Hey y'all! I'm back with this chapter! I thought I was going to end this book soon, but I think I might just make it longer as I've had some really good ideas about the future pertaining to their storyline! Let me know what you think in the comments! I'll be updating I'll Always Be Here within a few days!

Hope everyone is staying safe as our world slowly begins to reopen! Also, some parts are rated M, nothing new!

"So, have you talked to boy wonder yet about you two?" Meg looked at Erin as they were lined up for their field performance of tonight's game against the Denver Broncos on this humid Thursday in Dallas. It had been three weeks since their conversation in New England. Three more weeks the young friends were able to keep their relationship under wraps. Three more weeks they hadn't discussed their future, but three more weeks of blissful sex.

"No. I want to bring it up tonight, though." She was determined to. They'd spent almost every night together. She barely even saw Meg at home now. And every night they were together, whether they fucked or not, Erin could feel the increase of butterflies in her stomach.

"I don't mean to get all up in your business, but you essentially live together. I don't know why you guys don't make it official and keep it on the DL until after season," She argued as the girls ignored the coach's words, even though they led the two lines that'd file out to the crowd. "You said this would be your last season anyways."

Erin's head snapped forward as she knew this routine- a mere one, two, three and off they were onto the field for their entrance. Erin always got an adrenaline rush running onto the field. She loved the crowd- it was one like no other. She wished Jay was out here to see her. She had so much pride being able to wear the uniform she did. It was an organization with much respect for it and she was proud to be part of it. She loved the yellow stars on her boots- yellow was the ribbon color for sarcoma cancer. Each season, the girls picked an organization that was important to her heart. She had lost her mother, Camille, to sarcoma cancer. It allowed her to feel like her mother was always with her.

Little did she know, as she did her dance with the rest of her teammates, Jay and the rest of the guys were watching from the locker room. "Damn, who's the point of the star?" Jay glanced over to see Roman as he watched as well.

"I think her name is Erin." Jay lied through his teeth. He could feel his body react as she had that smirk on her face, the way her hips swayed to the music blasting through the stadium. He thanked God he had his uniform on, the padding of it allowing him to hide his erection.

"Damn," Roman looked towards Jay, unknowing of his relationship to the leader. "I'd fuck her if I had the chance to." He confessed, running his hand down his face.

Jay's body stiffened at the thought of another man being able to have Erin. A few months ago, he would've blown it off, but now? Hell no. She was his. Only his. "Haha you have no idea." He muttered under his breathe.

"What?" Roman asked as their coach motioned them to get ready to charge the field.

"I said, maybe. She doesn't seem like my type. You know, I'm more into blondes," He played it off, playfully punching Roman in the shoulder. "Let's win this game." Jay caught up with Adam and Kevin, his main friends on the team and charted onto the field, his eyes stopping to catch his favorite cheerleader's eyes.

It seemed like time had paused. She looked flawless. Her hair was in the softest curls. He was slightly caught off guard with her full face of makeup, which she didn't wear outside of games. She still looked breathtaking. Her uniform outlined her petite body- the way her top pushed her breasts together made his mouth water, her toned abdomen standing out against the spray tan she must've gotten yesterday or today. The little shorts she wore were scandalous, they showed off her mile long, soft, silky legs. Her boots pulled the outfit together, defining her calf muscles- his favorite part about her.

Soon enough, their brief moment was over and Jay has to put on his game face. This was his job. He'd have plenty of time to see and appreciate his girl later. And they both knew that as she threw a sinister wink his way.

The game went by without a hitch, the team winning by two touch downs and a field goal- all which they were able to score in the second half. Erin and Meg walked into the locker room, remaining silent as her two head coaches spoke, Trudy and Beth. "Erin." Trudy snapped.

"Yes ma'am?" Erin replied, her attention averted from the terrible things she prayed Jay would be doing to her tonight to her boss.

"You're point of the star- you've earned yourself to do a joint interview with one of the players on ESPN. Who? Don't ask. Whoever the hell Paul picks. It'll probably be Atwater or Halstead." Erin nodded in response, moving her hair behind her ear.

