"Need a refill?"

Jaye ask me. Leaning against the wall at Walt's house, one of our fellow teammates, a bunch of us guys just getting together to discuss next weeks game. There's a few girls traipsing around at his and his mates house. They're flaunting there goods about, trying to nab themselves a football player. Most of them hoping to be some players WAG. Sort of desperate and perverse if you ask me. But hell who am I to judge? I'm no saint.

I found my mate along with Jaye, none of these girls could hold a candle to what I have. I consider myself one lucky SOB.

I heard Dawson and Promises love escapade the other night, although I won't be the one to pop that cherry now, I can't wait to have my turn to get my hands on her.

Jaye and I invited her to come with us to this so called pre-game round up but she had plans with her father much to my disappointment. Dawson had to stay over for one of his classes but he said he would drop my later, if he could.

Now I'm standing here bored out of my damn mind just wanting to get back home to Promise, I'm itching to get my hands on her among other things.

"Nah I'm good." I don't really want to be to inebriated when I do get the chance to be with my mate. Uhm maybe Jaye could join us? Now, that I wouldn't mind in the least. Nah! The first time I'm with her I want it to be just her and I. That certain fantasy will have to come later. Pun definitely intended! I hope she would like to do something like that. To show the two people I value the most, to let them see much I care about them is all I want to do. Long to do.

"Man this sucks! Want to just ditch?" He's hating this just as much as I am. I don't know when we became such downers. We use to be the life of the party. Guess finding our mate and each other has calmed us down somewhat.

"Hey man there's someone wanting you to meet them in my room." Walt hands me a piece of crumpled of paper, then walks off back to his mate Clarissa. Confused I open the note, flattening it against my jeans.

We need to talk.
Meet me in Walt's room, now!

Very cryptic. Jaye reads it over my shoulder. His face has the same express as my own. Confusion.

"Who do you think it is?" Jaye mumbles, I haven't got the faintest idea.

"Maybe it's Promise? Trying to be all secretive and seductive like?" Now that's a plan I can get behind or in front of, either way she likes it. I'm down for it.

"Maybe, I'll be right back." Turning on my heal to scramble off to Walt's room, Jaye puts his hand on my shoulder stopping my progress.

"Want me to go with you?" Do I? If it's Promise and the note was just for me would she want Jaye joining us?

"Nah, I'll text you if you she wants us both." Jaye nods he head, as I head off to my much desired scandalous moment with Promise.

Slowly opening the door, the room is pitch black. Yes! She definitely wants to play. Who knew she could be so provocative? My little vixen. The light casting from out the hallway shows her figure lying on Walt's bed, wrapped up under the covers. Stepping quietly in the room, I close the door behind me.

"Promise? I love this game you're playing," I strip off my shirt, throwing it on Walt's bedroom floor "It's a major turn on baby." Removing the rest of my clothing I walk over to the bed. Sliding under the covers, I position myself right behind her.

Promise rolls over grabbing my hair in a fist, bringing my head to her for a long awaited kiss. Fuck! This is so hot.

Kissing her deeply, slipping my tongue in her mouth, we French kiss like there's no tomorrow. My dick jerks, fully engorged. Lowering my hand to grab her breast, I notice she is completely bare. Groaning out, I release her from our heated kiss. Lowering my head to her breast, I lick her nipple, plucking the other nipple with my fingers.

She moans out from the sensation, I go still. Releasing her nipple from my mouth, I raise my head, confusion sets in. That doesn't sound like Promise. That was not Promises moan!

Jumping off the bed in a rush, I run over to the light switch clicking it on. Only to find, to my horror, Marley laying on Walt's bed! Completely naked with the covers hanging at her waist showing off her puckered nipples that I just had in mouth! Disgusting!

"What the fuck Marley! What the hell do you think you are you doing?" Mad as hell at this point, I grab my clothes hurriedly throwing each item back on. While she sits up on the bed with an evil grin on her face. The fucking bitch! The nerve of this woman!

"Why are doing this to me? What do you hope to accomplish Marley?" Throwing my shirt over my head, it's just my damn luck, that Jaye picks this exact moment to crash into the room.

He stands there immobilized. Shock all over face. His eyes flicking back and forth from mine to Marleys. Disappointment showing clear through his features. Fuck! What a cluster fuck this is!

"Jaye I can explain." I hold my hands walking slowly over to him. He steps into the room closing the door behind me, before it closes a hand stops the door from clicking into place. The door opens showing Dawson standing in the doorway, his eyes begin searching all around the room. If I wasn't royally fucked before I definitely am now!

"Care to explain?" He calmly ask, but I hear the anger laced in his words.

"I was just leaving," Marley says, while she rises from the bed, fully naked. She picks up her clothes, quickly throws on her dress as she walks to door she stops in front of me. Placing her hand on my cheek "Thanks for the fuck, see you next time." Then exits the room, laughing, before I even have a chance to reply. Dread sits in me.

