***Sorry this chapter took so long....but as you will see it is much longer than my usual stories, and probably my favorite chapter so far. Enjoy!***
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Eyes were focused on the radiant couple in the middle of the dance floor, but neither J.R. nor Nikki was aware of them. J.R.’s arms were securely wrapped around her tiny waist and her arms were locked tightly around his neck as they swayed to the music. Her warm breath heated the side of his neck where she had her head tucked, his chin resting lightly on top of her blonde locks.
The evening had been filled with hours of laughter shared with friends and family. Many of which they hadn’t seen in months, and even their families had seen very little of them since the Super Bowl. This was also the first chance that Nikki and J.R.’s families had really spent time together…………and to the couple’s relief…..both families seemed to adore the other. Laughing comfortably over bad jokes told by their fathers and sighing over sappy stories told by their mothers, the two families bonded more with each passing hour.
A wonderful dinner was served shortly after J.R. and….a refreshed…Nikki returned to the room. Following dinner, the DJ that J.R. hired began to liven things up a bit and J.R. enjoyed watching the way Nikki danced the night away with her girlfriends from college and elsewhere. He enjoyed reminiscing with his college brothers as well, but couldn’t keep his eyes off of his fiancé….loving the way the music took control of her beautiful body and made her curves seemingly curve more.
Although they were at the same party, the couple spent little time with each other as they tried to provide attention to everyone that had traveled so far to see them. A little chat between J.R. and the DJ suddenly had the room filled with a romantic love song. J.R. couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Nate grab Nikki’s hand and start dancing with her……much faster than the beat…..as she and Nate’s girlfriend, Roni, (the waitress from Disney) giggled.
J.R. glanced at them and raised his eyebrow with a smile betraying his face. He knew better than to try and even the score by dancing with Roni………he knew that would only annoy Nikki, so he casually stepped behind Nate and grinned at his fiancé as he tapped……none to lightly….on Nate’s shoulder. Nate looked up at his teammate with a sheepish grin and a very dramatic pout as he surrendered the intoxicated Nik to her groom.
She teetered a bit as she went to move from Nate to J.R., but his arms held her steady. Leaning down to kiss her lips that tasted like amaretto sour (her favorite cocktail) he could tell she had consumed plenty and knew it was time to end the party and take her back to the hotel.
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw’s voices surrounded them, with “Let’s Make Love”, causing every couple in the room to focus on each other, especially J.R. and Nikki.
“Let’s get out of here Kitten.”
“Mmmmmm,” was the only response he got as he lifted her into his arms and waved goodnight to everyone with Nikki practically asleep against his shoulder. Both sets of parents offered to stay until everyone had left, allowing J.R. to grab Nikki’s purse and head for the door with security leading the way. J.R. realized celebrity does has it’s advantages as the guards opened and held each door along the way and led him to the waiting limo outside. As soon as they settled inside and the door was closed Nikki seemed to be wide awake.
One thing he knew about his girl was how alcohol could affect her. For Nikki, amaretto was one of the strongest aphrodisiacs, and she had him panting from her hands and lips before they reached the hotel and since listening wasn’t top on her list at the moment, it took a sharp swat to her backside to get her to pull off of him as the guard opened the door to let them out. He carried her till they reached the room where he moved to the bedroom and set her carefully on the bed.
Her eyes took in his appearance as he got a bottle of water for them both (knowing they’d both had enough to drink). His jacket and bowtie had been discarded and the top three buttons on his white tux shirt were unbuttoned and the sleeves were rolled up, showing just enough of his muscled chest and forearms to drive Nikki wild. Combined with the black suspenders and pants (and alcohol), she thought she would orbit just watching him as he stepped closer.
One arm on each side of her, he leaned down and kissed her briefly before sitting and pulling a slightly stunned Nikki across his lap, quickly lifting her skirt and lowering her panties down her legs, letting them fall to the floor.
“J.RRR….,” she half whined, half begged.
“Yes, Nik?”
“You’re not gonna spank me are you?” she asked him as her thighs opened a bit more, trying to tempt him towards other activities.
His hand rubbed pleasantly as he spoke, “Mmmm, yes Kitten, I am. That was one of the rules that came with the dress, remember?”
Nikki moaned as he rubbed, her voice growing husky as she responded, “mmmmhmmm.”
