Team Manager CHAMP!
Chapter 14
MAKING LOVE to another woman wasn’t a new experience for Ardith. She had a girlfriend in college she lived with. They’d started as dorm roommates when they were freshmen. Sometime during their junior year, she and Rebecca met George and they became a threesome. They all lived together. They all slept together. They all made love together.
But when they graduated from college, Rebecca got George and Ardith got a job at Bartley. She was now godmother to their two children.
Nonetheless, she was still willing to start a relationship with not just one other woman and a man, but with four women and a man. And it all started here in this hotel room as she faced Brenda, unsure of what to do after all this time chaste.
Brenda, however, had not spent the past four years chaste. She sat on the edge of the bed where they’d made out the night before and motioned Ardith to sit beside her.
“Do you remember when we threw Carol off the team for bullying Dennis?” Brenda asked.
“Yes. It was the first time I saw Dennis in the locker room and I was about to throw a fit until you all came to his defense. You weren’t all dressed. And you were sitting on the floor holding him,” Ardith said.
“Yeah. It wasn’t long after that when I decided to start taking him home after practice, but I kept making detours out to a parking place in the country that all the kids knew about. They tore that old barn down this summer after Donnie got beat up there.”
“So, you started taking Dennis out parking? I was sure Natalie was his first.”
“She was in most things. She’s definitely girlfriend number one, but there isn’t much difference among the four of us now. I didn’t go all the way with him, but… Well, I told myself I was just being a big sister to him or maybe I was mothering him. We’d sit in the back seat… Here, let’s get up on the bed and lean against the pillows and I’ll show you.”
They scooted around until Brenda was on Ardith’s left as they leaned against the pillows. Brenda pulled her around so Ardith was leaning back in her arms.
“So, we’d get in the back seat and I’d hold him like this and we’d just talk about all he was experiencing. The girls really did get into teasing him, but it was all in fun and he enjoyed seeing what they displayed. They kept getting bolder and bolder and before long, they were—I mean we were—running around in the locker room completely naked in front of him.”
“I think I stopped coming into the locker room before that happened. It was better not to know exactly what was happening as long as no one was being hurt or abused.”
“Yeah. But he did get really turned on by what he saw. And then when I held him like this… Well, his head and mouth were kind of conveniently positioned, like yours is now. I didn’t object when his lips found my nipple through my T-shirt.”
Ardith got the message loud and clear. Brenda was wearing a baggy T-shirt as sleepwear and Ardith could feel that her abundant breasts were unfettered. The hard nipple was right against her cheek, just at the corner of her mouth. Ardith felt delightfully naughty as she turned her head slightly and began to knead Brenda’s nipple with her lips. Brenda moaned.
“You didn’t wear a bra when you took him home?” Ardith asked as she continued to nibble on the hard point.
“Not after the first time. And somehow, after the second or third time, my shirt got sort of pushed up a little and there was just nothing stopping him from having his fill.” Brenda pushed her shirt up above her breasts and Ardith tongued her nipple. She automatically brought a hand up to caress the other breast while she nursed.
“Is this what you did?” she asked.
“Yeah. Just like that. He put his hand on me just like you did and started squeezing and playing with my boobs. Like that. Yes.” Brenda paused with her eyes closed, letting Ardith gently caress her breasts as she sucked.
“He was satisfied with just playing with your breasts?”
“Mmm. You know Dennis. He would never have thought to ask for anything more than that. I couldn’t help but notice, though, that he got really hard. I figured it must be painful and I was really enjoying having him suck on me and nibble like you’re doing. I think I came from him just playing with my breasts, and I didn’t feel like I could leave him hanging. So, I just let my hand slip down his front and when I touched him, he came. Kind of like I’m touching you, now.”
It was Ardith’s turn to moan as Brenda’s hand found the damp crotch of her pajamas. It wouldn’t take much.
“Remember, this all took several weeks—months. And I managed to unfasten his jeans and get my hand inside where it would do the most good.” She slid her hand under the waistband of Ardith’s pajamas and found the hot wet center of her sex. Ardith gasped and let her legs spread farther apart. Brenda took full advantage of her exposed sex and rubbed the clit, sliding her finger into Ardith’s pussy. “Did you know Dennis has an eight-inch dick?” She whispered.
