Can't Always Get What You Want

The alarm clock on Dougie's phone bleated the tug boat goal tone. Caroline was cuddled up against him with her head laying on his chest and one leg thrown haphazardly over his. He managed to silence the alarm but could feel her stirring against him. He had set the alarm to give them extra time. He had to be at the practice facility at 10 am then they would be leaving for their road trip. Everything was packed. He just needed to throw on some workout gear. He would shower and change into dress clothes after practice. So for now he could just hang out with Caroline.

"How soon do you have to go?" she asked from somewhere between his chest and the blankets.

"It's around 7:30. I have to be at the arena ready for practice at 10. So if you still want to drive me over we will need to leave about 9:15." he replied as he pulled the blanket from her face. He laughed when she growled at him.

"If you want me to take you over I will. I guess I will go home and pack a bag to hang out at Miller's for the week." she stated.

"Just take my truck over to Miller's there is plenty of room." Caroline wiggled around until she was facing him. "You can drive it work."

"Umm how about no." she said not looking at him.

"It would make me feel a lot better knowing you aren't on the T when I couldn't help you if I needed to." he said snuggling her closer.

"I'm from just outside Boston. I've rode the T my entire life." she said refusing to give in.

"Well that was before it was all over the Twittersphere you were dating a Bruin. People do and say crazy things to the girls sometimes. Plus it's after 1 am before you get off." he pled "I know you can ride the T. I know you are careful, but I still worry."

"What if something happened to your car." she asked

"I can replace it. Can't replace you." he replied "I guess I could send a car to get you the 3 nights you are working."

"Don't you dare Hamilton." she responded "I can get myself to the bar and home just fine. I will take Hadlee's roller skate and leave her your keys for an emergency."

"So you don't care if something happens to Hadlee's car?" he teased.

"Who in the hell would steal a Fiat?" she asked "A pack of clowns. Your Rover on the other hand."

"Okay you win this round" he laughed.

"Get used to me winning Hamilton." she replied "I don't give in so easily usually."

"You Miss Rader are going to have to get used to giving in on occasion. You need to let me take care of you sometimes. You don't have to do it all on your own. So are you going to watch my game at the bar?"
"We will see the Detroit one, then the Isles is blacked out, and then you all play the Isle here on Friday."
"Then we leave for team building for the weekend. It's always a secret where we go and what we do. But I will be home Sunday. Then I have to go back to Detroit on Thursday but I have a home game on Saturday."

"I hope you plan on giving me that in writing Doug." she laughed "I can keep up better if I can hang it on the fridge."

"I'm sure Millsy has the schedule on the fridge" he replied "But I will email it to you."


Caroline was still laying on his chest. He wasn't sure if she wanted to get up and hang out or just lay there with him. He still needed to tell her his parents would be in for opening night. He was hoping she wouldn't freak out.

"So Monday after I get back my parents will be down to see the season opener."

"I will make myself scarce while they are here." she replied.

"Total opposite of what I want Caroline. I want you in the box with the other girls and family that night. I would like for us to go to dinner with them Tuesday night. Do you not want to meet them?" he asked
"Well I have never really been a meet the parents kind of girl." she replied. Dougie slid her up his 6'5 frame so that she was looking him in the eyes.

"Tough you are going to have to be the kind of girl who meets my parents. And Freddie when we play them at home. You are going to have get to me taking you out and showing you off. Mom and Dad will be thrilled that I am seeing someone. Freddy will hit on you." Caroline made a face at him like she was going to argue. "No arguing Caroline I really want them to meet you." She made an opened mouth fish face then quickly shut her mouth. Dougie smiled at her and kissed her. "They will love you, Caroline."

"If you say so Hamilton." she replied against his mouth. She moved so that she was now sitting up straddling his waist. "So you are leaving me for a week, then making me hang out with your parents before you take off again."

"Well it sounds horrible when you say it that way." He pulled her down so that he could kiss her again "I'll be home soon. Thursday we will be back around 1 am or so."

"So I will see you at the game Friday." she said with an exaggerated fake pout. Caroline pressed her pouting lips against his. He locked his mouth on hers. The kiss quickly took on a life of its own. Their tongues were moving in sync with her hips that were grinding into Dougie.

Dougie flipped her over into the center of the massive bed. He moved so that he was hovering over her body. He was settled into the v of her hips leaning over her body. He caught her mouth again. It was frenetic kisses. He bit her earlobe gently then laved the bite mark with his tongue. He kissed his way down her neck. He leaned back and pulled his shirt from her body. He resumed kissing his way down her body. He was placing sucking kisses where her neck met her shoulder. Caroline rocked her hips. Dougie smiled down at her.

