Chapter 152

After an hour of kisses and just sitting there with their foreheads together, Karen was getting a little anxious. The way Sidney made her feel, she could pounce on him at any given moment. She looked up at Sidney and he he knew exactly what she wanted. He smiled at her before diving in for another kiss, of course this kiss was different than what they shared an hour before. The sensations between them were incredible.

"Should we go upstairs?" Sidney asked.

"I don't see why we need to" Karen replied

"More room?" he questioned with a smile.

"You'd be surprised what you can accomplish on this lounger" she said back with her own smile. Sidney got up and brought Karen with him. When she stood, Karen began to undress herself not waiting for Sidney to help her. He stood there watching her get down to bra and panties before she stopped. "Do you not know what's about to happen?" Karen asked as she looked at Sidney still dressed. "This goes a little better if clothes aren't in the way."

"I know what needs to be done, I just love watching you get naked."

"Well this is all you're getting until you join me."

Sidney stepped closer to her "you do know that standing there like that turns me on even more."
Karen took a step back "really, then what do you plan to do about that?" She smiled when Sidney rapidly started to take off his shorts and t-shirt, throwing them anywhere in the room. He was about to take off his boxers, but Karen stopped him. She walked up to him and ran her fingers over the hem of the fabric. She snuck her thumbs inside the elastic band and moved her hands down, bringing the boxers with her. When she got them past his thighs, they fell the rest of the way and Karen stood back and looked him up and down. "Now that's what turns me on...you completely naked."

"Why don't you join me?"

"I think I need a little help."

"You know I'm the perfect man for the job" he said running his hands up Karen's back until he reached the back of her bra, unhooking it. He moved to her shoulders and brought the straps down her arms until her breasts were completely exposed. After throwing the garment to the floor, Sidney went to her hips and pulled her panties down her legs, going with them and helping her step out of them. As Sidney stood back up, he rans his hands up Karen's legs making her skin shiver. Their lips met before Karen lightly pushed Sidney to the lounger and made him sit down. Karen straddled his hips and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him. She moved her hand inbetween them and grabbed for his cock. She massaged it slow and with the right amount of pressure to make Sidney moan his pleasures. When Sidney put his hand to the back of Karen's head and pressed her into their kiss, she tightened her grip and sped up her hand movement until he was hard enough for her. Karen felt Sidney remove her hand and took his cock, finding her entrance and guiding it into her opening. He moved his hands to her ass to keep her on him as she started to move on him. Karen got a good rhythm going but wanted to be in control.

"Lay down" she whispered into his ear.

Sidney did what she asked but brought her with him as he laid down. Karen continued her assault on him, sitting up and putting her hands on the arms of the lounger. Sidney tightened his grip into her hips making her clamp down harder on him. Karen felt her orgasm near and sat straight up. Sidney moved one of his hands up to rub her breast as his thumb grazed over her nipple, getting harder each time he pressed over it. Karen grabbed onto Sidney's forearms as she moved faster to let her orgasm release within her body. She slowed down until her body stopped trembling and she was able to keep her slow pace going to bring Sidney over with her but he had other plans stopping her and moving her off him. Karen stood up when Sidney moved her and waited to see what he wanted when he got up himself. Sidney directed Karen onto the lounger and on her knees. Sidney got on his knees behind her, pushing forward until her hands grabbed the back of the lounger. Sidney took his cock and rubbed it over her swollen lips before darting the head in and out a couple times then sliding back inside going as deep as he could. Sidney stayed still for a minute before moving in an upward motion to get Karen going again. Her moans filled the room as Sidney began to make his movements bigger. Karen loved how they would each take control and loved it even more when Sidney's aggressiveness came out in full force. She screamed a little louder everytime he hit her sweet spot which made Sidney pound harder and faster into her. Karen knew her second wave was coming hard and pleaded with Sidney to bring her over the edge. Hearing her beg for him to set her off made Sidney grip her hips tighter and take her over the edge with just enough thrusting force. Sidney wasn't far behind and literally gave one last hard thrust into Karen to let loose inside her. He brought Karen up to him and held onto her body. Karen moved her head to find Sidney's lips and kiss him between their heavy breathing.

"I told you this lounger had its purpose" she said after breaking the kiss.

"And it is definitely going to the new house with us" Sidney told her getting a slight laugh out of her.

"I bet you couldn't wait to get your parents out of the house this morning huh?"

"Let's just say, I hate being confined to only the bedroom with you baby."

"Me too stud" she said before kissing him again. Sidney pulled out of her and laid down on the lounger bringing Karen beside him again. They turned towards each other and Sidney put her leg over his as they held onto one another. "This might bring out another round if you're not careful" she told him as his cock was right up against her lips, feeling the heat coming from behind them.

"You say thay like it's a problem baby" he said staring into her eyes. Sidney leaned in and kissed her with enough passion to make her toes curl. Karen's hands roamed over his chest and stomach, feeling the dampness of the sweat that was there as the kiss continued. Sidney's body was on fire from the way she touched him and could feel the heat burn within his cock. Karen felt him become harder against her mound and press against her clit, making her body send shivers up her spine. She couldn't take it anymore and reached for his cock, placing the tip at her entrance and helping him slide inside for the third time. Karen tightened her leg around Sidney's lower body, bringing him closer to her. They both had the same thought and made a forward move into each other. There was no need for speed, as they slowly grinded into each other. Sidney's hand went to her ass, helping him get deeper inside of her by pressing her into him. Their lips parted when Karen moved her head into Sidney's neck, letting her soft moans escape her lips and into his skin. When Sidney felt her fingernails dig into his hip, he knew she was close. He managed to roll them over a little to where Karen was pinned up against the arm of the lounger and Sidney took control again making his movements bigger until she let go of her release. Sidney made a couple more thrusts and came hard not to long after. He rolled them back to the middle of the lounger and kissed her before they curled up and fell asleep, still wrapped up in each other. An hour later, Sidney woke up and saw where they were. He looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was late, lightly waking up Karen. They got up and Sidney picked her up, carrying her upstairs to bed. Sidney placed her in the bed, set the alarm for Karen and then joined her in bed after he went to the bathroom.

The next two days went by fast and it was Thursday afternoon with Sidney leaving in the morning. Karen tried to hide her sadness infront of Sidney but all day at work, she let it show. She had told herself that work and getting the house packed up would take up her time of missing him and it seemed to work until she got home and saw his bags packed by the front door. Karen had made a romantic dinner for them and knew their last night together would be unforgettable.

"Have you talked to Dana in the last couple of days?"

"Yeah, he said that they will be out of the house by the second week of August so when you get home you can schedule the movers on the first weekend after that."

"That'll be great. I hope to have what I want to take all packed before I leave on the first."

"You going to be ok about all this?"

"Sid I told you, I'm fine about you leaving,"

"I know you're fine about that, I mean leaving here...your house and all the memories of your parents. You really haven't talked about it."

"I figured I would save all the emotions of that while I'm going through everything. You don't mind me keeping a lot of things and just storing it in the basement or attic in the new house do you?"

"Baby, I couldn't tell you to throw out anything. If there are things you can part with and throw out or give away then that'll be your decision. You can keep it all if you want. I know if I were in the same boat, I wouldn't want to get rid of anything that was my parents to remind me of them."

"You are too good to me."

"Well I figured that if I was good to you, you wouldn't leave me."

"I don't think that will be happening for a very long time."

"How much longer until dinner is ready?"

"About another half hour, why?"

"Coach Dan was going to stop by in a few minutes before he goes home tomorrow. Do you mind?"

"No, not at all."

Just then, there was a knock at the door and Sidney went to answer it. Karen came out of the kitchen to greet Dan and his wife. She took them around the house and showed them the back yard before they came in and sat in the living room for a few minutes.

"This is a great house Karen" Dan told her.

"Thanks. I hope it's ok that I just want to rent it out and not totally sell it. It's paid off and all you'd need to is set up electricity, cable, phone, and anything else in your name."

"You sure you don't want rent or anything?"

"I'm sure. It's easier this way to where you pay for all the utilities."

"You aren't just giving me this great deal to ease up on this one during next season are you?"

"Hell no, make him work harder than everyone."

"Thanks baby."

"I would give the same deal to anyone else on the team. It just makes sense to do it this way."

"When would you be out?"

"I talked to Dana the other day and he'll be out by the middle of August so when Karen gets back from being with me in Canada at the end of August, she'll be ready to move within the next week."

"Are you leaving anything here?"

"I was planning on leaving everything in the living room, except the lounger, and most of everything in the guest bedrooms. All you'll need to furnish is anything for the master bedroom and a dining room set, besides the basic necessities of sheets, towels, dishes...things like that."

Dan looked at his wife and smiled when she did "I think we'll take it. It'll save staying in the hotel again until I could've found a place. You are a lifesaver Karen" Dan said getting up to hug her.

"I'm just glad it'll get some use out of it instead of just sitting here locked up." Karen heard the timer in the kitchen go off "excuse me for a minute" she said leaving everyone.

"Thanks Sid, I really appreciate the thought of letting me and my family live here during the season."

"Thank Karen, it was her decision. I know it's going to be hard for her to let go, so just indulge her if she comes over a lot during the beginning of the move until she lets go on her own."

"She's welcome anytime Sid" Dan told him with a smile. Karen came back in time to say goodbye to their guests and Sidney saw her face fall after he shut the door.

"Baby?"

"I'm fine, really." Sidney wrapped his arms around her as she put her head on his shoulders and let a tear fall. The realization of leaving her parent's house was slowly hitting her now that there is going to be someone else staying there. "Dinner's ready if you're hungry" she said stepping away and wiping her eyes.

"Absolutely baby." They headed into the kitchen and instead of eating in there, Sidney got some candles and put them on the table in the dining room, turning off the lights when he got them lit.

"So, do you have the rest of the evening planned too?"

"I just thought we would relax for the rest of the night" he said with that sexy smile he always brought out for a night of pure unhibited sex.

"How about on your last night here, I will let you do whatever you want to do."

"To you?"

"To me."

"Then forget the food, let's go" he said making a move to leave the table only to be stopped by Karen. "Sorry, but can you handle what I could have plan for us?"

"I can handle whatever you bring stud." Sidney just smiled at her and knew she was in for a rude awakening of a night she won't forget.

