Chapter 142

In the car, on their way to Barkcamp, Karen and Natalie tried to do everything possible to get Max and Sidney to smile and have fun. They were telling stories and stupid jokes waiting for them to comment. Karen thought she heard a laugh come from Max but when she looked back at him, he hid his smile. She shook her head and gave up, deciding to play around finding something on the radio. When she couldn't find anything, Karen went through some CDs she brought and put in Nickleback. Natalie told her to advance it to their song and Karen did. Ever since their CD came out, this one song was perfect for her and her friends. As the song started, Karen turned up the volume and she and Natalie began to sing along.

Well it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
Oh That shit makes me bat shit crazy
We've got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out

We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

Sidney just glanced at Max in the rear view mirror and they both just shook their heads at how their women were acting as they continued singing along.

Oh We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
Oh We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced
We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown

We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

Oh Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the nights gone
Well get you hands off of this glass, last call my ass
Well no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop
We got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out

We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

Oh We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

"God I love that song" Natalie said.

"I know, kind of fits us when we go out."

"You know, the few times I've been out with all you guys, you've been pretty tamed Karen."

"Then you haven't been with us at the right time Maxwell."

"Yeah we tone it down when we have new people around us" Natalie added.

"All it is Max are four women just unwinding down their busy lives. Besides, when you guys aren't around it gives us a chance to brag about you" she said.

Max looks to Natalie then to Karen "what has she told you?"

"Sorry Max, but all alcoholic conversations are private and are never repeated."

"Don't worry bunnybear, it's all flattering."

Karen couldn't hold in her laugh "um...bunnybear?" she said looking at Sidney who started laughing.

"That name wasn't suppose to leave my house sex muffin" Max said getting back at Natalie.

"I'm so glad we have normal pet names for each other" Sidney said then kissed Karen's hand he was holding.

"You know those names do not leave this car Karen" Natalie said in a warning tone.

"I can promise they won't but after a few drinks when another personality takes over, all bets are off."

"Well I will just have to keep them quiet...all of them." They all laughed and continued on. An hour later, they reached the park and Sidney went to park the car.

"What should we do first?"

"How about horseback riding?" Karen said and the others agreed. They went to the stables and everyone got a horse they liked.

"Oh, excuse me sir" Max said getting the attention of the man in charge "will that horse be able to hold the weight of Sid's massive ass?"

Sidney looked at Karen who was obviously trying not to laugh "you think that's funny baby?"

"No...why, what, why would you ask that?" she said finally letting her giggle escape. She moved her horse beside Sidney's and leaned over to him and kissed his cheek "sorry stud."

Sidney got the horse moving "I'll remember that when you want this ass." Karen just laughed and caught up to him. The four of them got on one of the trails and slowed down, taking the scenery all in. They came to a clearing and just sat there looking at all the trees and couldn't believe how peaceful it was. They rode around for the rest of the hour and then brought the horses back.

They headed back to the car and Max took a couple bottles of water and Natalie's hand "we'll meet up with you guys in about a half and hour. We're going for a little hike."

Karen and Sidney just watched them walk away "you going to talk to me now? Or do I find something to do on my own until they come back?"

Sidney pressed Karen up against the car and kissed her passionately "I think we can find something to do together. Can you find the trail that leads to that clearing with the rocks we sat on last year?"

"Sure can." Sidney grabbed some water for them and they headed off in the direction. "Feeling better?"

"Definitely. Thank you baby for suggesting this. I think this is what Max and I needed."

They made it up to the top of the hill and saw the rocks, but saw something else "I think Max needed something else." As Karen said it, Sidney looked at the rocks and saw them having sex upagainst the rock.

"I guess Max had the same thought that I had."

"Is that why you wanted to come up here? I thought it was because we had a special moment last year."

"It wasn't the only reason baby. We would've talked...afterwards."

Karen turned and started to walk down the trail "I guess we'll just have to wait until we go swimming." Sidney smiled and joined her taking her hand as they walked down. They saw where the path veared off and they follow it. It led to a smaller clearing and a view of the lake down below. Sidney wrapped his arms around Karen and they stood there without needing any words. A few minutes later he turned her around to face him and kissed her for what felt like forever until they noticed the time and headed back down to meet Max and Natalie.

They got in the car and headed to the lake to go swimming. When Sidney pulled up, there were a lot of cars there, but they were able to head to the side and still be away from them. Karen and Natalie got the blankets put down and stripped down to their bathing suits they had on under their clothes. Sidney took Karen's hand and led her to the water, getting in and swimming out a bit to be alone. Karen wrapped her arms around Sidney's neck and legs around his hips.

"Is someone getting impatient?"

"No, I just can't touch like you can and instead of floating, you're going to hold me up."

"Oh" sounding a little dejected "so you don't want something to happen then?"

"I don't remember saying that stud, but with all these kids around is it possible?"

Sidney looked over her shoulder and saw some kids playing rather close to them "maybe not to the extent, but I can make it one sided right now" he said letting one hand reach her mound and started to rub over her. Karen looked into his eyes like she was giving him permission to go further and finish what he's starting. Sidney sneaked his hand inside her bikini bottom and inserted a couple fingers inside. Karen closed her eyes and Sidney just watched her facial expressions of her enjoyment. Before long, Karen couldn't hold it any longer and let her orgasm go. She bit her lip to keep from screaming out and put her forehead against Sidney's until she calmed down.

"Was this what you had planned to do at the clearing?"

"Well maybe in the beginning, but I would have had a different ending planned."

"I'll make it up to you when we get home, I promise."

"I have no doubt you will baby." They swam around for a little longer especially when Max came to join them. Karen swan towards the beach to let the boys play around and found Natalie lying on the blanket.

"How's the water?"

"Fabulous. You should go in."

"I will in a few minutes when the younglings finish horsing around" she said as they looked out to see Sidney and Max trying to dunk each other.

"They are a bunch of little boys not wanting to grow up. Did you and Max have a little fun of your own by the rocks at the clearing?" Karen asked not looking at her and laying down.

"Oh god, you saw that?"

"Only for about a half a second and then we left."

"We? So Sidney was with you?" she said nervously.

"Nat calm down, if anything we saw Max's ass and that was enough for either of us. Do you realize that everytime the four of us get together, all I see is Max's naked white ass?"

"Don't get attached to it because it's all mine."

"That's fine with me, I like what's attached my man's ass. I hope I didn't offend you about the marriage talk at lunch yesterday. I know how hockey players are and Max fits that profile. It's even been documented on the internet with all these pictures of him and different girls. I don't want to see you get hurt."

"Maybe Max and I are just playing around right now and we'll see what happens at the start of next season. If we're still together great, but if he wants something else or someone else I can't hold him back if it's not me. It'll be ok Karen, all crushes hurt a little and if they didn't they would have to come up with another name for it." Karen looked at her best friend and smiled "I think I'm brave enough to go join my bunnybear in the water."

"Have fun" Karen said watching her head to the water and then closed her eyes letting the sun dry her.

Twenty minutes later, Sidney got out of the water and headed to the beach. He saw Karen lying there and leaned over her letting the water drip off of him and onto her "wake up sleeping beauty."

"I would but the water dragon is spewing all over me" she said getting up and was immediately pulled into a wet hug "I was dry you know."

"Well now you can dry with me" he said kissing her neck before leaning down and grabbing a towel.

Karen looked out to the water and saw Max and Natalie playing around before he grabbed her and kissed her "do you think that's going to last out there?"

"Who, Max and Nat?"

"Yeah. Do you think that will last for a while or that Max will dump her when the season starts next year?"

"Where is all this coming from?"

"I told Diane and Sheril about us getting married" she said seeing his look "it's fine, they won't say anything. But Sheril made the comment that we only needed to get Nat and Max together and then the four of us would be married and then I kind of made a raised eyebrow move knowing it wouldn't happen."

"Because you think Max is a player and he'll get bored with her."

"Sid, I know he's your friend and teammate and I love Max to death, you know this. But yes, I've seen how he is with women and for my friend to not get her hopes up I told her that I didn't see anything really happening between them but casual dating."

"People can change baby and Max may surprise you. You said it youself that Natalie was good for him and I think he's taken that to heart. Just leave them be and deal with it when it happens."

"You know if he does hurt her I will have to kill him."

Sidney wraps his arms around her "both Max and I are fully aware of that baby" he said then kissed her. They sat back down on the blanket and dried off. Soon Max and Natalie joined them and the got into the cooler to eat some lunch that the girls packed. After an hour of drying and talking the four of them got dressed and headed back to Pittsburgh.

When they got back to Karen's, there was a note on the door and she went to grab it, reading what it said...

Sidney,
Stopped by but you or Karen weren't home. We are over at Mario's and you have been invited over for dinner tonight at 7p. If we don't hear from you before 6:30p, I will give you a call. Love you,
Mom

"It's only 4:28p now, wonder what time they got in" he said looking at his watch.

