A.J looked up at the silent man next to him, worry creasing his brow. "I don't want you left here alone. Why can't I just leave when you leave, why do you..."

"Honey we've been going over this for the past three days. I can't travel just yet and you should have left two days ago. Danial has been able to hold everyone off this long but any longer..."

"Fine but you better hurry up and get your ass over there. I'm not staying if you're not..." He was interrupted by a kiss, groaning as he pressed up against Shane.

Shane wrapped an arm around A.J.'s waist, pulling him closer as he deepened the kiss. "You're worried I'm going after Wellington, I am not. I need to take care of some things concerning the house then I'll be there."

"You're lying I can see it in your eyes. You're going back to deal with him. Shane please, don't..." A.J. pulled back as he looked up at Shane, eyes wide with angry worry.

"I have to deal with this honey. I can't keep letting him spread these stories about you. Besides, as long as he's not bothering you then I'm doing my job."

"I am not a fucking job Shane, I am your partner and if..." A.J was cut off again by another kiss. This one softer, sweeter than the one before."Fu-fuck you Shane, stop trying to..." He couldn't help moaning as Shane deepened the kiss, his hands curling tightly in Shane's henley. "Don't take to long." He whispered as he pulled back. A.J would admit that he didn't want to leave without Shane but knew work had to come first. "Lisa and Patrick are supposed to bring Amber Saturday. You'll be there by then right?"

"Of course, I'll have the boys with me as well. You be careful, Chris and Shinsuke are waiting for you." Shane slowly stood up, pulling A.J up with him. "Call me as soon as you get in, Danial will be looking for you guys so you should be ok until I get there."

"Yeah, well still, don't take to long and stay away from Wellington. What he did..."

"What he did will be dealt with, right now I need you to catch this flight." Shane gently steered A.J towards the other passengers in line. He nodded to Chris and Shinsuke as they got ready to board. "I'll be there as soon as I can so don't worry. You have a show to do, focus on your fans and everything else will be fine." He gave A.J a quick kiss before stepping back and letting him board the plane. He waved at the brunette, watching as he followed his friends. "Is everything in place?" He didn't have to turn to know who stood behind him.

"As soon as the plane is in the air we will leave."

"Good, I want these papers signed as soon as possible. I don't want anything standing in the way of my claiming Allen." Shane turned to look up at the silent man behind him. "I should have sent you with him, at least I'd know he was protected."

"Jones will be fine, come frè, we must go. This whole business with your ex needs to be taken care of as does the situation with this salo."

Shane nodded, watching the plane back away from the gate, turn, and taxi down the runway. "I can't help feeling as if it may be awhile before I see him."

"Non, do not worry so much. You will see him once this has been taken care of."

Shane nodded as he followed Dre away from the window and through the airport. "I sent Alistair so that should help too." He said softly, looking back out the window one last time, Shane sighed. He needed to get the divorce papers finalized then pick up the boys. Once done, they would head to Japan to meet Allen and Amber. "Hey Dre, tell me about Amber? Allen talks about her more now but..."

"You're curious about Lisa, yes?"

Shane nodded as they climbed into the back of the limo. "He didn't really tell me much about her but I understand he met her while she was overseas studying?" At Dre's nod, Shane got comfortable, listening to his friends story. Once Dre was done, Shane looked outside with a thoughtful expression. "And she's married now? I don't...Allen doesn't still..."

"Ti frè is not thinking about going back to her. He is all for you, no matter what. He may not always show it but he loves his partner."

Shane grinned, a nervous tilt of his lips as he looked at Dre. "I'm trying to keep it like that too." Glancing down at his phone, Shane sighed. "He's worried I won't rest."

"Can you blame him? You have yet to fully recover from what happened, he has a right to worry."

Shane nodded as he glanced back out the window. "How are we going to deal with what happened. I can't exactly show up to Smackdown injured." Shane rubbed the still healing scar on his chest. "Allen wasn't to happy about what happened either, said if he'd known when we first got together..."

"Frè has always been difficult when it came to family. He means well however with his concern over you. Which is good for the family and him, he will finally heal and that is all we have ever wanted."

Shane nodded, thinking back over his argument with A.J. "He was pissed about what happened. I've seen him angry before, we've beaten the hell out of each other because of it but this...this was..."

"He was scared, you came in bleeding and fighting everyone and he could hear you."

"I wanted to see him, I had to make sure he was safe." Shane's voice was soft as he watched the passing scenery. Shaking his head, he glanced at the man across from him. "The boys are excited about meeting him. Not sure if that's a good thing or not but we sill soon find out."

