Hearts on Fire Read online

Tyler crawled up my body. “I never get tired of seeing you like this. You are so beautiful when you come.” He tangled his tongue with mine and I tasted myself. It was so erotic.

  “Make love to me, Ty.” I begged him softly as I ran my hands through his hair.

  He reached into the drawer for a condom and I grabbed his wrist. “I don’t wanna use one,” I said. “I just want to feel you, and only you, inside me.”

  He looked at me warily. “You’re killing me Ky. Do you know how tempting that is?”

  “Please,” I begged. “Just this once.” I needed this. I needed the connection.

  Tyler contemplated, then sighed as he looked at me. “I’m pulling out. I’m not gonna come inside you,” he was setting the conditions.

  “Okay,” I agreed. “Please… I just need to feel you.” I knew I sounded desperate, and I was.

  Tyler settled back over me. He threaded his fingers with mine and brought my hands above my head, so they rested on the pillow. “You’re crazy, you know that?” he whispered in my ear.

  “Crazy in love,” I smiled up at him. Our eyes connected as I opened my legs for him. “Make love to me,” I whispered.

  He gently placed his tip at my entrance and hissed at the contact. I was so wet and ready for him. He pushed in slowly and his eyes rolled back as he leaned his head back. “Oh my God.”

  I felt all of him, as he slowly pushed forward. The hard and the soft. His size stretched me wide, filling me completely. Every ridge, every movement. He pushed in so deep, I could feel him pushing against my cervix. He slowly pulled back and slowly pushed back in. It was a delicious combination of pleasure and torture twisted together.

  Tyler put his hands behind my thighs and pressed them to my chest. I went up on my elbows and pushed myself up to my hands. I kissed Tyler deeply, “I wanna see you inside me.” We both watched as he disappeared inside me over and over again, stretching me to accommodate his width. It was, without a doubt, the most intimate moment we had ever shared. I reached down and rubbed my clit. I was so turned on, that it only took a couple strokes of my fingers to push me over the edge. I started to pulse around Tyler’s dick, squeezing him tightly with my muscles. He hissed loudly, pumped two more times and pulled out. Hot streams of cum, poured onto my stomach. I watched as he emptied himself on me. “That was so fuckin’ hot,” I exclaimed as I laid back on the bed.

  “Yeah? Which part?” he asked as he collapsed beside me.

  “All of it. Watching you fuck me. Seeing your dick disappear into my pussy. Watching you come. All of it!”

  “You’ve got a dirty mouth, you know that?” he teased me.

  “Only around you. And I think you secretly love it.” I teased back.

  “It’s not really a secret,” he tapped the tip of my nose, “I do love it. It’s going to kill me to go back to using a condom after that.”

  I closed my eyes, laid on Tyler’s chest, and enjoyed the moment. Holding each other. No distractions. No worries. Just us.

  Chapter 38

  Tyler

  It was game day! This stadium was amazing. The energy, electric. It felt surreal to be playing in the Rose Bowl. Not many players ever got this chance. Win or lose, it didn’t matter.

  Okay, that was a lie. I lived to win. Everyone would be watching, including the pro scouts. This game could help solidify my future.

  My parents had flown in yesterday. I knew Kyla, Tori, and Chris were here too, they had flown in this morning. I got a text from Kyla, asking if she could see me before the game. I told her to meet me outside the locker room, I would let security know she was coming. I was waiting for her now. I had to see my girl before the biggest game of my life. I was going through my phone, looking for the music that always pumped me up before every game. I had my ear buds in and pushed play, turning Godsmack up and feeling the energy move through my veins.

  I was so into the music, that I didn’t see her approach. She wrapped her arms around my neck, went up on her tip toes, and collided her mouth with mine. I pulled the ear buds out, and wrapped her in my arms. “I’m so glad you’re here,” I spoke into her hair. “I couldn’t do this without you.”

  “You could, but you don’t have to,” she flashed a smile at me. “How are you doing? Are you nervous?”

  “A little bit, but seeing you helps.”

