“I’m not,” Lee replied to whatever she said.
“Rachael, my son’s belly is full. If there’s no food there you’re a grown woman find some,” he hissed at his phone.
“No, I’m not bringing you any money. Look, we need to talk. You need to meet me tomorrow, twelve o’clock at that restaurant downtown.”
He paused for a quick second to listen. He face read of pure disgust. The grip he had on his phone looked like he was going to snap it in two.
“You’ll find out when you get there. Just make sure you show up,” he said before pausing again.
“Fine, take a cab and I’ll pay for it when you get there,” he sighed at her response.
“In case you were wondering, Lee is fine,” he hissed into the phone.
He hung up on whatever her retort was, shoving the phone in his pocket. His expression was so angry, I didn’t bother to say a word. I just handed him the baby and followed him out to the cars. Lee placed LJ in his car seat, before coming to give me a long hug.
I could feel him hurting. Despite my parents apologizing and making him feel welcome tonight, their words had already done their damage. Rachael’s call hadn’t helped at all. Lee needed a minute to breathe.
Chapter 23
True Colors
I slept in the next morning. I was too worried about Lee and his meeting with Rachael. I had hoped she wouldn’t demand to have LJ back. That would truly break my heart. I have grown so attached to him. I was glad it was my day off.
When I finally rolled out of bed I showered, then went straight to LJ’s room. Esther had him on a play rug, singing the alphabet song while playing with toy cars. She’s so good with him. I sat on the rug with them to push the cars around for him.
I spent a good hour in the room with them before Lee came in. His expression was ten times worse than last night. I stood up from the rug we were planted on, moving over to him. He locked his arms around me, holding on for dear life.
After a few moments, he pulled me from the room to head for ours. When we reached the room he paced the floor as I sat on the bed watching him. He began taking off his suit, still too angry to talk yet. I gave him time to calm himself so he could speak.
“You know she didn’t bother to ask about him?” he started. “She was willing to walk away from him for three hundred grand.”
“What?” I gasped in disgust. “You offered her money?”
“No!” He stopped to rub his temples. “My lawyer explained to her what I wanted. Before he could finish, she said she would leave and I could have him for three hundred grand. I’m not giving her shit!”
“Are you serious?”
“Man, Crystal. She tried every way she could to get money out of me. My lawyer had her sign to give permission to tape the conversation and she still was bold enough to try to negotiate money.”
He stopped pacing to come lay down on the bed. My heart hurt for him. I couldn’t believe my ears.
“Baby, it’s going to be fine. At this point, I’d pay her to go away,” I giggled, trying to lighten the mood.
“The whole time I was there, I just wanted to come home to you. I love you.”
“I love you, too. Tell me how to make it better.”
He looked over to me, motioning for me to come to him. I crawled closer to him, leaning in to peck his lips. He reached for my leg, pulling me to straddle across his stomach. Reaching up he pulled my face down to his. The kiss started out soft as he caressed my back.
“I want you to have my baby,” he said softly.
“Okay, well we better hurry up and plan the wedding. Then, I’ll give you all the babies you want,” I laughed.
“You know that’s not what I mean,” he said as he began to undress me. “I want to give you my baby.”
“Lee, we can wait. We have LJ,” I insisted.
“No, that’s not the same,” he moaned. “I want to have a baby with you. I don’t want to wait.”
“I don’t know,” I breathed as he kissed my neck, making it hard to stay focused. “We should talk about this.”
“Come on, Crystal. Let me try. If it doesn’t happen then cool, but I want to try. I want a baby with you. That’s all I keep thinking about. I want you to give me a little girl.”
“Lee, are you sure you want to do this?” I moaned. “I think we should wait.”
“Nah, I want this now.”
His lips covered mine, taking my words away. I whimpered into his mouth. His tongue came out to flick against my chin. My back hit the mattress with a bounce as he flipped us.