"You going to call them and tell them we're home?"

"Yeah, maybe I can get an invite for Max and Nat."

"Don't worry about it man, we've got other plans" Max said smiling at Natalie and they got in his car and left after they all said goodbye.

"Well don't take to long" Karen said walking inside "I'm going for a shower and it could get awful lonely in there" she said kissing him and then headed upstairs.

Chapter 141

It was Saturday morning and Karen had called her friends on Friday to invite them out to an early lunch before the game that night. She had everything planned and they would just head to Karen's house after they ate to watch the game. She got some things done around the house and soon it was time for her to get a shower and then meet the girls at a local restaurant.

An hour later, the four friends sat at a booth secluded away from the other tables. Since it was lunch, the restaurant wasn't crowded and could accommodate Karen's request.

"So what's with the hidden away private lunch?"

"Who says it's private?"

"Come on Karen, we're all the way in the back with no one around, something is up" Diane asked suspciously.

"Ok, well I have news and I guess I wanted the privacy to share it."

"Well what is it?" Sheril asked impatiently. Karen smiled and held up her left hand "yeah, yeah...so. We've all seen your ring that Sidney bought for you."

Diane did a double take and took her hand to look closer "um Sheril, you might want to take a closer look. There's something else with it."

"Let me see" she said grabbing her hand and pulling it across the table making Karen jump out of her seat a little.

"Ow, I do use this hand."

Sheril looked at her hand and saw another ring accompanying the diamond ring "are you shittin me? Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes. Sidney asked me to marry him and I said yes. The funny part is, we got married that same night."

"When did this happen?" Diane asked quietly.

"In April."

"APRIL!" both Diane and Sheril screamed getting the few patrons to look at them. "Wait, why aren't you saying anything Nat?"

"Because I already knew."

"I didn't mean to keep it from you guys, Nat found out not too long ago. When Sid asked me it was on our anniversary. I stayed around the arena and after everyone left, we went for a midnight skate. He asked me and after I said yes, he had everything planned to do it that night. We both decided to not were our wedding bands because we wanted to wait until after the season ended to renew our vows and then let everyone know before the start of next season. Sidney knew he couldn't keep it from the guys on the team and they all knew."

"So is that how you found out Nat?"

"Sort of but it doesn't matter. I understood why she needed to keep it quiet and I could've spilled the beans but I knew she wanted to tell you guys."

"I so wanted to tell you all after it happened, but I knew you guys would understand to why I waited."

"We do understand Karen" Diane said taking her hand.

"Of course we do" Sheril added "we know what could've happened if it got out and the backlash both you and Sid would have gotten. We are more than happy for you woman."

"Thanks guys."

"So when would the wedding be?"

"He wants it to be on his birthday but it will depend when he goes home later this month if the church is available."

"So we need to keep this to ourselves for at least two months?"

"If you guys don't mind."

"Of course not. Now all we need is to get that one" pointing to Natalie "and Max to make the jump then we all would be married."

"Ya'll need to slow down on the marriage talk with me and Max."

"It'll happen, don't worry" Diane said getting an eyebrow raised from Karen as she took a drink.

"What was that look for?" Natalie asked her friend.

"What look?" Karen said trying to be nice.

"Karen don't. Do you not see Max and I together like that?"

"Nat, I just don't see Max as the marrying kind. I love him to death and you know that but he attracts every type of woman and if he settles down, it's not going to be for a long time. I don't want to see your hopes get crushed."

"I know you have my best interest at heart Kiki but I'm not ready for marriage anytime soon. If we're together long enough then maybe it would be nice but I'm fine just dating him right now."

"I hope it does work out for you guys. I'd have to shun him if he ever dumped you."

"I think we all would." The girls shared a laugh and enjoyed the rest of their lunch. They stayed around talking and drinking a little bit then headed back to Karen's house. It was a couple hours until the game started and they sat around watching all the pre-game shows. Everytime they showed Sidney or talked about him, Karen couldn't help but smile. She knew she loved him, she just didn't really realize how bad. She looked down at the wedding band and hated to take it off but didn't want to draw attention to it. Some people have caught on that she was dating him, she didn't need to give them a reason to wonder more.

It was finally game time and from start to finish, to say the girls were shocked would be an understatement. The Wings had routed the Penguins 5-0 and put a thought of fear in every Pens fan wonering if this is where the series ends. Karen didn't know what to think by the loss and wondered even more by what Sidney had to be thinking.

"I can't believe this game was so lopsided" Sheril said still shocked.

"I know. I wonder what the guys are thinking" Natalie said.

"I don't know but Sidney will be going around with this in his head all the way home."

"Wait, there's Sidney now talking to the press." Karen just watched his facial expressions more then hearing what he had to say. She knew he knew how to handle the press and answer without any emotions but she could see it was hard to keep it in. Karen went to get her phone and sent Sidney a text before his interview was over. When they cut back to the post game highlights, Karen's phone went off.

Hey baby...sorry

you ok?

yeah, can't wait to get home and have you hold me to forget tonight

I can provide other comfort too you know :)

I may need that too. going to get my shower so I'll see you in a few hours

ok. I love you!

mmm, I needed to hear that. I love you too

Karen shut her phone and then said goodnight to Diane and Sheril. She told them they were more than welcome to stay but they knew under the circumstances, it would be better if they left. She understood and watched her friends leave. Natalie had stayed around for another hour before heading to Max's to hopefully make him feel better.

Around 1:30a, Karen heard a car pull up and she got off the couch, looking out the window. She saw Sidney's SUV but no sign of him. She knew he was just sitting in the car and went out to see him. Karen knocked on the window and Sidney didn't look at her, just made the move to put the window down.

"It's a little more comfortable in the house but if you prefer to stay out here, I can go get you a pillow and blanket." Karen thought she saw him crack a smile and went on "of course if you come inside, you can spend the night with a naked woman."

Sidney turned his head and looked at her "but you're not naked."

"That's because there's a law against that in public. You have to come in and see it since it's for your eyes only."

"I'll be in, in a minute."

"Sid..." Karen started.

"Baby please. I just need another couple minutes."

"Ok" she said leaning in the window to kiss his cheek then walked back into the house.

A few minutes later, Sidney walked inside and went over to the couch to sit beside Karen. She reached for the remote to turn off the tv and they just sat there in silence. She didn't want to say the wrong things and waited for Sidney to start the conversation.

"I can't believe we played that badly tonight. It was like we, as a group said goodbye to the Cup for the second straight year."

"Sid, it's not over yet."

"Maybe not but it feels like it. You watched the game, what did you think?"

"I think coming off the two wins here made you guys too confident about the rest of the series and Detroit brought you guys back down to reality that it's not over yet but could be in a blink of an eye. They just got a surge of energy from their fans Sid. Tuesday night is a different game in a different arena. You proved that you CAN win in Detroit this year...you just have to do that for one game."

"What if we don't get that one last game?"

Karen turned his head to look at her and she saw the tears forming "then you and the guys need to dig deep and go out to make that happen on Tuesday. This team has been through it all this year going up and down and you guys fought to make the playoffs. Fight to keep this series alive and show the world you guys are the better team this year. Your fans already know you are."

"How do you do that?" he said almost laughing.

"Do what?"

"Be this right about everything."

"I just thought I was telling you the truth."

"Yeah you were, hence the being right part."

"Do you want me to sit here and gloat about it?"

"It's not your style. Thank you baby."

"Anytime stud. Why don't we forget this night and head up to bed. You look like you need some sleep."

"I don't want to disappoint my number 1 fan by falling asleep on her."

"Don't worry about her, she understands" she said getting up and pulling him with her "besides, she wants you to save it all for Tuesday night." Karen grabbed his hand and they headed upstairs. She got into bed and waited for Sidney to change and join her.

"If you weren't here Karen, I would be up all night picking apart the game" he said holding her close to his body.

"You're still going to do that stud, I'm just here to make it easier."

"You know me too well baby."

"Remember that for the future, now try and get some sleep." Karen curled up against him as close as she could get as Sidney tightened his grip around her. She feel asleep instantly but Sidney took a few more minutes before he could let everything go and close his eyes.

A little later, Sunday morning, Karen woke up and felt for Sidney. He wasn't beside her and she had a feeling he went to work out. The loss rattled his mind about thinking the team could really win the Cup and she knew he needed to clear his mind. Karen got up and went to get ready to spend the day with Sidney when he got back.

Two hours later, Karen heard a car pull up and saw it was Max with Natalie.

"Well finally, a hockey player who actually knows what a day off is."

"I figured instead of him sitting around contemplating what went wrong, the four of us would get together and do something fun to take their minds off the loss."

"You couldn't find something to do to take your mind off it Max?" Karen said smiling.

"We tried that last night and this morning but it's still there. Where's Sid?"

"Where do you think? I'm sure there's ice involved somewhere." They sat around talking until Sidney finally came home a half hour later.

"Hey Max, Nat. What are you guys doing here?" he said going over to give Karen a kiss and sit down beside her.

