Obviously, I only own my OC! The time line in this story will be off a bit. Just to warn you.
In his house that he shared with Stephen in Tampa, he laid in bed after their long drive from Connecticut to Tampa. It was late. Though, sleep evaded the Brit. All he could think about was Remi McMahon. What was wrong with him? She was a McMahon and probably already with someone for all he knew. Besides, what would she find in the former bare knuckle brawler? He was probably just a job to her. Not that he would ever be able to act on any feelings he had for the youngest McMahon. That would be career suicide considering he was already on Vince's bad side for reasons unknown to him. Remi was a beautiful woman. The first one that had attempted to put him in his place in a bat of an eye. That fact alone was enough to draw him to her. Did she feel the spark when she had touched him? Or was he just being blinded by the fact that this woman did not take his shit. Finally growing tired of just laying in bed, he got up making his way to the kitchen down stairs. The only thing covering his body was a pair of black basketball shorts. Upon walking into the kitchen Stu took notice of Ste in the kitchen getting a late snack before he went to bed. "Can't sleep either Ste?" he asked the Irish male. "Nah. Got hungry. Still thinking about the young McMahon?" he asked his mate. Knowing him well enough to know that Stu already felt something towards the young McMahon whether he knew it or not. Nodding his head at his friend as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. "Yeah. I don't get it. As much as I want to hate her like I hate her family… There's something about her that.. Bloody hell.. I've taken too many shots to the head." he groaned before he took a swig of his water. His thoughts were halted by the laughter from his mate. "Stu, just be nice to the woman. The lass has done nothing to yeh. Well, other than punching yeh." he laughed while he told Stu. "Wanker." Stu growled at him. "She wants me at the performance center at six am, Ste. Even said something about getting in the ring and rewarding me if I was a good boy. Who's supposed to get in the ring with me. Her? Don't get it, man." Stu said as he took a seat in one of the kitchen chairs. "Don't over think Stu. Lass is just trying to help. Though, must say she must like yah if she wants to reward yah." he wagged his eyebrows at his friend. "Get to bed, yah gonna need some sleep." he told him as he turned to go to his own room. Sighing, Stu finished off his bottle of water before he went to his room to attempt to get some sleep. This time he finally fell asleep, though his dreams all consisted of Remi in some way.
No sooner than she had laid on the hotel bed, her cell phone was ringing. Groaning, she grabbed her phone and answered it without looking at the caller ID on her screen. "Hello." she said into the phone. "Rem, how was the first day?" Stephanie's voice replied. "Alright. I suppose it was as good as I expected it to be." she replied to her sisters question. "Heard you punched Stu Bennett today in the hallway. Put him in his place…" she rambled over the phone to her younger sister. "Yes, I did. He had been a jerk. I taught him that he can't treat me like that. He later came and apologized to me. Then allowed me to ice his shoulder with no fight." she told her older sister. "Rem, he's not been a nice man to be around for any of us. He basically only talks to anyone other than Stephen or Drew who got released earlier in the year, when he has too. Other than that, he's silent and brooding all the time. Mad at the world almost." Stephanie said to Remi. "Think it's all a front. He doesn't want to let anyone in Steph. Just cut the man some slack. Hell, he is far away from home. He might miss it for all you know. Now, if you don't mind sis. I've got to get some sleep. I told him to meet me at the performance center at six to get some training done. Goodnight Steph." she said before hanging up the phone. Reaching over the edge of her bed she plugged her phone in to charge it. Finally getting comfortable in her bed, Remi thought about the entire day. The fluttering in her stomach starting the instant she thought about the rugged British man. Remington knew she wanted to get to know the man better, possibly break down the barrier that he had put up around himself. She also couldn't wait to see him getting all hot and sweaty tomorrow during training. Gasping in surprise of her own thoughts she blushed. She shouldn't be thinking of him like that, she hardly knew the man. Yet alone been intimate with him. Hell, she had yet to be intimate with any man. Aside from a few heavy make- out sessions with some of her ex boyfriends. Slowly, Remi drifted off into sleep. Having her first experience in dreaming of an intimate encounter with the man that she would be helping rehabilitate his shoulder.
The buzzing of her alarm on her phone pulled her out of her vivid dream. Sitting up in bed, Remi reached over and turned off her alarm before she pulled it off of the charger. Tossing the blanket off of her body she slipped out of her bed. Sleep still in her eyes, her brain still trying to figure out why her dream had felt real. God, how was she supposed to face him after having a dream about him plowing into her while he held her roughly against the wall. Not being gentle with her at all. Her cheeks flushed at the thought of parts of her dream that she remembered. Shaking her head to rid herself of the naughty thoughts and sleep, she started to get ready for the morning. Remington still had forty minutes before she would have to be at the performance center to meet with Stu. Quickly, she jumped into the shower washing her body of the sweat that she had gained during her vivid dreams from the night. Once she was finished with her shower she dressed in a pair of tight fitting yoga shorts with a green sports bra, on her feet were a pair of nike's. Pulling her brunette locks into a bun on the top of her head to finish off her simple attire for the morning. Walking out of the bathroom she grabbed her phone and key card. Leaving the room, she pulled her earphones into her ears. Slipping her key card into her bra and placing her phone in the waistband of her shorts Remi took off down the hallway in a sprint. Remi sprinted the entire way to the performance center- not that it was far away. Remi had made it to the performance center four minutes early. Walking inside, she walked over to one of the many rings set up. Pulling her phone out of the waistband of her shorts as well as the key card out of her bra she placed both items on a chair by the ring she had chosen to start their work this morning. Getting into the ring, Remi started to run the ropes while she waited for Stu to get here. Stu walked in right at six. His oculars instantly locking on Remi who currently ran the ropes by herself. Taking a glance around, he took note of there not being anyone else there. Most probably still sleeping at this ungodly hour. Stu made his way over to the woman in the ring who had yet to notice him yet. Dropping his phone, wallet into the same chair as Remi he quickly got into the ring with her. Alerting her to his presence. "Glad you could make it." she said to him, a slight blush forming on her cheeks as her hues looked him up and down. He looked amazing in just a pair of basketball shorts. His shirt already had been discarded. Giving Remi the perfect view of his body. "Turn around. I want to take a look at your shoulder." she told him as she stepped up closer to him. Stu nodded to her, not wanting to argue with her this early in the morning. Turning around he allowed for her to check on his shoulder. Though, he did not fail to notice that she had started to blush when she looked at his body.
