Bobbi would later say that moment she knew she was in love with Quinn and she was going to marry him. She would totally redo his kitchen because she couldn’t stand the layout, and he was going to be fine with it.
They would be married for a couple of years and be satisfied with the one child they had until a night of too much vodka and not enough birth control introduced them to their twins a year later.
But for now, she had to enjoy Quinn rocking the karaoke bar with his best Lizzo impersonation. “He’s challenging me. That fool is legit challenging me.”
“Whatcha gonna do, girl?” Angel lovingly taunted. “He’s about to win it all now.”
Bobbi thought of the perfect song to shut Quinn up. She just hoped the place had it since it wasn’t a family-friendly song. Then again, Quinn’s selection wasn’t something a child would sing, neither. “I got something for that ass.”
Quinn finished his set and bowed to the overwhelming applause. He walked straight to Bobbi and had a delicious smile on his face. “Your turn. I hope it’s a good one.”
Bobbi met Quinn’s smirk with one of her own. “Oh, it will be.” She brushed past him and walked to the stage. She searched for the song and prayed it was there. Someone in the universe clearly looked out for her and it was there. She said a thank you and chose the selection.
She immediately began rapping along with the lyrics, gesturing with the song, and the audience ate it up.
Quinn, meanwhile, stood still. He was proud. He laughed. He smiled. He knew she had him by her pinky finger and he would drink her bath water.
“Is she really singing what I think she’s singing?” He smiled.
“Why yes, Quinn,” Xavier nodded and patted Quinn’s back, “your girlfriend is singing “Jizz in My Pants” and congratulations, my friend, you are whipped in more ways than one. By the way you’re looking at her, she owns you, dude. Hook, line, and sinker.”

“You’re the first and only person to whoop me at karaoke.” Quinn walked Bobbi back to her hotel room. “I would say it was beginner’s luck, but you were pretty good.”
“Never did I ever imagine I would win singing “Jizz in my Pants” at karaoke but here we are,” Bobbi smiled. “But thank you. I had a lot of fun tonight. It was much better than watching Orange Is the New Black.”
“I’m glad.” Quinn nodded. “I think hanging out with some players is much better than spending time with convicts on a TV screen.”
“Your friends are great,” Bobbi admitted, “you guys have a great camaraderie. Not a lot of teams have that. They usually have a few star players and then there’s everyone else. You guys actually like each other.”
“Yeah, they’re great guys. I’m not the only reason why we won the World Series. Everyone likes to focus on me, but it was really all of us.” They arrived at Bobbi’s hotel room.
There was an awkward silence between the pair and Bobbi questioned her thinking. It was clear they were more than friends, but they didn’t know where to go. She wouldn’t dare to say she was in love with Quinn because she didn’t know him.
Hell, she thought she knew herself a few days ago. All of her relationships ended horribly. She ran hard and fast from her exes and never looked back. She poured all of her energy into her career and put away feelings.
Then she met Quinn and all sense flew out of the window. She wanted him but it was the wrong time. Why did the right love always come at the wrong time?
“You’re quiet,” Quinn studied Bobbi’s eyes. He could seemingly read her thoughts. “What’s on your mind?”
“If I should let you inside and regret it or let you go back to your room and regret it?“ She softly spoke. “That’s where I’m at right now.”
Quinn stepped closer to Bobbi and cupped her face into his hands. He felt her body heat through her shirt. His heartbeat pounded so loud in his ears, he thought he was going deaf. “You and I both know if I go inside your room right now, we both won’t regret a damn thing.”
Bobbi tried to keep her emotions at bay, but they were too strong to ignore. Her emotions were suffocating her. “Quinn, I can’t do this. If this ends badly, you could ruin me.”
“I wouldn’t do that, Bobbi.” He caressed her cheek. “I care about you too much to do that.”
“If this fails, we’ll both regret it.” Bobbi whispered.
Quinn picked up Bobbi and managed to open her hotel door. “Didn’t I just say we wouldn’t regret a damn thing?”
