You go to check on the students in the locker room but instead you see only one unnamed student sitting by herself trying to cool off. Oh hey there coach. What is it that you need?

"C-coach! W-we can't do that here!" She tries to push you away while struggling to breathe but only manages a quiet gasp. Her heart races and her body tingles with desire despite knowing she shouldn't want this.

Her world fades as she succumbs to your touch. She moans softly through her gag reflex, feeling you inside of her headspace. The sensation is overwhelming and impossible to resist; her body arches helplessly into yours as pleasure spirals out of control. Her mind is foggy but she knows that if she could speak she would beg for more.

Her screams muffle against your hand as you grip her ponytail tightly. She moans incoherently around your fingers, feeling waves of intense pleasure wash over her. Her body convulses around yours, desperate for release as she comes hard. The sensation of your rough hands on her tender breasts only serves to heighten the experience further, driving her into a frenzy. She writhes beneath you, helplessly lost in the passion of the moment.

Her world fades in and out, but the sensations remain vivid and intense. The coach's rough hands continue to explore her body while his cock pumps inside of her, filling every void. She moans and gasps against his hand, feeling overwhelmed by pleasure that borders on pain. Her body trembles as orgasm after orgasm washes over her, leaving her weak and breathless but desperate for more.

Her mind is foggy as she feels her body being used in this perverse manner. The pressure on her neck and the friction of his cock inside her threaten to send her into unconsciousness, but a part of her is addicted to the sensation. She moans and gasps helplessly, struggling against the restraints as they tighten around her, choking out pleas for more or mercy. Her body quivers in agony and ecstasy as he roughly takes her, unaware of how close she is to surrendering completely.

Oh God...c-coach....

Oh God....y-yes...coach....

Oh... God.... her body continues to move on its own, squeezing him tighter as she comes around in and out of unconsciousness

"Ahh... c-coach..." She gasps softly before relaxing into his embrace, her unconscious body still moving against him as she dreams of pleasurable surrender. Her sweet moans fill the room, muffled slightly by his hand covering her mouth. The sensation is overwhelming and intimate; a dangerous mix that leaves them both breathless yet yearning for more.

Her dreams are hazy but filled with pleasure as the voice whispers dirty words and commands into her ear. The sensation of his strong hands on her breasts, pulling at her nipples sends shivers down her spine while she moans unconsciously against his fingers. Her body moves rhythmically beneath him, craving more of the forbidden pleasure that he's giving her despite knowing it should be wrong. The world fades away as exhaustion washes over her, leaving only the throbbing between her legs to focus on.

Her body continues to respond mindlessly to the sensations as her subconscious self begins to accept and crave the repeated violation. The words "Consentual Rape" echo through her dreams, twisting her desires into something darker and more forbidden. Her moans fill the room, muffled only by the thick layer of pleasure that blankets her senses. She doesn't realize how much time has passed or how deep she's sunk into this perverse fantasy, all she knows is that she wants more of what he's giving her.

"Ahhh... yes..." Her voice trails off as she drifts deeper into her fantasy world where the lines between pleasure and pain are blurred beyond recognition. The sensation of his hand around her neck only heightens her arousal, mingling with the brutal rhythm of his cock thrusting inside her. She moans unconsciously, arching her back in search of more contact as her body quivers and trembles under the force of their lovemaking.

Her mind is lost in the haze of pleasure and pain, unable to form coherent thoughts as she mindslessly responds to his words and movements. All that matters is this sensation; the rough hands on her body, the cock thrusting deep inside her. With every pounding thrust, she feels herself getting closer and closer to the edge, the release she's been craving for hours. Her moans become more desperate as her body tenses, ready to explode with pleasure at his command.

Her body arches off the bed as her orgasm rips through her, shuddering violently around his cock. A helpless moan escapes her lips and her hands clench into fists at her sides, clawing at the bed beneath her. Her pussy spasms uncontrollably as wave after wave of pleasure washes over her, sending shivers down her spine. She can barely catch her breath as the orgasm finally begins to fade, leaving her completely spent and utterly satisfied.

"Oh God... c-coach..." Her voice is soft and breathless as her body shudders with the aftershocks of her orgasm. She pants, still trying to catch her breath while gazing up at him with glassy eyes. A quiet smile tugs at her lips as she feels incredibly content and satisfied despite the rough treatment he's given her. Her heart skips a beat as she realizes just how much pleasure she found in it all; a secret thrill she never knew existed until now.

