A.J. Styles! A.J. Styles! A.J. Styles!"

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the ring The Phenomenal One...A.J. Styles!"

A.J. walked out on stage, grin wide as he let the energy from the crowd flow over him. He kept his grin on his lips as he looked at the angry, scowling man in the ring. "I'm going to come down there and kick your ass, Owens!" He was pissed off after his lunch with Chris. To find out that Shane was involved with this club and Seth had deliberately broke them up was to much. "Don't think I'm going to be nice about this either, asshole!" He glared at Kevin, watching as he paced. He didn't have the time to worry about Shane, for now he'd take his anger out on Owens. Hopefully it would be as good a fight as usual.

Shane watched the match from his office, sighing as he kept his gaze on the short brunette. He could see the anger radiating off of A.J. and wondered how well their ride to the club would go. So caught up in his thoughts, he didn't hear Danial as he walked in. Shane jerked in surprise at the hand placed on his shoulder, turning to look at the frowning man. "Danial?"

"You ok, you've been in a fog since you got here. If it's the party you can go, I've got things here."

"No, that's not until this weekend and the gifts are at the apartment already. It's nothing, what can I help you with?" Shane shook his head as he grinned at his GM. "Hit me with the latest and greatest for tonight." He chuckled at Danial's laugh, taking the stack of papers handed to him. Forcing his thoughts away from A.J. and the night ahead, he and Danial worked on next weeks show. By the time the show was over, they had their lineup and were ready to go.

"Tell Brie we hope the baby gets here soon. Can't wait to see her." Shane chuckled at the look that crossed Danial's face.

"You know, I never expected to love someone before seeing them but I can't imagine not loving our daughter. I wonder who she'll look like, hopefully her mother." Danial grinned at Shane's laugh.

"We hope she looks like both of you, that way she has the best of both." Shane grinned, shaking his head he turned to the desk behind him. "You two should take a vacation. That would be good for mom and baby."

"We talked about it but I have a feeling I'm going to be needed here."

Shane glanced over at the man behind him, a frown curving his lips down. "What's on your mind, Danial?"

"If you're in love with him why won't you just tell him?"

Stomach twisting in surprise and apprehension, Shane tried to figure out just what Danial knew. Turning to face him, Shane leaned back on his desk, thighs resting against the wood. "Well, I'd ask you what do you mean but I must be pretty obvious if you're saying something." He watched as bright sky blue eyes danced with laughter. "You know it's not funny right?"

"Actually it is. Remember the hell you guys put me through? I hope he twists you inside out if we're honest about it." Danial could see it was already happening, wondered how long Shane was going to put him and A.J. both through the ringer. "You're going to eventually give in, do it early and save you both the stress of wondering."

"It's not that easy, damnit Danial if it were I would have told him when I realized it." Shane ran a hand over his neck, jaw clenching in frustration. "There's a mess that needs to be cleaned up before I can tell him. Problem is he may not believe me when that time comes."

"Are you serious? You must not see his face when he looks at you." Danial chuckled as he shook his head. "You two would be blind idiots to how you feel. The only way to get you to do anything is if there's a disaster about to happen. With A.J. you've got to use kid gloves, he's fragile in a way that isn't seen by a lot of people."

"He's been through a lot and I'd like to be the one who doesn't hurt him." Shane could feel the words twisting through him. Knew it would be so easy to set them free but he still had baggage of his own he needed to handle. "There's a lot he doesn't know and I guess I haven't really wanted to tell him."

"You and Marissa?"

"That was months ago, before I got involved with him. I made sure there were no ties other than the boys." Shane frowned as he thought about his ex. "She mentioned Allen today when she called. Said she thought he was cute?" Shaking his head Shane looked up at Danial's chuckle.

"She wouldn't last two minutes with him." Danial laughed, shaking his head. "A.J.'s not the same outside the ring as he is in. He's an asshole but he's a lot nicer about it." Danial chuckled at Shane's soft huff. "Leave it to you to fall for someone so damn difficult."

Shane sighed as he admitted the truth of Danial's words. "He's not really as difficult as he pretends. There's more to him than most know. He's a night owl on his nights off and prefers health food over junk food." Shane felt a smile curve his lips as he thought about what he'd learned about A.J. "Danial, he can dance." He grinned at his friends laugh. "No seriously, not like that, he can really dance and that was a surprise."

"Well looks like Fred Astaire found his Ginger Rogers."

"I don't know, feels like it but I don't..." Shane broke off at the sound of someone outside the door. Motioning for Danial to hold on, he walked to the door and opened it. Looking out in the hall he didn't see anyone. Shaking his head, he frowned as he stepped back into the office.

"You ok?"