"I brought Max over for a playdate."

"Thanks but this is my only playmate" he said putting his arm around Karen.

"Someone's feeling better."

"A few hundred slap shots into the net will do that. So are we doing something today?"

"Might as well before coach puts us through a grueling practice tomorrow" Max said.

"What do you guys want to do?"

"I have an idea" Karen said getting everyone to look at her "let's go someplace that's peaceful but with lots to do."

"Where?" Sidney asked curious.

"Let's head to Barkcamp State Park. We can go swimming, hiking, maybe even go horseback riding."

"What's Barkcamp?" Max asked confused.

"It's this state park in Ohio that Karen and I would go to as kids. It's out of the way and no one should recognize you. Come on Max, let's go have some fun."

"Sure, why not."

"Sid?"

"I don't think there's any other place I'd rather go today baby. Let's get ready." Karen took Natalie upstairs so she could pick out a bathing suit to wear. Max said he would swim in his shorts and waited for everyone to get ready. Twenty minutes later, they all piled into Sidney's SUV and headed on their trip.

Chapter 140

A while later, Sidney woke up and remembered where he was. He saw Karen lying infront of him and he started to kiss her neck. She began to stir and turned her head to face him, letting their lips attack each other's. After a few minutes, Sidney let go of Karen and sat up causing her to sit up as well. He moved to where his back was up against the couch and he motioned for Karen to come join him. She sat infront of him, spreading her legs over his and they sat there facing each other.

"You're not going to be able to go back to Detroit for game 5 are you?"

"Doesn't look like it. But you'll only be gone for one day."

"And we should get Sunday off as an actual day off."

"Sid, you never take a day off. You'll still either go work out or find ice time for an hour or so."

"Can't help it, but if I go early enough then we can still have the whole day together."

"What ever gets you ready for game 6 here at the Igloo, do what you need to."

"I noticed something special was coming up in a couple of days" Sidney sat there smiling.

Karen thought for a second and knew what he was talking about "don't remind me."

"Baby come on, what do you want for your birthday?"

"Since you're playing game 6 on that night, all I want is for you guys to win."

"Well I can talk to the guys and I'm sure they'll oblige but isn't there anything else you want."

"Just you."

"Well you have me already."

"When you get older, birthday's are just another day. The only thing I want is for you to be happy and get one step closer to your dream. My dreams have all come true, there is nothing more I want."

"Ok, I was going to make sure you get a passion-filled night but if you have everything already..." Karen sat there smiling at him "see I knew there was something you wanted, what?"

"Maybe I have been thinking of another adventure at the arena. Since it is a home game and it will be my birthday..."

"Do you already have a place in mind?"

"Maybe I do but I don't want to say until Tuesday night."

"Keep it to yourself until then and after the game, you can tell me where you want to go."

"Would you be doing this with anyone else?"

"What?"

"Being this way? They way we are, would you be like this with other girls?"

"I don't know. Different people bring out different feelings but I don't think I could be this loving or sexual with anyone else."

"Are you only saying that to spare my feelings?"

"Maybe" he said and they both laughed "but if something happened between us, I don't think I could relive all we did together with some other girl. I would always have thoughts of you."

"Then I guess we need to never break up."

"Sounds like a plan to me baby." Sidney leaned forward to kiss her while his hand snuck inbetween them, taking his cock and placing it right inside her entrance. He removed his hand and grabbed her hips, bringing her up onto his lap letting her slide over him. Karen bent her knees, getting as close to him as she could. The tightness of their being so close was more then they could handle. Sidney moved his hands to her ass and helped Karen's movements on him. She stayed close to his body, moving her hips upward and gently rocking on her knees. Karen let out a heavy sigh when she felt Sidney take one of her nipples into his mouth, sucking on the now hard bud. Karen's hands went into his hair, grabbing around his curls and lightly tugging on it getting a low groan from him. She let her head fall forward as Sidney looked up at her, their lips finding each other once again. They stayed locked together as their orgasms came rushing through at an intense speed. Karen couldn't hold in the moan and released Sidney's lips to let it out. She heard Sidney growl and felt him pour the hot liquid into her. Karen milked out every drop before wrapping her arms around his shoulders and letting their foreheads come together, their breathing still erratic.

"Would you mind if I make a little request?"

"Anything you want baby, you know that. What do you want?"

"I want you to make love to me."

"Yeah because I'm just so confused as to what we've been doing for the last few hours."

"We've been having sex Sid....take me anyway you want me sex."

"I can agree to that. So what are you asking exactly?"

"I think you know exactly what I'm asking" Karen got up and started to walk out of the living room, turning around at the doorway "and when you figure it out, let me know." She walked upstairs and Sidney sat there for a minute before getting up, blowing out the candles and running upstairs after her. When he got to their bedroom, he heard the shower going and went to jon her. Karen stayed oblivious to Sidney's presence and continued to wash all over her body. Sidney stood back and just watched her, getting himself washed up. When Karen was done, she turned and faced Sidney "did you figure out what I want?"

"I've known all along what you wanted baby."

"We'll see about that" she said kissing him and stepping out of the shower. She dried off and left the bathroom, getting into bed. A few minutes later, she heard the water shut off and soon Sidney emerged, turning off the light and joining her in bed. He rolled directly on top of Karen and loved how she instinctively spread her legs for him to fit comfortably over her.

"Eventhough I already know, tell me again what you want. I want to hear the words come from your beautiful mouth" Sidney said looking into her eyes with hunger and passion.

"Make love to me" Karen said with want dripping off each word." Sidney slid himself inside of her for the fourth time that night. Their lips found their way to one another as the kiss fueled their lovemaking. Sidney went as slow as he could not wanting to rush it. He knew Karen wouldn't have minded for this was what she wanted. The moans and whimpers were muffled from their kiss that didn't end until they were. Karen broke the kiss with a content sigh as Sidney smiled at her.

"I think you enjoyed that" he said.

"I have a feeling we both enjoyed the whole evening."

"Well I know I did. It's not everyday I get to have hot sex with a woman of your beauty....wait, yes I do."

"Are you trying to ruin the moment stud?"

"Never" he said kissing her again "but you have to admit, we definitely have this part of the marriage down."

"Is that good or bad?"

"It's very good baby." Sidney pulled out of her and rolled off as Karen cuddled up to him like she normally did. "Are you really ok with Dave knowing about us?"

"Yeah. As long as he respects our privacy for another month and a half then I will be. But it's like a ticking time bomb and it can get out real quick."

"Baby, Dave is respected around the city and by every sports team. I think he knows better."

"I'm overreacting huh?"

"You're just being cautious of your very famous husband."

"Nah, that's not it."

"You know if I didn't love you as much as I did, I would probably be offended by that remark." Sidney kissed her head "go to sleep baby."

Karen looked up and met his lips "I love you."

"I love you too" he said before they both drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Karen had woken up a few hours later and carefully moved to look at the clock. She realized Sidney would be getting up in an hour to go to practice and then they were going to Detroit. She knew she told him she wouldn't really miss him but in reality she always did. Karen just laid there and stared at the features of Sidney's face, smiling to herself. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the alarm go off and Sidney woke up to turn it off. He turned back around and saw Karen awake and looking at him.

"Well look who's up?" he said pulling her closer to his body and kissing her.

"Looks like I'm not the only one up" she said feeling Sidney's growing erection against her body.

"I was hoping for a little good luck for tomorrow night's game."

"Mmm, I think I can definitely provide some good luck for you" Karen said before rolling Sidney onto his back and crawling on top of him.

"I like where this is going so far" he said feeling Karen slide down on him "I'm feeling lucky already" getting a giggle out of her. She leaned down and kissed him before sitting up and placing her hands on his chest. Karen began moving up and down, creating the right amount of friction between them. She closed her eyes and let the feelings take over when Sidney reached up to fondle her breasts. Karen let the moans start to fill the room as the anticipation of her orgasm began to build within her. She felt Sidney grow thicker inside her and loved how she could make him explode. As Karen's peak was rising and ready to let go, Sidney grabbed her hips and rolled them onto her back.

"Oo, someone had to be in control."

"You haven't felt control yet baby" he said as he pounded into her. Each hard thrust Sidney gave her, Karen's moans became louder. She couldn't hold on any longer letting her final moan let loose. Sidney kept his pace going and soon unleashed his own orgasm within minutes of hers. They laid there with their foreheads pressed together waiting for their breathing to slow down.

"Think this luck will hold out until tomorrow night" she said still breathing hard.

"If not, I have a very good memory to replay this over and over until it comes back."

"Really because I just think of new ways and it gets me going every time."

"New ways? Care to share any of that information?"

"I'll share one...on Tuesday night after the game."

"You're cruel baby."

"I know but I have to give you something to look forward to. Besides it might not be new, just a revamped position."

"I can deal with that, besides, I'd rather think up new ways with you as we try them."

"You're getting a little more adventurous there, what ever will people think?"

