The Compromise

“Sidney?” Jess called as she walked up the stairs on Friday afternoon.

“In here babe!” She heard him call back and followed his voice towards the master bedroom. She walked in to find him stripping out of his jeans into a pair of flannel pajama pants and a light grey cotton shirt.

“Going to bed already?” she asked as she stood in the doorway watching with arms across her chest.

“It’s the weekend.”

“Yes, but your pj’s?”

“Our first weekend by ourselves with nowhere to go, no visitors expected, and no parents to disrupt our lives.” Jess chuckled at his explanation for being in his pajamas already. He grinned back at her and walked over to kiss her forehead.

“How was your day at school?” he asked as he stood in front of her. She shrugged her shoulders, and turned towards her old room. She had been sleeping in Sid’s bed all week, but still kept most of her clothes down the hall in the old room.

“It was alright. But next week is going to be rough. I am on my own now.” Sid followed Jess into the spare bedroom.

“Well that is why we are taking this weekend to be completely reclusive. No phones, no thoughts about school, no connection to the outside world. You need to get into your pajamas like me and prepare to veg out. I’ve got a pile of poorly directed and acted movies and stocked the fridge with all of your favorites.” He looked beyond giddy with the idea of being closed off from the outside world with her.

“What you are saying is you got me my pumpkin ice cream even though it is completely fattening all because it will make me happy?” Jess asked as she turned to face him. She had yet to make a move to change out of her cardigan, jean skirt and tights.

Sid laughed and clapped his hands. "That's exactly what I'm saying. It's what a man does. Keeps his woman happy."

Jess rolled her eyes. "His woman, huh?"

He nodded, stepping closer to her. She narrowed her eyes at him and waited for him to move.

"Yeah. You're my woman," he chuckled. "I do whatever you ask me to."

She raised an eyebrow in challenge. "Yeah?"

"Yeah," he answered obediently.

"Then kiss me."

Sidney's cheeks grew a little redder, but he obliged. Leaning in, he placed a soft but meaningful kiss on her lips. She could feel the wetness of his lips against her own ones, and it made something ignite inside of her.

He kissed her again and again, each one growing deeper. Before they could do anything else, their arms were around each other and they were making out. Aggressively.

His arms wove around her middle, pulling her against his body as she wrapped hers around his neck. Their mouths were suctioned together at this point, their tongues mingling frantically. They were a flurry of lips and tongues and teeth and it was like the floodgates had been opened. Outside it was cold and rainy and miserable but Sidney was warm and inviting and everything she wanted. It was overwhelming suddenly, kissing him like this. He moaned against Jess' lips and she knew he felt the same way. His tongue desperately probed her mouth, stroking and attacking her own with such desire it made her knees quake. She fell back onto her bed and pulled him down on top of her. She was suddenly thankful she had convinced her mom to stay home that weekend; they had the privacy that they suddenly desperately needed.

Breaking briefly away from her mouth, Sidney shed his shirt and tossed it haphazardly over his shoulder. Her eyes popped open to see it go flying somewhere behind him. He groaned as he pushed his pelvis against hers, his hard length perfectly arranging itself between her legs. He gazed down at her, the sun behind him illuminating his brown eyes and brown hair for a second through the sheer curtained windows.

He looked like an angel.

A hot, lust-filled angel.

Oh God.

"Sidney," Jess begged, the rest of her words leaving her. She couldn't form them as he lowered himself further down, reuniting their mouths. She could feel the warmth of him through the layer of tights and her skirt. He dragged his mouth from her lips to her ear, sucking on the delicate skin beneath her earlobe like a pro. She arched her back and bit back a mewl of pleasure as his mouth immediately found her sweet spot.

Her eyes opened again to stare up at the cream colored ceiling above them.

He knew.

Of course he knew what would make her wild.

A shiver of pleasure rolled down her spine all the way out to my toes as he continued to suck and bite and tease the sensitive skin. Her core began to ache with need.

"Oh Sidney, yes," she heard herself groan.

He thrust his hip against her again and quickly unbuttoned her cardigan. His hands slid inside the sweater until his fingers were crawling up her bare stomach. His hands were so warm as they trailed up her skin.

