around his waist, all he could do was blush.

     "Hell of a play out there tonight, Moore... those bastards never saw it coming!" He said with a hearty laugh as he placed a hand on his shoulder. A clumsy smile formed on Alex's lips upon feeling his hand, though he couldn't show any signs of arousal. He tried hard to suppress the growth attempting to make itself visible against his towel.

     "Y-Yeah, sure was... we put those little pussies in their place, huh??" Alex replied with an enthusiastic roar, which caused the surrounding teammates to shout out in a boom of laughter and cheers. A coy little smirk then formed, as he'd never gotten the team that wild before.

     Alex then looked back toward Coach Grey, and judging from the expression on his face, he seemed both happy that he'd seen more enthusiasm in the "cold soldier" of the field, and at the same time a bit surprised that he'd riled up the team so much. Though those beautiful green hues gave Alex a warm glance as he placed his hand on his bared shoulder again, gripping with a bit of force like he always did.

     "Nice job tonight Moore, you really surprised me. You gonna shower before you head on out, I'm guessin'? You're the only one in a towel."

     Alex stared around, and saw the rest of the team was pretty much ready to leave, despite the sweat, dirt and grass that covered their heads. It was a bit embarrassing being the only one that wanted to shower, but he turned back to his coach with a nod.

     "Yeah I'm gonna shower... won't take long though, so uh.. you won't wait long on me I guess."

     Without even speaking, the coach's eyes and smile said it all, and he turned back and walked down the center aisles of lockers, hollering at the rest of the guys who weren't planning on staying to hurry up. As Alex watched him leave, the arousal he'd been trying so hard to suppress couldn't take much more as he watched that perfect, bubbled-shaped muscled ass of his, its shape so finely outlined by the pair of black mesh sports shorts he wore. That excited bulge against his towel was becoming a bit more visible, but the guys were still around and he couldn't allow them to see that. So yet again, he had to suppress his urges. It was so very frustrating to have something you desire to be so close and in plain sight, yet is still untouchable. Bedtime fantasies could only last for so long before he felt he could literally burst.

     It took a good half hour for the locker room to empty out. Everyone, including Alex, was just so damn thrilled that they'd beaten the school that beat them every year. Tonight, they'd broken a 6 year curse, so of course, they couldn't just pat each other on the back. After a toast of harmless, ice-cold Gatorade, his teammates, packed and fully clothed, finally cleared out of the place until the only thing left was Alex, empty plastic cups, a couple of opened lockers, and the shower room hyst a few feet to his right. His eyes then shifted and noticed the coach was nowhere in sight. He felt like calling out but perhaps he was already busy cleaning up the mess the guys left on the floor. With a shrug,
