Chapter 34

Sidney and Karen returned to the villa and went to change. Karen put on her simplest bikini and Sidney grabbed his swim shorts before heading back out. As they were walking out the patio door, Sidney stopped and ran back upstairs only to come back down with the comforter from their bed.

"Really? The comforter?"

"I didn't see any other blankets and we'd have to use a lot of towels." Karen just rolled her eyes and grabbed the comforter running back upstairs with it. She came back down with another blanket. "Where did you find that?"

"On the top shelf of the closet. I think they'd rather us dirty this one instead of the few hundred dollar comforter." Sidney smiled and took the blanket from her to carry as they went towards the water.

They walked down a ways until they were in complete darkness with only a small amount of light coming through. Karen helped lay out the blanket and Sidney motioned for her to join him in the middle. She walked up to him and leaned up to meet his lips in a soft kiss.

"You know, we could swim in a little bit."

"We could but it would just increase the passion, the need, and most importantly the want if we go play in the water first" she said kissing him then walking to the water's edge only to turn around and smile before going in.

"You wanna, we'll play baby" Sidney said to himself before walking after her. He got into the water and went over to where Karen was grabbing her into his arms. They were waist deep in the water and holding on to each other.

"Sorry if I dragged the evening down. You made it special and I bummed it out."

"You didn't baby."

"You're just being nice."

"Maybe" he said smiling "but I'm not going to argue with you to really spoil the evening."

"Don't think you'd spoil it considering we both know where we'll end up anyway."

"You mean like right here" he said as he untied her top and removing the fabric from her breast, only to recover it with his hand. Karen's breath began to quicken as Sidney began to massage a little harder. "The other one needs some attention too" Sidney bent down and took the nub into his mouth, drawing a light moan from Karen's lips.

"See...this is where...the disadvantage is" she said between breaths "we can't return the favor."

"Maybe not in the same spots but you still can" Sidney said after breaking away from her and grabbed her hand, moving it where he likes her the most.

Karen began to massage Sidney's cock getting a moan from him as well "still not the same, this is more the next step."

"Keep going and I am more then ready to take that final step with you."

"Mmm, then let's head to the blanket and take that next step together."

Sidney lifted Karen up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her out of the water and up the beach to the blanket. He knelt down then laid Karen down, covering her body with his. In a matter of seconds, Sidney had discarded his swim shorts and Karen's bikini leaving them laying there naked and not one inch between them as their lips found each other. The kiss was slow and filled with passion. After a few minutes Karen couldn't wait any longer and reached in between them to manuver Sidney's cock towards her entrance to let him know she was ready.

"I love when you tell me what you want without words."

"I can still tell you but I love it even more when you show me."

"Well my beautiful wife, by all means let me show you."

Sidney pushed himself inside Karen hearing her take in a sharp breath. She moved her hands up and down his back making sure she went to his ass to help push him deeper into her. Karen moved her legs to the sides to open herself up wider for his movements. Sidney took the hint, getting up on his hands and letting his hips take over. The little light that shined their way gave them enough to look into each other's eyes as they neared their peak and went directly over it. As Sidney gave one last thrust, Karen pulled him down for a searing kiss. After a few minutes, Sidney rolled off her and sat up behind Karen, pulling the blanket over them.

"Its peaceful here."

"I know, wish we could stay here forever."

"Yeah but it won't ever get cold enough to freeze the ocean for you to play. You'll have to learn beach hockey."

"Funny baby. I could finance the building of an arena."

"And foot the electric bill to keep it cold so the ice doesn't melt."

"Hope I never lose all my endorsement deals" he said getting Karen to laugh. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing, I just figured either Pittsburgh or Halifax would get a state of the art building from the Crosby benefactor, not a tropical country."

"Still might, you never know. I don't think I ever thanked you."

"Sex is a part of marriage, you don't need to thank me."

"Not talking about that" he said tickling her sides to get her laughing "I meant, when I give money to charities or buy kids hockey equipment so they can learn to play. You don't complain about it."

"Its your money, why do I have a say?"

"When we got married it became our money."

"Well my sexy husband, you may do whatever you need to do with OUR money that makes you happy and makes me proud to be your wife" she said turning her head to capture his lips in a kiss.

"Thank you" he smiled and kissed her head "how about we head back to the villa?"

"I think we should." They got up and put their suits back on before walking back to the villa. Karen jumped in the shower with Sidney not too far behind to get the sand off them. They dried off and got ready for bed, holding on to each other for the rest of the night.

The next morning, Karen awoke to Sidney not beside her. She did however smell food and went down to see what's for breakfast. She saw Sidney standing in front of the stove with just a pair of shorts on making eggs. Karen loved how he learned to cook more and was getting very good at it.

"Morning my stud" she said startling her.

"Well I guess I can't serve breakfast in bed now" he said motioning to her. Karen walked over to be greeted by a very passionate kiss.

"I could still go back up and act surprise."

"Yeah but waking you was going to be the fun part."

"Just finish making me breakfast and you can wake me that way tomorrow" she said smacking his ass before going to open the patio doors, feeling the cool morning breeze on her skin. After standing there for a few minutes, Sidney called her over to eat. "So what are the plans for today?"

"Don't know, haven't talked to Max yet. Why?"

