Rounding The Bases: An Erotic Baseball Romance

Rounding The Bases: Episode 21

The evening meal with the Knights players, coaches, and families went by like a blur for Jack. The sudden appearance of Claire Cagle, a friend from high school and college, generated myriad thoughts and emotions he had thought were part of the distant past. Just how much of their story he wanted to tell to Bethany, and which details, made him feel uneasy. He knew that since the beginning of his relationship with Bethany, there had been no secrets between them. Bethany would expect the truth, unconditionally. And she would know if he was holding anything back.

Bethany tried to put on an appearance of indifference, interacting with the other families and lavishing attention on both Xander and Brian for their victorious play that afternoon. Inside, though, she was a ball of nerves. There had been no time since the end of the game for Jack to explain his past with Claire. Her imagination ran wild with possibilities, especially since Claire was so forthcoming about Jack's masturbatory misadventure with a pair of her panties back in their high school days, and the subsequent nickname, Jack Jack. If she was comfortable sharing that bit of information with a relative stranger, what other things might have transpired between Jack and Claire back in the day?

While the rest of the crowd made a beeline for the hotel pool, Jack took Bethany's hand, urging her to join him in his hotel room where they would have some privacy. There was a lot to tell before Bethany and he were to meet Claire in the hotel lounge later that evening.

"Am I going to want to keep wearing this," Bethany asked, running her fingers between her legs over her capris. She had been wearing the We-Jive vibrator snugly inside her pussy for the better part of the day. Unfortunately, due to the proximity of other people, they hadn't been able to play with that particular toy. Jack's phone had the app that controlled the vibrator remotely, but he had few opportunities to tease Bethany with more than a few fleeting moments of pleasure.

"Up to you," he said, embracing her, before they settled together on the tiny sofa adjacent to one of the queen-sized beds in the room.

Bethany opted to keep the toy in place for the moment. It wasn't an uncomfortable feeling, after all. In fact, she could feel the toy with every step she took during the day, and it was pleasurable. "I'll leave it in for now. No telling how aroused I might get listening to your exploits with Claire."

Jack winced at the implication. "What I'm going to tell you is all true, and, yes, some of it was sexual, but probably not in the way you're imagining right now."

Bethany took a deep breath hearing this news. So Jack had been sexually involved with Claire? Or not? "That's quite a confusing statement, Jack."

"I know," Jack agreed. "I'm sorry. This is such a surprise. We haven't really talked too much about our past relationships. It's not like I was trying to hide anything from you. And, actually, there was no relationship with Claire. Not romantically, anyway."

"So just sex, then?" Bethany felt acute pangs of jealousy again.

"No, not sex. Not romance," Jack sounded exasperated. "Like I said before, it's complicated."

"Try me," Bethany demanded, her face neutral, despite the butterflies elsewhere.

"Okay, here goes," Jack took a deep breath. "So, I met Claire when her brother, Cam, and I were playing baseball in high school. Cam and I became really good friends and I spent a lot of time at the Cagles' house. They were like a second family to me."

Bethany nodded, urging Jack to continue.

"Actually, my friendship with Cam started because of Claire," Jack continued. "She was at our games a lot, and I thought she was cute. She was always cheering for Cam, so I assumed she was his girlfriend. One day, I asked him about her and he just laughed, explaining that Claire was his sister."
