When I’m making dinner, they spend an hour in the sunroom. I make a mental note to get heat installed in there so she can soak up all the rays, all the time.
Vitamin D, baby.
When they come out, I look over my shoulder. “Have you picked out Leddie’s room yet?”
“No.” Ray laughs.
“Why don’t you do that? After dinner, I’ll put her things in it.”
“Where’s our room?” she asks.
“Up the stairs, last door to the left.”
My phone rings, and I look around for it.
Ray grabs it off the counter.
“Who is it?”
She looks at the screen. “Johnny?”
Shit, I ignored his calls for three days.
I look for a towel. “Can you hit accept and put it on speaker?”
“What the fuck is going on, Cohen?” comes his voice. “I’ve been trying to get a hold of your ass for two days. Fucking Twitter is—”
“Johnny,” I try to interrupt, but he doesn’t shut up.
“You’re all the fuck over the place, which is really good for sponsorships, but not when you’re out playing goddamn superhero to a kid and not answering your agent’s call!”
“Things have been—”
“Who’s the hot piece of ass in the picture with the kid?”
“You listen to me, mother—”
“For fuck’s sake. Well-played, man. I hope you’re tapping that for real. If not, feel free to share her info. I’d like to—”
“Shut the fuck up!”
Ray covers her mouth to hide a laugh.
I point to her. “This isn’t funny.”
“Never said it was. It’s fucking genius,” Johnny says.
“Johnny, you got a pen?”
“Yeah, man. Why? What’s up?”
“Take a fucking note.”
“Let’s have it.”
“You’re fucking fired.”
“What?” He laughs.
“Ray, hang up the—”
“I’m heading up your driveway with a fat contract and a bottle of champagne, man. It’s pay day, Cohen.”
And … he hangs up.
“I’m gonna kill him.” I storm toward the door, but she steps in front of me, wrapping her arms around me and hugging me.
She starts shaking, and I don’t know if she’s crying or laughing.
“Show me that face, Ray,” I demand.
She holds me tighter and shakes more.
“If you’re crying, I’m sorry. I’m gonna kill him. But if you’re laughing, I’m gonna spank that ass.”
“Who’s ready to celebrate!” Johnny yells, slamming the door.
“Remind me to change the fucking code,” I sneer.
She holds on tighter as Johnny’s laughter nears.
“We should have a house full of ass and—” He stops and looks at her all wrapped around me, and then up at me. He scratches his head and starts to open his mouth.
I point a finger at him. “Shut the fuck up.”
He raises his hands, one with a bottle of Dom and the other with an envelope, in the air.
“Do I fucking look like a showboat to you?”
“Tricky question, Cohen. Not sure how you want me to answer.”
Ray laughs, and I look down.
“That’s one,” I warn.
She looks up and smiles. “I love you.”
“I know you do.” I kiss her nose then look at Johnny.
“I’m not a showboat. I don’t do bullshit to try to get attention. On the field, I play a game. And, yeah, I may seem a little over the top at times, but that’s because I am that good. The kid, her name is Leddie Lou. She’s mine. The hot piece of ass,” I snarl, “is her mother and my fucking girl, so you disrespect her ever again, I will fucking fire you.”
Ray smiles. “That was nice of you to give him another chance.”
“I’m in a good fucking mood today,” I tell her, and she starts to laugh.
“In his defense—”
“Don’t you dare, Ray,” I scold her.
“In his defense, I’m sure you didn’t tell him about your college girlfriend, and you didn’t even know about Leddie until a couple of weeks ago, so …” She shrugs.
“So what?” I narrow my eyes at her, which she grins at.
“So, be nice, Trucker Cohen, because this is going to be your best season yet.”
“Oh, I like her.” Johnny smiles, and I glare at him. “I mean, I respect her.”
“That’s fucking right you do.”
“And I am in love with your man.” Shakeeka laughs. “I’m sorry, Brooklyn, but damn, he is—”
“Mine.” She looks up and pouts out her lips.
Epilogue
Ten months later…
She’s on all fours, her round ass in the air.
I bend down and give it a bite
“Mmm …” She shakes it at me.
“Someday, Ray”—I rub my cock up and down her slick folds—“I’m gonna take this ass.”
“Someday, Trucker Cohan, when I see a Super Bowl ring on your finger, I’m going to give you this ass.”
I grip her black hair and pull her head back while slamming into her.
“Fuck!” she cries out, and I feel her hot, wet pussy clench around my cock.
“You better not come yet, Ray.” I pull out fully.