"Children tend to recognize good and evil better than we do. Which for us is good, we protect them while they protect us. Amber will be good for you and the boys, she is much like her father. Adventurous and free spirited but as beautiful as can be."

Shane smiled at the wistful tone, aware that it was the same one A.J used when talking about his daughter. Letting out a soft sigh, Shane closed his eyes. He was more tired than he'd expected but wouldn't complain. A.J had kept him up with his worry but he'd eventually fallen asleep. Albeit due to a teasing hand job from Shane.

"Sh-shane stop, ha, st-stop teasing me. I have a plane..."

Shane grinned at the shivery tone, his hand slowly moving up and down the hard cock. "You know you don't want me to stop so why say it?"

A.J sucked in a quick breath, letting it out on a moan as Shane's hand tightened around him. "B-because you asshole. I have...christ, Shane d-don't ngh haha, y-you fucker, I swear..."

"You swear what sweetheart? That you'll cum for me right now or later? You swear that you'll let me hear you scream? Or do you swear you love me?" Shane paused as A.J stiffened against him, his hips thrusting back and forth in desperation. "I swear, Allen, I want all of it, the sounds, your voice, and your love."

"Y-you have it, Shane god, you have it ok? S-so please...please..."

Shane hadn't held out long against that tone. He'd given A.J what he'd wanted and soon after was holding the exhausted brunette while he slept. "Everyone know what's going on for the next few days?"

"They do, our main concern now is making sure you are healed. The ceremony will take a lot out of you and with you traveling overseas..."

"It won't stop me from claiming him." Shane looked down at his watch, frowning at the time. "How long do we have before she shows up in the city?"

"About an hour or more, something you wish to do?"

"Yeah but let's head back to the house first, I need to grab my bag." Shane watched as Dre nodded, putting his headphones in his ears. Letting out a tired sigh, Shane started as his phone vibrated with a call. Looking down at the view screen he smiled. Pressing the answer button, he couldn't hide the smile from his voice. "You should be in the air by now."

"I am, I mean we are but..."

Shane frowned as he listened to A.J. "Honey, what's wrong?"

"Jesus Shane, that kiss, you have to do something. I can't...i-it's not going away..."

Shane felt a shiver move over him at the breathless tone and wondered where A.J was on the plane. "Where are you right now."

"The bathroom, Shane I-I need you to help me."

"Allen, I'm not alone right now, I can't really..." Shane broke off at the soft whine that sounded in his ear. Jaw clenching tight, he glanced over at Dre, grateful to see his friend appeared to be sleeping. "I could talk you through this but..."

"You've never done this before right?"

"No, I-I mean yes, yes I have but it's so much better when I can see you." Shane shook his head as he tried to imagine the man on the other end. "We should have just..."

"But we didn't so right now I need you to help me take care of this. Shane, seriously, I can't go back to my seat like this! I almost didn't make it to the bathroom in time to call you!"

Shane took a deep breath, hands shaking as he turned his back to Dre. "Honey, I'm with Dre, I can't just...a-as much as I would love to, I can't really do that with you and he's sitting across from me."

"Yes the fuck you can, if Dre is sleep you can! Shane you have to, please, if you hadn't kissed me like that then..."

Shane shook his head, aware that he had meant for A.J to think about him while he was gone. "How about this, I talk you through this one and tonight we can..."

"Together...ok, jesus fine just...I-I need to right now."

Shane glanced back at Dre, indecision making him hesitate until A.J moaned in his ear. The sound soft enough to make Shane's eyes close and goose bumps rise on his flesh. "Honey."

"Your taking to long, Shane hurry..."

"Jesus, why so impatient?" Shane turned away from Dre, a hand sliding across his stomach. "You know this is putting me at an unfair position."

"If you had put me in the position I asked you to sooner we wouldn't be doing this now."

Shane let out a soft huff as a grin curved his lips. "We didn't have the time then."

"We don't have it now. Shane why..."

"We just pulled back up to the house, let me get inside first ok? I'll do everything you ask just hold on a little longer for me?" Shane waited as the car pulled up to the house, opening the door and heading towards the back as quickly as possible. "Allen?" He could hear him breathing, breaths choppy and agitated. "I could have sworn you were in a private cabin."

"I am but...c-can they see me? I mean if I go back to my seat..."

"No sweetheart they can't see you, they're private cabins for a reason. Go back to your seat and just pull the screen down, you'll have to be quiet though, they aren't sound proof."

"Ok, yeah well fuck. Hang on, don't hang up Shane, seriously."

Shane chuckled as he unlocked the door to the kitchen. "Now why would I hang up? I have the chance to hear my favorite person as they..."