Their superiors released them, reminding them tomorrow was a rest day. Erin and Meg walked over to their lockers, which were side by side. "So, same plans as usual tonight?" Meg raised her eyebrow, knowing her routine by now.

"Yeah," Erin blushed as she gathered her belongings. "We're going to talk tonight."

"Hey? Ladies. We should do a late lunch tomorrow? We have the whole day off, so we need to do something." Erin and Meg looked at each other before smiling at their teammate, Hailey.

"Yeah. Just text me a time and place." Erin nodded, Meg following her lead.

"Perfect! Can't wait!" She cheered, turning to walk out the door to the parking lot.

Meg rolled her eyes as she leaned up against Erin's locker, waiting for her friend to finish. They always walked out together. "So, are you actually going to talk to him, or are you going to try to, then he's going to seduce you and there goes that?" Erin told Meg about the few times she had the energy to bring it up to him, but then she and Jay ended up in a compromising position somewhere in his penthouse.

"Nope. We're actually going to talk. No sex until we figure this out." Erin determined.

"Good mindset. Let me know how it goes, though. But you're going home wearing your uniform. Whenever I do, that's always a huge turn on for Derek," She rolled her eyes at her fiancé's behavior. "So god knows Jay will want to destroy you wearing that."

"Not happening. We have to talk this out."

——

"Jay?" She called out a few hours later as she laid her car keys in the bowl in the hallway. She saw his, too, so he had to be here. Erin ventured more into his kitchen grabbing a water bottle out of the fridge. Her boots clicked through the hallway as there was still no sign of him.

She felt herself breathe as she heard the shower water running. She took her shoes off and slipped them into the closet, hanging her purse up on her respective side. Erin felt her phone vibrate as she picked it up and smiled softly at the caller id,

Hank Voight

"Hey dad," She smiled softly as she lingered into the living room, looking out the windows at the Dallas skyline. "What's up?"

"Not much," She could hear his gruff voice speak. "We just finished up a case- an important one. But, I was just calling to ask how you were. It's been a few weeks. Last I spoke to you was when you traveled to New England."

"Oh, yeah, it's okay. I've been busy, too," She grinned through the phone as her eyes turned to the traffic flowing downtown. "I've been good, though. I actually submitted my job application to Dallas' PD." She hadn't told Jay even, but she just applied today.

"That's great kiddo, I'm proud of you," He was beyond proud of his pseudo daughter. His wife would be too. "You could skip patrol, you know, and move back here. Intelligence would be lucky to have you."

"Dad, we've talked about this. I'm content in Dallas. Maybe in the future, though." She wouldn't mind going back to Chicago. But, she preferred Dallas' weather. She also had Jay here.

"Is there a man you're seeing, Erin?" Hank asked, walking into his office and shutting the door. "I checked in with Meg, you know she's like my second daughter, and she said you hadn't been home often when I asked about you."

Erin paused over the phone, silently cursing at Meg in her mind. "Dad, you know, I don't think this is something we should discuss over the phone," She laughed softly, praying the conversation would be over soon. "I don't know what we are."

"Are you happy?"

"Happiest I've ever been." She simply replied.

"Good. If that changes, you let me know," He sighed. "But, I'm going to get back to work. I'll talk to you in a few days. Love you, kiddo."

"I love you too." She quickly said her goodbyes before hanging up the phone and walking back into his bedroom. She noticed the shower water wasn't running anymore, so he must open the door sooner or later. She laid down on her side of the bed, her nerves starting to increase as she thought about the conversation that would be taking place sooner than later.

Her eyes averted to the sound of his feet walking into the room. "Hey baby," He walked over to her and leaned down, pressing a wet kiss against her cheek as water droplets sprinkled onto her skin. "You look fucking gorgeous in that. Something new you wanted to try tonight?" He raised his eyebrow at her.

"We need to talk before we do any of that." She giggled as she ran her fingers through his wet hair as he pressed one more kiss against her lips before walking to the closet to get a pair of clothes to change into.

"About?"

"You know."

He sighed, his hand coming up to rub his neck. He really didn't want to have this conversation. He wasn't good at this. "You can start it."

Erin rolled her eyes, motioning him to sit next to her in their bed. "Listen," She spoke softly, inching closer to him. "We've been fucking for over two months now. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to see us act more than how fuck buddies work."

