“Leya, you want to pick my shoes?” Leya comes running into our closet and I show her the tennis shoes that will go with my gray joggers and white tank top. She picks my Nike Air Max ST 1992 and I high-five her choice.
“Go get your bag so we can go” Leya runs out to get the bag I packed for her this morning while I slip on my shoes and finish my hair. When I’m done I clean my mess and go to my room, checking my bag to make sure I have everything ready for A.J’s game. When I’m sure I’m ready, I get Leya and go downstairs where Jade is waiting and talking on the phone. I grab the bag of snacks I asked her to get ready for us and we all head out to the car.
“I don’t care what he has to say, he’s a minority owner, regardless he needs my approval for any construction. If he decides to go forth on his own dime, keep a record of the project. Who he hires, who does every single stage of wiring, I want to know everything”. I smile as I strap Leya into her seat while Jade continues her call. Business Jade used to intimidate me but now she’s just sexy. So commanding and in control, she’s in her element when it comes to business. I love that I have a front row seat to support her. Jade pulls out of the driveway, connecting her phone to the car, making a Latino male’s voice sound throughout the car.
“Yes ma’am, Mrs. Knight, I will make sure everything is taken care of”.
“Thank you, José”.
“Hey, it’s my business as well, I only want to do the best for our customers”.
“Then we have the same goal, keep me updated”. I smile as Jade says her goodbyes to the man before sending a message to Imani. After being Alexia’s personal assistant and helping Amaya I know how busy it can be. I can only imagine Jade’s workload. I wonder how Imani handles it all when Jade has so many clients and is constantly busy.
“What? Why are you smiling?”
“No reason in particular, I like watching you work”. Jade’s cocky smirk slowly makes its way to her face and I feel my core jump before forcing myself to calm down.
“Oh yeah, why is that?”
“I like seeing you take control and how you command everything around you. It’s admirable and sexy. But are you sure you don’t need to work, I’m sure A.J would understand”. As soon as I told A.J that Jade and I made up, he begged me to ask her to come to his first game. I made him ask Jade himself and she immediately agreed and cleared her schedule for him and Leya. She doesn’t even think twice about treating my kids as her own. She can be so sweet sometimes it’s impossible not to love her at this point.
“Of course, I apologize about the calls I’m keeping a close eye on Donovan and his schemes. As soon as he breaches the contract he’s out. He even tried tearing restaurants down in claims of a renovation. That would seriously harm the employees and owners, it was practically a shutdown and rebranding”.
“How are you so sure he’ll breach the contract?”
“Knight industries has always had a zero-tolerance policy. Donovan is an as-butthole, so it’s only a matter of time”. I smirk at Jade, holding in my laugh at her censorship. Since when does Jade censor herself?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You censored yourself, it’s cute”.
“Well of course, there’s a kid in the car”. She states the words as if it’s obvious which makes me smile more. I can’t believe this is the same woman that never wanted kids, she’s great with them. We talk during the entire drive and when her phone hours off she dutifully ignores it. It made me feel special, she said that we’re more important than her work but training and actions are different. Jade has proven everything she says. Even without telling me how she feels verbally I can get the hint regardless.
I’m starting to think Nate wasn’t too far off. Who would’ve thought a woman like Jade would start falling in love with little ole me? I don’t know if I should be cheeky or grateful, so I settle for both. Jade finds a parking spot at the packed soccer fields and Leya starts cheering to see A.J.
“Hey listen, I don’t care if you play and you can sit on your own but do not run into that field. Do you understand me?” Leya is jumping in her seat and I know that she’s not listening. I sigh but get her out of the car as Jade gets the bag and lawn chairs. I notice a few people pointing us out but mostly everyone is focused on their own kids and family. With all the drama it’s been a while since Jade and I have gone out on a family outing. It reminds me of how this all started, we’ve come a long way since then.
Leya reaches for Jade and she doesn’t hesitate to take her from my arms, transferring everything to one arm. I smile at the pair and take a quick picture before helping her carry the bag and chairs despite Jade's argument. I spot A.J’s team warming up and go to my aunt Lia and uncle Marcos, sitting on their lawn chairs under an umbrella. Leya and Jade set up a spot next to my aunt as she ushers me over.
“I talked with you mother”. I sigh, of course she did. Aunt Lia waves her hand, “I’m not going to say anything, just remember not the whole family agrees with the decision. The family and we love you and A.J and Leya, you will always be familia, si? Life is too short to be at odds with your loved ones”.