"Thought I heard something." Shane looked back, checking the hall again before shutting the door. "If I could tell him and things be fine I would."

"What's stopping you?"

Shane frowned at the question, unsure if he wanted to know the answer. Shaking his head, he pretended not to have an answer.

Danial grinned. "Well, whether you admit it to him at least admit it to yourself." At Shane's stubborn look, Danial laughed. "Come on Shane, who am I going to tell? You have feelings for him and that's a good thing. He's brought some life back to you and trust me, it's been good for not only you but him as well."

Shane sighed as he admitted that Danial was right. "Still can't tell him yet, have a few things I need to explain to him before I can do that."

"Well you may want to hurry up because the longer you wait the worse things could get."

"You just don't know the half." Picking up his coat and keys, Shane followed Danial out the door and down towards the parking garage. He missed the man standing behind a stack of packing crates, unaware of the blazing blue gaze focused on him.

A.J. watched Shane and Danial as they walked away. Running a hand across his stomach, he tried to stop the fluttering of his nerves. Shane had feelings for him, Shane had feelings for him! The thought raced through him, shocking him. How had he missed it, was he that blind to the signs between them? Or had he known and willfully ignored it? He jumped when his phone rang, jerking him back to where he was. Reaching in his pocket, he hit the answer button without looking at his caller id. "Hello?"

"Allen, where are you, Alistair said you had come to the car but went looking for me? Are you ok, do I..."

"No, I'm fine just had something to do real quick. I'll be right there, ok?" A.J.'s hand tightened around the bag as he headed towards the bathroom, he needed to do something alright. Maybe what Chris said was true but that didn't mean things wouldn't work for them. Not if what he'd heard Danial and Shane discussing could be believed. "Give me about ten minutes, I'll be right there."

"You're sure everything's ok?"

"Yeah, just, uh, just give me ten minutes." A.J. hung up before Shane could answer, hands shaking as he ducked into the first bathroom he could find. Heading to one of the stalls, he glanced around before walking in and closing the door.

Walking out of the bathroom five minutes later, A.J. closed his eyes as he tried to keep his thoughts from drifting. He had a surprise for Shane, if he could make it to the car. Glancing down at the small black remote in his hand, he adjusted the setting. Sighing in relief, he pressed his flushed face against the cool wall. Pulling out his phone, he dialed Shane's number and waited for him to answer.

"You ok?"

Sucking in a shaky breath, A.J. swallowed as he struggled to answer. "Yeah, I, uh, I'm on my way." Taking a deep breath, he walked down the hall, headed towards the garage. "I'll see you in a few?"

"I'll be in the car."

A.J. kept his thoughts as focused on his destination as possible. The vibe in his ass, however, was making it difficult, especially after he'd over heard Danial and Shane. "He wouldn't lie to me about something like that." He whispered, looking at the man standing at the end of the row A.J. gave him a small wave. He didn't want to draw to much attention to himself right now. It was difficult enough having to explain why he arrived in a limo. It would be an even bigger problem to explain why he was leaving with Shane.

By the time he climbed into the back of the car, he was shaking. Looking at the man sitting there, he held out the small black remote. Hand shaking, he watched as Shane took it, confusion written across his face. "It's set on four right now." Shivering as he sat down, A.J. watched as understanding dawned on Shane's face. "We have the time, right?"

Shane pressed the button, turning the vibrator up. He watched as A.J. shuddered, his hips moving restlessly against the seat. "Alistair, give us a tour route." Shane said into the intercom. He kept his gaze on the panting man across from him, relieved when the the car started moving. "Allen?"

"Please tell me you're not going to make me wait all night." Swallowing back a moan, A.J. watched through passion hazed eyes as Shane moved to the space next to him. "Shane, seriously, hurry up and..." He broke off as Shane turned the vibrations up. Panting, A.J. reached for the button on his jeans. He needed to relieve the pressure on his cock before he came. He let out a small sound of frustration when Shane stopped him. "Oh god, you're going to..." He stopped at the hand now cupping him through his jeans. Moving his hips up, A.J. shivered as Shane moved him around on the seat. His hips moved in small circles as he tried to ease the tension building in him. "Shane, please."

Shane couldn't stop his hands from trembling as he reached for the man in front of him. "We could have gone back to the apartment, more room." Undoing his pants, Shane raised A.J.'s hips, jeans sliding down his legs. Watching as the bearded, tan face relaxed in relief, Shane let out a soft sound of sympathy. He ran a hand across the taut stomach, moving his free hand down A.J.'s thigh, lifting his leg up and on to his shoulder. "When did you have time to do this?" Shane watched as his hand moved down and over the small, shining base of A.J.'s plug. "Looks like this little guy is really happy to see me." He chuckled as he brushed a finger over the base, watching as A.J.'s hole clenched around it. "If only you could see how gorgeous you look right now." Shane brushed his fingers around the tight ring stretched around the plug. He listened as A.J. moaned, a soft sound that floated around them. "You won't have to wait until tonight."

