Virulence
~Sequel to Solace~
Chapter 1
"Glad you made it safely."
"I told you I would. I miss you."
A smirk curved his lips at her sweet confession. "It's only been a couple hours, darlin'."
"And?"
His deep chuckle resonated through the phone and sent shivers down her spine. "Fine, how much do you miss me?"
"Dumb question, babe."
"You gonna answer me or not?"
She chewed her bottom lip. "What if I don't want to?"
"Then you won't get your reward."
Now she was curious and quirked a brow, wondering what her boyfriend had in mind as far as a 'reward' went. "Do I really have to say it?"
"Yes."
She groaned, knowing she couldn't deny him anything and glanced out the window of her hotel room. "I always miss you, if it's not obvious." Another sweet confession. "Now what's my reward, ass?"
"Open the door and find out."
The line went dead and all she could do was turn around to stare at the door, swallowing hard. What did he send her in such a short amount of time? She'd only left the Smackdown! taping a few hours ago and hadn't ordered dinner yet. Truth be told, she wasn't hungry due to not only slight jetlag, but missing her boyfriend like crazy. Sleep would evade her until she was back in the safety and security of his arms again, which wouldn't be until Friday morning when she rejoined him along with everyone else on the road. She took a deep breath and walked toward the door, placing her hand on the door handle hesitating to open it. What if this was a trick? Then she heard a voice on the other side and there was no question in her mind who it was, making her instantly rip open the door.
"You really know how to ruin a surprise, woman."
Penetrating pale blues locked with watery midnight. "Jon…" He was really here in the flesh and Anisa let him draw her into his strong arms, his mouth instantly finding hers. "What are you doing here?" She asked once the kiss broke, reaching up to wipe some gloss from his lips.
"They didn't need me for the taping tonight, so I decided to join you for my days off this week." Backing Anisa into the room, Jon kicked the door shut and captured her mouth again, loving how she melted against him. "Unless you want me to go back to Vegas…?"
Anisa smacked his chest and playfully scowled, shaking her head. "Of course I don't! It's bad enough we hardly get time alone together anymore because of my new job. I couldn't be happier you're here with me."
"Ouch darlin', violent much?" Jon grinned, sliding his hands down her back until he came in contact with her perfect backside, lifting Anisa up to where her legs had to wrap around his waist. "Mmm you know I like it rough, Ani."
She shivered again when his nose and mouth buried in the side of her neck, the slight scruff outlining his jaw and part of his cheeks scratching her skin. It was a welcoming sensation and Anisa refused to pull away from the much needed attention. Jon carried her to the bed and sat down with her straddled on his lap, slowly pulling down both straps of her light pink camisole to brush his lips against the soft flesh of her shoulders. They barely had time to have quickies these days ever since Anisa decided to change her career direction in the company, not that Jon blamed her. It got her away from Rick the Dick, his personal nickname for the man, but at the same time cut into their time together. Jon wanted to beat the hell out of Rick for all the problems he caused Anisa because it made her go to Stephanie and Paul begging them for a new job in the WWE. Thus putting a kink in their new budding relationship.
Transitioning into her new job wasn't as easy as Anisa originally thought or hoped. It was the best move for her career with the WWE though. After Coralie's untimely death and WrestleMania season, Anisa took a step back to reevaluate her life and position in the company. Stephanie and Paul weren't surprised by her request and had the perfect opportunity for her – one Anisa had a hard time accepting. Their NXT division down in Tampa needed a new Talent Relations Manager and they thought she fit the build perfectly. Anisa immediately went to Mia, Krystal and Ryanne, asking for their opinion on if she should take the job. The bosses were kind enough to give her a full 24 hours to make her decision. Mia and Krystal were against the idea because of how new her relationship with Jon was, but Ryanne pointed out absence made the heart grow fonder. They would cherish their times together a lot more the more they were apart. That's how it worked for her and Randy whenever he left her at home while he went on the road to provide for their family.
