“Missed you too.”
ChapterThirteen
OLIVER
I laughedwhen I saw Luna walking to my door, her arms weighed down with bags of clothes.
“You didn’t have to go through so much trouble, Luna.” I smiled taking the bags from her and kissing her lips lightly.
“I had fun, and most of it will be going back after I figure out what is best to wear for Monday.”
“Sprite, you’re overthinking this. It’s no big deal.” I set the bags down on the couch and turned to capture her in my arms. She was wearing jeans and a tee, her hair was down around her shoulders, and her signature plain white tennis shoes were on her feet.
“It is a big deal, Daddy.” She stuck her bottom lip out. “I want to make a good impression on your teammates and coaches.”
“I know.” I kissed her again and looked back at the mountain of bags on my couch. “So, what all did you buy?”
“I’ll show you after dinner, but I’m famished right now. What are we having tonight?”
“I thought I’d take you out to my favorite place.” I slipped my hands into her back pockets, cupping her ass and pulling her close. My dick was already hard and dying to get into her pants.
“Do I need to change?” Her brows furrowed, her hands resting on my chest. She felt so damn good in my arms—so damn right.
“Nah. You’re perfect the way you are sprite.” I leaned down to kiss her, sliding my tongue into her mouth and coaxing her into a deeper kiss. She responded so quickly, and had her stomach not rumbled so loud, I would have fucked her before I fed her.
“Sorry,” She said shyly pulling away from the kiss. “I haven’t eaten since lunch with Gabby, and we shopped a lot today.”
“Come on, Baby. Let’s get you fed.”
I took her hand and led her out the garage door. We hopped in my Land Rover and I took her to the best street taco vender in town. El Caliente Taco was the busiest taco hut in town. It was small and orders were always to-go, but the food was the best. Anytime I came to town to play, I always stopped in because they were that damn good.
“I love this place.” Luna beamed when I pulled up to building.
“You do?”
“Yes, oh my God. They are the best. I used to come here everyday after school with my friends before I would go to whichever house I was cleaning that night.”
We got in line, my arm went around her back as we waited our turn to place our orders. I leaned down and whispered in her ear, “You and this restaurant have a lot in common.”
I laughed, “What?”
“You also have a very hot taco.” I said quietly.
Luna couldn’t stop laughing though. It brought people’s attention to us, and the next thing I knew someone recognized me. “It’s Oliver Blake.” I kid said loudly and I inwardly winced. As we placed and waited for our order, I ended up smiling and taking selfies with a lot of people one after the other.
Sorry. I mouthed to Luna, who stood by watching with a sweet smile on her face. She shook her head gently, and I fell for her a little harder for her. I didn’t really care for the fame all that much. Honestly, I was just a guy who loved baseball and happened to be good at it. It didn’t matter where we were, Luna looked at me the same way. As a man she wanted, not the trappings that came with me.
“Sorry, everyone, I gotta get going. Y’all have a good night.”
I went to Luna’s side and took her hand, grabbing the bag of food from her and heading back to my SUV. Those pictures would be all over social media by morning, which meant I’d be getting a call from my mother.

“That looks great on you.” I said watching as Luna turned this way and that to give me the full experience of the dress she was trying on.
My cock was hard enough to pound nails, but this was important to her and she was nervous about going with me.
“It’s not too casual?” She asked worried, and I honestly didn’t know what to tell her. I never really paid any attention to what the women or anyone else wore to these things. I just knew I had to wear a suit because of the leagues public image policy.
