screamed out.
    “Fuck yeah you are!” he shouted and hopped down from his pedestal.
    Even Marty was smiling. Ace had a way of getting you fired up over anything. I was pretty sure he could get us all chanting about hemorrhoid cream if he wanted to.
    Coach Griffin walked into the locker room with a clipboard in his hand and a whistle around his neck. He blew it twice to get everyone’s attention. I shook my head, thinking how much easier Ace got everyone quieted down than the coach. We went over the details of our practice and then he yelled for us to get out on the field.
    We all spread out and stretched before pairing up to basically play catch before starting batting practice. The stands had several fans there to watch, including a beautiful blonde with large blue eyes. She stared at me so intently that it made me nervous.
    “Looks like you got a fresh one on the line.” Ace slapped me on the back as he spoke.
    I laughed it off and ran to my position, waiting for him to toss the ball. I could feel her eyes on me the entire time, even though I refused to look in her direction. Batting practice started, and I took my spot on the mound.
    “Show me what you got, Malone!” she shouted and jumped up from her seat to cheer me on.
    We had fans back in college, sometimes women who wanted to hook up with some of the better players in hopes of snagging them before they hit it big. But this… this was different, we were all big players now with large paychecks, and the women seemed much more aggressive than any I had experienced.
    Keep your nose clean, Calvin. You’ve already fucked up once.
    Ace made his way to the fence and leaned over to whisper something in a petite brunette’s ear. I watched as she giggled and blushed. He grabbed a bat and took his position at the plate, winking at me before swinging at one of my warm-up pitches.
    The crack was deafening and the ball gone. I squinted, watching it soar past the outfielders and then past the fence. He was certainly a power hitter, but as he dropped the bat and moved back towards that little brunette, it was obvious he was more of a power player than anything else.
    I knew I needed to stay away from him, but he was impressive, smooth, and charm oozed from his pores. He demanded attention and usually received it from whoever he wanted.

    T he water washed over me, cleansing the scent of Calvin from my body. I couldn’t resist him this morning, but I knew I should’ve. My breasts were still sensitive as the water streamed onto my nipples, and my pussy still ached from where it had been stretched to accommodate him after so long.
    You gave in, Whitney. Good job!
    I scolded myself, but I knew it was unnecessary because Holly would be here soon to scold me plenty. What would Calvin think when she arrived? I knew he would be pissed, and why wouldn’t he? They barely got along, and any time there was trouble between us, Holly was quick to point the finger at Calvin, even when it wasn’t his fault. Our troubles were usually small, silly stuff like forgetting my birthday one year, or arguments over his obsession with baseball. This trouble was different, and it felt huge.
    There had never been another woman between us, at least not like the blonde who so freely showed off her vagina — in public — like Calvin was a gynecologist giving her an exam. He had his share of groupies, but Calvin was always polite. He signed autographs, let them snap a picture with him after a big game, but he never flirted, and he certainly never let them hang on him like that slutty blonde.
    My blood was boiling again, the sweet thoughts of our lovemaking this morning had vanished from my mind, and all that was left was anger, confusion, and pain.
    I dressed in my cutest white sundress, the one that showed off my tan and my cleavage, figuring I would take Calvin up on his offer and stop by his practice later that day. The credit card he left on the bed taunted me as I started