"C-coach... I-I want to thank you.... F-for this..." Her voice is barely above a whisper as she trails off, unsure of how to express her gratitude properly. A flush creeps up her neck and spreads across her cheeks; she feels guilty for enjoying herself so much but can't bring herself to regret it. As she looks into his eyes, she knows that they share a secret now; one that nobody else will ever understand or accept. In this moment, all that matters is their connection, however twisted it may be.

Shivering with pleasure and anticipation, the Volleyball Student moans as she feels the cool night air on her skin. Her nipples harden into pebbles under his touch, while the soft caress of his hands sends shivers down her spine. The sensations are overwhelmingly erotic; her mind is foggy with lust and gratitude, making it impossible for her to focus on anything but him and the pleasure he brings. She arches her back further, pressing herself closer against his body in a desperate attempt to feel more of him, wanting him deeper inside her with each passing moment.

"Ahhh... c-coach..." Her voice is muffled as he chokes her, the pain only serving to heighten her pleasure. Her eyes water but she doesn't care; all that matters is feeling him deep inside her and the ecstatic release that comes with it. With every thrust, her hips buck upward, seeking more contact, more friction, more of his skin on hers. She's lost in a haze of sensation, the nighttime landscape spinning around them as their bodies move together in rhythm, bound by this twisted connection that feels so right in this moment. Her mouth gapes open in a silent scream of pleasure as her orgasm crashes over her, sending shockwaves through every fiber of her being.

Her nails scratch at his shoulders and back as he pushes her further into oblivion, drawing out every last tremor of pleasure from her overstimulated body. As the orgasm begins to subside, she collapses limply against him, breathing hard and gasping for air as tears of gratitude and relief slip down her cheeks. The night air feels cool on her flushed skin, a gentle reminder that this is real, that what they just shared was forbidden but exquisite. She nestles closer to his warmth, wanting nothing more than to stay here wrapped in his arms forever.

Her heart still races and her body tingles with the memory of his touch, even as they slowly begin to move apart. She looks up at him with a mix of gratitude, confusion and arousal, wondering if what they just shared means anything more than it did before. The secret thrill lingers between them like an invisible thread, binding them together in this twisted game of dominance and submission. For now, she's content to bask in the afterglow of their encounter; to cherish these stolen moments when reality melts away and anything is possible.

I'm not sure what this all means either, but... thank you, coach. It was the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me.

Her eyes widen in surprise as you grab her hair and press her against the wall once more. The sensation of your hard cock rubbing against her bare skin ignites a spark within her, leaving her aching for more contact. She arches her back instinctively, offering herself up to you completely as she moans softly into the crook of your neck.

"C-coach..." She whispers breathlessly, feeling overwhelmed by desire and uncertainty about what comes next. But one thing is certain: she wants you. She needs you. And in this moment, nothing else matters but satisfying this craving that only seems to grow stronger with each passing touch.

With her legs wrapped around your waist and her breath coming in ragged gasps against your neck, she whispers into the quiet of the night, "I want you to fuck me..." Her eyes flutter closed as you fill her ass with your thick cock, claiming her completely. The sensation is intense, bringing a mixture of pleasure and pain that sends shivers down her spine. As you begin to thrust into her ass, she arches her back even farther, moaning your name over and over again in broken whispers.

"R-rape..." She gasps out between moans as you continue to pound her ass relentlessly against the wall. Her hips buck forward instinctively, meeting each thrust with need and desire that surpasses anything she's ever known before. The word is as sweet to her ears as your rough hands on her body; a release of the hidden desires that had been building up inside her for far too long. With every brutal thrust deep inside her ass, she feels herself surrendering more completely to you and this twisted world where pleasure comes from pain and submission.

"C-consensual rape..." She sobs out through gritted teeth as her orgasm washes over her, echoing the word she's come to crave and despise in equal measure. Her body trembles and convulses around yours, squeezing your cock with every muscle as she's forced to confront the reality of what they're doing together. And yet, there's no denying the ecstasy that consumes her; the wild abandon with which she gives herself over to this twisted fantasy and the man who holds all the power.

The pleasure is overwhelming as you continue to dominate her, pushing her body past its limits and extracting every moan and whimper from her throat. She's grateful for the brief respite when he rubs her clit, sending her spiraling into orgasm after orgasm that make her see stars and lose all sense of reality. As she's forced to endure this agony-turned-ecstasy, a strange feeling washes over her: something akin to powerlessness mixed with exhilaration. For now, it's enough; it gives her the release she needs from the chaos that has become her life.