Ardith stiffened and whined an orgasm—the first she’d had at another’s hand in four years. She automatically bit down on Brenda’s nipple and the younger woman gasped out her own orgasm.
“Brenda, I love you and I’m going to love being one of your lovers,” Ardith said as she moved around to lie next to Brenda.
She felt along Brenda’s leg until she discovered she was wearing no underwear, and then Ardith set to returning all Brenda’s attention as they kissed and fingered each other. In a few minutes, both women were completely naked and clasped in each other’s arms. They continued their explorations with fingers until both had come several more times. Then they collapsed together and went to sleep.
“It’s good to see you again, Bill,” Ardith said when she met with the athletic director of William Salter University Monday morning. “This is the recruit I mentioned, Brenda Grant.”
“Ardith. I’m glad we are here this morning. Brenda, I took the liberty of looking up your stats. Very impressive. Are you sure you want to leave a winning team at DMACC to join what we hope to get started here at WSU?” Bill Blake asked.
“Thank you, sir. If this is where Coach Graves is, this is where I want to be,” Brenda said.
“Well, as soon as we get the papers signed here, we’ll walk over to HR and the Registrar’s office and get you set up in time for this afternoon’s practice. Your offer package includes a full athletic scholarship. We’re glad to have you here as a Crusader.”
The signing of the papers and getting Ardith to HR for her briefing and Brenda to the Registrar’s office took the rest of the morning. When they met for lunch, Brenda and Ardith both had new IDs and class schedules.
“Okay, you can text the crew that we won’t be back until the weekend,” Ardith said. “But you can’t tell them I’ve taken a job here. That news has to come from the principal’s office. I need to call Neil and Ms. Morris and confirm my resignation.”
Brenda was dying to talk to her girlfriends and boyfriend, but they were all in school and would have their phones off per school regulations. They wouldn’t really be able to talk until after practice. She also had to call Coach Dearborn, though. She wouldn’t be back to play Wednesday’s game.
“I had a feeling you’d be recruited over the break. We might get a couple of new players who are joining mid-year. We’re losing Regan Smith, too. You know you saw some of that last year,” Dearborn said.
“I never expected I’d be a mid-year recruit,” Brenda laughed.
“Is your boyfriend staying here?”
“We haven’t talked yet. There’s some tricky timing going on. He intends to finish out his AA there, though, so there should be no change in his spring classes.”
“Well, I wish you the best. Your ID will get you in to the locker room this weekend. I’m sure you have some things you want to clear out. Good luck, Brenda!”
“Thank you, sir. Good luck with the rest of the season.”
“They’re going to be gone all week!” Amy whispered when she met everyone in the locker room. “I tried to call, but Brenda’s phone went to voicemail. What is going on?”
“I don’t know. But have faith. You know we told her to do whatever Ardith needed. But if they’re gone all week, that means Dennis will be coaching all week. Wow! This will be interesting,” Natalie said. She wanted to get a minute alone with Dennis, but he was already on the court getting ready for conditioning.
They might not get a chance to talk until after practice.
Even that was optimistic. The boys’ practice let out before the girls and Coach Neil watched the last of their scrimmage. He called Dennis to him and the two disappeared into coaches’ office.
“Do you know what’s happening, Dennis?” Neil asked.
“Um… No, sir. About what?” Dennis asked.
“I thought she might have confided in you. Well, we’re in a little bit of a bind. Coach Graves has resigned. She won’t be back this year.”
“What? No! How could she? We’ve got a perfect season going!”
“I’m afraid it’s going to be up to you to keep it going. Dennis, they’ve called on an old woman who used to teach Latin to substitute until the end of the term. What happens then remains to be seen. You don’t happen to know Latin, do you? I didn’t think so. Anyway, all the qualified coaches are assigned. And frankly, we don’t have anyone qualified to take over girls’ basketball. You know Pat and Renée are doing their best to get up to speed, but neither is ready to take over this team. They know you and trust you. If they’re going to have a chance of finishing out this season on top, you’re it.”
“Sir… That’s… I mean… I’m just a kid!”
