“Aight. Don’t get too personal, though.” He chuckled.

“Why do they call you Moo?” Amina asked. She was one of the players’ wives.

“Man, I don’t know. That’s something you have to ask my mother.”

“Are you really single?” Chanel’s messy ass asked. I elbowed her.

“Shit, I found out when y’all did.” He responded with a shrug.

“You really be out here trickin’?” Chanel asked. Her ass was so fucking messy.

Saint glanced at me, swiping his tongue across his bottom lip. “If I like you, imma spend some money.”

A girl whose name I didn’t catch laughed and slapped her hand on his shoulder, “Oh, I guess I need to make you like me.”

“Okay, minute up,” Symone said, cutting her eyes at the girl. It was now Chanel’s turn to pull a card.

“Take two shots if you’ve ever damaged someone else’s car.” Chanel spun around to face me and burst out laughing. I pursed my lips and took two shots. A few other girls followed suit. The game kept going for a few more rounds before we ended it.

Dru, Saint’s best friend, had sparked a few blunts that were currently in rotation. The athletes weren’t participating.

“Listen, I’d do anything for those Lil Ricky tickets. They sold out so fast. I almost cried.” I said, blowing smoke from my mouth.

“Girl, we got an entire section. Ya’ll are welcome to come.” Taryn said.

“Oh, I ain’t turning down no free concert,” Chanel responded, slapping hands with me.

“I’m about to go pee,” I said, passing the blunt to Taryn. I stood from the couch, feeling the effects of the shots we’d taken. I glanced around the room, immediately meeting Saint’s gaze. He swiped his tongue across his bottom lip, giving me a small grin. I returned the smile before leaving the room. I heard heavy footsteps following behind me as I walked down the hall. The hairs on my arms stood. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Saint. I could smell him. His large arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into him. I instantly melted against him.

“Where you goin’?” He asked, pressing his lower half into me.

“To the bathroom, Moo moveee before I pee on myself.” I laughed, attempting to remove myself from his arms.

He tightened his arms around me, leaning down to nuzzle his face into my neck. “You smell so good… You can use my bathroom, come on.” He grabbed my hand, leading me into the room down the hall. He closed the door behind him and pointed to the bathroom.

When I came out of the bathroom, Saint was sitting on the bed with his phone in his hands. “How you got your phone, but you made us put ours up?”

He laughed, pulling me between his legs. “You so fuckin’ good tonight,” he said, a smile spreading across his face as he wrapped his arms around my waist. His face was mere inches from mine, and I could smell the tequila on his breath. Before I knew it, his lips were pressed against mine. I let out a soft moan, my arms snaking around his neck as I kissed him back. His lipswere smooth and soft. I opened my mouth, darting my tongue into his. I felt his hands shift from my waist to my ass, gripping it tightly. Butterflies rumbled through my stomach.

The spark we’ve tried to ignore had been ignited. Our tongues swirled around each other as his fingers dug into my ass, kneading it gently. His lips moved from my mouth down to my neck, leaving a trail of soft, wet kisses in their wake. His teeth sank lightly into my skin, biting it gently. Heat surged through me, centering in my core. He lifted me and placed me in his lap. His lips were back on mine, our tongues exploring each other in a slow, intoxicating rhythm. I could feel him growing hard underneath me.

“Ay Moo-,” The bedroom door swung open, causing me to jump from his lap. “Oh shit, my bad y’all,” Dru said, smirking. He closed the door before turning to leave.

“I-..uh, we shouldn’t have done that..” I said, chewing on my bottom lip. My entire body felt like it was on fire, and only Saint could put it out.

“I wanted to… my bad if I crossed the line, but I can’t act like I haven’t always been attracted to you.” He responded, taking my hand into his.

“I’m your PT. I could lose my job because of this… I’m gonna go.. Thanks for inviting us, Moo.” I slid off the bed.

“Look, it’s late. And y’all are both too drunk to drive home. I have another guest room y’all could sleep in.”

I nodded. “Okay.. I’m gonna go check on Chanel.” I quickly left the room, making my way back into the entertainment room. The room was practically empty. Dru and Chanel were the only two left. She was seated next to him, running her hand down his arm. I cleared my throat, causing her head to shoot up.

“Oh, hey, Bless, I was looking for you… Uh, I’m about to leave with Dru. Do you want him to drop you off at home?”

I gave her a questioning look before shaking my head, “Nah, girl, go ahead. Have fun, be safe. Please let me know when you arrive safely. Love you.” I gave her a quick hug. I followed behind them as they walked to the front door. Our phones were the only ones left in the basket. I grabbed mine and headed back to Saint’s bedroom. He was in the same spot I had left him, scrolling on his phone.

“Hey.. Chanel left with Dru. So it’s just me. Can I have something to sleep in?”