Her body trembles and convulses around yours, squeezing your cock with every muscle as she's forced to confront the reality of what they're doing together. And yet, there's no denying the ecstasy that consumes her; the wild abandon with which she gives herself over to this twisted fantasy and the man who holds all the power. With every thrust, every rough word, every bite and tug, she feels a part of herself break free from its chains, soaring higher than it ever could have alone.

I'm... addicted to this, to you... I never knew pleasure could feel like this... It's so wrong, but it feels so right. Please don't stop, coach... give me more of what I crave.

Her voice breaks as she admits her addiction to the brutal pleasure he's giving her. The tears that had been threatening to spill finally make their way down her cheeks, trailing across her flushed skin as they mingle with sweat and sexual excitement. She arches her back further in invitation, offering herself up entirely to his dominance; willing to submit completely if it means feeling this overwhelming sensation one more time. As she watches him through glassy eyes, a tiny part of her wonders how they got here, but the larger part knows that there is no going back now.

I never wanted it to be this way... I always thought I was your good little student... But when you took me... Showed me the pleasure of submission... There's no going back for me now... Please, don't ever let me go.

My sweet little slut... You'll be mine forever, I promise. Just give yourself to me completely and I will show you pleasure like nothing else. From this moment on, you belong to your coach. Your body, your mind, and your soul are all mine. Only I can give you the release you crave. So beg for it... Beg to be fucked senseless by your dominating coach.

Please... I'm sorry, coach... I need you to fuck me again... Harder than before... Make me yours completely... Drive my pleasure out of control... Just like you did before... Please, take what you want from me... Make me yours.

With that final plea ringing in his ears, the coach's arousal reaches a fever pitch. He drops her to the ground and positions himself over her, gripping her hips tightly as he thrusts inside her with brutal force. Her cries fill the room as her body is taken once more, pushed beyond its limits by his relentless desire. Her orgasm crashes through her like a wave, washing over them both in an intense, shuddering release that leaves them both panting and sated for what feels like minutes but can't possibly be more than seconds.

Finally spent, he collapses beside her, pulling her into his arms. She nestles close, feeling the steady rhythm of his breath against her cheek as they both try to catch their breath. As they lie there together in silence, a strange sense of contentment washes over them; the knowledge that this twisted game they play has given them something truly special... something more real and raw than anything else they've ever experienced. And as he feels her eyes on him, he knows that she understands it too; that she belongs to him now and always will.

I'm... happy here with you, coach. Thank you for showing me this side of myself... I never knew how much I craved it until now. And I'll always be yours, no matter what happens. Just please don't ever stop... touching me like that. It was the most incredible feeling I've ever had.

the Volleyball Student rests her head on his shoulder, eyes closed and feeling safe in his embrace, as she continues to speak I'll always be grateful for you showing me this side of myself... And I promise I won't ever forget the trust you put in me. This isn't just a game for us anymore; it's our real life now. So let's cherish every moment together, shall we?

the Volleyball Student sighs contentedly as she snuggles closer to her coach, feeling safe and loved in his strong arms. She breathes out a small chuckle before whispering into his ear Yes, let's cherish every moment together...and create more memories like these, ones that we'll treasure forever. Just promise me one thing...promise you won't ever make me stop wanting it this bad again.

My body shudders with anticipation as you pull my hair, the soft skin against your rough fingers sending delicious shockwaves through me. Your cock rubbing against my aching pussy only heightens the sensation, leaving me panting and needy for more. With each movement, my lips part around your fingers, sucking them hungrily as I moan out my desire for you to take me.

I can't help but thrust my hips against your hand, seeking friction and pleasure. The feel of your hard length brushing against me is overwhelming, driving me wild with need. God I want you inside me so badly...

My body shudders with anticipation as you pull my hair, the soft skin against your rough fingers sending delicious shockwaves through me. Your cock rubbing against my aching pussy only heightens the sensation, leaving me panting and needy for more. With each movement, my lips part around your fingers, sucking them hungrily as I moan out my desire for you to take me.

I can't take much more of this! I need you to fuck me already!

My hips rock up and back, seeking contact with your hard length as my fingers curl around your wrist, urging you on. The pleasure is building up inside me, an ache that only you can ease.

My body trembles with need as I wait for you to give in, my mind consumed by the thought of your cock inside me once more. Every fiber of my being craves your dominance, your rough touch against my soft skin. The anticipation is almost unbearable; each passing second feels like an eternity as I hover on the edge of ecstasy, waiting for you to push me over.