“And I also remember telling a certain young lady that she needed to be able to walk on her own by the end of the evening, and if I’m not mistaken your feet haven’t taken a step since we left the dance floor,” making his voice sound stern.
She lifted up slightly and looked back at him, his eyes noted the way her face seemed uncertain. He knew she couldn’t quite tell if he was kidding or not. Leaning his lips down to hers he kissed her softly feeling her hand tighten on the back of his neck the way her hands always tightened their hold on him when she was worried. He calmed her fears easily, “Shhh, no bad girl spankings tonight, only the kind we both like, ok Baby?”
The tense muscles in her face and hand relaxed as she smiled and blushed, her kitten eyes peeking up at him, “Yes Sir.”
He spanked with the expertise that only love can teach. His hand fitting perfectly to her soft pale bottom as it connected again and again, stopping to smooth over the sting. He knew he hadn’t spanked enough for either of them, but damn he wanted her…..now!
“Nik……,” his voice trailing off as he touched between her silken thighs. She turned and saw his eyes and pounced on him, pushing him back onto the mattress……devouring him and ridding him of only the necessary clothes at the same time. They pawed at each other like teenagers, his hands pushing her dress off her shoulders to free her perfectly round breasts. The dress never making it completely off as she guided him inside her…….her back arched…..her head thrown back as he watched in amazement. Her blonde hair fell around her face as she sat back up and then she leaned down with a grin and nipped one of his nipples with her teeth.
Growling, her tiger grabbed her wrists roughly without harming her and drew them behind her back, causing her to arch her back once again. Holding both wrists easily in one hand, he used the other to torment her nipples until she was whimpering. Perfect ab muscles flexed as he lifted his upper body……using his tongue to pamper her tender peaks.
“J.RRRRRR. Pleeeeease!” she begged him breathlessly.
“Not yet, Kitten. Soon, but not yet.” Smiling devilishly at the groan from her lips.
He frustrated her almost to her breaking point by reaching his hand under her dress that was bunched up on top of him, seeking and finding the button he searched for. After only a few more moments of blissful torture, he thrust deep inside her and groaned, “Now, Kitten…….Now Baby……NOW!”
Instantly both of them stiffened and he released her wrists, pulling her roughly down onto his chest, holding her as her body convulsed with his. Savoring every tremor he held her so close she could barely breathe.
“Mmmmm……So sexy J.R……so hot……so….mine,” her voice tired but clear as she hugged tight to his sweaty body.
His lids flickered as he grinned down at her dreamlike state, his hand stroking her hair lightly, “Yes Baby…..Yours…..all yours Darlin’.”
A smile curved her lips, her eyes closed as were his……..the couple sharing a chuckle as they woke several hours later in the same position….only to finally disrobe completely and start all over again.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The wake up call came mid-morning, but still felt way too early for the happily snuggled couple. J.R got nominated to play the bad guy as he encouraged his blonde haired goddess up and into a nice long shower that seemed to improve her mood as well as his.
However, her good mood quickly evaporated as they pulled up to their destination an hour later. J.R. had refused to tell Nikki where they were going and now she knew why. As the door to the limo opened, Nikki found herself staring at the front of a hospital.
Nikki’s feet turned to lead as J.R. took her ice cold hand into his.
“Come on, Nik…..we have to do this to get our license,” wrapping his arm around her trembling form, practically forcing her to walk with him.
“JJJJJ.RRRR. PPPPlease,” clinging to his strong form.
He stopped his stride to turn and lift her, “Shhhhhh, I know Kitten…..I’m sorry Babygirl.”
The slight shuddering of her shoulders let him know that she was crying. His heart felt like someone was stabbing him, even worse than when he had to punish her. He felt like he was punishing her, and she hadn’t done anything wrong, as he carried her teary eyed form into the clinic. His agent had made sure they would get in and out as quickly as possible….so J.R. was promptly sitting down with Nikki tucked tightly to his chest, resting on his lap inside the small, stark white, exam room.
J.R. volunteered to go first; knowing after Nikki went his best bet would be to get her out of there as quickly as he could. She buried her face in his shoulder as the nurse helped him raise his sleeve and extend his arm. All too quickly for Nikki she heard the nurse tell J.R. she was done with him and Nikki’s grip turned lethal.
