Chapter 39
Niko’s been gone for three days traveling with the Bobcats to Milwaukee for round two of the playoffs. They lost both games at home and their first game there, which means they need to win game four tonight or they’re out of the playoffs.
It’s been different this time, him being away for a few days.
It’s only been a little over a week since we took the leap to be in a relationship.
Are we in a relationship? I mean, those words were never said out loud, but after we got home from the engagement party, he told me I was exactly what he was waiting for.
We spent the entire night taking turns worshiping each other’s bodies.
We haven’t had sex yet but we’re in no rush.
We’re taking it slow. Ish. We also agreed to keep things between us for now, not wanting the outside world to burst our bubble.
He’s texted and FaceTimed with Sophia as he normally would, but he’s also called me every night after Sophia’s in bed.
He even called me after their overtime loss, which I was not expecting.
I’ve seen him after a loss. He takes it almost as hard as Ellie does, always taking blame.
I guess that’s part of the job as a captain.
I just wish he wasn’t carrying so much all the time.
To ease some of the burden, I’ve planned the majority of Sophia’s birthday party myself with the help of Niko’s mom, Meri. Niko was more than willing to hand over the reins.
I just got off the phone with the traveling petting zoo to confirm they’ll be here tomorrow at 3 p.m. sharp.
I check the time to make sure Niko isn’t in a meeting before his game tonight.
It’s just after one so he’s either napping or hanging with Connor.
If he’s napping, hopefully his phone is on silent.
I shoot a text to the group chat we created to keep Niko in the loop as we’ve been planning, even though he doesn’t really care about Frozen decorations and what kind of appetizers we’ll be serving before dinner.
Petting zoo confirmed tomorrow at 3.
Meri
I can’t wait to see the look on Sophia’s face when she sees the goats tomorrow.
She asks Niko every other day when they can get a goat of their own. I fear this may only make it worse.
Niko
Something to look forward to.
As I’m typing out a snarky response, my screen changes to a picture of Niko, signaling an incoming FaceTime call. I accept it and see that he’s leaning against the headboard in his hotel room, looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
“No pregame nap today, Cap?”
Niko scrubs his hand over his face where a pretty substantial beard has grown.
I know playoff beards are a thing, but with how superstitious athletes can be, I would’ve thought the Bobcats would have shaved by now to try to change their luck.
Three losses in a row is almost impossible to come back from.
I’d be trying every trick in the book to bring some positive juju into my life.
But I gotta admit, Niko looks damn good with a beard. He looks like a sexy lumberjack. All he’s missing is a flannel.
“I’m too amped up for the game tonight. I couldn’t fall asleep and then you texted so I figured it was an okay time to call. Where’s Sophia?”
I walk out to the back patio and close the door behind me. May has brought some pretty warm weather and there’s not a cloud in the sky. Knowing Wisconsin, this weather won’t last, so I relax on a lounge chair and take a moment to enjoy the sun on my skin.
“Believe it or not, she’s taking a nap.”
Naps are becoming a thing of the past the closer we get to Sophia’s fifth birthday.
It takes an exceptionally busy day to get her to even want to lie down for a break these days.
She has no idea what we have planned for her tomorrow and part of that was strategic.
If she knew she’d be hanging out with goats tomorrow, she’d never sleep tonight.
The only thing she thinks is happening is a morning at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park with her grandparents, followed by a night of movies and ice cream with me and her dad.
“So what you’re saying is you’re alone right now.” Niko licks his lips and the look in his eyes tells me he’s up to no good.
“I am…” My voice trails off and my heart picks up speed, knowing exactly where this is going.
Niko reaches down out of view of the camera, but I know the minute his hand finds his cock because he closes his eyes and hisses a breath.
As much as I want Niko to own every part of me, I’m enjoying the fact that we’re taking things slow. But sex via video call is exhilarating and has me breathing heavily in anticipation. It’s going to be a first for me.
“Take your pants off, Sadie.” Niko’s voice is strong and commanding and it sends a thrill through me. I can already feel heat gathering between my legs at the thought of doing this with him.
I do as I’m told, grateful Niko’s house is at the end of the street and he has plenty of property, making his neighbors’ houses completely out of sight.
I don’t take them all the way off though, stopping at my ankles, afraid that Sophia may wake up at any moment.
I double-check her monitor volume is turned up all the way so I can hear her call my name if she wakes, then blacken the screen.
“I’ve never done this before.” My voice is breathy, heavy with need, and I move my fingers down to start playing with my piercing.
Niko tsks and shakes his head. “I didn’t tell you to touch yourself yet.”
My hand freezes in place. This dominant side of Niko is new to me and it’s fucking hot. There’s an aching between my legs and I am desperate to touch myself but I wait for Niko’s permission.
“Lift your shirt and play with your nipples.”
I thank whatever greater power was at work this morning when I picked out my outfit because I chose one of my work out tanks with a built-in bra. I lift my shirt and the band beneath my boobs and rest it up near my collarbone.
My fingers find my already peeked nipple and I start rolling it between them. Niko’s raspy voice praises me while I do.
“That’s it, baby. I know you like it a little rough so give it a nice pinch for me.”
I do as he says, and moan as I add more and more pressure.
“Look what you do to me, Kulta.” Niko flips the screen on our video call and his extremely hard, long dick is front and center.
