Sleeping In {Porter}

Jessica had definitely been having a great time so far, and she couldn't wait to see what else was in store for the rest of the trip. Especially in terms of food, she couldn't deny - everywhere they'd eaten at so far had been delicious, more so than she would have anticipated, and she had been happily chowing down everything that was put in front of her without a second thought toward her calories intake. Unlike Mel, unfortunately, who had to be a bit more careful at times, seeing as she had to keep herself in good shape. Mostly though, she seemed to be in the mindset of eating what she wanted and working on burning the calories when she could. As it was, Jade went on runs every single morning - Jess really didn't know how the older girl did it - and Mel had joined her when she'd realized just how much eating would be involved during this trip. It definitely made her thankful for her own metabolism, which pretty much took care of everything for her without having to worry too much about it. And well, the amount of walking they'd been doing surely came in handy as well.

Today, however, would be different in the sense that it was the day Amanda had set aside for them to spend some couple time rather than hang out the whole group together. Which had been really great in itself, but she had to admit she was looking forward to spending a bit of alone time with her boyfriend. And she'd decided to start out the day by letting him sleep in - they'd been having a lot of short nights so far, and it was starting to take its toll on Porter. She'd gotten pretty well adjusted to it though, and so she joined the group as a few of them got some breakfast and the rest got ready to get on their way - Mel and Oli to Animal Kingdom, and Mands and Jade to Magic Kingdom - wishing them all a great day as they left the room. Deciding to use that free time to get herself showered, wrapping a towel around herself and sneaking into the master bathroom so she could blowdry her hair without waking up Porter. Once that was taken care of, she made her way back to hers and the senior's bedroom, raising an eyebrow slightly as she noted that he was still sleeping. Glancing over at the clock and determining she'd given him enough extra sleep, dropping the towel and quietly stepping closer to the bed, climbing on top of the other guy and straddling his hips as she started slowly trailing kisses down his chest.

During his time thus far at Disney World, Porter had found two things to be true. One, it wasn't quite as family oriented as he'd always imagined it was. Sure, there were still lots of families and kids around, but far less than what he'd always assumed would be. Second, he was the only one who seemed to care about the fact that he liked to have a normal sleep schedule. Their days tended to be long and in the hot Florida sun, they seemed all the longer. It'd really began to take its toll on him, no doubt about it. He was ready for their 'couple day' as Amanda had been calling it because Jessica had promised that they could sleep in some on it before they headed over to Hollywood Studios for the day - which was the park that they'd both enjoyed the most thus far just because of the fact that it had the top two rides at the park in his opinion. Plus, although it seemed smaller than the other parks that they'd been to, there did seem to be fewer children around and he was all for that. Not quite as few as at Epcot but then there wasn't much to do there either in terms of attractions.

Overall, he was pretty sure that they would have a fun day together and not regret their choice. However, the top thing he was looking forward to was still the sleeping in part of the equation. He had woken up briefly when Jessica had gotten out of bed at the same time they'd been getting up so far this week - apparently she'd gotten used to it by now and he wasn't about to stop her - but one glance at the clock had been enough to send him back to sleep pretty easily - especially considering that they'd been keeping the window curtains closed to get the most of the sleep hours that they'd been keeping. Not waking again until she'd gotten atop of him and started trailing kisses down his chest. Taking a moment to open his eyes, but definitely regretting not doing so sooner once he noticed that she was completely naked. "This is a better wake up call then I'd been expecting," he told her, one of his hands moving to rest on her hip as the other moved up to rest at the base of her head, tangling into her blonde hair.

Honestly, there really was no situation in which Jess wouldn't have taken the time to have sex with her boyfriend. As it was, she was pretty sure Mel hadn't entirely believed her when she'd told her the reason they weren't leaving at the same time as the rest of the group was because she'd told Porter he could get a bit more sleep, but oh well. It wasn't like she was embarrassed or anything either about the fact that she would be taking advantage of the empty two bedroom villa to make sure she didn't have to keep quiet while her boyfriend gave her pleasure. Not that she'd had to worry about that too often so far - honestly, it wasn't knowing that there was someone in the next room over that had been holding her back the most, but the sheer amount of stuff they got done in a day, which rendered them all pretty exhausted by the time they got back to the room. They'd still managed to go at it a couple of times so far this week, but she had to admit it had been a bit more of lazy sex than what they were generally used to, because there wasn't all that much energy to be spared, even for her.