In the end, Anisa took the position and it'd been 2 months since that happened, 3 since Coralie's death. It was now the beginning of July and surprisingly Anisa and Jon were still going strong. They spent as much time as they could while on the road with the WWE, but Anisa had a lot of meetings via Skype with Bill Demotte, one of the lead trainers of NXT and William Regal. In the past 2 months, Jon had never once joined Anisa down in Tampa because he enjoyed going back home to Vegas for his days off. This was the first time he took the initiative to come see her and it renewed Anisa's faith in her relationship with Jon. Anisa's days off were Friday, Saturday and Sunday while Jon was forced to compete in house shows with the rest of the Shield and roster. She couldn't help wondering how long Jon would be able to handle their opposite schedules before calling it quits.
Her other reason for taking the job was her ex-husband, Mark Calaway. After WrestleMania, instead of going back to Texas and leaving the company for another year, he stayed on for an additional month. It frustrated Anisa to no end and Mark's excuse for staying on longer was to 'help' the Shield catapult their superstardom in the company since they were rookies. Anisa knew better though. Jon did too along with the rest of their circle of friends. The night Jon faced Mark on Smackdown! one-on-one, Anisa was a nervous wreck watching backstage and chewing her thumbnail. Jon didn't tell her what was going to happen in the match, so when the Shield slammed Mark through the announce table, Anisa squealed out happily and jumped for joy. She knew Mark was leaving the road and going back home finally, but Anisa had already taken the new job, making the moment bittersweet.
"Mmm I forgot to tell you something…" Anisa murmured, burying her fingers in Jon's unruly curls because his mouth against her neck felt wonderful.
"What?" He grunted, nipping her soft flesh and slid his hands beneath the back of her camisole to stroke her back with his long nimble fingers.
"Phil is bringing Melanie on the road with him for a few weeks."
Jon immediately pulled back with a frown. "The last thing I wanna talk about is your brother and his new flame right now, Anisa. Unless the words out of your mouth have to do with what I'm doing to you and making you feel, I don't wanna hear them."
"Sorry."
There was nothing else Anisa could say and let Jon capture her mouth again, her back meeting the bed a few seconds later with him on top of her. Truth be told, Anisa was thrilled to have her brother back in the company. The June pay-per-view Payback in Chicago marked Phil's return. He took time off to relax, get his head on straight and properly mourn Coralie. Not to mention, he started dating Melanie and spent most of his time off in New York City with her. Apparently, things were going so well she decided to move her firm from New York City to the Windy City to be closer to Phil. They hadn't moved in together yet, taking things slow, but Anisa knew it was only a matter of time before that happened. She was happy for her brother and hit it off with Melanie, especially after the woman helped Jon cut ties with Trina Michaels once and for all.
"Fuck…" Jon broke the kiss and rested his forehead against Anisa's, every part of his body tingling from head to toe. "That was a shitty thing for me to say about your brother. I'm sorry, darlin'."
"It's okay, baby. I understand why you got a little heated over it. Sometimes I just let my thoughts run away with me." Anisa wasn't angry at him for being blunt with her. It was one of the qualities she loved most about Jon. "Enough talking. I need you, Jon."
Joe had been right to be spontaneous and surprise Anisa by coming to Tampa to spend time with her while she worked. The same way she did with him. Jon owed his best friend for that simple suggestion. He'd gone to Joe shortly after Anisa took the Talent Relations Manager for NXT, frustrated because he didn't know how to express his feelings about her decision. He didn't like it. Cutting their time together in half or more didn't set well with Jon, but he didn't want to make Anisa feel guilty over her decision. It was a great opportunity, Jon admitted, and he was truly happy for her. However, he couldn't help questioning what that meant for their relationship and if it was one of her top priorities to worry about. After spilling his feelings out to Joe, the man simply clamped his hand on Jon's shoulder and gave him several reasons why Anisa might've taken the job. Mark still being on the road, dealing with Rick the Dick and it was her chance to move up in the company. Realizing how selfish he was being about the situation, Jon decided right then and there he had to be more supportive with Anisa instead of against her.
