In Your Eyes

He practically carried Piper up the steps of her front porch. She tried to struggle, but Sid knew that she knew it was no use. He liked to think that she actually enjoyed the useless struggle, but only half as much as he did.

They moved onto the front deck, their arms roaming all over each other as they tried to make the steps one by one. Reaching the top, Piper pushed Sid against the railing of the deck, undoing his belt buckle.

“Fuck, I’ve missed you” he moaned. He kissed Piper's forehead as she looked down, her hands working his belt free.

Piper lifted her mouth to kiss him quiet. “You and your…damn Canadian-ness” she said breathlessly between kisses.

Feverishly, they resumed their way across the porch. It was still only mid-morning and neither of them had had much sleep, but no one would be able to tell at that moment. They'd each been too excited for today, but that excitement was only superseded by their need for one another. Their mouths couldn't separate for more than a few seconds to come up for air, but whenever they did - they both stared at one another, happiness in their eyes.

When they reached the front door, Sid pressed Piper firmly up against it, reaching for the door knob. He fumbled, his thick forearm curled around Piper's waist while the other loosely grasped at her neck.
“The door handle, Sid” she whispered, and he laughed.

“I’m trying, I’m trying.” He looked at her, eyes lowering to her plump lips begging to be kissed and kissed well. Desire came back to him quickly and his mouth locked onto her neck, trailing deep kisses down the delicate curve of her flesh.

As difficult as it was, Piper reached behind her and tried to help with the door handle. Twisting it a few times, it finally opened with a start. The couple stumbled inside, not bothering to shut the door.

They bumped into her kitchen counter, spun slightly and walked backwards, then bumped into the entryway of the living room. Sid laughed, his mouth close to Piper's, his eyes heavy with lust. With a few clumsy steps, they finally fell onto her couch with Piper on top. She ran her hands eagerly through Sid's black hair as they kissed. In a quick movement, he flipped Piper over and regained position over top of her.

“Ahh yes” Sid said with a devilish grin, “this is more like it.”

“Mmm, you like having control don’t you” she murmured playfully.

Sid nibbled her bottom lip. “You would know it." He flashed his flawless grin at her, and she melted at the sight. Her arms wrapped around his back and shoulders, holding him tight as Sid went back to covering any exposed skin with his lips.

Piper lay back helpless. Every sensation was better than the next. He smelled good, really good. His hair was soft between her fingers, his lips even softer as they worked their way down her stomach. The chill of the morning air played against her skin when he lifted her shirt up, and more goosebumps prickled over her when she saw Sid glance up. He held her gaze and very, very lightly flicked the tip of his tongue at the soft skin just below her bellybutton.

She exhaled; warm need spreading through her body.

The sight of him.
The feel of him.
The scent of him.
......it was all creating quite a mess in her panties.

"Don't do that" she lied, watching him flick his tongue like he was. "Not unless my pants are off."
"What are you doing wearing pants, anyways?"

"Thought it was your job to get rid of them" Piper said, but Sid was already crawling back up and silencing her with his hungry kiss.

He had her pinned with his heavy body while his hands worked at the button of her jeans. They moved adeptly for their size, releasing the tightness about her waist while his mouth gave her something to focus on.

Piper slid her hands up Sid's lower back and beneath his navy blue polo shirt. Rock hard without an ounce of softness to it, her hands felt the rise and fall of his back muscles while she slid the hem of his shirt up. She breathed hard against the side of Sid's face feeling cool air hit her bare thighs as he forced her pants down.

Sid lifted one of her legs up to his shoulder, kissing slowly from her ankle…down the curve of her calf to the wider curve of her thigh, lingering just long enough at her inner thigh to make her moan. "You like that?"

"You suck" Piper said. She was waiting…wanting…needing his mouth to keep going.

He could tell how wet she was for him just from looking at the dampened lace of her panties. It made his hunger grow, as well as his dick. His hand slid along the folds of her pussy beneath the lace while he lowered himself down onto her. When Piper moaned this time, he watched her. When he slipped a finger beneath the fabric and inside her tightness, he watched her close her eyes and moan again. Sid kissed the corner of her open mouth as he pushed further inside.