"I wouldn't mind whisking Nat away for some shopping for a couple hours."

"Sounds like fun. Maybe Max and I could hit the links again for a real game."

"We didn't play a real game?"

"We did baby, don't worry." Karen just smiled at him then continued eating.

A while later, they finished eating and Karen got up to do the dishes. Sidney watched her body move and the t-shirt she was wearing was moving up and down revealing her panties. To say he was getting aroused was way beyond an understatement. He got up and walked over to her, handing her a glass. After she took it, Sidney's hands went to her waist and his cock pressed into her ass.

"Do you know how turned on I am from watching you?"

"I have an idea."

"Care to make that idea a reality?"

Karen put the glass down and held onto the sink "I'm intrigued to what you have in mind" she said turning her head to capture his lips.

Sidney went under her shirt and brought down her panties in one swift move. His hand went to her mound and began to rub feverishly getting a moan from Karen. Sidney removed his shorts from his hips and was about to enter her from behind, Karen stopped him and turned around to face him. Sidney smiled before lifting one of her legs and putting it around his hip, slipping inside of her easily. He let go of her waist and gripped onto the sink, pressing himself and Karen into it with every thrust he made.

"Lift me up" Karen said breaking the silence.

Sidney reached under her other thigh and lifted her up a bit, not stopping his assault on her. He saw the table from the corner of his eye and held onto her as he moved them there.

"Mmm, now this is a familiar spot."

"Thought this was a ritual saved for the house in Canada?"

"Well that is our vacation home and we are on vacation" he said smiling. Sidney leaned in for a kiss before pulling Karen to the direct edge of the table and laying her down. He grabbed her hips and brought her into his thrusts. Karen held onto his wrists and arched her back as the sensations were overwhelming her. As she felt herself nearing her orgasm, she sat up and kissed Sidney.

"Wait, move to sit on the chair" she said breathless. Sidney wrapped his arm around her ass and sat down with her still engulfed on him. Karen took control, riding him hard to finish them off. She kept moving her hips in a tight circle to milk every last drop Sidney had to give as their lips sealed their escapade.

"You just couldn't let me be in control huh?"

"Nope" she said kissing him again "I can't let you have all the fun."

"I think we both have fun no matter who's in control."

"That we do" Karen said before leaning in for a kiss, but someone had other plans.

"Yo Siddo, you awake" Max yelled coming in through the patio doors. He looked at them locked together on the chair and smiled "not only are you awake but definitely up."

"I'd love to say its good to see you Max but I never get that feeling when you're around" Karen said thankful she still had her shirt on.

"Oh Kiki, don't be like that."

"Could you give us a minute Talbo?" Sidney asked his friend.

"Oh of course" he said sitting down looking at them, smiling.

"MAX" Karen said sternly. Max put his hands up and got up from the couch. He walked to the patio doors and left but not before her turned around and gave Sidney a wink and a thumbs up. Karen just turned around and looked at Sidney "please make new friends this year."

"Yes dear" he said smiling before kissing her. Karen looked back one more time before getting off Sidney's lap and heading upstairs to shower. Sidney pulled up his shorts and shook his head debating how to kill Max later.

An hour later, Karen and Sidney went next door to talk to their friends.

"Hey girl, what's up for today?" Natalie asked her best friend.

"Apparently Sidney" Max chimed in laughing.

"Well we are going shopping and then my husband is going golfing with yours and possibly killing him with a 9 iron."

"Do I want to know what's going on?"

"I caught them in a very compromisable position and now Karen seems to be plotting my death."

"Ok, good thing my names on a lot of things so I can live comfortably the rest of my life" Natalie said as Sidney looked at Karen.

"See, it's not just me" she said smiling and giving him a quick kiss. They all paired off and went their separate ways for the next few hours.

Chapter 33

The next morning, Karen woke up and looked at Sidney still asleep beside her. She turned her head to look out the patio doors and smiled as she realized where she was. Getting up, Karen went to the bathroom then got her bathing suit on, quietly heading downstairs. She reached into the refrigerator and got some juice out, pouring some into a glass. Walking over to the deck, she smiled as she finished her juice and went to go sit out on the lounge chair.

"You are not the one I would expect out here this early in the morning."

"Kiki, you know I can tire the love of my life out faster. It's my talent."

"Maybe you're not utilizing your wife to the best of her ability."

Max just smirked "maybe you need to give her some pointers."

"Technically she was the one that taught me everything. Ask Sidney, he'll tell you what you're missing out on."

"You know Karen, I do seem to like you more and more."

"That seems to be the popular consenus around the Pens organization."

"Don't let the other guys get to ya, they mean well. It's not every day a player's wife plays with us they way you do."

"I know what Geno, Staalsy and you have on your mind when you get explicit with me. I can play to the edge of the fire ring with the best of them. It's all talk and we all know that." Karen looked over to Max "I'm glad you did this for her. I didn't want to try and mend a twice broken heart."

"Well if I couldn't have you, I got the next best thing" he said smiling "ever since the first time I kissed her I knew she was what I needed in my life."

"I'm happy for you Maxwell."

"I'm happy for Sid too. We were all worried about him not finding a girl that would treat him like he needs to be treated. But he surprised us all and found a woman that, god help us, is exactly like him."

