Can't Seem To Hide It

A Claim Of Passion

 Chapter 36: 

The days following Nathan's visit had been a whirlwind of emotions for Paige. Her feelings of jealousy and possessiveness had come to a head, and one night, she decided it was time to assert her presence in a way that would leave no room for doubt.

The cabin was quiet and dimly lit, the team already settled in for the night. Paige, her mind swirling with thoughts of insecurity, decided to take action. She had been contemplating how best to convey her feelings to Azzi, and tonight, she chose a direct approach.

"Azzi," Paige said softly, her voice carrying a mix of determination and affection. "I need to show you something."

Azzi, sensing the urgency in Paige's tone, looked up with curiosity. "What's up, Paige?"

Without hesitation, Paige went to the closet and retrieved a Nike sports bra and matching shorts. She changed into the athletic wear, her blonde hair still braided from earlier that day. Paige then walked into the living area, her presence radiating confidence.

Azzi, intrigued and slightly confused, followed Paige as she was guided to a cozy corner of the cabin. "What's going on, Paige?"

Paige took Azzi's hand, pulling her close. "I want you to understand just how much you mean to me," she said, her voice filled with intensity.

Without further ado, Paige closed the distance between them and kissed Azzi with fervent passion. The kiss was assertive, filled with all the emotions Paige had been holding back. Her hands roamed over Azzi's back, pulling her closer with an urgent need to express her feelings.

Azzi, initially startled, soon melted into the kiss. Her hands found their way to Paige's braid, and the passion between them grew. Paige's kisses became more intense, her touch leaving soft but undeniable marks on Azzi's neck. Azzi's breathing grew ragged, her body responding to Paige's touch with soft groans of pleasure.

"Paige," Azzi gasped between kisses, her voice breathless. "What are you doing?"

Paige pulled back just enough to look into Azzi's eyes, her gaze a mixture of affection and determination. "I need you to know that you're mine. No one else can ever take your place."

Azzi, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment, nodded slowly. "I get it. I'm yours."

Their embrace continued, with Paige's hands leaving lingering touches that spoke of her possessiveness. The marks left on Azzi's neck were a visible testament to Paige's commitment and passion. As they finally broke apart, Azzi looked dazed and flushed, her eyes reflecting a mixture of awe and satisfaction.

The following morning, Azzi emerged from the cabin to prepare for a game. She wore a hoodie to cover her neck, which still bore the marks of Paige's passionate claim. The intensity of the previous night had left her feeling both exhilarated and a bit sore, and she winced occasionally as she adjusted her hoodie to avoid aggravating the sensitive areas.

As she walked to the team's bus, Azzi tried to hide her discomfort, but the groans escaping her lips were hard to ignore. The team, already gathered and chatting before the game, noticed her pained expressions and covered-up appearance.

"Azzi, are you okay?" Aubrey asked, her tone a mix of concern and curiosity.

Azzi, attempting to sound nonchalant, nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little sore from the workout."

Ice raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Workout? You look like you've been through more than just exercise."

Azzi offered a strained smile, trying to downplay her discomfort. "Just had an intense night, that's all."

The teammates exchanged knowing glances, their curiosity piqued. Paige, still back in the cabin and folding clothes, smirked as she overheard the conversation. She knew exactly what had transpired and was quite pleased with the outcome of her assertive display of affection.

As Azzi finished her preparation and joined her teammates on the bus, the teasing continued. The playful banter and jokes about her appearance only added to her embarrassment, but she couldn't deny the satisfaction of having her feelings so clearly communicated and reciprocated.

The game went on, and despite Azzi's discomfort, she played with determination. Her teammates continued to make light-hearted comments, and Paige's smirk remained as a testament to her successful expression of love and possessiveness.

As the day drew to a close, Azzi and Paige reunited, their earlier interactions having only deepened their bond. The playful teasing from their teammates added a humorous touch to the situation, but the marks on Azzi's neck remained a powerful reminder of their intense and passionate connection.