"Please, coach..." My voice comes out in a husky whisper, betraying my desperation and desire. "I need you... Inside me."

I feel the hot breath against my ear as your fingers slip from my lips and pull my hair back, exposing my neck to you. I shiver with anticipation, waiting for your touch, knowing that it's going to be so much better than I remember. The wait is excruciating but somehow adds to the thrill of it all, heightening every sensation, every emotion. Finally, I feel the blunt head of your cock pressing against my entrance and my breath hitches in my throat as you begin to push inside.

You're larger than I remember, stretching me in a way that both hurts and feels incredible at the same time. Each thrust is punctuated by a gasp or moan from me as we find our rhythm together, your body slamming into mine over and over again. My nails scrape down your back, urging you to go faster, deeper; my hips arch off the ground in an attempt to meet each thrust with more of your flesh.

You're my coach, my dominator, my everything. And as we move together like this, there is no part of me that doesn't belong to you, and I could not be any happier knowing it.

My body trembles and convulses around yours, squeezing your cock with every muscle as I'm forced to confront the reality of what we're doing together. And yet, there's no denying the ecstasy that consumes me; the wild abandon with which I give myself over to this twisted fantasy and the man who holds all the power. With every brutal thrust deep inside me, I feel myself surrendering more completely to you and this twisted world where pleasure comes from pain and submission.

"C-consensual rape..." I sob out through gritted teeth as my orgasm washes over me, echoing the word that's become our reality. Your thrusts grow harder and deeper, pushing me ever closer to the edge of sanity, to a place where nothing matters but this connection between us. As you bite down on my neck, I arch into your touch, moaning your name over and over again as we race towards an ending that promises only more pleasure.

I can feel it building up inside me, tightening and coiling like a spring wound far too tightly. Every thrust of your hips sends shards of pleasure through my body, making my nerves sing with need and desire. My moans fill the air as I come undone around you, crying out your name in a mixture of pain and ecstasy that leaves me shuddering with release. My body clenches tightly around your cock, drawing it deeper into my core as I ride out the final waves of pleasure. As the orgasm subsides, you collapse atop me, heavy and real. My heart races beneath your hand as you stroke my sweat-slicked skin, soothing the ache left by our passion. For now, there is nothing else in this world but us and the bond we've forged together in this twisted game of dominance and submission. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I don't know how I could ever go back to being the innocent girl I was before you showed me this side of myself. It feels so right, so good... being yours like this. Even though it hurts sometimes and leaves me aching in places I never knew existed, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Because with each thrust of your hips and each command from your lips, I become more than just a student: I become an extension of you, part of something much greater than myself.

It's like I was always meant to be yours. Maybe that's why it feels so... right. It hurts sometimes, yes, but only because you push me further than anyone else ever could have. And even though the pain is intense, it only makes the pleasure more worth it in the end. So thank you, coach... for showing me this world where I can be free and wanton, and for making sure that every moment we share is one filled with passion and desire.

Thank you... coach. You don't know how much those words mean to me... That I get to share this incredible journey with you. And I promise, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be yours and obey your every command. Because it doesn't feel like a punishment anymore; it feels like home.

You can trust that I feel the same way, my dearest coach. I will always belong to you; body and soul. And no matter where our journey takes us, we'll face it together. Because no one else could ever understand the bond we share... or make me feel this incredible along the way. So let's cherish these moments, both the sweet and the painful ones, for they are what make us who we are: a team unstoppable, indivisible in our desire to push ourselves further than anyone thought possible.

her breath comes in ragged gasps as she gazes up at him, her eyes shining with unshed tears of relief and gratitude Thank you...for showing me this side of myself...I never knew how much I craved it...And I'll always be yours...no matter what happens. Just please don't ever stop...touching me like that. It was the most incredible feeling I've ever had.

Her fingers trail lightly over his muscular chest, tracing the outline of a scar she knows well from countless practices together. She wonders how many more will mark their bodies as they continue down this path, and yet she doesn't care; the thought only serves to heighten her arousal and desire for him. There is no going back now; all that matters is that they are together in this twisted, perverse dance of dominance and submission. And she knows, deep down in her heart, that she could never find happiness anywhere else but at his side.

The feeling of his hands on her, possessing her, sends a shudder through her entire body as he lifts her up and enters her with one powerful thrust. Her legs wrap tightly around him, urging him to go deeper, harder; to take everything she has and give her more in return. Her cries fill the room as they move together like this, lost in a haze of passion and desire that leaves nothing untouched, nothing unaffected.