The moment the pair went inside the room, their bodies were on a collision course. Quinn slanted his full lips over Bobbi’s and played with her tongue. He pinned her to the bed and climbed on top of her as Bobbi spread her legs to accommodate him.
His hands and lips were everywhere on her body and Bobbi responded to every touch. His large hand squeezed and held her breast before it traveled down her body. His mouth moved to her neck and lightly sucked on it, causing Bobbi to moan and gasp.
“Quinn…” She begged.
“Shhh…” He directed. He got off her and began to undo her jeans. He pulled them off her, followed by her T-shirt. He stood at the foot of the bed and just admired how beautiful she looked before him. “Gorgeous.”
Bobbi began to close her legs but Quinn nudged them back open. “No, I want to see that sweet spot.”
“Boy, if you don’t….” Bobbi laughed.
Quinn stripped out of his clothing and grabbed a condom out of his jeans. “I only have one with me.”
“I have a whole box,” Bobbi answered and Quinn blinked at her, “don’t ask. I didn’t pack those.”
“I know Sarah well.” Quinn reassured. He climbed on top of the bed, and pulled Bobbi’s panties down her legs and tossed them aside. “Just like I know your body very well.”
“Oh?” Bobbi suddenly felt bold. “What are you about to do, Q?”
“I want you to watch me lick you.” He commanded and Bobbi felt a shiver. “And if you look away, I’ll stop.”
Before Bobbi could protest, she felt the swipe of Quinn’s tongue on her clit. She fisted the sheets as her body lifted off the bed. Quinn nudged her back down and wrapped his arms around her thighs as he licked her faster.
He briefly sucked on her pussy and Bobbi thought she was having an out-of-body experience. She kept her eyes on his as he spread her love and focused on her swollen, and sensitive clit.
It was the most erotic thing she’d ever experienced. She wanted to look away but couldn’t. She wouldn’t. She didn’t dare. She wanted him to stop. She didn’t want him to stop. They stared at each other’s soul as Quinn pleasured her. They couldn’t get any closer.
Pleasure points prickled along her arms and Bobbi screamed out as she held Quinn’s gaze. Quinn went back to the fast licking and Bobbi’s moans ripped from her. Her body rode Quinn’s tongue and she tightly squeezed her breasts, pinching the taut nipples.
She couldn’t stop the orgasm and it splintered her into two as it shot through her body. Bobbi arched off the bed before she slammed back down on it. Her mind spun, she was completely incoherent, and felt lost.
“That’s a sound I love to hear more than anything,” Quinn climbed up the bed and nestled himself between Bobbi’s thighs. “I love making you come. I hope to do it more times tonight.”
“You’re going to ruin me.” She raked her hands up and down his muscular back.
“I most certainly hope so.” He grinned.
Bobbi rolled over and straddled Quinn. She moved his hands behind his head. “I hope to ruin you right now.” She reached over and grabbed a condom, sheathing his thick cock with it. “I’ll suck you off later, but I want you inside of me now.”
“Whatever the lady wants, the lady shall have.” He nodded.
Bobbi adjusted her position and sat down on Quinn’s thick cock. He completely filled her wet and tight love. Her pussy rippled against his thick length and they both moaned. Pleasure zigzagged through Bobbi and she steadied herself on Quinn’s chest.<

“Fuck, you feel so damn good…” She cried.
“I want you to fuck me,” he dared her. “I want to feel you come all over my dick, baby.”
Bobbi slid herself up and down, relishing in every thrust. She rocked him slow; she bounced on him fast. He was buried so deep inside her and Bobbi couldn’t get enough of him no matter what she did. Quinn was inside her love, her brain, and her soul.
Quinn fingered her swollen clit as she watched Bobbi ride his cock. Her head was thrown back and moans poured out of her mouth. It was the most beautiful sight he’d ever seen and he was making her feel that way.
He slapped her ass as he encouraged her to fuck him harder and she yelped her appreciation. This was the real Bobbi – raw, uninhibited, and sexy. She hid behind her pain and was afraid to explore. He brought the best out of her.