"Why?" Jaye barely whispers out the question. I hear the heartbreak in his voice. It's devastating.

"What?" He looks straight into my eyes. His own are filled with fury.

"Why did you fuck her?" The venom in his words has me stepping back away from them both.

"I didn't! Jaye I didn't fuck her. She tricked me! You saw the note, I thought it was from Promise!" Dawson shakes his head, clearly dissatisfied with my explanation.

"But she just said-"

"She fucking lied Jaye," walking up to him, I put my hands on his face. Making him look at me, I stare directly into his eyes.

"I love you Jaye. I would never do that to you. That bitch tricked me! Please believe me, you're the one I want not some skank!" His eyes show some much emotion I nearly buckle over from it. "I don't know why she did this Jaye but I did not nor will I ever be with anybody but and Promise!" I couldn't handle it if he doesn't believe me. It's going to be bad enough when Promise finds out. I can't lose them both. I will do everything in my power to convince them that I'm the innocent party here. That have to believe me!

"After all this time wanting you Jaye. Craving you. Do you think I would throw it all away just for some meaningless sex with a tramp like Marley? I would never hurt you that way." Please believe me! He turns his head, making me drop my hands away from his face. He's clearly not believing a word I am telling him.

"I believe him Jaye." Thank Fuck! At least someone does.

"Marley is devious. I've seen how she is with other men. She would do anything to get one of them in her clutches. I believe you man!" Dawson pats me on my back. I stare at Jaye going out of mind, just hoping that he will see reason and just believe me.

"Fine, I believe you. But this shit better never happen again Knox. I'm not kidding. If it does, I will drop your ass and not look back." His threat is clear. Knowing I would never do anything like that to hurt him, I agree with him wholeheartedly.

"Never Jaye. I love you baby!" Jaye nods his head, he starts walking to door to make his exit but I stop him mid track. Grabbing his bicep, I turn him around planting a much needed kiss on him. Delving my tongue into his mouth, I grab his head bringing him closer to me. Dawson clears his throat disrupting our heated moment. Groaning, I gingerly release Jaye looking over his shoulder to glare at Dawson.

"Not to put a damper on the this uhm event. But what are you going to tell Promise. I know you may not love her like you do Jaye. But she is our mate. She has a right to know and I'm sure Marley just can't wait to fill her in on what happened here." Fuck! He's absolutely right. What the hell am I going to tell her? Jaye may believe me because he loves me and understands how Marley is so vindictive, but Promise won't understand like he does. I'm officially fucked! After all she's had to deal with when it comes to me there's no way she would believe me. What am I going to now?

"Any ideas?" Because I basically haven't got a damn clue.

"Just explain it to her like you did with me. I'm sure she will understand just like I do." Nope! I don't think she will.

"She doesn't love me like you love me Jaye. She doesn't know Marley like we do. How would she ever believe me after all I have put her through already?" Dropping my head in pure defeat. I feel like my damn world is crumbling, yet again. It's never ending with me. I'm like a damn bomb. I drop in destroying everything in its wake.

"She might love you Knox. You don't know how she feels?" I'm sure Dawson means well but it's not very reassuring to me.

"You had sex with her Dawson. I haven't gotten that close to her yet. How could she even love me?" I know she doesn't. We haven't had a chance to bond yet. Thinking about that brings up another question.

"Did you mark her?" He just smiles that panty dropping smile proving that he has. Shit! I knew he did!

"Yes. Let me tell you both the sex was nothing but fucking amazing." Yea, he should be gloating. He got to pop her cherry after all. Damn I sound like suck a sleaze. A fucking perv. Well it is the one thing I'm good at. Really good at. Now I'm kicking myself for not taking the time with her that I should have already. I'm not the only one though. Jaye hasn't been getting close to her either. We've both been too wrapped up in each other to even think about it. Fuck! I'm a damn lousy mate!

"It's my own fault. I haven't been paying too much attention to her lately, if at all. I suck at being a mate." Jayes look says he understands my dilemma. We are both extremely guilty of neglecting her. We both should be ashamed of ourselves. I wouldn't blame her if she did end up deciding to reject us both and after this fiasco she just may with me. This could have all been avoided if I just turned on the damn light or realized I wasn't feeling the sparks and tingles between us. I'm a damn moron!

"Well there is a solution to your problems." Dawson says, eyeing us both with mischief in his eyes.

"Spend some time with her. Take her out on a date. Make her feel special. Do I have to explain everything to you morons!" He may be crude in the way he said it, but he does have a point.

"First though you have to settle this misfortune you got yourself into." True, but how? Then I remembered the note in my pocket. That's proof at least that Marley tricked me into coming into the room unaware. Right?

With that thought in my mind I start to formulate a plan. Determined that Promise will believe me by the time I'm done with my explanation, I smile.

"I think I know what to do." Resolved in my decision, I start explaining to them both how I can work this situation out and hopefully Promise will believe me and somehow I will start earning her trust back. I most assuredly owe this much to her. One way or the other.

I will get her to believe me!