He wrapped his arm around her, moving to bring his lips to her hair. "Erin, I'm scared to say this, but I have butterflies every time I see or think about you?" He continued, "Roman made a comment today about how he'd love to get with you... and my stomach just twisted at the thought of you with another man."

Erin's heart melted at his words. "You're the only person I want to be with," She traced lines on his bare stomach. "So, does that mean you.. want to, you know.. be official?"

"It is... but, our careers. I don't want us to get in trouble." He objected. It was the only thing holding him back.

"Well... I just told my dad this, but I applied for Dallas PD. If I get accepted, this will be my last year cheering. Then we can go public. But until then... can we just agree we're exclusive and committed?"

"Of course. We've been exclusive this entire time, Er." He murmured against her skin as he moved to straddle her hips, kissing down her abdomen. "Have I told you how sexy you look in this?" Erin groaned as he attached his lips to her hip bone, his fingers moving the fabric aside to test her slit. He grinned against her center as he hooked his fingers on the ends and pushed her bottoms down slowly. "Now I get to appreciate this little outfit of yours."

Jay moved down to the end of the bed and crawled back up, hooking her thighs over his shoulders. She gasped as he parted her folds, pressing a finger against her entrance, his tongue testing her slickness.

Erin released a moan, her fingers gripping his hair as the soles of her feet rubbed his shoulder blades. He smiled against his girl, sinking two of his digits into her tight cavern, moving them in a come hither motion. His mouth closed around her sensitive clit, flicking it with his tongue. Jay furthered his ministrations, setting a steady pace for his middle and index finger to go as he fingered her. His eyes glanced up at Erin, who was gripping the headboard and biting down on her lip to keep herself quiet.

"Erin, I like you loud." He teased as he increased the pace of his fingers to one that had her moaning and thrusting her hips. His tongue flicked against her clit, wanting to get her closer to push over the edge.

"Jay," She whined as she moved one of her hands down to his hair, pulling him up to look at her. The look in his eyes made her body preen with want. "Can I, please?"

"Hmm," He brushes his lips against her inner thigh. "I don't think so, not yet." Jay chuckles as she whimpers at his rejection. He loved how she would ask for permission, it was such a turn on as Jay felt his erection strain against his sweats. He sucks the soft skin of her thigh into his mouth, biting down into it, then soothing it again with his tongue. He could hear the faint pant of his girlfriend above him and he grinned against her skin. He toyed the attention of his mouth back to her clit, matching the rhythm as he fucks her with his tongue and fingers.

Erin could feel herself getting closer, right on the brink of ecstasy. She was so wet, she couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to come so badly as she looked down and saw him between her legs. "God, please!" She begged as she bucked her thighs against his face. It encouraged him to move faster, fucking her at an insanely fast pace. She tugged on his short ends, needing to hear his permission. "Jay!" She pleaded.

He smiled against her skin, noticing how her legs trembled when he removed his mouth from her clit. Jay looked up at her, his fingers still thrusting in and out of her wet entrance. Her eyes were clouded with desperation, her body covered in a thin sheet of sweat. He loved how he was the only one that could bring her to this point, the only one who could pleasure her like this. "Come for me, sweetheart."

Jay moved his head back down to sucking on her clit, scraping it with his tongue as he felt her pulsate around his fingers. Erin's body began to jerk as her vision went black as she slammed her eyes shut. She bit on her lip to keep quiet, but failing miserably as she cried out his name.

He continued to lap up her juices, pressing a soft kiss against her clit as her tremors subsided and she began to pant excessively. He climbed back up her body as he slowed his fingers inside of her. He slid his tongue into her mouth briefly, before moving it to lick the shell of her ear. "Open your mouth," He commanded and she obied. He tapped her lips with his fingers, watching as she sucked them clean. Jay began peppering kisses around her neck as he rasped out sinister words to her. "I can't control myself around you, Er," He pressed a kiss against the swell of her breast that was covered by her top. "You tasted so good."

