A/N: Not even gonna apologise for all the smut lately, we love these two!
She whirled through the air, her body rotating quickly about two axes as she whipped through the second twist. Her form was tight and clean, and the power was all there.
Hitting the pit mat hard, she was delighted to see that she had actually gotten it all the way around.
"NICE!" Nick yelled happily from the other side of the pit. "That's looking really good!"
It was the skill they had been playing with for nearly a year, only seriously training since just before Worlds. If JJ could master it in time for the US Classic, which was looking highly likely, it was going to make her floor routine one of the hardest in the world.
It was the double twisting double layout, otherwise known as the Moors, and it was the hardest tumbling element in women's gymnastics. It was arguably the hardest element overall outside of vaulting, and so for that reason, it had surprised JJ how naturally it had been coming to her over the last few months.
"Seriously, seriously, great," Nick praised as she climbed out of the pit and walked towards him. "That, with your double double, the connections to your Arabian, and a full in... makes you pretty unstoppable this year"
JJ grinned. "I'll tell Simone her national floor title is in jeopardy"
Nick laughed. "Yeah, then watch her show up at Nationals with a Moors, a full twisting double layout, a Biles, and a double double"
JJ had to laugh. Because, she wouldn't have been surprised at all if Simone actually did that.
Weak sunlight trickled through the gap in the curtains, casting a warm, dusty haze of light throughout the room. It was a cool, early morning, but Will was quite warm and content where he lay, half asleep beneath the duvet.
To his right, JJ was still deep in her dreams. She was laying on her stomach, her long hair swathed out behind her on the pillow. With her shirt bunched up just below her ribs, the duvet covering her from the waist down, she looked as comfortable as ever. And just as beautiful.
Rolling onto his side, he lifted his left hand, reaching out and brushing her hair back from her face. She shifted slightly at his touch, half a smile finding its way to her pretty features.
Bringing his hand down to the small of her back, he placed it gently against her warm skin. With his thumb, he gently stroked small circles over the subtle definitions of hard earned muscles, smiling when she shifted closer. Her eyelashes fluttered, her smile reappearing as she let out a sigh and turned onto her side, facing Will as she stretched her arm out above her.
Knowing she was now semi-awake and clutching onto sleep for as long as she could, Will moved even closer, his hand resting on her bare stomach as he nuzzled into the crook of her neck.
She let out a soft giggle, tipping her head to allow him easier access as he placed a trail of gentle kisses from beneath her ear all the way down to her collarbones. He lingered for a moment on the edge of her collarbone, before kissing his way back up the front of her neck, over her jaw, ending his trail with a deep kiss to her lips.
As they stayed locked in the kiss, they both shifted so that they were closer together; Will was now lying directly over the top of JJ, her arms draped loosely around his midsection.
When they broke apart, her eyes fluttered open, shining brightly even in the dull wintery light of the bedroom.
"You can wake me up like that anytime you like," she said softly with a giggle. Will broke into his handsome grin, tucking her hair behind her ear as he leaned back down towards her.
"I wasn't planning on stopping there," he replied in a low growl, capturing her lips in another deep kiss. JJ melted into his touch, opening her lips as he brushed his tongue against hers. It seemed as though they had both awakened with a burning desire that desperately needed to be satiated.
Sliding his free hand beneath the waistband of JJ's sweatpants, Will brushed past where he knew she really wanted to be touched, instead tracing circles on her inner thigh. She let out a quiet groan, effectively breaking their kiss, her legs falling apart as she tried to direct his touch closer to her center.
"You like that?" Will asked teasingly.
"I'd like it a whole lot better if you'd actually touch me," JJ replied, frustration dripping from each word. It had been so long since they had been properly intimate, so long since they had fulfilled each other's pleasures, that all it had taken was a couple of incredibly passionate kisses to get her turned on. But now, she felt like that burning arousal couldn't possibly be satisfied.
Surely Will was feeling the same.
And sure enough, as he shifted his weight so his hips were resting against hers, she could feel his hardened length against her thigh, desperate to be freed from his sweats.
