"Boys, boys, boys" I cooed into the microphone not yet stepping onto the stage as everyone began to wonder who was talking. "Just relax" I laughed before 'Sierra, Hotel, Indigo, Echo, Lima, Delta. SHIELD' broke through the speakers and I stepped onto the stage with a smirk highlighting my dimple on my left side. The fans went insane as I walked down the ramp and up the steps two boys moving as one to open the ropes, Seth being the closest but that didn't stop Roman from holding out a hand to steady me. Dean, watching closely as I walked across the ring, the blonde pulling a stool forward for me to take a seat in. "Now boys, I KNOW you didn't forget about little ole me?" I teased "I mean how could you forget about the woman who owns you" my voice darkened as I stood and kicked the chair to the ground Seth and Roman both taking a step back where as Dean stepped forward. "That's right boys, just because The Shield is over doesn't mean anything has changed. I still own all three of your contracts." I paused turning to glare vehemently at Seth "I still control you, so Sethy, oh baby boy you have A LOT of explaining to do but for the time being just keep it in mind that you make one move that I don't like, there will be repercussions" I threatened shoving between Seth and Dean to leave the ring, the fans still cheering for me as I pushed through the curtains. "That was fantastic" Stephanie grinned hugging me tightly before I continued past her knowing my boys would be looking for me now that I had come back. Heading to catering I grabbed a water and sat in the corner my legs crossed as I waited, patiently waited to see what hell would be unleashed after nearly two years away. "Where the fuck is she" a deep voice that could only be Roman's called. It wasn't husky enough to be Dean's and it was too deep to be Seth which only left the powerhouse Samoan. "Catering" a techie squeaked before all three men walked in, all livid and angry. "What the fuck were you thinking?" Seth asked all three of them standing before me with their arms crossed over their chests. "I was thinking that the three people I THOUGHT gave a shit, moved on without a single thought about me." I paused standing up, my lip quivering as I looked between the three of them. "Not one of you showed up, called or texted after my surgery. I tried countless times and only got voicemails or no replies. If I can't have my boys back in real life, you can damn well guarantee I'll have them back on screen" I mumbled before walking away not looking back as Renee Young, Dean's new girlfriend, Paige, Seth's new girlfriend and Lena, Roman's new girlfriend walked over and started questioning them. I needed to get ready to meet Hunter at the gym so we could work on knocking off the ring rust and getting me comfortable with wrestling again.
I walked into the gym of the hotel and over to Hunter giving him a tight hug before we got started. "Are you still nervous about getting back in the ring?" he asked softly as we started off with some basic boxing skills. "Yeah, weren't you after your surgery?" I sighed "Don't get me wrong, it's not the basic stuff that scares me. It's everything else I did" I smirked still working on my boxing skills. "Yeah, you did do a lot of crazy shit, but it's stuff that you need to do to see if you're comfortable with it" he shrugged setting the pads down and gesturing towards the ring "Come on, let's give it a try" he smiled holding the ropes open for me as we both entered the ring, unaware that we had been joined in the gym by Dean and Seth. "Try your moonsault" he whispered "Hunt I don't think" I tried to say but he cut me off "Karina stop, I have worked with you for over 5 years and I have NEVER heard you say you don't think you can do something." He growled "Don't start now" he whispered getting into position so he could catch me as I slowly climbed to the top rope and jumped landing in his arms with a dull thud. "See was that so bad?" he asked setting me on my feet as a smile broke across my face "Not at all" I grinned hugging him tightly "Let's try the aerial tornado twist" he prodded motioning to the ropes, this one I was terrified about since I had to be able to keep my balance on the middle of the ropes long enough to jump and not screw it up. Taking a deep breath I carefully got onto the top rope and looked at Hunter who was ready to catch me, nodding once I jumped and completed the move my eyes squeezed shut in fear. "Hey, you did it" Hunter whispered as I was set on my feet a weight lifting from my shoulders as I slumped to the mat "I'll let you relax, I'll see you tomorrow" he smiled rubbing my head before he rolled from the ring leaving me to think as everything came crashing down and the tears started to fall, my head in my hands. I took deep breathes to calm myself down before standing up and turning to leave jumping in shock when I saw Dean and Seth blocking the door. Wiping my face I glared at them as I exited the ring and grabbed my phone and water bottle noticing a text from Roman on the screen. Ignoring it for the time being I tried pushing past the Twin Terrors, only to be pushed back "Move." I demanded crossing my arms over my chest not missing the way they both glanced down and smirked before looking me in the eyes.
