new joggers - James Maddison

Y/N x James Maddison Theme: Smut (you've been warned) James showing off his nex joggers, leading to some sexy time x word count: 2100+

Since the first time either one of you got new clothes, you and James would always present the new pieces to the other. It turned into a little but funny tradition in which you'd appreciate each other's sense of fashion.

Today, James got a package with something he ordered a while ago, but he didn't tell you what it was. He immediately vanished behind the bathroom door, and even though he just wanted to change clothes, he spent the last 20 minutes there.

You're sitting on the sofa, browsing your Instagram account for any new pictures of your friends, when you hear the bathroom door open swiftly.

"Took longer than expected." You smirk, raising both of your eyebrows.

"I wanted to make sure everything fit as it should." A playful smirk spreads across his soft lips while you turn your face toward him.

Surprisingly, he's just wearing a new pair of gray joggers; his shirt and socks are lying discarded on the bathroom floor behind him.

Overwhelmed by his cockiness, you can't help but look at his crotch; the outlines of his member are clearly visible. You can tell he's so excited already, and your eyes are fixated on him, unable to look away.

"James." You whisper as he strolls closer towards you, making sure to do a little spin, showing you every side of his well-formed body. Those joggers fit him perfectly, flattering all of him as if they were made just for him and him alone.

Speechless, you're still trying to figure out what is happening, your eyes trying to look anywhere but the obvious dent in his bulging track pants.

"Like what you see, eh?" He growls, striking the typical Instagram pose with two fingers at his chin and his eyes staring into yours. His body looks so good—his toaned abs, his tattoos, his beautiful arms, and his gorgeous face. It feels like he spent all that time in the bathroom just for this moment, to impress you by wearing a simple pair of joggers while showing off all of him at once.

"Uh, yeah. I mean." You stutter and get up from the sofa to get closer to him.

"It looks really good." You say this, placing a hand at his waist to slide a few fingers into his pants, feeling the fabric. It feels soft but elastic, but it's fitting really well to his body.

James, clearly enjoying your fingers inside his pants, runs a hand down his thigh. "Thank you. It's really tight, isn't it?"

You watch his fingers run to his crotch, tracing the outlines of his member slowly yet teasingly. Gasping, you look into his eyes as he smirks.

"You can definitely pull it off." You breathe, feeling the urge to touch him grow deep inside your belly—a sudden spark turned into a searing desire.

James licks his lips, putting his hands on your waist and pulling you into him, and you spot a similar spark ignite inside his bright eyes, causing your breath to quicken slightly.

"I bought it for us." He smiles, leaning in closer, yet his lips barely brush over yours. Your hands wander along his waistline and right to his ass, filling those pants easily. He purrs contently as you start to stroke him once, then twice, before you let your hands encompass the small of his back before you pull them away.

"I know you love me in those." James breathes deeply, making you gasp lightly again. Shuddering, you can feel his warm breath on your lips. To steady yourself, you put your hands on his firm chest, stroking him gently.

In response, he lifts his chin and tilts his head as his chest heaves with every deep breath he takes.

"Fuck, I really do love those tight ones." Looking down at his still-growing length, you let your hand run down his chest slowly and tenderly, making sure to feel every one of his muscles tensing at your touch.

Your eyes are stuck down there; you get lost in your thoughts; just James' gentle lifting of your chin snaps you out of it.

"You can touch it too." He breathes inside your mouth as he leans in for a deep, loving kiss.

Still hesitating, you can feel his taste all over your tongue, intoxicating every corner of your mouth. Right then, the faint scent of him—the familiar taste of his aftershave—reaches your nose, and once you take in a deep breath, it starts to cloud your mind; at the same time, you feel his hands all over your body, so gentle yet demanding.

"Try it." A low guttural growl escapes his throat, and his voice sounds so unusually deep.

You cannot help but give in and let your hands find their way to his joggers, feeling his longing desire bulge into the palm of your hands.

"Just like that." James breathes against your cheek, causing your skin to flush with color, turning it bright red. He's so close; the heat emitted from his body is reaching yours, letting the desire to give in to him completely burn even brighter.

"Is that good?" You grab him firmly, and he tries to hold back, yet he moans into your mouth.

"Fuck." He starts rocking his hip slowly into your touch, letting you feel him grow even harder inside your firm embrace. "Very good." James sighs, and his hands slip underneath your shirt. His warm hands dance across your skin, right toward your bra, uhooking it in one swift motion.

Leaning backward, you let him undress you one piece at a time. Your shirt drops to the floor first, then your bra, while he purrs deeply. He's enjoying himself; you can tell just by his gentle touch.

Satisfied, he stares at your body, at your boobs—touching you—feeling you tense more and more.

"Right there." You lick your lips and regain your composure slowly but steadily.