Karen just laughed "it is scary at times at how much we're alike. You know in the beginning I was more sketical about being with him then he was."

"How is that possible?"

"I couldn't, actually didn't want to see myself get hurt again. Besides, he's Sidney fucking Crosby. He could have left me for any girl out there."

"But he listened to his heart and chose the best thing for him. We never thought he would go find someone else."

"Geno and Staalsy are kicking themselves over that one too. Sidney finds someone else, it's open season on me from those two" she said giggling.

"I believe you would have had a couple more than you know of" Max said grinning.

"I don't think I want to know."

"Know what beautiful" Sidney asked walking up behind them.

"Who else has been pining for your wife from a far" Max said getting up "of course, it doesn't surprise me if its the whole locker room" he said leaving them alone.

"Is the whole locker room in love with me?"

"We wouldn't have a team to compete if they all were" he said sitting beside her "why didn't you wake me?"

"You looked to peaceful and I didn't have the heart to wake you."

"Could've woke me up another way."

"We're here for a week stud, don't overuse me all on the first day."

"I won't baby. Feel like maybe playing some golf with me today?"

"I can't really play."

"I'll be more than happy to teach you."

"Oh god, you plan to ravish me on the back 9 aren't you?"

"No" he said laughing "didn't think about it but now that you mentioned it."

"I'll play only if you can promise to behave yourself."

"I promise, and you'll have fun."

"Can we go after I even out my tan?"

"We can go whenever you want." Karen got up and leaned over, kissing him before moving the lounger and laying on her stomach. "Want me to put lotion on your back?"

"But of course my handsome servant" she said reaching back to untie her bikini top. Sidney smiled and started squirting lotion in his hand "don't even think about reacting to what thoughts are running around in that head of yours."

"Wasn't even gonna go there baby" Sidney said with a sly smile as he rubbed the lotion into her skin.

A couple hours later, the four friends went to the golf course. Natalie and Max tee'd off first and when they were done playing the first hole, Karen was about to put her ball on the tee until Sidney stopped her.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"Just let them get a little head start." Sidney pulled her to him and attacked her lips with a hard yet passionate kiss.

"Sidney Patrick, I swear you are insatiable." Karen got out of his grasp and laughed as she got by the ball and was preparing to take a swing.

"Here baby, let me help" he said going behind her and making sure her form was where it needed to be. Karen felt his hands go from her hips to her arms and felt his crotch press into her ass as he put his hands over hers. "All you need to do is pull your arms back and keep your head down towards the ball."

Karen of course turned her head to look at Sidney with their lips inches apart "makes we wonder why we haven't tried this before now."

Sidney kissed her before letting her go "just do what I said and you'll be fine." Karen smiled and went back to her stance. She brought her arms back and came back down hitting the ball with such force that they saw it landed on the green. "Baby, when you mentioned about playing did you say you can't or didn't like to play?"

"Why? Did I do good with that shot?"

Sidney shook his head and stepped up to the tee "can't believe I fell for that." He took his shot and his ball landed near hers.

"Does that mean I don't get any more one on one lessons?"

"We'll see" he said as they got in the golf cart to head to the green to putt. Karen just laughed and knew this was going to be a long day.

The longer they played the more of a competition it became instead of a friendly game. Every shot Karen took and landed on the green, Sidney had to make it just as great. By the 18th hole, Max and Natalie were standing off to the side waiting as for them to get done.

"Alright baby, last hole and we are tied going in."

"What are you getting at Crosby? Plan to make a bet on the last shot?"

"Maybe."

"Name the stakes."

"Nope" Sidney said shaking his head "just think about what you want IF you win and I will think of what I want WHEN I win."

Karen just laughed "alright, but when I win you better be a good sport and make it enjoyable."

They both took their shots and both landed on the green, but Karen's ball was a little closer to the hole than Sidney's.

"Five bucks says Karen botches it to let Sidney win" Max whispered to Natalie.

"You make millions and you're only betting five bucks?"

"My money does seem to all go to you anyway..." he said but couldn't finish since Natalie hit him in the stomach.

Sidney stood looking at the situation "what do you think baby?"

"You take two strokes to my one and I win?"

"We'll see about that...ladies first."

Karen lined up her shot and made it in one stroke. She leaned down and picked up her ball and stood back to give Sidney his turn. He got ready and looked at Karen before taking his shot. As the ball started rolling it looked like it was slowing down and when it reached the edge of the hole, it took a minute but then dropped in.

"Well look at how that turned out, it's a tie."

"I guess that means we both win" Sidney said with a smirk.

"Not like you didn't plan it that way studly."

Sidney walked over to her and put his arms around her "we both would have won anyways baby" he said leaning in to kiss her.

"Come on you two, let's go grab some lunch then later you grab something else Siddo."

"Such the romantic Max."

"For you, there's romance..for those two, they need to get a room, later."

Sidney let go of Karen and they walked over to their friends. They got their stuff turned in and headed to lunch.

"What would you guys think of a couples only night tonight?" Max asked the group.

"Ooo, date night..I like it" Karen said.

"You would Kiki. Not like you need a specific date to do what you would've done on the golf course."

"Hey now, that was this one" she said pointing to Sid "I'm not the only one to start things you know."