"Can we talk Karina?" Seth asked, using his sweet voice and puppy dog eyes to try and get me to break "Now you want to talk? Really? It's a little late for that." I snarled glaring vehemently at both of them "Look we were stupid can we" Dean started but I cut him off, his husky voice and the way he was looking at me was too much for me to handle "No Dean. We can't do shit." I spat "I didn't even get a 'hey, hope you're okay I think we should take a break since you'll be gone so long.' I got a text message from Nat about how all three of you had new chicks on your arm within the week Dean. How do you think that felt huh?" I asked rhetorically forgetting about Seth for the time being "I never would have thought that YOU of all three of you would have been the one to go behind my back like that. After everything we've been through together, you were the one that I depended on the most. Seth and Roman were the ones I went to if I couldn't go to you but all three of you abandoned me" I paused taking a deep breath as my bottom lip started to quiver "The men who said they'd never leave and they'd always support me abandoned me when I needed them the most" I shrugged pushing through their shoulders and out of the gym waiting until I was alone in the elevator to check my phone. *Hey baby girl, I know you probably want nothing to do with me. I wouldn't either, but if you feel up to talking at all my room number is 408. I don't really expect you to show up after everything, so I just want to tell you that I'm so sorry I never checked in or stopped by. I'm sorry I never told you about Lena and I and I'm sorry that I hurt you as deeply as I did. I do want you to realize I still love you so much Baby Girl. Forever.-Superman* Sighing heavily I locked the message before locking my phone and entering my hotel room, a shower sounded amazing at this point. So digging out a pair of yoga shorts, a sports bra and a cropped shirt I walked into the bathroom and did just that, Roman's message on the forefront of my mind the entire time. Drying off and getting dressed happened in a trance until I was staring down at the message weighing my options. The least I could do is hear him out since he gave me the option of coming to talk instead of cornering me like Seth and Dean had, shaking my head I slipped a pair of socks on my feet before grabbing my room key and leaving the hotel room.
His room was only 5 down from mine so it didn't take me long to reach his room and knock on the door. I patiently waited a couple minutes and tried knocking several times before I turned to leave freezing as the door opened behind me "Baby Girl...I didn't think you'd come...I was in the shower, do you want to come in?" The usually calm male rambled slightly stepping back so I could slip between his body and the doorjamb to enter the room. The first thing I noticed was bright pink suitcases packed by the door and Lena carrying the last one out of one of the bedrooms. "Before I leave I just want to tell you I'm so sorry...if I would have known..." she faded off looking slightly awkward as I looked between her and Roman, the latter not willing to look me in the eyes as she spoke. "I didn't know I was getting between a relationship we were never serious. Just something to pass time" she sighed "So I'm sorry." She repeated before she picked up her bags and left, the door clicking shut seconds after her departure. "I was hoping she would have been gone before you got here" the older man whispered softly from close behind me. I could feel the heat of his body and the water droplets sliding down the tan skin he was so close, my heartbeat increased almost immediately knowing he was right behind me in just a towel. "I would give anything to strip you and take you but I know we should talk." He whispered, his fingertips brushing against my bare back before he passed and entered the second bedroom, appearing a few moments later in sweats with his hair in a bun. "Sit?" He asked sweetly gesturing to the large couch in the middle of the room, with a deep breathe I sat down, flinching slightly when he sat as close as possible to me, our limbs brushing whenever one of us moved. "Go ahead" he whispered turning his body so one leg was on the couch and he was facing me, one of my eyebrows arching in confusion. "Yell at me, hit me, scream whatever will help you feel better" he prodded making me smile slightly. "You're an idiot" I shrugged rolling my eyes "I'm not going to yell, scream or hit you Superman." I sighed reaching over to lace our fingers together "I'm hurt Ro...but you're making an effort. You're giving me the option of talking, leaving whatever I want to do which shows that you obviously still care and don't want to pressure me." I paused moving so I was straddling his hips "Baby Girl, what are you doing?" he asked softly, his voice a little huskier than when he talked before as his large hands settled on my hips squeezing slightly. "I doubt we'll be the same as when I left" I paused pressing a finger to his lips when he tried to interrupt "But I still love you Superman, that hasn't changed." I whispered scooting closer until my heat was above his member, our bottoms the only separation. "Remind me how much you love me Roman" I prodded ducking my head to press our lips together before he took over.