After dinner they sat around for awhile watching a movie until Sidney smiled to himself. He began to take his fingers and lightly touch Karen's thigh. She looked over at him getting a shrug out of him. Karen shook her head at him and went back to the movie. Sidney got up a minute later and disappeared. Karen saw him come back out a minute later but head straight upstairs. She wondered what he was up to and was going to get up to see when he came back down to sit beside her. Sidney stayed on the couch with her until he got up and left again. Karen was getting curious now and wondered what he was doing when he came back a few minutes later.

"Ok, what are you doing?"

"Just getting things ready for later" he said nonchalantly going back to the movie.

"I think I'm getting scared telling you that you can do whatever you want to me."

"Don't be, you'll love it" he said kissing her. They finished the movie and when it was over, Sidney turned off the tv and sat there without saying a word.

"So now what?" Karen said getting anxious.

"Follow me" was all Sidney said. He got up and put out his hand for Karen to take. When she did, Sidney led her upstairs to their bedroom. He put her by the bed and undressed her slowly, touching every inch of skin he exposed. When she was completely naked, Sidney got a scarf and blindfolded her, picking her up and putting her in the middle of the bed. "You trust me?" he asked her.

"Completely Sid."

Sidney smiled and finished getting a couple things before going back to the bed. Karen felt the bed shift and realized Sidney sat down on it. He grabbed an ice cube from a bowl that was slowly melting away and rubbed it over her nipples. As soon as Karen felt the cold, wet sensation her back arched up in the air. Sidney proceeded to rub the ice cube all over her breasts and down to her stomach. He made a line to the top of her mound and swirled the ice cube all over making her hips buck up. In her mind, Karen was hoping he didn't do what he was about to, but he did. She felt Sidney move again and come back. He had another ice cube and placed it over her warm swollen lips. Sidney slipped the ice cube inside her heated walls and left it inside. He closed her lips to hold in the cold cube, letting it melt from her heat. Karen couldn't stop moving her hips as the coldness penetrated her soul. After a couple minutes, Sidney opened her up and sneaked a finger inside feeling the cold and hot around him. He noticed the ice cube had melted completely and started on his second round of torture.

Karen felt the bed shift again then felt it move like he was bouncing around. Sidney had gotten a can of whipped cream and was sitting there shaking it. When he was ready, he uncapped the can and held it over her breast. Karen heard the sound and then felt the coldness on her nipple again. Sidney squirted a dot of whipped cream over her nipple and proceeded to lick it off. He did the same to the other one before putting more whipped cream over the entire breast and sucking it all off. When he was done with her breasts, Sidney made a line from her neck to the top of her belly button. He stuck out his tongue and licked the continuous line until he had all the cream off. When Karen felt he was done, she felt the cold cream around the top of her mound and falling down her swollen, aching lips. As soon as she felt Sidney's tongue connect with her clit, she almost jumped off the bed. Her moans and pleads of 'oh god' made Sidney dip his tongue deeper into her core. He left her for a minute and grabbed another ice cube, holding it in his fingers and inserting them directly into her opening. Karen's hips lifted off the bed as Sidney darted his fingers in and out of her and the cold ice cube touching her vagina walls brought her close to the edge. Feeling him nip at her clit sent her over, screaming Sidney's name as loud as she could. Sidney slowed his fingers down before withdrawing them completely, letting her calm down. He took off the blindfold and kissed her waiting for her to open her eyes.

"What the hell were you reading while I was at work to know to do all that?"

Sidney crawled up the bed to lay beside her "some is a no brainer baby, the other I just wanted to see what would happen."

Karen looked at him "so if you're the one leaving, why am I getting all this?"

"Because I'm leaving you and I need to know you'll have some great memories to dwell on while I'm gone."

"Does that mean I don't get to play with you?"

"Maybe I could let you have a turn. Tonight really wasn't all about you anyway. Do you want to get a shower first?"

"Later since you'll need one too after I'm done." Karen got up and helped Sidney get undressed before letting him lie down on the bed. She found the ice cubes and picked one up looking at it.

"Not sure what to do with it?" he asked.

"Wondering where I can stick it" she said with a sly smile until Sidney knew where she was going with it.

"I don't think so babe."

"Don't worry stud" she said throwing it back into the bowl "I'd rather play with the whipped cream first." Karen picked up the can and shook it a little before putting it on his chest. She mimicked everything he did to her but spent more time below the waist. Karen could see Sidney begin to get hard but she needed a little boost to help her. She grabbed one of the roses and lightly moved it over Sidney's cock. The motions she was doing sent waves of pleasure through Sidney's body and he let it show. When Karen was satisfied with her minimal torture but defined results, she got the can again and put a dab of cream right on the tip of his cock. She stuck out her tongue and lightly licked it off to the delight of Sidney. She saw him take a deep breath before letting out a moan when she did it again. Karen was about to put a third dab but decided she needed a little more. She took the whipped cream and made a swirl around his entire cock plus the extra on top. Karen told Sidney to watch her as she took her tongue and licked in the same direction of the whipped cream. Everytime she hit the underside of his cock, Sidney felt his orgasm rise a little higher. When she got all the cream off, Karen hurried to grab an ice cube, putting it in her mouth and crushing it. After swallowing the chips, she attacked Sidney's cock with force and sucked as hard as she could to bring it out of him. Sidney's hands went into Karen's hair and pulled tight as he came hard. After Karen got done, she came back up to him and put her head on his chest.

"Have we ever had a night like this?"

"I think we've gotten somewhat close."

"I also think you got the better of the deal baby."

"That's because men only have one main pleasure zone stud. There's not much to do on you."

"Well, I think you did plenty baby. If anything, you know how I love it with you. It's special when we do this, but holding you, looking into your eyes while we make love is what's beautiful between us." Karen couldn't help but let a tear fall down her cheek as she heard Sidney talk about the way they were together. He turned to her completely "baby, I know this next month and a half will be hard for both of us. I hope each day passes quickly so when August 1st comes, you will be in my arms after another night like this."

"I like the sound of that, but I think we should save another night like this for our wedding night."

"That's a thirteen day difference."

"I never said we wouldn't make up for lost time, just I think something this special needs a special event to preceed it."

"I totally agree baby" he said kissing her. "How about we grab that shower now so we can get a little sleep before we need to get up and head to the airport." Karen just smiled and kissed him before they got off the bed and went into the bathroom. Sidney started up the shower and made sure it was the right temperature before they got in. He pulled Karen in front of him after he had stepped under the water to rinse off. Karen got under the water and let it fall over her. Sidney stepped back and watched the water cascade down her body, getting him excited again. He didn't want to rush their last time together and grabbed the shampoo, pouring it in his hand. He went up to Karen and started to wash her hair as gently as he could. When he was done, she got back under the water to rinse it out as Sidney used what was left in his hands to wash his hair. Karen got all the shampoo out of her hair and moved to let Sidney rinse his. As he was doing that, Karen grabbed the soap and lathered up her body, waiting to do the same to him. He came out of the water and watched her continued to go over her entire body with the suds flowing down with the water coming from the shower head. Sidney took the soap from her and got washed as their eyes stayed locked to each other's. Karen moved past Sidney to step under the water, but made sure to graze his body while doing so. She got under and let the water wash away the suds, slowly. Sidney couldn't take anymore and stepped under the water with her, washing off as well. When they were both done, Sidney lifted her up and pressed her against the wall of the shower entering her as she wrapped her legs around his hips.

"Baby" he said breathless "I can't take this slow. I need you so bad right now."

"Go however you need to stud, just fuck me."

Sidney kissed her hard before putting his hands under her thighs and spreading her as open as she would go. He started pounding into her as hard as he could without really hurting her. Karen put her hands on his shoulder, digging her fingernails into his skin.

"Like that, oh god Sid, don't stop."

"Never baby. Come for me, show me how much you love it."

Karen let the moans and screams out as Sidney kept going until she let go and came hard. Sidney felt her juices cover over him, making her hole slicker for his cock to slide in and out of her with ease. When her walls constricted him tightly, he shot off inside of her, letting out his own moan. Sidney put Karen down and they held onto each other until they had the strength to get out and dry off. After they did, Karen took Sidney's hand and led him to bed, curling into one another and falling asleep.

The alarm rang a few hours later and Sidney got up first, letting Karen sleep for another half an hour. After he was ready, Sidney woke up Karen. she got up and got ready while Sidney made sure he had everything he needed. they went downstairs and ate a small breakfast. Karen had made a coffee cake the night before and they had that and some coffee before they left for the airport. The drive to the airport was quiet but it was a good quiet. Karen had leaned over and put her head onto his shoulder.

"You're not sleeping are you?"

"No, just enjoying this time with you."

"Are you heading into work after you drop me off?"

"I may go for a little bit. Sue asked if any of us would give up some hours snce the store was over and I told her I would give up the hours until I get there and still only work until 1p."

"Could be a good thing considering how tired you are" he said smiling.

"What about you stud?"

"Oh I can sleep on the plane baby."

"I hope you have some pleasant dreams."

"If I do, I may end up in the bathroom for some of the flight." Karen just let out a laugh as they continued on to the airport. When they got there, Karen felt the sadness she was trying to hide as Sidney parked the car in the short term lot. They got out and Sidney grabbed his checked bag and Karen took his carry on, linking their hands together and walking inside. Sidney went up to the counter as Karen stood off to the side until he was done. He walked over to her and they went down to the security checkpoint together. Sidney looked at his watch and saw he had enough time, pulling Karen to the side by the telephones for a little privacy. He looked at Karen and saw the tears forming in her eyes.

"Baby?"

"I said I was better than last year, but I never promised a few tears wouldn't fall."

"The time will fly by, you'll see."

"I know and I have a lot to keep me busy."

"Busy is good, just don't forget to think about me at least once a day."

"More like a million times a day."

"I can say the same thing. I love you baby, more than you know."

"Believe me I know stud and I love you too." Sidney put his hand to her cheek and caressed it lightly before leaning in to kiss her for a long passionate kiss. "Call me tonight?"

"And every night after" he kissed her again and looked at his watch "I need to go baby."

"I know. Be safe and have fun with some time off before getting into your training."

"I will and you have fun buying all the stuff for our new house."

"I'll be spending your money so of course I will. I'll see you in little over a month stud."

