All Hands on Deck

Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia and it was coming up on time for a Pens/Flyers showdown. Tessa walked the halls of the Wells Fargo Center, on her way from the parking lot to the home team's’ locker room. Sidney had texted her that morning so they could make plans. He was going to meet her at Ryan’s house after the game because as much as it disappointed her, the dream of sucking him off at the arena after the game probably wasn’t a wise move.

She smiled wide, excited to see him and to watch what was sure to be a great game between two teams she knew very well. When she rounded the corner, she stopped dead in her tracks.

Sidney was standing there, in her hallway, smiling like an idiot, with Ryan right next to him. “What -”

“Oh, hey, have you met my friend Sid? Good guy, this one. Got me better tickets and a pass so I could come back here when even my supposed best friend couldn’t do that.”

Tessa tried to be annoyed with Ryan, but she was too distracted seeing Sidney for the first time in over a week. “Hey, Sid.”

“Hello, Nessie.”

Him calling her that name now was almost painful, but that’s who they had to be to each other here; she was only his Tessa at home. Ryan looked between them, smiling and then gasped when Michael Raffl came around the corner.

He gave Tessa a nod and pointedly ignored Sidney. When he locked eyes with Ryan, he flashed that beautiful smile of his. Tessa nearly burst out laughing at Ryan’s reaction. When Raffl was safely in the locker room and Ryan was done enjoying the view of him walking away, she turned back to Sidney and Tessa.

“Holy shit, did you see him smile at me?! Fuck me raw, Raff.”

“Ry, don’t you have some place to be?”

Ryan made finger guns at both Sidney and Tessa. “You bet your asses I do. Good luck, Sid, but, you know, go Flyers!” She started to walk away and shouted over her shoulder. “Oh, and FYI, there’s a unisex bathroom down this way. Just saying, in case either of you needs to use it.”

When Ryan was gone and they were left alone, Tessa checked her watch and teased him. “I’m late.”

“Yeah, me too. I’m gonna hit the bathroom before I head in.”

He started to walk away and Tessa followed, clashing her hands behind her back casually as she went. “Smart move.”

Sneaking down the hall, they both kept both eyes on the lookout for anyone who might be watching or wandering through. Convinced they were alone, they ducked into the bathroom and then it was bedlam.

His hands found her hips immediately, turning her and then pressing her against the wall as he kissed her madly, sloppy and hot. Tessa just groaned and opened her mouth wider, pressing her tongue against his and clutching his shoulders.

He lifted her easily, pinning her to the wall with his hips and returning his mouth to hers for a kiss that was as much panting breaths as it was anything else.

“Tess…fuck, you feel great.”

“You’re telling me? I missed you. Jesus, I’m so happy to see you.”

“Mmm-hmm. I wish we had more time. I want you so bad. I’ve been hard since I woke up just knowing I was in the same city as you.”

“I know, fuck do I know.”

Tessa came back in for another kiss, because the feel of his mouth was too good after their time apart. She wanted him desperately, had been thinking about this moment for days and it was even better than she had hoped. Their kisses were frantic, intense, and complete with wandering hands. Sidney grabbed her ass hard, holding her core against him and Tessa ran her palms all over his flexing back and arms, making her want him even more.

She knew this was not the time or the place for this, but that was what made it even hotter. The door was locked, so she figured they were relatively safe. Even if they hadn’t been she couldn’t have stopped what she planned to do next. Because this man, he deserved a welcome to Philly gesture like no other.

“Put me down.”

He did as she asked, but started to question her. “Why - oh, Tessa.”

She was dropping to her knees as soon as her feet hit the ground. Her anxious fingers made clumsy work of his belt, but she managed to get his trousers open in no time, hauling out his erection with both hands.

Licking her lips, she pulled him into her mouth before he could even try to protest. Not that he would have. As much as he knew they had no time, as much as he knew he’d not be able to return the favor, as much as he knew they were on thin ice doing this here, he also knew he needed this from her. And if she was willing…

She worked him quickly, wrapping a loose fist around the base of him and sucking at his already weeping tip. Sidney took hold of her bouncy ponytail, holding on for dear life as she made him weak in the knees.