He’s so thick and veiny, I wish I could wrap my mouth around his tip and show him how much I love it.
His hand is slowly stroking his cock up and down, and the aching between my legs becomes unbearable.
A frustrated sigh escapes my lips as I try like hell to get myself off by playing with my nipples but it’s impossible. One of the reasons I got my hood piercing was because I almost always need clit stimulation to get off.
The camera flips back to Niko’s face, and I immediately miss the sight of his dick.
“Okay, Sadie. Play with that piercing for me.”
Thank god.
My hand slides down in between my legs and I start playing with myself. My orgasm is already so close after a few flicks and circles over my piercing.
“Show me.”
Niko’s commanding tone has me almost combusting on the spot. Not wanting to finish until he does, I stop circling my clit and slide one finger inside. Somehow I manage to flip the camera around with one hand, and Niko groans when he sees me sliding a finger in and out of my dripping pussy.
“Fuck, Sadie. Your finger is glistening. I wish I was there to lick you clean. Add another finger for me.”
I add a second finger and this time when I press them inside myself, I curl my fingers and try to hit the spot Niko always seems to hit when his fingers are inside of me.
“It’s not the same. I miss your fingers. I wish you were here doing this instead and I wish it was my mouth and not your hand wrapped around your cock.”
Niko flips his camera around again. All you can see on my screen is his large hand pumping his thick cock and a little square in the corner that shows me finger fucking myself. This is the most erotic thing I’ve ever done and I am so fucking here for it.
The only sounds you can hear are Niko’s labored breathing and the sound of our hands and fingers working in tandem. Niko’s voice cuts through and sends chills down my spine.
“Tell me what that pretty little mouth would be doing, Sadie.”
I play with my clit for a few seconds, unable to speak, and then pause again so I can tell Niko exactly what I wish I was doing right now.
“First, I’d grip your dick nice and tight and glide my tongue along the base.
Once I got to the tip, I’d twirl it around the thick head of your cock.
I’m not the only one who likes it a little rough, so the first time I took you deep into my throat, I’d slide my teeth along your shaft as I worked you to the back out of my mouth. ”
Niko’s hand starts pumping faster and faster. “Yes, baby. It sounds so good.”
My thumb finds my clit and I push myself closer and closer to the edge and then continue talking to Niko. “I’d use my free hand to cup your balls. I want to feel how full they are for me.”
“I’m going to come, Sadie. I want you to come with me. Are you close?”
He can’t see me but I nod anyway. “Yes. I’m so close.”
“Come for me, sweetheart. Let me hear you moan my name.”
His words ignite a fire at me and I buck off the lounger and moan his name. “Oh fuck! Niko.”
My eyes stay locked on my phone when I hear Niko grunt and curse my name. Long, thick ropes of cum land on his lower stomach and I’m surprised at how aroused I feel watching it happen.
I’ve yet to have this man inside me but he’s made me feel more satisfied than I’ve ever felt in my life. And that was over the damn phone. My thighs clench at the thought of how good it will be when I finally do feel him inside of me.
Niko flips the camera around, a satisfied grin on his face. I do the same to my camera and can’t help the laugh that bubbles out of me.
“You did so good, baby. Coming with me like I told you to. I’m going to have to reward you when I get home.” Niko licks his lips and I feel like I could easily orgasm again if he simply asked me to.
Feeling comfortable in my own skin has always been a struggle for me.
My sex life has always been less than exciting before meeting Niko.
It’s hard to feel sexy with someone in bed when they are constantly putting you down outside of it.
But it’s different with Niko. Everything is different with Niko.
I can’t freaking wait to see what it’s like when we finally do have sex the first time.
“You promise?” My voice is more seductive than I’ve ever heard it. My confidence is at an all-time high around this man.
He throws his arm behind his head and grins at me again. “I promise. And I hope you promise to do exactly what you said you would with that dirty mouth of yours when I get home.”
I bite my lower lip and nod at him. Niko goes to speak but Sophia’s voice rings out over her monitor.
“Miss Sadie!”
Niko and I look like we literally just got caught in the act.
I guess we sort of did. His eyebrows shoot up to his brow, and I scramble to pull up my leggings and fix my shirt.
I abandon my phone on the lounge chair as I stand and smooth down my clothes, as if the five-year-old will be able to tell I just had phone sex with her dad.
I grab the monitor first, pushing the button to speak to Sophia.
“Hi, Sunshine. I’m on the back patio talking to your dad if you want to come say hi.”
Sophia leaps out of her bed and I grab my phone. We’re still connected on our video call but there’s no Niko. The only thing I see is the ceiling of his hotel room.
Niko’s face fills the screen just as I see Sophia bound toward the patio door.
“Fuck, Sadie. A little warning next time. I still had a mess to clean up.”
I wink at him just as Sophia opens the door.
“That was a good nap, Sophia! Want to say hi to your dad?”
I’m looking at Sophia but I can still see Niko’s disgruntled face in my peripheral. He smooths a hand down his face and takes a deep breath. “Okay, I’m good.”
Sophia skips to one of the open chairs on the patio and I follow her. Just as I’m about to hand her the phone, I hear Niko’s voice again.
“Oh, and Sadie?” I bring the phone back up to my face and suck in a sharp breath when I see the sinister look on Niko’s face. “You’re gonna pay for that.”
I can’t wait.
