The Football Kink

Lucy Chen put the tip of her thumb into her mouth to keep from worrying at her lip and giving her thoughts away to the two keenly observant detectives she was sitting with against the bar.

"Why do you keep checking your phone?" Angela Lopez asked after the fiftieth time Lucy's eyes drifted to her device where it was placed on the counter next to her drink.

"I'm just checking the score of the Rams game," Lucy responded.

"Since when do you care about football?" Nyla Harper wondered; that sounded suspicious.

"Just being a supportive girlfriend, because Tim loves the Rams," Lucy shrugged, hoping her lie was convincing enough.

"Right," Angela said with disbelief. "It's totally a sex thing," she stated.

"You think everything is a sex thing," Nyla scoffed.

"True, but I'm right about this one," Angela replied as she narrowed her eyes and studied Lucy's demeanor for any sign that confirmed her theory.

Nyla quirked her eyebrow as she examined Lucy then broke out into a smile, "Oh, shit, you're right! It IS a sex thing!"

Lucy scrunched her face nervously and covered her mouth.

"You have to tell us whatever it is. I mean, it's only fair, since we figured it out," Nyla said.

"I'm genuinely curious how kinky Tim Bradford is. I didn't think he had it in him," Angela chimed in, far too amused.

"He would kill me if I told you guys," Lucy responded.

"We won't tell. You can trust us...well, you can trust me, but Angela is going to tease Tim about his football kink the next time she sees him," Nyla stated honestly.

"Football kink," Angela snickered. "He loves football, and I thought it was the actual game. I had no idea he liked it because of sex games."

"The sex thing is new. I came up with it," Lucy replied without thinking.

"Do tell," Nyla requested, intrigued.

"It's nothing kinky, really. It's just this arrangement we have. He loves the Rams, and I want to be supportive, so I watch the games with him, but I don't really like football. I'm more of a baseball girl. Anyways, I made him a deal to make football more exciting: if the Rams win, he picks what we do after, and if the Rams lose, I pick," Lucy explained.

Angela grinned slyly. "That's one way to get you to like football. Wow, you're perfect for Tim. Seriously, he's lucky to have you."

Lucy took a sip of her tequila soda to calm her racing heart, because the Rams were winning, which meant she had no idea what fun she was about to have per Tim's desires, but she was already looking forward to it. "I feel pretty lucky," she finally replied.

Nyla noticed Lucy's reddened cheeks and unshakeable smile playing at her lips. "Are the Rams winning or losing right now?"

"Winning," Lucy answered and brought her drink straw to her mouth to conceal her grin.

"How many more minutes until the game is over?" Angela wondered.

She refreshed her phone then reported, "Fourth quarter is almost done. I gotta get home."

"Yes, girl! Get some action!" Nyla cheered.

Lucy threw down enough money to pay for her drink and a tip before quickly bidding good night to her friends and hastening to her car.

"Remember having a new love and hot sex?" Nyla asked wistfully.

"Speak for yourself. Wes has read the 'Kama Sutra' cover to cover," Angela scoffed. "And now that I think about it, I'm not gonna let Lucy be the only one who gets some ass tonight. See ya."
