous, both for my brother and for myself.

  God, I hope Xander makes the first move.

  I’ll be his, all he has to do is take me.

  Xander

  Get ready for the call.

  That’s the text I’ve been waiting for. An insider buddy of mine promised he’d tip me off when Xander was about to get drafted.

  Jayden has been missing in action for the past 10 or so minutes but he’s just returned to the table where we’re all sitting – right on time, like always.

  He seems unusually distracted, though. His nickname is the iceman, because he’s so cool under pressure. Something’s bothering him, I can tell. I know him well enough by now.

  I can see him eyeing his brother, who’s talking up one of the waitresses from the catering company.

  He seems concerned.

  He shouldn’t be. I pat him on the shoulder and give him a reassuring look. I nod and he understands what I mean. The time is coming close. His life
is about to change.

  Lily and I have been teasing each other all night. I made sure she was sitting right next to me at our table. Over the course of the night, I’ve ‘accidently’ rubbed my leg up against hers as a test. She never pulls away. In fact, she always pushes back into me.

  That’s a problem, though. Because her soft warmth makes me instantly hard. I have to do a lot of standing up and greeting, I can’t touch her for too long. I need to save some of my blood for my brain, it can’t all be running down between my legs.

  I don’t have to touch her to be aroused, though. She’s wearing the sexiest little dress. Her thick body makes my mouth water. I’ve been going crazy all night long. I just want to take her in a supply closet and have my way with her.

  I see her biting her lip when I study her voluptuous body.

  I’m finally feeling strong again, like I can conquer the world.

  I don’t want the world, though, I only want Lily.

  I smile at her as she looks up at me from my side. I lean down and whisper into her ear that the time is almost here.

  Little does she know, there’s two meanings to my words.

  She smells like vanilla. Her warmth is intoxicating. I take a big whiff of her before I reluctantly stand back up straight. Our gazes linger on each other before she turns to search the crowd.

  She spots her other brother, Hunter, and calls him over. He’s been unusually distant tonight. He obviously has a thing for that waitress.

  I hope his and Jayden’s mood aren’t connected.

  I shake Hunter’s hand when he finally comes over and let him know that we might be getting some big news soon.

  “Looks like we might be getting the call soon,” I lean in and whisper. He smiles. I know how close the Cage family is. I can’t help but be a little envious.

  I want to be a part of the family. I want to make Lily my wife.

  Hunter goes over and talks to Jayden. I look on in anticipation.

  Finally, their conversation is cut short when Jayden gets THE call.

  I shush the table and hold my breath as he answers.

  We’ve projected the live stream of the televised draft onto a wall before us. I grab the remote and turn up the volume. Everybody stares in hushed excitement.

  Before Jayden can get off his call and tell everybody the news, the commissioner of the NFL walks onto stage and announces that Jayden’s been drafted!

  The whole banquet hall goes absolutely bonkers!

  My first instinct is to find Lily.

  I turn around and sure enough, she’s right there.

  Surprisingly, I’m the first person she hugs, even before any of her brothers. I’m absolutely shocked, and oh-so thankful.

  This is it. This is my moment.

  Her warm curves squish against my hard body. Her tender arms wrap around my thick neck and her plump thighs wrap around my washboard-abs. She squeezes onto me with all the love of the world. I’m in heaven.

  I can’t help myself.

  I don’t care if anyone sees.

  I kiss her.

  Lily

  Xander’s lips are wet and plump and full of passion.

  I kiss him back.

  I’ve waited for this moment since the day we first met. His big, strong arms hold me up as we search the wonders of each other’s mouths. I don’t care who sees, all I care about his him.

  I feel his manhood growing against my legs. I wrap tighter around him. I’m almost gyrating when he finally pulls away.

  “I want you,” he nearly growls.

  His hot breath drives me wild. It’s like I’m pumped full of pheromones. It’s breeding season.

  “I want you too,” I say back. “Ever since the day I met you.”

  He smiles and squeezes my ass. I sigh with pleasure.

  “Go say congratulations to your brother. Once my work here is done, you and I are getting out of here.”

  I just nod.

  I’ll do whatever he says.

  He lets me fall from his arms and I scurry over to my celebrating brothers.

  I can still taste Xander on my lips. I want more.

  I can barely push through the crowd that’s surrounded Jayden. They’re all trying to congratulate him. Even Hunter has been pushed away. I try to fight my way through, but it’s no use. Suddenly, though, the crowd parts, as if by magic.

  I look to my side to see Xander clearing the way. He towers over everybody and moves them aside with ease. He’s so strong that he only has to swipe his arm to send other grown men stumbling out of my way. I smile at him and then jump at my brother.