"Not my Sid..he's an angel" Max said as Sidney sat there batting his eyes.

"Really? Remind me to dig out a video tape from our honeymoon when we stopped at a little bed and breakfast in Nova Scotia."

Max just looked to Sidney who just smiled "Sidney, really..a video? Dude.." he said fist pumping him "I knew you had it in ya." Karen and Natalie just looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "Of course Karen, didn't think you were really that type of girl?"

"Well looks can be deceiving Maxwell. Just ask your wife" Karen said getting a very evil look from Natalie. "Sorry, but he started playing unfair first."

"You really don't want me to open any can of worms o' best friend of mine."

"Oh good, sharing hour has begun."

"Why do I think this isn't going to bode well Max?" Sidney asked somewhat scared.

"Give it time Darryl, I love when my woman gets fiesty."

"Your woman" Natalie said surprised.

"At least the attention is off me now" Karen told Sidney. He grabbed her hand and kissed it as they continued to listen to their friends.

An hour later, they finished lunch and went shopping around for a bit before heading back and going their separate ways.

Karen was sitting on the couch staring out at the ocean when Sidney came to sit beside her "What do you want to do for our date night?"

"You mean you have nothing planned yet?"

"Oh I have things planned, but was being a gentleman by asking you your opinion."

"And when it comes to ravishing me, I have an opinion?"

"You've always had an opinion...you just never really got to give it" he said laughing to make her laugh.

"Got it. I would like to get dressed up and go out to dinner?"

"I think I can arrange that. How about that place we saw down the beach? We could walk down and then back afterwards?"

"I would love that."

"Ok, well I'm going to run down and make a reservation for us." Sidney got up and kissed Karen before heading out. She smiled wondering what else he could have planned but shook her head before lying down and letting the beach air lull her to sleep.

Sidney went to the restaurant and made their reservations. He was heading back when he took a detour to the main hotel and walked in.

"Mr. Crosby, everything alright?" the hotel clerk asked.

"Yes, everything has been wonderful. I thought when we checked in I remeber seeing a women's clothing shop."

"Oh yes, right this way" the clerk said then escorted him "Sandy here will be able to help you with anything you need."

As Sidney thanked the clerk, a middle aged woman came over "hi there, I'm Sandy. How can I help you today?"

"My wife and I are going out to dinner tonight and she did bring a dress with her, I was wondering if you had something she might like."

"I think it's more for what you would like to see her in sweetie" she said seeing Sidney smile "I know that look, newlyweds?"

"No, we've been married for awhile but I do love to see her in beautiful dresses."

"Well tell me about her dear."

"She's about 5'5", brown hair, brown eyes and sporting a very nice tan that I would love to see her show off."

"I think I have a few ideas, let me go get a couple styles and show them to you." Sidney stood around and looked at all the dresses in the shop. He could see Karen in all of them and she would even make the ugly ones look beautiful. "Ok honey, let's get your opinion on these" Sandy said bringing out a rack with 8 different styles on it. Sidney looked at each dress and pictured Karen in each one. When he came to the last one, he smiled and pulled it off the rack.

"I like this one and I know my wife will love it."

Sandy smiled "I think she'd love it too. Let's get it wrapped up for you." She took the dress from Sidney and rang it up. After he paid, she put the dress in a garment bag and handed it to him. "If she has any problems or if it doesn't fit, I'm here until 9p and we can fix it before you guys go to dinner."

"Thank you Sandy, you've been a great help."

"You're welcome sweetie and hope you and your wife have a fantastic evening tonight. Enjoy the rest of your stay here." Sidney told her goodbye and left.

When he got back, Karen was still asleep on the couch and he was able to sneak in and head upstairs with the dress. He came back down and decided to join Karen on the couch. She had moved and was now on her back giving Sidney the perfect place to lay. He quietly and slowly laid down on top of her and moved her hair off her neck, putting his mouth there instead.

"I knew you couldn't wait until tonight stud" Karen said with a smile.

Sidney lifted his head to see her staring at him "oh I can wait until tonight, but I never said tonight was the only time anything was going to happen."

"Well why don't you control yourself Crosby and make tonight unforgettable."

"I already planned it that way baby" he said as his lips found hers in a slow yet passionate kiss. They stayed locked together for what seemed like forever when Karen left his lips and pushed him off to go get ready for their date.

After an hour of fighting Sidney off her in the shower and as she was getting her make up on, Karen went to the closet to get the dress she brought in case they went out for a nice dinner.

"Baby wait" Sidney said stopping her from bringing out her dress.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, I just bought you a dress to wear tonight."

"When did you buy me a dress?"

"This afternoon. After going to the restaurant I made a stop at the hotel's clothing shop and found a new dress for you."

Karen just stood there and smiled at him "you just couldn't resist could you?"

"Nope" he said getting the garment bag. Sidney laid the bag on the bed and kissed her cheek "open it after I leave" he told her before kissing her temple and walking out of the bedroom.

"You always have to keep amazing me" she told herself as she bend down to unzip the bag. Her eyes widen when she saw the dress and how beautiful the coral color would be against her golden tan skin. She picked it up and put it against her, looking at herself in the mirror. "You did good Crosby" Karen smiled at herself before putting the dress on the bed and began to get ready.