“Nik…..Come on Baby…..let go Sweetheart,” he softly encouraged her as he pried her off of himself and turned her to sit between his thighs…..his hand gently entending her tiny arm. He used his other hand to turn her face back to him and he distracted her thoughts by nibbling behind her ear….his eyes watching the nurse carefully……and at the exact right moment he captured her lips with his…..kissing her hard and forcefully until he heard the nurse once again announce that she was finished. By this time Nikki was panting……oblivious to the band-aid that now rested on her arm. J.R. grinned, “All done Darlin’…….I think it’s time to reward my Princess.”
She smiled and blushed a bit as he led her back out to the limo where she cuddled up to his side and continued the make-out session he started inside finally pulling apart as they stopped at a small beach-side café for lunch.
They enjoyed the sea breeze and warm sun…..holding hands and sharing soft kisses throughout their meal. The few times that Nikki started to worry about wedding plans, J.R. would put his finger to her lips and kiss her, assuring her that everything was taken care of and that all she had to do was show up.
“Oh I’ll show up all right……with you cuffed to my arm…..I gotta make sure you don’t make a run for it at the last minute,” she told him with a bratty grin.
His hand cupped her chin for the hundredth time that day and kissed her….his eyebrow arched playfully, “If there’s gonna be any cuffs used they’ll be used by me tomorrow night Minx.”
“Why not tonight Cowboy,” countering him at every turn today…..her eyes telling him how frisky she was feeling at the moment.
She couldn’t read his expression…..it was a mix of desire and sadness…..it was the sadness she didn’t understand, “What's wrong J.R.?”
“Nothing Babygirl, I just know you’re not going to like what I’m about to tell you.”
“Wwwwhy? Whhhat?” her voice stuttering a bit.
He smiled softly, “Sweetheart it’s nothing bad, it’s just that tonight we have two rooms at the hotel.”
Her forehead creased with confusion, “Two? Why two?”
“Because Darlin’. It’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding,” watching her face turn to disbelief just like he knew it would.
“You can’t be serious J.R.!” her eyes filling, causing him to question himself and if he was wrong.
“I am serious Nik. It’s tradition.”
“I don’t care about tradition. I will not be sleeping alone tonight J.R.!” her face becoming flushed with frustration….her eyes still threatening to spill over.
“Well you had better be sleeping alone, because I’m going to be in the other room Nicole.”
“Dammit J.R.!” his jaw twitched as she slid her chair back and walked to the ladies room, tears trickling down her face.
He knew when he went down to the front desk this morning to ask for the extra room that she would be upset, but he never expected this display. The last thing he wanted to do today was fight with her. He wondered if he should just give in and cancel the other room, but he realized that would send her the wrong message, that she could throw a tantrum and get her way. Did she really think he wanted to sleep alone tonight? The last night they had spent apart had been months ago when he had his last away game, and that was before they were engaged and things weren’t quite as serious.
After fifteen minutes had passed and Nikki still hadn’t returned, he stood with a growl and walked to the door of the ladies room. Pulling a waitress aside he asked her to check the bathroom for him and after being assured Nikki was the only one inside he went in, asking the waitress to stop anyone from coming in behind him.
To say Nikki was surprised to see him in the bathroom would be an understatement. But the reaction he got was not the fiery one he expected. Tears had soaked her face and were now soaking his shirt as she flung herself into his chest.
“I…..I…….I’m sssssssorrryyyy J.R.”
“Shhhhhhhhhhh, Shhhhh, it’s ok Baby. Shhhhhh don’t cry Sweetheart.” Holding her tenderly.
When she had calmed a bit she looked up at him, her eyes were red and a little puffy, “I didn’t mean to yell at you J.R. I just hate the thought of not having you close to me tonight. But I shouldn’t have reacted like that, I’m so sorry J.R. I love you so much.”
His thumbs caught the two tears that escaped as she spoke and he smiled down at her as he kissed her protruding bottom lip, his tongue slipping inside to tickle hers, “I love you too Kitten. Everything will be fine…..I promise. I don’t want to sleep without you either. But I’ll make you a promise.”
“A promise?” smiling and blushing once again after his sweet kiss.
“Uh huh,” leaning down to bite her earlobe, “I’ll make it up to you tomorrow night.”
“Mmmmmmmm,” her head leaning back to allow him access, “Mmmm, J.R.?”
“Yeeees?”
“Is there any rules against sleeping together the afternoon before the wedding?” her face filling with color as he leaned back and stared at her with a raised eyebrow.