"Oh Jessica…oh God, fuck," he muttered against her neck. His lips returned to hers, placing a passionate kiss on them. All the sudden his free hand was at the waistband of her skirt and forcing its way down into her underwear. His fingers were feather light and utterly tantalizing as they finally made contact with her dripping core. She cried out in sheer enjoyment as he stroked her delicate folds in just the right way.

"Oh holy shit," she gasped into his neck. He laughed softly and slipped a finger into her. She turned her head and bit his shoulder as her hoarse voice echoed against the duvet. Again and again he stroked her, knowing every way she liked to be touched and for how long.

He knew how to touch her.

‘He's your boyfriend. Of course he knows,’ a voice deep inside Jess’ brain told her.

Then he added his thumb stroking her clit into the mix and she decided to shut off all parts of her brain.

His warm mouth moved over her neck and jaw and chest until she was so close-

His head jerked up as they heard the doorbell.

"Shit," he gasped, looking over his shoulder.

"What is it?" she panted. She was close. So close.

He gently but quickly ripped his hand out of her underwear and pulled on her arms. She was standing up in a flash, Sid's hands already at the buttons of her cardigan. Her eyes were still blurry with desire as he buttoned her back up and rearranged the skirt around her hips. The doorbell rang again. He exhaled with relief knowing he hadn’t imagined the sound and looked over at her.

"I told my mom not to come up here!"

Jess panted to herself, half out of panic and relief and half out of sexual frustration. Sidney gave her a knowing look and pulled her against his chest. He buried his nose in her hair and inhaled.

"I was….oh my lord," she panted. "That was…"

"Only the beginning. I….I didn't want to stop."

She pulled her head back and looked up at him. "Neither did I," she admitted.

He looked down at her, a faint smile on his lips, "Yeah?"

She nodded, "Yeah."

Sidney leaned down and kissed Jess softly, moaning lightly against her lips, "I will finish this. Later tonight. I didn't know that people would…interrupt. I'm sorry. Will you live?"

Jess shrugged, "Can girls get blue balls?"

Sidney barked a laugh and pulled her tighter against his chest, "I will make it up to you, I promise," he chuckled. They turned and Sid retrieved his missing shirt, smirks dancing between them. He leaned over and placed a kiss on her cheek, "I’ll meet you downstairs. Get changed. It may be the Flowers."

Jess nodded, watched as Sid walked out of the room and began to unbutton the sweater again. But she was cold and it was raining outside and all she wanted was to feel cozy and warm. Her cold weather clothes were in the master, so she sauntered down there retrieved an old flannel shirt and a pair of Sid’s sweats pants. She rolled them a couple times as they were several sizes too big and long, but she didn’t care. She was comfortable. Now she just had to go see what their visitors wanted and hopefully resume what Sid had started just a few minutes before.

***************
“We’re pregnant!” Vero exclaimed about two hours and a shared pizza later. The girls squealed and hugged as Jess asked when she was due.

“In April, oh Jess I am so happy that you are starting to remember things! It caught me completely off guard when you called the other day to go on and on about the wedding. But after we hung up, I cried to Marc and said that we needed to come see you and tell you both in person our good news!”

“Well we are very happy that you wanted to share this news with us.”

“We need to be going, we’re sorry for sticking around for so long,” Marc said as he and Vero stood.
“No it’s fine, we weren’t doing anything,” Sid said getting a pinch to his thigh under the table. He flinched and looked at the angry stare he was getting from Jess. “I’ll show you guys out.”

After seeing the Fleury’s out Sid went back to the kitchen to find it empty. But beyond there he could hear the sounds of the television and saw that Jess had turned on Netflix and started a series of old movies he had never considered watching before. She was getting cozy on the large couch and noticed him as he walked into the room.

“Movie?” Sid asked as he walked around the couch and plopped down next to her.

“Yeah, uh it’s cheesy. Pretty in Pink. I used to obsess over these types of movies,” Jess explained.

“Yeah, I know. We’ve watched cheesy 80s movies countless times,” Sid laughed as he lay back against the couch and pulled Jess down to curl around in front of him. She rested her head on his forearm and felt his warmth surround her.

“Weren’t doing anything my ass,” Jess said causing Sid to laugh into her hair.

“Watch your movie or I am changing it to classic hockey,” Sid challenged. Jess shook with silent laughter and settled deeper into his embrace.

**********
Jess woke up with a small start, forgetting where she was. Another movie was playing now, and it was completely dark out.

