*I own Tayla Reigns*
*WARNING: CONTAINS SEXUAL CONTENT
A couple months passed by and Roman and Tayla were enjoying their married life together. They moved to Minnesota at the end of July but before they made it to Minnesota something fell through with their house so they didn't have a place to live when they arrived. The Vikings put them up in a hotel until they were able to find a new place to live. Tayla and Roman searched all over to find a place but couldn't find a house to rent in their budget so they settled for a small 1 bedroom apartment to get out of the hotel room that was a little smaller than their new apartment. It was mid-September before they moved into the apartment but they had a month to month lease just in case a home they liked popped up or a better apartment popped up. Roman had a busy football schedule starting at the end of July training and then doing pre-season games. Now the football season was underway and he was always at practice or he was away at a game. With Tayla working odd shifts at a nursing home and Roman focusing on football they were becoming strangers. They barely saw each other; when Tayla was leaving for work, Roman was coming home and vice versa. Tayla felt like she never saw her husband; this was not the life she expected to live. They texted each other and talked on the phone more than they actually saw each other in person.
Tayla and Roman had just moved into their apartment the week earlier so they were still unpacking and with their busy schedules it was taking longer than expected. Luckily for them Tayla had a couple days off of work so she was going to use those two days to unpack and get things finished up to make it seem like a home. The only thing they had unpacked were clothes to wear, towels and washcloths to shower with but everything else remained in the boxes. They had spent most of the week eating out since they had no food and no dishes or cups. Tayla just couldn't take it anymore she had to do something.
It was late Monday afternoon and Roman had been away at a game in California the day before. Tayla was in the kitchen unpacking all their kitchen stuff so she could go to the grocery store the next day and buy food for them to eat when Roman came in the front door. Tayla was on the floor putting cleaners and stuff in the counter underneath the sink when she heard the door slam shut. She could hear Roman mumbling to himself. She couldn't make out what he was saying but the few words she had heard were cuss words. "TAYLA!" he yelled as he walked into the living room.
"I'm in the kitchen," she hollered back before she stood up.
"Oh," he said calming down a bit as he walked into the kitchen. He walked over to her, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips softly. "Sorry."
"It's okay," she said wrapping her arms around him. It had been so long since she felt his arms wrapped around her and since she wrapped her arms around him. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," he said. "How is work going?"
"Busy," she said, "how is football?"
"Pissing me off," he said as he moved away from her and walked over to the fridge. He opened the door and saw that there was only milk and water in the fridge but nothing else. "There's no food?" he asked slamming the door shut before getting into the freezer to see there was no food there either. "Do we not have food?"
"No," she said, "we don't. I JUST unpacked the dishes and the kitchen stuff."
"When do you plan on going to the grocery store? I'm hungry. I just got off of an 8 hour flight to come back home and have no food. I thought you were going to the store yesterday?" He leaned against the counter and looked at Tayla as she took a deep breath. She got that he was upset about whatever was happening with football but he was being an asshole to her and she didn't like it.
"I'm sorry," she said, "I just worked 60 hours last week and I worked 10 hours today. I'm off the next couple days so I will go to the store tomorrow. We can just order out tonight. I'm sorry I'm so busy working to help pay the bills."
Roman let out a breath and said, "I'm sorry. Where are the menus? And what do you want to eat?"
"Anything," she said, "and the menus are in the drawer by the fridge."
Roman dug through the drawer and pulled out the menus. He went through them viciously tossing aside all the ones he didn't want. He finally stopped at a pizza place's menu. "How about pizza or a sub or whatever you want?"
"Pizza is fine," she said as she wiped off the counter. "And order a bottle of soda with it unless you want to drink milk with your pizza."
"Okay," he said as he grabbed the phone to order a pizza. "What kind do you want?"
"Order a Hawaiian pizza," she said.
"All right," he said as he dialed the number.
While he was on the phone she walked into the living room and took a seat on their couch. She turned on the TV that was automatically on ESPN. She groaned as they were talking about the football games from the previous day and changed the channel. Going by Roman's mood she didn't want him to see anything about football to make it worse. Roman hung up the phone and slammed it down on the counter before walking into the living room. He plopped down on the couch next to Tayla. "What is wrong with you?" she asked.
"Football," he said as he took the remote from between them and changed the channel Tayla was watching. "I'm not watching the Lifetime shit."
"Wow," said Tayla, "you're pissy."
"You're damn right I am. Did you see the game yesterday?"
"I was working," she said, "I didn't get a chance. What happened?"
"They didn't let me play," he said. "They benched me."
"Again?" she asked. Roman hadn't played at all during the season. Every game they had he was benched but he always worked hard at practice but never got to play.
"Yeah," he said. "I don't get it, Tay. I bust my ass at practice every day and then when it comes game time they bench me. I don't get it."
"That kind of sucks," she said, "but don't take your bad mood out on me. I haven't seen you forever and the one night we have together you are going to be rude to me."
"I know. I'm sorry. I am sorry," he said as his voice calmed. "It's not your fault."