She preened at his compliments as he began untying her uniform too. "These are perfect." He ran his tongue between them before he let go of the knot, her heavy breasts falling out as he tossed her top to the ground. His tongue closed around her nipple as he sucked and bit it, his other hand paying attention to the other breast. He smiled against her breast as he felt her tremble at his ministrations. His mouth switched to her other one, sucking and tugging on the tight nipple as she clenched the sheets. Her hands went down to his sweats, wanting to rid him of them. "Uh, no," He growled as he took her wrists, pinning them above her head. His other hand shoved down his pants, ridding them from his body, leaving them both bare against each other. His free hand snaked between her legs, dousing his dick in her wetness before swirling his tip around her clit. Erin cried out in response at his actions. She bucked her hips up, and he cocked his head to look at her knowingly. "Are you gonna be good?" She nodded lightly, and stilled her moves.

He sunk into her depths slowly, burying his member inside of her. "Fuck, Jay." She groaned as he slid all the way out and snapped back into her, setting a pace that had them both moaning with every thrust. He hit a particularly good spot within her, Erin loudly calling out his name. "Shh," He kissed her lips as she was under his control. Erin didn't mind though, he always fucked her in the best way, making her beg for more. He continued to pound into her at a relentless pace, moving his mouth to toy with a stiff nipple. Jay felt Erin hook her ankles around his back, which usually meant she was close. "Are you close?" She had her eyes slammed shut, biting her lip. "Erin," He gripped her chin, looking her in the eyes. "Look at me." She pried open her eyes as she focused on his blue orbs as he guided her to reach her second climax of the evening.

"Touch me," She cried. He smirked at her pleas, bringing his free hand to her nub, taking it between his fingers. "Fuck, Jay." She raised her hips to be closer to his hands as he continued to ram into her.

"Erin, I'm going to come inside of you," He grunted, feeling himself get close. He needed her to come first. "Sweetheart, come for me," He encouraged. "You're so tight," He continued on, moving at a erotic pace so she'd let go. "You're such a dirty girl, so wanting, come on."

"You're so big." She moaned, trying to find that rippling release she so desperately craved.

"Erin." He matted their lips together as he bursted inside of her, coating her walls with his semen. His release triggered Erin's and Jay covered her lips to swallow her desperate groans as she began her spiral, Jay continuing to slowly thrust inside of her. Once her tremors subsided and the only sound was no longer slapping skin, but panting from the both of them. He slipped out of her, Erin whimpering at the loss of contact.

"That will never get old." She whispered as he moved to lay down next to her. Jay kissed her wrists and rubbed them, the skin red from his grip.

"Yeah, never," He smirked, pressing a kiss against her forehead. "I'm happy you're here with me."

"No where I'd rather be." She smiled up at him, running her hand across his jawline. She peppered his lips with a quick kiss, but he quickly wrapped his arms around her frame, his hands grasping her ass as he pushed himself against her.

His member came back to life, and he groaned as he felt her warm flush against his body. "Jay," Erin warned, not wanting to go for a round two because it was late- but she knew that wouldn't work out probably. "We can't. I have to be up early tomorrow."

"C'mon, Er," He flicked his finger against her clit and she tightened her grip on him. "Please."

"Jay, we cant it's late." Erin pleaded as she fought against his ministrations.

"Fine," He surrendered. "What do you have to do tomorrow to get up early?"

"I'm going to brunch with the girls. I have to get up early to look nice." She commented, her eyes fluttering shut as she was drifting asleep.

"You look beautiful already," He noticed his girlfriend falling asleep. He lightly kissed her cheek. "Goodnight, love."

———-

Erin woke up with a different atmosphere surrounding her. As usual, Jay's arm was wrapped around her waist, his head resting on the same pillow as hers. She could feel his breathe on her neck. But this time, they weren't fuck buddies. They were official... on the down low. She didn't have to dance around those emotions anymore. She could be honest. She smiled, turning over in their embrace and brushed his hair out of his face. He stirred slightly, awakening to Erin staring at him.

"Good morning, sweetheart." His voice was still coated with sleepiness and she grinned, loving the tone.

"Hi." She soothed, running her hand over his bare chest.

"Sleep well?" He asked, sitting up and taking her with him. Jay glanced over at the alarm clock on his nightstand, seeing it was a little past eight.

