A/N: Intense smut to start with because I'm excited as hell for the Willifer content in the revival!
The world was still quiet when JJ cracked her eyes open the next morning, the sun only just rising above the horizon to wake them for the day ahead. Everything was calm... still. Not a sound in the room other than Will's soft snores behind her.
She tried to fight off wakefulness just a little bit longer, but found herself wondering instead what had woken her up, while simultaneously becoming aware of a demanding ache in her body. At first, she thought she might have knocked her new piercings enough to wake herself up, but as she got her bearings after a few moments, she realised the ache she was feeling was not a painful one, and it wasn't in her chest.
She twisted around until she was lying on her stomach, her body beginning to hum as her mind wandered back to the previous evening. They had indulged in a couple of bottles of red wine with their friends, and that, coupled with Will's inability to keep his hands off of her all night, had led to an incredibly electric lovemaking session once they had retreated to their room. Will was so aroused by her that they had ultimately ended up having sex no less than three times before finally succumbing to exhaustion and falling asleep.
But now, she was remembering what had come since then. Just before she had woken up, she'd been having the most delicious dream; Will, going down on her, pleasuring her body with his tongue in ways only he knew how, teasing and tantalising her every sense until she was sure she was going to snap. His strong hands gripping her thighs, holding them tight around his head, his fingers digging into her skin with a hold that made it clear she was his, and his to touch.
She let out a breath she didn't realise she had been holding. No wonder she felt so restless.
She rolled her hips down into the mattress as the thoughts wandered back through her mind, the pressure against her pelvis just enough to elicit the softest gasp from between her lips. Beside her, Will let out a soft snore, turning his face away from her and shifting in his sleep. He lifted his arm, draping it above his head as he slept on, looking completely peaceful, totally unaware of his fiancée right next to him.
The fire in JJ's belly burned brighter.
She wanted him awake.
And she wanted him to fuck her again.
Lifting her head, she shuffled over until she was close enough to kiss him. But instead of pressing her lips to his, she brought them to the curve of his neck, pressing hot, featherlight kisses along the sweeping silhouette of his neck and shoulder, her left hand slowly dancing up his abs as he began to stir beneath her touch.
"Wha' you doin'?" he mumbled, refusing to open his eyes. "S'early"
"Waking you up," she whispered, purposely keeping her lips against his skin as she began to drag them up towards his ear. "I need you"
"Tired," Will breathed, letting out a sigh as he lifted a hand to rub his face, his eyes still resolutely closed. "Sleepin'"
JJ let out a soft laugh, her breath tickling the edge of his ear. "Well, then I guess I'll just have to masturbate, won't I?"
"Sure," Will breathed, earning a giggle from JJ. She leaned in, lightly nipping the edge of his ear with her teeth, swiping her tongue across the same spot as she slid a hand down under the elastic of her underwear. Almost as if her body had taken its own control, she couldn't help but grind down against her hand as her fingers brushed against her clit. Her breath caught in her throat, escaping as a soft moan when she circled her clit, her hips rocking down into her hand as she begged for more pressure, more contact. Her eyes fell closed, her soft moans and gasps filling Will's ear as she slowly worked her way towards the release she was aching for. Her breath caught in her throat, every muscle in her body tensing as she tried to push herself closer to a release. She forced her thoughts back to the dream, imagining it was Will's fingers dancing between her legs, imagining his tongue sweeping through her slick folds to collect every ounce of wetness she had for him.
Lifting her left leg, she threw it over Will's, her hand still between her legs but now using Will's hip as extra leverage to get the pressure on her clit she wanted. She felt Will move beneath her, and for a brief second she wondered what he was doing, until she felt his fingers brush against her knee as they wrapped around his dick.
She bit her lip, her muscles beginning to clench, the fire burning so hot now that she knew it was just moments away. She'd found her rhythm, her hips rocking in the perfect time to get her where she needed to go. With a Herculean effort, she forced herself to open her eyes, finding herself looking straight into the sleep clouded face of her fiance, his mouth propped open in a silent gasp as he began to stroke himself while he watched her.
"Do you know how fuckin' hot you look right now?" he said in a low growl.
Almost instantaneously, as if his voice had set her off, she snapped, letting out a breathless cry as her core pulsed down below the sheets. Her entire body tensed, her legs tightening and clenching together as she pushed her hips right down into her hand to maximise the aftershocks that were pulsing relentlessly through her body.
She'd barely had a chance to catch her breath when Will reached down beneath the sheets, tugging her underwear down her hips.
"Get those off and get on top of me," he said, his voice surprisingly commanding for having been half asleep just moments earlier. She obliged, wriggling out of them and tossing them over the side of the bed, before pushing herself up on shaking arms and throwing her leg over Will's lap.