Looking down at me with hunger in his eyes, he started to release the buttons on his dress shirt. I licked my lips, reaching behind my back to release my bra. I tossed the garment aside, watching as his chiseled chest came into view.
Lee tossed his shirt behind him before dipping to take one of my hardened peaks into his mouth. I cupped the back of his head, bowing off of the bed. His mouth was warm and wet against my skin. The swirl of his tongue had me grinding and writhing beneath him.
I bit my lip and groaned. His fingers hooked into my panties snatching them from my hips. I gasped in shock. My nipple popped free from his lips as he looked up at me with determination and a heat I’d never seen before.
I could tell he met business. My mind raced as he reached to unbuckle his belt. I’d never slept with anyone without protection. This was a new level in our relationship.
“Do you want to see my last physical results again?” he offered, sensing the shift in me.
“No, I saw them already,” I said softly.
He placed a hand on my belly, running his fingers up the center of my body. I shivered at the feel of his rough hands on my smooth skin, the contrast a total turn on to me.
“I thought about being inside of you the whole way home,” he crooned.
“Baby,” I pleaded.
“Shh, I’ve got you,” he replied.
His fingers found their way between my legs. Lee kept his eyes on me as he strummed my body to a fever pitch. I rocked my hips, wanting and needing more.
He sucked that full bottom lip into his mouth. Watching Lee play with my body had to be one of the sexiest things in the world. I could feel my climax building.
When he reached down to stroke himself to the rhythm of his hand taunting my pussy, I completely fell apart. His big hand wrapped around his thick, long length was a sight worth coming for all on its own. So I did.
His lips were back on mine. I wrapped my legs around him as he coaxed me to. My mouth parted in a silent scream as he slammed into me.
He rolled his big body into me as if dancing to a sexy slow song. I dug my fingers in his back to anchor myself. It felt so good I was in tears. Tears of pleasure and disbelief that sex this good was even possible.
“Lee,” I cried.
“You feel so good, baby. Give me that pussy. Show me who it belongs to,” he breathed.
“It’s yours,” I promised.
“Show me,” he commanded.
Swiftly, I used my strength to push him onto his back, rolling with him. I steadied myself with my hands on his stomach. Planting my feet onto the mattress, I went to work.
My head fell back, my hips circled as I lifted up and dropped back down. I took advantage of all the length I had to work with. I could feel him deep inside me.
I bit my lip to keep from screaming out. It wasn’t too fast or too slow. We’d set a pace that worked perfectly. Lee’s hands cupped my breasts, guiding me to move up and down on him.
“Damn, girl,” he growled. His hips rolling up into me.
“Yes,” I purred leaning forward, I dropped down, clinched my walls around him, and twerked my ass on him.
“Fuck,” he hissed between his teeth. “I’m tear that ass up.”
At least he gave fair warning. He plucked me from his lap, placing me on all fours. My face dropped into the bedspread as I hollered into it. His grasp on my hips, the drilling of his strong strokes from behind. It was
all so overwhelming.
“Yeah, that’s it. Come all over me,” Lee purred, slapping my ass three times.
Right, left, right, his strikes sent my ass bouncing. He roared out his own release as his hot seed filled me. My eyes bulged in my head.
It was a strange feeling, but it triggered multiples to run through me. I anchored my back, which Lee took as an invitation. He rode through both of our climaxes still semi hard.
His arms wrapped around me as his pace turned to one of coaxing. As if he were stirring and calling for something more than an orgasm from my body. He soon came to full mass and rocked my body until squirting into me once more.
“We’re not done,” he chuckled.
“I figured,” I said lazily.
Chapter 24
Our Little Girl
Of course, Lee got what Lee wanted when it came to Crystal. He wanted to try for a baby and I gave him his wish. It had been two months and I still hadn’t gotten pregnant.
However, wedding plans had been in full swing. We were planning a May wedding. Lee didn’t want to wait until the following year and May was perfect for him with his off-season schedule.
