Hopeless Wanderer

Carrie woke feeling cold. She was on her stomach and her bare skin was exposed to the cool air from the air conditioner and she managed to push the single sheet off her body overnight. She stayed there, her head turned to the side as she got a look of the light filtering through her curtains. It was just before six, she could tell. It wasn't light enough out to be any later than that.

When she lifted her head she felt the entire bed shift and a manly sigh, and she smiled. Sidney wasn't as exposed as she was to the cold air with the sheet covering his legs, so he still felt warm. She turned to observe his sleeping form and quickly moved under his arm as he was on his back. She couldn't hide the smile when he started to respond.

Sidney groaned and stretched his arms over his head when he felt Carrie cuddle close to him. Her toes brushed against his calf and he instantly noticed how cold she felt. Reaching for the sheet at his hips, he pulled it up over them making Carrie erupt
into giggles. When he flipped them so he hovered above her, she slowed her laughter and let him settle between her legs.

"Morning," he said softly but didn't allow for her to respond before he covered her mouth with his own. She sighed into the kiss and pulled his body close to her.

"I mean seriously, are we ever just going to have sex?" Carrie asked after the kiss ended. It was Sidney's turn to laugh.

"You have no idea how much I want to."

"Oh I think I do."

"I wasn't the one who asked for it then fell asleep before foreplay even started," Sid chided.

"I'll have you know I drank an entire bottle of champagne. I'm impressed I stayed awake as long as I did," Carrie argued with a slight smirk on her face.

"Don't go blaming the booze when you know it's because you're so old," Sid threw back at her making Carrie reach up and twist one of his nipples as her defense.

"Ouch!" Sid yelled and rolled off of her, taking the sheet with him.

"Oh you big baby," Carrie chuckled as she rolled on top of him, allowing herself to be on complete display. She pressed against his excitement and smirked down at him. "Somebody is awake now!"

"What are you doing?" He asked even though he knew exactly what she was doing.

"A woman has needs Sidney." He bit his lip to refrain from laughing. "Don't laugh at me!"

"Hey! I'm not! I swear!" He laughed anyway resulting in her twisting his exposed nipple again.

"You do that again, and I'll do it back," he scoffed as he rubbed his sore chest. Carrie continued to grind down on Sidney's crotch and he was pretty certain that if she didn't stop he would come before he could be inside her.

"Sidney, I want you to touch me." Carrie took Sidney's hands and places on her breasts. The soft skin instantly warmed under his hands. She looked at him nervously for a couple seconds before she stopped her movements and pushed the sheet separating them away. The way her teeth tugged on her bottom lip was so incredibly sexy.

"You are so beautiful," Sid told her with a smile. He continued to squeeze her breasts lightly, his eyes closing slightly to savor the feeling of her in his grip.

Sidney sat up and immediately attached his mouth to one of Carrie's swollen flesh as his tongue flicked across the pebbled nipple.

"Oh Sidney," she moaned quietly. Her fingers dug into his curls encouragingly. He slid his hands down her slim waist to her bare hips and very carefully tickled the inside of her thighs. He could feel her heat along his groin, but he wanted to touch her, make her gasp and moan some more. He wasn't surprised by how wet she was, and he easily slipped into her wetness. Carrie groaned loudly, "Sidney--you feel so good."

Sidney massaged her folds and circled her clit with his thumb. His movements were achingly slow. He wanted to remember every moment he spent touching her. The way her chest rose and fell with each thrust of his fingers, or how she bit her bottom lip when he pushed down on her clit.

Carrie was close. He could tell by the way her stomach clenched and her toes curled. He may never have done this to her before, but he knew. He broke free from her breasts and crushed his lips against hers as he continued to work her with his fingers. He needed her to know how badly he needed her and how badly he wanted her. "Sid, I'm going...I'm going to come."

He felt her clench around his finger and felt a gush of wetness. "You are so beautiful Carrie, come for me!"

"Oh! Sidney!"

Sidney couldn't wait any longer. All the teasing for the last week had been enough, he needed to be feel her. "I need to be inside you." Carrie had collapsed against his chest and was trying to catch her breath. She nodded in agreement and obliged when he rolled her onto her back and settled between her legs again.

Sidney's only want was to make sure Carrie was fully satisfied. He didn't want her to regret doing this, or think it too soon. Feeling her and seeing the reaction from her orgasm made everything so much better. He trembled in anticipation of being encased in her warmth and she trembled from still recovering from her intense orgasm.