"Sid…"

"Captain."

The bright green of her eyes appeared. Her smile slowly spread over her face. "Captainaghhh…"

He slid another finger inside, doing his best not to pull his cock out and shove it in and skip all of this. "You want my dick inside you, baby?"

Piper moaned softly, almost a whimper, feeling Sid's large fingers pressing back against the wall of her pussy. He hit the spot that made her moan turn into a cry.

Sid kissed under Piper's jaw, feeling her moans vibrate against his lips. "Not sure if you're even ready to take me…" he whispered.

"I am" Piper pleaded. She sunk her fingers into his hair and held tight. "I am, Sid, please…"

"Please what?" He coaxed another moan from her with his fingers.

"Please fuck me…"

Hearing her say it made him want it too much to ignore. With a soft pop, Sid's fingers slid free and went to work unzipping and yanking his jeans and boxers off. Lifting the shirt up and over his head, he fell on top of her and pressed his swollen cock against her wetness.

That's when Piper felt dizzy as fuck. It was like the room was spinning, but she was very firmly held in place by the mass of Sidney's body. He knew what he was doing and he was doing it well…like everything else he did. When he didn't immediately push himself inside, Piper got impatient. "Don't be such a tease." Her voice was loud and full of energy."Fuck me."

"Turn over, then."

She bit her lip. "I thought you'd never ask."

Sid watched as Piper flipped onto her stomach, the flawless round of her ass perched high for him and her back dipped as she held on to the armrest of her couch. When she tossed her wavy hair over one shoulder and looked back at him, it was game over.

He climbed on top of her, overtaking her in both size and weight…yet her body was a perfect fit beneath his. With his hands grasping her trim waist, Sid pushed himself inside and felt the familiar snug fit of Piper's body. It made him sigh, leaning forward to kiss Piper's temple. His back fit perfectly in the dip of hers. "Did I mention I missed you…" he moaned.

Piper couldn't answer. She was too focused on his thickness as he pushed deeper inside until his entire length was buried. Lowering her head and closing her eyes, she held on to the edge of the couch as Sid began his rhythmic thrusts. He went slow at first, but then quickly increased his pace that caused their breathing to become uneven. "Oh fuck" she uttered between moans. "Fuck you feel good, Sid…"

He pushed harder and deeper. "Captain."

Piper grit her teeth. "Captain..."

He growled and reached a hand beneath her, twisting at one of her hard nipples and getting yet another pleasure-filled response from her. He slid that same hand up to her throat to hold her as he pumped. He felt Piper's mouth move over his thumb and then felt her lips wrap around it.

It was all really too much for Sid, but he was well-versed at delayed gratification. He could've busted then and there; the feeling of Piper's warm mouth sucking at his thumb while her warm, wet depths pulled at his dick. "Shit." Her insides were like liquid fire, and he was slowly losing the battle.

Piper was holding on as Sid pounded her, her breasts moving hard with every purposeful thrust. She couldn't control the gasps that came to her. The tremendous feeling around and inside her made her feel like her every sense was heightened. Sid's cologne now mixed with his feral scent that awakened some animalistic need inside her. Turning as far as she could towards him, Piper lifted a hand to Sid's face and rested her forehead on his. His ragged breath matched hers, their mouths close but never touching. Their bodies moved together, untamed and uninhibited.

"Sid…" she whimpered, her mouth open as she felt him sliding in and out. "So good…"

"You are..." He kissed her, but couldn't hold it from his labored breathing. "You're everything, baby…" It was only a matter of time now, and he felt the pressure rising inside him. He grabbed onto her face and held her. "Look at me." Her eyes were full and focused on his as she moaned. He kissed her, nearing his release. "I want to see you when I cum."

Piper could've said she loved him in that moment, but she knew better. She felt it, but she felt everything in that moment. Sidney was so intense. His eyes bore into her, his need written all over his beautiful face. Luckily, Piper didn't have a chance to say much as Sid locked his mouth onto hers and she felt him plant himself as far inside her as he could.

Sid's release rocketed through him and his body literally shuddered. He thought he couldn't get much higher with Piper, but this round proved him wrong yet again.

