playin it cool - paige bueckers x reader!
s: your best friend drags you out to a dallas club for a much needed girlsโ night, but the last thing you expect is to spend it making eyes with paige bueckers across the room.
w: smut, dom!paige, heavy sexual tension, explicit language, club setting, alcohol use, oral sex (f receiving + giving), strap ๐, confident!paige, flirty banter, minor teasing/dirty talk, reader is kinda cocky but lowkey nervous too
word count: 4.6k
the thing about dallas isโฆ itโs hot. even at night. even when youโre tipsy and wearing next to nothing.
โgoddamn,โ your best friend whistles when you step out of your apartment, hands dramatically framing your body like sheโs casting a spell. โyou trying to get fucked tonight orrrrโฆ?โ
you roll your eyes, smoothing your palms down the sides of your denim skirt. itโs short, snug, and sitting just right on your hips. paired with the slinky little sparkly top barely holding onto your chest and your favorite black boots, you were definitely giving that. unintentionally of course.
โiโm trying to get a drink,โ you say dryly. โand maybe a dance.โ
โmm right,โ she smirks, unlocking her car. โbet you wonโt be saying that once you see whoโs at the club tonight.โ
you shoot her a look as you slide into the passenger seat. โwhy, who?โ
she shrugs, the casual kind of shrug that means she knows exactly what sheโs doing. โheard some of the dallas wings team might be there. itโs one of their spots, apparently.โ
you blink. โokay? and?โ
she laughs, shaking her head. โgirl, theyโre hot. theyโre athletes. most of them are gay. sounds like your exact type.โ
you snort. โtheyโre also famous. you think theyโre fucking regular ass people from dallas?โ
โuhhh yes?โ she counters immediately. โathletes be horny too, bitch. they donโt care who you are as long as youโre hot.โ she looks you up and down again. โwhich you very much are.โ
you just laugh, resting your head against the seat as she drives. your phone buzzes in your purse, but you ignore it. tonightโs about letting go. or at least pretending to.
โ
the club is packed by the time you get there.
some 90s hip hop track is blasting through the speakers, bass so deep you feel it in your chest. the lights are dim, neon purple and pink casting shadows across the dance floor. the air is thickโ perfume, cologne, weed, alcohol, hookah and people are already pressed up against each other, laughing, drinking, grinding.
โthis is so our vibe,โ your friend says, grabbing your hand as you both maneuver toward the bar.
you order a tequila sodaโstrong, but manageable, while she goes for something vodka-based that smells like it could knock you out in one sip.
โiโm getting fucked up and getting some dick tonight,โ she says confidently, clinking her glass against yours.
โhave fun with that,โ you grin, taking your first sip.
and then you see them.
a group of tall-ass women in the corner, posted up like they own the place. they move like athletes, hold themselves like it too. and when you scan the group, eyes skating over braids and biceps and bottlesโ
you see her.
sheโs leaning back against the booth, one arm slung casually over the backrest, a lazy smirk on her face like she knows exactly how good she looks. sheโs wearing a fitted white tee, jewelry glinting on her wrist and neck, blonde hair in that messy perfect state that looks both effortless and deliberate. and sheโs looking at you.
hard.
you werenโt expecting the eye contact. werenโt expecting it to feel like a fucking pull.
you drop your gaze immediately, acting cool as you turn back to the bar just in time to grab your drink.
but your best friend caught it. obviously.
โbitch,โ she says, eyes wide. โyou two were eye- fucking.โ
โno we werenโt,โ you scoff, sipping your drink.
she cocks her head. โokay, so why is she walking over here right now?โ
โshit.โ
you barely have time to fix your expression before sheโs in front of you. paige fucking bueckers. in the flesh. up close. prettier than her highlights, smoother than you were ready for.
โhey,โ she says, voice low, smooth.
you glance up, matching her energy. โhey.โ
she looks you up and downโnot subtly. โyou got a name?โ
you bite back your smile. โyou first.โ
that gets a laugh out of her. โiโm paige.โ
โoh yeah?โ you say innocently. โyou play ball or something?โ
her smile deepens. โsomething like that.โ
you tell her your name, and she repeats it, like sheโs trying it on for size. it sounds real good coming from her mouth.
โyou from dallas?โ she asks, sipping whatever drink sheโs holding.
you shrug. โborn and raised. why?โ
โjust curious.โ sheโs close now, arm brushing yours. โyou got that local vibe.โ
you raise an eyebrow. โwhat does that mean?โ
โmeans youโre fine as hell and chill bout it.โ
you laugh. โso thatโs your type?โ
โtonight it is.โ
the conversation keeps going like thatโeasy, teasing, warm. paige is bold, but never cocky, smooth without trying too hard. you keep your tone light, but your heartโs beating fast. the tensionโs building. every time she leans in closer, you feel it.