Giving in, Will redirected his touch to her core; she was already highly aroused, and so it gave him great pleasure to slip his fingers beneath the elastic of her underwear.
When he touched her properly for the first time, she let out a gasp, pushing her hips into his hand as he gently stroked her, pleasured her, satisfied her in ways only he knew how. Given that she was thoroughly enjoying his touch and appeared to have no mind for anything else at the present moment, he was pleasantly surprised when one of her hands slipped into his boxers and closed around his aching shaft.
Sleep was long forgotten as they worked with and against each other. The room grew heavy with arousal and desire, their sleep clothes being pulled off tantalisingly slow as their hands wandered distractedly across each other's bodies. Before too long, they were both completely naked, still locked in an embrace as they relished the sensation of their bare skin pressed together.
But neither of them could take the ever growing arousal anymore. Bracing himself over JJ, Will pushed gently into her, both of them groaning as their bodies agreed with the change of pace.
It was needy, heavy breaths and soft moans breaking the early morning silence that hung above them in the room. Despite the cool wintery air outside, sweat glistened on their skin, but even that couldn't have stopped JJ from pulling Will as close to her as she could.
She was the first to finally fall over the edge, letting out a cry of ecstasy as her entire body tensed up through radiating waves of pleasure. Will came a few moments later, rocking his hips to coax himself through the release as he fought to hold himself up on shaking arms. Breathless and sweaty, he eventually collapsed down beside JJ, his body half covering hers as they basked in the afterglow.
"Better than an alarm," JJ finally said about five minutes later, looking over at Will with a grin. He chuckled, lifting his head to kiss her cheek.
"Way better," he agreed. Looking to his left, he glanced at the clock on the bedside table. "You have training in like... an hour"
"Then you better let me up so I can go pee," JJ giggled.
"What if I don't?" Will asked cheekily.
"It's not gonna end well for either of us," JJ said seriously, pushing Will off of her as he laughed. Grabbing her shirt from the end of the bed, she tugged it over her head before starting to get up and head for the bathroom. As she stood up, Will reached over, playfully swatting at her ass, making her jump.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, unable to fight back a grin as she shot him a rude hand gesture before heading into the bathroom, leaving him to laugh it up on his own in the bedroom.
"Will? I'm back!" she called out as she let herself back into the apartment just before lunchtime. She dropped her gym bag by the door with a thunk, kicking the door closed behind her.
"Will?" she called out again, now noticing how the apartment seemed absent of life. A tiny twinge of worry grew in her stomach; if Will wasn't going to be there when she got back to his apartment, he would always let her know.
She walked across the room, peering around the corner into the kitchen. Finding it empty, she turned on her heel, walking straight towards the little walkway that led to the bedroom. A grin spread across her face as she came into the little space. Will was still in bed, flat on his stomach with the sheet wrapped around his waist. It didn't look like he had made any attempt to move after their little rendezvous that morning, and JJ couldn't resist the temptation to tease him a little.
"Wakey wakey," she cooed, grinning as she crept across the room and climbed onto the bed. Will screwed up his face, pulling his pillow a little closer as she crawled over the top of him and lay on his back. "Rise and shine sleepyhead," she giggled, trailing a fingernail along the side of his neck. He squirmed, trying to wriggle away from her as she laughed and tickled him more.
"Hey, don't tickle me," Will mumbled, finally cracking his eyes open in the sunlight. "You're back soon"
"I've been gone nearly five hours babe," JJ said with a giggle. "I even went and got my nails done, look"
She waggled her fingers in front of his face, laughing when he grabbed them to see them better.
"You have pretty hands," he said sleepily, earning another laugh.
"If you turn them over, I'm sure the calluses and rips are twice as gorgeous," she teased.
Will turned beneath her, holding onto her until she was lying on his chest. He smiled up at her through sleep clouded eyes, reaching up and tucking a loose strand of hair back from her face.
"Every bit of you is perfect," he said, a dopey grin sliding onto his face. JJ giggled, leaning down and pressing a kiss to his lips as he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a tight squeeze.
She loved these moments. Under all the pressure, they made her feel like she could breathe easier again.