"I only care about what you think and how you feel afterwards."

"As long as you can keep making me feel this way, I think we have a very prominent sexual future ahead of us."

"Til death do us part baby." Sidney leaned in and kissed her then looked at the clock "I better get up and get ready."

"Then I will get up and make us some breakfast."

"Will you make me breakfast naked?"

"Will you be eating breakfast with me naked?"

"I don't think I have that kind of time baby."

"Then sorry, I don't think I can accommodate you either."

"Why do you do that to me?"

Karen pushed Sidney off of her and got up, getting dressed "because it's so much fun stud" she said leaning down to kiss him then left the room and Sidney still lying in bed looking at the ceiling and laughing. His laugh faded to a smile and realized he was the happiest he has been in a long time. He finally got up and went to get his shower. Twenty minutes later he went downstairs for breakfast with his wife. When they were done eating, Sidney went to get his bag as Karen cleaned up the kitchen, meeting him by the front door.

"I wish you would make the trip with every one. The game is Saturday night you do realize" he said wrapping his arms around her.

"Yes I know the game is on a Saturday, but I made plans with the girls and I've neglected them enough. I can't keep cancelling on them."

"I know and I do feel bad that it seems like I make you choose between me and them."

"You don't make me choose Sid, it's natural to want to be with you. I just think deep down they do get upset but being good friends, they won't say anything."

"Well I'm glad you have friends like that. Makes me worry less about you when we're apart."

"Wish I could say the same about you. I do worry and wonder what Max, Jordan and Flower has gotten you into on road trips. Hell, add Geno in there and scary thoughts will forever plague my mind."

"It's all good baby. My thoughts are always on you and the guys will agree to that. Apparently I never shut up about you."

"Ah, the new repellent for puck bunnies...talk nonstop about how in love you are with your wife."

"I guess I have no reason to ever shut up then" he said bringing her head in to meet his lips for a very heated and passionate kiss. "I love you baby."

"I love you too stud. Good luck and I'll see you Saturday night."

"Will you wait up for me?"

"In all my naked glory" she said smiling and brought him in for one last kiss "you better go." Sidney just shook his head and snuck in one more kiss. Karen let him go and watched him walk to his car. She smiled and waved before shutting the door and getting her own day started.

Chapter 139

Karen closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening her eyes and looking directly into Sidney's. He kissed her forehead and told her it would be ok. He moved from infront of her and off the platform "Dave? Didn't think anyone was still around."

"Sorry Sid, I didn't mean to intrude or pick up on anything. I forgot my notebook when I picked up my laptop. But what's going on?"

By this time, Karen had gotten off the table and stood beside it when Sidney walked over and took her hand, leading her over "Dave Molinari, this is my wife Karen. Baby, this is..."

"Yeah, I know. I read his columns religiously in the Post-Gazette. It's nice to finally get to meet you."

"Thanks for the support. So how did all this...when did this happen?"

"Look Dave, I trust that if I tell you, you have to keep it underwraps for a little longer."

"Sure Sid, you know what ever you tell me is off the record."

"Well Karen and I have been dating for more than a year and on our anniversary, I asked her to marry me in a very private ceremony. We got married during the series with Philly and only the team and most of the front office knows right now. We are going to make it official in August in Canada and if most people haven't found out, they would when the season starts next year."

"Are you from Pittsburgh Karen?"

"Wheeling originally, but I moved to Pittsburgh when I was little."

"Wait, didn't you date another player for the Pens. Who was it...yeah, Rick Tocchet."

"Yes I did, back in '92."

"I thought you kind of looked familiar."

"I think I am going to let you two talk and I'll meet you back in the lounge. It was a pleasure to meet you Dave."

"You too Karen."

Sidney watched Karen leave the room before turning back to his friend "to answer the question that you are dying to ask, yes, she is older than me. That is one of the many reasons I don't want this out yet. I don't want to put any heat on her from the fans."

"That's understandable Sid and I promise I won't say anything about this until you tell me it's ok. Maybe I can be granted the rights to the first story?"

"Locally, I don't see why not but back home may have it covered first with the wedding."

"When are you guys renewing your vows?"

"I would like it to be on my birthday, but we'll have to see what's available when I finally get home after this series."

"Can I ask how you guys met?"

"Its a long story and I would love to tell you about it, but just not tonight. We'll talk before I head home alright?"

"Sounds good Sid and good luck next game."

"Thanks." They shook hands and then parted ways. Sidney went to go find Karen to make sure she was ok. Sidney walked into the lounge and saw her sitting on the couch lost in thought. She noticed him come in and he made a head motion to get her to join him in the hallway. Karen got up and followed him out. "You ok?" Karen didn't say anything but shook her head yes. "Baby, he's not going to write up about the game and put an excerpt about what he overheard. I told him if he wanted the details for a column to run closer to next season we'd give him the truth to write about it."

"I guess it's just that someone on the media side now knows. And not only that, but a prominent sportswriter for the city."

"I know baby and you're scared but when people start to find out, I will not let anything happen. I've said it before, if the fans turn on you because we're married I don't want them as fans. Why do you think I've been so cautious to date anyone seriously? I didn't want all the fake girls pretending to be with me because of who I am and they can get as jealous as they want to. I'm not going to toss you aside and go for them because they hate you for being where you are...with me."

"I knew this day would come and I thought I was prepared for it, but the reality didn't hit me until now."

Sidney saw something in her eyes but didn't press it "why don't I go get my shower and then we can head home. I hope what just happened didn't put a damper on any celebration plans?"

"It didn't stud" she said smiling at him "go get cleaned up so we can head home." Sidney snuck in a kiss then led her back to the lounge, leaving her to go get a shower.

"You ok Karen?" Max asked sitting beside her.

"Yeah, what are you still doing here? I thought you and Natalie left awhile ago."

"Nah, we stuck around to celebrate a little. We're heading out when she gets back from the bathroom. So, what's wrong?"

"Someone from the media overheard Sid call me his wife."

"That's not good but you had to expect it would get out sometime?"

"I know but I just wanted it to happen after the actual wedding is all."

"It's going to be ok."

"I don't know how Nat puts up with all your sensibility. It must get so annoying at times."

"It's simple, she loves me enough to put up with it" he said kissing her cheek then heading out. Karen sat there for a few more minutes until Sidney came out and they headed home. She tried not to be quiet and not talk on the way home, but her mind wouldn't quit thinking of every possible scenerio of what happened. They got home and after Karen walked in, Sidney grabbed her, kissing her.

"I need to get something ready, so I am going to ban you upstairs" he said.

"If you're banning me upstairs, I'm afraid to wonder where you have this surprised planned. Besides, I was suppose to give you the celebration."

"You will baby, believe me you will. I just feel like setting the mood."

"I can deal with that. I am giving you however long it takes me to get a quick shower and change."

"Oo, I love challenges."

"Me too" she said raising her eyebrows at him. They shared another kiss and Karen went upstairs to change.

Twenty minutes later, Karen had walked down the steps and saw the living room set up. Sidney had lit only a couple candles on the mantle and put pillows on the floor with a blanket in front of them, but she didn't see Sidney in the room. "like your surprise baby?" Sidney said standing behind her.

"I like everything you do for me" she said turning around to face him.

Sidney took her hand in his and led her to the couch "I know the floor is set up, but we have no need to rush anything tonight" he said putting a strand of her hair behind her ear. He sat down and pulled her beside him. Karen put her legs over his lap as Sidney wrapped his arms around her, turning to her "sorry about tonight."

"There's nothing to apologize for Sid. It was bound to happen."

"What's got you so scared about people finding out baby?"

"I'm scared that things are going to change between us."

"What's going to change?"

Karen let out a small laugh "I haven't figured that out that."

"Then how do you know things will change between us? We've been together for a little over a year, we've got our lives down. If anything changes, it'll be for better not worse."

"Hmm, sounds like a wedding vow. Look, I know I compare us to my last relationship in certain areas, but I've seen the worst happen and I don't want that to happen to us when everyone finally knows your married."

"Everyone in every realtionship is different. We're different and we've been differnt since we got together. If we feel things beginning to change and not for the better, I will do everything in my power to make sure we live happily ever after."

"Apparently we're getting married in a fairy tale."

"I've always thought of you as a princess."

"That must make you my prince charming."

"Forever and always baby" he said before capturing her lips. The kiss began to heat up as they stayed locked together, enjoying the foreplay to their passion. Karen realized Sidney was still dressed and started to unbutton his shirt, leaving it open enough to sneak her hand inside and run it over his chest. "Maybe I should get a little more comfortable?"

"I know I would enjoy seeing it."

"I don't think I am all that to look at without clothes on" he said standing up and taking off his shirt and pants, leaving his boxers on.

"And why's that?"

Sidney sat back down "please, look at this body and tell me I'm perfectly proportioned to be seen naked."