Twenty minutes later, Karen had walked downstairs and into the living room. She cleared her throat to get Sidney's attention, who stood looking at her.

"Wow, baby you look amazing."

"And all thanks to you of course."

"Do you like it?"

"I love it."

"If you don't like the style or color the shop is open until 9 so you can go change it."

Karen walked over to Sidney wrapping her arms around his waist "I love everything about it. So stop and take me to dinner."

"As you wish my beautiful wife" he said before kissing her. They headed out and walked down to the restaurant for their romantic dinner date.

They got to the restaurant and was seated on the patio in the corner. Karen smiled when Sidney sat with his back to everyone else. He said it was so he could concentrate only on her but she knew it was so no one would recognize him. Soon the waiter came over and Sidney had ordered for the both of them.

"Wow, look at you being all gentlemanly."

"Baby, I keep telling you that isn't a word."

"Sorry stud but that's what you're being."

"Well, I feel the need to make you less independent at some things."

"More like you felt the need to be a 1950s husband" she said smiling. The waiter came over and poured their wine and left the bottle for them.

Sidney picked up his glass as Karen did the same "to my beautiful wife, who finally got her honeymoon. I don't think I could love anything as much as you right now."

"Only until you start training for next season."

"Ok yes, hockey is my passion and obsession but you my dear have been my passion and obsession too." Karen sat there and smiled before taking a drink "and what about me?

"You my hockey stud have been my play toy until my real husband comes home."

"Ah, and where is the 'real' husband?"

"Russia...did I forget to mention Geno and I met a long time ago and secretly got married?"

"Yeah you kind of left that part out. Now I understand his obsession with you" he said as Karen just smiled at him.

"Now that you bring it up, Max said more of the guys then just our little circle, have taken a liking. What is going on in that locker room before games and practices?"

"Maybe its because I constantly talk about you. Maybe they see the selflessness I see. You're genuine in everything you say or do." Karen just listened to what he said "I think a lot of the guys either wish they had that or could find it."

"But for the ones that have been married for years should already have that. I can understand Jordan, Kris, Geno and guys with girlfriends to compare my values to theirs and see what they're missing."

"Why does it bother you?"

"Its not bothering me, I'm just curious as to why I have a whole hockey team that likes to flirt with me and don't see them do it to anyone else's girlfriend or wife."

"How about this...when training camp starts, we'll invite everyone over for dinner and you can ask them one on one why they like you so much."

"Maybe I just need to ask a few" Karen smiled.

"Well if they say its because I pulled rank and made a threat don't believe it" Sidney said smiling back at her. Their food came and they ate with more conversation.

After dinner, Sidney took Karen to the beach to walk that way back to their villa.

Karen stopped and turned towards the water as Sidney stepped behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist "I can't beileve I'm here" she said in a whisper but loud enough for Sidney to hear.

"What, you haven't taken vacations to places like this before?"

Karen closed her eyes and took a deep breath "I've been to places like this before, I meant with you."

"What do you mean?" he asked turning her around to face him.

"I'm not, not happy with you so don't get that idea" she said as Sidney nodded "I love you more than anything but how can I not keep thinking that this is all a dream. I mean, you're you. A famous hockey player that every kid in the US and Canada wants to be like, not to mention every woman with a lively labio that's yearning for you and you chose me to be with. Every day I wake up beside you and pinch myself to believe you are with me." Sidney looked down to the sand until Karen brought her hand up to caress his cheek "I don't see myself with anyone else or even without you. My life is with you, I just can't believe it sometimes."

"What's weird...I can't believe I'm with you. You've lived your life and here comes this kid that new nothing of life other than hockey and you've turned him into someone that is mature beyond his years."

"I think you were like that before me. If you didn't want to live up to the hype of a famous athlete and have girls upon girls every night, that made you smart and mature before you met me. Look at how you are with your money? Or your work ethic? Sid, I don't know anyone your age, famous or not, to be able to manage all you do."

"I had help with that."

I know your parents and agent but you still could've said 'fuck it, I'll do what I want' and spent whatever."

"And I love that you don't want any of it" he said pulling her closer to him.

"Oh I want it all. I'm just waiting for you to cheat so I can get it outright."

"See, I knew there was a reason to draw up a pre-nup" he said as Karen's face fell. "I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean..."

"Its ok. We never really talked about it but I figured your dad and agent would've been hell bent on you having one."

"They did and there was one drawn up."

"Really?"

"I read over it and didn't agree to anything in there." Sidney let go of her and walked a bit away to the water "I couldn't see only giving you a certain amout it this didn't work out or you had to give up my last name if we did divorce." He turned around and saw her looking at him "I never would have asked you to sign it."

Karen walked over to him "I would have signed it. Not because they wanted me to, but to show you that I didn't care about your money and only wanted to be with you."

"Thanks baby."

"But I would have fought the keeping your last name."

"Oh yeah."

"Please, with the last name of Crosby and living in Pittsburgh...I would have milked it until the day I died. Not to mention if I ever went to Canada."

"You'd seriously do that?" he asked with a smile.

"Maybe. Feel like testing the waters in that department?"

"No but wouldn't mind testing that water out there. How about we had back and change for a late night swim?"