"You slept with Roman last night?" a husky and pissed voice greeted as I walked out of my hotel room, my bags on my shoulder since I had to get to the airport. "Good morning to you to Seth." I sighed rolling my eyes at the man who was in front of me in skinny jeans, vans and his arms crossed over a Sleep When I'm Dead t-shirt. I couldn't take my eyes off of his biceps as they flexed every time he moved his hands, I also noticed that his now completely black hair was in a low bun with a beanie on top. "Seriously?" he asked, an eyebrow arched, "I'm pissed at you and all you're doing is checking me out?" he continued making me blush slightly "Sorry?" I shrugged moving past him, sighing inwardly as he followed. "You wouldn't give Dean or I the time of day but you jumped right into the sack with Roman? Of all of us you picked Roman?" he sassed walking beside me as we exited the hotel "I didn't jump right in the sack with Roman, he gave me the choice to talk, leave or take out my anger on him. He didn't corner me in the gym. He apologized and Lena even apologized and left. He was single, and he apologized, so I told him we'd give it a try." I paused loading my bags into the back of the taxi. "Sleeping with him was MY choice after we talked and I decided I wanted to try to get back what was lost." I finished turning to face the man head on "And I didn't 'pick' Roman, I still love all three of you the same, he's just the first one to do something about it" I added before I climbed into the taxi and headed for the airport, getting there just in time to board my flight to the next town. As soon as I got there I headed to the arena to get ready for the show. I wasn't planning on doing anything tonight but with a return like mine you never know what's going to happen so I got all dolled up anyway, just for Seth to barge into my locker room. "I get that you're one of the top three and all but you don't own the god damn place" I snapped turning to glare at him only to fall back against the vanity with a breathless 'oh'. He was in the same jeans as before with his hair the same and beanie on but he had lost his shirt somewhere and boy was it a distracting sight. "You said Roman gave you the choice to talk or leave. I am too." He muttered bracing his hands on either side of me and ducking until our eyes locked "You can talk, I can talk or you can slap me and scream at me to get out and leave you alone. It's your choice Karina but I can't fucking not try" he murmured, his voice never raising as he gave me the same option as Roman just not as nicely.
"Sethy I" I paused trying to get my head on straight "I love you..." I whispered with a shrug as a tear slipped down my cheek. "Please don't cry Cupcake...I hate seeing you cry especially when I'm the reason" he whined brushing the next few tears away with his thumb. "I'm sorry...It's just been an emotional rollercoaster lately" I shrugged trying to calm myself down before our lips brushed and the same sparks as before flashed through my body. "I love you too Cupcake." He whispered before pressing our lips together harder than the first time, a whimper leaving my throat as he lifted me onto the vanity and deepened the kiss. "Hey Karina have you seen" Roman's voice asked as the door opened and he let out a laugh "Seriously Roman. King of bad fucking timing" Seth whined pulling away so we could look at the smiling Samoan. "Sorry man, I just wanted to let you know that we're second to last tonight" he smirked winking at me as I hid my blushing face in Seth's chest. "Thank you, now since you got to make up last night can I get back to my turn now?" the younger of the two asked with a pout as the larger man walked over and nipped at his lips "Only if I can watch" he shrugged smirking down at the blush on Seth's face as I whimpered quietly with need. "Deal" I cut in nodding excitedly as the older took a seat on a steel chair and Seth returned his attention to me. "you know we love you right and that we would do anything for you?" Seth asked sweetly "Of course Sethy, and I love you both." I smiled knowing our future wasn't going to be smooth as we worked past our issues and dealt with Paige but he is worth it, both him and Roman are. "Good, now shut up and kiss me" he smirked tangling his hand in my hair and showing me just what cross fit had been doing for him. "I'll see you both later" I smiled kissing them both briefly before turning to the mirror to fix up my appearance, having to cover up a few small hickeys left by both of them. "I thought you didn't like hickeys" Dean's voice chimed in less than a minute after the other two had walked out. "I've never said that" I shrugged jumping when the door slammed shut and locked behind him. "You always told me no biting." He pointed out making me smirk at the jealously that was clear in his voice. "Awe, Puppy are you jealous of Seth and Roman" I teased setting my makeup down and turning to face him grinning at the look on his face. "What if I am?" he asked crossing his arms over his chest, his fingers tapping at his collarbone like they always did when he was nervous. "Don't be." I sighed done with teasing him when he was obviously in a sensitive mindset. I pulled his arms from over his chest and wrapped them around me, hugging him close before I continued. "I missed you De" I whispered hiding my face in his neck as the tears started to fall heavily. "I miss you Darlin. So much" he returned burying his face in my hair. "I have to go out to the ring soon, but tonight you're all mine." He vowed "Promise?" I smiled slightly letting him see my face and wipe away my tears "Can I bite?" he asked one of his hands resting on my cheek, I rolled my eyes and nodded giggling when a smile broke across his face "Then I promise. I'll come get you when I'm done." He whispered leaning down and finally touching our lips together, I was the one to deepen the kiss this time. I wouldn't ever say it out loud but if I had to choose between the three I would choose Dean. "Good luck" I called as he walked out the door, both of us smiling widely for the first time in a long time.