"You're forgetting my dear stud that I am attracted to hockey players...which makes your body perfect for me to look at, especially naked. Now my body on the other hand..."

"Don't go there baby. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your body."

"You're just being nice."

Sidney ran his hand up her leg and moved the tank top off her stomach, exposing the skin "I'm serious, for being 37, you are in perfect shape and beautiful."

"Thank you but I could tone up a few places."

"Maybe we could do a little work out program of our own" he said kissing her. Sidney got up and brought Karen with him. He led her to the balnket and left her there for a minute so he could put on some music. When he came back over to her, Sidney grabbed the hem of her tank top and pulled it over her head throwing it aside. He proceeded to take off the boyshorts and added it with the top. Karen, in turn, took off his boxers and put it with her clothes. Sidney ran his hands over her body "I don't see where you need to tone anywhere baby."

"Then does that mean we don't get to work out together?"

"Oh we will definitely work out baby." Sidney leaned down and met her lips again. Their hands continued to roam over each other's skin, touching all the right spots. Karen broke the kiss and just smiled at Sidney. He knew exactly what that smile meant as he turned Karen around and they knelt down to the floor. Karen grabbed for the couch cushions as Sidney grabbed a hold of her hips. Karen leaned down on the couch until she felt Sidney had entered her. She sat back up a little as Sidney began to slowly move inside her. No matter how many ways they had sex, Karen loved when he took her from behind. It was so overpowering to her and it showed a side no one would think that he had. Sidney's movements got a little bigger and began to pound into her hard. Karen couldn't stop the screaming moans that accompanied the feelings he brought out in her. The louder her screams got, the harder and faster he went. Karen felt her body start to shake and knew she was ready to explode. Sidney sat her up against his chest and moved a hand around to her mound. He clenched on tightly and rubbed her clit to help bring her over the edge. Karen let out a final moan when her orgasm took over her entire body. Sidney kept pounding a few more hard thrusts until he couldn't hold on any longer, unleashing everything he had inside of her.

"Wow, this position never gets old" she said breathless.

"I don't think any of them get old with us baby. I guess this is a favorite of yours."

"What can I say, I love the power it brings from you to me."

"Why don't we try my favorite one now." Karen turned her head and kissed him. Sidney pulled out of her and they moved to the blanket. Sidney laid down and Karen straddled over him. She leaned down to kiss him while her hand snuck inbetween them and she was massaging his cock back to it's hardness. Karen left his lips and sat back up, sliding down on him.

"Was this what you had in mind?" Karen said as she began to move her hips.

Sidney closed his eyes and let out a huge breath "definitely baby, just don't stop." Karen smiled and continued her movements. Her hands started out on his chest, squeezing her fingers into his pecs as her hips slightly lifted off him. Sidney put his hands on her hips and helped her move up and down over him. She got faster then slowed down wanting Sidney to feel what torture he does to her. Karen sat up and grabbed Sidney's hands, moving them to her breasts. He squeezed them as Karen moved her hips in an upward circular motion. She felt her orgasm begin to rise again and didn't want to prolong her release any more then she had to. She leaned back placing her hands on Sidney's thighs hitting her g-spot every time. Karen got faster when she neared her peak and loudly expressed it by digging her nails into his thighs and moaned out for him. She kept riding him through her tyrant until she felt Sidney's body shook under her. Karen slowed down then stopped, collapsing onto his chest. She managed enough strength to move off his body and lay down beside him, feeling Sidney spoon up behind her kissing her neck "I don't think there is any other type of celebration I want from now on baby." Karen just smiled and pulled his hand around her to hold on as they rested for a little bit.

Chapter 138

On Thursday, Karen went to work and Sidney had practice before tonight's game. While Karen was at work she read a flyer throughout the break room and employee entrance that made her do some thinking before she left for the day. When she got done with work, she headed home with a couple of tag-a-longs.

Sidney heard her car pull up and walked to the porch to greet Karen "was I suppose to bring someone home too?"

"You could have" she said kissing him "it would keep them from throwing themselves at you all the time."

"Well then you should have picked someone ugly to date girl" Diane said.

"That and one that was older. You should have known better by picking a young hot hockey player with a sweet ass" Sheril added making Karen turn her head to stifle her laugh.

"It's always a pleasure to have you around Sheril and I must say, you don't come around often enough" Sidney said holding Karen by her waist.

"Give me a chance sexy Sid and I'll...."

"You are not going to finish that sentence or I will revoke all ticket privileges for the rest of this season and next" Karen told her sternly.

"Alright woman. Geesh, just trying to add to the conversation" Sheril said walking inside with Diane laughing behind her.

"So what was she going to say?" Sidney asked curiously.

"My guess...give me the chance and I'll come each and everytime."

"You know me to well Kiki" Sheril yelled from the living room.

"I really need to get some new friends" she said before leaning up to kiss Sidney.

"WE HEARD THAT" both Sheril and Diane yelled that got them laughing.

"Be nice baby. Good friends are hard to come by."

"True and it is exhausting breaking new ones in."

"So I guess with them here, you aren't riding in with me."

"Sorry stud."

"That's ok. I may just summon you down to see me before warm ups again."

"Well it worked out on Tuesday, maybe it could be a new routine to make sure you keep winning." Karen kissed him again then walked inside with Sidney behind her. They all sat around and talked for a while until Sidney left them to take his pre-game nap. An hour and a half later, Karen had gotten dinner made as Sidney got his shower. He came down to eat then finished getting ready. He kissed Karen before he left the house for the arena.

"I hope next year is as fun as this year has been before games" Diane said.

"It will be, just in a different house" Karen said looking around realizing she need to start packing at some point.

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you guys but Sid and I are moving into a bigger house. He bought us a house a few months back."

"Oh that's right" Diane said remembering back to the trip to Texas "you guys had a fight about it."

"Ok, one of ya'll need to fill me in" Sheril asked confused.

"Sidney talked about us getting a house together. I told him I could just add his name to the deed for this one. He said he wanted a house for us, one that didn't previously belong to either of us. I got upset because he was asking me to get rid of mom and dad's house and all my memories here."

"Yeah but you can make new memories too. Isn't that what all this is about with him, to start a new life with Sidney."

"Of course it is" Karen said smiling "but I don't want to give up mom and dad either. Their presence around me is so strong here."

"Their presence will follow you everywhere and you know they just want you to be happy."

"I know."

"At least we'll need to have one last blow out here before you move."

"I'm sure we will. If not, we'll have one at the new house to signify both places."

"Well you can count on us and Natalie too if you need some help packing" Sheril said as Diane nodded in agreement.

"Thanks you guys. I am going to need the help when Sid heads home in a couple weeks."

"I bet you're not looking forward to that."

"No, I'm not but right now all I am thinking about is a hockey game we need to get to so we can watch our boys win tonight."

"Hell yeah, I'm for that" Sheril said standing up.

"Me too" Diane chimed in. Karen got the dishes put in the dishwasher as her friends got ready, then headed to get ready herself. They left the house a few minutes later and was there in plenty of time before the doors opened. They sat on the wall and saw Natalie arrive with Max. When she looked up, she told Max she was going to go in with them and went up to meet them. They went in when the doors opened at 6p and got to there seats. Karen was sitting there and decided to head down to the locker room. She excused herself and left, getting down there with no problems. Karen saw Dana about to go in and he saw her, smiling to let her know he would get Sidney for her.

A few minutes later, Karen was looking down the hall when she felt arms wrap around her "this better be my husband."

"What if it's not?"

"Then I may need to find out the difference and see if I need to trade up."

Sidney turned her around in his arms "you may need to rethink that baby. I don't think you will ever want to trade me in."

"I don't know, Jordan does get very persuasive at times."

"Trust me, I am so much better" he whispered.

"You might just have to prove that to me later."

"I'm counting down the minutes."

"I do have a little surprise for you though."

"Well tell me what it is. I need some extra incentive for tonight."

Karen leaned up to his ear and whispered "I don't have to work tomorrow."

Sidney looked at her with a surprised look "how did that happen? Did you take a vacation day?"

"Nope. They had a flyer up for volunteers to cut their hours and I had enough time to where I would only forfeit like 4 or 5 hours tomorrow anyway. So I talked to my manager and since I had all my work done for the week, she said I could take tomorrow off."

"So does that mean...." Sidney started to say with a smile.

"That when you win tonight, I am all yours for however long you want me."

"Damn baby, how am I suppose to keep my head in the game now?"

"It's simple stud, go out there and think about nothing but winning" she said kissing him "because you know what prize is waiting for you."

"Then let's get this game going" he said to make her smile.

"Alright then, I'm going to let you go and just know that I love you."

"I love you too baby. See you afterwards."

"Ok. Go kick some ass stud." Karen kissed him again and then they parted ways. She got up to her seats and the guys soon came out for warm ups. Both Sidney and Max had looked up at Karen and Natalie when they took a break shooting the puck. Sheril would chime in and yell down to them getting a laugh out of them and a few other guys in ear shot. They stopped and let them finish practicing for the last few minutes to get their concentration going. Sidney gave Karen a smile and nod before he headed off the ice.

