A Passion Rekindled by Rontora Nolan Page B

afford a gymnasium for basketball games and the store where Chris’s players work here after school. So they can have some money in their pockets. It’s a way to keep them off the streets.”
    “Every time I think I can’t be impressed by you guys anymore I get a surprise like this. You guys are doing so much for the community.”
    “Yeah. Chris said he offered Devon a job but he said he couldn’t take it.”
    “Devon and I talked about it and with the money I am making he doesn’t need to work. I just want him to concentrate on school and basketball. I want him to enjoy his life.”
    “You are such a great sister. Now stop stalling and let’s get changed. What size shoe do you wear?”
    “Umm I wear a size 11 in women’s.”
    “What?”
    “Yeah what can I say I have big feet?”
    “If it makes you feel better that would only be a size 9 in men’s.”
    “That makes me feel a little better.”
    “So go find some sweats we can change and meet in the gym.”
    “Ok.”
    Scarlett walked away but Christian pulled her back to him.
    “Christian what are you doing?”
    “This.”
    He pulled her to him and kissed her. She pulled him closer to her as he pulled her to an empty room. She looked around and noticed a burgundy loveseat against the wall. He pulled her down to the loveseat. He ran his hands up her neck as he kissed her. She pulled off his jacket and threw it to the floor. Christian pulled away and brushed the strands of hair from her face. Scarlett smiled.
    “I am glad you stopped.”
    “Why?”
    “Christian you know how I feel about this…and us.”
    “Scarlett this doesn’t make any sense we both want to be together.”
    “It’s not that easy for me you know that.”
    “I know.”
    “So where do we go from here?”
    “I don’t know but what I do know is I am going to kiss you again.”
    He pulled her back to him and placed her onto his lap so she straddled him. He kissed her neck and she began to sigh as his hands began to stroke her breast. He kissed a trail back up to her lips and began to caress her legs as she moaned removing her blouse. He kissed a trail down her neck and Scarlett could feel him on under her. He lifted her skirt and gripped her thighs. She threw her head back as he moved her lace panties aside and caressed her center. Scarlett shuttered at his touch. He pulled her lips back to his as he began to stroke her middle with his middle finger. Scarlett moaned into his mouth while he added another finger. Christian pulled his lips away from hers moving his mouth across her breast as he moved faster. Scarlett gripped his shoulders as she was on the cusp of an orgasm. He felt her walls tighten up as she let out a soft moan shaking her body. Scarlett forced herself to pull away from Christian shaking her head as she was still reeling from what happened. They remained silent for a moment as they both ponder what just happened and what was on the verge of happening between them. She turned away from him unable to keep her gaze from his throbbing member.
    “Christian I’m sorry. That shouldn’t have happened.” She paced the floor. “I’m not going to lie I want you so bad right now.”
    He stood turning her towards him.
    “So why stop?”
    “Christian things are still so confusing right now. I am having conflicting feelings here it’s like I want to be with you but I don’t just sleep around. And I certainly don’t go around letting guys I barely know do that to me.”
    “I understand how you feel. It’s me who should be sorry and I am. So let's leave it for now and go get changed.”
    “Ok.” She said biting her lip. She expected more than him just walking away. He turned to her gripping her hand as he walked her to the store. He picked out a pair of sweats for him as she did the same. Adding a pair of socks and a sports bra, she smiled slightly as she grabbed her outfit and walked to the restroom.
    After she was changed she walked onto the court, she found Christian