Bastard, I'm fucking walking through the plane right now. You should have said all of that earlier."

Shane grinned as he waved to Sadie, walking through the kitchen and heading towards the back. "You know Dre was not sleep and I wasn't going to treat your brother to a show between us." Shane listened to the sounds in the background, frowning as someone stopped A.J. "Allen?"

"I, uh, h-hang on, ok?"

Shane stopped short of the bedroom door, pausing at the hesitant tone. "Allen, what's going on, who..."

"Fran I-I mean Faith is here."

Shane stepped back from the door, turning towards the kitchen. "Is she with Woods?"

"Yes, Shane I thought..."

"I don't know how she got on the same flight as you. Go back to your seat, I'll have Alistair meet you there. If you see Chris or..." Shane broke off at the sound of Faith's voice, throat closing with his anger. Walking into the kitchen, he looked around for Sadie, frowning when he didn't see her. "What the fuck does she want?"

"She wants to talk. What can it hurt Shane, I mean she did help me get away from Wellington."

"She's also the one who's been making sure he knows where you are. Allen I need you to stay away from her, please." Shane turned, stepping back in surprise to find Sadie behind him. "Faith is on the fucking plane with him." He watched as Sadie's eyes widened in surprise. "I don't know how it happened but only employees and staff are supposed to be on that flight."

"We will figure out what happened, do not worry."

Shane nodded as Sadie turned and left the room. "Allen?"

"Which one of you hired her? Woods said she is one of the make up girls."

"Neither of us would do something that stupid or dangerous. She knows to much and pose's a threat to all of us. If she were hired on as staff, the only other person would be..." Shane broke off as a scowl curved his lips down. "There's someone I need to call."

"Yeah, well, Chris is going to join me and Faith for a little one on one. I want to know why I wasn't told about this kid."

Shane clenched his jaw against the response that threatened to spill out. Instead, he took a deep breath, releasing it on a soft sigh. "Promise me one thing."

"Nothing will be decided until I talk to you and only believe what I already know to be true."

Shane grinned as he sat down at the table. "Well, that but promise me you'll call as soon as you land? I may not be able to get to the phone but a voicemail would be nice." He idly traced the pattern on the table, stomach fluttering at the thought of A.J talking to Faith. Who knew what she would say in order to get A.J back for Wellington?

"Miss me already McMahon?"

"Well, Mr. Styles I guess you could say it's something like that." Shane felt his heart give an extra beat at the soft sound from the other end. "Allen?"

"I love you, god Shane if you're not going to make it..."

"I'll be there, once I take care of things here I'll be on my way there." Shane sighed as he sat back in his chair. He was irritated things were dragging on so long with his divorce. "There's something we need to talk about too but we'll do that later. You and Chris enjoy what ever stories Faith can come up with. As long as he isn't around you..."

"Easy tiger, you already know I'd tell you if he were but look she's here. I'll call you once we land."

Shane nodded, aware that A.J couldn't see him. "I love you too Allen, no matter what don't ever think differently." He listened to the soft sound of pleasure, chest constricting painfully. "Good to know I can still get you to make that sound. Even if it was out of bed and over the phone."

"God you're an asshole, anyway I'll talk to you later."

Shane sighed as the call was disconnected, staring out of the kitchen window in thought. He didn't enjoy the idea of Faith talking to A.J without him. The thought that she could let something slip and it hurt the brunette...

"I find that him coming back into the family is going to require bloodshed."

"As long as it's not his or any of ours then it doesn't really matter." Shane looked over at the woman next to him. "Sadie redid your hair."

"Said if Bray and I were going to go around spilling blood, I should at least match from head to toe."

Shane grinned as hazel eyes turned to look at him. "Yet you started out with white and it fades to red. You two just confuse the hell out of me." Shaking his head, he sighed as he tapped his phone against the table top. "Marissa is resisting the divorce, says there is a way to work things out between us because of the boys."

"She should never have cheated on you in your own home. That was bad enough but to be in the bed you share while your youngest was at home..."

"See, there is no reason to make the effort. Besides..." Shane felt a curl of heat spread through him as he thought about a certain brunette. "I plan to claim him in every way possible."

"Good, will make his coming back to the family easier, less stressful. You plan to claim him before the Fireflies? If they bless the union...

Shane nodded, his gaze turning back to the scene outside. "He my not want to be so public with everything though." Shane would admit to a number of daydreams about the final ceremony. The thought of taking A.J...of possessing him in front of everyone...of marking the tan body so everyone would know who A.J belonged to...

"He may not want it but you do."