Yesterday had been a fairly quiet day though, and although they'd gotten back from Downtown Disney a bit more on the late side, the fact that they'd been able to take the time to rest and that she'd gotten a great night of sleep greatly contributed to the fact that she was currently feeling more than ready to get down to business with her boyfriend. Only thing was, she had to wake him up first - which admittedly didn't take him very long after she'd climbed on top of him and had started kissing her way down his chest. Briefly stopping herself as she felt him stir and heard him speak up, looking up at him and moving herself back up a little as he commented on her current course of activities being a better wake up call than he'd been expecting. "Well, you wouldn't expect me to just let the phone wake you up when I could take care of it myself, would you?" she spoke a bit teasingly, pressing a brief kiss to his lips before getting back on track. Getting the covers out of the way before trailing her hands down his stomach, grabbing onto the hem of his boxers so to pull them off of him as her lips kept moving lower down.

Porter had quickly found that Jess' worry about taking the bedroom so that they didn't have to hear two couples having sex hadn't actually been that big of a worry. Judging from himself and Jess alone, he didn't think anyone was having that much sex. Their days were pretty full of activities, to the point where when they got back to the room at night, pretty much everyone seemed exhausted. To top it off, both Jade and Melanie woke up even earlier than everyone else ot go jogging because apparently they weren't keeping in enough shape by walking around all day in the parks. It was their deal though and he was just glad that Jessica wasn't crazy enough to worry about going with them. After all, if, on top of everything they did in a day, she started to jog there'd be no way that she'd ever have the energy left to attempt anything physical. And while it wouldn't kill him to go a week without sex - obviously - it didn't mean that it was the ideal situation either. Especially given how attractive Jessica was and the fact that they, for once, had access to a decent sized bed.

Which was really the only complaint to be made on his part about how things worked at the Academy. Space, was a pretty nice luxury and prevented situations where things sometimes got a little uncomfortable. Giving a half smile as she teasingly asked him if he thought that she would have left a phone wake him up when he could take care of it herself. No, that wasn't Jess' style, he did have to admit, in general but then the girl was always full of surprises. "One never knows with you," he answered as she moved again to push the covers out of the way. His body tensing slightly under her touch as her hands trailed down his stomach and grabbed onto his boxers so that she could pull them off before continuing moving her lips lower down his body. Not that he exactly needed any anticipation to help his current state, considering that it was the morning and he was not exempt to the workings of the male body. Especially not now that he had his super hot girlfriend sitting on top of him, naked, as the first sight he saw this morning.

Jess hadn't expected a Disney World vacation to be a relaxing one, there was no doubt there, but at the same time, she couldn't deny that she hadn't expected it to be quite so crazy busy with activities and as physically demanding as it was. For the most part, she didn't mind that much - she was in good shape, so the constant walking and standing didn't bother her too much, but there were admittedly times when she was very thankful to be sitting down. She did at least have the advantage of being used to extreme heat, and although much of Australia was desert land and so very dry heat, she lived by the coast, which made the weather back home more on the hot humid side, same as it currently was in Florida. Even being used to it though, didn't mean she was careless about it - she took care to keep herself well hydrated all through the day, and she used plenty of sunscreen as well. Definitely thankful for the spray on kind, seeing as her skin was the type to burn easily, and as such she couldn't just put it on in the morning and call it good for the rest of the day.

She knew Porter hadn't been doing quite as good with the heat though, and that was something else she'd figured he'd appreciate this morning - a bit more time spent not only sleeping in bed, but also in the air conditioning. Not that there was necessarily a great lack of places around the parks where you could get refreshed - there were definitely plenty of stores, which was both brilliant and sneaky from Disney's part, and even a trip to the bathroom brought people a bit more joy at Disney than anywhere else, seeing as those also tended to be air conditioned. Thankfully, the heat wasn't something they had to be worrying about just yet - as it was, she was pretty sure Porter's mind wasn't even onto the fact that they had plans later today at this point. "Well, I'm sure you wouldn't like me as much if I was more predictable," she taunted him a bit as she kept kissing down his stomach, her lips brushing against his skin as she spoke. Allowing her fingers to brush at him lightly until she moved further down to where she could position herself comfortably, not in a mindset to waste any time as she ran her tongue along him before taking him in her mouth.