  I hug him with a different kind of love.

  I tell him how proud I am of him and he tells me how he couldn’t have done it without me. I know it’s not true, Jayden would have been just as successful without his big sister, but it’s still nice to hear.

  I don’t have long before he’s swarmed again. He lets me go and I make my way back to Xander. He grabs my hand and pulls me through the distracted crowd.

  “I can’t take it anymore,” he says. “I have to have you.”

  “I’m all yours,” I say, as we push through the doors of the banquet hall.

  We run through the hallways of the hotel, hand in hand, until we come across a supply closet. Xander kicks in the door and throws me inside. I fall back against the wall. My heart is beating nearly out of my chest. My breasts heave like they want to break out of my tight dress.

  Xander steps inside the closet and stares and me while the door closes shut behind him. He’s so big and muscular that it feels like he fills up the entire room. I feel so small in his presence... yet so safe.

  “God, you’re so sexy,” he growls, as he steps towards me.

  I put my hand on his hard, bulging chest... then I put my other hand on his hard, bulging pants.

  “You’re not bad, yourself,” I whisper.

  He grins and leans down to me. We kiss again, this time more passionately than before. Our tongues greet with pure carnal longing. His mouth is so hot and wet. He fills me up with his juices and I try my best to do the same to him.

  He pushes me against the wall and his bulge throbs like an earthquake against my skin. His big, strong hands wander down the bottom of my dress. He hikes it up and kisses down my neck.

  I feel his fingers explore my soaked womanhood.

  “You’re so wet,” he growls.

  “Take me,” I whisper back.

  He gives me one last long passionate kiss before grabbing onto my hips and effortlessly flipping me around. I feel like a ragdoll, he’s so strong. I’ve never felt so light in all my life.

  I try to stiffly my pleasurable whimpers as Xander pushes my panties aside. I arch my back and stick my big, thick ass out towards him.

  I hear him unbuckle his pants behind me and then I feel the heat of his freedom wash up against my behind.

  “Give it to me, baby,” I cry out.

  He smacks my ass and the little tinge of pain ripples through my body with pure ecstasy.

  he moans and pushes into me.

  He’s huge!

  I guess I should have known.

  I feel myself stretch out to welcome him. He slides deeper and deeper and I hug him tighter and tighter. It’s not long before I feel the hard, hot skin of his pelvis smack up against my ass.

  I sigh and he starts to thrust.

  We fill the little closet with our cacophony of passion.

  My thighs shake from the pleasure, as does Xander’s manhood. Before long, he pulls back out of me and finishes on my exposed cheeks.

  “You know, you could have finished inside of me,” I tell him, as I tidy myself up. “I’m on the pill... not because... it just helps with other things... I’m not a hussy,” I try to clarify. I giggle, nervously.

  I’m so frazzled by the amazing encounter that I’m blabbering.

  Come on, Lily, don’t embarrass yourself!

  Xander just smiles and leans down and kisses me.r />
  “I know. Don’t you worry about a thing,” he says, in his deep, sexy, manly voice. “I will next time.”

  “Oh, you assume there’s going to be a next time?” I tease, as I straighten up my panties.

  “Oh, I know there will be. You’re mine now.” He smirks and finishes buckling his pants back up. We step into each other and kiss again before he takes my hand and leads me out of the supply closet.

  He checks down the hall, both ways, to make sure the coast is clear. When he’s sure that it is, we exit and walk back to the banquet hall, hand in hand.

  I feel so amazing, walking beside him. I’m his girl now, there’s no doubt about.

  I smile.

  I can’t help but feel like this has been my big day as well.

  1 Month Later...

  Things are going a little rougher than I’d hoped for with Lily.

  I’ve just been so busy, trying to get Jayden’s first big contract under wraps, that I haven’t been able to spend as much time with her as I’d like.

  Lily’s a rich girl; she’s not used to having to wait to get what she wants.

  I’ll teach her, though. I’ve already made her bend to my will in bed. Her thickness is exhilarating. I can actually use my full power when I pound away into her from behind.

  She’s not like my ex, or any girl I’ve ever been with before.

  My phone vibrates in my pocket.

  I miss you :(

  My heart breaks a little. It’s from Lily. We’ve been apart for the past two days as I finalize Jayden’s contract.

  The talks have been so intense that I’ve pretty much had to sequester myself away from the world.

  It’s going to be well worth it, though. It looks like I’m going to be able to get Jayden the biggest first contract in the history of the league. That means I’ll get a huge commission. It also means I’ll be the #1 target for future draftees. I’m glad, not just because it gives me professional purpose but because it will allow me to spoil Lily a little more... not that she needs any extra money.