"Wow, Sid looks great out there. He seems ready for the game huh?" Natalie said.

"He's got his mind focused to win tonight."

"How did he do that?" Diane asked.

"I told him that since I took tomorrow off, if he wins he can do whatever he wants to me after the game."

"Well if that doesn't give a man incentive, I don't know what will."

"I'm actually surprise you didn't give him anything before the game" Sheril said smirking at her friend.

"I would have but I was being a good hostess to my friends."

"Hell, when I want it I don't care who's at my house. I will leave everyone and take my man upstairs, get what I want and then come back" Sheril said matter of factly.

"Yes we know and appreciate it oh so much."

"I ain't getting any younger and I will get it when I want. If I had that man out there, I wouldn't let him leave the bedroom except for practice and games."

"I'm so glad I'm not like you" Karen smiled at Sheril.

"Whatever woman, if you could you would do exactly just that." Sheril looked at her friend and saw the smile on her face "see, I knew it. When you can except that I know all, the world would be so much better for all of us."

"Did she sneak any alcohol when I went to get ready?" Karen whispered to Diane who just shook her head no. Sheril just glared at her until they both started laughing "sorry girl, but you ain't never going to rule the world...not in my lifetime at least."

They made the announcement to stand for the National Anthem as everyone in the arena stood "I'll just out live you and you'll look up and see what you're missing" she whispered.

Karen had to wait for the National Anthem was over before she could respond "what do you mean look up and see what I'm missing?"

"Please, like you ain't going to hell with all your sins."

"Oh my God, I can't believe you said that" Karen said shocked.

"Well..." Natalie started "technically she's right. You couldn't even wait for that one to turn 21 before you pounced on him."

"And that makes me going to hell how?"

"What do you two do on any given night?" Sheril said and watched Karen's facial expression change "see, you sinner."

Karen just hung her head and began to laugh as the horn sounded to start the game "thank god, something to distract our talking."

"Don't worry, we'll pick it back up at intermission."

"I'll need more beer before then" Karen said to herself then concentrated on the game. As the game got underway, the Pens scored first and delighted the crowd until Detroit scored very late in the first but the start of the second set a quiet and nervous tone throughout the arena when the Wings scored early. The girls looked at each other and prayed that they didn't go down any further heading back to Detroit for game 5. When the clocked ticked down to show half the period almost gone, Jordan scored and tied the game as life crept back into the Igloo. Six minutes had ticked down and Karen saw Sidney go on the ice for his shift. There was a stop in play and Karen watched him look at the remaining time. Sidney looked into the crowd and directly at Karen who just smiled back at him. He gave her a nod and got ready for the faceoff. Karen intently watched the play and never took her eyes off of Sidney, especially when he scored. She couldn't contain her excitment at all and the girls had an easing feeling come over them. With a little more then five minutes left, Tyler Kennedy took a pass from Sidney and wristed it past Osgood to give the Pens a two goal lead going into the third.

As the third period started and ended, the Pens had shut down the tired Wings and won game 4. They tied the series with the 4-2 win and made the remaining series a best of three. There would be one last game at the Igloo and Karen knew the Cup would be won or lost in Detroit. She thought it would be sweet revenge to win it on their ice since that's what happened last year. Karen knew it killed Sidney that they won the Cup in his house and wanted nothing more to make them see how it feels. Karen and her friends waited until most of the crowd left and then they went down to the locker room. They stayed around the lounge area and waited for the guys to finish up with some interviews before they came in to talk to their friends and family members. Karen saw them lead Sidney and Jordan out and knew where they were going. Sid had been the last one for the post game press conference all series and when he had been gone for a little bit, Karen excused herself to head there. She heard the last three questions and the way Sidney stayed optimestic with his answer. She knew he didn't want to give it away that he knew his dream was becoming a reality. They thanked them and Karen stood back as him and Jordan came back behind the curtain. Sidney's face lit up when he saw her standing there waiting for him.

"A goal and an assist, I'm impressed stud."

"Thanks but you know I was due to unleash this manly power on those Wings" Jordan said flexing his muscles making Sidney and Karen just look at him. "Well I was impressed with myself" he said then sulked away.

"Let me try this again" Karen began to say only to be interrupted by a soft kiss to her lips.

"That goal was for you."

"That's why I was impressed." Sidney looked back into the makeshift Media room and saw it was empty, taking Karen back into the room. He sat down in the chair by the table as Karen walked around to the front of the table. "So Captain Crosby, got time for a few more questions?"

"I will always take questions from a beautiful woman."

"So how does it REALLY feel to even the series and make it a best of three?"

"Like my dream is finally within my grasp."

Karen moved to the table and sat on it directly infront of Sidney "When you guys do win the Cup in Detroit, what are your plans with it?"

Sidney stood up and inbetween her legs "baby...could we try and be a little more hypothetical here? I love your new found bold predictions, but come on."

"Ok. Mr. Crosby" she said getting all serious "if the Pens were to win the Cup in Detroit next Friday night, what have you always wanted to do with it?"

"Well, I would take it back to Cole Harbour and celebrate with everyone back home. Of course, I have to have my vibrant wife with me for all activities and maybe get her to pose for a couple pictures with it." Sidney went to move his hand from her waist to her cheek and was about to kiss her when they were both surprised by an unexpected visitor.

"Your wife? Sidney, did you get married?" a shocked voice said.

Chapter 137

Karen was at work the next morning and she ran into Diane during break "hey girl, didn't know you were working today?"

"Yeah I switched shifts to have Saturday and Sunday off."

"You haven't had one of those in awhile."

"Tell me about it" she said seeing Karen yawn "you ok? You seem really tired, didn't you go to bed early last night?"

"Oh I was in bed after the game, I just didn't fall alseep until late" she said smirking and wiggling her eyebrows.

"Apparently you and Sid had fun celebrating the win last night."

"There are no words to how incredible it was."

"I'm sure you would be able to think of a few once you wake up a little more."

"I haven't stopped thinking about last night all morning. Just when I think I can change things up, he has to one up me."

"I'm sure he upped you real good" Diane said laughing.

"Di? I can't believe you said that" Karen said shocked.

"Please, I'm surprise a video hasn't made it up on You Tube yet."

"Why in all that is good on this Earth would I want to share THAT with the public? Let all those teeny boppers keep guessing what it would be like with him...I'm keeping the real thing all to myself."

"So no details to the horny housewife?"

"You are beyond a horny housewife from what I've heard."

"I told Maggie that in confidence."

"And she told me in confidence, no biggie. As long as you're happy, it's good to brag to your friends."

"Remember that next time we get together and we all bombard you with details about Sid."

"We'll see" she said as they both laughed and headed back to work.

A little after 1p and Karen was leaving for the day. She couldn't wait to see Sidney and just be with him for a night without any hectics thrown in. She loved to watch him play, but loved the off nights better. She replayed the night before in her head and had to physically tell herself to stop or she would pounce on him as soon as she saw him. Karen pulled up to the house a half hour later and noticed Sidney was home for once.

Karen walked in to the living room and saw not only Sidney but his parents as well.

"Hey baby" Sidney said getting up to hug her.

"Hey you" she whispered sweetly into his ear before breaking out of his grasp "mom, dad."

"Hi dear" Trina spoke up "how was work?"

"It was fine, never a dull moment" she said sitting down on the couch with Sidney.

"Mom and dad came by to take us out to dinner tonight. I thought we could head back down to Wheeling and take them to the Chinese restaurant you love so much."

"Sounds great to me, of course any night I don't have to cook is a great night."

"I've never been down to Wheeling and Sidney can't stop talking about how quaint it is" Troy said.

"Yeah, it's got the feel of a small town, but it does have some flair like here."

"Do you miss living down there?" Trina asked.

"I do because of my friends, but it's only a half hour away so it's not much to head back down sometimes."

"I bet it will be nice to just get away and come up home for a couple weeks."

"I am counting down the days until August 1st."

"We may need to get you up there before that if I have anything to say about it" Sidney chimed in with a smile.

"Your son really wants me to lose my job" Karen said kissing his cheek.

"Sidney Patrick, be patient and wait for her to come on her own" Trina told her son with a motherly tone.

Sidney looked at Karen "you just got me in trouble my darling wife."

"Sorry my overzealous husband, but I'm lucky to get the two weeks in August."

"Why's that?" Troy asked.

"Two other coworkers in my department are gone for either that week or part of that week and since there are only seven of us in the whole department, they try to limit to how many can be gone at the same time. I really had to beg and plead to get that time off."

"Then we can maybe plan for a wedding, say Friday night August 7th?"

"Why would you pick that day?" Karen asked.

"You can't be serious baby."

"Sorry, that day isn't ringing any bells. Trina, Troy? Any reason to plan anything on that day?"

"I can't think of any" Trina said.