They collapsed in a heaving pile on the cushions, hardly able to move. Piper tried to regain some composure, but there was no way it was happening. She was putty in his hands, and she hadn't even had an orgasm.

"Holy shit, what happened" Sid said, exhaling a laugh. He wiped back the loose curls that had fallen limp over his forehead.

"I'll tell you what happened." Piper looked up and smiled. "You just fucked me the way I've been wanting - no, needing - to get fucked."

Sid laughed, and it went dangerously close to his childlike giggle. "I'm sorry, you're just so….so perfect." He checked to see if she thought that was lame. "I can let myself go with you."

Piper kissed him softly. "Then you better never stop, because I'll never stop you."

He rolled off, and she felt the immediately relief from his tremendous weight. With his arms, Sid cupped her naked body and pulled her into him. If she noticed nothing else at that moment, she noticed the veins that circled his biceps, raised and prominent from the work they'd just done. Piper moved her head sideways, giving one of those biceps a kiss. When she glanced up, she started to laugh.

Sid's brow crinkled. "What?!"

"Your hair."

He responded by patting at it. "What's wrong with it?"

"It looks like a fluffy mess." She placed a soft kiss on his sweaty chin. "And I like it."

When he kept patting at it, Piper had to swat his hand away to keep him from ruining it. They shared a laugh, and then a kiss, and then a blissful sigh.

"I'm glad I'm here." Sid said this as he looked into her eyes. "And I'm glad you decided to come with me to Pittsburgh...at least for a little while."

"What happens if I don't leave?"

His smile spread wider. "Then I would officially be the luckiest guy in the world."

"Says the man with a thousand trophies and awards" Piper joked.

Sid wanted to tell her that he forgot about all of that when he was with her. He wanted to tell her how she'd been rubbing off on him, and that he was enjoying the slightly more relaxed state he'd been living in the past few weeks....all thanks to her. He felt this even moreso when he was in Bar Harbor with her; he felt anonymous and normal. She didn't treat him the way most would, or would like to...that didn't seem to be a part of Piper's agenda from day one. She had been as consistent as he'd hoped, and it made him tremendously happy inside.

He was debating saying all of this when a sound came from the front of the house. Both Piper and Sid moved to look at one another, but only Piper's face seemed alarmed.

"Piper! You there, girl!?!?"

"Ohmigod." Piper leapt up to quickly, she almost knocked Sid in the nose with her elbow. He fell onto his stomach as she desperate tried to gather her clothes.

"Hello? You-hooooo...anyone home?"

The sound of the front screen door creaked and Piper grabbed a blanket from her sofa chair and tossed it at Sid. "Here! Do.....do something...with that." She waved at his dick, which was still coming down from being hard.

"Who is it?" he whispered, trying to ball the blanket up over his waist.

"COMING, DANI - JUST WAIT OUT THERE PLEASE." Piper frantically slipped her shirt on over her braless self, pulled her jeans up without putting her panties on, and finished buttoning them just as she met Danika in the doorway between the kitchen and the living room.

Dani took a look at Piper. "What's up? Were you busy? You left your door open, ya know--"

Piper turned her friend around and lead her back into the kitchen. She hoped in those moments, Sid would take that time to put his clothes back on. "Yeah, um - listen, maybe this isn't a good time?" She pushed her hair back out of her face, exhaling hard to push her bangs back with them.

There was a moment of hesitation, and then Dani moved her eyes down Piper's body. She saw how disheveled her best friend looked; from the crooked shirt to the pants that had one cuff slightly rolled up and the belt still undone. When she moved her eyes back up, Piper smiled guiltily.

"Oh my god" Dani gasped quietly.

Piper continued to smile, curling a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Where is he?" Dani asked, her voice now hushed. "Is he still here?"

With her finger, Piper pointed over her shoulder at the living room and Dani's mouth fell open.

"He's here??"

"Hey! Sorry!"

Both girls turned to see Sid standing in the door frame connecting the two rooms. He was fully dressed now, much to Piper's delight. He approached, hand extended towards Dani.

"Sidney Crosby. Nice to meet you."