He lifted her legs around his waist and she drew him close to kiss him as he pushed slowly inside of her. She felt amazing to him and both of them moaned as he reached the hilt. They stayed connected, but unmoving for a couple minutes. Finally, Carrie started rolling her hips to get Sidney to move.

Pushing aside any sort of concern Sidney had about doing this, he began to move slowly. And he decided being in her was the most amazing feeling in the world. "Oh Carrie...You feel amazing."

He could barely catch his breath when her walls clenched around him. Every time her walls contracted and squeezed his cock, the closer he was to finally coming. Carrie tilted her hips up so that Sid is able to push himself deeper. Her fingers dug into his back when he pulled all the way out and thrust back into her quickly. He'd been in this position countless times, but this time it was different. He was giving everything he had because he needed her to see that there was a life waiting for her after tragedy. And her warmth hypnotized him.

"I'm gonna come...I," Sid tried to hold back, but couldn't. His thrust slowed as he came in fast, hot spurts. "Shit...Carrie...shit!"

Sid collapsed on top of her for a moment before he realized he was crushing her. Despite his whole body feeling like jello, he rolled off her and keeping her close. Her flushed skin was set ablaze against his and there was a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead. But the smile she produced after all was said and done made him know she enjoyed their first time together as much as he did.

"Let's do that again," Carrie mumbled.

"Okay, give me a minute," Sid said between breaths and the sweet sound of her giggle filtered through the room.

Carrie was walking beside her mom, listening to the older woman drone on and on about how Carrie should just move away from Pennsylvania all together and start fresh. That staying would only remind her of the past.

"Mom, I love you but you need to stop. I'm not moving. I love what I am doing now and I don't want to give that up until he is ready for me to go." Which she secretly hoped would be never.

"Fine, I'll drop it. But at least come down to Folly Beach for a couple weeks," Mrs. Palmer reasoned.

"I will see what I can do," Carrie replied. She chuckled when she heard her nephews get excited that the polar bears were actually swimming that afternoon and nipped the conversation with her mother in the bud.

She fell back in step with Kathleen and when they were a few feet behind everyone she smiled at her older sister.

"What's that look for?" Kath asked suspecting something was up.

"We did it." Kath stopped walking in order to let the group get further ahead. She wanted some details without exposing her sister and Sidney to their family.

"And?" She finally said.

"It was perfect. He was perfect."

"Happy the deed is done?"

"Oh hell yeah."

"When did it happen?"

"Early this morning. Oh Kath, he was so sweet. He knew how I would be wired from yesterday and he lit a bunch of candles and drew me a calming bath. He even went to the body shop to get the right blend of essential oils and bath salts for me. And I was all set to just do it then."

"But?"

"I fell asleep. Too much champagne. But I woke him up this morning and one thing led to another and before I knew it we were each three orgasms in and approaching the time to actually get up and ready for the day."

"Three orgasms? Really?"

"Jealous?"

"I remember what it was like to get that many out of Jeremy. Then we had two kids."

"You girls coming? The boys want to see the bats!" Jeremy yelled back at them.

"We will catch up!" Kath called up and they watched as the five of them wandered past the sea lions and towards the giant slide towards the deer. "No regrets?"

"None. Can I tell you something? I hope it doesn't make me sound like a bad person."

"Shoot."

"It was probably the best I ever had. And it could just be because it's been so damn long, because I love my husband. But that man has some moves even R.J. didn't know."

"No, not a bad person. Makes you wonder what his number is."

"I don't care about that. My number isn't something to be proud of."

"Ah, my little slutty sister everybody!" Kath laughed as Carrie pushed her with her shoulder and shushed her.

Sidney fired up the grill when Carrie texted to let him know that they were leaving the zoo. He opted not to attend the family outing simply because he wasn't technically family, and because no one but Carrie's sister knew anything about him. Everyone else just thought he signed her paychecks.

So he stayed behind and went to the grocery store to get a variety of things to grill. Being alone gave him time to hash out what happened earlier with Carrie and how they should continue with their relationship. He was decided on keeping her as his assistant for as long as she wanted, but that she also knew that he wanted to be with her as her boyfriend. Something serious that they wouldn't have to hide. At least not to those who mattered to them. But he wasn't sure whether she would go for it and he was considering her decision on where they stood when he heard voices coming through the gate directly to the backyard.