“You’re right, thank you Aunt Lia”.
“Of course, now keep an eye out for me, if any of those oversized kids tackle A.J, I may run onto the field”.
“I might be right there with you”.
“Oh no you won’t” Jade chimes in as Leya sits in her little chair, already munching on her fruit. “Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Toro, if you’d like breakfast we have plenty”. My aunt and uncle look surprised by Jade’s offer as they decline, saying they ate with A.J this morning.
“Yay A.J!” Leya stands from her chair as A.J waves at her from his spot on the field. I take my seat next to my aunt and start taking pictures of A.J.
“Awe he’s so damn cute in his little jersey”. Jade laughs as I gush over A.J. Andres would be so proud seeing his son out on the field like he was, Andres had a natural talent for soccer, he loved it. Jade puts a finger under my chin, turning my head so I’m looking at her.
“His father is looking down watching him now and I know he’d be proud of the woman and mother you’ve become”. Jade gives me a quick kiss and I smile, giving her a longer kiss, biting her lip as I pull away.
“Thank you, Jade. That means a lot”. I turn my attention to the field as the ref blows the whistle and we start cheering for A.J and his team. The game is a mix of comedy, suspense, and excitement. Just as I suspect, A.J is a natural, I can tell how much he loves soccer, the passion and time he’s put into it at such a young age. He’s been practicing, he’s even trying moves that professionals use, not always successfully, but it’s only a matter of time. I want to make sure I support his dream. If he wants to play professionally one day, I’m going to do all I can to be there and help him succeed.
After the game we pack up and wait for A.J to finish talking with his team to congratulate him. He’s a natural star and even scored 2 goals, I’m glad that I’m able to see him play. I had missed so many games but I’m determined to never miss another.
“You know, A.J is really good, would he like to go to the game tonight?” Jade asks as Leya talks with my uncle who slips a 5 dollar bill into her hand, telling her to save it. I swear wherever Leya goes she’s getting spoiled.
“Tonight as in today, tonight?”
“Yes, Kitten, tonight, tonight. I took the weekend off so we could all spend time together. It’s been a while with everything going on, I think the kids would enjoy it a lot. Your aunts and uncles and friends are welcome as well”.
“Really? That’s a lot of tickets” Jade smirks, leaning over and whispering in my ear. “You’re adorable, Kitten. I own a box at the stadium”. Jade bites my ear before moving back and I raise my brow as we give each other a familiar heated look.
“Okay, we’ll go to the game, I’ll invite everyone, but I want some…alone time first”.
“Oh, really? Do you have something in mind?” I smirk and nod as I think of all the things Jade and I can get up to in her playroom.
“I might have a few ideas”.
“Care to share, Kitten?”
“How about I show you when we get home?” Jade’s smirk is just as wide as mine and twice as devious as she grabs my hips, pulling me close to her.
“Not even a hint?” I wrap my arms around her neck as her hands drop down to my ass, kneading and caressing, not giving a damn about who’s watching. I can see and hear the soccer moms around us practically melting and I can’t blame them. Jade is sexy without trying and she feels even better.
“I want you to take me to your playroom” I whisper in her ear, licking the shell of her ear as I move back. Her hold on me tightens and I feel a low grumble reverberate from her chest.
“You’re killing me, Kitten”.
“You’ll be okay” I laugh but Jade just stares, a look on her face that I can’t decipher, but there’s a small smile as well. She mumbles something to herself but before I can ask what she said, I hear Leya and my aunt and uncle cheering for A.J. I step back from Jade, watching as A.J struggles to carry Leya in his arms, eventually setting her on the ground and b holding her hand.
“Angel! You came!” A.J comes over with a wide smile, holding up his hand for me to shake and I feel a pang in my chest. He looks just like A.J, he even has his number. I hold out my hand and he does Andres’ and my handshake. I guess he’s been watching those videos that I sent him of Andres playing soccer. Our handshake was our ritual, before and after every game. I suck in my tears and do the handshake with A.J.
“Of course I came, you were incredible, 2 goals too, badass” he laughs and gives me a tight hug.
“I watched the videos of my dad that you sent me, thank you. He looked really cool”.
“Of course” I kiss the top of his head before he pulls back and goes to Jade, holding out his hand.
