This was a typical Monday for Seth Rollins, Morning workout and some interviews and now he was walking in to the arena for Raw. At least he wanted to give the impression that it was nothing but a normal Monday. She was coming back tonight. It had been 6 months since he last saw Ellie Brooks, and the last time he saw her she was walking out of the arena after finding out that her husband, Phil Brooks AKA CM Punk had been messing around with a Diva. She took a 6 month personal leave of absence and Seth still can't get the image out of his head of the last time he saw her, she looked defeated, like all the joy had been sucked out of her- her beautiful smile was nowhere to be found. Seth just watched her leave the arena that night, even though every inch in his body was aching to hold her close and protect her.

Seth walked into the backstage area, trying to keep his cool. He looked around every so often hoping to spot her. Not that he was expecting much; sure they got along when they talked but it wasn't like he meant anything to her. As he was walking her voice and he stopped in this tracks.

"What the hell is wrong with you Rollins? Are you 12?!" He mumbled under his breath.

He watched her talking to Kane from a distance, really hoping no one saw him. His heart was racing; he felt joy, against his will. He knew that Punk was still very possessive of her and It would create drama, drama he didn't need right now that his carrier was just taking off.

"Rollins opens the show, just be on the lookout and when you hear Rollin's music start making your way to the gorilla area" he heard Ellie giving Kane his instructions. Hearing her say his name made his heart skip a beat and he hated himself for it.

"Hi, Seth!" While he was lost in thought Ellie had not only spotted him but was making her way to him. Seth cursed every part of his body that wanted nothing more than to put his arms around her.

"Well, we'll look whose back!" Seth said with a smile and hoping he didn't sound overly excited. Ellie gave him that sweet smile he loved, but the pain was still not fully gone from her eyes.

"I hope you missed me, Mr. Money in the Bank! So bummed I missed that!" Ellie said with a cute pout.

Seth couldn't hide his smiles anymore "It sucked without you." Did he really just say that? Did it come off weird? Shit. He was beating himself up in his mind

"I… I gotta get going I am opening the show I hear" he gave her a little wink and walked into his dressing room.

Seth had finished his segment and was walking around the backstage area when he saw her again, except this time she wasn't alone.

"I want you to leave me alone, Phil. It is hard enough being back as it is. I already spoke to Vince and Paul and it's settled." Ellie was arguing with CM Punk.

Punk Spotted Seth and walked away giving him a suspicious look before leaving.

Ellie looked away from Seth and he could tell she was wiping away tears.

"Everything alright?" he frowned. Stupid question, he told himself.

Ellie let out a sigh. "Yeah, I will be fine" She forced a smile. "You did great out there, you make my job so easy"

Seth Smiled "You know, the boys and I always grab dinner after the show" that was a lie. "If you have nothing going on after this, we can take you out for a welcome back dinner"

Ellie took a second to think about it. "You know what, that sounds great. I will see you guys after the show?"

"See ya then, Els." Seth walked away, praying he could convince the boys to join them for dinner.

After the show ended Seth made his way to the exit door of the arena fully prepared for Ellie to backout on dinner. Not only had he lied about them going to eat dinner after the show but he had completely forgot that Dean and Roman had to fly out that same night for a media appearance early the next morning. Seth waited nervously.

"You're acting like a child Rollins. Get your shit together" he said to himself.

Ellie made her way out of her office and to the exit and saw Seth standing by himself.

"Sorry if I kept you waiting. I had to finalize some reports about tonight's show. Vince wants them at his desk when he gets into his office in the morning" She smiled nervously at him.

He smiled a sweet smile at her.

"No worries, I wasn't here very long…so…it's just us. Hope you doing mind." He led her to his car and helped her in.

The drive to the restaurant was spent talking about the show. Once inside they realized that CM Punk was there with a few friends.

"We can leave if you'd like" Seth looked at Ellie. Not wanting her to be uncomfortable. He had his natural urge to protect her.

"No, it's fine. It's not like we're on a date or anything" she smile. Seth cursed the small sinking feeling he got in his stomach when she said that.

They got their meal and they spent time just casually catching up, he could tell that she was trying her best to ignore her ex sitting just a few tables down.

All of a sudden, CM Punk walks towards their table.

"Well, that didn't take very long did it, sweetheart" Punk smirked at Ellie.

"Phil, what do you want?" Ellie looked nervously at her Ex.

