2215 Tawny Willow Road looked like every other house on Tawny Willow. A perfectly white concrete square with two windows on the front wall and a white door, all the yards fenced in by white vinyl planks. The only thing that made this particular house stand out was the blue and black Harley in the driveway but what really made it better than all of the rest of the houses on Tawny Willow, at least to Alexa, was the fact that Baron Corbin lived there.
She'd been completely surprised when just twenty minutes after Charlotte had left her in the courtyard to head for the Administration Building she'd returned to their dorm room with a thin manila envelope and a triumphant smile, looking like the proverbial cat that ate the canary. She was flushed and out of breath and she wondered just what Charlotte had done to get the information. Being the type of person that she was though she wasn't going to have to wonder long.
"I've seen you run a mile in six minutes and not be this out of breath or as red in the face as you are now. What exactly did you do to get this information?"
She sauntered over to the desk where Alexa was sitting and if it was even possible she looked more satisfied with herself than she had just a second ago.
"As I told you, I know the girl working in the records room. I didn't tell you that she was insanely attractive. So ya know a little flirting, a really hot make out session in the records room and the promise that I would call her got me three minutes in the room alone. Finding your boy Baron was all too easy." She handed her the manila envelope. "So easy in fact I had time to spare and therefore snoop and did you know that Becky's GPA is a single point away from NXT revoking her scholarship?" She tapped a finger against her chin. "I wonder if that happened, if they'd also revoke her student visa? Wouldn't Sasha just be devastated to lose her bestie." She snickered. "Oh and that Crowe guy got busted for pot last year."
She opened the envelope and inside was a single sheet of paper with Baron's address, phone number and his GPA (which was a solid 3.34 by the way). She laughed and asked her friend what possible use his GPA could be to her and why she'd felt the need to include that bit of information in their little scheme. Charlotte had simply replied that it was always nice for a girl to know if a guy was a complete moron or not before they started dating.
"After all, it would have saved me a hell lot of grief with Tyler."
Alexa remembered Tyler, gorgeous face, nice body but nothing in his skull but sarcasm, cruelty and vanity. He was one of those douches that used a "selfie stick" and thought he was the most phenomenal man to grace planet earth in the history of ever. When Charlotte had finally kicked him to the curb she'd actually thrown a secret party for all of their mutual friends so they could celebrate the end of Tyler.
She was brought back to the present by the passing of another car, it was one of those community watch people and it was the third time this one had gone by since she'd been sitting here and with each pass the look the octogenarian gave her got nastier and nastier. If she didn't do something soon she was probably going to have problems. Problems that would involve cops and possible prowling accusations and she absolutely did not want to deal with that.
She'd thought about calling Baron instead of going to his house but if she called he would probably freak out, call her a stalker or something and hang up on her. Showing up at his house and sitting outside didn't seem any less stalker-like but at least if she was right in front of him it would be easier to convince him to let her explain things.
It had seemed like a reasonable enough plan but now that Alexa was sitting in her car across the street from Baron's house she couldn't seem to gather the courage to get out of her car and go knock on the door. She'd been sitting out here for like thirty minutes now and if she didn't do something soon one of his neighbors or that nagging neighborhood watch guy were bound to call the cops or something.
Alright Alexa get your shit together! You posed naked in front of this guy for over eighteen hours. You're a grown, mature woman in control of her own decisions, her emotions and her sexuality and you really like this guy. Now get your ass out of this car, cross the street and go get him! Feeling more confident after her mental pep talk she pulled down the visor to check her make-up one last time, took a deep breath and got out of car and clicked the button to lock it as she crossed the street to Baron's house, her heels click click clicking on the pavement as she did.
The walkway to the front door was lined with a planter made of brick that was full of beautiful purple kiss-me-quick's. Once she stood in front of the door she took one last moment to smooth down her sparkly gold and silver skirt and run her hands over her hair, trying to tame any flyaway strands. Another steadying breath and she rapped her knuckles against the door three times in quick succession. Bum, bum, bum. No response. She waited a few moments and was about to raise her hand to knock again when she heard Baron call out, "Just a sec."