“Hi, I’m A.J, it’s nice to meet you and thank you for coming to my game” I smile as Jade shakes his hand with a warm smile on her face. It’s just like when she met Leya for the first time. She really is a natural with kids.
“It’s nice to meet you A.j, I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re a natural on the field, do you want to play professionally one day?”
“Of course, my dad says I have to practice a lot”.

“Your dad is a smart man, would you like to see a game one day?”
“Yeah! They look so fun!”
“What if I told you, we can go tonight, or whenever you’d like. If you keep up your grades and practice, along with your parents' permission of course”.
“Really?! Tonight and whenever I want?”
“If…?”
“If I keep up my grades and practice real hard and my parents say yes, can I?” A.J runs over to ask my aunt and uncle and I laugh as Jade smirks.
“He’s a good kid, very respectable”.
“Yeah, my uncle doesn’t play about disrespect, he was a military man so he can be a hard ass. But it’s good for A.J”.
“Don’t count yourself short either, you’re an excellent mother, Angel. I would’ve loved having a mom like you growing up”. I sigh, a wave of contentment filling my chest. I love this woman.
“Thank you Jade, and I think you’re a great mom too. You’ve taken my kids in with no hesitation and are helping me raise them like they’re your own. You do so much for everyone around you and I admire that about you. It really means the world to me seeing the great relationship you have with them”.
“We’re a family now, Angel. Of course I will treat them as my own, because they are my family as well. When I married you, I married them, I know this and I’m glad to have a family like yours. It’s very different from how I was raised and I like having a chance to do it right, unlike my parents”. Jade speaks as if she’s not saying the most endearing words I’ve ever heard. I’m starting to really love this woman, I need to relax a bit before I get carried away. I told Jade how I felt but I don’t want her to feel pressured.
“You’re overthinking, relax Kitten, just live, don’t worry so much” Jade gives me a quick kiss before we start packing up our spot as the next teams start coming onto the field.
“Angel and Jade, can I spend the night?” A.J asks as my aunt fixes Leya’s messy hair.
“Yeah, of course, if your parents say it’s okay” Jade nods in agreement.
“If that’s the case, we’ll take them out for lunch and meet you at the stadium. I know you newlyweds want some time alone” my aunt smirks at Jade still packing up behind me. My face heats because it has been harder to keep my hands off of Jade these days. I can’t seem to get enough of her.
“Thank you, I’ll see you guys later, Leya be good and listen to your aunt and uncle”. We say our goodbyes before going our separate ways. I text my friends on the way home, letting them know that Jade invited us to the soccer game tonight. I’m lost in my phone when Jade grips my thigh, hard, making me gasp.
“What were you saying about going to the playroom earlier?” I laugh and bite my lip as she grabs my leg harder, gaining an immediate reaction as my body begins to crave her.
‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣
Jade speaks to someone at the entrance of the stadium before we’re being escorted to her box. I thank the security before going to the window, looking at the whole stadium. Wow, it’s incredible, there’s a full service bar where we can order food, two flat screens on either wall, giving a clear view of the field down below. Jade comes over, slipping a badge over my head before hugging me from behind.
“What is this?”
“I thought the kids would like to meet the team”.
“Thank you for doing all of this for them”.
“Of course, I wanted to spend time with you guys”. Jade kisses my neck and I smile, leaning back into her chest. It’s been a very long time since I’ve felt this happy, if ever. I’m so glad I took a risk and signed those contracts because being with Jade has been life-changing in the best way.
“What’s that look for?”
“I’m happy” Jade moves my head to the side, kissing me deeply, tangling her tongue with mine, making my toes curl.
I can't get enough of this woman, she's so damn addicting. I turn in her arms with every intention of deepening the kiss, despite the blushing bartender. Unfortunately, my phone rings, interrupting my dirty thoughts and intentions. My aunt and uncle let me know they're at the entrance, waiting in line, so Jade and I go to let them through. The security brings them over and Leya jumps into my arms with a wide smile.
"Mommy look! Tio got me a jersey" Leya pulls on her new team jersey to show me. I laugh pulling her shirt down with a nod.
"I see, it's nice, baby. I like it. You look so cute" Leya nods her agreement and I shake my head thanking my aunt and uncle.
"Oh, it's nothing compared to what you two are doing. Box seats? The guys at work will never believe this".
