Rounding The Bases: An Erotic Baseball Romance

Rounding The Bases: Episode 22

Bethany saw Claire Cagle in a different light after Jack explained, in explicit detail, just how he had earned the nickname "Jack Jack." The sudden appearance of Jack's high school crush at the Knights/Wildcats travel baseball game had been quite a surprise. The fact that Claire was also the sister of Jack's best friend in high school, Cam, added another layer to what she was learning was a rather intriguing relationship.

For his part, Jack was still reeling. Claire had been a big part of his life in high school and college. While they never dated, their relationship had been a close one, with Jack frequently spending time at Cam and Claire's house. After shooting down an initial date request from Jack, Claire had come to see Jack as her little brother's buddy. That awkwardness dissipated over time, even following the whole incident when Claire had discovered him masturbating with a pair of her panties.

Claire made no secret of the origin of the "Jack Jack" nickname, almost immediately following her introduction to Bethany. Jack felt obligated to explain to Bethany exactly what happened from his point of view. The result was a late-afternoon of very charged sex with Bethany, leaving them both exhausted.

"How many stories do you and Claire have?" Bethany asked, looking up at Jack as they lay together, recovering. She suspected there may be many more details yet to be revealed.

Jack thought for a moment. While there had never been a romance with Claire, so to speak, there were some very intimate moments, not too dissimilar to the story he'd just recounted. "Not that many."

"That's rather vague, Jack," Bethany said. "I wonder if Claire would say it's not too many?"

"Does it really matter? It's not like Claire is a part of our lives."

"But she was a big part of your life," Bethany pointed out.

'For a time," Jack agreed. "I don't really know much about your past relationships."

"So, you admit that you and Claire had a relationship?"

"Friendship," Jack corrected. "She's the sister of a friend. She always made it clear that she saw me more like a brother than boyfriend material."

"Despite your obvious interest in something more," Bethany stated what was so apparent to her.

"My interest, whatever it might have been, back then, is irrelevant."

"Not to me," Bethany countered. "Not now that I've met the woman."

"It's not like she's a threat," Jack reasoned. "Any more than if we'd met someone from your past."

"If we ever ran into someone I've masturbated in front of, I'm pretty sure you'd want to know all the details, too, Jack."

"How many people would that be, exactly?" Jack asked playfully, now more than a little curious about what secrets may lie in Bethany's past. He ran his hand gently over the curve of her ass, imagining her masturbating for someone, with someone, in some dimly lit dorm room.

Bethany enjoyed the feel as Jack's hand slid between her legs but tried to focus on the conversation. "I used that scenario rhetorically, with your story as a point of reference."

"Nevertheless," Jack persisted.

"Not that many," she replied, echoing Jack's vague response from moments before.

"More than one, less than, say, ten?" Jack continued probing, verbally and physically.

Despite the pleasurable sensations Jack was generating, Bethany shifted to sit up and face him. She reached for his hand. "I love what you're doing, Jack," she kissed the fingers that had just been inside her. "What we just did. But we're supposed to meet Claire in a little bit."
