Love Faces Off

CHAPTER 13

Raegan was drifting wake when she heard her phone start to buzz. It took her a moment to realize where she was and who she was with. Had they really spent all night together in the same bed? Nick was spooned up against her back with his arm firmly around her waist and one of her breasts in his hand. A girl could get used to this. Buzz, buzz went her phone again. The outside world was trying to come into their bubble. As careful as she could she tried to reach the phone without waking nick. She knew she had failed when his thumb began to caress her n****e. Then he began kissing her neck before bringing his lips to her shoulder.

“Mmm, now if I didn’t know any better I would swear you were trying to sneak a peak at your phone, Angel.”

Just then Nick’s phone started buzzing. Raegan looked at Nick. They knew something was up for both phones to be going off. Reluctantly they separated and checked their messages.

Nick grumbled, “I had a different idea for our first activity this morning. Who was after you?”

“Pete. Giving a heads up that the team is, or at least the families are, planning to head to South Beach today. Wanted us to watch out and be careful not to get caught if we were heading there. You?”

“Andre. He a some of the single guys are heading to the topless beach. They wanted to see if I wanted to join them.”

Raegan sat up in the bed. The sheet falling down to her waist leaving her breasts exposed. “Do you want to join them?”she asked suductively.

“No, I have the most perfect breasts right here in front of me.”

He was on her in no time. Sucking and licking her breasts. They finally crawled out of bed an hour later. Just to shower together before going into the kitchen for coffee. Raegan looked at the clock and it read 8:30am

“So what do you have planned for your day off?”

“Our day off together.” Nick corrected her. “You promised me the day remember?”

Raegan remembered. She nodded as she sipped her coffee.

“I was able to make some arrangements to get us access to a private beach, cabana and pool. We can enjoy the day together and not have to worry about who sees. Then tonight, I have a special dinner reservation at a secluded Cuban restaurant that is known for providing privacy for those that don’t want the world to see.”

Nick’s phone buzzed again. He groaned.

Raegan walked up behind him and put her arms around him. “What is it?”

“Andre again. I guess there is a player only cocktail party in the Lounge tonight. He says since I begged off the beach… I told him I was meeting and old friend for the day. He is insisting I can’t beg off of this.”

“Well, what time are our reservation for dinner?”

“8pm but it is about 30 minutes away”

“What time is the cocktail party?”

Nick looked at his phone again, “He says 5-7pm so that everyone can have a night with their families.”

Raegan smile and said, “So you can do both. While you are at the cocktail party, I can be getting ready for our second date. No one will be the wiser. We might have to get creative about leaving but I’m sure we can figure it out.”

“You won’t be upset that I spend some time with the guys?”

Raegan laughed, “Absolutely not, Mr. Bell you have been dating the wrong type of girls.”

Nick turned to wrap his arms around her, “Clearly, Ms. Moore.”

Raegan went up on tip toes to give him a quick kiss. “How about we get dressed and head to the beach now. We can have some lunch then come back here for some chill time together. I may want to run out later this afternoon to do some shopping. I didn’t exactly pack expecting a social life. I’m afraid you saw my only dinner outfit last night.”

Nick gave her a much deeper kiss, then said, “Have I told you how perfect you are?”

While Raegan was in the bathroom getting ready for the day. Nick sent Andre a message telling him he would make the cocktail party. He quickly got changed into beach gear and went down to arrange a car. The plan was he would get into the car and everyone see him leave. Raegan would come down after he left and the car would circle around and wait for her about a block from the hotel.

Raegan was packing the rest of her gear when her phone buzzed.

in the car circling the block. Lobby full of

team and families. They asked how we did last night.

Told them we never even saw each other. Hahaha.

See you soon Angel.

Raegan slung her bag over her shoulder and grabbed her hat and sunglass then headed down the elevator. Nick was right the lobby was over flowing with Thunder staff, players, and their families. Raegan wanted to pass through as undetected as possible. But John flagged her down.

“Ms. Moore. Ms. Moore!” He said waving at her from across the lobby.

Raegan pasted on a smile, “Yes.”

“How did it go last night? Were there any problems with Mr. Bell?”

“No, no problems at all.” Raegan hoped she wasn’t blushing, “We never even seen each other.”

John looked relieved, “Good, good to hear. I’m in a lot of hot water with Mr. Kwatski over this whole mess. He will be happy to hear that it is all working out.”

Just then Pete walked up.“Hey, John. Raegan, can I borrow you for a minute.”

“Sure.”

They moved off to the side and Pete said, “I thought you could use a rescue.”

“Thanks.” She said as her phone buzzed.