"I would love a late night swim with you" she said before he leaned down to give her a kiss. When they broke apart, they headed back to finish out their date.

Chapter 32

Two weeks later and the four of them were at the airport heading on vacation. They got the earliest flight out so they could have as much time as they could in the Virgin Islands. Sidney and Max kept where they were going until they checked in for their flight and the girls were excited that's where they were heading. A couple hours later, the plane landed and the four of them got off and claimed their bags. Max had it arranged for a limo to pick them up and take them to the hotel.

The hotel was beautiful and when they went to check in, they were surprised to find out where they were staying. The hotel had six private villas on the beach and was more than generous upgrading them. They got everything situated and was escorted to the villas by the hotel manager. He showed them one, explaining the features.

"You have your own kitchen and if you walk out here to the patio, each villa has their own private hot tub. Now this villa and the one next door, share the beach within the fence and the gate will lead you to the ocean."

"This is amazing, we have our own private beach area."

"But what if the two people staying at the two villas connected weren't here together?"

"Then the staff would put up a makeshift fence to separate the two for privacy. I'm assuming since the four of you are friends, you wouldn't be needing it" he said.

Karen just looked at Natalie who shook her head "we won't be, but thanks for letting us know."

"If before your stay is over and you would like the privacy, just give me a call and we can have it up for you in a matter of an hour."

"Thanks but we'll be fine" Max said.

"Alright. If there is anything you need, just ring the front desk and we will be more then accommodating" the hotel manager said before leaving.

"Why don't we let them get comfortable Sid and head next door?" Karen said picking up her bag.

"Anxious there Kiki?" Max said smiling.

"No Maxwell, I would like to go get unpacked and changed into my bathing suit to enjoy this beautiful sunshine."

"Sounds good, we'll meet you out there in a little bit" he said as Sidney and Karen left to head next door.

Sidney unlocked the door and they walked into their new home for the next two weeks.

"I can't believe I actually got the time off approved to be here right now."

"I know" Sidney said wrapping his arms around her "we finally got our honeymoon."

"Well, you know what that means?"

"No holds bar sexfest?"

"And that's any different from our normal lives back in Pittsburgh how?"

"It's not" he said as they both laughed "but at least we have the ocean air coming in, sound of the waves crashing to set the mood. Not to mention what we can do in the hot tub."

"Well, before either of us have sex in the hot tub, we need to make sure we're not out there at the same time."

"Yeah, was thinking that same thing. I'll tell Max before we go for dinner tonight."

"Would you be disappointed if I wanted to change and go lay out, saving anything and everything sexual until tonight?"

"I definitely would not be mad at that. As much as I would love to ravish you, waiting until tonight would make it worth the wait."

"I love you."

"I love you too baby." They shared a kiss and Karen went to the bedroom to unpack and change into her bikini. She picked the one that was the skimpiest to get more of her body exposed to the sun. As she came out a few minutes later, Sidney's jaw dropped "ok, I was prepared to wait, but seeing you in that bikini, I am having a very big change of heart."

"If I wear this one first, I get the better tan over my whole body."

"But there's barely anything to it baby."

"The parts that matter are covered studly. But before I head out, will you put some lotion on my back?"

"Sure" he said grabbing the bottle from her hands and helping her out. When he was done, Karen put the lotion all over her arms, legs, chest and stomach as Sidney watched on. She just smiled at him before grabbing her towel and heading out to the lounge chairs. Before long, Natalie came out to join her and Sidney went over to talk to Max before they went to join their women.

A few hours later, the four friends went out to dinner together but two didn't know what else was in store for the evening. During dinner, the girls didn't stop the guys from reflecting on their season and knew it would've been done eventually. When they finished eating, Sidney and Karen walked back to the villa as Max and Natalie took a detour down by the ocean.

"Natalie, can we talk about something?"

"Of course, what's going on?"

Max stopped her short of the water and turned to look at her "ever since that first night we met at Pops, I knew I wanted you in my life. I know it's been a while since I proposed and can tell how you've been questioning my waiting to pick a date."

"I haven't been questioning it as much as wondering if you were finding time to get yourself out of it. If you don't want to get married yet, I'm fine with a long engagement. But just don't keep stringing me along if you want this to be over."

"I don't want it to be over Nattie, I love you with all my heart. That's the reason I brought you down here."

"What are you talking about Max?"

"I do want to marry you Natalie...I want to marry you tonight."

Meanwhile, Sidney and Karen got closer to their villa and his cell phone rang. After he hung up, he unlocked the door and headed inside.

"Feel like helping me?"

"Do what?"

"The reason Max brought Natalie here is they're getting married tonight."

"WHAT?" Karen said excitedly.

"He wanted the perfect setting and we were the lucky two to witness it."

"Oh my God, Nat must be freaking out."

"She probably is, but I told Max that we would get some tiki torches lit and set up on the beach before they got here."

"Ok, and I'll get some towels and put down as a make shift aisle." As they got everything ready, there was a knock at the door. Sidney let the preacher in and thanked him for coming even though it was late. A few minutes later, Max and Natalie showed up. He told her to go to the bedroom and asked Karen to go help her get ready. They went in and Natalie saw a box on the bed. She opened it, revealing a beautiful dress with spaghetti straps. She changed into it and Karen fixed her hair quickly before freshening up her makeup. Before long, the girls came out and saw Max and Sidney standing by the tiki torches waiting for them. Karen handed a flower to Natalie as she took one and walked before her towards the guys. Natalie soon followed and stood beside Max.