Remi had a hard time getting a good look at his shoulder due to their height difference. Throwing caution to the wind, Remi placed her left hand on his right shoulder as she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. Stu had been caught off guard by the legs wrapping around his waist. Turning his head slightly he glanced at the woman who now hung on him. Raising an eyebrow at her in question. She shrugged her shoulders. "Couldn't really see." she stated in a soft mumble. Her fingers prodded his shoulder looking for a tender spot, but not really finding one. Which, was a good thing. Placing her right hand on his left bicep she pulled his arm back towards her to see if it caused any pain. When she found none she placed her hand on his tricep and repeated the motion only this time pushing his arm up. Still finding no pain she then made him out stretch his arm completely. In that moment, she felt the man flinch in some pain when his arm completely extended out. "Sorry." she whispered as she let him put his arm back down at his side. "Looks like we need to work on external rotation of your shoulder." she told him as her fingers gently rubbed circles on his shoulder. "Ready to start then love?" he asked her as he glanced at her once again over his shoulder. His body more than aware of hers wrapped around him. Much like she had been in his dreams. Pushing those thoughts aside when he seen her nod her head at him, Stu took this time to catch her off guard. Reaching behind him with both of his arms he wrapped his arms around her neck as he leaned down slightly and tossed her from his back. Sending her onto the mat below with a soft thud. Remi let out a sound of surprise as Stu flipped her over his body. Looking up at him she rubbed her back a bit. The smirk on his lips telling her that he was proud that he got one over on his trainer. Shaking her head, Remi quickly got up. Her plan for the day was to go directly after his shoulder to see how much he could actually take. Granted, her strength was nothing near the men that he would be in the ring with- it still gave her a better feel for how well his healing had been progressing.
Once she had gained a vertical base again, Remi launched herself at Stu. He had dodged her, much like she had wanted him too. She managed to turn around before he did. Using this to her advantage, Remi wrapped her right arm around Stu's left as she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist once again. Her right arm pulled at the elbow of Stu's left arm, causing it to be pulled back. Her left arm reached forward and around Stu's neck to pull his neck back at the same time she pulled at his injured shoulder. He grunted in pain at the base of his shoulder. This woman would be the death of him if she kept wrapping her legs around him like this. Stu had to quickly push the thoughts away as he focused on getting out of the submission she had him in. The only thought he had was to slam her into the corner. Which is exactly what he did as he stepped backward into the corner. His body pushing her into the corner. Keeping her locked in between him and the corner. He heard the sound of discomfort escape her lips as she kept her submission locked in, this time her legs wrapping tighter around his torso. When he knew she wasn't going to let go, he stepped forward only to slam back into the corner. This time with more force than the first one. Her legs released him to drop down onto the canvas while her arms let him go as well. Turning around, Stu came face to face with the woman that had plagued his dreams the night prior. The smirk on her lips unmistakable. "That the best you've got Bennett?" she asked him with her eyebrow raised in question. The rest of their two hour training session went much like this. The two of them trying to bring out the best in the other. The sexual tension could be felt by everyone that had came in later than them- yet had been completely ignored by the two who were working together. In the end, Remi had finally wore him down enough to where he started to feel pain in his shoulder. That told her he was almost ready to be back in the ring. Almost. If he could last in the ring with her going for nothing but his injured shoulder for two hours, he would be able to pull off a few minutes in the ring with a man. Though, she was still going to make him wait a little while to get the strength back into his shoulder. Currently, Stu's body laid over Remi's who had just had him locked in a submission that made him tap. The submission had his arm bent at an odd angle while being behind her neck, her legs once again wrapped around his waist. A choke hold that put his shoulder at the one angle that seemed to always hit more than he wanted. Even with her being easy on the shoulder the pain nearly made him cry out in pain. She had already let go of the hold her hands quickly moving his arm into a more comfortable position before she started to rub the sore muscles in his shoulder. Stu made no effort to get up, even though he felt like he was crushing her. She didn't seem to mind his weight over her while she soothed his aching muscle- she had also not removed her legs from around him. Sighing, he just buried his head in the side of her neck as he attempted to push the pain aside. "I'm so sorry Stu, that was too much for you." she whispered to him while her hands continued to rub his tender shoulder.