โso what do you do?โ she asks, gaze slow as it trails down your legs and back up, eyes catching on the hem of your skirt. โbesides drive people crazy looking like that.โ
you grin. โi work in sports media. real job and everything. been with bleacherโs report since i graduated.โ
her eyebrows go up, impressed. โokay, big-time.โ
โyouโre one to talk.โ
she smirks. โyouโve been watching me?โ
โyou were hard to miss.โ
thereโs a pause. her gaze dips to your lips.
โyou wanna get out of here?โ she asks, voice lower now. rougher.
you tilt your head. โwho said i was interested?โ
her expression falters, just for a second. and then she recovers, leans in even closer. โyour body language. itโs saying otherwise.โ
you stare at her for a beat. then smile.
โgive me five minutes.โ
you find your best friend, ask her if sheโs good. she grins, waving you off toward paige like a damn matchmaker.
and thatโs how you end up in the passenger seat of paige bueckersโ car, her hand sliding onto your thigh the second she pulls out of the lot.
โ
her apartment is nice. new, clearlyโmodern countertops, tall ceilings, basketballs and duffle bags tossed in the corner. not a ton of decoration yet, but it smells like her. expensive cologne, subtle vanilla.
she hands you a bottle of water before you even sit down.
โhydration is sexy,โ she says with a wink.
you laugh, sipping it. โyou always this polite after trying to pick someone up?โ
she shrugs. โjust making sure your hydrated.โ
you sit on her couch. the tension between you is practically humming.
and sheโs justโฆ staring.
like she wants to devour you.
you raise an eyebrow. โyou just gonna keep looking at me like that?โ
she leans forward, voice dropping. โor what?โ
you smirk. โor you could do something about it.โ
she doesnโt need to be told twice.
sheโs on you in secondsโlips on yours, hands already gripping your waist, pulling you into her lap like she canโt wait a second longer. the kiss is hotโall tongue and teeth and desperate breaths. she tastes like vodka and mint, and her fingers are already pushing up your skirt.
โfuck,โ she mutters, tugging your top off, eyes drinking you in. โyouโre so fucking sexy.โ
you laugh against her mouth, tugging at her shirt. โyou too cocky to be this good a kisser.โ
โyouโve seen nothing yet.โ
she stands, pulling you with her, dragging you toward the bedroom without breaking the kiss.
by the time you hit the mattress, your skirt is gone. her hands are everywhereโpinning your hips down, trailing over your thighs, slipping under your underwear.
and then sheโs eating you like sheโs starving. no hesitation, no warm-upโjust her mouth, hot and slick and fucking relentless.
โshit, paigeโโ
she moans into you, sucking your clit, holding your legs open like you might disappear if she doesnโt keep you in place. itโs intense. overwhelming. fast.
โfeel good?โ she mutters, voice rough.
โyes donโt stopโโ
you cum embarrassingly quick, thighs shaking, but she doesnโt stop. not until youโre crying out again, and then she finally lets up, crawling over you with a smug smile.
โyou gonna be good for me now?โ she asks, breathless.
you flip her over in response, grinning. โyour turn.โ
you go down on her, making her writhe and moan and begโand you love every second of it. love the way her voice breaks when she says your name. love the way she tugs your hair when she gets close
you donโt stop until she cums hard, hips shaking, voice raw from moaning. her hand stays in your hair, fingers tightening every time you kiss your way up her stomach, over her chest, up to her throat.
youโre still catching your breath when she flips you.
โyou think you have one more in you?โ she asks.
quick. effortless. like sheโs been waiting.
โyeah.โ you say quickly.
โyou look so good like this,โ she murmurs, eyes dragging down your body like she wants to ruin you. โlegs spread, already so fucking wet for me.โ
you reach for her, but sheโs already off the bed, grabbing the purple strap from the drawer like she knew exactly when sheโd use it. you swallow hard, breath catching as she steps into itโslow, teasing, powerful.
โyou ready for me, baby?โ she asks, tone low and smug. โor do i need to make you beg a little first?โ
you donโt give her the satisfactionโjust hold her gaze, daring her. โiโve been ready.โ
she climbs back on top of you, hands firm on your hips as she lines the strap up and slides in slow, making sure you feel all of it. your mouth falls open. a gasp leaves your throat, needy and unfiltered.
paige smirks. โthatโs what i thought.โ
then she fucks you.
deep, relentless strokes that leave you shaking. every thrust hits just right, has you crying out her name, clinging to her back, your nails dragging over her skin. she leans in, lips brushing your ear.
โyou take me so well,โ she whispers. โso fucking good for me. look at youโalready close, huh?โ
you nod, whimpering, thighs trembling around her. she picks up the pace, one hand slipping between your legs to rub tight, fast circles over your clit while she keeps pounding into you like she owns you.
โcum for me,โ she growls, breath hot against your neck. โright now.โ
and you doโloud, messy, body arching up into her like sheโs the only thing that matters.
but she doesnโt stop.
she fucks you through it, chasing her own high from the way you fall apart underneath her.