"I will be counting down the days." Sidney kissed her one more time before letting her go and walking to the checkpoint. Karen walked over until she saw him go through and get his bag. Sidney turned around and mouthed "I love you" and Karen said it back watching him go to the tram before turning around and leaving. She let the tears fall on the way to the car and when she got in, she sat with her head to the steering wheel until she could see to drive home. Sidney got off the tram and to his gate finding a seat by himself. He smiled when he let his own tears fall, wiping his eyes and knowing Karen would never let him forget being like this...like her. He looked around and realized he would have rather had her be hysterical and with him than calm and not. Sidney got out his phone and sent her a text before he boarded and put his phone away. Karen got to work a half hour later and was putting her purse in her locker when her phone went off. She opened it revealing the simplest message to tell her the next month and a half would be alright.....I love you!

Chapter 151

On Tuesday, Karen went to work as Sidney took his parents to the airport. On his way home he stopped at a couple places to get a few things then headed to the house to wait for Karen to get home from work. About 1:30p, Karen was walking into the house when she saw a bouquet of roses in a vase sitting on the floor in the middle of the hallway. She knelt down to smell the sweet scent and smiled. She got up and walked into the living room to see more vases and more roses on the bookcase, top of the tv, on the coffee table, and one on the stand by the doorway.

"Sidney?" she yelled out but didn't get an answer after a minute. Karen put her purse and keys down, walking upstairs to change but to see if Sidney was up there. She walked into their bedroom and noticed a huge bouquet of roses in every color on the dresser. When she turned around, she saw rose petals on the bed but noticed they spelled something. She took a step back and saw the words I love you written with the petals. Just then, Sidney emerged from the bathroom and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I take it your parents are gone?"

"Yep, took them to the airport this morning."

Karen turned around in his arms to face him "and you just couldn't wait for me to come home to seduce me huh?"

"Is that what I did? Huh, never thought about it that way. Is it working?"

"Oh definitely, I am very seduced right now."

"Good" he said letting go of her and walking out of the room leaving Karen standing there in disbelief. When she realized he wasn't coming back, she changed into a pair of shorts and joined him downstairs.

"Very funny Crosby. See what happens when you're begging tonight" she said sitting beside him on the couch.

"Oh don't be like that baby. I just figured you were tired from working."

"If you can still have enough energy after playing 60 minutes, I can still have energy after working 8 hours."

"Later baby, I want you well rested."

"So what's with all the roses? Did you do something bad or are you trying to get on my good side?"

"I always want on your good side and no, I didn't do anything bad. Since I am leaving in a couple days..."

"Don't remind me" she told him with a pout.

"I did the math and bought you a single rose for every day we would be apart until you come up in August."

Karen turned to Sidney "I think I just had a mini orgasm" she said to get a smile out of him "you are just the cutest stud."

"I know but what can you do" he told her.

"I can think of a few things" she said climbing on his lap so she was straddling him "that is, if you let me."

"Have I ever turned you down?"

"Um yeah, a couple times."

"And you know how incredibly stupid I was for doing that?" he said moving his hands over her back.

"Well, how about you make it up to me from the times you did?" she said leaning in to kiss him. Their lips met in a heated kiss and Karen started to grind into Sidney's lap.

"How about we take this upstairs? I had those rose petals on the bed for a reason baby."

"Such the romantic, how can I say no to that."

"You don't." Sidney got up with Karen still wrapped around his body and he carried her up the steps. When they reached the bedroom, he pressed her upagainst the wall outside the room, letting their crotches make contact. Karen let out a soft moan when she felt Sidney press harder into her. He moved them into the bedroom and onto the bed, letting Karen get comfortable before he laid down on her covering her body. Sidney moved his hands to the bottom of her shirt, pulling it up over her head and discarding it on the floor. He dipped his head down and placed kisses over her cleavage making Karen arch her back into his mouth. Sidney brought his hands up to unclasp her bra, moving the fabric off her breasts and unvailing her swollen hard buds. Karen sucked in a deep breath when she felt Sidney's tongue run over the stiff peak before taking it into his mouth and lightly sucking on it. He went over to the other one and paid the same amount of attention that he had to the first one. Karen grabbed for his shirt and pulled it over his head, throwing to the side. Sidney sat up and took off her shorts, discarding his own before climbing back on top of her. "Tell me what you want?" he said in a low voice sending a fire through her body.

"I want to feel you inside of me."

"Like this" he said slipping his already hard cock into her wet and waiting opening.

"Oh God yes" she panted almost breathless.

Sidney grabbed Karen's hands and moved them above her head, wrapping her fingers around the posts in the headboard. Karen kept them there as Sidney began to move inside of her. He sat up on his hands to get better leverage as his pounding got harder. Karen's grip got tighter on the posts and she put her head back into the pillow to keep it from bouncing into the headboard. She wrapped her legs around his thighs as tight as she could get them, pulling him closer to her core. After a few minutes, Sidney moved her legs and told her to let go of the posts. When she did, Sidney sat up on his knees bringing Karen with him. He grabbed her ass with his hands and helped her move on him. Neither could hold on too much longer as he helped her go faster until each moaned out their pleasure. They slowed down until their breathing calmed down as well and their lips found each other again. Sidney laid Karen down on the bed and rolled to the side of her, letting her curl up to his sweaty body.

"Let me ask, you had that planned all day?" she asked him.

"Well not all day. I had to curb those thoughts while my parents were still around."

Karen picked up a rose petal and smelled it "you have better strength then I do cause all I could think about was you and me and doing this all morning."

"Really?"

"Yep, I think I sent some questionable remarks to Corporate too."

"That can't be good."

"Well those stuff shirts could use a little imagination" she said laughing a little. "So, not to put a damper on this adventure but when are you leaving?"

"Friday morning."

"I don't get you for the weekend?" Karen said with shock and disbelief as she moved to look at him.

"Baby, I remember how you were last time I left."

"I'm better now. Before was different, I didn't know how in love I was with you to let you go for that long."

"I know but if I keep pushing it back, I won't want to leave you."

"Good, you can help me pack up the house then."

"I do have an idea about the house."

"And that would be?"

"How about offering it to Coach Dan? That way he'll be close to Mario and he doesn't have to take time to look for one for him and his family. This is a perfect house for him."

"Well I did like the idea of renting it out to another player, why not Coach Dan. Plus it will give me up until a couple weeks before training camp to really get my stuff out of here."

"You're not taking everything are you?"

"No, I'll leave a good bit of furniture for them. All I want to take is everything in here, the dining room table and chairs since they were mom's handed down, and the oversized lounger in the living room. I'll get everything else new."

"Sounds like a plan to me. I'll call him later and see what he says before he heads home for the summer."

"Good but now that we've worked up an appetite, I'm hungry stud."

"How about I take my beautiful wife out for dinner?"

"Since the season's over can we go for Wings?"

"Anything you want baby."

"You are too good to me and for being so wonderful, there might be a surprise in it for you later."

"Maybe I don't want to go out now."

"I said later and if you don't take me out for Wings, it will be much later for you."

"How much later?" he asked taking her into his arms.

"Later as in when I come to see you in Nova Scotia in August later."

"Damn you don't play fair baby."

"I know, but that's why you love me so much."

"Absolutely baby" he said letting their lips connect one more time before they got up and got ready to head out for dinner.

They got to Quaker Steak about an hour later, after a half hour of playing around in the shower. They got seated and looked over the menu when their waiter came over to them.

"Hi guys, I'm Scott and will be taking care of you today. What can I get you to drink?"

Before Karen could open her mouth, Sidney spoke up "two Bud Lights please." Karen just smiled at him and finished looking over the menu to see what she wanted to get this time around as the waiter left to get their drinks. "Know what you want?"

"Probably what I always get. You?"

"Not sure, I'll decide when he comes back."

A few minutes later, the waiter came back with their beer "have you decided?"

"Can we get a full bucket of bbq wings please" Sidney ordered.

"Alright, anything else?"

Karen was about to respond again when Sidney spoke up "she'll have a salad with ranch dressing on the side."

"Sounds good. I will get that right out for you."

"Thanks" Sidney told him before looking at Karen and her smile beaming back at him. "What?"

"Am I that predictable when it comes to this place?"

"Maybe, but I just know what you love baby."

"I hope that goes for you too."

"It does, don't worry."

A few minutes later the waiter came back over and brought Karen her salad. When he left, a little boy walked up to the table and Karen smiled at how shy he was.

"Hey buddy" Sidney said and the little boy's face lit up.

"Hi" he said softly "could you sign this for me?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you Sidney but he saw you and made a beeline for you" the little boy's mother said.

"It's ok, I don't mind. What's you name buddy?"

"Tommy" he said still shyly but with a smile.

Sidney signed the napkin and handed it back to him "do you want to get a picture Tommy?"

"Can I?" he said excitedly.

"Sure thing." Tommy joined Sidney in the booth as his mom snapped a picture.

"Would you like to be in one?" Karen asked "I'll take it for you guys."

"No that's ok, we've taken up enough of your time."

"Come on mom" Tommy said almnost persistant "sit beside me." She handed Karen the camera and sat down as she took the picture with Sidney.

"Thank you both so much. Sorry to have bothered you."

"It was no bother. Have a good night Tommy" Sidney said getting a high five from him.

"Thanks Sid and good job winning the Cup."

"Thanks buddy." They walked away and Karen just watched Sidney's facial expression.

"You really have a soft spot for kids huh?"

"They don't take all this for granted. To them we're heros, to adults we're money for them to make off our autographs. I know that napkin will be cherished for at least 20 years."

"You know you probably just opened the flood gates."

"I know, but hopefully they'll be respectful and let us eat first."

"Ooo, a betting opportunity." Just then a couple of girls came up and asked Sidney for his autograph. He humored them and signed the napkins before thanking him and walking away.

"We're not in the middle of eating our food so that didn't count baby" he said to Karen who just started laughing. Soon their food came and they ate with no interruptions from the other patrons of the restaurant.

"So tell me, when are you leaving Friday?"

"Maybe we should talk about this when we get home."

"Why?"

"Baby, I have an early flight and I leave at 8a."

"So I go to work and then you leave? You couldn't get a later flight for me to take you to the airport? You don't want me to take you to at least say goodbye before I don't see you for a month and a half?"