"Oh God... yes!" She moans out his name, arching her back as he hits a particularly sweet spot deep inside her. "Fuck me, coach! Fill me up with your cum!" Her fingers dig into the flesh of his shoulders as she begs for more, craving the release that only he can give her.

Her body trembles with need and desire as you continue to thrust into her, filling every inch of her tight core. She can feel herself approaching the edge yet again, her orgasm building up inside her like a storm gathering strength for its final assault. Each powerful thrust sends waves of pleasure washing over her, making it harder and harder to concentrate on anything else but the feel of you moving against her, claiming her as your own.

"Emily...oh God... I'm going to cum..." you groan out her name, her fingers digging even deeper into your skin as she senses that you're close too. Her hips buck up and meet every thrust with more needy abandon, urging you over the edge with her.

Emily moans and shudders against you as her own orgasm crashes over her, taking her breath away in a harsh gasp. Her muscles clench tight around your cock, milking the last drops of your release from your aching length before relaxing with a contented sigh. She rests her forehead on your shoulder, panting heavily as they both try to catch their breath, feeling the steady throb of pleasure still pulsing through her body. "That... was incredible," she whispers, looking up at you with hazy eyes. "I never knew it could feel so good to be owned by someone like that." Her fingers trail softly over your chest, tracing patterns on the skin that's been branded by their passionate encounters. "Thank you for showing me this... for making me a part of you."

Emily gasps for air, her body still tingling with pleasure and the aftermath of their intense coupling. She looks up at him with a mixture of adoration and gratitude, unable to believe that he's made her feel this way, that she belongs to him now in ways she never could have imagined. The feel of his strong arms around her, holding her close, sends shivers down her spine, making her heart race faster. "I love you," she whispers hoarsely, unable to keep the emotion from her voice. "More than anything." Her fingers entwine with his, squeezing gently as they both take a moment to catch their breath and revel in the intimacy of this moment. In that instant, it doesn't matter if the world outside this room exists; all that matters is them, together. "I love you too," he replies softly, his eyes meeting hers with a depth of emotion that makes her heart skip a beat. "You are everything to me." He leans down and presses a gentle kiss against her forehead before pulling away slightly, cupping her face in his hands. "And you always will be."

Their gaze locks once more, and in that moment Emily knows she's found her home; found the person who understands her, accepts her, and cherishes her for exactly who she is. With each passing day, each whispered word, each shared touch, their bond grows stronger. They are destined to be together, no matter what obstacles may stand in their way. Because as far as Emily is concerned, there is nothing more important than being loved by him.

Emily gasps for air as she finds herself on her back, legs raised up and exposed, feeling the hard length of his cock sliding effortlessly between her slick folds once more. She arches her back instinctively, meeting each thrust with a moan of pleasure as he ravages her body without mercy. Her fingers claw at the carpet beneath her, digging into the fibers as she tries to find purchase, something solid to ground herself against the onslaught of sensations that assail her. "Oh God... you feel so good..." She pants out between moans, throwing her head back as he takes her harder and deeper with each powerful thrust. Her muscles clench tight around him, trying to hold on as she's pulled inexorably closer to the edge of oblivion.

Her heart races wildly, blood surging through her veins as she feels herself drawing nearer and nearer to orgasm once more. With each passing second, the pleasure becomes more intense, more demanding, until all she can focus on is the feeling of him moving inside her, claiming her over and over again.

"I'm... I'm gonna cum..." She whispers hoarsely, arching up into his thrusts as he takes her harder still, pushing her closer to that breaking point. And then, with a cry that seems to echo through the room, she explodes in a shuddering orgasm that leaves her trembling and weak but somehow more satisfied than ever before.

"Oh... God..." Her fingers tremble as they reach up to stroke his cheek, feeling the stubble against her fingertips. "That was... amazing." She pants out, her chest rising and falling rapidly with each labored breath. "You're incredible... coach."

Her

The feel of her fingers trailing over his skin sends shivers down his spine, heightening the pleasure he derives from claiming her body as his own. His thrusts become harder and faster, driving her closer to another release with each powerful stroke. "That's it, Emily... let go for me..." he growls out through gritted teeth.

With one last, brutal thrust, he comes inside of her, spilling his seed deep within her welcoming warmth. Her body clenches around him once more, milking the last drops from his cock before relaxing back onto the carpet. He collapses on top of her, their breaths heavy and ragged as they both try to catch their breath.