“Ugh, yeah, Tess…you’re too sweet to me.”

Maybe he was the one getting off, but Tessa was enjoying it more than she might have if the tables were turned. She had been waiting so long to see him, to feel him, to taste him. He felt too luscious in her mouth for her to care about where they were or the fact that she was going to get no release from this. She could wait, but this could not.

He came quickly, shooting off down her throat as she swallowed everything before pulling off his cock with a pop. When she was standing, he was back to kissing her, pushing her back against the wall and tasting the salty residue on her lips. Still doing that, he tucked his cock away and redid his pants. The whole thing was fast and nasty and better than he had ever imagined their reunion. The best part was knowing there was so much more to come.

“Thank you, baby. You are a queen, a goddess.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go, Crosby. Before your routine gets off track and the Pens thinks the apocalypse is coming.”

He kissed her a dozen more times as she smiled at his antics. “I’m going. I’ll see you after?”

“I’ll meet you at Ryan’s. Thanks for taking care of her, by the way, she’ll love you forever now. How did you get in touch with her?”

“I didn’t, she called me.”

Tessa rolled her eyes. “Of course, she probably hacked my phone and got your number.”

He nodded at her, grinning. “How am I listed in your phone?”

“Dirty Little Secret.”

He laughed loudly, before silencing himself, recalling where they were. “Terrible.”

“You mean amazing. Seriously, though, go.”

He leaned in, kissed her one last time, slow and deep, before he finally left. Tessa waited a few seconds, got herself in order so that she didn’t look as if she just performed filatio on the Pens’ Capitain.

When she finally made it to the locker room, she hustled through to get to the trainers room, where she was accosted by Michael Raffl.

“So, that was Ryan, yeah?”

“Yup. And you shouldn’t tease girls like that, Raff. She nearly melted when you smiled at her.”

He smiled again and Tessa herself nearly melted. He really was just so damn pretty and that smile was something else. “I’ll try to keep myself under control. What was she doing with Crosby? I thought you were both Philly girls.”

Well, shit. That was a great question. Luckily, Tessa had gotten better at lying while under pressure. “She went to college with his sister, so she knows the family. Don’t worry, she bleeds orange and always will. Crosby knows that.”

“That’s what I like to hear, Philly, that’s what I like to hear.”

The game didn’t go the Flyers’ way, the Pens eventually winning 4 to 1. But Crosby looked good, on and off the ice, so Tessa figured it worked out for her personally either way. She did her best to hurry away after the game, without seeming to be in a rush. Although, once she got clear of the Flyers and their staff, she practically ran to the train station, wanting to make it home before Sidney showed up.

Sprinting up the stairs, she quickly changed and just as she was trying to tame her hair the doorbell rang. Running back down the stairs, she nearly fell and stopped to pull off her socks before the combo of cotton and hardwood floors killed her.

When she yanked open the door, Sidney’s eyes took her in. “Oh, baby, nice jersey.”

She was in his jersey, of course, the too tight one that made her C cup look like a double D. But that was all she wore, the top barely covering her exposed ass and pussy. She had figured why bother with undies, but the jersey was a must. He stepped in, slammed the door closed with the foot, and then he couldn’t get his hands on her fast enough.

His palms caressed her thighs and then pressed upwards cupping her breasts over the hockey sweater that bore his name. It was less how tight it was and more about the fact that it was his jersey, his name on her back, because she was his.

She tried to lead him up the stairs, but he couldn’t wait. He practically tripped her and her ass hit the stairs. His body was heavy on top hers as his mouth moved down her neck and he started to pull off his suit, losing his jacket before starting on his pants.

Tessa started to unbutton his shirt and asked, “Don’t you want to get into the bed I’ve been touching myself in?”

“Jesus, later. I need you now.”