Had things been Porter's choice of a spring break vacation, his days probably would have started more frequently in the current fashion and less often in a wake up call going off and being annoying. He'd picked it up once after accidentally being closer to the phone one night and that was the last time that it had happened. Never before had he hated Stitch so much. A Disney vacation, he was finding, meant that it was going to be long and full days spent walking around in the god forsaken Florida heat. Relaxing, seemed to be out of the equation, with the exception of the day prior where they'd actually gotten to spend some time in the pool for part of the day before heading out for their chosen activity of the day - which had been shopping and Disney Quest. The former he'd enjoyed a lot, but who wouldn't enjoy an impressive five story indoor arcade? Okay, Jade hadn't been interested, but that was her loss. He was all for anything that allowed them to do anything and still be in the air conditioning. Not to mention that everything inside had been pretty interesting.

Plus, the shopping part of the evening hadn't been that great either in his opinion. Although the bowling portion of things had been fun enough, he supposed although it was pretty much just regular bowling. Still, no matter how much fun he might have had on any other day, it was nothing compared to being woken up like this. A smile playing at his lips as she taunted him by saying that she wouldn't like her as much if she were more predictable. "Probably true," he replied, his voice a bit lower as her lips brushed against his skin while she was talking. Groaning a little as she moved her fingers to brush against him. Predictable, she was not, but he wouldn't be complaining about that anytime soon when it resulted in situations like this. A low growl getting stuck in his throat once she'd ran her tongue along him, swearing as she went ahead and took him in her mouth. His fingers momentarily gripping tighter to her hair without thinking about it before he loosened his grip, not wanting to seem like he was trying to control her in any way.

Jessica liked knowing she could surprise people with her actions. Granted, getting down to business with her boyfriend on the one day they had alone time in their two bedroom villa wasn't exactly a shocker, it'd be like saying Amanda and Jade didn't have sex the day before when they'd left the pool early to go get ready and shower (and totally have sex). So, in the grand scheme of thing, it wasn't exactly the most surprising thing she'd ever done, but still, Porter had seemed fairly taken aback at the fact that this was the way she had chosen to wake him up, and that was good enough for her. Besides, although she wouldn't consider herself an expect at this whole oral sex thing just yet, she was pretty sure she'd improved some since the first time she'd gone down on her boyfriend, and considering the fact that he'd appeared satisfied with her actions back then, she was pretty confident he wouldn't find anything to complain about today either. Not that he ever complained about anything that was related to physical activities, of course - he was smarter than that.

As it was, Porter had definitely been patient and respectful all through the earlier stages of their relationship. She'd never felt any kind of pressure or pushing coming from him, because he'd been okay with waiting for her to get to the same level. Or well, maybe not exactly okay, she was sure he'd missed some of the physical stuff she hadn't been ready for at first, but he'd been understanding and that had definitely been one of the factors for her to just fall for him even harder. Porter wasn't very expressive at all, and he'd been involved in his share of flings, but that definitely didn't mean he wasn't a great boyfriend as far as she was concerned. She didn't feel a lack of anything when she was with him, she didn't need big, romantic demonstrations of love. She didn't even need him to speak out the words, because as much as he wasn't ready to say it - and it was only fair that she should wait for him when he'd been willing to wait for her - she could still see and feel it at times. She didn't ask for anything more - though right now, alone time was definitely high on her list of priorities, with all the group activities and running around they'd been doing. Which was why she'd planned on making sure it would start off as enjoyable as possible, shivering slightly from the sounds Porter let out and the feel of his fingers in her hair, not really in a patient enough mood to start things out slow, starting off at a pretty decent pace.

It would be a downright lie for Porter to say that he hadn't been hoping that he and Jessica would use the time that they had together alone in a more interesting fashion. He might have even been hopeful for a wake up call on the more physical side but even then that didn't mean he'd expected things to go the way that they had. After all, there had been times when he'd pretty much been waken up and they'd gotten on track to having sex pretty much right away - which, he was pretty sure usually had to do with some dreams that he wouldn't mind having a play by play of. Either way, anything that allowed him to start off the day where an orgasm was one of the first things he felt in the morning was considered a great way to do things in his book - or anyone's book, for that matter. The only downside to this was that it wasn't likely to happen again while they were here, but he could definitely get over it and that was a worry for later on anyway because currently there was no reason for him to be making any sort of complaint.

