Finally we finished the practice match, different drills and cool downs, and it was time to head in, but Cap held Miguel back while he sent the rest of us to shower.

I wanted to linger and talk to Miguel, but Larry pushed me up the stairs saying, “don’t worry Cap won’t hurt your hubby.”

Surrounded by the others laughing, I walked up the stairs while glancing back at the two big men talking seriously.

Stripped and in the shower I was washing off all the mud, when I heard footsteps next to me, they didn’t sound like Miguel.

Damn, guess I can’t be lucky enough to shower next to him all the time.

I cleared my eyes of shampoo and was about to talk to Bob, our big number 8, when Dave grabbed his arm and dragged him over two showers, “don’t go there and interrupt the love birds!”

“Yeah, our cute fairy is probably the only thing keeping our new monstrous second row in our little club.” Said Will way more seriously than I could believe.

“Yeah right.” I said despondently and thought, ‘why would a catch like Miguel be hanging round because of someone like me?’

Just at that moment Cap walked in, followed by Miguel who looked dejected.

Without thinking I put my hand round his huge bicep and asked, “what’s wrong? Did Cap have a go at you?”

My heart started to race as Miguel put his large hand over mine, his eyes down cast he said softly, “I’m sorry Jonathan, Brad pointed out quite rightly that I should never have touched you like that. I took things too far, please forgive me.”

“There is nothing to forgive, I know you didn’t mean anything by it. I mean, it’s not like I have bouncy breasts like a woman or amazingly toned pecks like you. Why would you want to grope me?”

Miguel’s large hands gripped my shoulders and his dark eyes seemed to flash as he pinned me down with his fierce gaze, oh fuck he is too sexy.

“Never say things like that, you can’t let people off for bad behaviour, just because you don’t find yourself as sexy as others do.”

“Haha me sexy? I wish.”

Miguel’s gaze softened, “If you think looking like me is sexy, then come train at my gym with me. I'll teach you how to use the equipment as an apology.”

Yes, one hundred percent yes! I could see Miguel outside of the club... Ah fuck right, “I would love to, but I can’t.”

“Why not?”

I gestured down to my rock-solid lower half, “I don’t go to public changing areas anymore, even this lot almost punched me the first time they saw me hard in the shower with them, and you know how accepting they are. I don’t risk it with a load of strangers anymore, it’s caused too much trouble in the past.”

There was a lot of uncomfortable shuffling and coughing behind me. Glaring at our teammates Miguel growled, “you lot almost attacked Jonathan?”

Cap said, “to be fair to the lads it was rather a shock from someone you’ve just met, and Jonathan didn’t explain. Not to mention, he is terrible at hiding it. But still I wouldn’t say anyone almost hit him, they just got very defensive. Lolly reacted the strongest, he blushed like a schoolgirl when he saw it.”

“What? I’ve never had a guy get hard over me; it would be flattering.” Said Larry with a smile.

Dropping his gaze back down at me with a tender look in his eyes, Miguel said, “you don’t need to worry, there are shower cubicles as well as this old-style open shower room set up. Plus, I’ll be there to back you up.”

I could feel my cheeks heating up, I wanted to be with Miguel and be his to protect.

“Then I would love to train with you. But don’t feel you have to do it to be forgiven, I really don’t mind you touching my chest.”

Miguel’s eyebrows rose into his hair and the men around me made cat calls.

During the noise Miguel asked softly, “does that go for everyone, or just me?”

I definitely blushed this time, as I bravely answered, “just you.”

I’m not sure if I was more stunned or the men around me, when Miguel pulled me roughly forward into his embrace; his naked embrace!

For a long moment there was silence except for the roaring of my heart.

“Um Miguel, you know we are both in the buff, right?” I said in as natural a tone as I could muster.

Pushing me back out with straight arms, in a rush Miguel said, “oh fuck! Sorry, I was just so happy you weren’t angry at me.”

Bob said into the still persisting hush, “that is definitely the love birds’ showers from now on.”

The room erupted into laughter and jokingly threatening to naked hug each other, but I heard very little of it; I was captivated by Miguel’s flushed cheeks as he threw himself into showering.

With shampoo in his hair, Miguel peeked at me, his worry clear in his dark eyes.

I smiled brightly at him, “you plonker, how could you forget we are naked?”

The strain evaporating from his features, Miguel laughed self deprecatingly then said quietly, “I was just so worried you would hate me, I can’t believe I was that horrid to you.”

Dropping my voice low, I replied, “If you did that to anyone else, I would hate you.” My cheeks burned red as I whispered, “But I rather enjoyed it.”

“Thank fuck.” Said Miguel, his relief palpable. When the others looked over he turned back to the shower and whispered sideways to me, “I thought you enjoyed it when I accidently clipped your nipple the first time. Otherwise I never would of done it again.”

Yes! He did it on purpose!

I smiled shyly and got back to showering.

Having cleaned and dried first, I waited for Miguel so we could swap numbers.

The others were clearing out to go to the pub by the time Miguel and Cap left the shower.

Seeing me sat next to his stuff Miguel raised a quizzical brow and I replied, “I wanted to get your number, so we can organise going to the gym... As long as you still want to?”

Cap looked over from the other side of the room when Miguel yelled, “yes!” Lowering his voice he said excitedly, “yes, I would like to go to the gym with you, how about Tuesday?”

In his haste to grab his phone, Miguel dropped his towel.

Without thinking, damn I never seem to think when I’m around Miguel, I bent over and picked it up for him and came face to face with his not entirely soft lower half.

Don’t gulp in the silence he will hear you! Well don’t just stare at it’s glorious girth you perv, lean back up!

Finally tearing my eyes away, I handed back Miguel’s towel and saw a familiar dark look in his eyes.

I slightly trembled, I love feeling like his prey.

His deep voice tickled my ears as he said, “thanks.” To my delight, he took the towel and dumped it on the bench. “This is my number.”

I looked down at the phone, and there behind it was his now slightly harder cock.

Yes, he is a grower!

I took his phone and put his number into mine, then sent him a text.

As his phone vibrated with the message, I passed it back low down, making sure to enjoy the sight of his long thick manhood.

“Now we both have each other’s numbers.”

I swear Miguel’s thumb caressed my hand as he took his phone, my wishful thinking is getting dangerous.

The rest of the evening was passed in a haze, nobody found it strange that us ‘love birds’ sat together, and I got to talk to him again all evening.

I was thrilled that his hand again lingered on my thigh, I had been worried he would stop touching me after the earlier incident.

After as many hours as I could drag the evening out, it was time to say goodbye again.

Damn it, why do we have to live in opposite directions?

Walking with Cap to the tube station, he asked me, “Jonathan, are you really alright with Miguel after today? I know it can be hard to get unwanted attention.”

I patted the big beautiful man on the shoulder, “thanks for your concern, I’m really alright with it. I really like Miguel, so it’s very different from when you get hassled by strangers.”

Cap let out a world-weary sigh, “I still don’t understand why I seem to attract so many dodgy people.”

“It’s coz they can sense your huge cock DD!”

“Oh ha ha, very funny.” I shook my head; I wasn’t entirely joking. And Cap said, “well as long as you’re alright that’s all that matters.”