James opens his mouth to say something, but before any word escapes his lips, you let your hands slide inside his tight pants to touch him firmly, making him groan out loud instead.

"That's the way." You smirk, tracing the tangible outlines of his length through his thin boxers.

"You're a fucking tease," James growls, leaning into you to place kisses all over your neck as his hands massage your breast. You feel him playing with your nipples while you stroke him, just hard enough to make him carve much more.

You giggle shortly before his touch gets more intense, making you moan softly.

"You like it, don't you?" You whisper right into his ear while he's still busy kissing your neck, but he doesn't even need to say anything; part of him is giving you an answer, just by moving slightly against your hand.

Just then, with the scent of his cologne still hovering all around you and the burning kisses he leaves all over your skin, you can't wait any longer. In one swift motion, your hand gets inside his underwear, grabbing his length firmly.

He winces shortly, letting out a throaty moan, but regains his composure quickly as he separates himself to look straight into your eyes.

"You seem to enjoy yourself as well." He tilts his head teasingly, and at the same time, his hands encompass your entire upper body once more before they find their way between your thighs.

"I am." You giggle into his shoulder while he's desperately trying to open your jeans. He fails yet, and you feel his fingers trying to unbutton them.

"Work for it, James." You hiss, letting your hand stroke across his chest to pinch his hard nipples, making him grunt angrily.

Frustrated, he looks down at your jeans. "Who made these jeans?" He grunts angrily before he manages to unbutton your pants.

"Fuck this." He grins triumphantly as the jeans drop to the floor, and his eyes wander from your crotch upwards to your face.

Enjoying him in this state—a little angry, horny, and cocky—you place a hand at his chin, grabbing his face gently.

"I'm not that easy to get." You smirk again, and he grins before you let your hands slip out of his tight pants.

"I figured." James admits defeat, and you watch his gaze slowly wander down your body before it rests at your thighs. Simultaneously, one of his hands finds its way down there as well, and you enjoy the tingling sensation running through your veins at his slightest touch.

"Let's take this somewhere else." Returning the favor by brushing your hands against his thick bulge, you walk past him into the bedroom and make your way onto the bed.

But James doesn't say a word; instead, he just grolws deeply, a sound echoing through your bones, causing your body to vibrate in excitement.

You turn around to see James walking toward you, one of his hands touching himself firmly, and it seems like he's already edging himself on—his chest bulges with every deep breath he takes, his voice is all guttural and husky, and all of his muscles are tensed to their limit—a beautiful sight.

"I am so fucking hard right now." He grunts deeply, rubbing the palm of his hand against his length while closing the door behind him.

"Come here, then." You hiss and remove your underwear to throw it towards him, hitting his chest.

James gnashes his teeth angrily, pulling down his pants and boxers—you haven't seen him that agitated in awhile; all that teasing got him worked up all ready.

He strokes himself lovingly before he gets on top of the bed and starts crawling towards you.

Watching him get closer and closer, you lick your own lips and touch your own chest in anticipation of his intoxicating embrace.

Finally, he reaches your legs, spreading them slightly. You let out a soft moan as his hands run along your bare skin, his fingers leaving nothing but a burning sensation behind.

"James." You bite your lower lip while watching him touch you longingly.

He keeps staring into your eyes before he smirks, bending down to kiss his way across your skin, your thighs, and further down your body to your breasts. Feeling his soft, wet lips all over your skin sends waves of shivers down your entire back—so good.

Your whole body is bending into him in ecstasy, and you feel his lips brush over your skin until they reach your neck. Both of you are breathing so fast, feeling each other's bodies pressed against one another—feeling the other's heart racing, the deep breaths, the low, deep moans—it's so hard not to give in right away, to let go of all that pain and pleasure.

Already out of breath, you intertwine your fingers with him, trying to get a hold of something as you feel him, his length grinding on your thighs, just waiting for the moment to take another step forward.

"Be gentle." You hold back a soft moan, your gaze switching between his eyes and his lips as you feel him slowly slide inside you.

Leaning back against your pillows, you let out a low moan, bending your body even more. James, at the same time, embraces your body against his and lets his rhythm take over; his body moves smoothly back and forth, trying to find the most comfortable position for the two of you.

"Aren't I always?" He smirks before he rocks his hips against yours; his thrusts, however, are steadily increasing in strength and pace.

Steadying himself against the matress, you reach out for his chest to stroke him again and again, encouraging him to go further, and in the process, you pinch his nipples, making him moan loudly.

"That's...good." He grunts breathlessly and bends down to kiss you.

Embracing his lips on yours, you hug him as well, running your nails across his back.

James moans into your mouth before you feel him going even faster.

He is not wasting any time today, and he growls deeply in between his heavy breathing. With every firm thrust, you already feel yourself getting closer to the edge.