He was just about naked, standing to remove his pants and pull down his boxers. Tessa leaned back on the stairs and told him. “I’m gonna end up in the hospital with a broken back if we do this here.”

Sidney frowned, grunted thoughtfully, and then pulled her up, switching places so he was sitting the stairs as he pulled her onto his lap. She wasted no time, spreading her thighs around his and opening up her pussy to take his cock as he thrust up into her.

“Sid! Ugh, God, yes!”

He had to laugh at how enthusiastic she was about it. “Missed me, did ya?”

“What do you think?”

She was just as desperate for this as he was, not so secretly grateful he hadn’t waited to get her into bed. She started to thrust down on him, knees digging into the hard stairs. Sidney was so lost to the feel of her finally around him that he just braced his hands on the stair behind him.

When she wrapped her arms around his neck, he opened his eyes to watch her. She smiled at him and he swore that was the most perfect moment, Tessa on his lap fucking him hard and then grinning at him like there was no place she’d rather be. His hands came to her back, running his palms over the raised 87 and his then over his name along the top.

“You look so beautiful in this. So right.”

“It’s not weird for you? People wearing your jersey all the time?”

“They’re not you, Tess. This is just right.”

She nodded, leaned in to kiss him again. Sidney was so close, being without her for so long had made him lose all semblance of self control. He wanted to explode inside her, again and again. But first, he needed her to come. No way was he going to go off before she did.

He pushed her back slightly and reached between them, finding her clit quickly and circling it with the pads of his fingers.

“Come on, baby. I’ve been waiting too long for this. Don’t make me wait any longer.”

“Yes, yes, Sid. Oh, God, yes. Just keep going.”

She let out a moan that almost sounded like she was in pain and then he felt her squeeze him so tight he couldn’t even more. He didn’t even need to, but just came right along with her.

Tessa went weak in his arms and he held her close. When he had his legs back, he hoisted himself up, still holding her against his chest. She wrapped her legs around him and let him carry her to her bedroom, kissing his neck as they went.

They fell into bed and Sidney never wanted to leave. He didn’t even wait to get hard again before he started all over. He peeled his jersey off her back, because as much as he liked it, he needed her naked. His mouth and tongue got reacquainted with every inch of her, starting at her neck and going all the way down to her delicate ankles.

Tessa didn’t even think about rushing him, but just let him do his thing, enjoying every kiss and letting her arousal build until she felt like it might strangle her from the inside out. But it was a different feeling than she had had when they were apart. She was still ravenous for him, but also calm in a way, because she knew he was there, he was going to satisfy her again and again. Her body was as hypercharged as ever, but it just felt sexy instead of deserate.

Everything was good and right and perfect. Sidney was there with her, in her bed, between her thighs now running his tongue along the inside of her leg. She looked down at the dark, sweaty mess on top of his head and smiled. When her fingers started twirling around pieces of it, Sidney moaned quietly against her skin.

By the time he reached her neck again and pressed his cock between her folds, they were both ready to go in no time. He rode her gently, slowly, drawing it out as much as possible, but it was no use. Tessa was soon panting, moaning, scratching at his back as the sensations took her to another plane of consciousness.

Afterwards, he took a rest, laying next to her and just grazing his fingers over her bare torso, watching her nipples peeple and rise under his touch.

“Mmm, that’s nice, Sid.”

“Enjoy it. In five minutes I’m gonna go down on you until you beg me stop.”

Her giggles made her breasts shake and he cupped one lovingly. When she rolled her head on the pillow to face him, she was all smiles. “Are you staying all night?”

“Of course.”

“They won’t miss you at the hotel?”

Sidney shrugged. “I don’t think so. I’ll be back at the hotel before we leave.”

“Good.” She used both hands to rub his cheeks. “Your playoff beard is getting a head start. You’re a cheater.”

“Ha, yeah. This is probably as good as it’s gonna get, honestly. Not as nice as Giroux’s.”

He waited for her to agree with him, which, even though it was true, she would never do. Instead she told him, “I think Vorachek’s is the best on either team, actually."

