League of His Own Ch. 03

"I know. So those are the two women I am with, so to speak. I'd love to take you on a date too, Wendy. More than one. I don't want this to be just about sex. You're so much more than that to me."

"Anyone would think you're a smooth talker, Danny."

"How long have you been interested in me, Wendy? Let's be honest."

"First day I arrived at our school and saw you. I remember you were talking with your friends, but you looked my way and our eyes met briefly. Then you smiled. God, I still remember my knees going weak in that moment."

"I remember as I thought 'Who is that gorgeous young woman?' at the time. I should have spoken to you properly long ago. Better late than never, as they say."

"Where should I meet you?"

"I'll ask the coach if I can just leave the stadium with you after the game. We don't always have to take the bus, it's just a matter of convenience for us."

She kissed me again, another long kiss, earning a smile when I slid my tongue into her mouth, and I don't think either of us wanted to break the kiss until I noticed the front door to her home open, her mother standing in the doorway. That's when I pulled back and chuckled. Wendy turned her head and gasped, looking back at me. Wishing her goodnight, she returned the words before I watched her walk towards her mother.

To my surprise, her mother waved at me, waving back at her, before I returned home.

We were beaten again that Saturday. I played at stand-off again next to Billy. Our game was in sync as usual, but we were playing the team second on the ladder, who were on a great run of form, and we just had few answers. Managing to set up a couple of tries, but they still beat us by twenty-odd points in the end. So used to losing nowadays, I didn't let it affect my mood as badly as it did. But now I knew how the players felt previous seasons, when they lost game after game. It's difficult to shake the feeling before every game that we were going to lose, it was more a case of not being embarrassed each game.

Thankfully, there were only a few games until the end of the season, and most of my teammates knew my school career could possibly end with a championship. The coach promises that the entire club would be there to see us in the grand final, if we made it. "We'll make it, coach. We're going to win the whole damned thing," I stated in the changing room after the game, "If we don't, frankly, I'm not sure I could show my face in school again."

Kim and Wendy were waiting for me outside the players' entrance. The latter looked fantastic in some figure hugging jeans and a tight t-shirt with jacket. Both smiled upon seeing, giving each of them a soft kiss. Kim then spoke up as I probably looked a little awkward. "Just want to say hello before your date tonight, Danny," she said.

"We sat together watching. You played well," Wendy added, "Scored a good try."

"That's five for the season, Danny. Not bad," Kim stated, "Anyway, where are you taking Wendy tonight?"

"I thought you didn't want to know?"

"I don't want to hear about your sex life, Danny. But I don't mind hearing about you treating others to a nice time, and I think Wendy and I are going to get along famously."

"Oh, well, I was just thinking some dinner, Wendy's choice, of course, and then a drink or two."

"And a dance?" Wendy asked eagerly.

Chucking and nodding, I replied, "Sure, and a dance."

Kim told us to have fun, amused when she walked away to meet my mother and sister's waiting nearby. They all waved in my direction before I took Wendy by the hand towards my car, as I'd driven to the stadium, knowing I wouldn't be getting the bus back to the clubhouse either.

Driving into town, I asked what she was eager to eat for dinner. Proving to be another woman after my own heart, she suggested Italian. So I found us a little restaurant, ordering a two course meal, a glass of wine for her to enjoy while I sipped at a beer. Conversation flowed easily as it had when she'd visited my home. No doubting she was ambitious, another reminder of Kim. I'm just glad that, in my eyes, she wasn't just a Kim clone. That would have felt weird.

I wasn't much of a dancer, my taste in music resulting more in head-banging and moshpits than dancing, but the place we found was playing tunes I could tolerate. Watching Wendy cut loose was an experience, though. Gone was the shy girl who most people ignored around the hallways at school. She was all over me on the dancefloor, though we were in a place no-one seemed to recognise us, in our own little world.

And her dancing against me was provocative, little wonder she would have felt the bulge in my trousers. "Is that for me?" she breathed into my ear.

"I'm loving this side to your character," I whispered back.

"I love to dance. And knowing it's turning you on makes it even better." Feeling her fingers grasp the bulge in my trousers, I leaned down and kissed her. Holy shit, was it intense, running my hands down her back to her arse. Pressing into her, I smiled when she released a little whimper. Meeting those brown eyes again, I could see the desire. "I'm a virgin, Danny," she whispered.

"Oh..."

"I've not really had a boyfriend before."