"Impatient are we" laughed Dougie. Caroline growled at him and moved beneath him. He ground his hips into her. Caroline grabbed him by the head and pulled his mouth down to hers. The kiss was fast and aggressive. She knew they had very little time. Dougie's hands found her breasts. She arched her back as his large hands played with her nipples. Caroline moaned into his mouth. Caroline's hands went to the waist of his boxer briefs. She began to caress him through the tight material. He hardened more at her touch. Dougie groaned when her hot hand slid inside his briefs. She closed her first around him. Her hand worked him. His hips shot forward into her hand. Dougie moved to kiss her neck. Caroline was sure he was going to mark her. He captured a nipple in his mouth. She arched towards him. His hands skated down her body. He pulled her panties from her body. His hand found her core. Caroline was hot and wet. He thumbed over her clit. Caroline moaned. She writhed against his hand. He continued strumming her button. Caroline let go of him long enough to slide his boxers off. Dougie mouth sought Caroline's. He bit her lip. He kissed bite gently. His tongue slid together with hers. It was an intimate tangle. Caroline stroked him again. She then slid the head of his cock into her core.

"Caroline" ground out Dougie "Not gonna last Sweetheart."

"Just move" she instructed. She kissed his mouth. Her tongue swept in. Dougie thrust deep and hard. Caroline canted her hips to meet him. "faster" she called burying her head in his neck. Dougie flexed his hips and Caroline shrieked. He picked up the pace and Caroline matched his movements. He moved her so that her right leg was over his shoulder. He his movements became more frantic.

Caroline felt herself slide over the edge as his pubic bone slid against her button. Her entire body seemed to jerk. She felt him come with her. She was still riding out his short deep movements. Dougie collapsed on top of her. He stroked her hair away from her face and kissed her mouth. Dougie started to move but Caroline held on to him.

"I'm going to crush you Caroline." he said in her ear.

"Don't care" she breathed.

"Well I do." he laughed. He rolled onto his side of the bed. He draped Caroline over his chest. "Now you can snuggle and not suffocate."

"Good" replied Caroline as she kissed his collar bone. "Think Reilly and Adam will have to drive you to the trip."

"Why is that?" he asked running his hand over hip.

"I think you broke me Hamilton."

"Me" he said laughing.

"Yep, you" she replied "Plus i think marked my shoulder."

"Um, maybe" he smirked down at her.

"You don't have to mark your territory"

"Nope, but I like when you have my mark on you."

"You are a caveman."

"Pretty much. Eat, Sleep, Hockey, and You. I'm easy."

"A man of few words, Hamilton." she laughed. "I need a shower."

Dougie looked at the clock. It was 8:30 am. "You'd better hurry. We only have about 45 minutes."
Caroline laid there for a few minutes. She had her ear pressed to his chest. Dougie had his arm curved around her body. Caroline wished they could just lay there. But hockey called.

Caroline got up and grabbed her bag and headed to the bathroom. Dougie watched her walk across his bedroom. She was absolutely beautiful. He was going to miss her this week. He laid there and pondered the fact that he wouldn't see her again until Friday. He could resign himself to this fact or he could climb in the shower with Caroline. He heard her iPhone blasting music in the bathroom along with shower. Dougie climbed out his bed and headed for the bathroom. He quietly opened the door to the bathroom. Caroline was singing along with Arianna Grande. When her back was to him he got into the shower with her.

"Damn it Hamilton" she said as she jumped "What the hell are you doing?"

"Missing you already" he replied. Dougie held her against his body. She shivered. He laughed realizing his body was almost completely shielding her from the spray. He tilted both of their headS back and kissed her mouth then her neck. Caroline's arms wound around his neck and he picked her up off the shower floor. Her legs went around his waist.

"You are going to be late if you keep this up" she said between kisses. He didn't stop in fact he picked up the pace. He backed her up against the wall of the shower. She was braced between his body and the wall. One of his hands was supporting her weight the other found its way between their bodies. Caroline made a keening sound when Dougie stroke her wet folds. He ran a finger from her clit to her core. He pressed inside. Caroline threw her head back.

"Don't care" he growled "want you." Dougie thumbs skated over her already sensitive nub. Caroline cried out. She still had both of her arms around his neck. Dougie maneuvered her up higher against the wall. He sank into her body. Fast. Frantic. Caroline moaned again. This was so not the Dougie she knew. But this one was perfect as well. Caroline just held on for the ride. Dougie's hand were now digging into her ass as she was bounced up and down. This was hot dirty sex. Caroline begged him to fuck her harder. He complied and within minutes he went over the edge. Caroline followed. He was still buried deep inside her and had his forehead resting in hers. "Not exactly plan A" he said kissing her gently. Caroline latched on to his mouth and her tongue stroking his.

"Fuck plan A" she replied. He finally sat her on her feet underneath the spray. "Damn Hamilton that's fucking cold." Dougie laughed as she quickly washed and jumped out of the shower. He showered while watching her towel off through the frosted the glass. He watched her lean over to apply her lotion. He shivered. Maybe a cold shower was exactly what he needed in order to make it to practice. He cranked the shower cooler, lathered up, and rinsed off as Caroline left his bathroom. By the time he was dressed she was sitting on his bed braiding her hair. He loved watching her do that. She was still wrapped in one of his towels. He threw her a Bruins hoodie and tee. Caroline caught them in mid air. Her towel slipped. "You're killing me" he groaned.