"I was just wondering how long this had been brewing for? How long did you have your eyes on Mr. Rollins?" Punk asked in a dark tone.

"It's not what you think. What is wrong with you?" Ellie was visibly nervous and uncomfortable. Seth felt his blood boiling. He had hurt her enough.

Instinctively, Seth got to his feet and started walking towards CM Punk

"Listen, Punk. I think it's best that you go on your way alright?"

Punk loved a good challenge.

"Or what?" he asked with a sly smile on his face

"Or I –" Ellie stood up and put her hands on Seth's arms which Stopped Seth on his tracks. "Seth, it's not worth it. He's not worth it. Let's just get out of here"

Seth without much thought grabbed Ellie's hand and let her out of there to the car. To his relieve she didn't pull her hand away.

Once at the hotel Seth walked Ellie to her room.

"Thank you for the invite tonight, I was having a great time…Sorry that Phil had to ruin it" Ellie looked down.

Seth put his hand on her chin and lifted her face, smiling at her

"I had a great time too…he didn't ruin it…nothing could have ruined it." Seth took a deep breath. He knew it was gamble putting his cards on the table so early in the game.

Ellie looked a bit shocked at his boldness

"I should really get to bed…I have an early flight tomorrow…see you next week" she smiled and closed the door.

The whole week she was all Seth could think about. He had sent her a few texts here and there and her replies always made his day. When Monday came he was more than ready.

He walked into the arena and spotted her right away.

"Hey gorgeous!" He smiled. He figured he'd try the bold act again.

She giggled the cutest giggle he had ever heard.

"Hi Seth. Wish I could stick around to chat but I am actually on my way to meet with Paul." She rushed away leaving him enjoying the view.

He went into the dressing room and figured he would just catch up with her later.

Mid way through the show he made his way to the gorilla a bit early hoping to get a chance to invite Ellie out after the show again. She was talking to Punk.

"Paul gave me the green light to move permanently to corporate. I won't be on the road for much longer. I just need you to leave me along until then, Phil" Ellie Was almost begging him.

Seth felt his stomach drop. He knew getting away from Punk was the best thing for her but getting away from Punk meant she was getting away from him as well.

He felt like he was punched in the stomach and missed the rest of their conversation he only snapped back when Phil stormed past him.

He walked up to her, trying to play it cool but still not able to shake off the disappointment.

"Did I hear right? You are turning full corporate on us?" Seth said, trying to lighten the mood.

She tried to smile "Yeah, Vince wants me in the office full time…I had requested to get off the road when all that happened with Phil"

He wanted to find the right words to say to get her to stay. He wanted her to be there every week; he wanted her to be there for him like she was there for him.

His MUSIC starts playing in the arena

"You gotta go." She went back to work mode.

Seth was alone on his bed in his hotel room, thinking about her. She was leaving. For 2 years he had looked forward to Monday nights to spend time with another man's wife. Innocent time. He knew she wasn't that kind of girl so he always fought the feelings. Now that he had a chance she would be gone. He had to do something to stop her.

He reached for his phone and texted her.

"I AM BORED. What are you up to?" SEND.

She heard her phone and smiled when she saw his name. He had been just wonderful since her return and she couldn't help but enjoy his attention. Even though she had been married the entire time she knew him, his good looks were never lost on her. He made her feel special. He was sweet and gentle, something she never got from her sarcastic, jerk of a husband.

"In bed about to watch a movie." She lingered before hitting send trying to build the courage "In bed about to watch a movie. Wanna join? Room 303" SEND

Seth had to read the text about 3 time.

"Be there soon." SEND.

"DID I REALLY JUST DO THAT?!" Ellie jumped up and started picking up her room.

"Why the fuck do I have to be so messy!" she started throwing clothes into her suitcase and trying to close it in a hurry.

Seth changed into a clean shirt and made his way over to her room.

She took a deep breath and opened the door.

"You made it" she smiled. Moving to the side so he could come in.

He walked in and looked around a bit.

She jumped on the bed and sat. He smiled at how cute she was. Took a seat on the floor to not be too bold.

She laughed "you can sit on the bed. I promise I won't rape you" she put the movie on and made room for him

He smiled and sat on the bed against the pillows next to her

"can't rape the willing" he winked at her and laughed

She blushed and smiled.

They didn't pay much attention to the movie, they spent the time talking and getting to know each other.

Ellie was laughing at Seth's latest story

"You are something else, Mr. Rollins" She smiled and playfully smacked his chest a bit.