Giggling as her groom acted like he was seriously trying to remember if there was a rule….then shrieking as he tossed her over his shoulder and said, “Nope.” The security guards tried hard not to chuckle at the scene as they walked out of the restaurant, Nikki still over his shoulder until the reached the limo.
The afternoon was spent carefully studying each other from head to toe. Tender touches and gentle kisses….interrupted at times with moments of fierce and forceful loving and peaceful intermissions filled with cuddling and slumber.
J.R. had promised their family and friends last night that they would all have dinner together tonight….causing both bride and groom to groan miserably as they got up and headed for the shower. The shower itself was pleasant and finally when they were truly clean they got dressed and headed out to the restaurant hand in hand.
They had decided on a restaurant inside a neighboring hotel. J.R. did most of the entertaining of the guests, allowing Nikki to simply enjoy the evening by his side. She was unusually quiet and when the conversations had paused for a bit, J.R. pulled her close and squeezed her gently.
“You okay Kitten?”
When she smiled genuinely up at him, kissing his soft lips, he relaxed, able to tell that her expression was an honest one, “Yes, Sweetheart, I’m wonderful,” looking into his deep emerald eyes, “I can’t believe that by this time tomorrow I will be able to call you my husband.”
Both her eyes and his were a bit watery and they forgot about their guests for a moment as they enjoyed a few more kisses, finally stopping as her dad cleared his throat, causing both of them to blush.
“Well…..now that the lovebirds have finally come up for air I guess I can make my toast,” his eyes smiling at his blushing daughter and sheepish future son-in-law.
“Ever since Nicole was a little girl I have pictured her wedding day. I always thought that day would be a bittersweet feeling of loss and gain….giving my sweet girl away, but being able to watch her start her own life. I never imagined what a wonderful gift this day we have all waited for could be. It’s the gift every father hopes for…..a son-in-law that will take care of my little girl and that causes her eyes to sparkle like they never have before,” her dad’s eyes becoming misty, Nikki’s tears flowing silently as J.R. squeezed her hand and kissed the side of her cheek.
“Watching the two of you and the way you love each other gives a father the kind of feeling most parents can only dream about. I wish for you both to cling to what you are feeling in this moment and never let it fade. Never take each other for granted and…” his face turning back to one of humor, “make sure you keep winning, J.R. so they don’t send you to play for Arizona because I think you might find yourself shopping for a more comfortable couch when Nik finds out.” J.R. and Nikki both laughed, along with the rest of the group….especially Nate…finding the thought of J.R. playing for the Desert Rats highly amusing.
Nate then stood and everyone quieted, “Well, first of all, I’d like everyone to say a little prayer that I don’t get traded to Arizona either,” causing everyone to dab their eyes as they laughed deeply…waiting till they had stopped to continue.
“In my few years that I’ve been involved in the game, I’ve never seen anyone that plays the way Davidson does. Each and every game he plays with his heart, but he never loses perspective. In this business, it’s easy to lose perspective as to what is important and I realized that I have a lot to learn when I watched Davidson walk out of that game to be with Nikki. He taught me that day that it really is just a game and that without a reason to win it means nothing and I now that no matter what both of you have won,” pulling a box out of his pocket and handing it to Nikki and motioning for her to open it, everyone gasping as she did……inside was a Super Bowl ring. Nikki felt more tears falling down her cheeks as she looked up at Nate with a confused expression, “Read the inscription,” he instructed her.
Inside the ring it was inscribed, “Mrs. Nicole Davidson, #12 ½”. Nikki smiled and showed the ring to J.R…..then stood to hug Nate, J.R. shaking his hand proudly, “Thanks man.”
Not long after the emotional speeches, J.R. and Nikki were walking hand in hand back to their hotel….security with them but at enough of a distance to allow the couple some privacy. As the elevator rose and then stopped at their floor, both bride and groom became quiet. J.R. walked with Nikki to their room, but didn’t walk in with her, but rather stood outside the open door.
Nikki had convinced herself that this wouldn’t be as awful as she thought, but standing here now she couldn’t meet his gaze, afraid she would crumble.
“Nik,” his finger under her chin, not surprised at the resistance she gave as he attempted to lift her eyes to his. When she finally met his eyes, he almost wished he’d let her stare at her toes as he saw the tears pouring down her cheeks. He was amazed she had any tears left at times.