"Karen, that's not it. There aren't many flights heading that way and it was either early or really late. I didn't want to get home around midnight. You know I would love for you to take me if you could."

"Maybe I could. I can see about just going in after I take you and stay later to get my time in."

"You know I would love that baby, but if your manager gives you crap then don't worry about it."

"I'll see tomorrow."

"I'm sorry baby."

"I know and I'm sorry for overreacting about it too." They finished eating and was ready to head out when the work staff asked Sidney for some autographs and a quick picture with them. After he was done, Sidney signed the wall before they left to head home. The car ride was somewhat silent and Sidney hoped Karen wasn't mad about him leaving. they got to the house and headed inside. Karen went to sit down in the lounger and soon Sidney joined her, making her change positions and curl up into him.

"Are you mad about earlier?"

"No. I know there are only certian times for flights home and I shouldn't have made a big deal about it. I just thought you would've waited for me to get home to take you. You know, get that whole hyperventilating, crying goodbye scene you love so much" she said with a smile.

"I figured you could throw in a 'run after me and dive on the floor grabbing my leg' sort of thing" he said teasing her.

"Oh shut up" she said smacking his stomach. They laid there with their arms around each other, just being together. Karen began moving her hand over Sidney's shirt, finding his necklace and playing with it. She moved her hand to his stomach and made her way inside his shirt. Karen would lightly scratch over his skin making him shiver. Sidney smiled when she found a tickle spot but then got aroused the more she touched him. Just her touching him set him off more than anything. He couldn't take it anymore and removed her hand from under his shirt, turning more into her. Their lips met in a heated kiss and Sidney took his turn to roam his hands over Karen's body. Since they had just got done with dinner, Sidney didn't want to really rush into anything. Their lips however told a different story as they stayed locked together with many sensual kisses between them.

Chapter 150

Sunday morning and Karen was curled up in Sidney's arms. Her body felt the heat rise between their skin and loved holding on to him when neither had somewhere to go. She was woken up when she heard Sidney's cell phone ring.

"For once, can't you leave that thing downstairs?"

"Sorry baby" he said kissing her head then moved to reach the phone from the nightstand. "It's Max" he told her as he answered it.

"I can't wait to call Nat 80 thousand times when they're trying to sleep" she said as Sidney laughed and finished his conversation with Max before hanging up. "So what was so important this early?"

"Just plans to take the Cup around town again."

"Where to today?"

"He mentioned surprising the fans at PNC Park during the Pirates game. Feel like tagging along?"

"I don't know" she said kissing his chest "I may need some extra persuasion." Sidney lifted Karen's chin and met his lips to hers. He rolled them over onto her back and Karen instinctively made room for him between her legs. Sidney grinded into her mound before finding her opening and slid inside of her. Their rhythm started out slow and got heated as the minutes ticked away. Sidney moved his hand under one of Karen's thighs and lifted it to open her up wider for him to pound harder inside of her. Karen whispered her pleasures as Sidney smiled knowing he could bring out the passion in her. He felt her fingernails dig deeper into his back and knew she on the verge as he sped up his pace and brought her to her breaking point. Sidney soon felt the tightness around his throbbing cock and made one more deep, hard thrust into her spilling all he had. He leaned in and captured her lips sealing their time together. Sidney let go of her leg and Karen started to put it down when she stopped and winced, arising worry from Sidney.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"I think my hip just popped. I wasn't expecting that."

"I figured they way we are, you should be pretty limber by now."

"Thank you for that but remember, this is the hip that got pinned by the forklift."

"I forgot, you ok?" he asked with fear in his eyes of hurting her.

"Yeah, I just need to stretch it out."

"Need me to massage it?" he said smiling like a kid in a candy store.

Karen was about to respond but the knock on the door stopped her "a raincheck stud?"

"Definitely" he said getting up and putting on a pair of shorts before opening the door and stepping out to talk to his dad. Karen laid there and couldn't help but replay everything from the last couple nights in her head and got a few ideas for when Sidney gets his day with the Cup. He came back in a few minutes later and told her that his mom had some breakfast ready if she was hungry. Karen got up and dressed, walking downstairs with Sidney to eat.

When they got done with breakfast, they all got ready and headed out to meet up with Max and the guys for another fun filled day sharing the Cup with the city of Pittsburgh. They went to a few places before taking the bus to PNC Park. Karen rode with Troy and Trina in another bus for the family members and got to be in the dugout while the guys were announced onto the field. As Karen saw Sidney walk out with the Cup raised high over his head, she couldn't help but think how sexy he was in the Pirates' jersey he put on. Trina looked over at her smiling and just smiled herself shaking her head knowing how in love Karen was with Sidney. After all the guys were announced, they took a picture with the Cup before walking off the field to a thunderous applause and cheers from the fans in the stands.

As they headed back to the arena, Mario had announced that he would have another party at his house tonight before the parade on Monday. Karen knew she would only be able to spend a little while at Mario's with Sidney for she would have to go to work on Monday morning. When she heard about the parade to happen on Monday, Karen knew there was no way she could ask for another day off with such short notice. She wanted to play it safe so when she asked for two more weeks in August to surprise Sidney and be with him for a month over the summer, there wouldn't be friction between her and her manager.

As they were at the house relaxing before heading to Mario's, Karen's cell phone rang and she saw it was work. She picked it up walking out on the porch.

"Hello."

"Hi Karen, It's Sue. I don't mean to bother you on a Sunday."

"That's ok, I just got home a little bit ago. What's up?"

"Well, they decided to reschedule the gun audit for tonight after the store closes and I was hoping you could come help me and a couple guys from the Gun Counter get it done."

"I did have plans tonight."

"I know you probbaly did, like everyone else I tried. If I can convice you to come in tonight to help, you can have tomorrow off. I'll get the others to run the variance reports and do all the paperwork for bailing on me."

Karen stood there and thought about it for a second before answering her "yes, I will come in to help you."

"That is so great Karen. I know I count on you for a lot of things and I am very appreciative of all your help."

"Well you know I am always there to help when it comes to my job, besides I wanted to try and go to the Stanley Cup parade tomorrow with Sidney and now you made that possible so thank you."

"Well we both win then. We were going to start about 9p, so if you could be here about 8:45p we can get set up and organized before diving in."

"Sounds good. See you tonight."

"Ok, see you then." They said goodbye and hung up from each other. Karen stood there and knew Sidney would be disappointed about not going to Mario's party but she hoped he would feel better when she told him she'd be there on Monday. Karen headed back inside and rejoined Sidney on the couch.

"Everything ok?"

"Yeah, um would you mind if I skipped the party tonight?"

"Why don't you want to go?"

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just Sue needs help with the gun audit at work and I told her I would be in. I would work from 9p until we get done, maybe by 1a or 2a."

"I want you with me tonight baby."

"I know but think about it this way, if I go in tonight I get Monday off and can be with you during the parade."

"Well that makes it a little better. Since we're heading to Mario's around 5p, will you come and have dinner and then leave a little after that?"

"I think I can handle that" she said seeing him smile before he kissed her. They sat around talking and watching a movie before it was time to head to Mario's. Karen had gotten some food and hung around with the Sidney and the guys until 8p then told everyone goodbye and left. Sidney walked her home to see her off before heading back to Mario's.

At 2a, Karen got done at work and was heading home. She drove past Mario's and saw a lot of cars still there. She went to the house and parked, going inside. She went upstairs to change and noticed Sidney wasn't home yet. Karen grabbed her keys and went back over to Mario's. When she got there, she weeded her way through the sea of people until she found an occupant of the house.

"Hey Lauren."

"Kiki? I thought you had to work?"

"I got home a few minutes ago. Do you know where Sid is?"

"Last I saw him, he was by the pool with Jordan and Flower."

"Thanks" she said hugging her and heading out back. Karen got closer to the pool and saw the guys sitting around talking. She stood back and out of the way listening when she heard her name.

"Where's Karen?"

"She had to work but she'll be able to be at the parade tomorrow."

"So dude I have to ask, what's come over you with her?" Jordan asked.

"What do you mean?" Sidney asked concerned.

"Well, you guys get together and all of the sudden you move out of here into her house, then you get married. I'm sorry but this isn't you."

"I guess it's possible for people to change Staalsy. Karen brings out the best in me and showed me there's more out there then to live and breathe hockey. I needed something else in my life and I see all you guys with your girlfriends or wives and I guess something deep down made me want that too. I just found it when I wasn't looking for it."

"Leave him alone Jordo" Max started "he's happy."

"I get that and I think Karen's great, I just never thought it would happen this fast" Jordan said before leaving the group.

Sidney sat there and wondered what he meant. "Don't worry about it man" Billy said "finding the right woman is the best thing in the world."

"It has been. I was so stupid before this season started by breaking up with her when all I wanted was to be with her. I knew she made my life better and balanced everything out."

"I don't know how you do it Sid."

"What?"

"Handle everything like you've been in the league for 15 years not 4. Damn man, when I was your age I could barely keep my head on straight."

"I don't know, I guess it's just how I was raised."

"Well whatever it is, keep it going for as long as you can" he said before getting up leaving Max and Sidney alone.

"Maybe Jordan has a point, maybe Karen and I did rush into this relationship faster then we should have."

"Are you having seconds thoughts?"

Karen perked her ears up at his response "God no, but I always wonder if things would be different if we would have slowed down since last year."

"I don't think so Sid, we all see what she's done to you and we're glad she changed you...for the better" Max said seeing Karen walk towards them.

"I think we changed each other Max" Karen said walking over to them.

Sidney got up and hugged her "when did you get here?" he said hoping she didn't hear all he said.

"About 10 minutes ago."

"It's a good thing you're here Karen, we need some class to spice up this party."

"So where's Nat? I didn't see her when I walked through."

"She had to leave at midnight, said she had to open tomorrow at work."

"Guess we're all not so lucky to have tomorrow off."

"Yeah and she's kind of pissed about that so if you could, tell her you had a horrible time at the parade."

"Will do Max" she said laughing before he excused himself to leave them alone.

"You heard what I said?"

"Do you think I'm mad from what you said?"

"Aren't you?"

"No. Sid there might be days when I wonder how we got here so fast but I know I wouldn't change it for anything."

"I wouldn't either, remember that."

"Always" she smiled at him before he leaned in and kissed her. They stayed around the party for another hour before going home and getting some sleep.