"Fuck, James. It feels-." You get interrupted by another strong thrust, pressing you against the mattress.

His expression tenses suddenly, his moves get rougher, and he bites his lower lip.

"I'm so close, already." James holds back another long groan, but it still escapes his lips.

With him keeping this up for a little while longer, it doesn't take long for the two of you to scream out in ecstasy, your voices echoing through your whole apartment.

For a while, you just stare into each other's eyes, breathing heavily and sweat dripping down his forehead. Just then, he leans into you, kissing you softly.

"Fucking amazing." He says, sliding out of you and dropping right next to you on the bed.

You pull up a blanket and cover both of you up to your chests as he gets closer to cuddle.

"Those pants, man, ugh." Letting out a deep sigh, you lay your head against his chest.

James chuckles. "I know, right. I'll wear them every day now."

Sharing a laugh, you kiss him again.

"I dare you." You nudge him playfully, and the two of you cuddle for a while until you fall asleep.

Picnic date with James in the parc after the busy weeks you both just had, finally some time for the both of you. Diego trying to steal the food, leading it all into some hilarious scene as James kept trying to keep the dog to behave constantly excusing himself the whole time

Of course :)

This whole week had ben very exhausting for the both of you. James had always been coming home from work and wanting to go to sleep immediately, the same went for you after coming home from the office.

So you decided to make plans for a date, a picnic at the park. James brought Diego along because you missed playing with him.

You had brought a basket and in it you had packed sandwiches, strawberries, blueberries, and homemade chocolate chip cookies. James had brought a blanket to place on the ground and you set the basket down. Diego had laid down, and he was tired so he had put his head on his paw.

Diego had taken like a ten minute nap, within those 10 minutes you and James were eating, you even fed your boyfriend some grapes.

After his nap Diego woke up and saw some strawberries were on the lid of the tupper ware are near him. He had grabbed a strawberry with his mouth and started to try and get James to chase him. Madders saw Diego and started chasing him to get the strawberry back before he swallowed it. You were laughing at the scene being unfolded in front of you.

You started recording this funny interaction and posted it on your story with the caption "When the third wheel steals your boyfriend while on a date 😂".

When James came back you guys were dying of laughter because of Diego. You guys packed your stuff up and went home. On the ride home you were happy at how the date turned out even though Diego tried to steal James from you.

I hope you enjoy it! Also sorry for the delay of posting this piece :)

you and the kids start collect wc stickers and get excited when the find daddy or their uncles from dad's tram

As soon as the sticker book came out you had brought one for each child. You would spend hours sat together opening packs and swapping around with each other. They get super excited when they got their daddy’s sticker and their uncles from team and country. Each of them getting jealous if one got it instead of the other one. ‘Which one is your favourite so far?’. They all agreeing it was getting daddy but then one chirps up that getting their uncle which made everyone smile at how adorable your kids are.

You can find the prompts and cast your votes through HERE.

The form will stay open for 1 week, and you can vote as many times as you like. Posting will commence a.s.a.p. after that.

This will come as a shock to many, but I regret to inform you that Harry Styles has one again launched a stealth attack on Louis Tomlinson. Vicious, petty, unprovoked... it bears all the hallmarks of a Styles assault.

As you know, only the most unhinged discerning Louis Tomlinson fans are equipped to identify and track Harry Styles' vindictive strategies. We are grateful for their service as without them, the wider world would never know what he's capable of. However, I will do my best to give clarity and context to this latest offense. And what an egregious offense!!

This very week, Harry Styles joined the England football team at a London venue for a party thrown by James Corden to celebrate Declan Rice's 50th cap for England.

A couple of blurry pap photos show him leaving early in the night, while a ton of star players like Jordan Henderson, Jude Bellingham and James Maddison partied on until 4am. You know where this is going, right?

Who else is English, likes football, and supports the England team?

Okay, okay, roughly 50 million people...but bear with me. One of them is LOUIS TOMLINSON!

Need I say more?

This was clearly an attempt by Harry Styles to gain Louis' attention and RUB IT IN HIS FACE! Partying with the England team, which Louis would no doubt love to do??!! Unhinged behaviour from Styles!!

As one of Seasurfacefullofclouds1's anons so astutely put it,

"This man goes out of his way to befriend and be around people that Louis has vocally showed so much support of over the years or called his "idols". I personally believe something did happen between them on a romantic level years ago and Harry's toxic ass either never got over it or holds some kind of twisted resentment over it...It's abusive and manipulative".

They then poignantly ask, "Why can't Larries see this?" Why, indeed.

Some may wonder, when else has Harry gone out of his way to befriend Louis' idols? Two words:

LIAM GALLAGHER.

Five years ago, Liam Gallagher revealed that he and Harry were both working on their albums at RAK Studios at the same time, and hung out a few times. Harry even bought him fish! Seabass!