  “Don’t be nervous. You’re going to be amazing! Just do your thing. It’s just another game. When you get on the field, it’s you and your team. Forget about the crowd. Forget about the cameras.”

  “God, I love you. You’re my anchor.” I gave her one more soul searing kiss.

  Coach came out of the locker room looking for me. “Jackson, let’s go. Game time!”

  “Coming, Coach,” I answered over my shoulder. I turned back to Kyla. “I gotta go. I’ll see you after the game. Meet me back here?”

  “You know it, baby. I love you. Oh and not that you’ll need it, but…good luck!”

  I tapped her on the ass and went into the locker room. Cody was sitting on the bench by my locker. “Where were you?” he questioned.

  “Just had to see Kyla before the game,” I answered.

  “Don’t you ever get enough of her?” he smirked at me.

  “Nope! I’m gonna marry that girl one day.” I sat down next to him, resting my arms on my knees.

  “Dude, do you even know how lucky you are? It’s cool that she came all the way to Pasadena for you. When I first met you, I thought you were totally pussy whipped. And you are… but she’s worth it.”

  “Yeah, she is.” I let out a big breath and turned to Cody. He’d become like a brother to me over the last couple of years. “I’m proposing to her when we get back home.” He probably thought I was nuts.

  “No shit! Congratulations, man!” He pulled me into a big bear hug and patted me on the back.

  “You don’t think it’s crazy?” I asked.

  “It’s totally crazy! But you guys have been together for three years, right?”

  I nodded my head.

  “It’s cool. You guys were made for each other.”

  The first half had just ended and were up by 14. I could hear Kyla cheering for me. She really was my biggest fan.

  We were sitting in the locker room along the benches, as Coach gave his half-time speech. I dropped, my head. All I could think about, was that ring sitting in the drawer of my desk.

  Cody knocked me on the back. “You alright, man?”

  I looked up at him. “I’m good.” I dropped my head again.

  I heard Coach call my name. “Jackson, how’s your arm? You good for the second half?”

  I gave him a thumbs up and he nodded at me. Whenever I got on the field, a sense of calm took me over. I was focused. I threw the ball like a laser, knowing just where to put it.

  I drifted off again in my own thoughts, but came back when I heard the end of Coach’s speech. “Get your asses out there and let’s take this home boys!” Everyone was hopped up on adrenaline and testosterone. The sounds of hooting and hollering were deafening in the small space of the tunnel coming out of the locker room. We made our entrance back on the field, and the crowd went wild.

  As the clock ticked down, I knew we had this game. We ran a few short plays, using up as much time between each one as possible. We we’re down to a few seconds. Our center snapped the ball to me and I took a knee, effectively running down the clock and winning the game, 24 to 20.

  The crowd went crazy. The whole team ran onto the field, and it was complete chaos. While I was high fiving and hugging it out with the guys, I saw my little blond cheerleader running across the field to me. I broke from the guys and held my arms out for her. She jumped up into them and I swung her around. I was sweaty as hell and probably stunk, but she didn’t care.

  “Congratulations, baby! I knew you could do it!” Her smile lit up her face. “I’m so proud of you!”

  I pulled her in tight and she wrapped her legs around my waist. She weighed practically nothing and I
loved holding her like this. I kissed her hard and set her back on her feet. “Thanks, Ky!” I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and we started walking off the field. “You don’t know how much it meant to me for you to be here. There’s no one I would rather share this with.”

  We got closer to the locker rooms, and found Tori and Chris waiting for us. Tori threw her arms around my neck and gave me a huge hug. “Congratulations!” Chris gave me the one- armed man hug, patting me on the back, “Great game, man!”

  “Thanks! I’m so glad you guys flew out for this. It means the world to me.”

  “We couldn’t let Kyla fly out by herself,” Tori smirked. “Plus this guy,” she pointed over her shoulder to Chris, “is living vicariously through you. We wouldn’t have missed it.”

  “There’s a huge celebration party on campus tomorrow. You guys are coming, right?”

  “We’ll be there,” Chris fist bumped me. “Think it’d be cool if we crash in your dorm?”