Dani limply shook his hand, her eyes wide and unmoving. "Hi...."

"You must be Danika?"

She nodded, still shaking his hand. Piper politely pulled Dani's hand away from his and nudged her back to reality. "Yes, this is her, Sid."

"Nice to meet you" Dani finally replied. When she looked at Piper now, she wore a dazed expression as if she'd just found out she won the lottery.

Piper simply smiled.

* * *

They had lunch downtown together at Piper and Dani's usual spot. Piper figured if they were going to get to know one another today, they should at least do at a place they enjoyed and she knew Sid would love.

They were seated outside the cafe, taking up a circular mosaic stone table and the three wrought iron chairs that surrounded it. Flanking them was a tall line of hedges that blocked them from the busy street and gave their area a more private feeling.

Sid and Piper sat closest to each other while Danika sat across, forming the observatory point of their little triangle. She watched Sidney's every move, wondering just how a guy of his bulk and size could also be so unpretentious and sogorgeous. It's like he was clueless to his own handsomeness, and she couldn't look away. He had one of the most alluring mouths she'd ever seen, and his eyes were as unique in their shape and size. Not to mention his cheekbones seemed to be carved out of stone.

And for a hockey player, her sure has perfect teeth, she thought, taking a sip of her green tea. Surely some of those are fake? I see a tiny scar on his chin, though…...

Dani realized she was flat out staring at him, but she didn't care. For all she knew, Sidney was watching her do it and she still didn't bother to pretend she was doing otherwise.

Another thing Dani noticed was just how happy Piper was. In fact, she wasn't sure she'd ever seen her friend look the way she did around a guy she was dating before....at least not to this extent. The way she leaned into Sid, and how he spoke to her as if they were the only two in the room. It was actually quite precious. Danika approved 200%, if not more.

"So Piper said you met in college?" Sid asked Dani. He played with the straw sticking out of his lemon water, tapping it casually against the bottom of the glass, but his eyes never left Dani's. He was studying her as much as she'd been studying him. He was no stranger to the degree that a best friend could judge a boyfriend in order to protect their friend and was doing everything he could to win her approval. Despite this, Sid was still just as curious to meet the woman who, in all likelihood, had heard about his best and worst moments up to this point.

"At a summer yoga retreat" Dani answered. Her and Piper made eyes at one another and both started to giggle. "Wemay have been the only two there who broke the 'no personal pollutants' suggestion."

Piper tapped Sid's forearm. "Yeah, get this - three weeks spent at the retreat, and they actually thought students approaching their senior year weren't going to drink or have a good time." She saw his surprised look and laughed. "No, for real. Personal pollutants."

"Is a real thing?" Sid nodded. "So you two were rebels, eh?"

Dani smiled. "We were. We're pretty tame now."

The girls had a knowing look in their eyes that made Sid believe otherwise. He watched as they began to recount their first memories of one another, discovering just how in tune they both were with one another. Danika was built very similarly to Piper: equal in height and weight, but with long, straight blond hair and eyes that rivaled even the bluest of gemstones. They sparkled as she spoke, and found her to be refreshingly funny. He hoped as much, especially when they'd finally met on such unexpected terms.

"So that's when I knew I loved this girl" Danika said, ending their story together. "It's been bliss ever since."

"Well can I just add something here?" Sid asked, placing a hand on Piper's crossed thighs. "I just wanted to thank you for being such a good friend, and for giving her the chance to come visit me because you're a good friend. I know it probably hasn't been easy."

Piper met Dani's bewildered stare. Her expression said it all: who is this guy, and does he have any family members was Piper's interpretation.

"I, um...." Dani tried to come up with a reasonable response to something so confusing as a hot guy, who was apparently some sort of superstar, who didn't act like it, and was perfectly normal and nice. "Well, it was nothing" she said quickly, realizing both Piper and Sidney were staring at her. "Really. I trust her, and she trusts me. The best relationships are built on trust, right?"

Sid and Piper smiled at one another. "Right" they said in unison.

