Chapter 11
I held her close as the sun broke through the windows. There had been no sex that night just a lot of really getting to know each other. We had had such a whirlwind relationship that we had never had the chance to really sit down and talk. I learned so much about her life and her family. I talked about my strained relationship with my dad and how I wished could make it right. We talked about high school and she college. We were just their together and that was all I wanted.
“Sidney?”
“Yes?”
“I really want to thank you for last night. It was nice to just be here with you. I know that this is going to be hard, but I think it will be harder without you.” I snuggled into her kissing her neck and receiving a small groan of appreciation.
“Thats all I want love, you and me. It is all I have ever wanted.”
She adjusted in my arms rolling to face me. Her smile was soft and her eyes still held sleep.
“I slept really good. Do we have to get up. If we start this day then I will have to leave and I don't want to do that.”
“Unfortunately we do. I would love nothing more than to just be here but you have a flight at two and I really want to get some lunch before you go.”
“Can we stop by so I can say bye to Malkin? He was so good to both of us last night and I am glad he talked me off of the ledge.”
“He is a good friend and I don't deserve him.”
“Of course you do. You are a good man Sidney. You are.” she laughed up as I groaned sinking my head into my elbow.
“I try but I always fuck things up, I always push people away.”
“You didn't push me away. You were willing to give all of this up, for me.”
“I would do it everyday if that is what it took. You are more important to me that all of this.”
“I know and I am glad you feel that way but I want to date Sidney Fucking Crosby and if you give it up you want be him anymore.”
I laughed at the seriousness on her face. Her smile was endearing and then she kissed me on the mouth.
“Shower?”
“Yes, please.” she answered. She blushed a dark red as i pulled her from the bed carrying her to the bathroom.
I pulled my shirt over my head and reached for her. She molded against my body. I kissed her softly on the top of her head then released her and turned on the shower. The multiple shower heads had been the best thing I had put into the house. I watched her pull her clothes off and step into the shower. She visibly relaxed into the hot streams of water. I shucked my gyms shorts and climbed in behind her. A soft kiss to her shoulder was what i had intended, but my body wanted more. I bit down on her collarbone caused her to groan and lean back into me.
“I want you.” I spoke into her ear, taking her earlobe and rolling it between my teeth. Her skin broke out in chills and she slowly turned to face me. Her hands following the curve of my chest and ran up to my wet curls.
“You already have me.” she smiled and pulled my mouth down to hers. I ran my tongue over her lips asking for entrance and it was granted immediately. I traced her teeth and tasted her. My hands made their way south and I caught her ass. Lifting her so she could wrap her legs around me. I pushed her into the wall of the shower. She flinched as the cold granite touched her skin.
“You ok?” i asked concerned.
“Its cold, warm me up.”
“I plan on it.”
I lowered to my knees pushing her legs up over my shoulders to gain access to her slit. She opened to me and i sucked her clit into my mouth. The wiggle was instantaneous.
“Sidney Fucking Crosby.” she moaned. I liked hearing that come off of her lips, well at least in this situation.
I moved my tongue back and forth over her clit while I sucked gently. Her legs tightened around my head and she came into my mouth. Her body shook and twisted. I held on tight to her.
I raised my eyes looking up to her face and gained a smile.
“How do you do that to me, every time like I have no control over my body.”
“Thats my goal.” I lowered her to her feet running my tongue up the middle of her body. Stopping to trace a circle around her belly button. I moved to the swell of her breasts, taking one nipple into my mouth running my tongue over it. It hardened into my mouth jutting out and reaching for my tongue. I rolled her other nipple in my fingers molding her breast into my hands. I pulled my mouth from her and went for her mouth. The kiss was hungry. It told me so many things about what she wanted. I wrapped her into my arms kissing her slowly along her neck. I felt her hands running over my ass and up to my lower back.
“You know you have a fantastic ass.” she smiled into my cheek. Her mouth was over my ear lobe biting down and causing a sharp tingling to travel up my body. I pushed against her, pinning her to the wall. I forced my fingers between her closed thighs and gained entrance. She rolled her hips against me enjoying the touch, the feeling.