Which applied to his relationship in general with Jessica. Some people didn't seem to understand how things worked between the two of them and to an extent he got why they would think that things couldn't work out, given that their personalities were vastly different and they didn't seem to have that much in common. However, for one thing, they had more in common than people thought in terms of shared interests. For another, their differences were what allowed them to work because they never attempted to push the other into being more similar. He never tried to get Jessica to stop being excitable - sometimes he tried to get her to calm down a little, but he usually realized it was a lost cause. Likewise, she only pushed him slightly to have 'more fun' or to show it better. They respected each other's boundaries and that was what really mattered. Of course, it also helped that they happened to have some damn amazing physical chemistry. Groaning at the way that she started things out, causing the tension to start building steadily in his lower stomach.

Although Jess was starting to get more and more experience at stuff like this, there was definitely some anticipation building in the pit of her stomach as she tried to get her boyfriend off. Not because she was concerned or nervous about doing a good job - although she never took it for granted, she was still pretty confident by now that she was able to give Porter a pretty decent amount of pleasure whenever she went down on him. No, it all came from the feeling that this time was different, because if once she was done, he decided to return the favor, she would have no intention of stopping him. So far, she'd always drawn a line at the idea of him giving her oral. She had no issue with giving it to him, but it just felt so intimate to have him be this close to her that she just hadn't been ready for it, hadn't felt comfortable with the idea of it really. And it wasn't self consciousness - she didn't think she looked any worse down there than any other girl, it was pretty standard as far as she was concerned, and she'd just showered to boot. It just had something to do with the kind of step it meant taking.

By now though, she was definitely ready for that step. She was in love with him, she was aware of the fact that he had certain feelings for her, they'd actually had sex by now, so that was really the last barrier - at least of those she considered taking down, because some were just gonna be staying up for pretty much ever - in their physical relationship. And if she took it from her friends, oral sex was definitely on the list of very enjoyable activities to be on the receiving end of, which she'd figured it would be anyway, so she couldn't deny that at this point she felt pretty excited and anxious to possibly try it out. She kept that thought out of her mind for the time being though, not wanting to be thinking of anything that would be happening to her once she was done giving Porter attention, but instead just putting all of her focus on him. Trying her best to do things in a way she knew he generally enjoyed and not waiting too much time before she picked up the pace, her hand moving along him in sync with her mouth as she swirled her tongue around him.

[Porter Clarke]

There were times when Porter honestly almost forgot that Jessica didn't have any experience before him when it came to physical things because it'd been pretty apparent from the first time that they'd done anything together that she wasn't lacking in natural skill. Yet, despite that, she'd definitely also improved that skill in the time since they'd first done things. Then again, it was possible that he'd always given her a bit more credit than he would have anyone else just because they did happen to have a better physical chemistry than anything that he could remember sharing with any other girl that he'd been involved with, or probably. He hadn't exactly spent that much time comparing things to how they'd been with Cate as every memory he had with her was tainted by the bitterness of everything that had happened afterward. He supposed, in some respects however, that did mean something. The fact that he'd never look back on anything that happened with Jessica in the same way that he had to with every memory he had with Cate.

Jess, after all, was much more trustworthy than that and she could hardly keep quiet about things that would be too important like that she was seeing someone else. He trusted her and it wasn't a decision that he foresaw himself regretting. Hopefully he was right about it too. Thus far she'd given him no reason to doubt anything she'd told him when they started things and he didn't see that changing anytime soon. Especially not now when everything was going so well between them. Well and especially now when ending things with her was certainly the furthest thing from his mind. Instead, much more focused on the pleasure that she was giving him as the tension in his lower stomach built higher and higher. Not taking too much longer before it got to the point where he knew that he was close and had to speak up. Not because he doubted Jess' preferences, but because he always gave her some warning ahead of time just to make sure she wasn't taken by surprise or anything. "Jess," he spoke warningly, his voice a bit lower and rougher, knowing that she'd get the point.

