Outfielder Tommy Knox is said to "own" pitcher Wayne Kerley because he always hits well when Wayne is on the mound. What the public doesn't know is that the two men have long been involved in a committed, loving relationship. They met and fell in love while playing in the minor leagues, but were called up to the majors and now play for opposing teams.<br><br>Tommy and Wayne have managed to stay together through twelve closeted years. Being on different teams means they have to spend most of the baseball season apart.<br><br>In the final year of his contract, Wayne considers retirement as his career begins to wind down. The thought of life without baseball seems nearly impossible, but he keeps his fears and dread to himself. Tommy still has two years left of his contract, and all the successes, defeats, and injuries that entails. Can the two reconcile their love of each other and the game?

Ownage

“The most beautiful swing ever,” I said when we eased off.


For all our initial restraint, we went a little nuts once naked. Didn’t matter I’d seen him in the shower. This was new and he was mine.


He was insanely ready, climbing up the front of me, humping like a dog until I pushed him onto the bed. I’d carried protection all season just in case the time was right, and finally got it from my pocket, suited up. I then put him on all fours, lubed him, and drove in.


“Hell yes,” he cried before I took off on the ride of my life.


To say we were a good fit is an understatement. His ass was made for me and I couldn’t hold back.


“I’m coming!” Tommy shouted as I went at him.


Seconds later, way too soon, I let go inside him. I kept on pumping until I went soft and slid out. Then I flattened him and lay full length on him.


Between breaths, I said in his ear, “I think I’m in love.”


He laughed, then went quiet. “Me, too,” he finally said, and that was it.