“Don’t give me that at this stage. You’ve been functioning as student assistant coach for a year now. It isn’t an honorary title. I have to get a woman to help out as your assistant and have no idea who yet. But just like we needed a woman present with the girls on the wrestling team, there has to be one for girls’ basketball. By the way, your suggestion to ask Elsa Brown to help with girls’ wrestling was great. Lyle is pleased and the girls on the team all love her.”
“I’m glad to know that. Um… I wonder if one of Lyle’s… um… women would be interested. They’re pretty savvy about sports and have a great relationship with their girls and others on the team,” Dennis said. He was processing what Neil said as rapidly as he could. He was going to be the coach! So that was where Ardith and Brenda were. He could well imagine that she needed moral support. He couldn’t wait to see them when they got back.
“You’re thinking like the coach already. I’ll function at the games to introduce you to the officials so there is no question on the floor. After the first couple of games, people will be used to seeing you there,” Neil said.
“You don’t seem to be that thrown by Coach Ardith leaving,” Dennis said. “I’d be crazy in your position.”
“We talked. Almost every day during the break. She got an opportunity that was simply too good to pass up. I think you’ll benefit from it, too, but that will be between you and her. She’s taken a coaching position at a Division III school that’s on your list. Details tomorrow in the announcements.”
Dennis left the office in a daze. Natalie, Lana, and Amy were waiting for him.
“We got text messages from Brenda. They’re going to be gone all week!” Natalie said. “Did she send you anything?”
Dennis checked his phone and turned it on. The only thing he had was the text that Brenda had sent all four of them.
“Um… We need to get out of the school and someplace private,” Dennis said. “It’s big.”
“Dennis! What?”
“Not in the school. Come on. Let’s go out to Lana’s house.”
“My house?”
“It’s far enough away that we can talk.”
They all piled into Dennis’s car to go out to Lana’s, but he stayed tight-lipped through the drive.
“I don’t know everything,” Dennis said when they’d reached Lana’s room with a quick explanation to her mother that they needed a private conference. “I guess there will be a big announcement tomorrow morning in school. Ardith resigned from Bartley High to take a coaching position at a Division III school that is on our list. Coach Neil wouldn’t be more specific than that—just that it was an opportunity too good to pass up.”
“She left us?” Natalie cried.
“The way I read it is she went before us,” Dennis said. “Look. Brenda said ‘they’ weren’t coming back until the weekend. I think Brenda has joined her at the new school. Otherwise, she’d be back for Wednesday’s DMACC game.”
“What about our team?” Amy asked.
“Um… I guess you’re stuck with me.”
“What? They’re just going to let you take over? But you’re a student!” Lana said.
“Yeah. Weird, isn’t it? I can’t even fathom what is going on. We have to get a woman to attend practice and such because a girls’ team has to have a woman chaperone to keep things straight. Like Fru Elsa is for the wrestling team. I suggested maybe Josie Kelly would do it. Coach Neil said that it was up to me to call her,” Dennis said.
“Coach Dennis,” Natalie said, grinning. “You really are the coach. We need to call everybody and let them know.”
“No! Um… I kind of broke the agreement by letting you all know, but I think Coach Neil expected that. But we can’t say anything else to anyone until after the school has made the official announcements tomorrow. Nobody. Understand?”
“Yeah. That makes sense,” Lana said. “Everything has to follow official channels. I’m sure Ardith and Brenda both had restrictions placed on them as well. This is worse than waiting for Christmas to open packages we gave to someone.”
“You know what this means, though?” Natalie said. “Ardith and Brenda have chosen where we’re going to school next year.”
“Wow. That’s right,” Amy said. “But you gave Ardith the list of the schools that were acceptable and it was organized by preference. She said she’d try to get you recruited by the best. Now she’s in charge of recruiting!”
“I think we need to come clean, then,” Lana said, looking at Amy. Amy nodded. “We’re going with you.”
“What? You can’t just drop out of school!” Dennis said.
“Nope. We’re going to graduate,” Amy said. “We talked to the school guidance counselor last spring and she said it was possible if we doubled up some of our classes and took online classes from DMACC. We have just one semester to finish and we’ll graduate with your class.”
“That’s… Wow! Does Ardith know?”
“Not yet. But if she’s going to recruit you and Natalie, we want to be included. We have acceptances from the top three that are on the list already,” Lana said.