Stephanie’s
Point of view
His sideways smile always made my heart melt. The way the right side of his smile raised a little higher than the left. A childish grin, that told so much about him. He moved his fingers slowly inside of me. I ran my hands back to his ass giving him a squeeze. His eyes crossed over to me and the grin I received was priceless.
“Please.” I begged him.
He moved into a better position, and guided himself into me. He filled me to point of pain and I had to make him stop. I was so worked up that I couldn't relax. I wanted this to be perfect as I knew that it would be awhile before i could be in this position again.
“Wait.” I pleaded.
“You ok?”
“Just need a second.” I nodded into the crook of his neck.
He kissed me softly and slowly trying his best not to move. I kissed him back adjusting my hips to better accommodate him. He moved slowly, pulling back. His breath came out in a shutter.
“You feel so good.” he rasped against my face
The slow rhythm sustained us for several minutes. .
The warm water cascaded over his back leaving me in a cold wet zone. I wasn't going to complain. After yesterday I needed this. I needed the closeness that we were sharing. I wanted to be here. To stay here with him, but I knew that it wasn't the right time. He needed to concentrate on hockey. I know he said that he would give it all up but I would never ask him to do that. The smile on his face when he was on the ice, the closeness to his teammates, they were important to him.
His kiss pulled back into the moment. His full lips covered mine and I felt his teeth as he sucked my bottom lip into his mouth.
“Sidney, I love you.”
“There are no words to tell you how I really feel.” He breathed through our kiss.
“Just keep doing what you are doing. Thats enough.” I giggled
“You want to giggle right now?” he questioned me.
“It was fun...” He cut me off with a sharp thrust that sent me into a wild orgasm. I shuddered into his body and couldn't help the tears that flowed down over my face. Thankfully we were in the shower, so he didn't notice.
His movements were jerky and I knew he was close, I also knew that he was trying his best to hold back to make the moment last a little longer.
“Come with me Sidney, Please.” That was all it took as he shoved into me and exploded.
Our ragged breathing calmed slowly as he slid me down the wall. I placed my feet on the floor knowing that this would be the end of this weekend.
“Please don't go, please just stay a few more days. I need you to stay.”
He pulled me against his strong chest wrapping me into his arms. I watched as the muscles of his arms flexed each time he squeezed me closer.
“Sidney I want to. I want to have this everyday, I just need time to figure all of this out. I need to figure out how I will work into your lifestyle. There is obviously no ocean here and I will miss that. Can we just be us for now. Just you and me, just for now.”
“Yes”

Sidney’s point of view.

I didn't want to let her go. I wanted to hold her and make sure she was mine. I knew I had to let her go. I also knew that this wasn't a breakup but more like a time out. She loved me and wanted to be here.
“Sidney don't look so upset. I just have a little soul searching to do. You know my dad is going to push me to be with you, at least you have him on your side.” she giggled as I washed her hair. The water was starting to turn cooler as the minutes past but it seemed like neither one of us wanted to leave the comfort of this shower.

A few hours later I was standing watching her walking away. Geno wrapped his arm around my shoulders “She be back.”
“I know man, I know. It just doesn't make her leaving any easier.”
“Go home sleep, meet for shooting in morning.”
“OK thanks for coming down today. She really thinks a lot of you.”
“I love she. She great girl, hot too.” I punched him in the shoulder.

The next few days were the hardest of my life. I had gotten the girl. lost the girl and had her leave and I still hadn't recovered from it.