Harry clearly went to great lengths to orchestrate this in advance, because he KNEW that Louis was about to enter his Liam Gallagher cos-play era. He befriended Gallagher before Louis had even debuted his temporary new accent, changed his walk to match LG's, or started saying "youknowworrimean?" at least 17 times per sentence.

PREMEDITATED!

And it goes further than that! Gallagher shared in the press that he lives in the same area as Harry, and frequents the local pub right next to Harry's house. In 2019 Liam was at the pub having lunch with Andrew Wyatt and asked Harry to join and HE ACCEPTED. There's even photographic evidence courtesy of Wyatt and some fans!

From this I can only deduce one thing, and it's a chilling thought...

In 2012, when Harry Styles was buying his home, he bought one in Hampstead right next to that pub. Was he playing the long game, waiting seven years for Liam Gallagher to invite him for a pint in the hope it would gain future Louis Tomlinson's attention? After all, that's the kind of petty, obsessed demon he is.

SEVEN YEARS. Reflect on that.

Sea herself puts it best when she says, "Imagine your divorced dad keeping track of your divorced mom's friends, throwing parties for these friends, befriending them, buying them ££thousands in gifts and favors, inviting paps to take photos and write gossip columns.

Creepy".

Yes, just imagine!

How long will Harry's crazed and creepy attention-seeking spree go on for? Will Louis finally crack and give him the response he so obviously craves? HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH??!

#louis tomlinson #larrie bullshit #seasurfacefullofclouds1 #evil harry styles #STOP HIM!

Great to see Kyle Phil Jack and Kalvin named in the England squad yesterday 👍👍👍👍Obviously poor John Stones is injured again so tbh it's a relief he's not named in the squad. Sadly I see Spurs James Maddison has also had to pull out due to an injury that will keep him out of action until the new year. (I hate to see any player from any team get a bad injury) 😪 But can you imagine how the England team would be if Erling had decided to play for the land of his birth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 rather than Norway? 🇳🇴 Just sayin'...... 😉

Calacus Monthly Hit & Miss – Darts & Colin Graves

Every month we look at the best and worst communicators in the sports world from the last few weeks.

HIT – DARTS

It’s not that long ago that darts was associated with smoke-filled bars, pints and a male dominated crowd that didn’t exactly welcome a wide demographic of fans.

Watching Eric Bristow or Jacky Wilson with a cigarette or a pint as they played promoted a certain image that seems alien to the way the sport is now contested.

It all changed when Barry Hearn, the renowned promoter of snooker and boxing, led a breakaway from the governing body, the British Darts Organisation, to allow players to compete throughout the year and make a living from the sport.

The Circus Tavern venue gave way to Alexandra Palace and a prize fund of £64,000 with a winner’s cheque of £16,000 has risen to £2.5m with 96 players from around the world battling for the winner's £500,000 grand prize.

The format may essentially have remained the same, but the event has taken on its own personality, blending sport and entertainment together with intro music for each player as they walk to the stage.

Darts has changed from being a sport for old men to a spectacle played and watched by a younger crowd, attracting attention from general sports fans over the Festive period in particular, rather than just a regular fanatical crowd, many in fancy dress outfits.

The sport has become progressive too, with Fallon Sherrock flying the flag for female players and beating men in the World Championships on more than one occasion.

No wonder Sky extended their broadcast deal until 2025 when the last contract came close to expiring and after this year’s drama, no one would bet against them extending it again.

That darts caught the imagination of the wider public is down in no small part to Luke Littler, the 16-year-old prodigy who reached the 2024 final having first played when he was only 18 months old.

Perhaps his success shouldn’t have been a surprise, given that he was playing in under-21 competitions when he was just 10.

The unlikely star, who looks older than his teenage years, was a breath of fresh air, joking about his diet of kebabs and pizza and obsession with his Xbox.

He beat former world champions and his idol Raymond van Barneveld on his way to the final to truly announce himself on the world stage.

Sports stars flocked to meet him, including Tottenham Hotspur’s James Maddison, Arsenal duo Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale and, after the final, he visited his beloved Manchester United, who introduced him to legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Because of Littler, darts became front-page news, the talk of every UK television news show, and the 2024 World Darts Championship enjoyed record-breaking viewing figures thanks to Littler's fairy-tale.

His semi-final against Rob Cross averaged 1.79m viewers with a peak of 2.32m viewers, up by 40 per cent on the previous overall record and for the final that rose to a total audience of 4.8m viewers – the highest-ever non-football audience for Sky Sports.

Darts even dominated social media with Instagram seeing 11.8m video views and 10.2m total reach on Facebook. The Sky Sports website and app also saw 2.44m follow the live blog, up 307 per cent compared to last year’s final’s 648,000.

