Ballers 2: His Final Play

by Blue Saffire

  All playfulness has disappeared again. It has happened a few times today as we talked about his past, but this time something is different. His face clouds over and the room seems to chill. We’ve been having such a great day; I don’t want this to change it.

  The music that has been floating through the room as background noise, switches to a song I have happen to love, You’re the One for Me, By Dondria. Earlier in the week, Nico and I compiled some of our favorite songs onto one playlist. Nico is a sensual lover. I have come to learn that he likes to have music playing while making love.

  I have come to learn that it is something that I love as well. I am learning I love a lot of things I didn’t know I had love for before. Like the scent of my man. Not just his scent like, loving his cologne or the body wash he is wearing. I absolutely love Nico’s scent. It clings to his skin, enticing me like a nasty, sticky, delicious dessert, I shouldn’t have. I love when his scent starts to cling to me as well.

  I have been lying here trying not to turn my face into him and just inhale, but I am weak for this man. Gently, I slip my fingers from his. I smile at the song playing and turn my body on my side and curl in towards his legs. Turning my head, I bury my face in the little patch of hair that’s peeking from under the covers.

  I inhale so deeply, the sound fills the air and I sigh in contentment. Nico coming out of his trance and looks down at me. I look up at him and smile. His already semi-hard dick starts to rise under the sheet. I reach for the sheet and start to slowly pull the sheet back.

  Nico gives me a boyish smirk when I lower my face and inhale again. I love, love, love that I can smell his essence mixed with mine. I lick my lips and drag my nose through his curls, around his jetting erection to his balls and inhale deep once again.

  My lashes flutter as I enjoy his sweet manly musk, mixed with my sweet feminine scent. I nudge his balls with my nose as I drag my face back up on the opposite side of his base, making sure to just barely keep from touching his shaft.

  “Bella,” Nico groans. His voice is husky when he speaks. “What are you doing? I promised to feed you after answering one more question.”

  “Shh,” I say seductively.

  Nico’s smile grows as his right brow cocks upward. I continue my trip up through the light hair of his happy trail, stopping at his belly button. I inhale once again before placing a kiss to his smooth skin. I can feel myself getting wet from just this simple act.

  I push forward and move up the center of his chest. I haven’t taken my eyes off of his. I can see the lust beginning to swirl in his blue eyes, turning them dark. When I reach his neck and bury my face in the crook he bends his face to watch me.

  I close my eyes and inhale so hard I feel my head get fuzzy, but it is the most amazing opening of all my senses. His scent consumes me and sets my blood on fire. I can hear both of our breathing as our breaths sync to one another. My skin is vibrating with anticipation of where this can lead. I have the overwhelming need to taste him, so I flick my tongue out against his skin.

  Nico groans and runs his fingers down the side of my face. Nico cups my face and brings my lips to his, but I turn away just as he gets close enough to kiss me. I pull away and crawl back down his body. He eyes me curiously. I have yet to go down on Nico.

  In truth, I have been afraid of his size. I don’t know how much of him I can get into my mouth, but I am willing to try. Hell, maybe I didn’t do it enough for Ty. I will right that wrong with Nico. As delicious as he smells, he has to taste even better.

  I move to settle between his legs and he lifts to his elbows. “Bella, this is not necessary…,” his words are cut off as I lower my head and cover his tip with my lips.

  Normally, I hate listening to Stacey rant about sucking dick. Right now, I am grateful to her for it. I gently suck the head of his thick erection, then I pull back and kiss it as I look up at him shyly. I watch his Adam’s apple bobs as he gulps. He licks his lips and I smirk.

  I’m going to have fun. I channel my inner freak and throw caution to the wind. Tam and Stacey have been very descriptive over the years on how to give a mind blowing, blowjob. I let the music take over and I go in.

  I lower my head and bob to the sensual beat playing in the background. I am not nearly covering his length with my mouth so I add my hands in. I smile in triumph when Nico lets out a deep groan and his fingers lock into the sheets.

