More Than Enough (Enough #2) (13 page)

She looks at me now with tears welling in her eyes and says, “Oh, Keller, I want you to have a girl that’s just yours.”
Then Brayden buts in with, “Yeah, and she’s my fucking girl. Not yours. When are you going to get that through your damn hard ass head?” I just stare him down until Carter says, “Bray, Kell, I think it’s time I get back to my dorm. I have practices for both dance and volleyball tomorrow, and I’m going to be exhausted if I don’t get to bed now.”

Brayden’s eyes soften as he looks at her, and he says, “Of course, baby, let me walk you back so you can get in bed.” He walks by me and give me a hard shoulder shove. A little guilt
seeps in for not keeping my mouth shut, but not enough to make me apologize. We’ve never let each other’s feelings get in the way of how we treated or talked to Carter. I’m not going to hide from him how I feel. He got her, shouldn’t I at least be able to express the fact that I cared about her still.

I shower and get ready to crash when Brayden finally get back. He sighs and says, “Look, I know you still love Carter, but I’m happy that you’re able to get something going with Athena. She seems like a really cool girl, and I hope that you can just get some enjoyment out of it.” His voice changes as it get
s more tense and angry as he continues, “But listen, bro, you’ve got to keep some of what you feel about Carter to yourself. One of these days you’re going to say something, and I’m going to lose it. I don’t care about hurting you when you’re fucking asking for it, but I don’t want to upset Carter. So be careful what you say. Kissing her was already really fucking shady. No more, Keller, I mean it.”

“I’ll do my
best, Brayden, but I’m asking you, just fucking once, to put yourself in my place. Not being able to kiss or touch her but having to sit back and watch it all happen. Sometimes I’ve got to be able to just tell her how I feel. I always have.” He groans and just says annoyed but with understanding, “I know, Keller, I know.”

With that, we just can’t talk to each other anymore about it, and I drift off to sleep. The next morning did not
start out well. I slept through my alarm, and Brayden, who might still be a little pissed about last night, did not wake me up on his way out. I was twenty minutes late for my first class, and when I get to the breakfast café where I was meeting up with Athena, Carter, and Brayden, I spot Athena standing way to close to Jason Fulton, who’s on the basketball team.

As I walk up, she’s laughing at something he says. And it just makes me feel angry to watch him flirt with her. As I reach her, I swing my arm around her shoulder and try to gently pull her into me. She’s startled at first but when she sees it’s me, she relaxes. Josh looks surprised and says, “Hey, Keller, man, what’s up.” I try to keep it just as casual and say, “Not a lot, Josh, how’s it going?” He answers, “Good, man, good. The football team’s looking really sharp this year.” “Yeah, we are.” I respond and then turn toward Athena a
nd say, “Good morning, Red. Did you get everything you needed done last night?” She nods happily and says, “Yeah, I did, and I must say doing laundry at your condo is way better than at the dorm.”

Josh looks back and forth between us and finally seems to put the pieces together that we’re a couple. “Wow, didn’t realize you two were together. Keller, man, you haven’t really showed an interest in anybody ever.” I just shrug and say, “Athena’s special.” She beams up at me at that, and I can’t resist her full pink lips pointed up towards me. I cover her mouth with
mine and just can’t seem to stop. By the time we come up for air, Josh and almost everybody else is gone.

I look around while we walk towards a table and notice that Carter and Brayden aren’t here, “Where’s Carter and Brayden?” Athena rolls her eyes and laughs,
“Carter left a book that she needed for her next class in her room so Brayden wouldn’t let her go get it alone. It’s been over twenty minutes, and they haven’t come back. I’m assuming they found something more interesting to do than eat breakfast.” I felt a little twinge at that thought but didn’t show any real response to Athena.