“Shhhhh,” his arms holding her against him, “Would it make it better if I tucked you in Babygirl?”
She nodded against him, feeling him take her hand and lead her into the room, helping her out of her evening clothes and into one of his practice t-shirts she liked to sleep in when he was away at a game. The smell of his cologne on the shirt caused her to want him even more than she already did, but she fought the urge to rip his clothes off and obediently crawled under the covers after he pulled them down.
Drawing the blankets up around her, he sat beside her and brushed her hair back from her face, leaning down to kiss her tenderly. She couldn’t stop herself as her hands moved behind his head and neck, pulling him closer, kissing him deeper, whimpering unhappily as he finally pulled away and gave her a quick peck and tweaked her nose, “You’ll pay for that tomorrow Princess.”
Her eyebrows danced as she whispered low in his ear, “What would I have to pay for you to……” her voice becoming sultry as he groaned and swatted the side of her bottom over the covers. “Such a Minx.”
She smiled sadly as she realized she wasn’t going to win him over tonight, but smiled as he kissed her forehead and whispered, “I love you Nicole Meredith.”
“Mmmm, I love you too J.R.”
Turning out the light as he stood and moved toward the door, “Goodnight my Angel, tomorrow you will be my wife.”
He could see her smile even in the dark room and he quietly slipped out the door as he blew her a kiss.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A loud banging on his door made J.R. jump out of bed. Yanking it open clad in only his boxers, he stood face to face with a shaking, sobbing Nikki.
His t-shirt fell almost to her knees but he pulled her scantily clad body inside the door as he tried to figure out what was wrong, “Nik……what’s wrong Sweetheart.”
Her words fell out brokenly, “Mmmmmmy bbbbed……………..hhhhholding mmmmmme dddddown………Mmmmmmurphey.”
When the last word registered J.R. yanked the door open and yelled to one of the security guards in the hallway, pointing towards the other room, “Check her room, NOW!!!” As the guard scrambled to do as he was told, J.R. attempted to get Nikki so he could understand her. “Nicole, Baby I need you to tell me exactly what happened. If that son of a bitch hurt you again so help me……” his voice trailing off as the guard appeared at the door.
“Sir….there’s no one in the room.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Have you been watching this floor all night?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Did you see anyone go into her room after I left?”
“No, Sir. No one has been allowed on this floor without permission, Sir.”
“Ok…..thank you,” closing the door J.R. turned to see Nikki sitting on the floor, her knees pulled up as she hugged them to her chest.
Sitting down beside her he pulled her into his lap and rocked her slowly, “Nik, honey, talk to me.”
“I…..I….I ffffelt you rrrreach for me in mmmy bed. Bbbbut then wwwwhen I turned over it wwwwasn’t you…..It wwwwwas Alllllen Mmmmurphey. I ssssscreamed and tttttthen hhhhe wwwwas ggggone and I nnnnnnneeeded yyyyou J.R…….I sssstill nnnnnneed you J.R.” clinging to him and he reassured her, “Shhhhhh, it’s ok Baby, I’m here.”
It took a minute, but finally her words started to make more sense, “Nicole, was Murphey really in your room, or was it a just a nightmare Sweetheart?”
Her voice grew quiet, he could tell she was embarrassed by her fear, “Nnnnnightmare.”
He nearly squeezed the breath out of her as he sighed with relief and look up to the sky, “Thank God.” He leaned his face down to hers, their noses almost touching, “I oughta paddle your backside for scaring me like that,” his voice soft but half serious.
The way her eyes immediately filled and her arms clung tighter made him realize she hadn’t meant to scare him, and the way her body still shook….he knew she was truly frightened by the dream.
“I…I’m ssssorrryyy J.R. I ddddidn’t mmmmean……” cut off by his sudden kiss.
He smiled at her as he lifted her and laid her in his bed….pulling the covers over them both he whispered, “If you don’t tell…….I might be able to bend the rules.”
At last she grinned, “You’re secret’s safe with me, Cowboy.”
“Mmmmmmmmmm, promise?” his mouth trailing kissed down her tummy, his t-shirt bunched up near her neck as he pushed it out of his way.
“Mmm hmm, I promise,” a mischievous gleam in her eye, “as long as you promise not to tell my fiancé that I had a boy in my bed tonight.” Squealing as he growled and bit her nipple, quickly kissing the pain away. As they orbited together, J.R. realized he liked this tradition much much better.