On Monday morning, everyone from the Penguins organization got to the arena early to do a few things before the parade. When they got to the start of the route and were assigned cars, Sidney pulled Karen aside.

"Why aren't you going with me in the truck?"

"Because this belongs to you and your dad."

"Karen?"

"Sid, listen to me. I am so proud of you for accomplishing your dream, but your dad has been waiting for this his whole life to share it with you. I don't want to take this away from him. I'll go with your mom, Taylor, and the other families and meet you at the stage area."

"But I want you there?" he said almost pouting to make Karen smile.

"Are you even going to know I'm there?"

"Yes" he said seeing her look at him "well I'll know you're there."

"Of course Yoda, you'll feel my presence. You are going to be so wrapped up in the crowd it's not going to matter who's in the truck with you. Go enjoy it with your dad and I will see you at the end of the road."

Karen kissed him and started to walk away when he pulled her back "will you always be waiting at the end of the road for me?"

"No matter where it takes you, it will always lead back to me stud. I love you and I'll see you in a little bit" she kissed him again and walked over to Trina and Nathalie.

"You ok Sid?" Troy asked his son.

"Yeah I'm good."

"Karen not coming with us?"

"No, she didn't want to take away this moment for us" he said seeing Troy's expression change "I hope this now proves how amazing she is dad" he said patting him on the back then heading to the truck he would be riding in. Troy looked over at Karen and smiled before joining his son.

As the parade started, Karen just took in all the people that came out for this as she went past them. She thought back to '92 when they had the celebration at Three Rivers Stadium. It was also the last thing before the players would disburse for the summer and Sidney would be heading to Nova Scotia by himself.

"You ok?" Trina asked.

"Yeah, just after today time will be short before Sid heads back home and I won't get to be with him until August."

"Well, we'll be heading home tomorrow so that will give you and Sid a couple days alone until he leaves."

"You know you guys can stay as long as you want."

"I know, but you guys need this time together. Trust me, I understand." They shared a smile and continued on down the parade route. As everyone ended up to where they had the stage set up, Karen waited for Sidney since he was one of the last ones to get there. She stood off to the side of the stage and listened to the players address the crowd. She was all smiles when Sidney got up to thank the fans. When everything was said and done, the guys had to head back to the arena to clean out their stalls and do a last media scrum before heading home. Karen told Sidney she would see him when he got home and left with his parents.

At the arena, Sidney sat in his stall and waited on the media to come hound him one last time. He knew there was something he needed to do before they all started asking their questions. Once they were all around him, Sidney got their attention.

"Before we start this I want to say that my personal life is off limits. The only thing I will say is that I do plan to marry my girlfriend during the summer and I am confirming it to put all the rumors to rest." Sidney got the approval of the group and they went on with their questions. After a half hour, they left Sidney alone and he got all his things put away and said goodbye to some of the guys, heading out to go home.

Chapter 149

Sorry for the lack of updates, work has been hectic. Will try to get this back up to speed soon. Thanks for being patient....you girls rock :)



A couple hours later, everyone had returned and sat around talking for a little bit. When Sidney got back he told Karen and his mom that the team was going to meet up at Mario's bar on the SouthSide for yet another party. They all got ready to go and headed out.

As the team, their significant others and family members got to the bar, they headed upstairs to a private area to continue celebrating. Karen was walking over to Sidney when she glanced out the window.

“Oh my God, you guys need to see this” she said getting almost everyone’s attention. Sidney came over with Jordan and Marc-Andre behind him. They moved back the curtain to reveal all the fans in the streets gathering around the bar. The guys opened up the windows and had fun with the fans by sticking their heads out the windows and also dangling the Stanley Cup as well. The crowds cheered and wanted more from the players…which they got for a little bit. Sidney stepped away from the window to let others in and pulled Karen to a quite corner of the room.

“I’m glad you’re here baby.”

“Where else would I want to be stud?”

“Figured there would be other places.”

“Not from where I'm standing. I know you're going to be pulled in a million directions in the next few days and I hope I get some of that quality time too.”

Sidney put his beer down and grabbed hers to put it down too as his arms wrapped around her waist “you mean like this?” he said pulling her into his body and kissing her passionately.

“Yeah, something like that” she said breathlessly breaking the kiss.

Sidney looked at her “maybe we could sneak off and finish what we started earlier?”

“Mmm, are you waiting for me to tell you no cause that ain't going to happen stud.”

“Sid man, you need to come see this” Jordan yelled to his friend.

Sidney just gave him a nod then looked back to Karen “I will be back.” He gave her a kiss on her forehead then headed back over to the windows.

“Is everything good between the two of you?” Natalie asked her friend.

“Yeah, that’s the problem loving that man I can’t keep my hands off him for a long period of time.”

“Would you be leaving the little group for awhile to get your freak on?”

“I don't know what you're talking about” Karen said nonchalantly.

“Nice cover. You have all summer to celebrate with him, can't you wait?”

"No and from the look you're getting from the Superstar I'd say I'm not the only one who will be looking for a private corner."

"Can I help it if I am doing my part to keep the man happy."

“You need to just stop.”

“Sorry, but I am a changed woman.”

“Damn, the man has you brainwashed. You go away with him during the summer and you’ll never be the same after that.”

“I’m in love, what can you do.”

“Smack you until you come to your senses.”

“Won’t work” she said tapping on the top of her head “it’s already too damaged from years of working in retail.” They both laughed and went to join their men.

After another hour of drinking and the guys playing with the crowd, Karen gave Sidney a look and headed towards the other side of the room. Before she disappeared around the corner, she gave him a slight head nod. Sidney excused himself from the guys and walked to the back of the room. He realized Karen went into the bathroom and opened the door to see her standing in front of the sink, waiting.

"Do you mind being pulled away from the party?"

"Going from a group party to a quiet one with my beautiful wife for a little bit, I don't mind at all." Sidney stepped up to her body and pulled her in for a heated kiss. As their hands began to roam, Karen's went to his shorts and undid them, moving them off his hips a little giving him the hint. Meanwhile, Sidney's hands made their way up her legs and under her mini skirt to remove her panties. Karen felt them falling down her legs and stepped out of them as Sidney took his shorts and boxers off and letting them fall as well. Sidney grabbed her ass and started to put her up on the sink.

"I don't think this sink is sturdy enough for this Sid?"

He looked behind her and saw it was not secure against the wall "maybe you're right" he said turning her around "I like it this way better" he whispered as he entered her from behind. Karen gripped the sink as his pounding got harder and faster. They knew they wouldn't be able to take their time for there would be people looking for them but it was enough to last them until they got home later. Sidney moved his hand around and found her clit, rubbing it to bring her to her peak and unleashing his when he felt her muscles clamp down on him. Sidney thrusted in a couple more times making sure he gave he every last drop. Karen leaned back to his chest and turned her head to meet Sidney's lips.

"I hope that was enough to curb your urges until we get home stud."

"My urges? Who was the one that lured me in here with her 'I want you now' look."

"I don't give you that look. I just look at you with love and you take it to another level."

Sidney kissed her again before pulling out of her and turning her around to face him "keep telling yourself that baby." Karen just laughed as they started to get dressed and look like they weren't doing anything. Sidney kissed her and went out first, letting Karen to make sure she was presentable before coming out of the bathroom herself. She walked over to the bar and got another drink.

"So, you guys couldn't wait huh?" Natalie said walking up to her.

"Just don't have Max put you on the sink, it's not sturdy enough" she said smiling as she went over to where Sidney was and stayed by him.

The night went on and soon everyone started leaving. Sidney, Karen and his parents headed out and went home. Sidney gave Karen a look when his dad told him to just take him and his mom to their house for the night. Karen just smiled and kissed his cheek before they got into the car and went home.

After they got the the house, Karen bidded everyone a goodnight and headed upstairs. She went to jump in the shower to get the smokey smell off her. When she got out, Karen saw Sidney moving the chair from her vanity table to the wall closer to the closet. She stood in the doorway just watching him.

"Um Sid, what are you doing?"

"Just putting some distance between us and my parents."

"Sid, I think they know we have sex. As a matter of fact, I believe they knew we were having sex when we were dating."

"I know they know we have sex. It's not like they never knew when I was still at home."

"You mean" she said walking over to him with her hand over her chest like she was going to cry "there have been other girls?"

"Will you stop" he said as Karen started laughing "I thought I could unleash some sexual lovin on you but now we need to be more reserved."

"When have we ever been reserved with people in the house?"

"You know what I mean baby."

"So then, what's with the chair?"

"I can show you better than I can tell you."

"Then show me stud" she said reaching up and grabbing the top of her towel, letting it fall off her body and to the ground. Sidney wrapped his arms around her naked body and kissed her before removing his clothes and sitting on the chair. Karen smiled and kneeled down infront of him. She placed featherlight kisses on his knees, working her way up his thigh. Sidney took in a deep breath when he felt her inch closer to his throbbing cock. Karen lightly took him in her hand as she started to massage him, making him grow in her hand. She leaned her head down and took all of him into his mouth, making a suction over his cock. Sidney felt like he was in a vise and knew if he let her continue, he wouldn't get to do what he wanted. When Karen let him go, he grabbed her by the arms and brought her up to him, letting her sit on his lap. Sidney guided his cock inside of her slick opening as she slid down over him. Karen's feet were on their tiptoes as she began rocking her hips upward. Sidney grabbed her ass and helped her movements get bigger and faster. Karen took ahold of the back of the chair letting Sidney take control. The faster he moved her, the faster her orgasm was building and let loose as she moaned out her pleasure. She brought her head down finding his lips to conceal what moans were left and heard a growl escape from his throat. They slowed down until Karen had stopped moving and continued kissing Sidney until they were strong enough to move. Soon, their lips parted and Karen made a move to get off Sidney's lap when he held her on him not letting her get off. Sidney stood up and carried Karen to the edge of the bed, sitting her down and hovering over her. He started thrusting into her again with a fury of passion. Karen sat up on her elbows when she saw Sidney get up on his hands. Her head fell back and let all the feelings take over of what Sidney was doing to her. She soon felt she was close to her second orgasm and Sidney felt it too. He quickly pulled out of her and sat on the bed beside her. Karen moved off the bed and sat down on him with her back up against his chest. She put her hands on his knees and roughly rode her way to finish off both of their second orgasms, falling back against him until they calmed down.

