Title from Christina Perri's song. I claim no rights to that song or anything in the WWE, people or names.
I think I've struck another story here. Ultimately DeanXOC but. just a warning, there will be many paths of love and trials along the way to this coupling. Expect the unexpected! During this trek there will be moments of AlbertoXOC and KaneXOC as well.
"There is no way!" Kimi laughed, covering her mouth with a blush once she realized how loud she was being.
"Completely serious," Glenn replied with a chuckle, "I move pretty well when I try."
"Oh I have no doubt about that, I'm just surprised that you've competed in competitions," Kimi explained as she took a long sip of her wine.
She glanced to her glass and frowned. That was her second one, probably should be the last too, lest she turn into the horn dog she was at heart.
Glenn leaned back in his chair and shrugged.
"Do you dance at all?"
She shook her head viciously and said, "Nope, nothing beyond slutty hip shaking."
That got a look, one of interest and humor.
Grinning, she tilted her glass towards him for a moment.
"You show me how to dance properly and one day I'll show you my atrocious dancing. Fair?"
His tongue darted out and ran over his lips then he nodded.
"Sounds fair enough. Are you ready to head back?" he asked.
"Yeah, got an early start in the morning," she replied with a sigh.
As she gathered up her purse, he waved the waiter over and paid off the bill. It still made her feel weird to not speak up, to not offer some money, because that's what she was used to.
It was only their second dinner date but they'd had the Jacuzzi date, and then a few breakfast dates for coffee in the mornings as well and he was a gentleman for each one. Every time he insisted on paying, opening doors for her, and even pulled out her chair at dinner.
In her opinion they never had enough time together.
Once they were back in his car and headed to the hotel she let herself relax, having felt out of place at the overly nice restaurant.
"Thank you," she murmured for probably the tenth time, reaching over.
He gave her a gentle smile and released the wheel with one hand to slide it over hers.
"You're welcome, but you don't have to keep thanking me," he said.
"I will though, because you're going above and beyond anything I could have asked for," she replied, "And because two glasses of wine is just enough to make me a really happy, really thankful lady."
That got a laugh.
Adjusting in her seat, she leaned over and rested her head on his arm, enjoying the simple contact. He was solid and warm. At times she was barely able to restrain herself from touching him, even in the most non-sexual ways.
"Comfortable?" he asked.
Rolling her head up slightly, she asked, "Do you need me to move? I didn't mean-"
"No, no, stay there," he assured her, lacing their fingers.
Kimi smiled and nuzzled her face against his bicep gently before relaxing back against him. He smelled incredibly good anytime they went out, that mixed with his natural heat and the comfort he exuded drew her to him. All too soon the car came to a stop and he reached out, careful not to jolt her with the movement, and put it in park.
"Why is sleep a necessity?" she mumbled, sitting up and unbuckling.
"I know," he replied with a sigh.
Car locked and possessions in tow, they headed towards the hotel.
She wanted to hold his hand again but was uncertain. They weren't doing more than dating at the moment so she wasn't sure how he'd handle any public displays of affection. Some people were very adverse to it, especially when there was no label in place.
"Good evening," the desk clerk called with a smile as they passed.
Kimi and Glenn responded in the same manner and headed to the elevators, having grabbed their keys and put their bags in their rooms before heading to dinner.
"Are you doing anything special this weekend?" Kimi asked as they stepped into the lift.
"I'm going to try to convince the kids to go to this new sushi restaurant in town, but other than that I'm probably just going to relax. Finally got everything just how I want it and I'm going to enjoy it," he said with a chuckle.
"Sounds like fun actually. Eat a dragon roll for me?" she asked.
He grinned and reached out, pulling her close into his side. Without hesitation she wrapped her arms around his midsection and leaned into him.
God. There was something about him that made her not want to let go of him ever. To her disappointment the elevator stopped and they made their way off, it going unsaid that he would walk her to her room.
Hesitant, she stopped at the door and asked meekly, "Do you want to come in?"
Before he even spoke, she felt him stiffen.
"Not for that! I-I meant, ah, never mind," She scrambled over her words, cheeks painfully hot.
She couldn't get her key out fast enough. Why was she so shy with him still? Most guys she'd be joking about fucking their socks off by now. As she shoved the key in the door, she was shocked when he pushed the door open for her.