Sid's breath was low and even against the bare skin of her neck and she knew he was asleep or close to it. She couldn't blame him – the B-list movie on the screen wasn't anything really intriguing, so it didn't surprise her that they had both drifted off. She arched her back to stretch and her eyes widened as she realized two things.

Sidney was asleep.

Sidney was hard.

Jess froze as she felt his erection nestled against her ass. It was long and thick and warm against the soft fabric of his pants. She had the perfect opportunity to slowly wake him up and finish what they had started earlier that day before the Fleury's stopped by. She could already feel herself growing slightly wet just thinking about the way his fingers has touched and teased her earlier. He had known how to touch her and how to make her shiver with pleasure. It was all so appealing she almost didn't know what to do. It was new and old at the same time, she realized. New for her mind, familiar to her body. She was about to shift again when he inhaled deeply and woke. A pleasant shudder rolled over her body as he placed a wet, lingering kiss on my neck.

"Oh…sorry Jess. I…wow," he mumbled sleepily. "Sorry about that, and…oh God," he muttered embarrassedly, shifting his hips away from her. He realized he had his naptime stiffy pressed into her back and he was obviously mortified.

She turned and looked at him with wide eyes. "It's okay Sid. I…you…you feel good."

She struggled to maintain eye contact after her words, but they seemed to pacify him. "Yeah?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yeah," she nodded "It's alright," she added, reaching up to touch his cheek over her shoulder. He smiled and leaned down, pressing another kiss against her exposed neck. She shuddered again and pressed herself closer, suddenly wanting to feel him – all of him. His free hand roamed up her side, pulling her shoulder over so that he could shift his weight. She glanced up at him and gave him an encouraging nod before lifting her head off the pillow. His eyes drooped slightly before finally pressing his lips against hers. It was slow and feather light, but it made her insides churn with an electricity she was almost afraid of.

Again and again they kissed, slowly getting bolder each time. His tongue languidly touched hers, invading her welcoming mouth. He seemed to melt against her as they kissed wildly, getting more and more frantic with need. They shifted on the couch and all of the sudden he was hovering over her, his knee between her legs. Jess groaned into his mouth and deepened the kiss they were sharing. He smiled against her lips and chuckled. His tongue caressed hers in the softest way it made her want to shatter into a million pieces. Pulling him down, she made him rest completely on top of her so that she could hook her leg around his back and use it to lift up her hips. His weight settled over her like it did before they were interrupted. It felt warm and inviting and right. The first time she ground her pelvis with his he hissed and let his lips fall to her neck.

"Sidney," she whispered, her voice more pleading that She would have cared to admit. She felt his lips turn upwards into a smile against her skin.

"Yes?"

"Don't stop."

"Who said anything about stopping?" He groaned. Sidney placed delicate, lingering kisses on the skin of her neck that seem to tingle all the way down her body to the apex between her thighs. The need was growing stronger to the point where it was almost unbearable and maddening.

Jess wanted more.

Her fingers were clumsy as she reached around and pulled at his worn t-shirt at the spot behind his neck. He grinned and pulled it off, exposing his broad, pale chest to me. She felt another tingling as she took in the masterpiece that was her boyfriend– her Sid. She trailed her hand down his chest, over his pecs, and over his abdomen and the light ripple of smooth muscles that disappeared into his flannel pants. All of the lifting, and running, and time on the ice really paid off; she could hardly fight the urge to explore every crevice. He chuckled and whispered, "Careful, I'm ticklish."

"You are?" she laughed quietly.

He nodded. "Do you want me to stop?" he asked seriously. "I mean it; we can if you want. I know I asked, but…really."

He knew she didn't want him to stop. Her wanton gaze should have told him that. She could barely hide how much she really didn't want him to stop. She shook her head 'no' and gave him an encouraging smile.

Sensing this, he kept himself propped on one hand while the other fumbled with the buttons on the shirt that she wore. Once it was open enough, he pushed it to the side and didn't hesitate to take her nipple into his mouth. Jess' eyes rolled back in her head as Sidney softly sucked and scraped his teeth against her skin in a delicious way.

"Oh…oh God, Sid," she groaned without realizing. He pushed the shirt to the other side and treated the other breast to the same exquisite treatment. She fought to keep quiet as she ground against his knee and revel in the way his mouth was making her feel. His tongue swiped across the turgid peak, teasing and tasting and making her crazy.