"Ok, so that I wasn't expecting" Sidney said.

"What do you mean?" Karen asked still breathless.

"I knew I was planning on ravishing you but didn't think it would be this intense."

"I hope that's a good thing" she said turing her head to kiss him.

"It's definitely a good thing baby." Karen moved off of him and went into the bathroom. She came back out and got into bed, waiting for Sidney to join her. When he came back over, he got as close as he could wrapping his arms around her and falling asleep.

Chapter 148

As the night went on, there was plenty more to come with celebrating the team's win. Karen got done swimming and decided to go change. She stood back and watched the guys in the pool with the Cup when a friend came up to her.

"Well there's a familiar sight" Bob Errey said standing beside her.

"Yeah, wonder how many pools that Cup has seen in all these years."

"You look like you were having fun out there. Just like old times huh?"

Karen had been thinking when the Pens won the Cup in '92 and her celebrating with Rick "yeah, forgot how much fun it was watching the guys go crazy. Miss it?'

"Not too much. Being in the broadcast booth makes me still part of the team."

"And I'm sure you and Bourquey will lend a few ideas about how to play with the Cup in these coming days?"

"Nah, let them figure it out...it's more fun that way" he told her then left her alone. She saw Sidney and smiled at how much fun he was having, like all the pressures were finally off his shoulders to achieve his dream. Karen looked at her watch and went down to the pool to see Sidney.

"Hey baby" Sidney said getting out of the water, walking over to her "why did you change?"

"I think I'm going to head home."

"Baby why? Is it because I'm not paying attention to you? I can pay more attention" he said with worry in his voice.

"Sid, stop" she said caressing his cheek "its late and I've been up for more than 24 hours. I need to get some sleep."

"Didn't you take a nap on the plane?"

"So take away two hours, it's still 24 hours. I know you want me here to help you celebrate, but believe me when I say this...there are more days ahead to celebrate you're win and I will be at everything."

"I guess I just wanted to end the night with you."

"I would love that but you're not done playing around with the guys and I understand how important this is, go enjoy it I want you to."

"Ok. Let me dry off and get a shirt on and walk you home."

"I'll be fine stud. I love you."

"I love you too" Sidney said with a smile then kissed her to the awws coming from the pool. Karen made her way to the house, telling everyone goodnight and headed home. Trina had decided to go with her and crash at the house since she knew Troy would be young again and stay up as late as the guys. They got to the house and Karen told her to take whichever room she wanted and she would see her in the morning as she went upstairs and fell into bed.

A few hours later, Karen woke up and got dressed heading downstairs. Trina was already up and had the coffee brewing. Karen thanked her emencely for having it done.

"Feeling ok this morning?"

"Yeah, can't remember the last time I partied like that. Wait, yes I can. It was when the team won the cup in '92. Of course I don't remember going to bed until the sun actually came out, so I made progress this year."

"Sounds like you did. Are you going to head back over to Mario's?"

"Yeah, need to see what shape my hubby is in."

"Funny, I was thinking the same thing" Trina said that got the both of them laughing. They finished their coffee and headed up to Mario's a few minutes later. As Karen walked in, she heard some faint giggles as she walked to Sidney's bedroom.

"Alright you guys, what is going on?" Karen asked the girls.

"I don't think we should tell you and just let you see for yourself" Taylor told her. Karen got past them and quietly opened the door, only to shut it again.

"Did I just see what I thought I saw?"

"Yes" the girls said in unison and laughed, leaving her alone. Karen let out a little laugh and went into the room. She walked over to the bed and stood there.

"Sidney" she said in a sweet voice "come on stud, time to get up."

"I don't want to. Just five more minutes baby."

"Sorry stud but your fve minutes are up." Sidney woke up and looked at Karen before looking beside him "I see you didn't miss me at all last night" she said as Sidney still laid there with his arm around the Stanley Cup that was in bed with him. "Do I even want to know how this happened?"

"No I don't think you do baby, but I was thinking about you the whole time."

"Nice Crosby" Karen said laughing as Sidney pulled her into bed with him.

"See, now this is how it should have been last night" he said kissing her.

"So how did you wind up with the Cup in your bed?"

"Mario told me to keep it safe. This is what I came up with."

"I think he meant having it in the room with you, not necessarily in bed with you. What time did you finally get to bed?"

"A few hours ago. I think the whole team is crashed around the house."

"Well do you feel like getting something to eat because I am starving and Nathalie has made a huge breakfast for everyone."

"Yeah, I'll be out in a few minutes ok?"

"Ok. I love you."

"I love you too baby." Karen kissed him again before getting up and leaving him to get up and ready. She walked out into the kitchen and saw everyone staring at her.

"What?"

"Is Sid coming out?"

"Yes, his sleeping partner however I'm not sure about" she said as Max and Jordan began laughing. A few minutes later, Sidney emerged into the kitchen and sat down beside Karen getting food on his plate. "Are we not worthy of having the Holy Grail of Hockey join us this morning?"

"It's sitting in the living room baby. I'm not sure who's taking it where."

"I told Dan he could take it for a little while. I'm sure he'll make a widespread call when he decides to head around town with it to see who wants to join him" Mario told everyone.

"Did you get permission from the keeper here?" Karen nodded her head towards Sidney.

"Funny baby, see if I let you play with it."

"Maybe I'll win it in the divorce settlement" she said with a sly smile.

"Divorce?" his dad said with surprise.

"Yeah, I caught him cheating on me with the Cup."

"Not like we all aren't going to be doing that in the coming months" Max said out loud.

"Well I draw the line of it being on the alter with us during the wedding."

"That's ok, I'll just put it in the pew with a tux" he said shovelling the bite of pancakes into his mouth making everyone laugh.

After breakfast Karen headed home with Sidney in tow. He told the guys that he would meet up with them later. When they got home, Sidney went upstairs to shower and change as Karen sat down and got on her laptop until he came back down. She opened up her mail and saw an urgent message from Sheril. Karen opened it and the message told her to check out The Trib's website about the celebration from the locker room. First thought was the photographer got a very unflattering picture of her but when she clicked the link, it was something totally different.

Karen sat there with a shocked expression and couldn't believe what she just read. She was staring at the screen long enough that Sidney had come down and was trying to get her attention.

"Baby? What's wrong?"

"Not Only A Summer With Stanley, But A Wedding Too" Karen read the headline to Sidney as he sat down beside her as she continued reading.

Sidney Crosby had achieved his ultimate dream by capturing the Stanley Cup for the first time in his career on Friday night. As the celebration continued on in the locker room, I have learned that Sidney will wed his girlfriend during the summer when he goes home. No further details were made available at press time.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me! Who ran the story?"

"Rob Rossi" Karen told him quietly.

"Baby I am so sorry. I don't know how it happened. I thought Dan was the only media to know."

"I think I know."

"How did he find out?"

"While us girls were standing back and watching you guys celebrate, Nathalie made a comment about having the Cup at the wedding and Vero got all excited and was kind of loud when she congratualed me. He had to have overheard one of them."

"I need to make a call" Sidney said somewhat angrily as he got up.

"Sid wait. I know we kept it a secret while the series was still going on, but it's out now. Let's just deal with it."

"Baby, I'm doing this for you."

"I know and I love how protective you are with this and me, but we knew it would come out either before or after the wedding. I can deal with whatever comes from it."

"I know Karen, just another reason I love you. But I still need to call my dad and let him and Mario know, ok?"

"Ok. I'm going to do a little searching from some other sites and see who else picked it up."

"Alright" Sidney leaned down to kiss her "I love you."

Karen smiled at him "I love you too." Sidney snuck in another kiss before getting his phone and calling his dad. Karen went to the Post Gazette website, the Pens official site and even a few fan sites. She was thankful that the only things she read so far was they all wondered who this girl was and if they had seen her. One commented about seeing a girl go into the Igloo with Sidney for a few games and wondered if it was her. Karen just sat back on the couch and hoped it didn't get too bad.

A little bit later, Sidney hung up from him dad and came back to sit with her "anything else?"

"No just some females fans wanting to know if they've seen me and not realized I was your girlfriend."

"What about work?"

"You mean my co-workers? They may harass me with questions but I have no clue what they will do individually when they find out the truth. That's when we may have to worry about stories and blogs coming out."

"Just tell them that it's true and we got married and just leave it at that. If they don't have all the details, no harm can come from it."

"I knew I married a smart man."

Sidney moved her laptop out of the way and made them more comfortable on the couch, pinning Karen underneath him "you know baby, I can be smart in other ways too."

"Mmm, how so?" she asked feeling his bulge against her crotch.

"I'm smart enough to know what you like and how you like it."

"I will give you credit there Crosby, but my mind has gotten a little fuzzy from last time. Care to remind me?"

"Forever and always baby" he said before pressing his lips against hers. The kiss intensified and hands started roaming around. Sidney’s hand made its way inside Karen’s shirt, massaging her breast as her moans started to fill the room. Karen could feel him grow against her crotch more and it brought out more feelings between them. Sidney removed his hands from under her shirt and made its way to the hem of her shorts. He was about to move under the fabric when they heard the door open and voices coming in. Sidney hurried to move off Karen but shield her so she could fix herself up.

Troy and Trina came in and saw the scramble on the couch “are we interrupting anything?”

“Not at all mom” he said leaning back on the couch. Karen turned around and settled in by Sidney as Trina saw her blush, knowing they were caught.

"I think we are" Troy said.

Just then, Sidney's phone rang "saved by the bell" he said smiling at Karen. He got off a minute later and told everyone he was going to meet some of the guys and Coach Dan to take the Cup to a few places. "Do you want to come baby?"

Karen just gave him a look "not right now, maybe later."

"Mind if I go Sid?" Troy asked his son.

"I was going to see if you wanted to dad. Mom?"

"No, I'll stay here with Karen if she doesn't mind."

"Not at all. How about we hit a mall or two until they get back?"

"I would love that. I'm going to freshen up and we can head out" Trina told her. Karen just looked at Sidney and he knew what that look meant.

"Dad, why don't you head to the car and I will be right out" he said throwing him his keys. Troy took the keys and walked outside. "Sorry baby. Are you mad?"

"No, but I meant what I said" she said wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Don't worry baby, I will definitely have you coming every way possible later."