"It's okay," she said as she moved closer to him on the couch. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She laid her head on his chest as she took his left hand and played with his black wedding ring. "Did you talk to the coach about it?"
"Yeah," he said, "and that's why I'm so upset."
"What did he say?" she asked as she moved the ring around on his finger as he smiled.
"It's unbelievable. He told me that I'm not game ready. He said that right now it's not my time. I asked him when I could play or when he thought I would be ready and he told me I'm not there to play the game. He said I'm there to fill in for those that get injured or aren't able to play but I'm not actually there to play the game. He told me I was signed to be on the practice roster not the game roster. I asked him why I'm busting my ass at practice just to sit on the bench come game time. I want to be out there playing so he told me that maybe next season I can play in a game. What was the point in signing me then? I am wasting my time and if I don't play I don't make as much money which means you are working more to pay my part of the rent."
"He didn't go over this with you when you signed the contract?" she asked as she stopped playing with his ring and intertwined their fingers as she took his hand and put her leg over his knee.
"No," he said, "he made it seem or sound like I was going to play in the games. He never said anything about just being practice roster. I think it is bullshit."
"It is," she said. "He should have told you all this when you signed the contract. This is why you never sign a contract without a lawyer. You should let my dad look it over. Did you read the contract before you signed it?"
"Yeah," he said in a duh tone. "I told you the contract said nothing about being a practice roster player."
"Well, my dad can look it over for you and if that's the case you can hold it against them to play in a game."
"Thanks," he said with a smile as he took his free hand and rubbed Tayla's smooth tanned leg that was propped up on his knee. "So how is work?"
"Good," she said, "it's busy. I mean I'm always there working. I just worked a 60 hour week last week but I'm making that money. I'm just glad I have the next couple days off to get stuff done in this apartment. I can't live out of anymore boxes or eat out another night of the week and I get to spend time with my awesomely hot husband." She shifted on the couch as Roman's hand went all the way up her thigh stopping just between her legs as he massaged her inner thigh with a smile. It had been just as long since they were intimate with each other. She wanted her husband badly. She smiled at him as he smiled back at her.
"Do you like that?" he asked with a smile.
"Yes," she said with a smile as he continued to massage her inner thigh.
"You know the best part about the next couple days for me?" he asked.
"Huh?" she asked.
"Making love to my beautiful hot wife," he said with a smile as he removed his hand from her thigh and removed her leg from his. He leaned in and kissed her lips softly as he laid her down on the couch. He was just about to remove her shirt when the doorbell rang. "Damn it," he said as he stood up. "That's the pizza." He took her hand and helped her up off the couch.
"I'll get the money," she said as she walked over to the chair to get the money out of her purse. Roman smacked her butt as she walked passed him. She smiled at him as she pulled the money out of her wallet. She handed it to him so he could pay the pizza guy. While he paid the pizza guy she got out two plates and two cups. She placed them on the table as Roman brought the pizza over to the table. "It smells so good."
"It does," he said laying it down on the table. "And eat fast and build up your endurance. It's going to be a busy night," he said giving her a smile as he opened the pizza box and placed pizza on each of their plates before taking a seat with Tayla while she poured them some soda. They both spent dinner time catching up with one another and talking about work. It was a long time since they actually had a conversation together face to face. Tayla enjoyed every moment of it and enjoyed seeing Roman's face.
When they were finished eating Tayla cleaned up the plates, placed them in the sink with the cups while Roman put the leftover pizza away in the fridge. Tayla was rinsing out the cups and rinsing off the plates when Roman came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He began to kiss her neck softly as she was cleaning up. "Leave it," he said as he breathed against her neck. "We'll get it in the morning. I need you tonight." His words sent a wave of ecstasy through her body. The sexiness of his voice and the heat of his breath on her neck made her weak. She dropped the plate into the sink and smiled. She turned around to face him.
"I need you tonight," she said with a smile before she kissed his lips passionately as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Roman smiled against her lips and guided them to the bedroom without breaking the kiss. He pushed her up against the bedroom door as they reached their room. He broke the kiss long enough to remove her black t-shirt exposing her pink bra she was wearing. Tayla smiled and helped Roman out of his t-shirt before she kissed his lips again. Roman picked her up and carried her over to their bed as she wrapped her legs around his waist never breaking the kiss. Roman laid her down on the bed gently before removing his sweatpants exposing his black briefs before laying his body on top of hers. Tayla moaned as Roman laid soft kisses on her neck and moaned louder as he gently bit and sucked on her neck. His kisses moved down her body stopping when he reached her pink bra. He unsnapped it quickly, removed it exposing her breasts. Roman took one hand and massaged her breast while he sucked the other one gently. Moans of pleasure escaped Tayla's lips. It had been so long since she felt his hands on her. "Roman," she moaned as he kissed her down her stomach. Roman moaned against her stomach as she ran her hands through his hair. Roman reached the top of her yoga pants and smiled as he removed them from her body exposing her matching pink underwear. Tayla moaned as she felt his hand rub her outside her underwear. Roman felt the wetness through her underwear. Roman quickly removed her underwear and began to rub her gently as she moaned out in pleasure. His fingers were like magic. She couldn't control herself anymore and released herself. Roman stood up and pulled off his briefs exposing his thick erection.