“Your parents know?” Dennis asked, holding his breath.
“My parents have made a ton of things work for me. They had to be involved in signing the papers for my enrollment and graduation. Gransy is officially Amy’s guardian and she knows it all as well. Only problem is that we’ll still be seventeen when we go off to college, so there are some restrictions that will apply. I’m not sure what they are yet. We were just warned,” Lana said.
“You two are amazing!” Natalie said. “I love you so much! We won’t have to be separated this fall.” She and Dennis immediately began kissing their girlfriends and then switched girlfriends to kiss the other.
“Kids! Dinner! You can all stay here to eat tonight,” Fru Elsa called upstairs. The four put their clothes together and went down to have dinner with the family.
“Ladies, I want to introduce you to a couple of new people,” Bill said as the women gathered for practice. “You’ve had a tough time this fall and have shown that you can overcome a lot by still winning some games. We haven’t been idle since we lost Coach Amber. I want to introduce you all to Coach Ardith Graves who just signed her contract to start coaching the Crusaders as of today.”
“No way! You totally had us yesterday. We thought you were a transfer in!” said one of the girls they’d played with the day before. “Welcome, Coach Graves!”
“Thanks,” Ardith said. “Really, we just came over to shoot some hoops and stumbled on you guys. I didn’t mean to deceive you all.”
“And I’m sure you played yesterday with Brenda Grant,” Bill continued, pointing to Brenda. “She is a transfer in and is Coach Graves’ first recruit. She’s joining us from DMACC and if you get a chance, you should look at her stats. I’ll leave you to their tender mercies.” Bill backed off and left the team to Ardith for the rest of practice. The team welcomed Brenda and turned their attention to Ardith.
“Okay. It’s going to take me a day or two to get to know you, so when I point at you, sing out your name and number. I’ve looked at the recordings of your games so far this season and what I saw, I liked. You’re showing real grit to have hit the boards with no coaching and do what you do. I want to get right into working on your three-two zone defense, so let’s get warmed up and start sweating. We’re going up against the Beavers on Wednesday, and we’re going to start a new tradition of winning!” Ardith said.
She pulled out her clipboard where she’d written the lineups she wanted to start with and got them working. As they worked, she’d blow her whistle and give tips or make substitutions. She worked as much on the offense as the defense, but did it subtly under pretense of working on defense. And she didn’t let up.
“Let’s look at your fast break,” she called to the offense. “Don’t stand back here waiting for them to pick you up. Drive and pass. Go, go, go!”
Brenda blended in well with the rest of the team and took her rotations in stride. The women were surprised when she snagged a rebound and learned to depend on her to set the plays. They were sweating and ready for the showers by the time Ardith blew her whistle and brought them in.
“I’ve got a philosophy and you’ll hear me ask for it often. We’re here to win. The way we win is to run, run, run. If you aren’t ready to run for forty minutes, start getting in shape. Now let me hear it. What are we going to do?”
“Win!” the women shouted.
“How are we going to do it?”
“Run, run, run!”
“Hit the showers and somebody show Brenda and me where to get meals around here.”
The team was ready for the showers.
“You’ve worked with Coach Graves before, right?” Payton asked. She was the tallest of the women and topped out at six-two. “Does she always work us so hard?”
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Brenda laughed. “Back in high school, my boyfriend led an hour of conditioning exercises and drills before we ever got to practice. He’s still running the conditioning and is taking over as coach for Ardith for the rest of the season. He’ll be here in the fall.”
“Ooh. A boyfriend? I guess you don’t go for girls then,” Jillian said. She was pretty cute and if Brenda was in the market she would be tempted.
“Oh, I’ve got three… um… four girlfriends, too. We share him. And each other.”
“He can handle five girls? Must be some stud.”
“He is.”
“Well, if you get lonely, I’d give a girl a helping hand,” Jillian joked.
“Honey, if I had any energy left after my five, I’d consider you a top choice,” Brenda laughed. “But I’m pretty committed and don’t want to screw anything up with my babes. They’re all planning to be here soon.”
“Hey, let’s hit the Roadhouse for dinner tonight,” Gloria said. “I could dig some ribs.”
“Sounds good,” the team agreed.
Ardith met them outside the locker room and they divided into cars to go to dinner.