“So it’s just me and you, huh?” She takes a bit
e of her bagel that was just delivered, “Yep, just me and you.” She winks at me and starts stroking her foot up and down my leg. I harden just from the physical contact with her, and just then, a waiter delivers a bacon and egg sandwich that I wanted but hadn’t ordered yet. I look at Athena confused, and she explained, “Your brother bought everybody’s breakfast before he followed Carter out. They just took theirs to go.”

That sounded like him. He can be such a nice guy in some ways and such an asshole in others. Athena asks me, “You nervous about the game against Clemson this Saturday?” “Yeah, they’re the hardest team we’ve played yet, and I hope Brayden can continue to handle the pressure. Their offense is really fast, and
I’ve been watching a lot of video on them. I just want to make some tackles and not let them score.”

She smiles and says, “That’s a good plan, stick with that.” I tickle her until she begs me to stop. I tell her, “That’s for being a smart ass, and for the defense that’s always the plan. We don’t have to be super creative, just stop the play.” She just laughs, and I leave a tip as we get up to leave the shop.

“I can leave a tip,” she says sassily. “Not when I’m around.” I tell her. She just makes a face at me and says frustrated, “Neither you nor Brayden ever lets a girl pay for anything.” I just shrug and explain, “You can blame that on our mother. Before she died, she told us we were always to treat the girl we were with as a lady. We both try to follow everything our mother told us.”

She looks serious all the sudden and says, “I’m sorry she died, Keller. She sounds like she was a lady.” I nod and just say, “She was.” I think Athena can tell that I want to change the subject after this, and she starts to talk about how at dance last week everybody was going in different direction. They realized that the room that they were practicing in had mirrors that were all turned slightly giving each girl a little bit different image. She said it took twenty minutes before they identified the problem. They just kept blaming each o
ther. We laughed over that together until we had to part ways.

I smiled all the way to my next class where I ran into Brant. He said, “Hey, man, what has you so happy? Did you score with Athena this weekend? She’s one hot piece of ass
, but she’s never given anyone around here the time of day.” He studies my face as I try to keep it expressionless even though he’s pissed me off. “You did bang her, didn’t you? Man, you’ve got to tell me how you got her to give it up.?” After his last statement, I felt the defensive anger and protectiveness that up until this time had only been reserved for Carter and decided I need to do something about Brant’s mouth right now.

I moved in close to him until he looked intimidated. Then I said as coldly as possible, “I’m going to speak slowly so that you can understand exactly what I’m saying. If you say another damn word about Athena or Carter to me or anyone else, I’m going to kick your ass to the point
where you won’t be able to lift a football much less play on the team. You’re an asshole, and I don’t like you. Stay out of my way, leave the girls alone, and we’ll be just fine. You cross me or open your damn mouth one more time, and it’s over, Brant.”

With
that I strided towards a seat in the back, and my angry expression kept anyone from sitting next to me during the class. I thought about how much I liked Athena and how relaxing but fun she was to be around. I couldn’t wait for us to have sex, but I also just enjoyed hanging out and being around her. I was starting to just appreciate someone to date and share things with.

The next two months past fast, and we’re into November before I even realize where the time went. Having Athena in my life has really changed things for me. So much of my time is spent running, hanging out, or studying with her, and I just didn’t even realize how far I had separated myself from everyone until I let her in.

I still was trying to keep things light, and not get into the love yous and emotional dependency that I’m just not ready to feel for anybody but Carter. Physically, we still haven’t had sex but have fooled around and done almost everything but that. She seems a little hesitant on taking that final step, and I don’t want to be that guy that pushes her into something that she’s not ready for. I want her so bad though that soon I might give up my moral high ground and start exerting some pressure on her. That’s how bad I want her right now.

That’s all I can think about, and it’s always what I’m dreaming about too. I keep waking up as I’m pumping into her when I realize it’s just another dream. I’ve had enough cold showers to last for the rest of my life. But tonight, I’m starting to feel like something could be different. We’re playing a big game against the Florida Gators, and I asked Athena this morning what she would give me as a reward if I won the game. She rubbed herself against me discreetly and said, “You’ll just have to wait and see.”