"It won't hurt anything to spend a little more time together," he said, his other hand coming to her arm.
As he rubbed her skin soothingly, she nodded and stepped in, swallowing thickly. She knew they wouldn't cross the sex boundary tonight but she was still nervous. They were rarely in each others rooms.
Tossing her purse aside and setting her phone on the night stand, she plopped down on the edge of the bed and looked up at him through her dark chocolate bangs. He approached slowly and sat next to her.
She had to laugh, long and loud. He looked surprised as she fell back on the bed, holding her stomach.
"I-I'm sorry. I just- God, I've been in many bedrooms, but I don't think I've ever felt this kind of tension. I feel like I'm in high school because the anticipation is making me giddy and nervous, and then I'm yelling at myself for being so immature," she explained to his quizzical look, still laughing, "I'm sorry. You can leave now. Save yourself the weirdness."
Glenn finally cracked a smile and his cheeks drew up, his eyes shutting as she finally heard a low rumbling laugh come from him.
"No, you're right," he agreed through chuckles, "It is different, but... not bad, right?"
She nodded and sat back up, smirking widely.
"Right. Not bad. I just feel like I'm acting silly, dancing around talking about it. Like, I know we're doing this slow and right. Which I'm all for. I'm just not used to it. Not used to there really being much between me and a man without the physical attention, you know? Besides Jon and Colby of course."
"I understand," he replied.
Some of the tension left the room when he laid back and put his hands under his head, a contemplative look on his face. Slipping her shoes off, she reached out with her foot and toed his knee.
"You're deep in thought there Mr. Jacobs," she teased.
When he looked over, there was something shining in those lightening blue orbs. Out of instinct, she bit her bottom lip as the corners of her mouth quirked back up.
"Come here," he murmured, reaching out.
Her breath stopped as her heart jumped into her throat, but she took the hand he offered. She walked on her knees across the bed until she was at his side.
"Lay with me."
Carefully she leaned down and ended up on her side, head laying on his chest while his arm pinned her body to his. Her heart raced and thudded heavily as she wrapped her free arm over his chest. His arm came up over hers and laid against her shoulder as he started playing with her hair.
A groan escaped her lips and she couldn't help turning into his touch.
"Feels so good," she sighed, eyes fluttering shut.
His fingers worked magic through her curls, lightly scratching against her scalp in a pleasing manner. It had goosebumps raising on her skin. To her irritation, she felt herself drifting in and out of sleep. She was startled slightly when he shook and she heard him chuckle softly.
"You have a cute snore. Small and sweet, like you," he murmured.
Blushing, she turned her face against his shirt and groaned.
"I hate that I snore."
"It's not bad. You wouldn't wake anyone up or anything. It's cute, I promise."
He started gently pulling on her locks as he worked through the ends of her hair and she accidentally moaned at the sensation. It made her shudder. The strangest thing was that it wasn't an entirely sexual feeling. It felt good like a massage or a warm bath would.
"You have magical fingers," she whispered, voice wavering as she floated in and out.
"I should go. You need to sleep," he said suddenly, still quiet.
As he took his hand from her hair, she groaned and finally her eyes came back open. He rolled onto his side, facing her, and she forced her bottom lip out slightly, pouting.
"You don't have to go," she said, reaching out and resting her fingertips on his jaw, "I'm not insinuating sex either. I just want to cuddle with you for a little longer."
He looked conflicted until she leaned up, pressing a very light kiss to his lips.
"Please?"
Being so close, she could make out the slightly different shades of blue in his eyes.
"You're very persuasive, you know that?" he sighed.
Her nose crinkled as she scoffed and giggled.
"What? Me? Never!"
"Let me get my shoes off so I can put my feet up on the bed," he said as she pulled away.
Nodding, she replied, "I'm going to get into my pajamas then since I'll be going to bed soon enough anyway."
She grabbed out her tooth brush and paste and sleep clothes, then headed into the bathroom. It didn't take long to clean her teeth and brush her hair and change. Twisting in the mirror, she made sure the shorts weren't too awful short, satisfied when her batman shirt covered at least to her belly button.
"Cute but not slutty," she muttered to herself with a smile.