Sky Sports Darts' Wayne Mardle, who knows a thing or two about the sport, believes that Littler is the real deal.

He said: “I can't remember someone going up there with such a swagger and just banging in 180s and hitting 11 and 12-darters like they are going out of fashion.

"I'm a darts fan first and foremost, I was watching it and I had goosebumps watching him. I love people achieving and that was a boy achieving something on the world stage.”

UK-based global darts retailer, Darts Corner's managing director Craig Heenighan underlined how this year’s World Championships have had an impact on the sport as a whole.

He said: "Luke Littler's performance has captured the hearts of the nation. It's clearly had had a huge impact. It's not often that darts is on every radio station and on the back of every newspaper.

“If you think of elite-level sports, what 16-year-old could compete and make it to the final and have a have a really strong chance of winning?

"And it's not as though he's scraped through, he's been quite convincing in the wins he's had. I also just think it's probably the way he's gone about it. He doesn't look overawed. He's got a huge amount of composure. He seems very at home on stage, which is incredible for a 16-year-old.

"I think with the younger boys and girls around the country, looking at Luke, at the age of 16.... We've all seen the videos on TV of him playing (darts) in his nappy at 18 months old.

"I think that (says to) a new generation that darts is actually quite cool. And (they think): 'I could be quite good at darts.' And I think it just breathes new life, perhaps, into a new generation looking at the sport."

It’s not just the teenage sensation that caught the headlines though.

In a sport where opponents respect each other and promote the positive atmosphere created by the excitable crowd, a word too for the eventual winner this year, ‘Cool Hand Luke’ Humphries, who, despite ensuring no fairytale ending for Littler, did a great deal for the sport himself over the course of the event.

In a sport where machismo was once taken for granted, Humphries made no secret of his battles with anxiety but has overcome the challenges and lost some weight which has also benefited his performances.

In the post-match press conference, Humphries added that speaking openly about his troubles "definitely helped me because it was a weight off my shoulders".

"I'm not the only sportsman in the world who goes through it," he continued.

"I'm definitely not the only person in this room that goes through it. I was very open and honest about it because it was affecting my career and it was hard to hold it in.

"There have been lots of people on social media who've said 'You've really inspired me and helped me'. That makes me feel great. I didn't do it because of that. I did it because I wanted to be open and honest. All of a sudden I had celebrities and sports stars that messaged me and said that they go through the same."

Humphries, also praised the impact Littler has had and said: “I’m not just saying this because it will please everyone, but Luke has been an unbelievable talent. He has been fantastic with all the media that has come about with him and he took the defeat so well. He’s one of the best players in the world, there is no doubt about that.”

Humphries vowed to give some of his prize money to his local club as well as Prostate Cancer UK, who had already been pledged more than £900,000 after sponsor Paddy Power promised to donate £1,000 for every 180 that was landed, 914 in total.

"I'll donate a bit myself from the prize money. It's very, very close to my heart. My father-in-law, who has battled prostate cancer, went and got checked out. He's found it early.”

While there have been reports of pubs and clubs closing, reducing the access to darts by those who do not wish to play at home, organisations such as Flight Club can attract a Gen Z crowd.

With more than a dozen locations in the UK and venues in the US and Australia, they feature hi-tech booths with pumping tunes that also serve brunch and cocktails and interactive screens to allow groups to play different games.

Littler went one step further at the Bahrain Masters final later in January, hitting a nine-dart finish as he beat Michael van Gerwen 8-5 to secure his first senior PDC title.

It will be fascinating to see if Littler’s rise has a lasting effect on the popularity of darts but you wouldn’t want to bet against it after the excitement and focus this year’s World Championships attracted.

MISS – COLIN GRAVES

Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC) has a reputation as one of the most well-regarded clubs in England, having won over 30 County Championship titles.

But the Club has been marred by scandal in recent years and rocked by financial uncertainty that threatens its very existence.

While Colin Graves was first Chairman of the 160-year-old Club, from 2012 to 2015, the Club faced accusations of institutional racism, culminating in a complaint from captain Azeem Rafiq and later from others, resulting in a high profile investigation.

While the scandal was unfolding, Graves had an opportunity to take a stand and ensure those who were guilty were punished and safeguards put in place to ensure nothing like that happened again.

Rafiq’s claims painted a sorry picture of the abuse he and others had suffered.

The Club appeared to reluctantly concede only that Rafiq had been “the victim of inappropriate behaviour” while Graves attempted to dismiss these claims of racist language as mere “banter”, and was understandably roundly condemned for his response.

In late 2021, the Club released a statement concluding that “there is no conduct or action taken by any […] players or Executives that warrants disciplinary action”.

Yorkshire refused to send “anyone with executive authority to give evidence” to a parliamentary committee on the subject, while refusing to publish its internal report on the investigation into racism allegations.

