Chapter 1
Gloria
“Oh, umm, Coach Stone, I’m so sorry to interrupt. I will come back another time,” Aiden Zimmerman, one of the new coaches, says from the doorway. His voice is timid and shaky, like he’s embarrassed to be walking in on us.
“No, Aiden. This is a perfect time. Please come in and have a seat,” my husband encourages him, but keeps me on his lap with an arm across my legs. As soon as he sits, Eric begins by telling him a little back history. “Our team owner, Bryce Whitlock, met Gloria and I years back when we were all fresh out of college at a swingers’ party. Just two years ago, Bryce purchased the team, and the former head coach left. Then I was hired. We didn’t even realize that we had all met before until after my contract was signed and we were at the press conference together. That’s when Gloria recognized him and put all the puzzle pieces of our connected past together. When we talked to Bryce about the shared history, he had this idea for the services that we now have, and my beautiful wife here,” he places a loving kiss on my cheek, “helped bring it to life and grow it into the great perk we offer today. Which brings me to the topic of why I asked you to come in today so we could go over what’s available to you while you are a coach of the San Antonio Xtreme.”
“Okay, can you explain further?” Aiden asks.
“Yes, absolutely. Bryce and I both know the intense pressure coaches at this level have to endure and how important a healthy sexual appetite is to help with the stress. If we offer this to them on a silver platter, literally, if that is your thing,” Eric winks at me, making me laugh. “Yeah, if we offer any and all of their fantasies and kinks at the push of a button, then they are less inclined to try to go out and find it. This greatly lessens the chance of them getting into any sort of trouble and adding more stress to their life by having to play the dating game in order to get their needs met.
“That makes a lot of sense. I am really interested, but I want to make sure that this is all legal. Are you sure it is not considered prostitution? Because in the state of Texas, that’s illegal.”
“Everything is for sure legal. We do not offer any compensation for any of the team members’ services. They all sign a non-compensation and an NDA when they sign their contracts to volunteer for the season.”
“Okay, well…” Aiden pauses and brings his hand up to scratch his chin like he is in deep thought. “I am in my early thirties, yet I’ve never done anything like a swingers party or any sort of kink. But… sexually exploring is something that’s always been in my mind to do. Let me think about if this is a road I truly want to venture down or whether I should just keep it all in my head.”
“We completely understand. You do what is best for you, Aiden. There will be no judgment either way,” I assure him. “We are having our annual season kickoff party at our house this coming Friday night, and if you want to come just to look around and check things out, you are more than welcome to. Also, if you want to learn more details on the who, what, when, and how this all works, Eric will be having a coaches meeting tomorrow night for us to go over that. If you do decide to come to the party, please feel free to just show up at our house and walk on in. The more the merrier.