"Do you really want me to be your first?"

She nodded eagerly but said, "More than anything. But not tonight. Do you understand why?"

"I'm in no rush, Wendy. This has been a lovely first date."

Her face beamed with delight before she kissed me again. "Don't want it to end either," she said.

We stayed out until well after midnight. I barely touched alcohol, both of us sticking to soft drinks or water, but we certainly built a sweat as we danced away. Finally leaving early the next morning, I wrapped an arm around her as we walked back to my car. We held hands the entire drive back to her place, thankful I drove an automatic. Doing the gentlemanly thing of walking to her front door, we were busy making out when the door opened, revealing her mother wearing a robe.

"Mum!" Wendy squealed.

"Oh, hush, Wendy. I knew Danny would be polite enough to walk you to the door." She opened the screen door, offering her hand. "Nice to meet you, Danny. I'm Anne."

"Nice to meet you."

"Have a nice night, Wendy?"

She glanced at me with a smile. "It was delightful, Mum."

"Are you staying the night, Danny?"

"Um... No, ma'am. Not tonight. Just dropping Wendy home and making sure she was inside, safe and sound."

"Ah, a gentleman. Few of those around nowadays."

I had one or two self-deprecating retorts but kept them to myself. "Well, I should go home and sleep. Lovely to meet you." I left a soft kiss on Wendy's lips. "I'll see you at school on Monday but I'll call tomorrow."

"Goodnight, Danny. Thanks for tonight."

"My pleasure."

Both stayed at the door until I was back in my car, waving as I pulled away. It was a short drive home, surprised to find Kyla was still up, sitting in the living room in near darkness. When I sat down next to her, I could see in the faint light that her cheeks were wet. "What's wrong?" I had to ask quietly.

"I had a date tonight because I thought that maybe I could be with someone else so you can focus on your private life without your mother and sister's cramping your style." I hugged her immediately as I had no idea she thought that way. "He was a nice guy but he wasn't you. When he kissed me at the end of the night, I felt nothing. I just thought about you instead. I kinda freaked out, I think. Pushed him away. I'm sure I left the poor guy confused."

"Maybe it was just him?"

"No, it just confirmed that I can't be with anyone else except you and my sister, Danny. I love you."

"I love you too, Kyla." Lifting her chin, I met her eyes, seeing her return a crooked grin. "Is this too difficult, what we're doing?"

"No, it's not that. I went out with the best of intentions. Aimee's wired differently, she doesn't crave intimacy and affection like I do. She can go without sex and your attention for weeks, and if she's desiring something, me and Mum can help her out." Hugging me again, she asked, "Where's Wendy?"

"I took her home. We're taking things slow."

"Why? It's obvious you like each other."

"She's a virgin."

"Ah, so my brother is being the man I know he is at heart."

"I want her to be sure that she wants me as her first before we make the leap. With Kim, there was no hesitation because we've loved each other for so long. Wendy and I have appreciated each other from afar since she started our school, but with my life how it was, it's taken this long to finally admit that we do like each other."

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" she asked softly, "Not sex, I can't do that after you've been on a date, but I'd love to snuggle with my brother tonight."

"Kyla, you can snuggle with me any night you want."

As soon as we were in bed, snuggling did eventually turn into sex. We couldn't help ourselves, Kyla underneath me as I slowly thrust inside her. I did feel a little guilty at heart having gone on a date with Wendy only to return home and sleep with my sister, but I also recognised that Kyla needed me in an intimate manner that evening. I know I lasted a while, long enough that my sister enjoyed more than one orgasm, before I finally enjoyed one of my own.

Remaining joined together, we made out until we were almost falling asleep. I needed a shower after a night out then some wonderful sex, taking her by the hand so we could have a quick wash. Then we returned to my room to snuggle, lying on my back as she lay on her side, cuddling tightly into me, feeling her fingers caressing my chest.

"Thank you for that," she whispered, "I promise to talk to you from now on instead of crying in the dark."

"Even if I'm not here, all you need do is call or message. You might be my big sister but this life isn't easy, Kyla. We both know that."

"When did my little brother get so wise?"

"Not sure about that. Still expecting it all to blow up in my face eventually. But I'll enjoy myself until it does."

"I love you," she breathed, knowing she was drifting off.

"Love you back. Goodnight, gorgeous."

She mumbled something but she was already asleep by the time I turned to look at her. Kissing her forehead, I relaxed and let sleep overcome me as well.