โfuck. iโm gonna cum again.โ she says.
and she does moaning your name.
when she finally slows down, she kisses you soft. breathless. a sharp contrast to everything she just did to you.
โstill breathing?โ she teases, stroking your cheek.
โbarely.โ you say jokingly.
she just grins at you, tracing your hip with her fingers.
โsoโฆ think youโll be at that club next weekend?โ
you roll your eyes. โyou already trying to run it back?โ
she shrugs, kissing your shoulder. โyouโre local, right?โ
you smirk, snuggling into her chest. โweโll see.โ
โwell give me your number, just incase you need to know when iโll be there.โ she says smirking.
โyeah whatever.โ you say laughing.
You're onto something, there's two cans...just maybe
Misss girl what are we doing with paintโฆ..
Either you show your face and talk one on one or my post are gonna remain up. I already have everything ss, I'll make another account so quick to show who y'all really are๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
I've been on this app for years, you wanted to send anons and you thought no one would know it was you...It was so easy to tell from the fact that you can bearly form correct sentnces. I know for a fact you learned about punctuation around mid 1900. I answered you and got in your feeling because I stated facts. No one's stupid enough to follow the account they wanna hate on then send them hate...bffr
You're "friends" obviously don't know shit. I have one account, I don't have the time to keep up with 3 more. That's a you thing. If those were really my accounts, there would be so much smut reposted on all of them๐
Knowing your unemployed ass, you're probably sending trashy anons people that aren't even apart of this. Pathetic ๐

in which it was time for paige to share her life to the world
The Dallas heat clung to everythingโyour skin, your clothes, your breath. It had been one of those dry, hazy spring days where the city buzzed with anticipation, and today that energy had a name: Paige Bueckers.
Drafted to the Wings only a week ago, your wife had already been pulled in a hundred different directionsโinterviews, photoshoots, press conferences, sponsor obligations. And tonight, a team dinner to cap it all off.
You knew she was exhausted. Youโd seen it in the slump of her shoulders when she got dressed earlier, the tired smile she gave you as she kissed your cheek goodbye. Still, she went. Paige always did the hard thing with grace.
You stayed home with your daughter.
The dinner had started off lightโwings, tacos, laughter echoing around the table at some local spot her new teammates loved. Everyone was still riding high from the buzz around the team, and Paige, though quiet at first, settled in after a couple rounds of teasing and margaritas (which she didnโt even sip, but they still joked like she was three drinks in).
โSo Paige,โ Arike Ogunbowale said from across the table, grinning, โyou and Azziโฆ whatโs the deal?โ
It was casual, playfulโjust a nudge in the middle of the chaosโbut the whole table paused. Even the waitress setting down guacamole looked like she froze mid-motion.
Paige blinked once, then laughed. It was genuine, warm, and more amused than anything. โMe and Azzi? Nah. Weโre just close. Likeโฆ family.โ
Arike nodded, her mouth full of tortilla chip. โOkay, okay. Just checking. Social mediaโs obsessed.โ
One of the rookies chimed in, โYeah, I mean, youโre always together.โ
Paige shrugged, still smiling. โThatโs what happens when youโve known someone since you were fifteen. Sheโs my best friend, thatโs all.โ
There was a flicker of something protective in her voice. Not sharp, but final.
The questions faded, and the conversation shifted toward next weekโs training schedule. Paige let herself relax again, but a weight settled in her chest. They didnโt mean any harm. But part of her still hated that people couldnโt imagine her love life without assuming it had to be another basketball player.
No one had guessed the truth.
It was late when she got home. The house was quiet, soft golden light from the kitchen spilling into the hallway. Her sneakers came off with a sigh, and she padded softly down the hall.
First stop: the nursery.
The door was slightly cracked. Inside, a small figure lay sprawled on her belly, wild curly hair fanned out against the sheets. Her favorite stuffed puppy was clutched in one hand, the other hand thrown dramatically over her head like a tiny diva.
Paige stepped inside slowly, carefully. Her heart melted instantly.
She bent down, pressing a kiss to her daughterโs forehead. โI love you, bug,โ she whispered, so low it was barely sound. โSo much.โ
She lingered there for a secondโwatching, listening to the even rhythm of her baby girlโs breathingโthen gently closed the door behind her.
You were propped up in bed when Paige came in, your face glowing in the light from the TV. A rerun of Chopped was on low volume, the judges arguing about undercooked scallops. You looked over as she entered, your expression instantly softening.
โThereโs my superstar,โ you teased.