"We are gathered here tonight to join Max and Natalie together in marriage. The love and life you two will share, is much greater than anything else in this world. Max, do you take Natalie to be your wedded wife, to love and to cherish every day for the rest of your life?"

"I do" Max said smiling at his bride.

"Natalie, do you take Max to be your wedded husband. To love and cherish every day for the rest of your life?"

"I do" she said as the tears cascaded down her cheeks. Sidney and Karen just looked at each other and smiled as their best friends got married.

"Do you have rings to exchange?" Max handed the rings to the preacher and he blessed them before handing each other one to put on their fingers. After they got the rings on, Max and Natalie stood there and looked into each other's eyes. "Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. Max, you may kiss your bride."

Max stepped closer to Natalie and brought his hand up to caress her cheek as their lips met for an incredible kiss. They broke apart a few minutes later and thanked the preacher again for marrying them at a moment’s notice. He bid them good luck and goodnight before leaving them alone.

"Oh Nattie, I am so happy for you" she said hugging her friend.

"Swear to me you didn't know about any of this."

"I didn't know, I swear. I heard about it the same time you said yes. I guess that means we're both on our honeymoon" she said as they both laughed.

Max and Sidney came back with glasses of champagne, handing a glass to each of their wives.

"Thank you to both my best friends for being here to help make this special for my wife and I. Karen, thank you for bringing this beautiful lady into my life and helping me win her over."

"Just take care of her Maxwell. She's my best friend and I don't want anything bad to happen to her."

"I plan on it for the rest of my life" he said turning to her for a kiss "and to my wife Natalie, the one who makes the bad days good and the good days even better. I love you and can't wait to start the rest of my life with you from tonight on."

"Congratulations you two, may you both love each other as much as Karen and I do. To Max and Natalie" Sidney said as they all raised their glasses and took a drink saluting the happy couple. Karen saw Max whisper into Natalie's ear and knew they would be leaving for the night. As they headed inside, Sidney put his glass down and took Karen's from her hand before leading her towards the water.

"I gotta tell ya baby, seeing them get married makes me want to marry you all over again."

"I guess we could go for the trifecta" she said smiling.

"Maybe I'm being serious." Sidney looked deep into her eyes and held both her hands "I, Sidney Patrick take you Karen Michelle to always be my wife. Through home games and road ones, I will remember my love for you goes deeper than just what other people see. I found my true love when I found you."

Karen wiped away a stray tear "I, Karen Michelle take you Sidney Patrick to forever be my husband. Between spectacular goals, multiple Stanley Cups and nagging injuries, I will stand in every arena cheering for you. I also found my true love when I found you."

"Since we don't need rings we can skip that part."

"Thank god since I have more than enough jewelry from you."

Sidney just smiled "wait, did you hear that?"

"Um, no."

"Listen to the waves for a second. Hear it...it's whispering 'you may kiss your wife.' "

"Actually, I believe it's saying 'kiss your wife, then go make mad passionate love to her' " she said wrapping her arms around him.

"You know, I do believe that is exactly what it's telling us." Karen took a step closer to Sidney and their lips met for their own incredible kiss. They broke apart a few minutes later and Sidney held her hand as he led her to their villa. They heard the moans coming from the other villa and had to laugh how their friends were together.

Sidney kept leading Karen until they got to the bedroom and instantly took off her dress but left her bra and panties on. Karen in turn, took off Sidney's shirt and pants, but left his boxers on. He kissed her before lifting her up and placing her on the bed, settling in beside her. They laid together kissing and letting hands lightly roam around each other's bodies. Karen was getting a little anxious that Sidney was taking his time but didn't want to ruin the romantic moment.

"Um studly I love this whole seduction scene you got going, but I think we've established in the last two years that I'm a sure thing."

Sidney lifted his head from kissing her neck and let out a small laugh looking at her "I definitely know you’re a sure thing baby, but this night just feels different than any other night."

"Do you truly know how much I love you?" she said caressing his cheek with the back of her hand.

"I have an idea but why don't you tell me."

“You found someone who was pretty much afraid to fall in love again and made her believe the right man was still worth finding. Do you know I thank God every day for bringing you into my life?”

“Well he must have foreseen this because I asked for someone who understood my life and to give me the perfect woman.”

“I’m not perfect Sid.”

“Perfect in the sense that you balance my life Karen. I love you and all your quirky faults.”

“I don’t think I want to know what quirks you’ve realized I have.”

“You have quirks, I have superstitions…it’s safe to say we’re equal that way.”

“Good. Now will you please make love to me? If I have to wait any longer to feel you inside of me, I am going to go next door and help myself.”

Sidney smiled and leaned down to kiss her soft pouty lips. He sneaked his hand towards the top of her panties and slid his hand under the fabric, making way over her mound towards her opening and letting his fingers slip inside. Sidney kept his lips attached to hers as he assaulted her fast and steadily. Karen reached her hand up and gripped Sidney’s wrist as she neared her peak. The kiss continued until Karen couldn’t hold on anymore and removed her lips from his letting out a thunderous moan. That of course didn’t stop Sidney who kept up his fast pace until he got everything out of her.