With that, she walked off to her next class and her flirty look filled with promise keeps popping up in my head. I head back to my dorm to kill an hour before I’ve got to head down to the stadium to get ready. I walk into my room, and Athena’s in there sitting in my chair with her legs crossed and up on my desk. She’s wearing a white bra and thong set and nothing else. It’s the stuff of my fantasies, and I don’t know how to even respond to all this.

She gives me a seductive smile and says with some humor in her voice, “So are you going to come all the way in or just stand there so anybody can see me in this?” I comprehend that I’m j
ust standing in the doorway staring at her. So I step inside and slam the door hard in my eagerness.

I look to her for more direction since I still haven’t decided exactly what I’m supposed to do in this situation. Athena gets up from the chair and starts moving towards me slowly. This gives me time to take her all in. Her legs look so long and tan in her white heels
, and her tits look so mouth-watering that I want to spend the whole next hour that I’ve got just playing with them.

As she reaches me, I reach to touch them and kiss her, but she takes a teasing step back and shakes her head. She tells me, “Right now, this is all about you and what you need, Keller. You’ve got a huge game coming up tonight, and I want to help you relax and enjoy yourself for a little while.” I nod eagerly as everyth
ing she just said sounds promising.

But as I reach to touch her again, she steps back. I look at her in confusion, and I think she can tell. She explains, “Today isn’t about bringing me pleasure, but about yours. I want to touch you.” I want to protest, but my dick has already jumped in response to her words. She leads me over and gestures for me to sit down in the chair.

I follow her directions and sit. She leans over and kisses me, and I pull her into my lap. She pulls my head down into her chest, and I just rub myself against her tits as I just enjoy the feeling of them. She snaps off her bra, and I just start kissing and sucking on them immediately. She moans in pleasure and just seems to enjoy what I’m doing until my hand wanders to her panties. She slides off me at that point, and I’m about to beg her to come back until she slides to her knees.

She undoes my shorts and pulls them down with my help. She doesn’t even look up but just starts stroking me in a rhythm that she knows I love. I lose my mind and just start encouraging her, “Athena, Shit, that feels so good. Don’t stop, baby, please, I love when you touch me like that.”

My eyes were closed with just the powerful feelings of pleasure, but I force them open. I don’t want to miss a minute of this visual, and instantly, I’m grateful that I did. She just leaned down and took me in her mouth. The feeling and the visual of this happening almost have me exploding immediately, but I hold it back and just try to enjoy what’s transpiring for a moment. Her red hair is down and everywhere, and she licks and sucks me until I can’t help but to just let go.

Afterwards, we clean up, and I just hold her to me. I say softly, “
Thank you. I’ve dreamed of that happening for a long time, and it was exactly what I needed right now. What made you take the initiative on that?” She looks down and embarrassed now, when she seemed in charge and embowered when she was doing it.

She finally says, “Carter was just saying how stressful it is for Brayden before a game, and what she does to help him relax. I just thought that we’re exclusive, and I should help you relax too. It definitely wasn’t in my comfort zone to be in charge like that, but it was kinda fun.” She giggled and added, “And you definitely seemed to enjoy it.”

I tickled her for that and said jokingly, “Yeah, you could say that, I guess.” She smacked me lightly, and I looked over at the clock and saw that I had five minutes before I had to leave. I stood her up and got up myself and started gathering everything I needed. I pulled her to me before I left and said, “Okay, be ready to dance and cheer for your man tonight. I’m going to try to make a record number of tackles.”

She just stared at me in shock, and I asked her, “What’d I say?” She whispered, “You said you’re my man.” I looked at her baffled and told her, “Well, yeah, I assumed I was. I mean we are exclusive. I don’t go in for all that touchy feely stuff, but I think we’re definitely boyfriend and girlfriend.” She seemed to exude happiness all the sudden, and I berated myself
for not at least giving her the security of a title before. I didn’t want to give her false expectations, but I also didn’t want her wondering all the time where we stood.