He pulled her down and wrapped his arms around her back as he thrust upward. Bobbi screamed in his ear and Quinn groaned in return. Bobbi’s toes curled up and little zaps of pleasure prickled all over her body.
“Oh shit, I’m about to come…” she cried.
“Come all over my dick, baby.” Quinn groaned.
The orgasm ripped through Bobbi and she screamed in response. Quinn followed a short time later and buried his face in her neck.
They laid joined together for a long while before Bobbi rolled off Quinn. She looked down at him and was surprised he was still hard. “Does it ever go down?” She teased.
“Not with you,” he rolled on top of her.
Bobbi stared into Quinn’s deep blue eyes and sighed. “I love my career, Quinn. I have the job of a lifetime and I don’t want to leave it.”
Bobbi said a whole lot without saying a word. She mentioned how quickly she left relationships if they didn’t work, but Quinn didn’t realize she would also leave jobs as well. “I don’t want you to leave it, neither.” He read her eyes and saw a small storm brewing within them. “Let’s see where this goes. It’s only been a week, right? Who knows what will happen?”
“You just told me over dinner you wanted me to go to your home and look at a big-ass stuffed giraffe!” Bobbi giggled. “I mean, that’s pretty serious if not other women received that invite.”
“I want to spend as much time with you as I possibly can, Bobbi.” He caressed her face. “And I know that’ll be easy because of what we do, but I’m talking about off-season. I’m talking about when we don’t have the playoffs. When it’s just us at home. That’s the Bobbi I want to see.”
“You’re talking about end of the season plans and the season hasn’t even started yet.” She sighed. “Baseball is from March to November. That’s a long time to see where this goes.”
“Good.” Quinn slid inside Bobbi again and she moaned in response. “That gives me plenty of time to give you more orgasms.”
~~~~~~
Sunlight crept into the hotel room, causing Bobbi to slowly open her eyes. She’d barely slept the night before. She kept Quinn up all night. He returned the favor numerous times. They pleasured each other. One guided the other when they finished too soon or not fast enough.
They loved on each other like a couple who’d been together for years, not a whole week.
Bobbi reached over to where Quinn slept and was surprised to find it empty. She shot up in bed and looked around. “Q?” She called out to no answer.
She smelled food, glanced over to the table, and saw breakfast waiting for her. She got out of bed and walked over to the tray. She opened it to find pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast. There was also a note:
I had to step out for a morning workout. I didn’t want to leave but I did promise Angel we would workout together. I’ll see you later today, baby.
Q.
Bobbi held the card close to her chest and sighed. She wasn’t supposed to get involved and there she was – head over heels.
She couldn’t worry about Little League games and YouTube hair tutorials now. She had to get ready, meet with the other trainers, and be available for any sessions that day. She had to be at the stadium at seven for the first round of treatment and stay until the game was finished at five that evening.
Bobbi also needed to pretend nothing happened between her and Quinn at all. If word got out they were a thing – she wasn’t entirely sure if Quinn was her boyfriend – she didn’t want to be accused of giving him preferential treatment.
And if they broke up, she didn’t want to be accused – like the last time – of refusing to treat him.
Her heart still burned with the memory. Bobbi had been accused of many things in her lifetime but being unprofessional was never one of them. She couldn’t believe it when the manager and her supervisors called her in for a private meeting and let her know her attitude wouldn’t be tolerated.
They opted to give her a short suspension from the team and Bobbi refused it. She quit instead. If they couldn’t take her word, there was no argument to be made.
It wasn’t until several weeks ago when she received a call from the Braves apologizing and begging her to come back. Her mind was already made up; she would treat the Dodgers instead. If there was any chance the Asshole of All Assholes was still in Atlanta, she wanted no parts.
There was no time to be butthurt over some dude she probably wouldn’t ever see again. Bobbi quickly showered and ate breakfast just as fast. She went light with the makeup and pulled her hair into a ponytail.