  I ignore the fact that he has my mouth stretched far and wide and give it my all. I swirl my tongue around him on an upward stroke then loop it back in the other direction. Nico’s hips lift off the bed and I want to fist pump.

  Yes, Reese. Do that shit. I cheer myself on in my head. I twist my hands and my head, causing Nico to growl and grunt. I flick my tongue against the long vein on the underside of his shaft just beneath the head.

  Nico literally shivers, “Reese, that feels so good,” he says breathlessly.

  I hum and continue. I have only just begun. I’m going to get this bad boy down my throat if it kills me. My lashes flutter as I relax my throat and go for it. Nico slips from his elbows onto his back. His back bows off the bed as he thrusts his hips up, as I come down. Just before I gag he pulls back but I chase what’s mine. I’m no quitter.

  “Fuck Reese,” Nico growls. He slips into Italian and starts to talk dirty to me with his sexy filthy mouth.

  I am so slick between the legs. I am throbbing to ride him. Nico must be thinking the same thing. He reached for my hair and gives a light tug to pull me off of his soaked dick.

  “I want to come inside of you,” he rasps.

  I nod, but I don’t crawl up his body to climb onto him. I turn my back to him and back up on all fours. Nico groans at the sight of my wet pussy moving towards him. He palms one cheek of my backside as I hover over him.

  I intend to reach for him and sink down onto him, but Nico has other ideas. He leans forward and takes a long, slow lick through my weeping folds. I bite my lower lip and whimper. Nico takes his time eating me slowly. Like he is making slow sweet love to my core with his mouth.

  His hand keeps a tight hold of the cheek, he is squeezing. I start to rock my hips against his face, not able to help myself. Nico pushes two of his long fingers into me and my eyes cross. I am almost done for when he latches into my clit.

  Just when the stars get ready to burst, Nico backs off and pulls his fingers from me. I let out a keening sound in protest. Nico release my backside and reaches for my hips. He guides me to lower onto his pulsing rod.

  I bite my lip as I sink down onto him. My eyes cross as he opens me up. I am still getting used to his size and the fact that I can stretch to accommodate him.

  When I am fully seated Nico reaches for my hands locking his fingers with mine. He brings our joined hands together to wrap around me as he presses his chest to my back.

  This is not a rough ride. It is a slow, sexy, sensual, push and pull that set my nerves on end. Each time I push up Nico pulls me back down with his arms that are cradling me in his hold. He bends his head and latches onto my neck. I roll my head to the side to give him better access.

  When he releases my flesh, he kisses his way up to my ear. “You are the one for me, Reese. I love you,” he whispers hotly in my ear.

  I whimper as my heart swells with love for this man. I want to tell him that I love him too, but I don’t want to make it a habit of only telling him when we make love. I already feel foolish for doing it once.

  “Stop thinking, Cara,” Nico groans. “I know your love for me goes beyond what I make you feel when we’re making love. There is nothing wrong with our love.”

  “Nico,” I cry out.

  “Say it, Bella,” Nico breathes. “Your heart is safe with me.”

  “I love you,” I moan. “I love you so much.”

  “I know.”

  It is all he says before we fall over the edge together. I cry out his name and he buries his face in my neck. I am overwhelmed with emotions.

  When I catch my breath,
I squeeze Nico’s fingers that are still locked with mine as I sag into his chest. “Thank you, Nico. Thank you for showing me true love.”

  “Non è niente il mio amore. Ti amerò per sempe,” Nico murmurs against my skin.

  But it is something to me. He didn’t have to fall in love with me. He didn’t have to help me. I will never know how to thank him properly for all he has done for me.

  CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

  Family & Friends

  Nico

  One month later…

  Reese is adorable when she is all nervous. We have been in our own world for the past four weeks, but I know she is growing impatient with Uri. I have had him lead Reese to believe that an investor is the reason for the clinic being stalled. When in fact, work has still been done and things are moving forward.