Roman spread Tayla's legs and laid his body on top of hers. "Are you ready?" he asked with a smile. Tayla nodded and Roman entered her a little harder than usual. Roman groaned as he felt himself inside of her. She was so tight and he fit perfectly. Tayla moaned at the feel of his thick erection inside of her. "Tayla," he said before he kissed her lips as he started to move in and out of her slowly. He groaned with each movement he made. Cries of pleasure escaped Tayla's lips as she moved to his rhythm. Roman moved harder and faster as he made love to his wife. He moaned as he felt her hands slide down his back and grab onto his butt. Tayla cried out in pleasure the harder he moved. The passion grew stronger, the sweat between them mixing Tayla felt it building deep inside of her. She couldn't control herself any longer before she reached her climax and released herself. "Mm. Tay," he said as picked up his pace. He felt it building and as he thrusts into her one last time he let out a grunt and a moan of pleasure before releasing himself deep inside of her. He collapsed his body on top of hers as they both lay there breathing heavily. Roman kissed her lips softly and said, "I love you, Tayla."
"I love you too," she said as Roman removed himself from her. He laid down next to her catching his breath as she caught hers. He pulled her into his arms and held her against his hot sweaty body. "Wow," she said, "It's been so long," she said as she ran her hand over his new Samoan tattoo on his shoulder. It was still in the beginning process. She traced it with her fingers as she felt his hand run over her back.
"I know," he said, "It was amazing."
"Very," she said with a smile.
"That was just the warm up," he said with a smile. "I have a lot of frustration built up."
"Me too," she said with a smile. "And if that was the warm up I can't for the encore," she said with a smile as she felt him growing hard again.
"You don't have to wait much longer," he said with a smile as he rolled on top of her. They spent the rest of the night passionately making love to each other. They finished just as the sun was about to rise the next morning. They fell asleep in each other's arms, holding on to each other tightly as they slept.
The sun was shining in through the curtains and Roman's cell phone started going off. Tayla groaned as it woke her up. Roman slept peacefully as his phone rang. "Roman," she groaned. "Make it stop." She hated to wake him up because he looked so cute sleeping but she wanted the phone to stop ringing so that she could go back to sleep. "Roman," she said waking him up.
"What?" he asked as his eyes popped open. "What's wrong?"
"Answer your phone or make it stop ringing."
"Damn it," he said as he reached over for his phone. "What time is it?"
"10," she said, "I want to go back to sleep. Make the phone stop ringing."
Roman groaned as he saw it was his coach calling. He had just enjoyed a beautiful night with his wife and was hoping for a beautiful morning with her too. He didn't want to be bothered by his coach but he answered the phone anyway as he held onto Tayla. "Hello?" he said into the phone as Tayla ran her hand over his firm chest.
"I'm sorry to bother you," said the coach, "but I need to talk to you as soon as possible. Do you have time right now?"
"I'm kind of busy right now," he said.
"Well, I really wanted to talk to you. Can you please come over so we can talk?"
"I guess," he said. "It can't wait till practice later?"
"No," he said. "I need to talk to you now."
"All right," he said with a sigh. "I'll be right there. Bye," he said as he hung up the phone. "I have to go see the coach. I'll be back."
"Uh huh," said Tayla sleepily. She was half asleep. "Have fun. I'll be sleeping."
"All right," he said with a smile. She was so beautiful. He gently got out of bed and walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower and then got dressed to go see his coach. He left without waking Tayla back up and headed over to the field to visit with the coach. He didn't understand why it couldn't wait until practice. He pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car.
He walked to the locker room and saw the coach sitting in his office. He knocked on the door. "Roman," he said, "Come in."
Roman walked into the office and said, "you wanted to see me?"
"Sit down we need to talk," he said.
"All right," said Roman as he took a seat.
"Roman, there's no easy way to say this but we're going to need to let you go from your contract. There are just too many players and we have to let you go."
"What?" asked Roman.
"I'm sorry. It's just not working out. You're a talented guy but you're just not the right fit for the Vikings. I'm sorry. We have to let you go."
"So you're releasing me from my contract?" he asked. He wanted to cry from anger. He couldn't believe this was happening.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I wish you the best in the future."
"Yeah," said Roman as he stood up. "Whatever. Is that all?"
"Yes," he said, "and once again. I'm sorry."
"I'm sure you are," said Roman before he walked out of the office. He had no idea what he was going to do next or where he was going to go. The one thing he was not looking forward to doing was telling Tayla the news. He knew she wasn't going to handle it well.
*A/N: So what did you think? How do you think Tayla is going to react to the news and what is next for Roman? What are they going to do now? Who wants more? Please review and thank-you for reading.