"I can't wait stud" she moved her hands to his neck and pulled him down to her "go have fun."

"See you later baby" he kissed her again and left her standing in the living room with a smile.

"I remember having that smile" Trina said walking back into the room.

"What, you don't anymore?"

"Oh I still do honey. Just some motherly advice...no matter how bad it gets, never lose that smile towards him."

"I promise I won't" Karen said before getting her purse and following her mother-in-law out the door for a morning filled with shopping.

Chapter 147

Karen kept an eye on the clock as she saw the puck head towards the net. She saw Marc-Andre push off into the shot and the puck hit into his midsection. There wasn't time for another shot as the Penguins' bench cleared and they had won the Stanley Cup. Karen just sat down and put her head in her hands letting the tears of joy escape down. Natalie sat down beside her and Karen looked up at her as the smiles got bigger when they hugged each other. They made their way into the suite and was engulfed by hugs from everyone before the suite cleared and they made their way to ice level. Karen had stayed back and found Sidney on the ice celebrating.

"Hey, aren't you coming?" Natalie said walking back over to her.

"Yeah, I just wanted to watch this for a minute. Look at them down there" she said pointing out Max to her.

"I know, I can't believe it. There was so much doubt back in February that they didn't think they'd get this far."

"But look at them now...Stanley Cup Champions."

"Come on, let's go" Natalie said pulling her out of the suite. They got to the first level and was stopped before they showed them their passes and were let down to the ice. Karen saw where Troy, Trina, Taylor, and all the Lemieux family were in the bench area. Her and Natalie tried to get there but the usher stopped them saying there were too many people on the ice as it was. Karen knew if she even mentioned dating, let alone being married to Sid she would get laughed out of the building. She stood as close as she could and waited for someone to see she was there to tell them to let her and Natalie through. Within a minute, Nathalie saw them standing there and walked over to the usher telling him to let them through.

"Thanks, I didn't think I would be able to get your attention."

"I was looking to see if you were on the ice already and then I saw you guys still on the other side of the glass."

"Well it wasn't like I could actually tell him I was with Sid."

"Or that he would have believed you. Come on, go stand by the ice where the girls are. He should be over soon."

Karen and Natalie got closer and watched the guys act like little boys. She found Sidney and saw him embrace Billy. The tears wanted to fall again when she saw the friendship that had grown between them. Sidney had found his dad and skated over to hug him. While he was hugging him, Sidney looked behind him and saw Karen. She was standing there with a smile for him and waited until he was done. Sidney got out of the hug with his dad and he skated right over to Karen enveloping her into a huge hug. His head went into the nook of her neck and she heard him silently cry out his emotions that brought out a few more tears from her.

"You did it Sid" she whispered into his ear.

"You helped me do it baby. I love you."

"I love you too." They stayed together for a few more minutes before they broke away. As much as Karen wanted to kiss him, Sidney surprised her and kissed her lips with a quick but passionate kiss. He mouthed 'I love you' again and went to hug his sister and mom before going back to center ice with the guys.

Everyone watched Geno skate over and get the Conn Smythe trophy and when the Stanley Cup came out, Karen couldn't wait for the image that would forever live in her mind. Gary Bettman called over Sidney and they took a picture before he grabbed it and hoisted it over his head with a scream of excitment. Sidney skated around the ice with the roar of the crowd and the team behind him. He came back around and the first person he handed it off to was Billy Guerin. When he handed it off, Pierre McGuire got him for an interview. Karen couldn't really hear what he was saying but she just watched him and the excitment that was all over his face. When they were done, Sidney went back to the guys and watched them celebrate while skating around. After more than an hour of celebrating on the ice, Sidney got the cup back and they went into the locker room. Karen had already headed in with Natalie to wait for the guys to come in. They were outside of the locker room when they went past and Max had grabbed Natalie to go in with him. Sidney was the last one in and took the Cup in, setting it down before he came back out to grab Karen.

During the celebration inside the locker room, Karen just stood back with Natalie, Vero, and a couple other wives as their men sprayed champagne and saviored the moment.

"Looks like we've been replaced for 48 hours at least" Vero said.

"Sidney can't keep his hands off that thing" Natalie added laughing.

"Yes, he touched me like that once upon a time" Karen said getting the girls to laugh.

Nathalie came over to group "what are you guys giggling about over here?"

"Just that we lost our men for a couple days" Karen told her.

"Well you should be used to it Karen."

"Um, Rick didn't look like he was molesting the thing. Sid won't let go of it."

"Mario was the same way. Once the Cup is gone and everyone heads home to wait for it on their day, he'll get better."

"A day to look forward to...to be forgotten about again."

"At least you can look forward to him wanting it there for the wedding."

"You and Sid are getting married?" Vero asked with a shocked but excited tone.

"Yeah, sometime over the summer maybe in August. Nothing is definite yet."

"Oh my god" she said happily as she hugged her.

"Could I ask one favor though?"

"Sure, anything."

"Could you not really say anything right now? We're kind of keeping it low key until it actually happens."

"I understand girl, trust me."

"Thanks." Karen saw Sidney get pulled away and figured it was to go infront of the media. She thought about going with him, but decided to stay with the girls. After a while, Sidney wasn't back yet and Karen excused herself to go look for him. He was outside of the locker room with Stan Savran and Billy Guerin. She stood back and listened and watched his face as Billy just praised Sid. Karen ducked back into the locker room and waited for him to come back. A couple minutes later, Sidney came in, saw Karen and grabbed her taking her off to the side.

Sidney wrapped his arms around her, kissing her "I've been wanting to do that all night."

"It's a good thing we're out of sight from the Cup, don't want it to get jealous now."

"What are you talking about?" he asked confused.

"Just that you haven't let go of that thing since you got it. You have had a hand on it almost every minute you've been in the locker room like it's all a dream and it's going to slip away at any moment."

"Aw, is my baby getting jealous?"

"Maybe. Tell you what stud, you promise to touch me like that later and I won't complain about the Cup coming between us for a few days."

"You have my promise on that. Believe me, I can't wait to get you back to Pittsburgh and alone."

"That might be hard with the nonstop party that will continue until probably Monday."

"No way baby, once we get back it's on" he said pressing his body into hers and kissing her.

"This would turn me on more if you weren't so padded down there."

"I guess I could change into a pair of shorts."

"And I'm sure everyone here would love to see that too."

"Don't be a smartass baby. This is for your eyes only."

"You better always remember that too stud." Sidney kissed her again before leaving her, finding a pair of shorts and heading to the bathroom to change. The night had gone on and Mario had gone around getting the family members together so the guys could shower and change to head back to Pittsburgh. Sidney tried and tried to get Karen to go on the team plane with him but she told him to enjoy the plane ride home with the guys and she would see him when he got home.

As Karen and Natalie got comfortable on the plane, Nathalie made sure to tell them to head to the house for the after party. They said they would stop by after they went home to change. A couple hours later, the families landed in Pittsburgh and went their separate ways but with plans to meet at Mario's when the guys landed. Karen and Natalie headed to her house to get a shower and change clothes. They decided to chill at the house until they heard the team plane had landed before going over to Mario's.

About a half hour later, Sidney and a few of the guys started to trickle in with Sidney toting the Stanley Cup with him. He saw Karen and put the Cup down going over to her.

"I brought you a change of clothes in case you wanted to be comfortable the rest of the night" she said handing him a duffle bag.

"Come with me while I change?" he said giving her a look she couldn't refuse.

"Will the Cup mind? I don't want to cause a riff so soon in the relationship."

"I think it'll be in good hands until we come back." Sidney smiled and took her hand leading her to his old room. Mario had said it would always be his incase he needed a place to stay. They made sure no one paid attention to see them leave and headed to the room. Once inside the room, Sidney locked the door and put the bag down before he scooped Karen up and headed straight to the bed "weren't we suppose to do this at center ice at some point tonight?"

"I don't think they would have allowed that at the Joe stud."

"Could have been fun though."

"Would have been cold and crowded with all those people around, especially your parents and the media."

"It would have been a good show though."

"I think you've had way too much to drink tonight."

"That may be true, but I am well aware of what I want right now."

"Eventhough I know, humor me and tell me what you want."

Sidney leaned down and kissed her "you" he said with hunger in his voice. Karen smiled at him before diving in for another kiss. They did away with their clothes slowly, feeling every inch of skin that appeared to them. When they were both completely naked, Sidney picked her up and set her on the bed, making sure his body fully covered hers. They laid together kissing and feeling each other's bodies not wanting to rush any part of this, eventhough there was a houseful of people looking for them. Karen's hand moved inbetween their bodies and found him getting hard with every touch she made. Sidney knew one more light touch and they would have to start from the beginning. He moved Karen's hand and put his own between them but only over Karen's heated center. He could feel the heat and dove in to feel the wetness her body was producing from his touch. They both couldn't stand it anymore and Karen parted her legs to gve Sidney full access. He took advantage and plunged inside of her going slow and staying still for a minute.

"Start moving Sid. Oh god, please move inside of me" she whispered as Sidney kissed her neck.

Sidney kept his lips planted on her neck, under the ear as his hips began to move. He would pump into her with an upward motion and Karen tighten her grip on his back every time he hit her g-spot. Karen arched her back, pressing her full breasts and swollen nipples into his chest. Her moans started to float out of her mouth and Sidney kissed her to keep her from screaming.

"Are you close baby" he asked her while his cock assualted her inner being.

"Oh god yes, make me explode Sid."

Sidney smiled and stopped only to roll them over so Karen was on top. She took control and sat up riding him like it was their last time together. Putting her hands on his chest, she felt her body temperature rise and clamped down hard onto his cock as her orgasm rocked through her body. She kept moving until Sidney let out a moan and released all his juices into her core. Karen slowed down to milk out every drop before lying down onto his chest.

"Now that was worth the wait."

"So are you saying that if I flew home with you, we would have done this on the plane?"

"Anything is possible in this relationship."

"More like anything sexual is possible."

"Just stop, you love all the sex that we have."

Karen looked up at him "I think the guy has something to do with it to."

"Good to know" he said kissing her for the hundredth time that night. "Maybe we should head back to the party before anyone gets suspicious."

"Not like we don't know what you're doing in there Crosby" a voice said from the other side of the door.

"I don't think I want to go out there just yet" Karen said blushing.