My parents are letting us use their place for the ceremony and reception. Our mothers were becoming best friends as they helped me plan the wedding. Lee’s mom, Sharon is the sweetest woman ever. Her happiness came from seeing her son happy. She’s shared with me on many occasions how much she loved the way I cared for Lee and LJ.
We are getting married the week after LJ’s first birthday. I had become so attached to my little monster. It was clear to see how much Lee loved that.
Lee insisted we start teaching LJ to call me mommy. At first, I wasn’t sure how to take that, but as the second month hit with no call from Rachael, I was all for it. LJ needed someone to act like his mommy. Since I seemed to be the only one willing, I don’t see why he shouldn’t call me mommy.
LJ seemed to love me as much as I loved him. I found myself rushing home from work just to see him. I loved the way his little face lit up when I walk through the door.
I usually got to bond with him the most on the weekends that Lee had away games. We tagged along with Lee a few times to the states that had nice places to take LJ. Like the museums, aquariums, and stuff like that.
Lee was totally back on track with his game. Physically he was back to himself as well, nice and healthy. Chances of winning the super bowl were looking good for the year. Lee’s stats are amazing. He was totally focused. His endorsements are stable and more offers were coming in.
We were becoming a real happy little family. Esther helped us to keep our family running smoothly. She turned out to be the perfect choice for us. LJ was learning so much from her.
Life was great on almost every front. I was on track with the salons and the new projects were well under way. We were a well-oiled machine.
“Crystal,” Lee called from the bathroom.
“Huh?” I replied as I tickled LJ’s tummy, giggling with him.
“You think you can take LJ to see my mom tomorrow? She’s been asking me to bring him up this week, but by the time I pick him up from home and get there it would be too late,” Lee called into the room.
“Sure, babe. I have the day off. Are you going to come up after practice?”
“Yeah,” he answered as he kissed me on the cheek and sat on the bed next to LJ and me. “You sure you didn’t have something else you needed to do?”
“Nope, I was planning to spend the day with LJ anyway.”
“Thanks, Crystal.”
“I guess it’s your bedtime, Little Man,” I cooed at LJ.
LJ made a face at me as if he understood what I was saying to him. He wasn’t done playing with me yet. I lifted him into my arms. His little hands grabbed my cheeks, pulling my face to him. He mashed his little face into mine.
Laughing, I got up to take LJ to his room. I found Esther sitting on the couch waiting for me to bring him out. LJ was a little fussy when being handed over to Esther, but he calmed down when she started to sing to him while rubbing his back.
LJ raised his little hand up to wave at me as I blew him a kiss goodnight. I just adored the little smile that stretched across his face. He was such a sweet boy.
I reentered our bedroom to find Lee with a sexy smile on his face. His eyes remained on me as I climbed back onto the bed with him. I beamed at him, crawling up his body before settling across his lap. I shifted forward to lie on top of his chest. His arms incased me in his strong hold, his lips moving to kiss the top of my head.
“What are you smiling at?” I chuckled.
“You. You’re great with him, you know that? My little girl is going to be lucky. She needs to hurry up so LJ doesn’t keep taking up the spotlight.”
“Your little girl knows her mommy doesn’t want to walk down the aisle looking like a blimp. She’ll come when she’s ready.”
“Nope, my little girl and I know her mommy will look beautiful pregnant or not. So she’s going to be good and show up for her daddy,” he replied, reaching to lift my face to his so he could kiss me.
“So does that mean her daddy wants to try again?” I chimed as I wiggled in his lap.
“You already know,” he breathed, running his hands down my back to cup my globes in a firm grasp.
Lee didn’t have to ask twice. He would get his chance to try again. I rocked against him as his strong palms kneaded my ass, moving to spread my cheeks only to release his hold and slap my ass. I moaned, shifting to get him free of his pajama pants.