Paigeโs face cracked into a tired grin. She kicked off her hoodie and jeans and climbed into bed beside you, settling against the pillows with a heavy sigh. โIโm so tired I think my bones are asleep.โ
You chuckled, wrapping an arm around her. โYou handled that media circuit like a champ. I saw the clips.โ
She groaned, turning her face into your neck. โSo many questions. And they all ask the same thing. โWhat are you most excited about? How does it feel to be in Dallas? Do you think you and Azzi are soulmates?โโ
You raised an eyebrow. โWait, what?โ
Paige leaned back and looked at you, laughing. โIโm not kidding. One of my teammates asked if Azzi and I are a thing. The whole table went quiet like it was the tea of the night.โ
You couldnโt help your smirk. โAnd what did you say?โ
โThat sheโs like my sister,โ Paige said, deadpan. โBut I guess people donโt expect me to be married to someone who isnโt also a Nike-sponsored hooper.โ
You snorted. โYeah, well, they can keep wondering.โ
Paige reached for your hand, lacing her fingers with yours. She toyed with your wedding ring. โI donโt really care what they think. I just hate not being able to say it out loud.โ
โI know,โ you said softly. โBut here, with usโฆ you donโt have to hide.โ
A beat passed.
Then Paige looked toward the ceiling, her eyes fluttering shut. โSometimes I just wanna scream it. โIโm married to the love of my life and we have the most amazing little girl and Iโm not dating my best friend!โโ
You laughed quietly, running your fingers through her hair. โYouโre tired.โ
She nodded into your chest. โI am. But happy tired.โ
For a few minutes, you lay in silence, the soft glow of the TV casting shadows across the room. Her breathing slowed. Her hand still clutched yours.
Then she whispered, โShe was asleep when I checked in on her.โ
โWas she curled up like a little croissant again?โ
โNo,โ Paige said, grinning against your skin. โStarfish mode tonight. Sheโs dramatic, just like you.โ
You chuckled, closing your eyes as Paige snuggled in closer, her voice barely a breath now. โThanks for holding it down at home.โ
โAlways,โ you whispered, pressing a kiss to the crown of her head. โNow sleep. Youโve got a city to conquer tomorrow.โ
And with your arms wrapped around her, the soft hum of the TV, and your daughter safe down the hall, Paige finally let goโof the noise, the questions, the pressureโand drifted off in the quiet comfort of home.
Saturdays had a different feel now.
In Connecticut, it used to mean quiet coffee runs and long naps between workouts. But now, in Dallas, Saturdays were noisy. Messy. Beautiful. They started with sticky pancake fingers, early cartoons, and your daughter toddling around the kitchen with one sock on, yelling that she was a โbig girlโ and didnโt need a bib.
You and Paige had decided early on that today was just for the three of you. No media. No workouts. No press. Just a family day under the sun.
And so you found yourselves at a park, right in the middle of downtown Dallas. It was a bright, cloudless day. Families filled the green spaces, music echoed from a nearby jazz trio, and the food trucks lined up like a mini festival.
Your daughter, Emmaโtwo and a half years old and already a firecrackerโclung to Paigeโs hand like she was leading a grand expedition across the grass.
โWhere are we going, baby?โ Paige asked, her sunglasses perched on her head, her other hand holding your iced lemonade.
โTo da dogs!โ Emma shouted, pointing at the off-leash area where a dozen bouncing golden retrievers played in a chaotic fur ball.
Paige gasped dramatically. โTHE DOGS? Why didnโt you say so sooner?!โ
She scooped Em into her arms, spinning her in a wide circle that sent squeals of laughter into the breeze.
You followed behind, grinning like a lovestruck idiot, because no matter how many times you saw Paige with your daughter, it never got old.
After the dogs (which Em referred to as โher friendsโ), you found a shaded bench by the splash pad. Shoes were off. Chubby toddler legs were kicking water in all directions. Paige sat cross-legged on the concrete beside her, letting the spray hit her jeans, not caring one bit.
โOkay, okay,โ Paige said, pointing at a tiny spout, โif I put my hand here, will it spray me in the face?โ
Your daughter nodded, wild-eyed. โYes! Do it! Do it!โ
Paige pretended to consider. โI dunnoโฆ seems risky.โ
โDo it, Mama! Be brave!โ
You watched from the bench, barely holding back a laugh as Paige gave in with theatrical flair. She slapped her palm on the stream andโtrue to your daughterโs predictionโit shot directly into her face.
Both of them screamed.
Your daughter collapsed into giggles, falling back into your lap as Paige wiped her face and feigned betrayal.
โI trusted you!โ she cried.
โI sorry,โ your daughter said through giggles, not sorry at all.
โYeah, yeah. Youโre a tiny little prankster, thatโs what you are.โ
She pounced, grabbing your daughter from your arms and tickling her belly until the poor girl was a breathless, wriggling mess.
Later, after lunch from a taco truck and ice cream melting faster than you could eat it, the three of you laid on a picnic blanket near the edge of the park. Paige was on her back, your daughter curled up on her chest, slowly blinking up at the blue sky. She was coming down from her sugar high, hair damp from the water, eyelids fluttering.
You leaned over, resting your head on Paigeโs shoulder.
โTired?โ you asked.
โLike, Iโd-rather-get-run-over-by-a-scooter-than-move tired,โ Paige whispered back. โBut this is the happiest Iโve been inโฆ I donโt even know how long.โ
You looked down at your daughterโs little hand resting on Paigeโs shirt, her tiny thumb unconsciously stroking Paigeโs collarbone. Paige didnโt even seem to noticeโshe was so used to the closeness now.