"Take it off," Jess pleaded.

Sidney ripped at the buttons, his strong hands making a few pop off and go flying in the process. They both giggled as he pushed the shirt to the side, leaving her top half completely exposed. He kissed down her stomach, down her abdomen, and to the place where his too-large sweatpants were resting on her hips. He glanced up at her through his dark lashes with hooded eyes and gave her a boyish grin.

"Is this okay?"

Jess could only nod and whimper at this point. "How do you know me so well?" she muttered, lifting her hips so that he can pull the pants completely off. "My body remembers you Sid," she whispered.

He looked up at her with need, his brown eyes dilated with lust. She met his gaze and returned it, letting him know how badly she needed him. He clutched his pants in his hand and let his eyes rake down her body that was undulating with desire.

"Please…don't make me beg," Jess whispered urgently.

He chuckled again and tossed them on the floor. Jess was bare to him at that point except for the flannel shirt that was completely unbuttoned; her mind was a little alarmed but her body didn't seem to be. Sidney ran his warm hands down her sides, his strong fingers giving the newly exposed skin the wakeup it needed. Goose bumps popped up on her torso as he slid downwards, pausing to kiss, suck, and lick.

"I love this," he murmured against her skin. The vibration of his deep voice against her hip bone made her thrust her bare center against his knee.

Jess' eyes fluttered shut as he placed a lingering kiss on her hip, his tongue darting out to wet the skin there. He groaned as he dropped his hand between her legs and let his fingers brush her center. He resumed his work from earlier, his light touches and strokes falling on all the right places.

"Shit," he groaned, feeling her wetness. She matched his sentiment completely, her hips thrusting up of their own accord. Glancing down, she saw his eyes flash up to meet hers in question.

"I want you to," Jess muttered.

That was all the encouragement he needed. His fingers worked gently, stroking and touching her most intimate places. It still felt foreign and new at times but so welcome her head was spinning. She let it fall back on the pillow as he slowly achingly slowly found the place she wanted him to touch the most. A pitiful whimper fell from her lips as she felt him begin to circle his thumb over her.

And then…

Fire.

Hot, delicious, soothing fire cascaded over her limbs as Sidney put his tongue on Jess. It circled and lapped at her center as she fought not to writhe too much. She could feel the way his hands gently held her hips in place as he worked to bring her pleasure. His lips were warm and soft as they paused to place a few light kisses on her bud before he swiped his thumb across it again. Sidney's name came tumbling out of her mouth before she could stop it, and she anchored herself by running her fingers through his shaggy brown hair. He groaned against her as she pulled lightly, the vibrations only pushing her further. His hands wrapped around her thighs and he used his new leverage to pull her even closer to him. This new assault on her body was welcomed, and before she knew it she was burning up. He sucked and licked with a new passion as her legs began to quake and pull against his strong arms. But Sidney held on, his mouth sending her over the edge and into the flames. As Jess came she looked down to see him close his eyes and grip her skin tighter. His fingertips were digging into her skin, but she couldn't be bothered to care.

This time, she really did shatter into a million pieces. She fisted his hair in her palm and pulled him as close as two people could get. She exploded against his mouth and the lights in the ceiling blurred before her eyes.

She panted so hard she sounded like she just ran a race. Her body was covered in a thin layer of sweat and her heart was beating loudly in her ears but oh my god did she feel good.

She felt like flying.

Sid rested his head against Jess' naked stomach, his hand pulling away gently. They laid there together for a second, both of them staring at the blue screen on the TV. Finally, he lifted his head up and rested his chin on her abdomen.

"Hi," he said, smiling wolfishly.

She felt herself blush.

"Is it every day you make me come like that with your mouth?" She asked suddenly.

His brown eyes flashed.

"Before the accident," Jess clarified. "Did you do that to me a lot?"

Sid coughed and shifted against the couch. "Whenever you let me, yes." he agreed.

Jess sputtered a laugh and pulled him up to be level with her. "You can always do that from now on," she whispered before pulling his lips to hers.

He groaned into her mouth, his lips as needy as her body felt. They broke apart, nose to nose to stare at each other.

"Sid?"

"Yeah..."

"I love you."