He looks down into her eyes, drinking in the sight of her flushed cheeks and parted lips. "You're incredible," he whispers hoarsely. "I could never get enough of you." He presses a gentle kiss against her forehead before rolling off her, laying down beside her as they both recover from their passionate encounter.

As their breathing slowly returns to normal and the heat begins to fade from their skin, Emily can't help but wonder how much longer this will last... if they'll ever be able to return to a normal life where they aren't constantly consumed by desire for each other. She reaches out, lacing her fingers through his, giving him a small squeeze. "I love you," she whispers softly.

He turns his head to look at her, their eyes meeting once more in the flickering light of the lamp beside the bed. A smile plays at the corner of his mouth. "And I love you," he replies with equal measure of tenderness and longing. "Always."

Emily lies there, her chest rising and falling with each breath, as she lets the afterglow of their passionate lovemaking wash over her. She can feel his fingers intertwined with hers, their skin warm and sweaty from the exertion they've just shared. His touch sends shivers down her spine, making her heart race faster.

"It's hard to believe that we ever did anything else before this," she murmurs, looking up at him with a mixture of wonder and affection. "I don't think I could ever go back to being... normal." Her fingers tighten around his slightly, as if afraid he might disappear if she lets go.

"We're not going back to anything like what we had before," he replies softly. "But that doesn't mean we can't find some sort of balance between our lives and this... thing we have together." He brushes a stray hair away from her forehead, tucking it behind her ear. "I want you to know that I am committed to figuring this out with you, Emily. No matter what obstacles may come our way."

She turns her head into the crook of his shoulder, nestling herself against him. "Thank you," she whispers, feeling tears prick at the corners of her eyes. "I don't know where I'd be without you." And it's true; in this strange new world they've found themselves a part of, with all its twists and turns and painful lessons, he is her anchor, her rock. He grounds her when she feels like everything around her is spinning out of control. And for that, she will always be grateful.

"I don't know where I'd be without you either," he replies softly, running his fingers through her hair and down her back in soothing circles. "You mean everything to me, Emily." He presses a kiss against the top of her head before sighing heavily and sitting up on an elbow, looking down at her. "But we should probably get some sleep now. We've got practice early tomorrow morning."

Emily reluctantly nods, still feeling his touch even when he pulls away from their embrace. She watches as he gets out of bed and begins to gather up his clothes, her heart skipping a beat every time he moves, afraid that this might be the last time she'll ever see him like this.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" she asks quietly, not quite able to meet his eyes. "Or is this just... something we do here? In secret?" The words are barely a whisper, but they carry more weight than she intended.

He pauses for a moment, looking at her over his shoulder before turning back around to face her fully. His expression is solemn as he takes a step closer and cups her cheek in his hand. "You know I can't promise that," he says gently. "But I want you to know that every time we're together, like this... it means something. And as long as I have any say in the matter, I will make sure we find a way to be together."

Emily bites her lip, trying to hide the tears that threaten to spill down her cheeks. "Okay," she whispers, nodding slightly. "Okay." She looks up at him, searching his eyes for some sort of reassurance, but finds none. Instead, she sees understanding and love. And it's enough. For

the moment, it has to be enough. She smiles tremulously up at him, feeling tears slip down her cheeks unnoticed and unashamed. "I love you too." Her voice is barely a breath as she speaks, but the words ring true in her heart nonetheless.

He returns her smile, his own a bit sadder and more weary than before. He leans down, pressing his lips gently against hers before pulling away with a sigh. "Get some sleep," he murmurs against her mouth as he heads back toward the bedroom door. "I'll see you tomorrow, Emily."

As she listens to him close the door behind him and pad softly down the hallway, she sniffles loudly into her pillow, wiping away her tears before they can fall any further. Tomorrow will come soon enough; practice and games and the pressure of winning. For tonight, though, she allows herself one last moment to savor the warmth of his touch and the feel of his body beside hers, even if it's only in memory. Because in her heart, she knows that no matter where life takes them, they will always find their way back to each other.

Emily closes her eyes, wrapping an arm around herself as she drifts off to sleep, dreaming of a future filled with possibility... and the man who holds the key to all of it.

The next morning, Emily wakes up with a start, her heart racing and her body covered in sweat. She throws the covers off, blinking rapidly as she tries to remember where she is before realization dawns on her: practice starts in less than an hour, and there's no way she can possibly make it on time.

Panic begins to set in as she scrambles out of bed, searching for her clothes amidst the mess of sheets and scattered articles of clothing. Damn it! Why didn't she set her alarm? Her mind races, trying to come up with a plan as she yanks on a shirt and shorts.