Honestly, there was no doubt in Jessica's mind that she and Porter had it right about the best way to start off this day. Sure, they could be walking through an amusement park right now, eating delicious food and riding thrill rides, but really, that wouldn't have been any more fun than what she was doing at this very moment, and what she was hoping might happen next. Besides, it wasn't like they'd stay in this room all day - once they were done catching up on all the physical activities they'd missed out on since arriving in Orlando, they would head off to Hollywood Studios and try their best to ride Rock n' Roller Coaster in alternance with Tower of Terror as many times as humanly possible throughout the course of the day. Maybe they'd try to fit in a few rides on Star Tours as well, but if she was honest, she would much prefer just going on and off the other two rides for the greater majority of the day. And then possibly try and see what the line for Toy Story Midway Mania was like during the showing of Fantasmic, if Porter didn't want to see it again, because that seemed like the best time to do it.

All those things could wait, though - the day was young, and the week wasn't over yet. Sure, some people may say they'd have plenty of time to go at it once they got back to the Academy, too, but that was beside the point. It wasn't like spending a bit of time in bed with her boyfriend during one Disney day would ruin the magic of the trip - as it was, she was pretty sure it'd only make her think back on the whole experience with an even more favorable outlook. After all, it couldn't be denied that those kind of activities with her boyfriend just so happened to be some of her favorite, and although she'd been having a great time so far and they had managed to fit in some brief alone time at some point, she'd just missed being able to fully enjoy the closeness to the film maker without having to worry about sleep or other people. Which was probably one of the contributing factor as to her enthusiasm as she kept moving, shivers running up and down her spine in a slow fashion as she heard the sound of his voice once he spoke her name as a warning, merely increasing the pace in response.

[Porter Clarke]

This morning would definitely count as one of Porter's favorites in the trip. True, it wasn't that different than any other morning could be in terms that they could have spent a morning like this at school, but alone time with his girlfriend was always an enjoyable way to spend time. Plus, once they did manage to leave the room, they would still spend a good majority of the day in a theme park. Though, to be honest, he would have been fine if they'd spent the majority of the day in room and then spent the evening or something in Hollywood Studios. However, he figured that it was better to just take what he could get and then enjoy their time that would likely to be split between the two best rides at the park. Besides, considering that he'd heard Melanie and Olivier had plans to go to Animal Kingdom and there wasn't really that much to do there, he was pretty sure they were likely counting on being able to come back mid day and find the villa empty of other couples and he didn't particularly want to know anything about their sex life.

It was all for the best, he supposed, given that if it was just up to him he'd probably spend more time than what was strictly necessary in bed with Jess and while she never seemed to have anything to say against the idea of spending time getting physical, she'd probably appreciate spending their limited time in Disney World doing more things in Disney World that they wouldn't be able to do anywhere else. They could catch up on the lack of physical intimacy over the week later on. He didn't think that she'd say anything against the idea once they were back at school and did happen to have a bit more privacy. The tension shooting up higher as she simply increased the pace of her actions after he'd given her a warning and only a few minutes later finding himself letting go as he groaned out her name and a swear. Waiting for her to move some and then not wasting any time in switching things around, rolling them over so that he was on top of her. Pressing his lips against her own in a deep kiss and allowing his hands to run along her bare body.

Honestly, there were few things in life that turned Jessica on more than getting Porter off, especially in the way that she was currently doing it. There was nothing quite as hot as knowing the kind of effect she could have on him, feeling his body tense from her actions and listening to the sounds he let out. She liked knowing that she could give him that kind of pleasure, and although she couldn't imagine that she was the only one to have ever done so, nor did she even fancy herself the best he'd ever experienced, the point of the matter was that right now, she was the one who was able to do this to him, and nobody else. She didn't know why people associated the idea of a blowjob with being submissive, to be quite honest, because as far as she was concerned, it was really one of the most empowering feelings she could get. She was the one in charge, she controlled ever single bit of pleasure Porter got from this, and it was really up to her how much or how little she wanted to give him. Granted, she didn't deny him very often, and even when she did take to teasing and taunting she couldn't make it last too long, but it was still in her power.

