The day after the family dinner, Alex Rivera felt a quiet but powerful mix of excitement and nervousness. The coach's surprise announcement that he would start the next away game still echoed in his mind. It was a huge step — from bench to starting XI in the first team at just 15 years old. The league table reminder was always there: Galaxy were in 6th place in the Western Conference, just one single point above the playoff cut-off line. The team below them still had a game in hand. They were barely surviving, and Alex knew this starting opportunity could help the team push higher.
He spent the morning in light recovery at the first-team facility, then returned home. The house was quiet. His parents were at work, and Emma was at dance practice. He sat in his room for a while, staring at his phone, thinking about who to tell next.
Sophia.
The married MILF from the charity event had been on his mind constantly. The way she had deliberately shown off her curvaceous body to him, the lingering looks, the flirty messages on WhatsApp after the contract news — she was clearly interested. She thought he was already rich or would be very soon. Alex smiled to himself. He was going to achieve so much more than she could imagine. She was going to be his next play thing, and eventually join Emma in the harem.
He opened WhatsApp and typed a message to Sophia.
Alex: "Hi Sophia, it's Alex. I have some big news from training yesterday. Coach surprised me — I'm starting the next away game. I wanted to tell you personally because you and Mateo have been such big supporters. I'd love to give you a ticket so you can come watch if you're free. Let me know."
He hit send and waited.
Sophia replied almost immediately, her message popping up with a heart emoji.
Sophia: "Alex! That's amazing news! Starting at 15? You must be so excited. Mateo will be over the moon when I tell him. Congratulations! You've worked so hard for this. I'm really proud of you ❤️"
Alex smiled and typed back.
Alex: "Thank you. It means a lot. The team is in sixth place — one point above the playoff line. We're barely surviving, but I want to help us push for the playoffs. Would you and Mateo like to come to the away game? I can get you tickets. I'll give them to you personally if you're free."
There was a short pause. Then Sophia replied.
Sophia: "That's so kind of you. Mateo would love it, but I have to be honest… away games are expensive with travel and hotel. We're not in a position to afford it right now. I'm sorry. I wish we could come and cheer you on."
Alex read the message and felt a surge of opportunity. This was the opening he had been waiting for.
He typed carefully, keeping his tone friendly and generous.
Alex: "Don't worry about the cost. I can take care of the hotel and everything for the weekend. You and Mateo can stay in my hotel room — it's a big suite with separate beds. It would mean a lot to me if you could come and watch me start my first game. Let me know if that works."
Sophia's reply came after a longer pause this time.
Sophia: "Alex… that's very generous. Are you sure? I don't want to impose. Mateo would be thrilled, but I feel bad making you pay for everything."
Alex replied quickly.
Alex: "I'm sure. It would make the weekend even better if you both came. I'll send you the ticket details and hotel info. Just say yes."
Another pause. Then the message appeared.
Sophia: "Okay… yes. Thank you so much. Mateo is going to be so happy. I'll make sure we're there. You're really kind, Alex. I appreciate this more than you know ❤️"
Alex leaned back in his chair, a slow smile spreading across his face. Sophia was coming to the away match. She would stay in his hotel room for the weekend. The seduction had begun.
He immediately sent the ticket and hotel details. Sophia replied with a string of thank-you messages and heart emojis. The conversation turned light and flirty — she asked about his training, how he felt about starting, and complimented him again on his confidence on the pitch. Alex kept the replies polite but warm, planting the seeds for what was to come.
Later that evening, he told Emma everything in a private call.
Emma listened with dark, excited eyes as he described the conversation with Sophia. When he told her he had invited Sophia to stay in his hotel room for the weekend, Emma's voice turned husky.
"You're really doing it," she whispered. "You're bringing her closer. She's going to be your play thing soon. I can't wait to hear every detail when you get back. I love how ambitious you are, Ace."
The plan was in motion.
The next away match was coming. Alex would start for the first time. Sophia would be there in his hotel room. The harem was slowly taking shape.
And the climb continued.