"The best," She chuckled, moving out of bed. "You make me so happy." She grabbed her towel from the closet and a set of clothes and began her strut into the bathroom.

Jay sat up in bed, his own thoughts getting the best of him. He looked over to the nightstand that was once vacant, but now occupied with her phone and charger, a water bottle, and a picture frame she had put their. His closet that was once only halfway full, but now full to the brim with her clothes. The other half of his bathroom storage filled with her hair and makeup products.

She practically lived with him. His heart swelled. He wanted to make breakfast, but, that was the whole reason they got up early- she had brunch with her teammates.

Jay stood up and opened the bathroom door, the steam from the shower fanning into the rest of his penthouse.

Erin barely registered the sound of clothes hitting the floor before the door to the walk in shower opened and he came into view, quickly closing it behind him. "I figured I'd join you." He grinned, turning them around so he could fall into the path of the shower head.

"How sweet," She replied, spreading the shampoo over her head. "But, no time for messing around. I have to be on time."

"Me, trying to mess around? I'm a complete gentlemen, Er," He pressed his erection against her stomach. "So I have no idea what you're talking about."

Erin groaned feeling his hard against her skin. She couldn't help but wrap her fingers around his shaft. Jay's lips fell to one of her nipples, needing to suckle on something. Erin's head fell back against the tile of his shower, her free hand gripping to the railing so she wouldn't fall.

She continued to stroke him base to tip, her thumb focusing on the sensitive vein on his underside. She moved his moisture around, her lips coming to settle sucking on his ear lobe as his lips continued to torture her nipples. "Er." He muttered, moving his fingers to her clit to rub the sensitive nub.

"Yes?" She asked, her voice above a whisper.

"I need to be inside of you, sweetheart," He moved her folds apart, preparing to thrust inside of her with her permission. "Please."

"Take me then," She replied seductively, moving to line his cock up with her entrance. He bent down and picked her up, pushing her up against the cool tile of his shower that elicited a moan from her mouth, and thrusted into her had. "Christ, Jay," She cried out as he thrusted into her at a pace that satisfied the both of them. "Faster, I need to-" Her words were cut off as he captured her nipple in his mouth, sucking and tugging on the hard bud.

"Quiet." He laughed as his hand covered her mouth from the loud sounds that were falling from her lips. One of his hands reached down to her clit, circling it at a fast pace so they could be done and she wouldn't be late.

Erin followed his lead, her fingers rubbing his balls the way he like it, and soon he could feel his cock beginning to throb inside her tight cavern. "Erin, come with me." He looked her in the eyes, accelerating his thrusts so she would come with him. "Come on, babe." He encouraged her.

She bit down on his neck, and that triggered him to burst inside her. "Yeah, fuck," He groaned as he came, costing her walls with himself. He continued to thrust inside of her tightness, his fingers moving faster on her clit. "Baby, do you like this?" He asked, regaining his stamina.

Erin so badly craved for her high to hit, but she didn't want this to end it felt so good. Him inside of her, thrusting his thick cock inside of her, hard, was the best feeling in the world. "Jay," She whispered feeling her climax reach her. "Jay." She whimpered again as she bit down onto his shoulder. She knew if Jay wasn't there holding her she would have surely fell to the ground. She exploded in his embrace, her body trembling as Jay slowed his thrusts and tightened his embrace on her.

"Good girl," He coaxed as she rode out her orgasm. Jay set her to the ground as he pressed a kiss against her lips. "I love having you like this."

Erin giggled as she finished washing her body, Jay following her lead. Erin got out of the shower first as Jay finished. She looked down at the time, seeing she was still in good shape. It should remain that way as long as Jay didn't attempt to distract her again. She wrapped her towel around her body tightly as she brushed through her locks of hair, turning on her hairdryer as she dried her hair.

"What time will you be back?" Jay asked as he came into view next to her, brushing his teeth in his side of the vanity.

"I don't know. Probably two or three. The girls might want to do shopping, but I don't know." Erin raised her voice, trying to be louder than her hair dryer.

"Okay. I'm going to the grocery store at some point today, before you go will you write down what you want or text me a list?" He combed through his hair, walking out of the room changing into a pair of shorts and a muscle tee.