"Take off your shirt. I wanna see you. All of you," Will directed, his hands fumbling at the hem of her T-shirt. She did as she was told, tugging the soft fabric up and over her head, before pulling off the soft sports bra she'd worn to bed to protect her piercings. As soon as they'd hit the floor, Will's hands were on her ribs, just below her breasts, his eyes roaming hungrily over her bare chest. He pulled her towards him, bringing his lips to the underside of her breast, gently nipping at the soft, creamy skin he found there. She gasped, arching her chest towards him, lavishing in the sensation of his tongue sweeping along the curves of her breasts, carefully avoiding the new piercings so as not to irritate them.
Pulling back, he tugged her down to him, capturing her lips in a kiss so passionate, she was sure her lips would have bruises, but she found she didn't care. In the midst of it all, Will slid his right hand underneath her, his fingers following blind trails he had mapped a thousand times, two of them diving easily into her wet heat, eliciting a loud gasp from her as he did.
"Always so wet for me," he groaned, gently stroking his fingers in and out, curling them every so often to tap at her G-spot. "Just perfect"
Unable to speak, all she could do was grip his waist, her fingernails digging into his sides as he teased her higher and higher, pushing her right to the brink of pleasure. Just as she was sure she was about to fall over the edge, he pulled his fingers from her, bringing them up to her mouth and swiping them across her lips before pulling her down for another passionate kiss. She could taste herself, which somehow only served to further stoke the fire in her belly that was now raging like an out of control wildfire.
"Take me inside you," Will breathed as they broke apart, his breath hitching in his throat as JJ's hand brushed over his nipple. "I wanna watch you fall apart"
The intensity in his voice was almost enough to make her cum again on the spot, but despite the throbbing between her legs, she rose up, reaching down between them and guiding him into her. They both groaned as their bodies met, JJ's head tipping back as Will's fingers gripped her sides, digging in so tightly she knew he would leave marks - but she didn't care.
Leaning forward, she placed her hands either side of his head, steadying herself as she began to rock her hips, grinding hard against his pelvis.
"Oh fuck, Jayje… that's so hot," Will groaned, his eyes fixated on her breasts, bouncing above him in time with their movements, the blue jewellery twinkling every time it caught the light cutting between the curtains. "Fuuuuck"
Continuing her rolling motions, JJ dropped her face, bringing her lips to the line of his jaw. Cupping his face in her other hand, she dragged her lips across the stubble of his cheek, briefly dropping a quick kiss every inch or so, until she reached his lips, where they met in the most crushing kiss they were sure they had ever shared. Right now, they were nothing but a feverish, passionate, sweaty tangle of skin on skin, the morning quiet permeated only by soft gasps and longing moans.
Pushing herself back up as she felt her second orgasm approaching, JJ arched her back, pushing her pelvis into Will's and applying direct pressure to her clit. Maybe it was because she had been so turned on from the moment she opened her eyes, but that proved to be enough to send her tumbling over the edge, the wave crashing over her in short, breathless cries, pulsing through her body as she dropped a hand to rest on Will's leg behind her. Blinded by the blissful haze, she hovered there, relishing in the pleasure as Will took hold of her hips and began thrusting into her, pushing himself quickly towards his own release. A minute later, fighting to keep his voice low lest they wake their guests, he came hard, shooting rope after rope deep inside JJ. She let out another soft moan, circling her clit again as she felt him finishing inside her. After a few moments, she fell to the side, breaking their connection as she collapsed down beside him, physically shaking and completely spent. For a moment, neither of them moved, until Will lifted a hand, lacing his fingers with hers and raising her hand to his lips. With a shaky breath, he pressed a kiss to the back of her hand, before flicking his eyes to meet hers with a little laugh.
"You're more than welcome to wake me up like that… any time you like," he said breathlessly.
JJ giggled, exhaling heavily as a pink flush hit her cheeks. "I… I guess I was pretty worked up from last night"
"Hey… I'm not complainin'," Will chuckled, letting out a breath as he turned his head to stare up at the ceiling. "Not complainin' at all"
"I was really horny," JJ said with a sigh, making Will laugh as he shakily rolled over onto his side so he could see her properly.
"I gathered that when you started dry humpin' me," he said with a grin, laughing again when the blush on JJ's cheeks deepened. "Not that I have any problem with that, because it was fuckin' hot"
Still chuckling, he lifted a hand, tipping JJ's chin up until their lips were level, before pulling her in for another kiss. In a stark contrast to earlier, this one was not heavy and passionate, but rather, sweet and gentle, filled with love and tenderness. JJ melted into his touch, bringing a hand up to cover the hand he now had cupping her cheek, flicking her eyes open as they broke apart, staring up at him through heavy lashes.