A few weeks later,I was lost at practice enough to make coach pull me aside.
“Are you even fucking here Sid?”
“Yeah, I’m here just have a lot going on.”
“We have a game in less than a week, I need my Captain to be on his game. I need you to be here.”
“I got it.”
I stood walking out of his office. I knew that I had to get my head in the game but it had become impossible. I thought about Steph all the time. I wondered what she was doing and when I was going to see her again. I had invited her and her dad to the first 3 games, since they were all at home. She just didn't give me a definite answer and it crushed my heart. SHe had explained that it was the end of the season and they had a ton of work with the restaurant. She wanted to come but just didn't think that would be a great time. I felt her slipping away and i knew i had to get her here. I couldn't make the trip down to North Carolina right now. I could but I didn't want to compromise my team with my personal endeavors. I made several phone calls, made some quick plans then called Steph.

“Hi” she answered on the first ring
“I need to see you. It has been too long. Are you sure that it cannot be worked out?”
“We are just swamped here. It is hard to close down half of the restaurant.”
“I hope it not my side?” I laughed into the phone.
“If I was standing near you Sidney Fucking Crosby I would hit you.”
“Well you’re not.”
“I want to come there I do, I just can't run out on all this work.”
“Well you see Sidney fucking Crosby is good for something.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Jonathon will be down tomorrow and will do the work so you and your dad can have break. You are coming to Pittsburgh whether you like it or not.”
“You called Jonathon?”
“No actually I called Josh who told Jon he was coming down. It worked out rather nicely. Actually, Josh is coming into Pittsburgh for the first game then heading down to help him.”
“You conniving son of a bitch.” she laughed.
“That would be me. See you in a few days. I will send the flight instructions to you and you can pick up your tickets at the airport in Wilmington. I love you Stephanie Proulx.”
“I love you too Sidney, but you are an ass sometimes.”
“Oh you wound me.”
“Well at least I know I can still get you even a thousand miles away.”
“Oh you got me. You got me the first time I looked into those chocolate brown eyes of yours, sitting at the bar with Gronk.”
I laughed as I hung up the phone.
“Hey Geno, I called from the training room.”
He stuck his head around the door looking in then slowly walking over to me.
“Steph is coming down for the week.” I smiled
“That good. I missed she.” he smiled back.
“SHe will be here on Tuesday so we can grab dinner.”
“OK I let Kat know.”

I was so excited Icouldn't contain myself. I stood in the baggage claim with my Reebok hat pulled low down over my eyes, trying my best to be as low key as I could.
I saw her as she came down the walkway. She smiled brightly and took off running towards me.
“SIDNEY!” she shouted.
I wrapped her in my arms kissing the side of her face over and over. I had waited almost a month for this.
“Mr. Proulx.” I reached for his hand shaking it.
“Let’s get your things and we will get settled. We are having dinner with Malkin, Tanger, Flower and Nealer tonight. I thought your dad would enjoy that.”
“He will be star struck for sure.”
I chuckled at her then steered her toward the baggage escalator.
There were a few hushed words as I walked by and then it happened. I was surrounded by people. Stephanie stood by my side taking it like a champ. I signed all kinds of things, from tickets to a Flyers hat. I joked with the man explaining that I was only doing that because he would be wearing that hat to a Flyers game with my name on it. He had blushed and turned walking away. I had to bow out gracefully and find Mr. Proulx. He had retrieved the bags and stood quietly while all of the action had taken place.
“You guys ready?” I asked
The car ride was nice.
“Maybe I should stay with Josh tonight. Give you kids some privacy.” I glanced over at Steph and she blushed.
“You are more than welcome to stay with us I have a large house.” he was on the phone before I could finish my sentence.
“Drop me off at the Marriott. I am staying with Josh and apparently I have the room for the entire week.”
“Well thats a bummer, I was looking forward to awkward breakfasts with my girls dad.” I chuckled under my breath. I got a slap across the chest for the comment but Mr. Proulx was laughing along with me.
“Stephanie you are a grown woman and I know you guys want to spend some time together.”
“Dad, just don't.”
He laughed again pulling a loud laugh from me.