"The pool is bigger than the pool at the park!" Caleb shouted as he ran ahead of everyone. He stopped when he caught sight of Sidney.

"Hey bud! Are you gonna get in it?" Sidney asked. Caleb nodded reverently.

"Hi Sidney!" Trevan said when he stopped next to Caleb. Sidney knuckle bumped the older boy and waited for the rest of the group to make an appearance.

"They are so excited to get in the pool," Kathleen explained when she waddled up next to the boys with swim vests in hand.

"Well the pool house is open. The water is nice and cool and there are pool toys under the bench seating along the pool house," Sid said with a smile.

He was quickly introduced to Jeremy, Mr. And Mrs. Palmer and watched as Carrie escaped into the house. As her family got ready to jump in and cool off he snuck inside to find her for a quiet moment alone.

He found her just in the kitchen foraging for the various food items he was instructed to pick up. She was about to start on a small cheese tray when she saw him and smiled. She stopped what she was doing and followed him with her eyes as he came around the island and swooped her up in his arms. She squealed in delight and quickly kissed him before he set her down and resumed acting like employee and boss.

"Did you have fun today?" Sid asked as he grabbed a chunk of cheddar and popped it in his mouth. He stood dangerously close to her as she worked.

"The zoo was nice, but crowded. Good call on not going. So many pens shirts. It was hot too. I am going to do this and cut up the fruit and veggies and then change into my suit." Sid leaned close and growled softly in her ear. "What?"

"You and bathing suits. Ugh!" Carrie had to laugh. She understood what he meant about seeing each other with little to no clothes on.

"My sister is coming," Carrie half whispered and nudged Sid to step away.

"Mom and dad are in the water, you two don't have to worry," Kathleen said as she walked through the doors. "I've come to help!"

"Oh great! There are bags of mixed veggies that need washed and a watermelon to cut," Carrie said.

"Why don't you clean the veggies, Sidney, and I can cut the watermelon up. The kids like the sticks I make," Kath explained. Sid nodded and did as he was instructed, first placing the watermelon in front of Carrie's sister and handing her a few knives to choose from.

"Good! The faster we get this done the faster we can get in the water. I swear I think I smell," Carrie claimed, Kathleen gave her sister a knowing look and Sid leaned close and took a sniff.

"It's all in your head, lady. You smell good to me!"

"That's only because you are lusting after her," Kath laughed.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's more than lust," Sid corrected with a pointed look and a little smirk. And the three erupted into chuckles.

"You'll come to visit then?" Mrs. Palmer asked while giving Carrie a goodbye hug.

"Yes, I promise I will. I'll come down next month with Kathleen and the kids." After the full day with her parents, Carrie finally caved and decided she could spare a week away from Pittsburgh. She loved spending time with her parents.

"You don't have any obligations with Sidney?"

"No. I'll be bored while he is training. He will be finishing up his endorsement deals in the coming weeks and I'll have time to myself." He will be hundreds of miles away while she stayed in Pittsburgh.

"He's a sweet boy and very handsome."

"He's not much younger than me mom." She knew why her mom would reference him as a boy, he still had a boyish charm about him.

"He doesn't have a girlfriend?" Carrie was caught off guard on that one. She hesitated in her answer.

"What? Uh, no. He doesn't."

"Is he gay?"

"Mother!"

"What? It seemed only fair to ask. He isn't around."

"He isn't gay. He just, he's protective of his assets."

"Hmm, okay. We will call when we get back home tomorrow." Mrs. Palmer hugged Carrie as she said this.

"Sounds good."

"Love you sweetie."

"Love you."

Carrie was watching her family pull out of the driveway when Sidney snuck up behind her.

"Do I give off a vibe that I am gay or something? Seriously," he asked catching her by surprise.

"Oh my God!" She turned and smacked him on the chest. "You scared me!"

"They're gone?" She nodded. "Good, I've been dying to do this all day." Carrie anticipated a peck on the lips but was surprised when he didn't lean in close to do so.

Instead Sidney just had a mischievous smile appear on his face as he peered over her head in the direction of the disappearing vehicle. When he was certain that they were out of sight from her family he reached down and lifted her over his shoulder, bolting back through the house and up the steps towards her bedroom, all the while Carrie squealed with laughter and excitement.