She took a step back from the door and was about to run a hand over her skirt again out of pure nervousness but she didn't get the chance because Baron chose that moment to open the door and she had to restrain herself from letting out a whistle of appreciation. Apparently she'd caught him in the middle of a shower because he was standing there wearing nothing but a towel around his waist and a shocked expression. His shoulder length hair was dripping and a light gloss of water still covered his chest and abdomen. The towel seemed to be loosening as they stood there and it began to dip lower and lower until she saw just the barest hint of his trimmed pubic hair.
She rallied quickly though, "I've never seen your other tattoos before. I really like the birds and the stars and the like…prism thing around the heart is pretty cool. They're really beautiful Baron." She was having a hard time keeping her eyes on his face, they kept wanting to drift lower in the hopes of catching a peek of that trimmed brown hair again.
When he noticed that her eyes kept flicking downwards he pulled the towel up higher and tucked the edges in a little tighter. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before he smiled, one of the few she'd ever seen from him and then he finally spoke, "Okay first of all, how did you get my address? Second of all, I doubt that you did whatever you did to get my address just so that you could come here to talk to me about tattoos. What gives, princess? What are you really doing here?"
"Well I...I uh…you see…" She'd already been nervous when she got there and seeing Baron's half naked dripping body was making it hard for her to string together a coherent sentence.
He held up his hand to stop her pitiful attempt at answering his question and she closed her mouth so hard her teeth clacked together. Oh my God. His hands though, gosh! They were large, hardened by his mechanic work and with visible calluses along the palm, a hand that would probably feel amazing sliding over her bare skin. Stop it Alexa! Don't go there.
"As you can see I'm not exactly appropriately dressed to be standing in my doorway and not having a conversation with you so why don't you come inside and I'll get dressed, then we can finish…whatever this is."
Oh don't get dressed on my account, she thought as Baron led her into the house. The front door opened directly into the living room, the walls were painted a light blue and covered with photographs of motorcycles and wolves and Vikings. There was a leather couch long enough to seat like at least six people and a leather recliner situated at the end of the couch. Along the wall opposite the couches there was an entertainment center with a large flat screen TV. Not too shabby for a college student.
"Go ahead and have a seat, I'll just be a minute." He said, then turned and disappeared down the hallway.
She went over to the couch and sat down at the end closet to the windows on the front wall of the house. The couch was very plush and when she sat back all the way she sunk so far into it that her feet didn't even touch the floor anymore. Deciding that probably wasn't the best position to be in when Baron returned she scooched to the edge of the couch so that her feet remained planted firmly on the floor. She couldn't believe that she'd actually come here in the first place and now add to that the fact that she was actually, right at this very moment in his house and she was equal parts nervousness and excitement.
She was pulled from her inner monologue by Baron's reentry into the room. He'd decided to throw on some loose fitting gray sweat pants but had opted not to put on a shirt at all. He came and sat down next to her on the sofa and she could still smell the shower she'd interrupted, the scents still clinging to him. He smelled like water and soap and leather and all man. It was intoxicating to her and she found herself leaning ever so slightly towards him so that she could envelope herself in the scent that seemed to be exclusively Baron. He cleared his throat and she jumped back as if she'd been caught trying to steal a cookie from the cookie jar, though if he'd noticed her moment of creepy smelling, he didn't let on.
"So as I was saying before, how did you get my address and why are you here?"
Alexa could feel the blood starting to rush to her face, causing it to grow warm as she started to explain.
"Well I found the portfolio that you left for me and Baron…it was just the most wonderful gift. Your art it's…it's so beautiful and to know that you see me that way and that I'm an inspiration to you, Baron that's just so touching and it really means a lot to me. But then you left before I got the chance to see it, before I got a chance to feel those things and tell you about them, to express my thanks. I was honestly so sad that I couldn't thank you right away and I had no way to get in touch with you and I just didn't know what to do."
"I suppose this is where we get to the part of the story where you explain how your superior detective skills got you my home address?" He said sardonically.
"Yes, it is and for your information I didn't have to lift a finger, that's how powerful I am. I know people who know people that were able to get the info I needed. If I said anything more though, I'm afraid I'd have to kill you."
He raised one eyebrow in amused speculation. "So basically you're saying that you got someone to break into the records room and risk expulsion for reading private student files, all just to say thanks for some drawings? I think that's totally senseless and endlessly crazy. Why was it that important to you?"