“Oh God” she whispered as her breathing began to slow down. Sidney removed his fingers and let her to continue to calm down. “Not that I didn’t enjoy that but that really wasn’t what I had in mind.”

“Not what I had in mind either, but all sexual encounters have to start somewhere baby.”

Karen turned and looked at Sidney before smiling at him. She made a move and sat up only to push him onto his back so she could return the favor. She never spoke one word as she took her fingers and brought down his boxers off his hips and down his legs. She seductively crawled up his legs until she was staring at his hard cock that seemed to have come alive. Sidney lied back and knew what was about to happen.

He took a deep breath when he felt her tongue graze his cock before covering it with her mouth. Sidney lightly moaned as he felt the warm breath cover him then let out a shiver when she removed her mouth and the cool air hit him. He didn’t have long to wait until Karen dived back in and continued her own line of assault on him. Sidney loved when she did this but it was his own fault that she didn’t do it enough. He never really gave her the chance as he always wanted to please her. Karen picked up her pace and Sidney felt the sensations rise. He gripped the comforter around him and made his hips start to buck upward as he knew he was ready to explode. Karen moved her hands to his hips to keep him steady as she brought his orgasm out. Sidney growled out as Karen slowed down to milk every last drop from him. She removed herself from off him until he calmed down himself.

“I think I’ve said it before” he said between breaths “I don’t let you do that nearly enough.”

“Well if you would quit attacking me every chance you get, then I could do it more often” she said with a light chuckle.

“I don’t think it’s attacking really as opposed to me wanting to please you every chance I get.”

“But I never get the chance to please you.”

Sidney made a swift move to remove her panties and laid on top of her, spreading her legs in the process and poking his cock at her entrance “every time we make love, you please me. How about I show you?” He didn’t give her time to respond as he moved his hips upward and slid inside her. The warm juices that covered his cock made it easy to move inside her as he began thrusting to get her going. Karen moved her hands to his ass helping to push him deeper into her. She thought about all the different ways she wanted him and wondered how long into the night they would have sex. Once Sidney got going, he thought about changing things up and not letting anything end just yet. He stopped and pulled out of her, reaching for her legs and putting them up and in between them. He sat up on his knees as he slid back inside of her while holding her legs ups.

“Oh God, right there” Karen whispered not really wanting Sidney to hear her in case he got comfortable and stayed like that until the end. She let him go a few more minutes “Sid stop” she breathed out “please stop.”

“Why baby?” he said giving into her.

“Put a pillow under me” she said moving one towards him. He knew what she wanted and he let go of her legs, grabbing the pillow. Karen lifted her ass up to help Sidney put the pillow under her. She lifted her legs up towards her head again and Sidney moved to leaned up against her legs, sliding back inside of her. He placed his hands up by her head and help leverage himself as he began to pound into her. The new sensations made it hard to want to change positions again and Karen let Sidney continue on. The tightness was a little too unbearable and both came hard at the same time. Karen moved her legs, putting them on either side of Sidney as he made a move to lie on top of her. “That was interesting.”

“You’re telling me.” Sidney kissed her before rolling off to the side and pulling her to him “we definitely need to find some more positions like that.”

“Speaking of that, weren’t you supposed to find a book about that for us?”

“I still could but it might be fun to make up our own.”

“I might have one that I saw and wondered if it would actually work.”

“Where did you see it?” Sidney asked with his eyebrow cocked.

“Just a late night movie while you were on the road one night.”

“Interesting, didn’t think we got the porn channel.”

“Yeah, Max hotwired it and we get it free now” she said rolling her eyes and hitting his stomach.

“Ouch, don’t bruise the merchandise baby.”

“Oh stop your whining wimp. You get hurt worse on the ice.”

Sidney held her tighter against his body “yeah but I usually have pads that protect me, you always aim for bare skin.”

“I guess you’ll start wearing your pads around the house when the sarcastic remarks leave your mouth then.”

She felt him kiss her head before he got out of bed, walking to the bathroom “or I can just say it when you’re not in ear shot” he said in a voice above a whisper as he shut the door.

“I STILL HEARD THAT STUDLY” she yelled back at him. Karen giggled before getting out of bed and going out on the terrace from their bedroom.

Sidney came out of the bathroom and saw his wife and her naked form standing on the terrace as the moonlight shined on her. He thought about just wanting to fall asleep holding her but he was getting turned on again. Sidney walked out and stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

“Are we trying to attract a new suitor?”

“Suitor? Who are you sometimes?”

“Sorry” he said laughing. “Why are you out here all naked and looking beautiful with the way the moonlight is hitting every shape and curve?”

“I’m enticing you.”

“But of course you are” he said roaming his hands over her body “how is it we always find a place with a terrace?”

“I think it finds us” she said turning around to face him “but I don’t want to play out here just yet.”

“We could save this for our last night here.”

“That idea I like” she said then leaned up to meet his lips for a soft kiss. She walked past him and went back to the bed, crawling under the covers. Sidney soon followed and got in, cuddling up to her and both falling asleep.