โShe loves you so much,โ you said, your voice quiet.
Paige turned her head to look at you. โIโd give her the moon if she asked.โ
You smiled, and she kissed you softly, the kind of kiss that didnโt need fireworks or urgencyโjust comfort and presence. Just love.
The sun dipped lower, casting golden light across the buildings. You started packing up while Paige stayed sprawled out on the blanket, your daughter now fully asleep, mouth slightly open, cheek pressed to Paigeโs chest.
As you folded up the corner of the blanket, Paige looked up at you, her voice barely above a whisper.
โDo you think theyโll ever get used to this?โ she asked.
โWho?โ
โThe world. The media. Everyone who thinks I should be with Azzi or still single. Everyone who canโt imagine Iโd choose thisโquiet Saturdays and sippy cups over spotlight interviews.โ
You met her gaze and smiled softly. โThey donโt have to understand it. You just have to live it.โ
Paige looked down at the little bundle on her chest, then back at you. โIโm living it. And itโs perfect.โ
By the time you made it back to the car, your daughter was groggy and muttering something about needing her stuffed puppy. Paige kissed her forehead, promised theyโd find it when they got home, then strapped her gently into the car seat.
As she closed the door, you caught her hand.
โHey,โ you murmured, tugging her in.
She stepped into you easily, wrapping her arms around your waist.
โThank you,โ you whispered against her temple.
โFor what?โ she asked.
โFor being this. For loving us like this.โ
Paige tilted her head, brushing her lips across your jaw. โI donโt know how to be anything else.โ
And with your daughter softly snoring in the backseat, the air still warm with sun and laughter, you believed her with your whole heart.
Sundays in Dallas were slower, warmer in every way. The city was quieter. Even the breeze felt lazy, like it didnโt have anywhere to be. Today, you and Paige had taken your daughter to the Dallas Farmers Market โ your favorite spot for fresh fruit, wandering stalls, and letting your toddler explore the world in her little denim overalls and butterfly sneakers.
She held Paigeโs hand as she toddled toward a booth selling homemade soaps, squealing about the ones shaped like ducks. Paige, with her signature cap pulled low and sunglasses on, nodded along like this was a very important duck decision.
You were laughing, sipping your coffee, when it happened.
โWaitโฆ hold up.โ
You turned toward the voice just as Paige froze.
Two figures stood by a booth across the path. Tall, athletic, and unmistakable even out of uniform. Dijonai Carrington and NaLyssa Smith.
โPAIGE?โ Dijonai called, her eyebrows practically hitting her hairline. โIs that you?โ
Paige straightened slowly, adjusting her hat like it might help her hide in plain sight. โHeyyyy... guys.โ
NaLyssa squinted. โAre you holding hands with a baby?โ
You tried not to laugh, especially as Paigeโs eyes flicked to you with a silent help me.
โSheโs a toddler, actually,โ you said, stepping up and offering a warm smile. โAnd yes. Thatโs our daughter.โ
Dijonaiโs jaw dropped so fast you swore you heard it.
โOUR?!โ
Your daughter looked up at the sound and instantly broke into a grin. โMama!โ she shouted, lifting both arms toward Paige. Paige scooped her up with practiced ease.
NaLyssa blinked. โMama?!โ
โOkay, okay,โ Paige laughed, already blushing. โLet me explain.โ
After the initial shock wore offโand after your daughter insisted on showing them her duck soap and a sticker she got from a face painting boothโyou all decided to hang out the rest of the day.
The five of you ended up grabbing Thai food from a food stand and sprawling out at a nearby park on the grass. The energy was light, Emma chasing butterflies and occasionally tripping into Paigeโs lap, then laughing like it was the best thing ever.
NaLyssa took to her like an auntie in five seconds flat, giving her piggyback rides while Dijonai tried (and failed) to braid her curly hair.
By the time the sun started dipping low, you looked at Paige and smiled. โWe should invite them over.โ
Paige nodded. โYeah. Theyโre not gonna let this go without the full story anyway.โ
That evening, with your daughter finally asleep upstairsโcurled in her bed with her stuffed puppy tucked under one armโyou all lounged in your cozy living room. The lights were dimmed, music soft in the background, a couple candles flickering on the coffee table.
You poured glasses of wine, passing them around before curling up next to Paige on the couch. She stretched her arm around you, fingers gently tracing your shoulder as you sipped.
โAlright,โ Dijonai said, settling into the beanbag like she owned it. โSpill. We need the entire story. Likeโฆ Paige Bueckers has a family. Who wouldโve guessed?โ
Paige smiled, leaning into you a little. โItโs not as dramatic as you think.โ
You nudged her playfully. โKinda is.โ
NaLyssa raised her glass. โLetโs hear it.โ
You glanced at Paige, who gave you the go-ahead. So you started.