I pushed her into the wall covering her mouth with mine.
“Sidney please.”
“You already begging?” I chuckled
“I just need to go potty and just sit for a minute.”
I looked to her pulling my mouth to the side deciding if I should be hurt by that comment.
“OK” I backed off and watched as she dragged her bag to my room and shut the door. I guess her taking her things into my room was a good thing.
I sat on the couch flipping channels. I felt her hands come down over my chest and a soft whisper tickled my ear. “You ready cowboy?”
I ran my hands up her arms. “For what?” I asked still watching the NHL news on sports center.
“For this.” she walked slowly around the couch in a black silk nighty. I pulled back looking her over again. “Your dad was going to be here?” I questioned.
“You aren't the only one that is conniving.” she smiled down on me as she lowered herself to me. She sat astride me grinding her hips into me. “ I couldn't wait another minute Sidney.” she purred on to my mouth.
I pulled her down to me wrapping my hands into her hair. the kiss was exactly what I had been waiting on, I felt my body relax for the first time in weeks. SHe reached and pulled my shirt over my head and kissed down my chest. My dick was released next and she covered me with her mouth. Taking me to the hilt. my hips bucked off of the couch at the sudden assault of her mouth. “Stephanie” I moaned as she continued to move over me. I pulled at her trying to get her up and over me. I entered her quickly and moved too fast for what I had planned. We came together and slumped to the couch.
The afternoon nap had been just what the doctor had ordered. I woke to her trailing her finger over my brow. I had scars, tiny but they were there. “What is this one from?”
“Took a stick to the brow when I played with the Oceanic.”
“and this one?” she questioned
“Feel off the swing set.” she laughed loudly.
“I guess they all can't be cool hockey scars huh?”
“No I protect my grill.” I grinned up at her.
“Your grill? where did you pick that up, Jersey?” she laughed again and I couldn't help but just look at her. She was as happy as I was in this moment.
“We had better get up and dressed. Shower?”
“Really Sidney? If we get in the shower we will never make it.”
“I promise to be good.”
“Sure you won’t” she laughed and grabbed a towel swatting me on the ass as I walked by stripping clothes and doing a little dance for her. The joy in her eyes was overwhelming.
I washed her in the shower enjoying running my fingers over her sun kissed body. My pale one made us both chuckle. “I play indoors, I can't help it.”
“And your from Canada.” she poked me in the chest.
“And what?” I asked her.
“There is nothing wrong with being a little on the white side. Maybe we can work on that tan next summer.”
“Oh look who is making plans for the future now.”
“You are my future Crosby and you know it.”
I hugged her to me kissing her softly.
“I am glad you feel that way.”
“I always have just needed some space to make sure.”
“You are sure now?”
“Absolutely.”
I smiled and exited the shower handing her her towel over the glass door.
“Geno has been talking about you for days.”
“I love Geno!” she raised her voice.
“Good to know, should I be worried?”
“Nope” she smiled.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” she reached up kissed me softly then grabbed her bags from the floor reaching for dress bag.
“What would be appropriate for tonight?”
“We are going to the Morton’s so something nice. I walked into the closet pulling on my clothes and exited looking her over. She was bent over drying her hair and I couldn't help but walk up and grab her ass.
“Sidney!” she shouted.
“Sorry it is just such a nice ass and it was stuck up in the air for the taking, just figured I shouldn’t miss the opportunity, as it presented itself.”
She grabbed her dress and shoes and disappeared behind a closed bathroom door. I sat on the bed waiting. “We need to go soon.” I shouted through the door after about thirty minutes.
The door opened and she walked out. She had on a low cut black dress, and heels. My mouth dropped open. She had swept her hair up into some kind of twisty thing but she had missed several pieces that laid around her face.
“You look amazing.”
“Thank you.”
As she turned to walk towards the door I noticed that the back was completely open showing the dimples that I loved so much.