She lowered her eyes to the floor, noticed a brown stain on the white carpet and decided that was what she would focus on so she didn't have to look at him when she explained. "Well ya see thanking you, that wasn't the only reason. I wasn't just upset because I couldn't thank you. It was also because…" she trailed off.
"Because?" he prompted.
"Well because I've been attracted to you since that very first day in class and it quickly turned into a crush and my friend kept telling me to ask you out and I wanted to, I really did but I was afraid that you'd turn me down and then I'd have to keep getting naked in front of you knowing that you didn't feel the same way and I couldn't handle that. I was gonna ask you to exchange numbers on that last day but you just took off. So that's the real reason I wanted to see you again. To tell you that I really like you and I'd love to go out sometime or whatever, ya know if you want to and I really did wanna thank you for the drawings." She said in a rush.
It had been so much easier to spill her guts to the brown stain on the floor instead of Baron and she did actually feel a little better but the longer the silence stretched out the more she felt like this had all been a huge mistake, maybe he wasn't interested. She rose from the couch and started heading for the door to let herself out, trying to retain as much of her dignity as possible.
"I'm sorry for just showing up this way Baron. Thank you again for the gift and just forget about everything else I just said." She'd almost made it to the door when suddenly he was there, blocking her path.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, princess. You don't just get to drop news like that on a guy and then take off."
Alexa didn't like feeling as if she were being ordered to do something and with her emotions already in a jumble his statement easily sparked her temper. She looked him square in the eye as she replied icily, "I can and I will. Now get out of my way Baron, before I make you get out of my way." She took three more steps towards the door but he grabbed her the arm and turned her around, placing a hand on each shoulder effectively holding her in place.
"I just needed a minute to process what you said."
He took a deep breath and Alexa could see the play of muscle in his chest as he did so. Angry or not it was incredibly hard to tear her eyes away from his gorgeous body but he was talking again and she didn't want to seem rude so she went back to looking at his face.
"I like you too, Alexa. I like you a lot actually, more than I've liked anyone in a long time. I wanted to ask you out too but I was sure that you'd say no because I'm not some metrosexual business major with a country club membership and a Jag. And you, you're like this perfect, beautiful, pixie princess and I'm just this grungy auto mechanics major. I thought you only talked to me because we had that class together kind of. I wasn't even sure if I should consider us friends so I never dared hope that you would want to go out with me. So yeah, I needed a minute to process it."
He liked her. He liked her! Baron Corbin liked Alexa Bliss! She could hardly believe it, she thought her heart might burst from pure joy. She was laughing and she couldn't even remember when she'd started. She jumped up into Baron's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist and looping her arms around his neck. He was caught off guard and lost his balance for a split second before pressing Alexa against the front door (which was a lot better than falling on his ass or dropping her).
Their bodies were pressed together from chest to crotch, faces just inches apart. For the first time she noticed that there was a light ring of hazel around the pupil of his brown eyes and he had the faintest sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of his nose. The elation she was feeling at the realization that he felt the same attraction to her as she did to him coupled with the pressure of their crotches pressed together was causing her body to respond of its own volition. Her heart started to pound harder in her chest, her breathing became quicker and she could feel her skin starting to get warm. His chest muscles flexed with every breath he took, causing the material of Alexa's shirt to rub over her nipples and she could feel them beginning to pucker in response.
He could feel her nipples pebbling through her shirt and his dick was starting to take interest, awakened by the pressure of her pelvis pressed against his own. She broke his gaze and her eyes came to settle on his lips. He saw the tip of a pink tongue swipe across her glossy bottom lip and that was about all the temptation he could take. Ever so slowly, giving her time to change her mind if she wanted, he brought his face closer and closer to hers until he could feel her breath ghosting over his face. Never taking his eyes off of hers he waited for any sign that she didn't want this to happen, when she gave no objections he tilted his head a little to the right and she tilted hers a little to the left and then their lips touched for the first and it was heavenly. He brushed his lips lightly over hers once, twice, three times before tracing the outline with the tip of his tongue, her mouth opened on a sigh and he took that opportunity to slip inside. He wanted to explore her mouth, to savor it and so he slid his tongue over hers before moving it along the insides of her cheeks and over the edges of her perfect teeth. She quickly began to respond to his attentions, swirling her tongue around his and seeking to take control of the kiss by sucking the tip of his tongue into her mouth.