Tessa could tell he saw the forward as no threat, because he laughed genuinely. “That’s true.”

Wanting to be even closer, Tessa rolled on top of him, just snuggling against his chest as her legs fell on either side of his big body. “I’m happy. Are you happy, Sid?”

He held her closer, wrapping his arms around her back and kissing the top of her head. “I’m so happy, Tess. I gotta tell you, it was hard being away from you, but now I know.”

“Know what?”

“I can do this. I want to do this. Even if this is how it is for…however long, I can do it. Because this is so amazing, it’s worth the wait. I would wait even longer just to hold you like this.”

Tessa, in spite of herself, felt tears welling up in her eyes. When she looked up at him, she could see right away that he meant every word and that only magnified the impulse to cry. He was perfect. She told him softly. “Me too. So worth it. I can do this, for a long time.”

“I’m glad to hear it. Now, get on your back and spread your legs. Because I’ve got a lot of time to make up for.”

Sidney stayed the night and they didn’t sleep, not even for five minutes. When they weren’t making love, they were kissing until they were both breathless. And if they weren’t doing that, Sidney just held her close, marveling at the fact that she still smelled the same, like sunshine and rose. For some reason he had been worried that she wouldn’t, that the change in scenery was affect her essence. But it hadn’t, she was the same and still smelled like everything beautiful in this world.

The next morning, he was up earlier than he wanted to be, but he had to get back to the hotel before the team met in the lobby to leave. Like the last time he had to leave her, he had a hard time stopping himself from kissing her again and again.

At the front door, they said goodbye and he asked, “When am I seeing you next?”

“I think two weeks. I’ll double check and text you for sure.”

“Please do. You can wait that long?”

“Of course. I say that now…in two days I’ll be needy, but I’ll handle it. I know it’ll be amazing.”

His smile was sleep, but satisfied. “Mmm, it will be. Bye, Tessa.”

“Bye, Sid.”

When Ryan made it home, she found Tessa at the kitchen table, sipping a mug of tea.

“Well, you look like complete shit, so I assume your night was a success?”

“Thank you, Ry, it was. How’s my mom?”

Ryan took a seat, propping her feet up on the table. “You know how she is. It was fine, I guess. But you need your own place. I don’t appreciate being banned from my own house. What? What are you smiling about? Are you drunk already this morning?”

Tessa couldn’t help the grin spread across her face. “I’m not drunk. I need to tell you something.”

“If it’s that you’re in love with Crosby, don’t bother, I already know.”

Actual shock transformed Tessa’s face. “How do you know?”

“Uh, well, I’m not an idiot and I saw you together for longer than two seconds. You wouldn’t been able to hide that from anyone and definitely not me.”

Tessa just rolled her eyes, her news spoiled. “Whatever, yeah, I’m in love with him, thanks for ruining my moment.”

Ryan jumped up and crawled into Tessa’s lap, kissing her on the cheek. “You’re right, babe, I’m an asshole. That is news, terrible news, but still news.”

Wrapping her arms around Ryan, Tessa asked, “Is it so terrible? I love him, Ry. I do. I can’t deny that anymore. And I’m pretty sure he loves me too.”

“Sweetheart, love is a beautiful thing, but do I have to remind you that you and Crosby aren’t exactly in the easiest relationship? Distance aside, it’s a fucking secret. Do you want to live like that?”

“If I get to live my life with him, then yeah, I can live that life. It was so good when he was here…I have to try. He means the world to me.”

Ryan sighed, but smiled. “You know I love you and I’ll support you.”

“I know. Thank you.”

“When are you gonna tell him?”

“The next time I see him. I want to do it in person, obviously.”

“Better tell him before the playoffs so you don’t fuck with his head. Actually, I take that back, if the Flyers end up facing the Pens, tell him during the playoffs to fuck with his head.”

“I’m not scheduling my declaration of love around the NHL postseason.”

“Tsk. And you call yourself a Flyers fan…”