"Security will lead you to the box, there is a full service bar with a menu as well, please get whatever you like, it's all included". My aunt and uncle try to wave her off, surprised about the amount of luxury they've been thrust into.
"Please, I insist" Jade says in a slightly commanding voice, making them startle and I laugh.
"You'll get used to it, just think of it as an all expense paid date". I try to ease their nerves and I know as soon as the game starts, they'll relax. Jade puts the badges around A.J and Leya's neck before we follow security towards the locker room. Paparazzi eat up our appearance, calling for our attention and I can tell A.J is eating it up. He's not shy at all, unlike Leya who hides her face in my shoulder. Thankfully, they get distracted by another famous person and take their eyes off of us.
"That's so cool, is it always like that when you guys go somewhere?"
"No not always, but I'm glad it doesn't bother you".
"Of course it doesn't, my friends are going to be so jealous. Look I even brought my jersey to get signed". A.J beams as we make it outside the locker room and wait for the other players to come out like everyone else with V.I.P. A.J takes videos and pictures and I shake my head. Why does his young ass have a phone anyway? The hell does he need a phone for? Everyone starts cheering as a few players leave the locker room, coming over to greet people and sign autographs. A.J and Leya give the players a high-five and A.J manages to get a few autographs before the security tells everyone the game will be starting soon.
Everyone clears out, but instead of following the crowd, we're led inside the locker room.
"Yo, Jade, it's been a minute".
"Damn, Jade, is that your wife?"
"For real, you got good taste. Hola mami". The guys continue to tease. I shake my head with a laugh as I look at a proud Jade. Is there anyone she doesn't know? She greets a few of the players, introducing us to everyone and keeping her arm securely around my waist. A few guys tease her about it and I start wondering how the hell she knows professional soccer players. I make a mental note to ask her later as I take pictures of Leya and A.J interacting with the players.
"Alright, guys chill, there's kids in the room. What's up, man? That's a nice Jersey you got there, can I see it?" I recognize the guy as one of A.J's favorite players and see A.J is still in shock. The guy laughs and rubs his head, as Leya peeks from my shoulder.
"Oh hi, who's this little princess?" The guy holds out his fist for Leya and she stares for a second before giving him a fist bump.
"I'm Leya, who are you?"
"Hello, Leya, it's nice to meet you, I'm Tomas".
"So, you must be the one who finally turned this hard ass soft. It's nice to meet you, Tomas Barrios".
"Angel Knight, thank you for this, you're one of his favorite players". The guy lasts and goes back to A.J.
"No problem, I have 4 kids of my own, you have a beautiful family Mrs. Knight. So, what do you say A.J, you want that jersey of yours signed?"
"Yes, please" A.J snaps out of his daze, handing Tomas his jersey and going on tangent about soccer. His passion and enthusiasm is infectious and gains attention from a few more players. They start showing A.J some moves and giving him advice and I can tell he's soaking in every word. Leya warms up and wants to be let down, going around giving the guys fist bumps. I record them as Jade rubs my back in silence.
"Thank you for this, Jade. I know it's a day they'll remember forever". Jade kisses the top of my head as I take pictures. A.J gets his team jersey signed by all of the players. He and Leya also get a signed Tomas jersey that the whole team also signs. They even give them each a soccer ball. Soon, the team leaves to go out to the field and we take a buzzing Leya and A.J to the box seats. When we get there Karla, Logan, Taylor and her boyfriend are with my aunt and uncle. The men are drinking beers and the women are eating and talking with glasses of champagne. I knew it wouldn't take long for them to get adapted. The kids run over to show and tell with everyone and I smirk, grabbing Jade's hand.
"We really should take advantage of the free babysitting service right now". Jade laughs, lifting her brow at me as I pull her into the private bathroom as everyone starts cheering.
"You're insatiable today. Have I not been satisfying my wife adequately?" Jade smirks sends a thrill up my spine as she locks the door. We both know the answer, but I respond regardless.
"Of course you have, that's why I can't get enough of you?" Jade stalks towards me, her predatory gaze as my core wet and ready for her. The effect she has on me is ridiculous, but she looks so damn good. And her touch is even better. I pull her by the shirt, kissing her deeply, relishing in the brief moment of control she gives me. I lick her bottom lip, asking for permission to taste her more fully. Jade opens for me, twisting her tongue with mine, moving her hand up to my neck and taking back control. Jade lifts me onto the counter, not wasting any time to slip her hands under my shirt.