When she came out, she threw her stuff back in her bag and looked over to the bed to find Glenn sitting up against the head board, button down shirt off so he was now in a white tank top and his black slacks, sporting gray socks on his feet. It took a lot of strength to stop staring like an idiot. She was going to need the patience of a saint not to jump that man at some point.
He looked up from his phone when she let out a low sigh and smiled.
"Batman huh?" he asked.
"Yup. Batman and Joker," she replied, climbing up into the bed.
"Who's your favorite batman actor then?" he asked.
She frowned in thought for a moment then said, "I liked George Clooney but I have to say Christian Bale probably is my favorite. And before you even ask, Heath Ledger. That man made the best Joker, hands down."
"Fair enough. Do you like any other superhero movies?"
She slid under his arm and took up his hand from his lap, toying with his fingers as she spoke.
"X-Men, Deadpool, Ironman, The Avengers," she said, "Not a fan of Superman, and never watched Captain America which I know is pretty big too. You?"
"I'm not a rabid fan but I like watching pretty much any superhero movie," he replied, turning his hand over so their fingers tapped together.
It was quiet for a while as they sat their, just cuddling and playing with each others hand.
"I like this," she murmured after a bit, "It's strange that I feel so... happy, to sit here like this. I'm usually pretty go-go-go."
"I am too, but I like to just enjoy the presence of company sometimes."
He started rubbing her upper arm again with the arm behind her back and she melted against him instantly. When fingers slid up to her shoulder then to her neck, she couldn't help but bite her lip. Gently she redirected his hand back to her shoulder with red cheeks.
"Sorry," he spoke gently.
"It's okay. My neck is sensitive," she said in answer, hoping to explain without going into real detail.
He made a noise of understanding and his fingers stayed on her shoulder, making her shiver and smile against him as he traced designs into her skin. Swallowing hard, she forced down the arousal creeping into her gut and shut her eyes as she leaned fully into him.
"If you fall asleep on me, Kimi, I can't leave," he said with a soft snicker.
Pursing her lips, she opened one eye and met his amused gaze.
"Now you've given me a reason to fall asleep on you," she retorted playfully, "Don't add fire to my arsenal or you'll really be stuck here tonight. You're like a giant teddy bear and I'd gladly sleep snuggled up to you."
His lips twitched as his fingers moved back from her shoulder into her hair.
"Well, when you put it that way, it almost seems like a crime to leave," he said slowly.
Surprised, her eyes widened and her face flushed slightly in delight.
"Really?"
"If you want," he replied.
"Well hell yeah I do!" she cheered happily.
Without thinking, she jumped up onto her knees and lightly clapped her hands to his cheeks, leaning in and kissing him excitedly. He took a quick breath but then his hands were on her waist, pulling her against him.
It felt incredible. From her hips to her arms she was flat against him. Taking a chance, she slowly, cautiously, ran her right hand down his neck to his chest, resting there as she deepened the kiss. His lips parted and she thought for sure he was going to tell her to slow down, but his tongue ran across her lips.
"Ah!"
Instantly she gave him access, barely controlling a moan as his slick muscle slid across hers. Her fingers clutched at his tank top in restraint. Butterflies and excitement stormed around in her guts as one of his hands slid lower on her back, fingers resting on the skin between her shirt and shorts. It made her pussy wet and her breath shake.
How did the slightest acts have those effects? Shaking off the thought, she snaked her hand down to the hem of his shirt and hooked her digits under, placing her hand flat on his stomach. The feel of his warm skin and thick abdomen only served to spur her on farther and she had to break their mouths apart to breathe.
"Why do you do this to me?" he groaned quietly.
She made a noise of uncertainty but slid her hand up farther on his torso.
"Kimi," he sighed, "We shouldn't."
"I- I know. I just-ugh."
Shaking her head, she sighed and fell back into his hold against his chest. She kept her hand under his shirt though, and rubbed his soft skin with her fingers as she let her eyes shut, practicing a mantra of self-control.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled.
"Don't apologize," he replied, "Trust me, I want to do more with you. I just don't want sex to be the basis of anything we have."
"I know, I don't either," she assured him quietly.
There was a silence and soon enough she started drifting off to sleep again.