Pete. Will be out soon

“Are you sure about this?” Pete asked with concern in his voice.

“Ask me in 4 days.” Raegan said a bit on the sad side. Pete gave her a hug.

“I’m here as a friend if or when you need me. What’s the cover story on not heading out to the beach.”

“I’m meeting friends that live near by for a pool party at their house.”

Pete nodded, “Good. I’m going to start heading everyone out to the buses . Give me 20 minutes and the lobby will be clear. Buses are to the right. Have him pick you up further down the block to the left. There is a coffee shop you can wait at and not be seen.”

“Thank you.”

Raegan sent Nick a quick text and left out the lobby to the left as Pete suggested. The coffee shop was out of site of the hotel and buses . She got there just a few minutes before Nick and the hired car did. She slid in the back of the car and they were off.

It was nearly 4:45 before Raegan made it back to the hotel. They had a glorious morning on the private beach Nick had found. After spending way to much time in the sand and water they had walked around the local farmers market where they decided a lunch of samples was the way to go. At her insistence Nick had left her in the fashion district so she could shop. He had wanted to stay with her. But they were already running behind and she wanted her outfit for the night to be a surprise. It hadn’t been easy but she found the perfect dress for tonight. It was a little daring for her but she was sure Nick would love it. She entered the lobby just as all the players began unloading from the elevator. Nick was among the group she picked him out almost instantly but tried to act casual.

Pete called out to her, “Hey, did you have fun with your girlfriends today?”

Raegan beamed, “The day was perfect. Exactly, what I needed.”

She glanced at Nick. She was happy to see a smile cross his face as he was talking with Andre.

“You guys try not to destroy the place in there tonight. Remember you have a game tomorrow.”

All of them, “Yes, ma’am”

She hurried onto the elevator. She had to hurry if she was going to be ready in time.

Nick was antsy and ready for this little cocktail party to be over. It was 7:15 and he had been trying to beg off for the last 30 minutes. But he couldn’t get away. He had sent Raegan a text telling her they would have to meet up outside the hotel. As the players started to file out of the hotel bar, whistles started going up like crazy. Nick pushed his way to the front to see what the commotion was about. Walking across the lobby was his Angel in the sexiest dress he had ever seen. It started with a pair of 5 inch stiletto black heals. His eyes then climbed up a pair of sun kissed legs. To the purple silk dress she wore. It looked like liquid on her body and move seamlessly with her. It only went to mid thigh but hugged her every curve. She stopped to look back at the elevator. This showed the barely there back of the gown. The dress was backless and open to just above the swell of her perfect ass. At the sound of the whistles, she turned to face the players. The front was a simple design low cut between her perky breasts and one thin strap of her right shoulder. The left shoulder complete bare. She had her hair all down a swept over to the right. Nick thought she was purposely leaving that shoulder open for him to kiss. As he finished looking her up and down their eyes met. A very naughty grin crossed her face.

She walked closer to the guys, “Hello, guys. How was the party?”

Andre Cluck let out a low whistle, “I’m thinking we should have included the medical staff. Ms. Moore you are smoking in that dress.”

Instead of chastising him Raegan smiled and laughed, “Thank you, Mr. Cluck. That was the look I was going for. You fellas have a good night I’m off to meet a friend for the evening.”

Pete came up beside Nick and said, “That is one hell of a lucky friend don’t you think, Nick?”

Nick was speechless by her beauty and the sight of her walking way. He just nodded. As he watched, he was sure at any minute her dress would slip further down in the back.

Pete elbowed Nick out of his gaze. “We are all heading up. You coming, Bell?”

Nick jolted to his senses, now that Raegan had cleared the doors of the lobby. He pretended to pat his jacket pockets. “I’ll catch the next one I think I left my phone in the bar.”

The plan had been for Nick to separate from the group and then circle around the back to meet Raegan at the coffee house where their car was waiting. Nick quickly went back into the bar pretending to retrieve the phone. Then he exited the building through the outer entrance of the bar just as Raegan had begun to walk toward the coffee shop. Nick glanced into the lobby and seen what players were left were not looking so he ran after her. He caught her in a few strides right at the edge of the hotel.

Reagan smiled at him, “Well, hello there.”

“Hello, yourself sexy. That dress…” He traced his finger down her spine to where the low back ended. This cause delicious tingles down her back.

“Careful someone might see you.”

“Let them look. I can’t believe I get to spend the evening with someone as hot as you.”

Nick placed his hand low on her bare back as he guided her toward the waiting town car. As they climbed into the car he knew he was in love and would never let her go. Now he just had to convince her to stay with him. He only had four days.