Alexa wanted more, more of his kisses, more of his body, more of his touch, just more. She changed the angle of the kiss and forced her tongue farther into his mouth, exploring it as he had explored hers until their kiss was just a tangle of tongues and lips and teeth. She could hear her own quiet little sighs and moans of delight but it felt as if they weren't even coming from her. Was she even here right now? Or was this all just an elaborate hallucination and she was really still in her dorm? It didn't matter, her entire world had narrowed down to this moment. Finally, the need for oxygen won out and they broke apart, Alexa sliding down along the front of his body until her feet were once again on the floor.
On her way down though she'd definitely been able to feel the press of his erection against her and she licked her lips just thinking of all the delightful things she could do with this man. She could still taste him, peppermint and something else that she couldn't put a name to but it was all Baron. She could still feel her heart pounding behind her ribs but her breathing had finally started to return too normal. She stood there staring up at him with wide eyes, completely dumbstruck for a moment because for all her gumption, she had no idea what to do next. She'd shown up at his house completely out of the blue to thank him for a gift and had ended up spilling her guts to him about her feelings and then they were making out with her pressed to his front door. Did they move on to the bedroom to continue things, which Alexa was totally down for, or did he want her to leave? Should they just go back to the living room to talk? She had no idea what the fuck she was doing or what he wanted but she knew two things for sure: Baron Corbin was an amazing kisser and he had a really big dick.
Alexa hadn't said a word since the kiss had ended, she'd just been standing there and alternating between staring at him and staring at the floor for a good three minutes and it was just about to drive him mad when he realized that it wasn't the floor she'd been staring at. What had started off as a slight erection in the beginning had now turned into a full blown hard on that was tenting the front of his sweat pants. He reached down to try and cover himself.
"Shit, sorry Alexa. I never meant for it to...get so obvious."
That bright, devilish smile spread across her face again and she reached out to wrap her small hand around his dick, stroking it gently through his pants. He felt his knees start to go weak and he had to use all his concentration to keep from falling.
"You know Baron; I could take care of this for you."
She took a step back and slid her skirt down her legs before kicking it to the side, her shirt came next and then she was standing in front of him in nothing but a periwinkle blue lace bra that left her nipples and areolas on full display, the thong was made of the same shade of lace as the bra and he could see the heart he'd grown so fond of in the past eighteen weeks peeking through the lace. She gave him only a moment to enjoy the view before she reached behind her back to unhook her bra, letting it slide down her arms to land at her feet.
"So are you gonna show me to your room or are you gonna fuck me against the door?"
She was so nonchalant about it, like she was asking him if he preferred Coke or Pepsi. Baron had dated his fair share of bold women but never one who had asked about sex quite so boldly. It turned him on, the way she was so sure of what she wanted and it just so happened that he was a man who knew exactly what he wanted and right now that was Alexa.
"Well the bed came to mind first but then I thought of something even better. This little fantasy that I've had ever since you took that first bite out of that peach. You don't mind getting a little sticky, do you princess?" He grabbed her by the hand and led her into the kitchen. Sitting on the counter was a bowl of fresh peaches.
"I've been buying them since that first day. Every night before bed I'd eat a peach and when I'd lay down to go to sleep I'd think of you. The next day I'd draw whatever it was that I had been thinking about before I fell asleep. I guess maybe that's why most of them are uh…sexual in nature."
He pulled her tight to his body and she stood on her tip toes to try and feel more of him pressed against her now that they were skin to skin. Sensing what she wanted he planted a firm hand on each of her ass cheeks and lifted her up until they were chest to chest and held her there. The feel of her breasts pressed against his bare chest was divine and every time one of them took a breath her nipples rubbed against him and the sensation was causing shivers to slide up and down her spine.
He brought his face closer to hers and then whispered into her ear. "I want to see you eat a peach for me Alexa, I want to watch the sweet juices running over your body and then I want to lick up every last drop." He slid his nose along her jawline until his mouth was hovering over hers and she could feel his breath hot on her lips. "Once you're good and clean I'll finally get the answer to a question that's been plaguing me since the day we met."
"And what question is that?" she murmured.
"What's sweeter: a peach or Alexa Bliss?"