Two waitresses came then, delivering their lunch choices. Of the three of them, Sid had ordered the most. Both girls stared as he wasted no time attacking the sandwich he ordered. Pieces of flank steak, arugula, and brie stuck out from the bread, and Sid wasted none of it.

Dani blinked. "Dayuum."

Sid glanced up, mid-bite.

"Go ahead, sorry" Dani said with a smile. "Just admiring someone who cares nothing for calories."

Piper laughed. "He burns like 8000 a day, Dan."

"Not to mention the extra 2000 he burned this morn--" She halted, eyes going wide. "Ohmigod, I'm sorry, Sid..."

He started to laugh, but covered his mouth with his cloth napkin. "It's okay, I like it" he mumbled, still chewing. "Besides - you were only off by a thousand calories." Sid winked at Piper, who managed to blush minimally.

The truth, though Sid wouldn't put voice to it, was that he had every intention of going another round with Piper when he got her alone again. He was famished from a morning with hardly any food, an intense fuck, and now was his chance to recharge.

"So you're in town for a few days, then you're going with him?" Dani posed the question to both, but she looked at Piper.

"Yes indeed" Piper answered. "My first hockey game and everything. Plus I'll get to see Ali's digs and hang out a little more with her." She scratched the back of Sid's neck as he ate. "Should be fun, huh?"

"I can't wait to bring you to the arena." Sid flicked his eyes in Dani's direction. "That makes me wonder when you're coming down to visit?"

Danika let out a surprised laugh. "Me?!? Come to Pittsburgh?" She looked between the couple. "What for?"

"To see a game" Sid replied simply. "Do you know Ali, too?"

"Never met the girl….." Dani smiled. "But I saw pics of her and husband and I say again: daaayuumm."

Sid laughed. "Well for whatever reason you decide to come visit - I'd be happy to get you tickets."

Piper was quietly munching on her quinoa salad, observing how engaging Sidney was. It was obvious to her that Dani was fighting an inner battle between shrieking in awe over it at the table, or dragging her into the restroom to do it. Instead, her best friend remained composed just enough to hold back how dumbstruck she was by the dichotomy that was Sidney Crosby.

Looking down at her watch, Dani shrieked for a totally different reason. "Good god - I almost forgot about my 1 o'clock class!" She stood up and gathered her bag that had been resting against one leg of her chair. "Do you guys mind if I chat and run like this?"

"Really??" Piper looked at her friend smartly. "Look who you're asking, here."

Dani palmed her forehead. "Duh. Right?" She stepped over towards Sid and held out her hand. "This is not the last time I see you."

Sid actually stood up and hugged her, and Piper was floored by the amount of affection she was feeling for him in that moment.

"I'm holding you to it" Sid teased, his crooked smile growing. "So nice to meet you."

"Sorry about earlier, by the way." She frowned in Piper's direction. "A story for the ages, huh?"

Sid and Piper smiled at one another. When Sid saw Dani digging in her wallet for money to pay, he closed her wallet for her. "Don't worry about it, I got it."

"Huh?"

"Lunch" Sid said. "It's on me."

Dani's shoulders slumped as she stuck one foot out. "Piper - is he actually for real?"

"100%, I swear!" She watched Dani and Sid hug one more time.

"Thank you, Sidney."

"My pleasure." He sat in his chair, scooting it slightly closer to Piper as he felt her hand slide over his high.

"Love you, girl!"

Piper waved. "Love you!"

Dani waved at the both of them and then hurried back through the main building of the cafe and out onto the street.

The couple looked at one another, and Piper leaned forward to kiss Sid. "Thank you." She kissed him once more. "You're truly the best."

Their eyes met and their foreheads pressed together, and Sid truly thought he may never leave Maine.

* * *

Piper nestled her head in the crook of Sid's bare shoulder, feeling the softness of his touch as he ran his fingers up and down her arm. He watched her quietly, the breeze coming in through the window just barely cooling their hot bodies.

"What do you want to do now?" she asked, a smile playing across her face. "If you can move, that is."

"Oh I can move." He wiped her damp bangs back, only to watch them fall forward once more. "Question is - can you?" Her reaction was priceless, of course. She poked him in the stomach right where she knew he was ticklish, and he couldn't even hold back his laughter. "Damn you."