When the report was published, it sent shockwaves through the Club and wider cricketing family, exposing a culture of racism that had long gone unpunished.

Yorkshire lost the right to host international games, was fined £400,000, and was docked 48 points from the 2023 County Championship, while many senior staff were sacked.

Sponsors understandably distanced themselves from the Club, including ground sponsor Emerald Publishing, creating financial issues that still afflict it today. The suspension of international games hosted at Headingley is estimated to have cost the club and surrounding area as much as £2,5m per game.

On top of the fine, the Chief Executive, Director of Cricket, and Head of Human Resources were all released, along with £3-4m.

After bungling their initial reaction, in August 2021, Yorkshire released a statement apologising to Rafiq and just over two years later, in October 2023, the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation released another statement apologising for racist behaviour.

Yorkshire’s increasingly difficult financial plight led to seeking investment from the Middle East to help address its financial challenges.

The situation got so bad that late last year, it transpired that the club was relying on support for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to help pay staff wages.

There were reports that the heating had broken down at Headingley and that former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley was planning on buying the famous ground.

When Ashley’s bid failed to materialise, it was hardly a surprise when Graves was confirmed as the only viable option to help the club get back on its feet.

A statement from the Club said: “The Board of Yorkshire County Cricket Club has tonight agreed to recommend the loan agreement from Mr Colin Graves.”

The former Chairman then told talkSport: “The ball is in the Yorkshire board’s court to make a decision, but my interest is real, it’s absolute, and that’s for one reason and one reason only, and it’s to save Yorkshire County Cricket Club. None of us wants to see that institution disappear.

“It’s not in a good place so from my point of view that’s the reason I’m doing this. I’m passionate about the place and I want to make sure that Yorkshire County Cricket Club survives and prospers.”

Understandably, Rafiq has sharply criticised Graves’ return and said: “There is a sense of sadness, a bit of anger. The message it clearly sends out is cricket is not a place that is safe for people like me: people from South Asian communities or people of colour.

“We have ended right back where we started. Nothing has changed. All we have had are empty words and broken promises. Now a man who has always seemed to minimise the club’s problems, a man who last June went on television and dismissed racism as “banter”, a man whose family trust was described as a “roadblock” to reform, is likely to return to Headingley as chairman. So where is the outcry now? Where are the interventions?”

Earlier this year, Graves released a further statement apologising to the racism victims: “I apologise personally and unreservedly to anyone who experienced any form of racism at Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Discrimination or abuse based on race, ethnicity or any other protected characteristic is not and never will be acceptable.

“I profoundly regret some of the language I used when asked about the events that took place when I was Chairman, at a time when I was no longer at the club. I understand and sympathise with those who regarded my comments as dismissive or uncaring.”

Local MP, Alex Sobell, made a plea for alternative investors and said: "Yorkshire County Cricket Club has admitted the racism prevalent at the club exposed by the brave testimony of Azeem Rafiq and rightly set up a whistleblowing helpline and investigation into the cases raised.

"Mr Graves has dismissed what the club has admitted, describing it as banter. I am very concerned that we would lose the progress we have made under a return by Mr Graves and would need not just a statement recanting his views but full commitment to create a club for the whole community."

Clive Efford MP, a member of the Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) select Committee, said Graves' return to the club would be "a disaster" while its Chair, Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, invited Graves to give evidence to the committee in February, adding that his return "undermines" the progress that Yorkshire has made so far.

"The disgraceful treatment of Azeem Rafiq by Yorkshire CCC was the tip of the iceberg, with racism, classism, sexism and misogyny found to be entrenched across the sport," Dinenage said in a statement.

"The publication of the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket's report last year offered a turning point for English cricket, which the ECB appears to be taking.

"The return of Colin Graves to Yorkshire and to English cricket risks undermining what progress has been made so far.

"The Culture, Media and Sport Committee will be watching closely as this deal progresses, so that the terrible past of Yorkshire CCC does not repeat itself."

Charity Sporting Equals also criticised the plan and stated: “The potential reinstatement of Colin Graves as Chairman of Yorkshire County Cricket Club would undermine the progress made.

“His reinstatement would send a message that emboldens those who perpetuate the myth that racism is simply banter, that it is enough to pay lip service to policies and procedures. It would make a mockery of the suffering of ethnically diverse players across the country. It would be a rejection of the ICEC Report’s thorough investigation and well considered conclusions.“

The Club was then forced to refute accusations that it had dismissed other potential investors in preference to Graves’ return. "Yorkshire County Cricket Club and agents acting on our behalf have met with over 350 interested parties to work through the validity of each and every genuine offer to refinance the club.

"No stone has been left unturned and a thorough and rigorous process has been conducted by the board to ensure the club stays operational for the benefit of its members, creditors and employees. We refute any assertion to the contrary.”