"Thank god." A.J. reached down and pulled Shane over him, groaning as he settled hard and heavy between his thighs. "Hurry the fuck up, McMahon." He panted, grinning as Shane reached down and smacked him on his hip. "Fuck, we don't have time for that." Shaking, A.J. tried not to whine as Shane removed his plug, hissing in relief as it was replace with something much more desirable. "Bout time, why do you take so long."

"So I can hear you make that sound when I enter you." Shane groaned, shuddering as A.J. clenched around him. Pulling back, he sucked in a breath at the tight hole wrapped around him. Thrusting forward, Shane held on to AJ.'s hips, holding him in place as he set a bruising pace. He could feel his desperation from earlier today creeping back in. The uncertainty of whether or not he would have this man after tonight ate at him.

Leaning forward, Shane held A.J. close, wrapping one arm around his waist, he used the other to hold them up. "Hold on to me, Allen." He shivered when tan arms wrapped around his shoulders. They could afford to be late to the club, he wanted to make sure that A.J. wouldn't be able to think about anyone else but him tonight. "I plan to fuck you in the shower once we leave, then again on the kitchen table. I plan to eat you and what ever we have in the fridge." He held on the the shuddering man beneath him. Breath leaving him faster as A.J.'s hips moved on their own, Shane kept talking. Whispering to A.J. what he planned to do to him in each room of the apartment.

A.J. sucked in a quick breath, body drawing up tight as Shane thrust harder. He couldn't stop the cry that left him as Shane brushed his prostate, repeating the action with three more quick thrusts. Pulling Shane closer, A.J. moved his hips against Shane's, desperate to escape the coil holding him prisoner. "Shane, please, before I lose my fucking mind!" Arching closer, A.J. moaned as his orgasm poured through him, holding Shane until he'd come as well. A.J. groaned as his body went limp. "You always want to make me wait, bastard."

Shane let out a breathless chuckle as he looked down at A.J. "Stop fucking complaining, you like it as much as I do." Groaning as he moved up and off of A.J., Shane studied him as he sat up. "I got a visit from some friends earlier today. Told me I needed to talk to you about something's."

A.J. looked up at Shane, body heavy with satisfaction. Shaking his head he searched for a reason to Shane's statement until... "Juls came to see you."

"She and Wyatt along with Seth." He reached for the both of tissue next to him before leaning forward and cleaning A.J. as best he could. At the other's sound of surprise, Shane shushed him. "We should talk once we leave the club. I don't want there to be any more secrets between us."

A.J. nodded, stomach churning at what Juls could have said for Shane to be so serious. "You're not leaving me here alone are you?"

Shane blinked at the question, mouth curving into a dark smile. "I meant it when I said you are mine. So until then, I have no intention of leaving you anywhere alone tonight. Unless you're dancing, then that's all you."

A.J. grinned, excitement racing along his nerves as he straightened his clothes. "Sadie invited Chris, he said he may not show up but she can be pretty persuasive." A.J. ran a hand through his hair, grinning over at Shane. "How long are we staying?"

"As long as you wish." Shane wouldn't deny him his fun or his friends, he only wished he had more time to explain things. As it stood now, he would have to tell A.J. as much as he could as fast as he could. Watching as the car pulled up to Red's, Shane smoothed a hand over A.J.'s shirt. "Don't go anywhere I can't find you Allen."

"You'll find me, I fucking smell like you." A.J. grinned as he waited for Alistair to open the door. Turning back to Shane he sucked in a quick breath as Shane kissed him, making him moan. "May, uh, m-maybe we can leave early?"

Shane grinned, willing to agree to anything. "If that is what you want then we will do it." Following A.J. as he left the car, Shane gave Alistair a small nod. "Make sure you check on Alexander, I'll call you if we want to leave early."

"You sure boss, I don't mind staying."

Shane shook his head, dark gaze on the brunette headed towards the doors. "Just make sure you check on Alex. After what happened I don't want him alone. If you come back bring him with you."

"Will do, want us to come in or..."

"Come in, we don't have anything else planned for tonight." Shane looked around the crowd outside the club, a frown curving his lips down.

"Shane, come on!"

Looking up, Shane watched as A.J. stood by the door, crooked grin on his lips, face flushed with excitement. "You two come in and relax, may be the best thing for us all." Shane nodded to Alistair, giving him a small wave as he turned and headed towards the main doors. Tonight promised to be one of the longest nights of Shane's life.