He loved it when she called him Mr. Rollins. Always had, always will. This time however it did something inside of him. He couldn't help it.

He put his hand on Ellie's chin and pulled her in for a soft kiss.

Ellie was taken back but was not about to put up a fight and returned the kiss.

Once Seth got the green light he deepened the kiss. Spreading her lips open with his tongue and exploring her mouth.

Without breaking the kiss Ellie got on his lap, to Seth's pleasant surprise.

He reached under her shirt slowly in case she stopped him, she didn't, he reached her breast and massaged each one individually. Moving his lips to her neck, he attacked her neck with his kisses.

He leaned her head back to give him easier access and let out a soft moan that drove him wild.

He unfastened her bra and took a breast into his mouth. Sucking and licking like a mad man. He had dreamed of his many times and couldn't believe his luck.

Moving from one breast to the other and listening to the sounds of pleasure escaping her mouth.

Seth wanted to make her forget the pain she had felt in the past months and replace it with pleasure. He wanted to show her that she did not need her ex husband for happiness.

He reached into her pants and found her mound. He rubbed her slit with his finger slowly, enjoying the way her body jumped at his first touch.

"Oh Seth..hmmm…" She could hardly put words together. Mr. Rollins sure knew what he was doing down there.

"Tell me what you want me to do, baby" Seth whispered into her ear.

"Hmm… I want you to taste me" she moaned.

"Your wish is my command" He kissed her on the lips and then left a trail of kisses down her neck, playfully taking in a nipple in his mouth and making his way down. Removing her panties he wasted no time in digging his tounge in her.

The sounds of her moans were causing a fire inside of him. He had waited long enough and he was enjoying every minute of it.

"OH! That feels so good, Seth" It was been a while for her, and he knew what he was doing.

He held her legs down as he felt her climax coming. She let out a some screams as she came for him

"that was so good.." Ellie was trying to catch her breath.

Seth watched her and smiled. He planted a kiss on her forehead "Glad you enjoyed that"

After she caught her breath she pulled him down to the bed and smiled at him.

"Your turn" She kissed him and then helped him out of his pants immediately taking his full length into her mouth.

Seth closed his eyes and enjoyed it to the fullest.

She was quite happy with his size and was making sure to take care of his full member.

Seth placed on hand on her head watching her as she sucked him and his other hand rubbed her clit causing her to moan against his penis.

"Shit that feels good!" Ellie had to stop to catch her self.

Seth grinned "I want to fuck you now, would you like that?"

Ellie smiled at him "You have no idea…" she got off of him

Seth got on top of her and kissed her gently as he entered her.

He had waited long enough and he was going to make it last. He paced himself and enjoyed watching the pleasure in her face.

"Seth, fuck me faster" She moaned

Seth wanted to tease her a little and continued his pace, watching her grind herself against him trying to do the job herself

He laughed a little and kissed her. Increasing his speed

"You like that? Huh? You like it when I fuck you hard?" He moaned

"Oh my…yes Seth, fuck me!"

They continued this until he reached his climax.

He then laid down next to her and wrapped his arms around he.

She fell asleep in his arms and he watched her. He was the luckiest man alive.

He kissed her lightly on the forehead and sleep.

The next morning Ellie wakes up and Seth still had an arm around her. She watches him sleep and moves some hair away from his face.

"You have gone and done it now." She thought to herself. She did not even want to imagine what would happen if Phil found out.

Ellie looked out the window realizing the sun is out and it has been out for awhile "SHIT. WHAT TIME IS IT!?" She jumped out of bed reaching for her clothes.

"What's wrong babe?" Seth tries to open his eyes to look at her

"Shit...I missed my flight. I had a meeting with creative this morning" Ellie walked away on her phone "Steph, I am so sorry. Something came up, I was not able to get on my flight..I am still in Atlanta." Ellie was pacing up and down the room " I know..I am so sorry…Thank you so much! I will get on a flight this afternoon" She hung up and looked at Seth and couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Woops" Seth laughed. "Come back to bed, gorgeous" he put out an arm for her to join him.

Ellie climbed in bed with him and kissed his nose.

"You are trouble for me, Mr. Rollins" She smiled.

He couldn't help but smile "Me? What do you think Punk is gonna do to me when he finds out?!"

Ellie felt a pit in her stomach "He can't know Seth…" she looked at him.

"what do you mean?" Seth looked at her

"No one can know. I am going to go work in Stamford full time, Seth. I can't have drama and rumors going around about us." She sat up.