โWellโฆ we met at UConn. I wasnโt a playerโI was studying sports medicine and doing photography for the womenโs basketball program.โ
โShe had a camera in her hand every time I looked up from the court,โ Paige added with a soft laugh.
โI got pregnant right around the start of my second year, basketball season was just beginning,โ you said, tone quieting a little. โIt wasโฆ unplanned. The baby daddy didnโt stick around.โ
Dijonaiโs smile dropped. โDamn. That sucks.โ
You nodded. โYeah. It was rough. But Paigeโฆ she just showed up. Not all at once. Justโฆ little things. Bringing me food. Walking me back to my dorm when my ankles were too swollen. Sitting with me during appointments when I couldnโt reach my mom.โ
โI didnโt know what I was doing,โ Paige said. โBut I knew I wanted to help her. I wanted to be around.โ
โAnd then one day, she showed up with a crib she built herself,โ you continued, laughing softly. โBadly built, by the way.โ
โHey!โ Paige protested. โThat thing held perfectly until month six.โ
NaLyssa giggled. โSo when did itโฆ become more than friendship?โ
You looked at Paige, your eyes softening.
โIt was slow,โ you said. โBut honest. I think I loved her before I realized I did. Before I even knew I was allowed to.โ
โI fell first,โ Paige admitted, rubbing the back of her neck. โBut I waited until she was ready. I wasnโt going to push it.โ
You looked down at your wine, smiling. โAnd by the time our daughter was born, it was justโฆ obvious. She was already her mama. Her name deserved to be on the birth certificate. We got married shortly after Emma was born. No doubts whatsoever.โ
There was a beat of silence.
Then Dijonai let out a long whistle. โSo I guess the โPazziโ rumors are just rumors, huh?โ
Paige burst out laughing. โYeah. Definitely. Azziโs actually Emmaโs godmother.โ
NaLyssa choked on her wine. โWhat?! Yโall are out here playing chess while the whole internetโs writing fanfics!โ
โYeah,โ Paige smirked. โAnd I read some of them. Wild stuff.โ
You gasped. โPaige!โ
โWhat?โ she grinned. โSome of โem are kinda flattering.โ
Dijonai shook her head, laughing. โI love this. I canโt wait to see the look on peopleโs faces when they find out.โ
You looked at Paige, her cheeks flushed with wine and happiness, and smiled. โWeโre not rushing that. But itโs nice to finally share it with someone.โ
She leaned over and kissed you softly, letting her hand drift over your thigh. โYeah. Feels good.โ
NaLyssa raised her glass again. โTo chosen family. And duck soap. And a little girl with the coolest moms in Texas.โ
You all clinked glasses.
And in that living roomโwarm with love, filled with quiet laughter and soft confessionsโyou realized just how full your life had become.
Not just because of what you had with Paige.
But because of everything youโd built together.
The morning started with pancakes and cartoons, as it usually did. Paige had an early shoot around, but it was her first open-practice session with the team since the season officially kicked off โ and she insisted on making it a family affair.
โYou sure they wonโt mind?โ you asked as you buttoned your daughterโs little Wings jersey, the one with Bueckers on the back and โ#5โ in glitter iron-on patches.
Paige gave you a look like youโd just asked if basketballs were round. โTheyโll love it. Trust me โ theyโre already obsessed with her and they havenโt even met her yet.โ
You raised a brow. โTheyโre gonna be obsessed with me too, right?โ
Paige leaned in, kissed you softly, and murmured against your lips, โI already am.โ
The College Park Center buzzed with energy when you arrived. The team was mid-practice, music bumping through the speakers, sneakers squeaking across the court. Trainers and staff bustled around, but when Paige jogged in with you and your daughter in tow, heads turned.
A few players paused their drills, doing double takes.
โIs thatโฆ?โ
โOh my god, sheโs here!โ
NaLyssa was the first to run over, already beaming. โHey! My favorite tiny human!โ she called, bending down with arms open.
Your daughter squealed and took off across the hardwood โ all bouncing curls and flashing sneakers โ throwing herself into NaLyssaโs arms.
โYou see that?โ Paige said proudly, wrapping an arm around your waist. โStar player in the making.โ
โYou mean star recruiter,โ you teased. โSheโs already got the team wrapped around her finger.โ
Practice paused for a bit โ not because it was scheduled to, but because your daughter had singlehandedly hijacked the gym.
Maddy Siegrist taught her how to spin a ball on her finger (badly), and Teaira McCowan gave her piggyback rides down the sideline. Arike pretended to โloseโ to her in a 1-on-1 dribble showdown, flopping dramatically every time your daughter drove the ball (slowly pushed it across the court while making car sounds).
Paige, watching from the bench with you tucked under her arm, just smiled like her whole world was right there on that hardwood.
When Coach Chris Koclanes walked over, hands on his hips, you tensed โ but the coach just looked at Paigeโs daughter, then at you, and broke into a warm grin.