There is no doubt that if Graves does ratify his bid for the Club, it will prove to be an unwanted sideshow and raise further questions about English cricket’s commitment to tackling racism.

Whether sponsors remain with the club or depart to disassociate themselves from the controversy remains to be seen, potentially plunging the Club into further financial difficulties.

Some are said to be reviewing the situation and Rafiq asked others to do the same:

"My question now is for Yorkshire's current sponsors… Does Colin Graves reflect your values? Is it acceptable to describe racism as banter?

"Sponsors found their moral compass before, and they need to find it again, because any organisation supporting this is complicit in it. There is still time for them to act, to leave now and stop Yorkshire stepping back in time and undoing what progress they have made in the past three years."

YCCC has now confirmed that Graves will return, passing the vote with an 88% majority, a huge endorsement from the Club members.

How far Graves goes in accepting his mistakes and ensuring progress continues to be made in the fight against racism may well determine whether the Club can move on from one of the biggest challenges it has ever faced.

Watching TV together

30 Day Writing Challenge 2. Watching TV together James Maddison Word Count: 541 You and James had finally managed to put all the kids to bed, putting all 3 of them down was a struggle especially as none of them wanted to sleep when they were meant too.

"Right now they are asleep, shall we settle down and watch something?"James asked as you let out a yawn. "Mm, sorry. Yes that sounds perfect. I promise I won't fall asleep whilst watching TV though" you smiled as you sat down onto the sofa. "I'll see that when i believe it" he smirked as he passed you the remote control before walking to the kitchen to see what dinner he could make quickly. "So I made this super quick, just a stir fry. I hope it is okay" he smiled as ye passed you the bowl of food. "This looks so good, smells fantastic too. Thank you, glad I can have you as my personal chef" you tucked into the stir fry. "Ha that is just great, well someone had to be the chef didn't they because I'm pretty sure that you can't cook" you turned to see James having a big smirk on his face. "Well there is just no need to out me like that" you teased him. "Joking anyway, what do you fancy watching? I think we finished our series the other night" James asked as you clicked onto Netflix or Amazon which ever you preferred. "I have heard about one day, saw people all talk about it on TikTok" you asked James. "Oh yeah I saw that, if you are ready to cry maybe we need to get some tissues out" he laughed as he put his bowl down as he had practically cleared it. "Yeah okay, you don't have to watch it if you don't want to? if you don't fancy crying?" you asked him. James shook his head. "No course not I will watch it and if you dare tell anyone if I cry I will be pissed" you let out a little giggle as he knew you so well, watching him as he pressed play on the first episode. "Do you wanna come cuddle over here?" James asked as you nodded, jumping over onto his side of the sofa as you snuggled up to him as you laid your head gently on his jumper, breathing in the smell of his aftershave. "I have no clue what this actually is about you know, just seen people say how upsetting it is. I feel I should get the book first and then hopefully read it" you told James despite him not even listening to you. "I don't either, maybe we should have actually looked it up before pressing play because I don't wanna get confused you know" you leaned across him as you grabbed your phone and googled what the show is about. "So it is basically about a couple who have only just met, they know that they have to go separate ways. But when they leave after one day they can't stop thinking about each other" you read out loud. "Sounds great, but why must you Google everything. Just watch it for fuck sake" he laughed as you slammed your phone down. "Fine" you sighed loudly as you watched.

What about the reader performing at the platinum jubilee with anyone you like

You were set to be performing at the jubilee with Ed Sheeran who was a close friend of yours. You were a bag of nerves backstage, you was in your make up and hair chair with your boyfriend appearing behind you and wrapping his arms around you. ‘How are you feeling?’ he asks, gently kissing your shoulder. ‘I’m shitting myself’ you giggle which makes him and your team smile. ‘You’ve got this’ he smiles. One thing about him, he was always your number one fan. As soon as you told him that you were invited to perform, he was instantly telling you ‘I hope you said yes’. He walks you to the stage, giving you a soft kiss on your lips, you taking Ed’s hand as you both walk onto the stage. Your boyfriend was stood at the side of the stage watching you in complete in awe, he could see you take a shaky sigh before you started to sing. You keep your eyes either locked onto Ed or closed as you tried to keep the butterflies at bay. After the show he was posting a photo of you and declaring you as a pop princess and how magical it was.

A/N: Pure Description, No Speech - Also Made James Seem Like A Dick In This. Also Smut References

Masterlist//Dusk Till Dawn Masterlist//Agape Masterlist

Their wet lips clashed against one another, teeth tugging at bottom lips and fingers pulling one another closer. Alcohol and smoke was the bitter taste that tingled the males mouth as he searched the pretty ladies, the one he’s been in love forever, the one he was kissing, the one he was pulling in closer, the one that was tugging his hair. It was the way their tongues searched one another’s mouths as if it’s been there before, knowing every aspect of it. It was the cigarette smoke that the man never liked the taste of, but with her he didn’t mind, as long as he was kissing her he could live forever with that taste on his lips.