After settling Jon down, Joe came clean about his issues with Mia. Planning a wedding was a lot more complicated than he ever imagined and it put a strain on their relationship. Granted, it was a small ceremony in his parent's backyard in Pensacola, but on top of planning a wedding, Mia had also became the WWE Diva's champion. Joe couldn't have been prouder of her, but it also took her away from him with more signings and appearances since Mia was now the face of the WWE Divas. The Shield had taken off like a rocket as well, gaining more publicity and quickly shooting up the ranks in the company. So in a way, Joe and Jon were in the same boat, only Joe got to hold his woman every night in his arms while Jon had to be separated from his because of her new position. Jon told Joe to take his own advice and support Mia because it wasn't every day a WWE Diva became champion. Obviously, the bosses had faith and trust in her to represent the Diva's division and that was a huge honor in itself besides carrying the butterfly shaped belt.
Joe was not the only person Jon went to for advice. Colby was next. They weren't as close as Jon and Joe, but still friends nonetheless and Jon trusted him. It was amazing how Colby and Krystal flourished as a couple, only arguing about minor things. Very rarely did their circle of friends see Colby and Krystal at odds, but lately it'd been more frequent. Ever since Colby asked Krystal to move in with him in Tampa and she accepted happily, she avoided actually doing it. He couldn't figure out why. No one could. Colby wanted to get her away from Connecticut instead of constantly having to fly there every other week on their days off. He wanted to push her to make the move, but didn't know how to do it without sounding like a prick. What if he pushed her too far and Krystal called it quits with him? Colby couldn't let that happen. He even told her to take as much time as she needed, but he didn't expect it to surpass 3 months.
What Colby didn't know was Krystal had searched for apartments in Tampa over the past month, wanting to be closer to Colby. However, she wasn't ready to move in with him yet. 3 months was too soon and why she agreed to do it was beyond her. Krystal chalked it up to being swept in the moment, but now she had to find a way to tell him about getting her own place in Tampa. She loved Colby more than anything in the world, but it was a huge step to move in with a man, something Krystal never did before. Moving from her home state was a huge step for Krystal and she had to take this step by step or else she would end up falling flat on her face. Now, she just had to find the courage to tell Colby her decision and hoped he didn't end their relationship over her decision. Both Colby and Krystal were on the same page as far as Jon and Anisa went. They had to support each other, no matter what, because that came with being in a relationship. Now if only they could take their own advice when it came to their own issues.
Breaking out of his deep thoughts, Jon stripped Anisa of her clothing along with his own, settling comfortably between her legs. It'd been nearly 3 weeks since they'd last had sex and Jon couldn't handle using his hand to release anymore. Anisa cried out softly at the first probe of Jon's cock against her soaking sex and nodded, the forest fire within her body spreading quickly. She trembled, feeling Jon lift her up from the bed to hold into her and carefully lowered her sex until he completely impaled her. Again, she cried out at the exhilarating feeling and held onto him for dear life, not waiting to adjust to his massive size either. Sitting back on his haunches, Jon gripped her hips to guide Anisa on and off his cock, both of them groaning at the intense friction. No words had to be spoken, just the sounds of their lovemaking was enough for both to achieve their ultimate goal. Jon lowered his mouth to her swelling breasts, swirling his tongue around the hardened nipples and loved how her body reacted instantaneously to anything he did.
Hours later after countless sessions, Jon and Anisa collapsed on the bed in a sweaty satisfied heap tangled up in each other's arms. He held her close to him, kissing her forehead and stroking her back while Anisa nuzzled his neck, draping her leg over his. Neither needed a blanket or sheet, using each other's warmth from their bodies was enough. Just as the sun rose over the horizon, both passed out from exhaustion with sexually satisfied smiles on their faces.