โSo,โ he said, โthis is the little MVP weโve been hearing about?โ
โSheโs the real star of the family,โ you replied.
Coach nodded sagely. โWell, weโve got open tryouts in 2042.โ
Later, after a water break and some light drills, the team settled into a shooting competition, and Paige brought your daughter onto the court with her.
โAlright, baby girl,โ Paige said, handing her a mini basketball, โshow โem how we do it at home.โ
Your daughter squinted at the toddler-sized hoop theyโd rolled out, took three steps back, and chucked the ball with everything she had.
It bounced off the rim, hit the floor, and rolled to NaLyssaโs feet.
And everyone still cheered like she just hit a buzzer-beater in the Finals.
โSheโs got that dog in her!โ NaLyssa yelled.
โSign her now!โ Dijonai called from the baseline.
Emma spun around, arms high in the air, and shouted, โI WIN!โ
The team exploded in laughter and applause, and Paige scooped her up and spun her around.
โYou always win,โ she whispered, kissing her cheek. โAlways.โ
Practice wrapped up with team stretches, and your daughter sat in Paigeโs lap, mimicking every move with a dramatic flair that had half the players in tears from laughing.
You took a few pictures โ one of Paige mid-stretch with her daughter copying her pose, both of them giggling, sweat-slick and sunlit under the gym lights. Another of the whole team posing around your daughter like she was their mascot.
By the time you were heading out, your daughterโs head rested sleepily on Paigeโs shoulder, a little snack in one hand and her other thumb tucked in her mouth.
โShe did great,โ you whispered.
โSo did I,โ Paige murmured back with a grin. โI was so nervous.โ
You looked up at her. โAbout what?โ
โBringing my world together,โ she said. โYou, herโฆ them. I just didnโt want it to feel weird. Or too much.โ
You kissed her gently on the temple. โYou didnโt bring your world together, Paige. You built one. And weโre all lucky to be part of it.โ
Paige glanced down at your daughter, kissed the side of her head, then looked at you like she couldnโt believe sheโd gotten this lucky.
โLetโs go home,โ she whispered. โIโve got my whole team right here.โ
The next morning, you were still in pajamas, your daughter sitting in her high chair absolutely covered in oatmeal, when Paigeโs phone started blowing up.
She frowned at it, brushing oatmeal off her hoodie as she picked it up. โUhโฆ babe?โ
You looked up from your coffee. โHmm?โ
โI thinkโฆ I think we just went viral.โ
You raised a brow. โWhat do you mean โweโ?โ
Dallas Wings โ Instagram (@/dallaswings) [โGoldenโ โ Harry Styles] โThe Bueckers Era has officially begun ๐๐โ
The video opened with Paige walking into the practice facility holding your daughterโs hand โ her tiny legs moving double-time to keep up, her jersey bouncing as she walked.
Cut to:
Paige tying her daughterโs shoes on the bench
A shot of you sitting court side with your camera in hand, smiling at them
Your daughter making a shot in the toddler hoop and doing a victory dance as the team erupts
Paige picking her up and spinning her in the air, both of them laughing
Finally, a close-up of your daughter asleep on Paigeโs chest during cool-down, Paigeโs hand protectively over her back

The comments? Unhinged.

The TikTok version? Hit 1.2 million views in three hours.
And your DMs? Albeit being private. Piling up with everything from โCONGRATS OMGโ to โhow did you pull her???โ to โtell us your love story pls pls pls.โ
You just turned your phone over and looked at Paige, who was feeding your daughter a blueberry while trying not to panic.
โWell,โ you said, sipping your coffee. โHard launch.โ
That night, the Wings media team reached out about doing a feature for their upcoming mini docuseries, โInside the Paint.โ Paige hesitated, but you looked at her and said:
โIf weโre gonna tell itโฆ letโs tell it right.โ
You, Paige, and your daughter sat side-by-side on the couch in your home, camera crew set up across from you.
โSheโs my whole heart,โ Paige said, glancing at Emma who was now climbing into her lap with a granola bar. โSheโs not technically mine. But she is.โ
You nodded. โWe met at UConn. I was pregnant โ alone. Paige was justโฆ Paige. Gentle. Always there.โ
The camera caught Paigeโs hand finding yours.
โShe helped raise her. Changed diapers. Did midnight feeds. Built cribs badly,โ you teased.
โShe was the first person who made me feel like I wasnโt alone in it,โ you continued. โAnd somewhere along the way, we justโฆ fell in love.โ
โMy nameโs on the birth certificate,โ Paige added softly. โAnd my last nameโs on both of theirs now.โ
โMama was all she knew Paige to be.โ
The crew filmed the bookshelf with framed family photos. Paige carrying your daughter on her shoulders at the beach. You three asleep on the couch in a tangle of limbs. A picture of Azzi Fudd holding your daughter at her baptism with tears in her eyes.