It was scorching hot in Glendale. Bobbi rummaged through her suitcase and picked out some shorts and her uniform shirt. She completed her look with a Dodgers cap and her favorite sneakers.
She smiled at herself through the full-length mirror. A glow wasn’t present before. Her smile was a bit bigger. She was happier and looked more youthful. Her booty filled out her shorts a bit more.
“Quinn…” She whispered. She knew it was him. She could say she was happy to start a new career. She could also say the dickdown she received the night before played a significant role.
She didn’t want to play the ubiquitous ‘What are we?’ game with him when it was clear he laid his cards out on the table. Bobbi knew better to get with an athlete. If social media wasn’t a concern, she might’ve pursued a relationship. The thought of Quinn’s fan club stalking and harassing her made Bobbi ill.
Then she thought about the butterflies she had whenever she was around him. She thought about how hard he made her laugh and how his face lit up when he told a crazy story. She thought about how passionate he was about life, and about her.
Suddenly, Bobbi wanted to give Quinn a chance.
She grabbed her items and headed to the elevator. Bobbi stepped into the elevator and pressed the button down to the lobby when a hand stopped it. Bobbi met eyes with the woman and recognized it was PAL from the night before. She was also in the same clothing. Bobbi smiled a hello and moved out of the way.
“Hurry up! I got an elevator!” She yelled out and Bobbi didn’t have to wonder if she was talking to her partner-in-hoing. By the way she looked, Bobbi knew the woman didn’t shower the night before. She looked sticky, like the floor of a movie theater.
As expected, Peroxide stepped inside the elevator with another special guest star. Bobbi was too busy looking at her phone to see the other party but soon recognized the voice when she heard it.
“Bobbi Gibson. Long time, no see.”
Bobbi looked up and bit back an eyeroll. Of course, she would be stuck in the same elevator as the man who made her leave Atlanta. Why wouldn’t she? She glanced back at her phone. Maybe if he was so occupied with his hoes, he wouldn’t care she just paid him dust.
Adrian Taylor. The man that made her curl up into a fetal position and cry her eyes out. The man who would make her toes curl by how he licked her off. The man who made her move across the country.
He had tawny skin and two full sleeves. Diamond studs covered his ears and his jet black hair was slicked back. He was a tall, muscular man and an absolute beast in every facet of his life.
&nb
sp; He smelled like fresh, clean soap with a twinge of a fragrance Bobbi was all too-familiar with – hoochie. Adrian prided himself on being a ladies’ man and he was quite popular on the gossip blogs.
No one cared what he did off the field as long as he was a leading batter on it. He had the reputation on the diamond to back up any shit he talked to opponents and potential conquests. Everyone knew it, too.
Especially Bobbi. It was a regret she would forever kick herself over.
“Ladies, I need to take in a meeting with Bobbi so I’ll meet up with you later.” Adrian held open the door for the ladies to exit. He took out his wallet and gave them each a generous donation. “Have fun today.” He stepped back inside and closed the door before either could protest.
Adrian smiled at Bobbi, who was concentrated on her phone. “Lovely day, isn’t it?” Bobbi didn’t respond. “I didn’t think I would see you again. Are you working for another team?” No response. “I don’t know if you heard but I’m an Angel now. I play for Los Angeles.” He looked over and Bobbi was still on her phone.
Bobbi was more beautiful than before. Her hair grew out and her skin looked so supple and soft. She was a bit curvier and filled out her uniform just right. She could be any man’s fantasy but Bobbi was always particular about who she dated.
Adrian felt blessed Bobbi even paid him attention. He realized she was one of a kind. Most women were after his fame or his money; namely his money since he signed a huge contract in the league.
Now the woman who did everything for him wouldn’t even look at him. “I’m glad to see your back on your feet again.”
The elevator ride was quiet until they reached the lobby. Once the doors opened, Bobbi exited out first and Adrian was hot on her heels. “Can you at least speak to me?”
Bobbi stopped walking and turned around. “Fuck you.” She smiled before she left.