"Me either" Troy said shrugging his shoulders.

"Ya'll are cold" Sidney said getting up and walking to the kitchen as the three of them sat there laughing.

"So where's Taylor at?"

"Up visiting with Stephanie. She asked to stay at the house with them this trip."

"Why didn't you guys stay with Mario and Nathalie? Or better yet, stay here with us?"

"It was just easier to stay at the hotel across from the arena."

"Well you both are welcomed here anytime."

"Thank you Karen, that means a lot" Troy added.

"No problem. I think I am going to go get the sulker so we can head out to eat." Karen walked into the kitchen and didn't see Sidney. She saw the backdoor open and went out to see him. "Hey stud" she said wrapping her arms around him "are you mad?"

"No, I'm not baby. I knew you guys were playing around" he said dropping a kiss to her head.

"Then what's going on?"

Sidney put Karen infront of him "I just thought it would be nice to get married on my birthday, have another reason to celebrate on that day."

"I wouldn't mind it but our wedding date would always be April 18th."

"I know. It would just be more special to renew our vows on the 7th."

"Well I don't think it would be totally up to either one of us. You need to make sure the church is available first."

"After the finals are done and when mom heads back up, she can see if it is."

"Ok, but you know I don't care what day we have the wedding."

"Me either, I just want to finally get the chance to announce it to the world."

"And I'm sure the world will know once everyone in your hometown hears that you're getting married when you go home this summer."

"It'll be ok Karen. I won't let anything bad happen to you once it gets out."

"My knight in Reebok hockey gear" she said putting her hand over her heart "what ever would I do without you."

"You would be really lonely at night baby."

"That is probably true stud" she said leaning up to kiss him.

"Ok, were ready to go" Trina yelled from inside the house.

"I think this is one time I'm glad they are staying at the hotel."

"Why's that?" Karen asked smiling.

"Because I don't think I can contain myself with you anymore."

"But I'm sure your mom would love to know how you can rattle a headboard like a sailor on leave."

"I think we need to keep that to ourselves baby."

"Whatever you say stud" she kissed him again "now let's go eat, I am starving."

"Yeah because you will definitely need food to keep your strength up tonight" he said smacking her on the ass as they went inside. Karen just laughed and headed to the bathroom real quick before they left for dinner.

After dinner, Sidney drove around the city of Wheeling for Karen to show his parents some of the sights. They stopped off at the Waterfront and walked a little through downtown before it got to late to head back. Sidney dropped off his parents at the hotel and just smiled at Karen. He drove around until he found a secluded, dark spot. He got out and went around to open the door to let Karen out. He went back around to the driver's side, opened all the windows, turned on the headlights and put the radio on loud enough so they could hear it.

"Dance with me?" Sidney asked with his hand out for her to take it.

"I'd love too" she said taking his hand and pressing her body into his. They danced around for a few mintues, holding on to each other. Even when a fast-paced song came on, they still slowly swayed to the music.

"Do you realize all I need right now is to win the Stanley Cup to top off this year? Having you in my life, marrying you to keep you in my life and winning what I've dreamed about forever would really make this a banner year."

"So does that mean you'll be disappointed with only having me in your life if you don't win the Cup this year?"

"Not at all baby. I didn't think anything could top marrying the love of my life, it'll just make it sweeter to add the Cup to it."

"I know it would. I've said it before, this isn't last year and the rest of this series hasn't been written yet for you guys."

"Do you believe we can win it this year? That I can win it this year?"

Karen lifted her hand to caress his cheek "yes I do Sid." Sidney inched their faces closer together until their lips met. The kiss was slow and sweet until the passion in their bodies came out in the kiss. "Maybe we should head home."

Sidney looked around the area "in a little bit" he said with a husky voice that sent shivers down Karen's spine. He took her hand and opened the door to the backseat. He helped Karen get in as Sidney walked around to the driver's door, turning the car completely off after closing the windows. He got in the backseat with Karen and turned to kiss her. They sat and made out like a couple of teenagers on their first date for a few minutes until the adults in them came out. "Have I told you I love it when you wear dresses?" he said sliding his hand up and pulling down her panties.

"Not lately stud" she said lifting her hips so he could get them completely off. When he had them off, Sidney threw them into the back and recaptured her lips. "What if someone comes by?" she asked breathless from the kiss.

"Then I guess we have some explaining to do." Sidney pulled her sundress down, revealing her bra. He pulled the material off her breast, exposing it to the night air. Karen let her head fall back when she felt Sidney's hot breath over her skin and his tongue flick her nipple. When she was able to concentrate, Karen moved her hand over Sidney's crotch and unzipped his jeans. She snuck her hand inside and caressed him until he was hard for her. Sidney brought her hand out, bringing him out with her. He made one swift move and put her on his lap with her straddling him. Sidney brought her dress up to her hips and helped himself ease into her. Karen sat still for a minute to get comfortable before she started rocking her hips. Her head was a mere inches from the ceiling of the SUV but the tight quarters made it so erotic. Sidney grabbed her ass and helped move her on him as Karen grabbed the headrests behind him.

"Mmm" was all Karen could wimper out letting the feelings intensify within her body.

"Oh baby, right there" Sidney whispered into her neck "make me explode inside you."

"Sid..." she said inching closer to her peak "I...oh god..." she said going faster and bringing herself over the edge. She stopped moving and let her muscles grasp around his cock until her body finished trembling. Karen slowly milked over his cock to bring him to his peak and she felt him shoot off inside her. Sidney let out the breath he was holding as Karen looked at him, leaning down to kiss his pouty lips. "Not to mean this the wrong way, but what has gotten into us lately?"

"I don't know. It's like this sexual energy between us has gotten a lot stronger."

"Maybe because we'll be apart soon."

"That could be it but baby, we won't be apart for long. Time will fly by, you'll see."

"As long as we can do this the first night I get in, I have a lot to look forward to."

"Why don't we head home. I think you need a good night's sleep tonight."

"With you beside me, I always get a good night's sleep." Karen kissed him again before moving off him and getting her dress situated. Sidney zipped up her dress and got himself together before they exited the backseat and got in the front. Sidney started the car and headed home to finish out the evening with his wife.

Chapter 136

The next morning, Sidney got up for an early practice and kissed a sleeping Karen before he left. He met up with the rest of the guys downstairs and heard quite a bit of ribbing going on.

"Damn man, was a film crew in there too?"

"Guys, don't blame me if all your love lives aren't as exciting as mine is" Max retorted "besides, ever hear this one?" he said pointing to Sidney walking up.

"Karen might be loud but at least we know to tone it down in public."

"Putting all the blame onto Karen, nice touch Darryl. Does she know you do that?"

"Every chance I get Staalsy" he said as they laughed and headed for the bus.

A little bit later, Karen woke up and felt the empty bed beside her knowing Sidney was at practice. She remembered back to last night and giggled wondering how everything happened. She got up and showered, waiting for her best friend to appear. After Karen got dried off and dressed, there was a knock at the door and she went to answer it seeing Natalie on the other side.

"Morning girl" she said bouncing into the room.

"Morning. Surprised you are up this early and actually have a voice to match."

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean by it? Did you not hear yourself and Max as you were in the midst of sex last night?"

"We were like how we normally are, why?"

"Well I know Sid and I got an earful, maybe even some of the other players too."

"Sorry but I can't help it. That man just brings out the best in me. Maybe you and Sid should try to not be so inhibited."

"Sidney and I have no problem expressing ourselves when we make love thank you."

"Yeah I think I heard a pathetic little squeal from you."

"I am not about to wake the whole hotel with our escapades...I save it all for when we're home."

"Whatever girl, don't be hatin just cause your jealous of my superstar." Karen sat there laughing and threw a pillow at her friend. They continued a mini pillow fight until they settled down and watched tv until the guys returned.

When the guys came back from practice, they got into their routine until it was time to head to the arena. Karen knew that after the game, the families wouldn't be waiting around for the guys as a lot of them needed to get back for work. Before the game, Karen and Natalie were down with the guys and were about to head up to the suite when Sidney pulled her aside.

"I wish you could wait around and leave with me after."

"I know you do but I have to work in the morning. It was either leave right after or I would have left earier today and missed the game."

"I'm glad you stayed for the game."

"For you too stud." Sidney leaned in and kissed her. Karen tried to find a good place to put her hands, but all his gear was making that impossible. She broke away to the pouting look on Sidney's face. "Go get your head in the game and I will see you at home."

"Ok, I love you."

"I love you too." They shared another kiss and Karen left him to grab Natalie and head upstairs.

Game 2 was the same as the first and the Pens lost by the same score of 3-1. They seemed to have outplayed the Red Wings, it just showed differently on the scoreboard. Sidney was again held without a point and Karen could see the frustration set it, even from that high up. She hoped the next two games at home were different for him. She brought out her phone and sent him a message before they all left for the airport to head home.