Seth understood at that moment, she didn't want a relationship and he felt so stupid for thinking otherwise.

Seth stood up and walked to the bathroom slamming the door behind him.

Ellie got dressed and left the hotel room. She needed to go for a walk.

"What the fuck have you done? You're so stupid!" She thought she was talking to herself

"Why are you stupid?" Dean Ambrose had been standing there waiting for Roman to walk down for breakfast.

Ellie had completely missed Ambrose and she jumped at the sound of his voice.

"Shit! You scared me, Dean!" she was out of breath.

He couldn't help but laugh "Sorry! I thought you saw me, I was standing right here. But I guess you were too busy fighting with yourself. I guess I am not the only unstable one." He winked at her

"Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind" She sighed.

"Could Seth be involved in those things on your mind? He never came back to the room after going over for a movie with you" Dean smirked

"I am a fucking screw up, Dean. Why does he even want to be around me? Everyone in the dressing room says I'm damaged goods anyway" she fought back tears.

"Who the fuck cares what everyone in the dressing room thinks? From the moment that guy laid eyes on you, you have been nothing but the holy grail to him. He loves you. He tried to fight it, and he failed so he was ok being the friend as long as you were happy. Maybe you should give him a fair chance" Dean walked away when his friend exited the elevator.

Ellie watched him leave. After her divorce from Phil, she swore to herself to stay away from wrestlers. She hated herself for doing this to Seth. She should of never entertained him and she sure as hell should of never slept with him.

Ellie made her way back to her room to have a talk with Seth. She had to go, and she was glad she was leaving the road.

Seth was about to leave when Ellie walked in.

"Seth… " Ellie couldn't find the words.

"Don't say anything. I was the stupid one. I knew you needed time and instead I just jumped in feet first." He grabbed her chin in his hands and gave her a soft passionate kiss "I love you, Ellie. I have loved you since the first time we met. I have tried not to love you and it's never worked. I will love you whenever you are ready to come back to me." Seth kissed her again and walked out the door.

Ellie watched the door shut behind him and let the tears roll down her face.

It had been almost a year since that night with Seth Rollins and Ellie had been working at the corporate offices in Connecticut. They both had to use their full will power to not call or text the other.

Raw was in town that week and Vince McMahon had asked some of the corporate office staff to attend Raw and get a feel for what was going on with the stars. Ellie was one of those asked to go.

From the moment she found out she had to attend Raw, Ellie had been a nervous wreck. She had not heard or seen Seth aside from WWE videos, since that day. He was constantly on her mind. She had fallen for Mr. Rollins, but she was afraid to let go.

Seth was preparing for Raw Stamford. He had written a text to Ellie and deleted it last second about 10 times since he arrived in Stamford. He wanted to see her, he wanted to smell her hair, he wanted to hold her, but if she didn't love him he had to back off.

That night Ellie walked into the arena and was a nervous wreck. She had been asked to help with the production of Raw as they were short handed due to a case of the flu going around with the crew and her having experience.

She took her place at the gorilla and looked at the order of the show. Her eyes kept fixating on one name "Seth Rollins", He was supposed to go out there around mid show and again for the main event. She couldn't help but be happy for him being a main event super star now and she didn't want to do anything to distract him or ruin it for him.

Seth started walking to the gorilla when his time was getting close to go out to the ring as he was walking he saw her giving final instructions to Randy Orton. He held his breath for a second and walked up to her.

"Hey…" he smiled slighty.

"Seth…" she looked up at him

"You look great" he gave her a soft hug. He closed his eyes and took it all in. Her warmth, the smell of her hair, how fragile she felt in his arms. He would give it all up for her to love him how he loved her. He knew he could her make her happy if she would just let him.

"you too" Ellie felt safe in his arms. She felt right. She hated herself for not letting go.

"Ellie, please. We need to talk" He grabbed hand in his.

"I can't do this anymore. That night in Atlanta, I know you felt something. I can't stop thinking about you…I don't want to." Seth looked into her eyes as his last plea

Ellie looked down "you are on in 30 seconds."

Seth's heart broke, he felt like he was kicked in the stomach. He had just poured out his heart out to her. He walked through the curtain when his music came on.

Ellie watched him go and couldn't hold back her tears.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns had walked up as they were next to go out there.

"Everything alright?" Roman asked Ellie

"Yeah, Sorry." Ellie wiped away her tears.

