Her Temptation

Chapter 33

Lexie

It was approaching 9 when Maverick grabbed his bag and hugged Andrew and I before. "I'm going to miss you, honey."

"Me too."

He smiled. "I'll call you in the morning, I promise. Take care of our son."

"I will. How long will you be gone?"

"I'll be home Monday afternoon, so only three days."

"Three days too long." In actuality, three days too short.

"I know baby, but I'll call you after the game as well and every night."

"You better."

He smiled and kissed my forehead. "I love you, Lexie."

"Always."

He raised his eyebrows. "Are you alright?"

"I'm great, call me when you get there."

"Umm okay."

After he got in his truck and pulled out of the parking lot, I heard a knock on the door shortly after. I opened the door, only to be greeted by Danny. "Hi."

"God, I am so happy I got to see you tonight."

"Me too."

"I have been craving you all damn day."

"I'd rather do less talking right now."

He smirked. "Are you putting Andrew to sleep?"

"Yes, go to my bedroom and I'll meet you in there."

Nodding, he went upstairs to the bedroom, and I put Andrew to sleep. After he was asleep, I went to the bedroom and stripped for him. "God, you're so hot."

I kissed him and took his shirt and jeans off. "You're hot too," I whispered in his ear. "I have always thought that you were."

After several hours of rough sex, we both fell asleep naked next to each other. If only Maverick could be gone longer.

*** The next day: My phone had vibrated at least 5 times within a 2-minute time lapse. I didn't have to even have to look at who it was because I knew it was Maverick.

While Danny made breakfast for us, Maverick had called. "Hi, babe."

"Hi."

"How did you sleep?"

"Good." Very good, actually.

"I can't wait to come home."

"Yeah."

"Two more days, baby."

"I hope you win tonight."

"Me too. I miss you so much, I wish you were here."

"What time do you come home?"

"5:30, why?"

"At night or in the morning?"

"Night. Why?"

"Was just curious."

"Alright, I guess. Talk later, Lex. I love you."

I hung up and went downstairs, feeding Andrew. "Did you enjoy last night?"

"I always do."

He smiled and kissed me. "Me too. But I have to head out."

"Already?"

"I have to go to work, but I'll come over later."

I was scrolling through my TikTok when I noticed a post of JJ's from last night of them at a club with some girls. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. Just noticed Mav was at a club last night."

"Is that bad?"

"Not at all. Because I have you."

"Damn right. But I have to go, love. See you later."

I had no reason to be upset, but there was nothing wrong with pretending.