My mouth watered for him. My eyes twinkled as I thought of all the ways I planned to torture his sexy body until he came. Knowing he would fight the entire time to keep from groaning and grunting too loudly.
I licked my lips as his massive length came into view. I was already wet and ready. It didn’t take long to get him in my mouth and bring him so much pleasure his toes curled.
I don’t know what I enjoyed more—watching him come undone from my mouth or lying beneath him as he took my body to places that should be outlawed. Our lovemaking silenced my thoughts and doubts. Being in the arms of the man I loved so much outplayed everything else.
I had to admit I was a little nervous about trying for a baby, but I was sure I wanted one with Lee. With the wedding around the corner, I tried convincing myself that if it happened it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
After all, my career was definitely intact and Lee’s was on the right path as well. It was only after he brought me to the brink of sanity and the edge of bliss that my thoughts started to consume me again. His hot seed filling me was a fiery dose of reality.
I couldn’t help lying there in his arms trying to rationalize things as he combed his fingers through my hair. I’d told myself for the last two months that I wanted a baby as much as he did. It wasn’t just me giving him what he wanted.
Sometimes, I thought it hadn’t happened yet because I was so twisted up about whether or not I wanted a baby so soon. Or was it because I’d fallen into a pattern of doing what I know would make Lee happy. Then, I thought about LJ and how much I love him.
A million times over I’d wished that he was my own. Whenever that thought occurred I had no more questions. I want to be the one that gives Lee his first little girl. Either way we were both getting what we wanted.
“Baby?” Lee mumbled, “We’re going to need a bigger house.”
“Are you ready for that?” I replied as he broke into my thoughts.
“I want to at least start looking. We’re already outgrowing this place. With another baby, it’s going to be tight in here. We don’t need to live like that. I want to give you a bigger place,” he answered as he traced circles on my back.
“You know we don’t have to rush if you don’t want to, this place is fine for now. LJ likes it.”
“I don’t feel like we’re rushing. This place is cool, but it’s not someplace I’ve given you. You know what I mean?” he sighed, taking a brief pause. “I feel lik
e I need to make a home for you and LJ. I’m focused now and everything is lining up the way it should. I sold the condo so I want to look for a place we can call ours.”
“This is ours,” I replied, lifting my head to look up at him. “Lee… LJ and I are at home.”
“Nah baby, you’re not getting it. I need to know I’m making you safe and secure. This house is yours. I love you for welcoming me and LJ here and making us feel at home, but I need to give you more.”
“Okay, if that’s what you want,” I answered, placing a kiss on his chest. “We can start looking.”
“I thought we could look in Westchester or New Jersey this time,” Lee suggested.
“Alright, that would put me sort of in the middle of everything either way.”
“If you want to stay close to your family we can do Westchester.”
“Lee, did you not notice I’m nowhere near them now?” I laughed. “It has nothing to do with my budget.”
“Okay,” he chuckled.
My fingers caressed his chest as I snuggled closer to make myself even more comfortable against his body. Lee tightened his arms around me, changing the subject to the wedding. We talked a little while longer before we both drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 25
Time to Relax
I woke up to help Lee out of the door the next morning. Afterwards I jumped into the shower and dressed myself, before heading to LJ’s room to get him ready. I wanted to get an early start on the day to make it to Connecticut in time to spend a good portion of the day with Lee’s mom. Esther was always up early so I didn’t have to worry about her.
Ms. Sharon was up and waiting for us when we arrived. LJ of course was excited the minute he saw his grandma. She spoils him the same way she spoils Lee. He was in grandma’s arms receiving hugs and kisses the minute we stepped into her house.
We sat in her living room while playing cartoons for LJ. Ms. Sharon could throw down so I was happy to see some biscuits on the coffee table for us to munch. Lee’s mom makes sure to feed you anytime you come to her house. Lee always joked that she stopped cooking when he hit the NFL, but I’d never seen her leave him without something to eat if she was around.