"Come on Darryl, others want to use the room to you know."

"Well give us a few mintues to get dressed and we'll be out" Sidney yelled back to the door. "Guess this will be the most popular room in the house tonight" he said to get Karen laughing. They both got up and got dressed. As soon as Sidney opened the door, there stood Max, Natalie, Jordan, Heather and Marc with Vero. Karen just shook her head when the three couples began arguing who was going in next.

"Why do I think Mario should charge for that room tonight?"

"Not like he needs the money. Since it's my room, maybe I should charge them?"

"You don't need the money either stud" she said as they headed back to the party.

Chapter 146

Before Karen left for work Friday morning, she got a few things together so she wouldn't have to worry about it when she got home. She felt nervous all morning because it was a definitely do or die game tonight at the Joe. She didn't know what could be going through Sidney's mind but hoped he would be good to go at game time.

Karen had gotten home and Natalie was already there waiting for her on the porch.

"Um, why didn't you just let yourself in?"

"I forgot where the hide-a-key is."

"Its where it always is."

"No it's not. I looked and figured you moved it around. If you told me, I must have fogotten."

"I didn't move it. Maybe Sidney did and didn't tell me."

"Well it doesn't matter. I was only here for twenty mnutes before you showed up."

"Ok. I just need to go to the bathroom and get something to eat real quick. I am starving since I didn't eat anything during break."

"Well say no more, stopped and grabbed a couple sandwiches at Subway before heading over."

"Ah, you are a lifesaver." They headed inside and ate before needing to meet everyone up at Mario's.

"What do you think their chances are for tonight?"

"I hope the momentum is still there for them from Tuesday. I won't be able to stand seeing Sid like he was last year again. They deserve this and I hope it happens for them."

"I know what you mean. With dating Max and knowing a lot of the guys, I don't think I can see them go through it either. Maybe this year is different, just wish Diane and Sheril could have came too."

"I asked them but with Sheril's husband out of town and Di couldn't get off work for Saturday morning, they weren't able to come."

"We'll just have to invite them to all the parties when we get back."

"That we will" she said as they finished eating then got ready to head to Mario's.

Once everyone was together, they headed to the airport and then to Detroit. Karen hoped they would get there before the guys took their naps and got to spend some time with Sidney before the game. Not that she cared if anything happened to pump him up before the game, but she wanted to see what frame of mind he was in. When the plane landed, they found out that the guys were at the hotel and Karen told Mario that she and Natalie would take a cab there since everyone was headed to the arena. He just smiled and told her it was fine, giving them their tickets and passes for when they got to the arena later.

In the cab ride to the hotel, Karen had sent a text to Sidney to ask him what room he was in. He sent a message back telling her what room he was in and also what room Max was in so Natalie would know. The got to the hotel and went directly to the elevator. Once it stopped on the floor, Natalie went to Max's room and Karen walked a few doors away to Sidney's. She knocked on the door and waited for him to answer. As soon as the door opened, Sidney wrapped his arms around her and picked her up bringing her inside the room.

"It's about damn time you got here baby" he said kissing her.

"Well a plane will only go so fast stud. Were you getting ready for your nap?"

"Let's see, I was laying down and thinking of you was keeping me from sleep so I'm wide awake now."

Karen saw the look in his eyes "Sid, you need to be focused and ready for the game tonight."

Sidney began to peel off her clothes and followed with his shorts and t-shirt "there is only one way I can get focused and ready" he said walking her to the bed and having her crawl up onto to it with him getting behind her "care to help me?"

Karen sat up on her knees and turned her head kissing him "well, it does appear that I am available to do that." Sidney had her fall back onto her hands so he could enter her from behind. He got a rhythm going before bringing her back up to his chest. Karen moved one of his hands from her hip to her mound and if on instinct Sidney began to rub over her clit. Karen's orgasm began to rise within her and she grabbed the sheets around her as she came with a fury of passion. Sidney held onto her hips tighter, making her come down on him harder until he unleashed his own. They sat there for a few minutes before laying down and Sidney curled up behind her. Karen turned her head to offer her lips to him in a heated kiss. She broke the kiss and let Sidney get some sleep.

An hour later, the alram went off and Sidney turned it off and rolled back over to Karen who was lying there looking at him. "Mmm, hey baby."

"Hey. Get enough sleep for tonight?"

"Yeah I did. How about you?"

"I really wasn't that tired, just watched you sleep instead."

"I guess I didn't do my job then."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm suppose to tire you out baby."

"You usually do stud, but I just wasn't tired since I fell asleep on the plane ride here."

"Well I need to get my shower, care to join me again?"

"I would love to, but I'm going to say no this time. Go get ready stud."

"I guess it's going to be a cold shower" he said mumbling his way to the bathroom to make Karen laugh. She got up and got dressed, waiting for him to come out. When he was done, Sidney came out and got dressed. "Ready to go get some dinner with your handsome husband?"

"I would love to, is he here?" she said as they walked out the door.

"You know, it's a good thing that I love you so much" he said closing the door behind them and walking towards the elevator. Karen just smiled and kissed him getting a smile from his lips. They went downstairs and met up with the rest of the guys for dinner.

A half hour later, Sidney and Karen were making their way back up to the room so Sidney could finish getting ready to head to the arena. He was getting his tie on and Karen went to sit infront of him to tie it for him.

"This is the last time you'll be doing this baby."

"Not really. I'm sure there will be other events that I will have the pleasure of doing this. I kind of enjoy it" she said pulling the knot closer to his neck and straightening the tie.

"I kind of enjoy how close you are to me. If I didn't need to go play hockey right now, we'd be taking the tie back off."

"Well you still had it on in the suite on Tuesday and I think that was a little bit of a turn on that I didn't take it off you."

"Just like when I kept the jersey on you...so sexy if I do say so myself."

"Is this preparing you for the game at all?" she said smiling.

"Any feeling of nerves that I had are gone if that's what you mean."

"How are you nervous Sid? You've played this game for practically all your life."

"I know and it's not so much the game I'm nervous about."

"It's what this game represents huh?"

Sidney walked over to the bed and sat down "I could lose it all tonight Karen."

Karen got off the dresser and went to kneel infront of him "and you could win everything you've dreamed about since you were 3. No one knows how this game will end until the final buzzer sounds."

"And you'll still be cheering for me no matter how it does?"

"Haven't you learned that by now? Even when we were apart, I still cheered for you and that will never change."

"Tell me" he said looking into her eyes and Karen knew exactly what he needed to hear.

"This is your game Sid. Whether you score all the goals or none of them...this is your dream. Go get it."

Sidney brought his hand up and caressed her cheek "I love you."

"I love you too" she said leaning up to kiss him "Come on stud, go make me proud."

Karen stood up and brought Sidney with her "forever and always baby." They shared another kiss and headed to the arena.

As the game started, everyone was up in a suite watching the game unfold. The first period came and went with no goals from either team. As the second period started and with more than a minute into the period Max shot the puck and scored. Karen and Natalie erupted with happiness. But for Karen, that happiness dulled when four minutes later Sidney got pressed into the boards and got hurt. Karen watched with pain in her heart as he limped off the ice. As Mario and Troy turned to see if she was ok, Karen was out of the suite and heading down to the locker room. She ran passed everyone, flashing her pass and headed to the trainer's room when she didn't see him in the locker room. Sidney was sitting on the table and saw her come in.

"How did I know you'd be down here?"

"Because we think too much alike. How bad is it?"

"I don't know if I'll be able to finish the game. They're numbing it now so we'll see for the third, but I'm definitely done for the rest of the second." And if on cue, half the crowd erupted as they heard that Max had scored again to give the Pens the lead at 2-0. "Baby, I'm ok. Go back up and watch the rest of the game."

"I'm not going back up until the second period is over and I know for sure you're ok."

"Wow, she's a determined one" the trainer said.

"Yeah she is" Sidney said taking her hand in his, letting her stay with him for a while longer. When the trainer was done, Karen helped Sidney into the locker room and back to his stall.

"So what happened?"

"I was going for the puck to take it down ice and Franzen came with a check. I tried to jump out of the hit and his body caught my leg against the top on the boards. They said it could be a deep bruise."

"Let's hope it's not more serious then that and you can finish the game."

"That's all I want right now baby" he said kissing her cheek. Just then, someone came in and told them that the second period was about over and Karen knew she needed to leave. "I'll be alright baby, go watch the rest of the game."

"Ok, but if you do try and there's too much pain, don't push it."

"Famous last words from someone who did the opposite in the Olympics."

"I'm stubborn and didn't have another twenty years of hockey to play. Just becareful, that's all I'm asking."

"I will baby. See you when it's over." Karen just nodded and kissed him before she left the locker room. She got through the crowd and back to the suite a few minutes later.

"Is it bad?" Troy asked.

"Right now they seem to think it's just a deep bruise in the lower thigh muscle. They won't know until Sidney gets it checked but they don't think its his knee or anything too drastic."

"So Sidney's going to try and play on it?" Mario asked.

"You know Sid but yeah, he'll try a shift and see after that."

"He'll be ok Troy" Trina said "if Sid is really hurt, he would've told Karen the truth to not make her worry."

"Or do something to jeopardize his hockey career" Karen added and they all nodded in agreement. Karen excused herself and got something to drink, going back over to Natalie and waited for the third period to begin.

As the third period was about to start, Karen saw Sidney skate around testing his leg. She saw him move it around and she kind of knew he wouldn't be playing much. He didn't start the third and waited a couple shifts before going out. Karen watched him more than the play and could see he was having trouble turning. When he skated to the bench after the shift, she knew he was done.

"You ok?" Natalie asked her.

"He's done for the game Nat, his leg must be hurting."

"He'll be ok."

"I know he'll be fine but this is going to kill him sitting on the bench with 3/4 of the game remaining." Natalie gave her friend a reassuring hug as they continued watching the game.

The Pens were able to hold off the Red Wings until there was about 6 minutes left when they scored to cut their lead in half. Everyone in the suite looked at each other and prayed that another one wouldn't follow. As the time ticked down, Karen and Natalie felt a little more nervous as the Wngs were putting a surge of shots towards Marc-Andre. Karen would watch the numbers fall off and when there was close to a second left, she saw the puck go to Lidstrom. She held onto Natalie as her breath caught in her throat as he took a hard wrist shot towards the net....