"Yeah, of course," Erin put away her blow dryer and moved to heat up her curling wand. "I wish we could go shop together."

"Makes two of us," Jay sighed, pressing his lips against her hair. "You smell good," He walked over to the shower and read her shampoo bottle. "Honey lavender? Interesting. Maybe I should buy me some, too."

"Funny," She rolled her eyes at his silliness. "That stuff is a lifesaver. Make my hair soft and smell good. It's also healthy for your hair. Kills three birds, one stone."

"Nice. So, on our grocery list I have whole milk, bananas, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, bread, bagels, oranges, orange juice, and pizzas. Am I missing anything?" He asked as he looked up from his notes on his phone.

"Kale- I want to make more kale chips. They're much better than the kettle cooked ones we tried. Don't forget strawberries either, for that smoothie I'm going to try to make." Erin reminded him.

Jay nodded, adding the few products to his list. "I thought about tonight grilling chicken and having fajita veggies mixed in with it... and shrimp?"

"I love it." She replied, moving to curl yet another section of her hair.

"Great. I'll leave a few minutes after you leave then. I'm going to stop by the gym and work up a sweat, then I'll go by the store real quick and hopefully be back here before you are." Jay pocketed his phone, watching her get ready.

"I hope you can save enough energy to whip up a workout with me tonight." Erin raised her eyebrow as he leaned against the doorframe to his bathroom.

"I'll always be up for a workout with you," He grinned. "I love how insatiable you are." Jay restrained himself from suckling on her neck as much as he want to feel her skin.

Erin tightened her legs, feeling that heat return to her core. She was never this easily turned on until she met him. "What can I say? You're a fucking God in bed."

"Mhm," He smirked as she began to work on her makeup. "You inspire me, what can I say?"

"We need to spice it up again." Erin glanced at him as she applied her bronzer.

"Oh, I'm always down for that," Jay husked as he felt himself reacting. "What did you have in mind?"

"That'll ruin the fun, baby." She raised an eyebrow as she laughed softly, moving to apply a light shade of gold eyeshadow to her eyelids.

"I love surprises, that's for sure," He shot back, watching her effortlessly apply her mascara. "But, you cant tie me up. You know I have to touch you."

"Jay, I need that too, don't worry," She patted her boyfriend's chest. "Will you go into the closet and bring me that red dress hanging up?" Jay nodded, following Erin's request. He walked back in and took the dress off the hanger. Erin took it from him and dropped her towel to the floor, slipping into the dress effortlessly. "Will you zip me?" He nodded again, happily moving to run the zipper up her bare back.

"Are you not wearing anything underneath it?" Jay asked, his eyes widening.

"Nope," Erin applied a light lipstick, moving to spray perfume and walk out of the bathroom, past Jay, to apply her black wedges. "It has a built in bra and I don't need to wear underwear," She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "It'll make it easier later when you fuck me."

————

"So, Erin, anything new with you lately?" Erin looked down the table to Kim who was drinking a mimosa in between bites of her French toast.

"Not really. I applied to the police academy, but that's it. I'll find out next week if I got in or not." She smiled at the thought of being accepted. All her hard work in college would pay off. And, she could be with Jay, and not have to hide it.

A slew of congratulations were thrown around the table at Erin's news. "You'll have to let us know when you find out. Good or bad, we still are proud of you." Kim raised her glass, the other six girls following.

"Thanks, guys." She grinned as she looked gown at her phone that vibrates in her lap.

Did you want me to get white or wheat bread? I forgot which you preferred.

She quickly shot back a text message when Meg bumped her side as the girls were gushing over their annual Swimsuit Calendar Trip. This year it was going to be in Nayarit, Mexico. "So, how did you and boy wonder's talk go?"

"It went good... yeah. We're just going to keep things on the down low until I have my career set with Dallas PD. Then we can go public." Erin felt her spine shiver, and her heart swell with happiness at the thought.

"Are you going to move in? I mean, you have a key to his place, most of your stuff is over there, as you're never home for a night unless he's gone." Meg looked at her friend knowingly. They were taking things fast, but it was okay. Some people move at different paces.

