Title: Fourth and Long

Author: Michele M. Rakes

Length:Long Novel

Genre:LGBTTQ, Multicultural, Contemporary

Cover Artist: Valerie Tibbs

Blurb:

Irus Beaumont, cornerback for the Highlanders, has an issue with his nemesis: wideout for the Pirates, Jackson McCoy. Partly jealous over Jackson’s skill and ability to scrub coverage, Irus also struggles against an unbearable attraction to the receiver. Firmly ensconced in the closet, Irus also has a no football player rule, leaving his desires for Jackson unfulfilled. Anti-gay sentiment in the league keeps Irus closeted, even though he’d rather be out and proud. When Jackson McCoy suffers a gay bashing at the hands of his team mates after winning the national championship, he finds himself traded to the Highlanders. Spring training brings out Jackson’s competitive nature, eliciting the aggression of his new team’s cornerback, Irus Beaumont. In practice, Irus hurts Jackson badly. The injury places Jackson on the reserve roster. Jacks has plenty of time to contemplate his life, career, and his attraction to the sexy cornerback. Off to Orlando for the best rehab where guilt inspires Irus to call him every evening, Jackson can’t stop thinking about Irus, or what the season holds for his team.

In the back of my mind, I know it’s a mistake going through the door first. The flash of anticipation makes it worth the bruises. Irus hits me from behind, sprawling me across the floor, clinging to my backside. Hard muscle and sinew. All power, speed, and grit, amped up from my playing with his cock in the car. He was still erect, so I had to suck him through his pants. The poor man almost wrecked his precious Charger.

His full erection now grinds against my ass. I thrust back roughly, wanting him inside me.

We grapple. He tears at my clothing. My dress shirt is left in shreds. All I have left is my T-shirt. I twist in his grip, ripping open his pants, pulling at his shirt, needing his fucking abs. My tongue finds his belly button. He hisses, thrusts against me, his cock hitting my chin. I’m on him, sucking his black shaft. His hand buried in my hair guides me, rough at first, and then tender.

“You’re all I could think about after the game,” he says.

“Wish I could’ve been on the field,” I say, reluctant to leave his exquisite dick.

“Shit, how’s your leg, bro?”

“Trust me, I’ll always be able to handle your tackle.” I stroke him, looking up into his dark eyes full of concern, and smile.

“Still, I’m sorry. I know how much the game means to you.”

“You mean more,” I whisper.

“It can’t be easy, watching me play, when—”

“Are you gonna fuck me?”

The heat’s back in his eyes, but the concern’s there still. He blames himself. I don’t. Not anymore. My desire overrides everything. Part of me still can’t believe he’s here in my home, wanting me as much as I want him.

“Let’s go upstairs.”

With his hand in mine, I drag him into the living room, flipping on my grandfather’s elk-horn chandelier. A soft glow highlights the pale logs of the lodge. I love every timber of the place. We mount the curving stairway leading to my loft bedroom. The last man in my bed was Terry, during spring camp for the foster kids. Since then I’ve slept alone.

This may be weird, but I honestly feel like my favorite part of all this will be waking up not alone.

We’re halfway up the stairs when I turn to make sure he’s still on board. His eyes, black in the dim light, tear through me. It’s either lust or hate. The urge to ask seizes me. I stop on the step above him. His hand tightens on mine.

“Do you still hate me?”

He licks his lips. His Adam’s apple bobs, revealing his nervousness. “I’ve never hated you, Jacks. Just hated how much I wanted you. I—I’ve never fucked a teammate before. Hell, I never fucked a football player. They’ve always been off-limits.”

I feel dirty luring this man, who’s kept his football career so pure, into my bed. Should I tell him about Branson? Do I tell him the things that could make him walk away? Fuck. Why can’t this be easy? I want him so badly. My stomach hurts with need. Christ, my balls ache for release.

“Stay with me here, Jacks.” Irus moves up the steps. His strong hands curl around my biceps, shaking me, and I look into his troubled eyes.

“I wish I could say I stayed away from football players,” I whisper.

For a second, I don’t think he understands what I’m trying to say. He kisses me. This time it’s slow. His tongue lingers on mine. His mouth takes over all my functions, breathing for me, tasting so fucking good, and I’m at a loss. Irus is in control. Instead of hurting me, he’s making love to me with his amazing tongue.

Talented fingers find the buttons to my jeans, releasing my straining cock. I groan into his mouth as he strokes me. Irus draws back and smiles.

“I don’t care who you fucked as long as I’m the only one you sleep with now. I want you for myself. I don’t share. We do this, Jacks, I want a commitment.” He’s adamant. The sternness in his voice draws me from my lust-induced stupor.