  There is a new investor, it just happens to be me. I am buying Uri out. Well, I am buying the majority of his shares. I want to see this through with Reese. I had initially held back and did not offer to invest because she was still married. At the time, I didn’t know she would be mine now.

  I didn’t want there to be any issues if and when the opportunity presented itself for us to be more. I had no doubts that her ex would fuck up. I just didn’t think it would be so soon.

  I was impressed when I read Reese’s business plan. I didn’t expect to find out that a portion of the clinic would be dedicated to early intervention. I was sold the moment I read that fact. I just have a weakness for kids. When children’s charities would come up on the clubs list of events I have always been the first to willingly volunteer no matter what team I have played for.

  I understand now why Uri was on board with no questions. It was more than Reese being a friend of Val and Pam’s. We Donatis have a few more secrets that we guard with our lives and the clinic that Reese is opening has a special place with us all.

  Everything is on track. Reese has even hired a full staff. All that is left is for us to reveal the surprise I have for her. The reason I needed Uri to stall.

  It wasn’t easy to find and bring in her old mentor. He has been living his life in solitude, deep in the Congo, for the past five years. I know how much he influenced Reese’s career, so I wanted him, along with her parents here for this.

  All Reese knows is that we are having a dinner with both of our families and some of our friends. Marie pulled off a great surprise opening for Jasper when his gym opened, so she was the first one I enlisted to help me out. Somewhere along the line Valentina, Paige, and Pam got involved and they all took over. I don’t mind because I wouldn’t have known where to start other than to hand over my credit card.

  I know Reese will be surprised. I have yet to show her how I intend to spoil her. Her ex-husband spoiled her with guilt gifts their entire marriage. I will show her what it is like to be spoiled with love, not just expensive cars and material things.

  Tonight Reese is nervous because she believes that this is just a dinner for our families to meet each other. Reese has been worrying about how her father will receive me. I have no such concerns. Her father and I have already had the necessary words for him to know I love and care for his daughter.

  I pat myself on the back as I lead Reese around the back of her new clinic. She believes that we are having this meet and greet at her clinic because it was the only place big enough for all of our guests to come all at once. It’s a good thing I have yet to take her to any of my friends and family’s houses.

  Reese willingly offered up the clinic for the dinner just as I knew she would. Her giving heart is one of the things I love about her. She hasn’t the slightest clue that she opened the door for me to pull this all off without her knowing.

  I squeeze her hand gently as we enter through the back entrance. A small smile meets Reese’s lips as we walk through the hall of the back of the clinic. I watch as she takes in the open doors of the offices and locker rooms.

  Uri hasn’t allowed Reese to come to the clinic in weeks. When we walk out into the large main area that breaks off into the reception area, the main gym and the pool area – which I had added to the plans in a last minute crunch, Reese’s eyes go wide. As she walks into the finished space her mouth falls open and a gasp falls from her full lips. My heart swells at the sight of the tears in her eyes.

  Uri walks over to me from the seating area out front and hands me a black velvet box. I turn to Reese with a smile on my face. She is looking between Uri and me with confusion on her face. She looks at the box and then at me with caution written in her eyes. I know what she is thinking.

  “This is not that box yet, Cara,” I say in Italian. I ignore the look of relief on her face and shove it aside for later. “In this box are the keys to your new clinic. I hope you don’t mind that as your new partner, I may have made a few tweaks to the original plan.”

  Reese’s brows wrinkle in confusion for a moment and then recognition set in her eyes. “You were the new investor? Oh my God, Nico. You are so crazy,” Reese laughs and launches herself at me.

  “Do you like it,” I whisper in her ear.

  “I love it,” she says into my neck. “But I love you more. Thank you so much, Nico. This is so much more than I dreamed of. I mean the things I had to hold back on…you made it all happen.”

