before?”
“Yeah, you’re my biggest advocate.”
“It looks like you won’t need my help anymore.”
“I never really needed your help getting laid. You do know that.”
“Okay, stud. You just remember that the next time you’re away from home and need a stress reliever. Sophia can’t be with you all the time.” Kenny got out of the car and headed into the office of the dealership, effectively ending their conversation. Pax hoped that would be the last of it.
I don’t want anyone else.
Chapter 12
Monday morning Pax hit the shower. He’d gone on an early morning run with his favorite girl and then did a two hour workout with the team. He and Sophia were going to dinner in Newport. He had heard of a secluded restaurant on the water from some of his team members. This would be their first official date since becoming a couple.
A couple?
The idea was still so new to him. He would never have imagined being monogamous could be so satisfying. The thought of waking up next to her every morning exhilarated him. There had been many women in college, the minor leagues, and even as a pro traveling from city to city. He didn’t lack companionship, but something had been missing. Just because he was rarely alone hadn’t meant he wasn’t lonely. The void he hadn’t realized he tried to fill seemed to disappear when he met Sophia.
Pax toweled off and threw on a pair of sweatpants. The early morning exercising contributed to his hearty appetite. Lunch was the only thing on his mind as he stepped out of the bathroom.
“What the hell?” He stopped and watched as a curvy, bleach blonde girl walked into his room.
“Hey.” She smiled as she closed the door behind her. She stood before him in a tight-fitting Crushers t-shirt and a tiny pair of jean shorts. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders and covered the tops of her breasts that pushed out of the top of the v-neck that she’d cut out of the shirt herself.
Concession stand girl. The one who does everything.
“How did you get in here?” He grabbed the shirt that was draped over the chair in the corner of the room.
“Kenny gave me a key.” She opened her palm to show him the silver key that had helped her gain entry into his house. “He said you had an intense workout and you could use a massage.”
“You’re a masseuse?”
“I can be anything you want me to be.” She walked toward him, stopping just an inch or so from where he stood. “I’m here to help relieve your tension.” She reached out and traced her fingers over his tattoo. “This is cool.”
“Stop.” He grabbed her arm. “There’s been a misunderstanding.” He was going to kill Kenny for this. “You have to go.”
“What?” She crinkled her nose. “But Kenny said—”
“Yeah, Kenny shouldn’t have sent you here.” He let go of her wrist and motioned for her to follow him. “I’m seeing someone, and I’m not interested in anyone else.”
“The girl you’ve been coming to the team parties with? She’s your girlfriend?”
Blondie looked surprised. Pax hadn’t noticed her at the bar or the parties but he had been preoccupied the past few weeks.
“Yeah, I’m sorry you wasted your time. What’s your name?”
“Carla.” She followed him down the stairs.
“Carla, I’m sorry that you came all the way out here, but you have to go.” He pulled the t-shirt over his head when he reached the bottom of the staircase.
“Are you sure?” She licked her bottom lip and gazed into his eyes. “I know you’re not one for monogamy. You have a pretty crazy reputation.” She moved closer to him. “If you wanted to play, I wouldn’t tell anyone.”
“I’m sure you’re a really nice girl but—”
“I’m a really bad girl.” She placed her palms on his chest, running them down to his abs. “That’s why Kenny sent me.”
Kenny was going to be sorry. Pax thought he made it clear when he said he was seeing Sophia.
“Okay.” He stepped around her and