And although she was able to keep her whole focus on her boyfriend as she went ahead and worked on getting him off, there was no denying that she was pretty eager to have him touch her already. That really was the only downside, as far as she was concerned, to this whole oral sex thing - it was more of a one person at a time type thing. Sure, there were ways to remedy to that, but somehow she wasn't that interested in them for one thing, and for another, although it was a downside, she didn't know how well she would be able to concentrate if he was getting her off while she tried to do the same to him. All in all, maybe this was just the best way to go about things. A slight shock coursing through her body as he finally let go, the sound of his voice as he spoke her name making her shiver, and she made sure to finish off properly before pulling herself away from him. A slight gasp and giggle escaping her lips as he went ahead and switched them around, softly moaning as he pressed his lips to hers in a deep fashion, her body alert as his hands started running along it. "I'm really not in a waiting mood, Porter," she mumbled slight against his lips, trying to push herself a bit closer to him - though then again, patience was never exactly her strongest point.

[Porter Clarke]

While there was no denying that oral was definitely a very, very good way to receive pleasure and there was something inherently hot about it that he didn't think he could put into words even if he tried. Still, his least favorite part about it probably had to be that in nature it didn't really allow him to do so much with Jessica - which actually wasn't something that he'd minded all that much before her, figuring that it was always possible to even things out later. With Jess though, he liked giving her pleasure while he was getting it as well, it made things better for him. At least though, he knew he didn't have to worry about her only doing anything that she didn't want to do because she'd made it fairly clear that she enjoyed getting him off and she wasn't the type to do anything that she didn't want to do anyway. Clearly, as this morning she was the one who had started everything and made the decisions as to how she'd wanted it to go as she could have just as easily lead things so that they'd end up in regular sex.

Which, he would definitely be leading things that way once he was finished with her - so long as she made no objections to the idea - but for now he was more focused on trying to get to the point where he'd give her just as much pleasure as she'd given him. The soft moan she let out as he pushed his lips against hers letting him know before she even spoke up that she was ready to get things started. Pulling away from the kiss and starting to trail open mouthed kisses down along her neck after she'd told him that she wasn't in the mood for waiting. "When are you ever?" he questioned against her skin before sucking lightly at weaker spot, his fingers trailing up her thighs as he continued on. Pressing kisses along her collarbone and down to her chest, taking the time to give thorough attention to her sensitive skin as he let his fingers press against her. Deciding that he'd try for more though and moving his lips further down to her stomach, trying to see if she was going to put up any sort of resistance like she usually did.

So, it was pretty fair to say that patience really wasn't Jessica's strongest point to start with, even in her every day life. When it came to having sex with Porter though, it was even less so, and she really couldn't help it. As it was, there were hardly even times when she would let him tease her or taunt her all that much, because she just couldn't take it. There was such a strong need in her for him and for his touch that anything that kept it away from her was like torture, and she wasn't one to not voice out her opinion when she wasn't happy with something. Not to mention, if she'd just been nice enough to get him off in a very enjoyable fashion - or well, at least that's what it appeared like to her and she doubted he was faking it - then it'd just be plain rude to not just go right ahead and return the favor, and she didn't hold back from pointing out those kind of things to him. Not that he even did so very often, unless he was the one starting things out and as such she couldn't guilt him into getting right down to business, because she hadn't done anything comparable to him just yet.

Right now was no different - she wasn't in a waiting mood, and she was definitely feeling very needy for him, which honestly she didn't think he would be complaining about. Nonetheless, she thought it good to make it known seeing as he could have taken his sweet time to get to touching her if she hadn't spoken up, and boy would that not have gone over well. Rolling her eyes playfully as she heard his response to her comment, though letting out a soft whimper as he then went on to suck at a weaker spot of her neck, her body pushing itself slightly closer to him as her fingers gripped at his shoulders lightly. Shivers coursing through her as he moved on and kept on pressing kisses against her skin, on her collarbone and down to her chest, moaning from both his mouth's attention on her breasts and his fingers pressing against her needy skin. Sucking in a deep breath though as she realized he was actually going for it once he moved his lips to trail down her stomach, her body tensing up ever so slightly in anticipation as she tries to brush off the edge of nervousness she felt. Being nervous wasn't something she was accustomed to, and she wasn't gonna start today.