Dean shook his head. Knowing what it was about.

"I am not a relationship person, so I am for sure no expert in what is going on here. But even for me with no relationship skills, it seems very senseless that you are choosing to protect some asshole that cheated on you than your own happiness"

Dean and Roman walked through the curtain.

Ellie watched them through the Monitors. She could still see the hurt in Seth's eyes.

As she was watching the monitors someone came up and poked her side.

"Long time no see." It was her ex, CM Punk.

"Phil, you're not on until later in the show." Ellie looked at her clipboard to confirm.

"I know. I saw you watching that Rollins kid. I was wondering if you could tell me what the fuck happened between you two?" Punks voice went dark.

"What? What do you mean?" Ellie's mind was racing.

"I didn't want to believe it. When people told me that Rollins spent the night in your room in Atlanta, I said not my pure Bride" he mockingly put his hand on her cheek.

"But now I saw the whole exchange and I am starting to believe that you really are nothing more than a ring rat, lost one wrestler so needed to find another?" Phil stared into her eyes. His stare was cold. He always had a way with words. He knew just how to hurt her.

Ellie held back tears.

"Fuck you, Phil." She tried to find the last ounce of bravery she had to stand up to him.

"Answer me, Elizabeth. You fucked Rollins didn't you?" Phil leaned in closer. He felt jealousy fill his body. She was his. He was the only man she had been with. SHE WAS HIS.

Ellie tried backing up and backed into a wall.

"Did you enjoy it? How does it feel to be a WWE Whore now?" Phil was almost pinning her to the wall

Ellie couldn't fight back the tears anymore, nor could she muster up any courage to defend herself. She had given this man everything. She had let him become her world and she hated herself for still letting him have control over her.

"Elizabeth, you know you are mine. Don't ya? " Punk was almost whispering now.

Seth walked back from his segment and saw Punk pinning Ellie to the wall and saw how fragile and defenseless Ellie looked cowering from him. Rage took over his whole body. He didn't think twice he went over to Punk and punched him right in the mouth.

"OMG! Seth!" Ellie watched as Phil fell to the floor.

"You ARE FUCKING DEAD! YOU HEAR ME!?" Phil was trying to find his feet again.

"you ever come near her again and YOU will be dead" Seth stood in between Ellie and Punk protecting her.

A crowd had now gathered to watch what was going on.

"I WANT A FUCKING MATCH WITH HIM! I WILL END HIM!" Punk was directing his anger at creative

Ellie could feel her face red as a beet, this was exactly what she was trying to avoid. She took a hold of Seth's hand and rushed past the crowd.

Seth knew she needed to get away. He took charge and pulled his to his bus.

"It's a long road trip so we got a Bus for a week. We can hide out in here for a bit" Seth helped her to sit

Ellie cried into her hands

"This is a disaster. He's gonna go crazy now" Ellie was talking to herself.

Seth felt a bit defensive.

"Ellie, he was bullying you. You looked terrified. I couldn't just watch as he said those awful things to you." Seth sat next to her and rubbed her back.

Ellie looked at him

"I am sorry, Seth. I met him when I was really young. He was all I knew he was my best friend, my husband, he was everything and I guess I for some reason let him keep some of the control. And now I derailed your push, he's not going to stop until he ruins you Seth" Ellie cried again, she felt so stupid.

Seth held her close

"I love you, Ells. And if that means that I have to fight your crazy ex husband a couple of times in the ring, then so be it" Seth kissed her head and pulled her to his chest.

"I love you too, Seth" Ellie wrapped her arms around his neck.

Seth couldn't help but smile one of those goofy smiles he heard about. Seth leans down and kisses her softly.

Ellie gives into the kiss, she has been thinking of those lips for a year and they feel just as wonderful as she remembered.

Seth brings his hand to her neck and deepens the kiss.

Then a knock on the door causes them to break their kiss.

Ellie looks out the window and sees Dean.

Seth opens the door to let Dean in.

"Vince is livid. He is looking for you. Your fight was to close to the curtain and some fans got a glimpse. He wants you and punk in his office" Dean said to his friend.

Seth looked at Ellie and tried to give her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry babe. I will be back" He kisses her softly.

"You'll love me even if I become a street vendor after Vince is done with me right?" He smiled

Ellie couldn't help but giggle.

"Always" she kisses Seth

"then…that's all I need" Seth steps off the bus and goes to find out his fate.