  “Yeah, no problem. I’ll text you guys the address for the party. I gotta be there early, so I’ll just meet you at the party.”

  “Cool, man.” Chris turned to Kyla, “I hate to break up the love fest, be we need to start heading back to the hotel, so we can catch our flight. We’ll meet you up on the concourse?”

  “Sure,” Kyla answered. “Just give me a couple of minutes.”

  Chris and Tori started walking up the steps, giving us a few more minutes alone. “I wish we were going home together,” I said, pressing my forehead to hers.

  “I know, me too. But I’ll see you tomorrow. And the next day.” She gave me a mischievous look. “Now that football’s over, we’ll have more time together.”

  I picked her up one more time and swung her around. She squealed like a little girl. Her laughter was infectious. “I’m looking forward to it. I love you, baby. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

  “I love you, too. See you tomorrow.” I gave her one final kiss and patted her on the ass, sending her up to meet Chris and Tori. As I watched her go up the steps, all I could think about was how lucky I was, and that ring waiting at home. I made up my mind right there, that I would propose to her the day after the party. In two days she would be my fiancé.

  Chapter 39

  Kyla

  We flew back to Michigan and then drove to Western. By the time we arrived, we were all so tired, that we crashed. All I could think about was seeing Ty at the party, and hopefully doing some serious talking the next day. Now that the Rose Bowl was over, I couldn’t put this off any longer.

  I spent extra time getting myself ready for the party. Tyler was the hometown hero and I wanted to make sure that I looked good for him. Plus, I needed to make a statement to the skanky bitches that I wasn’t fooling around. He was mine. Tori helped me curl me hair in soft waves that flowed down my back. I went a little darker with my make-up, and I could honestly say I looked sexy. I threw on a pair of skinny jeans, a tight black top that showed off my boobs, and my tall black boots.

  “You look hot!” Tori exclaimed as she looked me over.

  “I just want to look extra sexy for him tonight,” I sighed. “He’s kind of a big deal and I want him to be proud to be with me.”

  She sat back on my bed and rolled her eyes at me. “I don’t know what you’re worried about. That boy would think you were sexy if you wore a paper bag.”

  I sat down next to her and grabbed her hands. I didn’t know how she would take what I was going to say next. “I know.” I sighed and dug deep for my courage. “Things are changing though. You know how hard this has been, with the two of us being so far apart. Weekends come and go so fast. I need more. He needs more.”

  “Okaaaay… you’re starting to scare me a little bit. What’s your point?”

  “The point is…” I closed my eyes and blurted it out. “I’m thinking of transferring to MSU in the fall, so we can get an apartment together.”

  Tori’s eyes widened in shock. “You’re ditching me? What about your graphic arts degree? They don’t have that same type of program at MSU.” She looked hurt. We had always planned on being roommates. This was supposed to be our experience together.

  “I’m not ditching you! I have to follow my heart. Can you imagine not seeing Chris every day? It’s so damn hard and it’s not getting any easier.”

  She scowled at me. “No, I can’t imagine not seeing Chris every day. It would break me.”

  “And I don’t want it to break Tyler and me. He can’t transfer. Not with him being the QB. It would end any chance of him going pro. I can’t take that away from him.”

  Tori’s eyes softened with her next words. “I get it. But, I’m still going to see you right?”

  I hugged her tight. “Of course. A little distance can’t break our friendship. We’ve been through way too much together. I’m still going to need you!”

  I felt lighter, now that I had broken the news to Tori. Tyler and I still had a lot of details to work out, but I was excited about the thought of us living together. It would make EVERYTHING so much easier. I just hoped he would be as excited as I was.

  We packed into Chris’s truck and headed to MSU for the big celebration. The weather turned bad. A snow storm rolled in about a half hour into our trip. The blizzard made it almost impossible to see and traffic was moving at a snail’s pace.

  “Fuck!” Chris let out his frustration. “This fucking sucks! I’m so glad we’re not coming back home tonight. I’m going to be done with driving by the time we get there.”