"Get your shit and go to the living room." she directed "I am so not getting blamed for bad hockey juju."

"15 minutes" he said carrying his suitcase out of the bedroom.

"Get out" she laughed tossing the towel at him.

Dougie walked into the living room with his suitcase in tow. Reilly was sitting on the couch eating Lucky Charms watching what appeared to be a rerun of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. McQuaid was drinking a protein shake. Neither one of them said anything to Dougie but we're very focused on the TV drama. He managed to set the suitcase down and make his way into the kitchen before Smitty lost it and started laughing. After that McQuaid was a lost cause and began laughing too. Dougie flipped on the Keurig coffee maker and grabbed Caroline a cherry pop tart. He started the coffee before looking at both guys who were still laughing.

"What the fuck guys" asked Dougie as the coffee dripped into the cup.

"You do realize we have practice then a flight to Detroit" asked Reilly

"Yeah so" said Dougie putting a lid on the coffee cup. He started to grab a Gatorade when Quaider told him he made him a protein shake.

"Thanks man" he replied pulling the cup out of the fridge.

"Sounded like you might need it" laughed Smitty

"Fuck my life" said Dougie " we're you all listening at the door. She already wants to murder you Reilly."

"I'm pretty sure you all were so loud Coach heard it in Providence." Crowed Reilly.

Caroline chose that exact moment to walk out of his room. Dougie looked at her and quickly wondered if she was even wearing pants. His hoodie hit almost knee level. Caroline walked through the living room into the kitchen. She ignored the conversation she had irrupted. She stuck her hand out to Dougie. He handed her the cup of coffee and then offered the pop tarts. She shook her head.

"Keys Hamilton" she said.

"I'll drive us over" he said as he leaned down and kissed her. His hands skimmed over her ass.

"Damn it Hamilton yes I have on shorts. Not gonna flash anyone today." She laughed.
She quickly flashed him her black shorts.

"You sure your're up to driving" cracked McQuaid. Dougie glared at him. Reilly was laughing like a lunatic.
"Maybe you should let her drive" said Smith "get some down time before we get there."

Caroline looked at both of them."I swear it's like 6th grade all over again."

"You were....." Said Reilly as Dougie smacked him in the back of his head.

"Ow damn it" he said rubbing his head.

"Don't finish that sentence" he scowled at Reilly.

"My hero" laughed Caroline. They all headed to the arena.

"If you two need some more bonding time. I can drive. Backseat is all yours" smirked Smith
Dougie said nothing as he slid into the drivers seat. Caroline turned and looked at Reilly. "We'll be fine. I videoed the entire thing. I can send it to him later."

Dougie choked back a laugh. McQuaid was smiling. Reilly was quiet for a few minutes before asking if she was serious.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" She teased. He whined until they all three told him to shut up. She managed to finish her coffee and pop tarts before they pulled into the player lot.

The boys got out of the car and were unloading the trunk. Caroline walked around the SUV to Dougie. He hugged and and swung her around like a rag doll. Caroline kissed him.

"For fucks sake don't break her" yelled Lucic at Dougie.

"If this morning didn't break her nothing will" yelled Reilly once he was safely out of Dougie's reach. Looch started laughing.

"New love" said Looch "I remember those days. Now Valentina kisses me good bye and Britt is like good riddance."

"Be safe and kick ass Hamilton." Caroline instructed.

"I will." He said kissing her again "be careful coming home and don't forget our deal."

"Yes daddy" she sassed "don't take the T, no wild parties, no boys, and the only snuggling is with Hads and Kk."

"Daddy, eh?" Teased Looch "She's a keeper" Caroline smiled at him.

"I promise I won't sleep with anyone but Hadlee and Kayleigh. Have fun. See you late Thursday."

The boys started inside. Reilly stopped dead in his tracks. "Wait there is a cheerleader slumber party at Miller's." The boys laughed and drug him toward the arena.

"Bye" Dougie called over his shoulder. Caroline made it to the car before the first tear fell. Damn it all to hell. She didn't want to miss him, but couldn't help it. Her phone dinged.

Hamilton: stop crying I'll be back in 4 days.
Caroline: I'm not crying.
Hamilton: are you sure.

Caroline was about to reply when a knock on the window startled her. Dougie opened the car door. "Forgot my building passes since I keep them on my keys." He leaned across her and took the card off the keychain. He dried her face with the shirt sleeve. "No more tears. The key with the Bruins logo is to the apartment. Feel free to stay there on Thursday or any day you want."

She gave him a weak smile. "3 sleeps" he said encouragingly "only 3 sleeps and I will be home. It was always how I marked time when I was away at hockey camps and travel games. So now it's 3 sleeps until I hopefully come home to you."

"I'll be waiting for you Hamilton." She said kissing him. "Go so you get home faster."

Notes

So 1-1 so far. All the boys are doing great! Miller seems to want to play goalie.