โSheโs the godmother,โ Paige confirmed, grinning. โAzzi. The real MVP.โ
The episode dropped on YouTube and Instagram the following weekend. And in under 24 hours, it was the top trending topic on WNBA Twitter and TikTok.
The reactions? A mix of sobbing emojis, fan art of your little family, and people just melting over how soft Paige was the whole time.
@/bballdreams: I thought I couldnโt love Paige Bueckers more. And then she became a wife and a mom. Iโm DONE.
@/fanbrushfire: [art of Paige in uniform holding your daughterโs hand, with you in the background cheering them on] โMama Bueckersโ
@/sidelineheart: Paige Bueckers being a quiet, private wife and mother and then casually dropping the most beautiful love story Iโve ever heard?? How is this real??
That night, curled up with Paige on the couch, your daughter asleep upstairs, you scrolled through the chaos while Paige played with your fingers.
โYou okay with it?โ she asked softly.
You nodded. โIโm glad itโs out there. You deserved to be known like this.โ
She kissed your temple. โWe deserved to be known.โ
The Wings had just pulled off a thrilling win against the Mercury. Paige had dropped 19 with 8 assists, but the real surprise came postgame.
As the buzzer sounded and the crowd erupted, the arena lights dimmed for the usual fan-appreciation wrap-up โ but then the Jumbotron lit up with something unexpected.
โSpecial Presentationโ โ the screen read, flashing between highlights of the game and a video montage.
Your daughter appeared on-screen, wearing an oversized Wings hoodie, shyly grinning.
โHi Mama,โ her tiny voice said, echoing across the arena. โI proud of you. You my favorite player ever and ever. Can I give hug now?โ
The arena melted.
Paige turned, stunned, and saw you at the tunnel โ holding your daughter, her eyes bright and excited.
The crowd parted like the sea as the two of you walked onto the court. Your daughter wriggled out of your arms and ran straight to Paige, who dropped to her knees to catch her.
The ovation was deafening.
Tears welled in Paigeโs eyes as she kissed her daughterโs cheek, holding her tightly, forehead resting against her tiny one.
The announcer laughed through the mic. โLadies and gentlemenโฆ the real MVP of the night.โ
@/espnW: Paige Bueckers just got surprised on court by her wife and daughter after the Wings win. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. ๐ฅน๐
@/wnbatalk: โCan I give hug now?โ Iโm SOBBING. Who raised that little angel?!
@/courtsidechronicles: Paige crying while hugging her daughter, then looking at her wife like she hung the moon? Love is so real.
@/fanartfridays: [Art of the three of you walking off the court hand-in-hand, with the Wings logo glowing behind you.] โThe Heart of Dallas.โ
You tucked your daughter into bed, her plush Wings blanket pulled up to her chin. Paige leaned down and whispered, โYou were so brave today, baby. I love you so much.โ
โI love you too, Mama,โ she mumbled, already drifting.
You walked back downstairs together, hand in hand.
On the couch, Paige wrapped her arms around you from behind, chin on your shoulder.
โI think they really know us now,โ she murmured.
You tilted your head toward her. โThey do.โ
โAnd they love her,โ she added, a proud smile blooming across her face.
โSheโs impossible not to love,โ you whispered. โJust like her mom.โ
Paige kissed your cheek and pulled you closer, the glow of the moment still radiating through every room of your home.
โThank you,โ she said. โFor letting me have this life.โ
You turned in her arms, looked into her eyes, and smiled.
โWe built this life together. And the best part? Weโre just getting started.โ
The WNBA season had hit its brief midseason break, and for the first time in months, the house was quiet. You were curled up on the couch flipping through a book while Paige lay on the floor with Em lying across her chest, both completely still except for the rhythmic rise and fall of Paigeโs breathing.
Then Paigeโs phone buzzed from the coffee table.
She carefully reached for it, glancing at the screen without disturbing the sleepy toddler snuggled into her.
Azzi: I swear to God if I donโt see my goddaughter in person soon I will riot
Paige smiled and nudged you with her foot. โGuess whoโs demanding visitation rights.โ
You looked up, already grinning. โAzzi?โ
She showed you the screen and you snorted. โSheโs obsessed. But, fair. You know weโve been meaning to visit.โ
Paigeโs voice dropped to a softer tone as she looked down at the little girl sleeping peacefully on her chest. โI think itโs time we go back. Just for a few days.โ
โBack to where it all started?โ you asked.
Paige met your eyes, voice thick with nostalgia. โBack home.โ
just ate up all those tags when you could be writing it yourself...
there are so many 6k, 10k, hell even 20k that suck at the build-up for the MOST mediocre smut.
there are many blogs that are all fluff no smut strictly, instead of eating up tags, you could ask for recs.
what is with this new wave of short ass drabbles with porn and zero plot what happened to yearning?? what happened to build up?? what happened to the character being absolutely down bad for reader?? what happened to the 10k words fics?? screaming crying and throwing up i miss it
21๐ if you're a minor or ageless blog...youre not allowed to have an opinion thnx๐