  I felt bad because I knew if it wasn’t for me, we wouldn’t be driving in this weather. It was coming down so hard, that it was practically a white out. “I’m sorry. I feel bad that you guys are doing this for me. We can go back if you want to. I’ll just text Tyler and let him know what’s going on.”

  “No, it’s fine. Hopefully this will let up soon. We’ll go and have some drinks. All’s good,” Chris reassured me.

  “Are you sure?” I asked.

  Tori turned around and leaned over the seat. “Kyla, relax. It’s fine. We want to be there for Tyler too. This is a big deal. You have to be there.”

  “I know, but I still feel bad. You guys are the best! I don’t know what I would do without you two. Thank you for helping me get through all of this.”

  Chris looked into the rearview mirror and caught my eye. “Hey, baby girl, you know we love you right? You’re not putting us out. You’re kind of like a baby sister to me.”

  “Thanks, Chris. I love you guys too! But you do know we’re the same age right?”

  “Yeah, but that doesn’t stop me from feeling protective over you. I promised Ty, that I would watch over you and I’m not going back on that.”

  I sat back and let out a little huff. “You guys really are the best! Thanks.”

  Tori gave me a little wink. “Now sit your sexy ass back, and just let Chris handle this. We’ll be there soon. And then we can all get our drink on!”

  Chapter 40

  Tyler

  Where the hell were they? They should have been here by now.

  Cody came up and clapped me on the back of the shoulder. “Dude, relax. She’ll be here. I heard there’s a snow storm coming. She’s probably just stuck in traffic.” He led me over to the makeshift bar where a bunch of the guys from the team were standing. “In the meantime, let’s do some fucking shots! We’ve got some celebrating to do!”

  He had a point. We were supposed to be celebrating. I knew Kyla would get there when she could. I wasn’t a huge drinker, but what the hell? I’d already had a few beers and was feeling a little buzzed. I grabbed a vodka off the bar and raised my glass to my teammates. “To kickin’ ass at the Rose Bowl!” I shouted. Everyone raised their glasses and threw back their shots.

  A few shots later and I was feeling pretty good. Hell, who was I fooling? I was fucking drunk. I hadn’t been this drunk in…well ever. My vision was a little blurry and I wasn’t so steady on my feet, but I was having a good time. I needed this
. I’d been wound so tight lately, that I just needed the release.

  The bass of the music was thumping and people were everywhere. The dance floor was crowded with couples rocking against each other. I even saw a few trying to hide the fact that they were fucking on the couch. Apparently anything went tonight. I missed my girl.

  I headed to the bathroom and opened the door. I interrupted one of my teammates getting a blow job from one of the cheerleaders. I muttered my apologies and shut the door, looking for another bathroom.

  I stumbled down the hall and finally found one. Thankfully this one was empty. I went in and took a piss. Then I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were glassy and I was having a hard time focusing. Kyla was going to be so pissed. Where the hell was she anyways?

  I made my way back to the crowd and spotted the back of her across the room. Her long, blond hair was hanging down in soft waves. I felt my dick harden at the sight of her. I had to have her right now! I needed to be inside my girl!

  I walked up behind her and grabbed her hand. I turned around and led her up the stairs, pulling her behind me. I found an empty room. I didn’t bother to turn the lights on. I could barely see her in the shadows. We didn’t say a word as we stripped our clothes off and made our way to the bed. I pushed her back on the mattress. “I want you, baby!” I said.

  She scooted up the mattress and spread her legs for me. I found a condom in my jeans that were now at my feet, and wasted no time rolling it on. I crawled up the bed and stuck my dick in her hot little pussy. “Baby, I’m so sorry. I’m so fucking drunk, but I just had to have you right now.”

  She moaned out in pleasured as I pounded into her over and over again.

  Chapter 41

  Kyla

  Thank god we were finally there. That drive took forever. I’d been trying to text and call Tyler, but he hadn’t answered. We got inside and I instantly knew why he hadn’t answered my calls. The bass was thumping and the music was blasting so loud, that you could barely hear yourself think.