"I can't get enough of you either, Kitten. Your taste is divine". Jade kisses my face, cheek, jaw, neck, keeping her attention on adding to the marks that I covered up for the game.
"I want everyone to see that you're mine. That you belong to me" I close my eyes and tilt my head back, giving her better access. I run my hands through her hair, holding it in a tight grip as she bites down harder than I expect.
"Jade!" I gasp as her tongue leaves a wet trail down my neck to my collarbone. Our movements become more frantic as she gives me a fierce kiss and strips off my pants. She slips her fingers in my mouth and I stare into her eyes as I suck on the digit.
"You're so fucking sexy, my lioness". Jade practically growls, slipping her wet finger from my saliva into my core. She slides in easily and we both kiss and moan as she fucks me at a steady rhythm. She pulls me to the edge of the counter, effectively going deeper and I have to bite my lip to stop from crying out in pleasure. So good, every twitch, touch, thrust, tease, bite, kiss, suck, lick, all of Jade consumes me. She tweaks my nipple with one hand, adding another finger, moving them both with a new vigor. I may be insatiable, but she's relentless.
"Fu-fu-fuck...me, shit. Yes, Jade, right there" I gasp as my hips move on their own accord. The pleasure is so damn overwhelming it brings tears to my eyes, I can't take anymore, but I can't get enough either. Jade kisses me and I feel myself getting closer to the edge, all I need is one more little push.
"Look at me" Jade's command is sharp and has my eyes snapping open with a struggle. She flicks her fingers on my spot, earning a gasping high-pitched moan followed by her name.
"Mm, Jade, I'm so close, harder". Jade wordlessly hikes my legs up, diving her fingers and I have to bite my lip to hold my scream.
"Come for me, baby" she kisses me after her command, my screams pouring into her mouth. I gasp and catch my breath as Jade slowly retracts her fingers, rubbing my sensitive clit, making my legs spasm.
I know if we don't leave now, we'll stay in this bathroom for the whole game, so I reluctantly take her hand away. She licks her fingers clean and I shudder before looking away. It's time to go now. We fix ourselves as a knock sounds from the other side of the door.
"Angel, quit being nasty, bitch I got to pee" I hear Taylor exasperate and I laugh, purposefully taking my time.
"Well, maybe you shouldn't drink so much". Jade opens the door and she sighs, pushing her way inside.
"It's nice to know someone is still a decent human being around here" I stick my tongue out and leave the bathroom with Jade. She goes to get us a drink, while I take a seat next to Karla and Logan, who give me a knowing look. I shrug shamelessly and lean back in my seat, trying to pay attention to the game.
I shake off the last bit of my lustful horniness as Jade comes over, handing me a glass of champagne and a charcuterie board. I thank her as the kids start cheering for Tomas sprinting towards the goal. Everyone gets up from their seat as he shoots, the ball soaring into the air, taking a turn that seems to defy physics and land in the upper right corner of the goal.
The crowd erupts at the goal and I notice Tomas do the celebration A.J and Leya asked them to do, before pointing towards the crowd. The kids jump up and down, losing their head over Tomas' recognition and I mentally thank him for making my kids night. I know they'll never forget this day. A.J uses his phone to record and take pictures, likely sending them to his friends, while Leya, now bored with the game, goes back to eating my charcuterie with me. Like-mother, like-daughter. I only ever liked soccer because of Andres and now A.J but between soccer and food, I'll take the food.
I sigh with a content smile, leaning against Jade's shoulder as me and Leya munch away at the cheese and crackers. I never imagined I'd be here, in expensive box seats, with my friends, both of my kids, and a woman that I love and married. If anyone would've told me I'd be here 9 months ago, I'd tell them they've drunk too much.
"You look happy" Jade comments and I nod, my smile never dropping from my face.
"I am happy and grateful. I'm glad that I can experience this, with the people most important to me. The people that I love and it's all thanks to you, so thank you Jade. You've taken my life and turned into a fantasy I never thought could be real".
”"This is real, Angel, in fact, it's..." Jade trails off and I can tell she wants to say something, but she's not. However, after spending time with Jade I've come to understand a bit of her mysterious attitude. Judging from how she's acting right now, I'd say Nate was right after all.
Jade doesn't have to say the words for me to understand. She loves me and if I'm wrong then I'll gladly accept whatever it is she feels for me. As long as I can keep her in my life.
