That book

Taylors POV

It's quite literally peak summer, July 30th and Travis was still recording for his podcast. I choose to go down to the pool and sit in the sun. I go into our closet and find a gorgeous mauve bikini. I put it on only to find out that the bottoms are way too small. They don't even really cover my ass. I mean I don't have a problem with it but my boyfriend might..

I grab my book, sunglasses and a towel. I wrap the towel around my waist and throw my hair into a ponytail. I walk down the hallway to Travis's recording room. The door is wide open which is surprising considering we have 5 children aka the animals, who just love to bother him when he's doing work stuff. I stand in the door way and Travis looks up at me. I mouth that I'm going out to the pool and he nods continuing listening to Jason talking.

I walk out the back doors and go out to a chair. I set my stuff down and open the umbrella that was resting shut near the chair.

I lay down and cross my legs. I put some sunscreen on my face and slide my sunglasses down from my hair to cover my eyes. I open my book and begin reading.

This isn't a usual one of my books, I typically read murder mystery's, but this is a dark romance book. Travis isn't aware about it but I know he will find out soon.

Travis's POV

Tay just told me she was going out to the pool and I nod my head so she knows that I know where she's going to be.

I finish recording which only took about thirty more minutes or so. I walk into our bedroom and look out the window and see Taylor exactly where she said she was gonna be. I walk into our closet and shed off all my clothes and put on a pair of pale blue swim shorts.

I grab my AirPods and go outside to join her. Once she sees me walking towards her she spreads her legs and bends them a little. I lay down in between her legs and wrap my arm around her thigh as my head rests on the right side of her pelvic bone.

I put in one of my AirPods in and scroll on my phone till I find a good podcast to listen to. Taylor holds her book with one hand and uses the other to softly scratch my back with her longer nails.

I let my eyes shut but not sleep. We stay like this for about an hour or so before I feel Taylor's thighs squeeze together a bit. I look up at her without moving too much and I see she's blushing and chewing the inside of her cheeks. She's subconsciously making facial expressions and I study her face before my eyes drift down to the cover of her book. It has a black and red rose on it and I can imagine what she's reading at the moment. Dirty girl.

After a few more minutes she puts her sunglasses on top of her hair and continues reading. I see her out of the corner of my eye, her mouth opens the smallest amount and she slowly licks her lips and lets her bottom lip get caught on her teeth so she's biting into it.

I get up so I'm sitting facing her and I drape my legs over hers. She puts her book face down on her stomach and looks at me. I grab her book and stand up.

"Wait Trav!" She starts to get up to chase me. I run around the pool as I'm reading the borderline porn scene that had just gotten her so worked up. We're standing on opposite sides on the pool and she gives up and just stands there with her face covered with her hands.

My eyes are wide and eyebrows are raised. "Wow Tay, reading this while I'm parked between your legs.." I continue reading and glance up at her and she's peeking at me through her fingers.

"You weren't supposed to be reading that!" She laughs as she walks over to me. "Didn't know my girl was such a freak." I close the book and walk towards her holding it out. She grabs it and walks over to the chair that we previously occupied.

"So how was the rest of you day" I ask while stealing her spot on the chair and pull her on top of me. She's now laying with her back pressed against my chest on top of me and I have my arms wrapped around her waist. I move her up a bit so her shoulder blades are pressed against the tippy top of my shoulders and I leave light kisses down her neck as she tells me about her day.

She brings her hand up to rest on my face and says. "Are you ready for training camp soon?" My mood dies a little. She knows it, she can feel me. "I dunno Tay. I'm not sure if I can do it." I say resting my head in her shoulder.

"You can retire. It's okay, I'll understand, coach will understand and your teammates will understand. Baby you shouldn't be pushing yourself past your physical limits. I don't want you to break." She says with a giggle at the end. I tighten my hold on her.

"I just don't want to let anyone down. I'm younger than Jason but I'd be playing a year less than he has."

"Honey, the NFL is a mess. Players come and go whenever they are ready. Jason pushed himself for the last few seasons he played and it ruined his mental and physical well being." She says.

I agree with her and we stay outside talking until it starts to get a little chilly.

Taylors POV

I cannot believe he just did that. I'm not mad about it, why would I? But I am in shock that he now knows I read dirty books.

We go inside and take off our swimsuits and put on some sweats. We go back outside and cuddle up in the hanging chair. We watch the sunset while we eat dinner, talk about anything, and drink wine.

Once we realize that it's gotten extremely dark, to the point where we can barely see each other. "Think you can light a fire, big man?" I say standing up and reaching my hand out to help him up. "Oh yeah. I was inBoy Scouts you know." He says with a smirk.
"Really? I thought you would've been busy with sports." I say. "I was a busy kid." He says while throwing fire wood into the pit.

Travis rushes me back to the chair and after a few tries he successfully lights the fire. He comes back over and jumps on top of me. I have no choice but to defend myself, I mean I can't really fight back a man who's twice my weight. We play fight for a few minutes until we're both laughing so hard we can't move.

He's laying on top of me with his read rested on my tummy, turned to the side watching the ocean. I have one hand on his upper back and the other on the back of his head. I can smell the salt in the air and I can see the rust on the door hinges. This house definitely needs some help but it's home.

We stay like this for about thirty minutes before I feel my eyes begin to heavy. I can see the fire begin to dim as it dies out and eventually everything goes black

I closed my eyes for what feels like 2 seconds but when I open them again Travis is hovering over me holding himself up with his arms. He kisses my cheek and says "good morning babygirl." I rub my eyes with the bottom of my hands and smile at him. "Did we really fall asleep out here." I say with a tired laugh.

"Oh you bet we did!" He says before kissing my lips. I wrap my arms around his neck and he pulls his lips away from mine and picks me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and cross my ankles. I lower my head to rest on his shoulder as he carry's me over to the kitchen.

We make some breakfast sandwiches and bring them outside to eat. "Baby we're gonna burn being out here so much." I say while taking a bite and looking at him. "Some call it burnt but I call it sun kissed!" He says with a smile. I laugh at him as we finish our food.

He brings the plates back to the kitchen to put them in the dish washer. As he's gone I can't help but realize this is the happiest I've ever been, I know people say that all the time but I genuinely could not feel any more blessed than to have him here, have him right now and hopefully forever and always.
