“Fucking mine,” I tell her, looking into her eyes, desperate for her to meet me halfway.
She does—every time.
“Yours,” she confirms.
I play with her clit, sending her over the edge with me following closely after.
When we’ve caught our breath, I kiss her deeply, humming as I press my chest against her.
I can tell Lily has something on her mind, the uncertainty evident in her eyes as she gazes up at me.
“What is it?” I ask her, running a hand down her cheek.
“Did you mean it? That I’m yours? Or was it the heat of the moment? It’s okay if it was, I just want to know.”
Lily never stops surprising me.
In my mind, she’s been mine from the moment I told my fucking teammates to lay off her.
“Christ, I’m lying on top of you with my cock still inside you. Of course you’re mine, Lily.”
Her smile is breathtaking, the relief evident in her face.
“Come on—let’s take a shower, and I’ll show you once more just how mine you are.”
“I’d love that.”

We’ve just finished dinner together with Harriet when Lily gets a call and excuses herself quickly.
I know she hasn’t been able to catch up with her girls since we got back a couple of days ago.
As Lily leaves the room, I start helping Harriet clean up the kitchen.
“I’m sad that she’s leaving soon. It’s been nice having a woman around here as well. No offence,” Harriet says.
Just like me, she’s dreading the take-off back to America, which is approaching faster than I’d like.
“Yeah, none taken. I’ll miss her as well,” I tell her, looking down at my hands as I rinse off our plates.
Long-distance relationship.
Something I’ve never done.
I’ve never really done any type of relationship.
But with Lily, I’ll take whatever I can get.
She’s mine, and I’m hers; and for now, that’s everything that matters.
“Do you think she would stay? If you asked?”
Harriet’s not the first to think of this. I’ve thought about it several times, considering asking her to just stay, or come back to me as soon as she can.
It’s been on the tip of my tongue, but then I remember her trip, and how she lights up whenever she mentions something new she’d like to try or a place to visit.
I don’t want to be the reason she lost her spark, all because she was back in my condo, waiting for me to get back from practice to have dinner and movie nights.