It was the way she moaned when he pulled her bottom lip back, the way she moaned his name and no one else’s. It was the way he got her into his room, into his room where they stayed kissing, the kiss that was lingering on his lips with the aftertaste of everything bad. It was the kiss that lead to every confusion…the kiss that made her go.

It was a kiss that they both shared feelings for but neither one said a word. It was a kiss; only a kiss that spoke words. It was the kiss that made Ben go to bed alone whilst Y/n went out. The bed that Ben was falling asleep on whilst Y/n called the a cab…she called for a taxi out in the cold weather, standing in her black little dress that drives Ben crazy…but she wasn’t waiting for him. She didn’t know about Ben’s feelings, nor did he tell her. Y/n fought the kiss was a mistake and now she’s going back to the man she been having sex with the past months.

The man that she was having sex with, stood on the other side of the city, waiting for her to come as he smoke outside his house, whilst she took a drag outside the place Ben was staying at. Ben knew where she was going, course he knew, everyone knew about their little arrangement as James cockily tells everyone how he always sees the heavens when he’s with her, the way she cried out his name as he bites, sucks, kiss and pounds into her, the way her legs go over his shoulder and the way she responds to him. He always says about how she was a freak in the sheets that just deserves to be fucked whilst Ben wanted her to be appreciated for who she was. But alas he couldn’t, for she was heading to James just to be fucked like a doll.

Ben knew they were probably going to bed together now, her back hitting every wall as James carries her to the bedroom, furious kisses shared as he grips onto her tightly, handprint and nail scraps implanting the smooth skin that deserved to be loved instead, moans and grunts would feel the house as the mess of clothes created a pathway to hell. It was a thought that made Ben sick, it was a thought that haunted his mind, and he couldn’t feel asleep anymore. It may have not been having, it may have been all in his head, but he will know in the morning when James calls him up talking all about how he banged the hot chick; how he fucked her through the night. It was a recurring thought that Y/n went to James’ bed out of toxicity – they didn’t love one another but the feeling of one another drove them crazy. It was the fact that Y/n would come to Ben’s bed with love as it was where the feelings were at. But she went to James instead of Ben’s who was laying alone with the thought of her, the thought of her not being loved by the man she’s with as the man who loves her was right here.

The creativity in Ben’s mind drove him to the reality of her touching his chest with softness, tracing every tattoo he has, the tattoos she knows every story too, and within that collection was something that symbolised them even though they were nothing but toxic sex buddies – well they were sort of a couple, but they weren’t – neither one would sleep with anyone else, but they never loved each other. James loves the idea of her whilst Ben loves her entire being. But it doesn’t matter as James takes the dress off, throwing it to the floor as he kisses up her body as she gasps in shock of his devilish lips.

The jealousy that swims into the sea within Ben grows deeper and deeper as he lays in that bed, thinking of a man that is unloving the woman he was with, thinking of her being mistreated, thinking how he could love her if she wasn’t with him. The waves within him crash as it grows higher and higher, forming a tsunami from within as he swims through them.

Maybe if Ben kissed her longer she would be with him rather than the man that was fucking her hard, no gentleness or loving put into it, no reason for her to be pleasured, just for him…all for him. Ben’s destiny was for her to be loved by him…for her to come to him, the right man, and allow him to love him.

But again, she was with James the man who didn’t love the unloved girl as he left her to pick her up her clothes with aftercare afterwards, the pain in her legs shaking as the makeup ran down her face from the tears she cried from the roughness. Her hair a mess as she stumbles out the house, waiting for another cab as she takes a drag, and Ben could only imagine how lonely she felt, how desperate she was to be loved and that’s why she went to James, thinking it was love.

But maybe if she listened she would go back to Ben and kiss him with the passion she shared with him before and realise it was love…love and care that he will treat her right.

But for now she was getting another cab as she leaves James’ another night in the row, and it was the same night that James called Ben to boast about how good she was whilst Ben just thought about their kiss. It was the call that made Ben sick and made him want to see everything clearly and tell Y/n he was in love with her. But for now he’s Mr Brightside who’s trying to find a positive outcome of all this.

But the only positive thought was for Y/n to realise that she wouldn’t need to leave in a mess of pain if she was with Ben, for she would be in his bed of love as he cuddles into her, reminding her that she was enough…

But like every good story, both lovers have to be Mr and Mrs Brightside before coming to the truth.

So for now, Ben listens to James boast whilst Y/n sits in the back of a cab, crying with a cigarette in between her lips.