  Reese releases her hold on me and spins around in a circle as she looks around in every direction. I know the moment she sees her parents and Dr. Hashem standing together. Reese stops in her tracks and stares at the older man, then she turns to me.

  “Nico,” she says with trembling lips. “You did this?”

  “Yes, Bella,” I smile at her. “I thought it would only be right to have your inspiration for doing all of this here. He is a tough man to get a hold of.”

  “You have no idea,” Reese says with so much love in her eyes.

  “I…I don’t even know what to say to you right now. I didn’t think I could be any more grateful to you. This…I don’t know what to…,” Reese shakes are head runs into my arms again. “This means so much to me.”

  She whispers the words for only me to hear and I feel my heart burst. I knew she would be surprised, but this is far beyond the reaction I was looking for. I kiss the top of her head and squeeze my arms around her.

  “I told you before. I will give you the world, just ask for it,” I whisper back.

  ~B~

  Reese

  Nope, there are no words for how much I love this man. Dr. Hashem is not one of the easiest men to get a hold of. I have wanted to get in contact with him for years now. To have him standing here in my brand new clinic is just overwhelming to say the least.

  I was expecting to walk into a half-finished clinic. The last time I was here so much work still needed to be done and according to Uri that work was on hold because of the new investor. I trust Uri and his decisions, so I haven’t been pushing the issue, since he said it would work out in my favor.

  I should have known my bossy man was involved in all of this. Nico is amazing. As I look around at my clinic I see all of the things I told him I wanted, even the things I shared with him that were not in the budget for me to make happen. I had picked a space that we could expand on in the future, once I get this place up and running, but Nico finished it. I now have more than enough room for the rehab clinic and the early intervention center.

  I was so worried we would have to struggle with the space for a year or two, if not more. Uri asked me repeatedly if I wanted to do more with the place, but I couldn’t take any more money from him. He has done so much for me; I had intended to make it work.

  “You have grown into a beautiful young woman,” Dr. Hashem breaks into my thoughts. “I can see the turmoil that has been around your spirit, it is just around the edges, but you will heal. I am proud of you Reese.”

  “Thank you, Dr. Hashem. I can’t tell you how good it is to see you,” I beam at him.

  He studies me for a moment, then seems to nod his head at his own thoughts. His hand cups my shoulder. “You stil
l have a way to go on your journey, young one. The healing you seek will come from within. I cannot help until you are willing to help yourself. Forgiveness will be key,” Dr. Hashem says meaningfully.

  I look away and blink back tears. Ty always thought I wanted him to find me the best doctor, but I had been in search of Dr. Hashem. The truth in his words right now cut me to my core.

  As healers we are always the first to be able to heal another, but we fail to care for or heal ourselves the way we should. This is something I know, although, I have yet to do the work I know needs to be done. I don’t know what is stopping me. Maybe it was the fact that I knew I was in a horrible marriage. I guess it just hurts to be called out on it so easily, by a man that I truly respect.

  “It will happen, young lady. Do not give up. Now show me this clinic of yours and tell me how you plan to get me to stick around for a bit to help out,” Dr. Hashem says with a warm smile on his clay brown face.

  My heart swells and soars once again. Nico did all this for me. My mentor wants to be a part of my dream, even if just for a little bit. This could not be a better night. I look over to see Nico laughing with my dad and I know I couldn’t ask for more.

  As I prepared for both of our families to meet, I knew that it could change things between us, but all I see tonight is the chance for our love to become stronger. I laugh to myself, my father wasn’t too happy that I didn’t tell him and mom about Ty right away. He also thought that I may be rushing things by jumping into a relationship with Nico.

  He let all this be known when I called to invite them to this dinner. I loved that Nico took the phone from me and asked to speak to my father alone since my mom had been on the line as well. Nico left the room, so I don’t know what all he said to my father, but daddy seemed to be appeased when I got back on the phone.