"Yes." Shane's answer was simple. He wanted to take A.J in front of everyone so they would know that no matter what, he belonged to Shane. "But I can't do that as long as she refuses to sign the fucking papers."

"She will, come we must be about business while we can. Once you leave for Japan, Saffire will be all over me to get on a plane out there as well. Talk to him and see where his head is, you may be surprised by his answer. Remember, he is a public figure and enjoys showing off for a crowd."

Shane blinked at the last statement, mind going back over the first time they'd talked about being watched. "He loves the thrill of being seen, of people knowing that he can be bad."

"Fré always did love to show off for a crowd."

Shane chuckled at the soft statement,following Juls from the kitchen to the living room. "I'll be leaving tonight to meet Marissa, feel like going out after? Allen has a show but should be in about eleven or so." As Juls' nodded her agreement, Shane glanced around the room. "Sadie really outdid herself in here, how did she know..."

"Allen told her what he wanted for you and she made sure that he was given what he asked for. Have you not seen the room for timoun yo?(the children?)

"No, I haven't...wait, how did Sadie know to do their rooms as well?" Shane hadn't told her about the rooms for Amber and the boys. "Did Allen..."

"He said it would be a surprise for you all. He took great care to make sure you had what you wanted in your own private space."

Shane frowned, stomach churning as he thought back over the past three days. "The bedroom had boxes and sheets everywhere so I didn't see much of it, not that I would remember due to being medicated." He glared at Juls as she chuckled at his tone. "Not funny, you guys know I hate that shit. I was so out of it the first day and a half, it felt like I was dying and Allen being angry didn't make it better."

"I am sure, it will only get worse, the longer you two are apart the desire for connection will worsen. For me it was when Sadie went to Italy. Do you remember then? Bray and Dean had just gotten into it and Bray ended up putting Dean in an ambulance. It was fantastically violent..."

"But Bray ended up claiming Dean a month after. We had just changed the rules for the fight club because of that particular fight. They damn near killed each other." Shane's gaze narrowed as they headed upstairs. Looking back around the living room, he felt a smile curve his lips. The room was done in a mix of dark blue's, red's, and pale white. "Sadie really out did herself in that room." He grinned as Juls laughed, opening the first door at the top of the landing.

"This is the room you wanted redone, something about it being in the way?"

Shane shook his head as he looked around the small space. "For one it's to damn close to the top of the stairs. Two it's on the other side is the room for the boys, I was thinking about just making it part of their room but pushing back the entrance. Give us more space once at the top of the landing. Allen said Amber is a runner..." Shane stopped at the sound of his phone ringing, sighing he pulled it out of his pocket and glanced at the screen. "Marissa." He replied after pressing the answer button. Walking back downstairs, he sighed at the voice of his soon to be ex.

"Are we seriously going to go through with this? I can not understand why you insist on..."

Shane sighed in irritation as he tried to keep his tone even. "We've been over all of this Marissa, I'm not going to keep repeating myself. You cheated on me, in our house...our bed. I have no reason to stay, the boys will be taken care of no matter what is said or done."

"Is it because of him? I've seen how you two interact with each other on television. Wrestlemania wasn't the start of it was it?"

Gritting his teeth, Shane sucked in a quick breath. "If you're trying to imply that I cheated on you then you are mistaken. I will not hesitate to verify everything as well as provide proof of my whereabouts at the time. Do not test my patience any longer on this Marissa. Accept the terms and sign the papers. You and the boys will be taken care of no matter what happens between us."

"But what if having you here with us will be best for us?"

"Then I will have to apologize to my son's because I can not live with their mother. They are old enough to understand that and why I made that choice." Pinching the bridge of his nose, Shane let out a tired sigh. "Sign the papers Marissa, you will be free then to do whatever it is you wish and I will no longer have to worry about the embarrassment to me, my son's, and my family."

"When will you be in town, we can take care of all of this at once then."

"I'll be there in a few hours, had to take of some things for work." Shane motioned to Juls as he grabbed his bag from the kitchen then headed outside. "Make sure you have the boys packed and ready or your attorney..."

"I know what will happen Shane, if it means anything I am sorry for what happened."

Shane sighed as he let his shoulders drop. "I am too, now we have a chance to be happy and make sure the boys are happy as well." He listened as she sighed before letting him know where they could meet and at what time. Disconnecting the call, Shane sighed before opening the door on the SUV. "He's going to need the full set."

"You are certain?"

Shane smiled as he turned to look up at Juls. "Yes, once she signs the papers we're headed to Japan. I need to make sure I keep my promise this time, no matter what."