She looks over her shoulder, licks her lips, and pushes her ass back against me. “Give it to me.”
“Give it to me, what?”
“Please?” She smirks and wags her dark eyebrows. “Your highness.”
I slam into her again and hiss when her pussy quivers and she groans.
“Not yet, Ray.” I pull almost all the way out, and then she slams that ass against me and proceeds to fuck the ever-loving shit out of me.
“Fuck, Ray. Oh, fuck.” I let go of her hair, grip her hip with one hand, lean forward, and wrap my other hand around her sexy neck. I pull her back against my chest and give it right back to her.
“Yes, yes, yes …”
“Don’t you come yet,” I hiss as I keep fucking her pussy like it’s mine, because it fucking is.
“I have to …” she pants. “I’m going to …” she cries. “Yes, yes, yes!”
I still. “Say please, baby.”
“Please,” she damn near begs.
I push her forward, and she grips the bench. I fuck her hard, fast, and deeply, just like she likes it.
Her pussy quivers, and I feel liquid heat surrounding my cock as she comes all the fuck over me.
“Mouth or pussy, Ray?” I ask from between my teeth.
“Trucker!” she cries as she seems to be experiencing an aftershock.
“Mouth or pussy?” I growl, gripping her sexy-ass hips harder.
“Mouth!” she cries out.
“You better hurry up.” I pull out, and she turns around, straddling the bench. She opens her mouth, and I come inside it.
I look down at her tits—Ds—and her swollen belly—baby number two—and my come on her lips. Then I reach down and wipe it up before offering her my thumb. She takes it.
“You good?” I ask.
She sighs contently. “Fucking football pants and the second trimester.”
“You think it’d be alright if I get back on the field?” I ask.
She nods.
“Ray, that means you gotta get dressed.”
“I know.” She pouts as I throw a shirt on over her head then pushes her arms in lazily.
“Ray, it’s half-time.”
She smiles as she pushes her feet into the leggings I’m holding for her. “It sure is.”
“It’s also the fucking Super Bowl, Ray. A little more effort would be cool.”
I kiss her lips then step back. “You’re getting a ring tonight.”
“I better.” She walks past me, and I smack her ass.
“I’m getting that.”
She laughs as she walks out of the
locker room. “Sorry, Coach, false alarm.”
Standing in the end zone with the ball in my hand, I look up and thank the man above. Then I look at her, my girl, and see her jumping up and down, tears running down her face, hands in the air, giving me nothing but sunshine.
I hold up four fingers and point them to her. She throws me kisses and smiles even brighter … and then my ass gets tackled to the ground.
The stadium erupts in confetti, reds and blues and whites, yet I still see her smiling
Standing next to my coach, who’s accepting the Super Bowl trophy, I’m beaming with pride for my team and for my family and remembering every moment it took to get to this very place.
When I’m announced MVP and am standing at the microphone, I feel my eyes mist over.
“Ray? I got your ring!”
I see her clapping from the sidelines.
I shake my head. “I need you here.”
I see my dad smiling, my mom smiling, and Ray’s entire fucking family smiling. I see Logan holding my Leddie, and London pushing Ray toward me.
“You guys wanna make room for my girl?”
She stands at the bottom of the stage, smiling at me.
“Ray, when all my dreams come true, it’s you I want next to me. Get up here.” I laugh and she walks up to me.
“I got your ring, baby.”
“I know. It’s beautiful.” She takes my hand and kisses my finger.
I look behind me and see Johnny. I hold out my hand, and he hands me the velvet box.
I look back at her, and she cocks her head to the side. And yeah, I don’t care if millions of people are watching, I scratch behind her ear. She closes her eyes, throws her head back, and laughs.
When she opens them, she looks down at me on one knee and covers her mouth.
“My moment of triumph wasn’t a Super Bowl ring; it was a moment of clarity. That moment was when I met you. Every event contradicting it was a denial of the truth. The truth is, I always was and always will be in love with you.”
I open the box and hold up the ring. “Marry me, Ray, and give me every moment of the rest of my life.”
She nods and grins. “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
I stand up and push the ring onto her finger. Then I wrap my arms around her, lift her up, and kiss her the way she deserves to be kissed.

Reading opens doors to, evoke thought, allow us an escape, give us a deeper understanding of the world around us, and learn so much more about anything we wish.
There are many people, like our hero and heroine in this story, who struggle with reading.
Below are some great resources to help assist those who struggle with the written word.
I’m blessed to have a great friend, who also has a masters degree in literacy, and a huge love for helping those around her.
Much love,
MJ