"Damn you!" She sat up, taking in his full image. "Damn you for taking advantage of me a second time today."

"I heard no complaints."

"Too many moans, that's why…."

Their mouths pressed together and Sid closed his eyes, wanting nothing more than to feel her soft lips brushing against his. When she drew back he almost went with her, not wanting the kiss to end.

"I have something for you" she said quietly. "Care to indulge me?"

He grinned. "Absolutely."

Piper wiggled out of his arms and stretched across the spanse of his wide torso. Sid felt her soft breasts slide over his chest, pressing against him as she reached towards the end table. He straightened her hair out along her back, waiting as she rummaged through the top drawer. As she slid back over him, he saw a clear cd case in her hand. "What's that?"

"I made this….just for you."

There was elation in her tone and in the green of her eyes as she handed over the cd. Sid cracked open the front and saw a homemade playlist on a card within.

Piper watched with all the joy in the world as Sid's expression lit up once he read some of the songs.

"Is this all the music you said you'd share with me?"

She nodded. "Not all, but some. What do you think?"

Sid laughed. "I, uh….I don't know any of these artists or the songs--"

"--Good!" Piper slid up to one side of him, resting her head on the pillow as Sid ran through the titles of the songs.

"You put a lot on here…"

"You need a lot of experience."

She smirked at him and Sid loved it. "This is really cool, Piper. Thank you."

"Can we listen now?"

Before Sid could answer, she snatched the case from his hands. His eyes drew down her shapely body as she walked over to where her stereo was. Her hair was slightly messy from their recent romp, but it was beautiful to him. The uneven layers and subtle waves and highlights couldn't possibly look bad, even if it was a mess. Her even skin tone, the dimples at the low of her back, the curve of her ass leading down to trim legs…..it was everything Sid could have wanted. But the look Piper gave him when she pressed play was what he loved about her.

"Get excited" she said, turning the volume up slightly.

And her personality is the most beautiful thing about her, Sid thought. He opened his arms once more as she climbed back into bed, folding into his embrace just as comfortably as before.

As the music filled the small bedroom, they listened quietly. Sid absorbed the funky beat and the interesting tempo of this first song…and much to his surprise, he liked it.

"This is pretty good, who is it?"

"Laura Welsh. Have you heard of her?"

His eyes dipped to meet hers. "Is that a trick question?" He smiled when she tapped him in the chest.

"Just listen, silly. Relax and enjoy."

They did just that. Whoever this artist was - Sid liked her. The next song was also just as good; it had an acoustic sound, all males singing with guitars and a what sounded like a bongo…very folksy. He liked it too.

The next was a song composed primarily of piano music and some sort of electronic beat. A sultry female voice carried the song, leading it into a faster tempo and a more lively vibe as the music went on.

Each one was as unique and eclectic as Piper was. As the songs played, one by one, Sid stayed mostly quiet - although now and then he asked questions, genuinely interested in the music. If it was important to her, it was just as important to him.

During one particular song, he couldn't help himself. They made out like teenagers during one particularly exotic instrumental part, which made it an instant classic in Sid's book.

Then, without warning, Piper jumped up and went over to the stereo. She turned off the cd, placed it back in its case, and then handed it to Sid.

"You haven't heard them all, but promise me you'll listen to the last track when you're alone."

"Why the last one?"

Piper smiled. "You'll see."

She kissed him, and Sid figured that was a good enough answer. "If I didn't say it enough before - thank you….again."

"You've indulged me, so now I'll indulge you. How would you like to spend the evening?"

It was a tough question. Lying naked in a comfortable bed with an equally comfortable woman was first place on Sid's list; but likely wasn't very productive.

"Are you hungry again?" she asked him.

"No. You?"

"Even after that workout?"

He laughed. "I heard I burn 8000 calories a day, though. That was hardly a workout, baby."

"Smart ass." Piper sat up, her hair tumbling over her shoulders. "There might be one other person in this town that burns more calories than you running around all day, and he doesn't even play hockey."

Sid cocked his head. "Oh yeah? Who's that?"

"My kid brother" she said with a smile.
