CHAPTER NINE
Stephen
I woke up to the weekend alarm, roused out of a dream about Mandy. This time it was based on real events. I had something to fantasize about, and I turned on my back and gripped my cock for a moment.
It was the first day of the tennis camp. I needed to make Brandon breakfast so we could be there on time, since it started at nine and lasted a few hours.
I couldn’t wait to see Mandy again.
I jerked off quickly and then pulled on some shorts to head to the kitchen in to make coffee. Brandon was asleep when I got home, and I locked the door behind a tired Mike and Danielle as they headed to their apartment.
I had a beer to celebrate the night, wishing that I wasn’t alone in my bed. I liked the feeling of Mandy against me and wanted so much more. I wanted to wake up with her in my arms, but I didn’t see that as a possibility quite yet.
I knocked on Brandon’s door, telling him to wake up, before I went to take a shower. I didn’t know what to expect from today so far. I’d watched a game or two of tennis on television, but I didn’t know the specifics of it. It reminded me of racquetball that I played at the gym with friends, with more of a point. That was more of a stress relief for me.
I thought back to last night while I was in the shower again, playing back the way she felt wrapped around me. Mandy was perfect; sweet and sexy. I knew that she was feeling nervous and shy during moments of last night, but when she let her walls down, Mandy gave her entire body to me. I thought about the game tomorrow and depending on how things went today. Maybe I’d ask her to join me. It would be a fun day and if she and Brandon hit it off that would make it all the better.
I knew that Brandon wanted a family. I could always see it in his eyes, and we’d discussed it several times over the years. I explained that I was going to be selective about who I let into his life. I had to find a woman that would love him as much as I did, and I wouldn’t put up with any of the step mom shit I’d heard about from friends. Brandon was my priority, and he practically had to be hers as well until the night was quiet and it was just us. I was happy to worship her then and let her pleasure me.
I could imagine that with Mandy. It frightened me a little bit. I needed to know a lot more before I let this get any more serious and today would be the test for me.
I fixed us sausage and eggs for breakfast and drank a couple of cups of coffee, since anxiety had started to take over. I felt great when I woke up from last night, thinking about the amazing sex and what this could mean, but I was a little wary. I had not been into a woman for a long time, and there was much more to this than just her and I.
There was Brandon.
He went to dress in something that he could move in, sounding excited to go. I wore some workout shorts and a loose T-shirt with shoes that I could move in, since I was under the impression that I was going to be involved. We left the house, and I headed to the older part of town to the YMCA. It was an older building but important enough to the city that it was kept up and I looked at it as I parked. We probably didn’t come here enough.
I walked inside, noting that the courts were in the back of the building. We walked through the various sections, and I pushed the door open to see Mandy playing a casual game with a guy around her age. She was dressed in the same style outfit from when we worked out together. Her laughter made me smile as she slammed the ball into the other court. I might not know the sport inside and out, but she looked like she knew what she was doing.
She looked like she loved playing tennis.
There were five other kids with parents watching the game, and a glance at the clock told me that we were a few minutes early. Brandon looked them over while I held onto his shoulder protectively. “I think you’re going to have a great time here.” I was talking to him but staring at Mandy, who glanced up at me with a soft smile on her face. I saw the way her eyes lit up when she saw me and warmth spread over my skin.
Her and the guy stopped the game and walked over to us, introducing themselves. Mandy was perky and outgoing as she focused on each kid and the parents with them. Once she got to me while Kyle was busy with another child, she leaned down to look into Brandon’s face.
“Hey, Brandon. I work with your dad. It’s great to meet you.”
He shook her outstretched hand and smiled as she looked up at me. “Hi, Mandy.”
“He said that you really like tennis?” she asked as he nodded firmly at her. “We’re going to have a great time.”
She stood and gave me another long look before she joined Kyle and went over the basics of the class. They would work with the kids and parents on some of the main skills and promised a good time.
I watched as the kids went out, leaning against the wall to watch as they taught them the proper way to hit the ball. The two instructors took turns with the kids, and while the guy was nice, I could see that Mandy loved children. I couldn’t take my eyes from her as she moved and laughed, lighting up the entire court.
Once they were done, the parents were encouraged to tap the ball back and forth with their kids. It was fun, and I found myself enjoying the time with Brandon, even as I stole glances at Mandy to see her smiling at us. The day seemed to pass quickly, and I waited for her after she told us that she’d walk us to the car.
Mandy pulled her hair into a messy bun before walking over and looking at us both. “What did you think, Brandon?”
“That was so much fun. I can’t wait until next week!” She and I exchanged a glance, and she smiled as she looked back down at him.
“I’m glad. I want everyone to love tennis as much as I do,” Mandy told him as we turned and made our way through the building. Even sweaty from her day, Mandy was stunning. I looked down at her hand, longing to reach out and grab it as she kept talking to Brandon about school and his interests.
That turned me on even more. She was so kind to him, and even though I knew she was aware of my presence the way I was hers, she didn’t shove him aside. She got to know him, and I could see by the way he looked at her at the car that he liked Mandy.
I unlocked the door, and Brandon got in as I looked at Mandy. “So my brother has tickets to the local baseball game tomorrow, and I need a date. Want to join us?”
Her face lit up, and her cheeks turned pink as she glanced at the car. “Is Brandon going?”
“I haven’t discussed it with him yet, but probably. It’ll be a good time.” I smiled at her.
“That sounds great. What time does it start?” Mandy asked, and my stomach relaxed.
“I can pick you up at one. How does that sound?” I asked as she nodded with excitement in her eyes. “What are your plans for the rest of the day?”
“I have to have dinner with my parents. Every Saturday night, like I have no life. They want to hear all about the new job.” Mandy grimaced for a moment. “Sorry. I don’t hate it there. I just hate the questions and the pressure.”
“I understand,” I assured her, seeing how much they affected her. “Try to have a good time. I can talk after if you want. I think that I’ll just be hanging out with Brandon. We usually go to dinner and maybe a movie on the weekend, unless he’s wiped out from today.” I stepped a little closer to her, watching her eyes widen. “You were great out there. With all the kids, but especially Brandon. He really likes you.”
“I like him too. He looks so much like you, Stephen. He’s a mini you.” She looked up at me and licked her lips. “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, Stephen.”
“Yeah, you will. Have a good night.” I wanted to kiss her, but this wasn’t the time or place. I had to build up to that. I reluctantly stepped away to go around to my side of the car. I watched her walk back toward the building, remembering how it felt to have her juicy ass pressed to me while she was crying out my name. I was in so much fucking trouble.