Sidney had gotten back from the post game press conference and reached for his phone. He saw he had a missed message and opened it. He smiled seeing it was from Karen and read the simplest message of encouragement he could get...I love you! Sidney closed his phone and went to get his shower so they could get to the airport themselves and head home.

The next two days had gone by quickly and it was Tuesday. Karen had felt anxious all day at work and hoped that tonight's game went the way the team needed it. She got home and Sidney wasn't home yet. Karen figured he stayed to work on a few things before the game. She decided to make a lasagne for dinner and got it all ready so all she had to do was put it in the oven while Sidney was napping. Karen called his mom and dad to see if they wanted to come over for dinner as well and was happy that they would.

"Hello" Sidney said answering his phone.

"Hey my sexy stud" Karen said sweetly into the phone.

"Well what do I owe to this wonderful surprise?"

"I was hoping you were still at the arena."

"I am. Thinking of a naughty adventure that you're surprising me with?"

"Down stud, maybe later. Could you go over to the hotel and get your mom and dad? I invited them over for dinner tonight."

"Well that was sweet baby. I'm leaving in a few minutes so I will go get them and we'll be home."

"Ok, love you."

"Mmm, not as much as I love you baby."

"We don't have time to debate this now so we'll just say I love you more and call it a day."

"Not fair baby, but I'll take it. See you in a little bit."

"Alright, bye."

"Bye baby." They hung up from each other and Karen cleaned up a little waiting for everyone to get there.

Twenty minutes later, Karen heard the car pull up and went outside to greet everyone. She got a hug from her in-laws and a huge kiss from Sidney. He held them back as his parents walked into the house.

"I missed you today."

"You were at practice all morning until now, how did you have time to miss me?"

"I always miss you" he said planting a kiss to her lips. It started out sweet and innocent and ended up heated and filled with passion.

"You know after the game tonight, after you guys win, I have a little celebration planned for you."

"You seem really confident about tonight's game baby."

"Let's just say, I've seen the future and the outcome is very promising stud" she gave him another kiss and left him on the porch as she walked inside.

"I hope you're right baby" he whispered to himself before going inside to join his family. They sat around and talked for a little bit and Karen noticed it was time for Sidney to get his nap in and she motioned to him. "I'm not tired baby. I may skip my nap today."

"Your going away from your routine Sid?" his dad asked confused.

"He's been doing it a lot this season."

"I've just changed up a few things dad, it's no big deal."

"Well I'm going to go put dinner in the oven then so we can eat a little earier." Karen walked out of the living room and Trina soon followed her.

"So what's going on?"

"I honestly don't know. My friend Natalie pointed out that he seems to be changing things around to include me in his routine."

"Well some of it must be working if it got him this far."

"I think it has more to do with the team and their will to win it all this year and not so much me."

"I guess we'll see then huh?" They shared a smile as they both helped get a salad ready. A half hour later, dinner was done and they all sat down to eat.

When it was time for Sidney to head to the arena, Troy went in with him and Karen brought Trina with her a little bit later. Sidney questioned it but Karen just smiled and told him that right after the game she needed to get home and prepare her surprise for him. A while later, they headed to the arena and by the time Karen got there, Sheril and Diane were there to meet her. Karen knew it would be too hectic down by the locker room and stayed up top with her friends as Trina went down to find Troy. The doors opened and when they went to their seats, Karen was summoned to the locker room by Sidney. As she walked down, she was greeted by him in the hallway.

"I can not believe you summoned me down here."

"I should tell you now that I will always get what I want."

"You're an ass."

"Yes but I am an ass that loves you."

"And what a beautiful ass it is."

"Not like you can miss it Karen....it's right there" Marc-Andre said coming up behind them getting a laugh out of her.

"Your just jealous cause you don't have an ass Flower."

"I have the perfect ass, all the girls think so" he said catching Karen looking "see even your girlfriend thinks so too."

Sidney looked at Karen "baby?"

"What? I have to give them something so they think they're special."

"Whatever."

"Oh stud, you have the best ass in the world. So much power comes from it at all the right times."

"Makes me wonder what you have planned tonight after the game."

"Win the game stud and find out. Go kick some Red Wing ass and I will be waiting at home for you." Karen kissed him and left him standing there with a smile on his face. Sidney went to finish getting ready to head to the ice for warm ups.

The game soon got underway and as Karen predicted, the Pens won 4-2. They were still down a game in the series, but knew they could come back from it. Karen saw Sidney before he skated off the ice and she just smiled at him. She walked out with her friends and told them goodnight, heading home to get her surprise ready.

Karen got home 20 minutes later and knew Sidney would be at least an hour. She managed to get everything ready and went downstairs. Her cell phone went off and it was Sidney messaging her to say he was on his way home. Karen went back upstairs to jump in the shower and get herself ready.

Sidney pulled into the driveway and went inside. He saw a note on the banister "come upstairs stud". He smiled and headed upstairs. There was a glow coming from their bedroom and when he got closer, he saw candles were all over the room.

"Baby?"

Karen came out of the bathroom with only a silky robe on and stood by the doorframe "great game stud. I knew you could pull off a win tonight."

"Well I like where my surprise is going so far" he said walking over to her.

Karen slapped his hands away "this is for you right now. We'll take care of me later." She helped get Sidney undressed and told him to lie on the bed. She kept his boxers on to remove later and to torture him a little. He was on his back and Karen climbed up on him, leaning down to kiss him. She grabbed his hand and brought it to the headboard, tying it there with a silk scarf. She got his other hand and tied it up with the other end of the scarf.

"Ok, I like what you're doing so far."

Karen reached over to the nightstand and grabbed an ice cube from the bowl. She rubbed it over his lips first then went down his chin to his neck. She kept the trail going down his chest, stopping to rub the ice over his nipples. Karen saw him try to arch his back into the sensations. It was tolerable until she blew air over them. She threw that ice back into the bowl and grabbed another one, making the trail down his stomach to the hem of his boxers. Karen put the ice cube in her mouth as she got off him to remove his boxers, then climbed back on top of his thighs. She got the ice cube out of her mouth and Sidney just looked at her.

"And where do you plan on putting that?"

"Here" as she put it on the inside of his thigh, letting the cold water run down the skin "and here" as Karen then ran the ice around his balls and slowly coming up his shaft. She was getting herself turned on watching Sidney become harder with every stroke of the ice she made on him. When that piece melted, Karen got another small piece and placed it in her mouth. After a minute, she crushed it and swallowed it, leaning down to take him into her mouth. Her cold tongue and lips made Sidney squirm underneath her, making her hands grab his hips and hold them down. Sidney loved when she could take all of him into her mouth, making a humming noise as she released him. She felt him grow thicker and knew he was ready to explode as she took him in her mouth once more and he let loose with a loud moan to follow. Karen sat up and waited for him to calm down.

"Damn baby. You said we were going to celebrate, but I didn't have any of that in mind."

"What did you have in mind?"

"Untie me and find out."

"But this was my celebration for you all night."

"Don't worry, we'll still be celebrating."

Karen leaned over him and untied his hands. She was able to get off of him before he could grab her and do what ever he wanted to. Sidney got off the bed and walked over to Karen, reaching for her robe. He undid the belt and opened the robe to expose her naked body. Sidney just smiled at her "what? I made it easy for you."

"That you did baby." Sidney pushed her up against the wall and kneeled down in front of her. He picked up her leg and put it over his shoulder, diving into her heated core. Karen tried to grab onto the wall but knew there was nothing to hold on to. She was so turned on by what she did to him that it wasn't going to take long for him to bring her over the edge. Karen's hand grabbed for his shoulder and dug her fingernails in as her orgasm crashed through her body. Sidney lapped up her juices and made his way back up her body, kissing his way to her neck.

"Ok, I wasn't expecting that" she said breathless.

"Oh don't worry, there's more so you might want to prepare yourself baby." Sidney picked up Karen and laid her down on the bed. He spread her legs open as wide as he could and positioned himself inbetween them. Sidney inserted a couple fingers to get her going again, soon pulling them out and replacing them with his still hard cock. He felt the urgency and was anything but slow and easy with her. Sidney would make hard thrusts inside of her, stopping after every one. He would pull completely out, jamming himself back in making a scream escape her lips after each thrust. Sidney picked up the pace, overpowering her and pushed her hands over her head letting her grab onto the bars of the headboard. He kept his hands over hers as his pounding continued its assault on her. Karen's screams turned into wimpers waiting for her body to let go of the pressure building inside of her. Sidney felt her muscles begin to tighten around him "let go baby, cum for me."

"OH GOD SID" she moaned out as Sidney pounded into her one last time and her orgasm finally let loose, along with his own. They laid together, breathless and sweaty letting their lips find each other.

"So if we win Thursday night, do we celebrate like this again?" Sidney asked pushing her wet hair off her face.

"Ab-so-fucking-lutely" Karen said still dazed as Sidney laughed at her. Their lips met again before Sidney pulled out of her and rolled off to her side. They cuddled up to each other and fell asleep.