"Eight weeks," she said softly, smiling lovingly at him.
"Eight weeks," he repeated, leaning down and giving her another quick kiss. "I can't wait"
Days whiled into weeks. Aly and Simone left, not due back until a couple of days before the wedding. Life got busy, and the planning and preparing began to give way to final, minute details. Will put in longer hours, preparing for the fact he would be taking time off after the wedding for their honeymoon (which, despite his best efforts, JJ still refused to share the destination for). JJ worked harder than ever in rehab and training, wanting her body as strong and prepared as possible so she could pick up where she left off once the wedding season was over.
But then, it hit her. So hard it felt like she would fall in a screaming heap.
She'd been running for what felt like hours. Her feet pounding rhythmically into the ground, so set on her path she was sure she was going to wear a track into the green turf of the oval.
It was another miserable morning, a rare occasion now that spring was truly upon them. Grey and overcast, the sun unable to break through as a weak shower of rain drizzled around her. Spring was trying its best to push through, but the drizzly weather was not giving up without a fight.
And yet she kept running.
It was the ache in her chest at 4am that had woken her. Not a physical ache… an emotional one. One so strong that it felt like her chest was going to crack in two. One she hadn't felt for months.
She kept running. Even as the ache threatened to tear her up and swallow her whole. Even as the ugly sadness seemed to rise up in her throat. Even as she tried to keep the demons locked away.
She hadn't felt this way for nearly a year. Things had been good. Everything was ok. Why, now of all times, was it rising up against her again? Was this going to be one of those really bad days her therapist had warned her about? One of the bad days where the ugliness oozed into every part of her life, where she alienated the people who loved her to try and quarantine her own pain?
As she ran past her marker, ticking off another lap, her legs seemed to stop. Muscles like jelly, she slowed to a complete halt. Moments later, she was on the grass, her body completely spent as she flopped back with her face up towards the sky. She closed her eyes, the light rain hitting her face as she forced herself to breathe.
It was almost serene. She could hear nothing but the rustle of the wind in the trees and the light patter of rain hitting the ground. In and out, she forced her chest to rise and fall.
"JJ?"
She snapped her eyes open again. Just a few feet away stood Will, looking incredibly concerned.
"What are you doin'?" he asked gently.
"I was running," JJ replied blankly, shifting her gaze back up to the sky.
"Why? It's cold and wet out here"
"Why are you here?" she snapped, pushing herself up.
"Because we're gettin' married in three weeks. And I woke up to an empty bed at 4:30 in the mornin'. Your phone was still on the nightstand but your jacket and shoes were gone. You freaked me out, JJ. Here I was, thinkin' that everythin' has finally caught up to you and you don't want to go through with this marriage," Will said shakily. "Why else would you take off at 4 in the mornin'?"
"Because I woke up in so much pain that I didn't know what to do," JJ said as strongly as she could manage. But even as she spoke, she could feel it coming. The ugliness, the sadness… the darkness that had hung over her head for so long last year. "I got up and left because running is more productive than sitting in a corner somewhere crying my eyes out, or hurting myself," she said through impending tears. "We're getting married in three weeks and my dad and my big sister are never going to see it. Not only that, but I'm… terrified that I'm going to screw this up. It hit me so hard this morning that I felt like I was going to crack in two." The tears ran hot and fast down her cheeks, making her swipe them away as she tried to get a grip on herself. But it was to no avail. "I needed fresh air, I needed to do something," she sobbed. "I just wanted the hurting to stop"
Softening to his fiance's truth, Will slowly dropped himself down in the grass beside JJ, pulling his knees into his chest and sitting patiently as he waited for her to continue speaking.
"Is it going to feel like this forever?"
Lifting his face, he looked over at her. After a few moments, he gently reached out and took her hand, lacing their fingers together.
"No," he said simply. "It's always goin' to hurt a little. And it's always goin' to make you feel a little sad. But this overwhelmin' pain… these moments where the sadness is tryin' to drown you… they're goin' to get fewer and farther apart." He gave her a small smile, squeezing her hand. "Every milestone is goin' to get a little bit easier. And you're not gonna screw this up, Jayje. I promise you that. We're gonna figure it all out together"
JJ sniffed, wiping her tears from her cheeks.
"We can sit here as long as you need," Will said gently. "You're allowed to cry if you need to"
JJ nodded, swallowing hard even as more tears threatened to overwhelm her. She held tight to his hand, taking comfort in his presence and support.
The pain would get easier. The sadness would get happier. She just had to keep pushing through it.