"I basically do. But, I'm not going to bring it up unless he does. Yes, we may be dating, but we still fuck like bunnies. I crave his touch so much, Meg. It's bad, but the sex is mind blowing." Erin just speaking about it was turned on by the thought. Fuck.

"Do what makes you happy. If that's mostly living there and getting fucked daily, so be it." Meg shrugged her shoulders, not knowing what else to say.

Erin smiled greatly at the waiter as he handed her her check. "He makes me happy. Just being there with him. And- we don't fuck daily- okay, maybe that's not accurate, but we do just sit around and talk, a lot. It's became more than what it initially was suppose to."

"Oh I know, you fell for him hard, Er," She sighed her check, giving it back to the waiter. "Just be careful. I don't need you to get in trouble. Or Jay."

"We're careful. We leave separate, take separate cars, yes." Erin reinforced. They were being overly cautious.

"Are you going shopping with us? Or do you need to get back home to boy wonder?""

"I'll go out with you guys- I don't mind. I'm with him a lot, so a few hours won't kill me."

——-

Erin moved her shopping bags onto one hand so the other could unlock the door to his place. She was relieved when the door unlocked with no struggle, and she was able to close the door behind her, dropping her keys into the bowl.

Her heels clicked against the wooden floors as she walked down the entry hall and into the kitchen. She had bought a few too many things- mostly clothes, and a few sets of lingerie. Lingerie she didn't need, she had plenty, but she knew Jay would die seeing her in them. And when she tried them on, that sealed the deal. "Jay, babe, I bought some new outfits, you need to see. I think you'll li-" Erin stopped in her tracks as she looked up, expecting to see Jay standing on the other side of the chef's island, but instead being met to face Adam Ruzek.

His teammate.

Fuck.

"Oh, hi, Adam." She awkwardly smiled, her mind hitting a wall.

"Hey, Erin. So, you're the mystery girl." He grinned. "Jay talks a lot about you, too me. He's happy," Adam registered the nervous look on Erin's face. "If you're worried about me telling anyone, I won't. I hooked up with Kim last week, if you must know."

Erin laughed nervously, wondering where the hell Jay was. "Oh, yeah... we uh, I was just stopping by for dinner," She tried to lie. "Where is Jay?"

"He's in the restroom. I stopped by to have a beer and go over some things for next week's away game. We're playing on Thanksgiving, that's insane."

"Oh, yes. It'll be fun, though." Erin mentioned.

"Hey Adam, do you kno-" Jay also appeared to be dumbfounded as he saw Erin and Adam on opposite sides of the chef's island. "Oh, you've uh, met."

"Jay, you didn't tell me your girl was a cheerleader. Scandalous. Maybe me, you, Erin, and Kim can all go out, secretly." Adam shrugged his shoulders.

Jay nodded his head, walking over to Erin and kissing her cheek. "Hey sweetheart."

"Hey." Erin and Jay shared their nervous looks for a moment, both having the fear in their eyes. "That sounds great Adam, but I don't want Kim to know we're a thing. You and Meg are the only two that know."

"I can respect that," Adam walked over to slip on his sandals. "Well, Jay, it was good to talk about next week. Thanks for the beer," Jay nodded, smiling. "Erin, it was great to meet you. Hopefully I'll be seeing more of you around." With that the door closed, leaving Jay and Erin alone.

"So, uhm," Erin wrapped her arms around his neck, desperately craving his comfort. "Wha do we do now?"

"Baby, he's not going to tell anyone. He's been fucking Kim all season. Adam is a chill guy. There is nothing to worry about." He reassured her, moving a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"But, Jay." Erin sighed, her adrenaline levels being too high.

"No more buts," Jay rasped into her ear, his hand trailing the soft skin of her knee, up until her reached her tender nub that was his only. He ran his fingers over her slit, his middle and index finger sinking into her. She threw her head back at the sudden invasion, and Jay took the opportunity to latch his lips onto her neck. "Now, lets go to the bedroom and I can take your mind off things, yeah?"

Erin nodded in response as he picked her up, Erin wrapping her legs around his waist as he hoisted her up and took her to their bedroom.
