Their chest were pressed together, cores brushing. Her knees were hugging his sides, almost digging painfully, but he didn't give a damn. She felt so good. So right. She felt like home.
His hand roaming her back paused to trace a scar, pulling the hottest moan from her, and he had to grab her harder. He slipped it around to her front, skimming over her ribs and tight tummy, slipping further up so all he had to do was inch his hand up, and he would be holding her breast. But he couldn't push it with her and wouldn't want to.
The fact that she was in his arms was surreal and made him pull her closer. All the times he imagined this, ached for this, and here she was. He dragged his tongue along the roof of her mouth, making her quake in his arms and press further down against him.
Enthralled by her reaction, he repeated it and got the same result. So he did it again, and this time he grabbed her hips and help against him, his cock twitching in response. She gasped into his mouth and pulled away, eyes wide, lips swollen.
"We need to stop," She said, chest heaving.
"One more kiss," He muttered, gripping her hips harder and leaning forward. She put her hands on his chest, but didn't stop him when he kissed her. In fact, her hands gripped his shirt tighter when he slipped his tongue back in her mouth. The kiss speed ip, turning rough and full of passion, both of their hips rocking into each others.
A burning sensation settled in his stomach, and his balls were already tightening up. Five minutes of kissing this women, and he was ready to come in his pants like a teenage boy.
A shrill ring erupted between them, forcing Jackie to jump away. They both starred at each other before Jackie broke away and went looking for her phone.
Seth took that opportunity to gather himself, scrubbing a hand over his face and adjusting himself. His mind raced with what just happened, but they kissed. An actual, full blown out kiss. A goofy grin spread across his face the more he thought about it, and nothing could erase it. Certainly not rational thoughts, like what the hell would happen after this, or the fact that he had a girlfriend. They kissed. That's all he could focus on.
Minutes ticked by, making the air in his bubble deflate little by little, until he saw her face. "What's wrong?"
Her brows were drawn together, lips pursed together like it always did when she was thinking. "Nothing," She exhaled, licking her lips.
"Who was it?"
"Creative."
The hesitance made his stomach tighten for a whole new reason.
Roman or Dean.
And he had a pretty good idea what it was about.
"What's getting it?"
"Roman."
And the bubble deflated. It didn't deflate. It down right popped. He knew it would happen, he just wasn't expecting these feelings when it did. He didn't expect to feel like he just got punched. "He'll make a good champ."
"Doesn't make it right for you."
"What can be done about it? It had to happen at some point, right?"
She didn't say anything, but sympathy rolled off her in waves, and he couldn't take it. "Do you mind giving me a ride home?"
The hurt she had almost hurt worse, but he just needed to be alone right now. The ride was silent, and made Seth think about how a perfect moment just got ruined. Tainted.
Maybe he was over reacting, but all he knew was that hearing someone taking his title felt like the wound being ripped open all over again. But that didn't give him the right to complete ruin this.
Half way towards his apartment, he paused and turned back around. Jackie, who was waiting in the car, got out as well, meeting him halfway. "What-"
Allowing one crutch to drop, he pulled her forward and crushed their lips together, pulling away just as quick, but leaving their foreheads pressed together. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, alright?" He muttered, getting the barest of nods.
He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, and accepted his crutch back with a grateful smile before turning and leaving.
xXx
"He's got potential."
"Poor technique."
"Maybe, but he's always asking questions and wants to improve."
"Doesn't mean shit if he's not improving."
"Jesus, what crawled up your ass?"
Seth ignored that and stood up heading towards the mini fridge to grab a water, attempting to wash away the bitterness in on his tongue. When he turned back around, everyone's attention shifted and they were looking towards the door. He followed their gaze and couldn't blame, them, but that didn't mean he was going to let them gauke her.
"Hey, come on guys," He complained, heading towards her. "Get back to work."
"You've got a nice set up here," Jackie greeted.
"Oh yeah, you've never been here before, have you?"
"You never invited me," She grinned, blue eyes sparkling.
"You needed an invitation?"
"Helps me feel pretty."
It was meant to be a joke, but it was complete bullshit. She was beautiful, even now with her black hair in a messy bun, and in casual cloths she was gorgeous and he was sure to let her know. "You're breathtaking." Her eyes widened a little, and she licked her lips nervously. "Makes it hard not to kiss you right now in front of everyone," He muttered, lowering his head the slightest inch towards her.
"Then why don't you?" She muttered, surprising the hell out of him, and making him glance over his shoulder. A smirk spread across her face as she stepped closer to him. "Or are you afraid they'll run back and tell your girlfriend?"
He jerked back as if he got slapped, and it would have been better if she did. That one hurt. Her attention was suddenly taken away and she focused on the ring instead, not sticking around to listen to his response. Good, because he had no idea what to say to that.
"You don't have to take his head off," She scolded, approaching the ring, making the two inside freeze, along with everyone else. "You don't actual twist, you realize that right?"
Had had to blink a few times when she jumped into the ring, completely astonished with what he was seeing.
"When you grab, remain loose, just start flexing and making it seem like you're putting a lot of effort in. Its then his job to twist around."
He remained standing where he was, completely enthralled as she took over the class, demonstrating how it should be done.
His buddy Mark came over and gauked beside him. "She just took over my class."
"What the hell is happening?" Seth wondered out loud.
xXx
He was either in heaven or hell. Maybe a little bit of both. Seeing her move around the ring effortlessly correcting things when necessarily? She looked at home, like she belonged there. Making it painful to know she couldn't do this everyday. Especially when it was so obvious this is where she belonged.
"See!" She grinned, hoping off her top rope perch. "Once your relax and loosen up, it makes it look natural."
"Sorry to disappoint everyone, but we gotta close up," Mark said, making everyone complain. Not that Seth could blame anyone. He had no doubt they all saw what he saw, but they also could experience what he couldn't, and that was to actually be in the ring with her.
"I'm impressed," He said as she hopped out. "You've still got it."
"I feel great," She admitted, a smile spreading across her face.
"You look great in there. Happy."
But that seemed to sadden her, her shoulders slumping a little.
"You still need a ride home?" Mark asked, appearing at their side and giving Jackie a chance to put her walls back up.
"I can give him a ride," Jackie said, and Seth was quick to agree. "Thanks for letting me take over."
"Any time, they love you," Mark grinned, nodding to the group of wrestlers to be.
"I'll keep that in mind," Jackie smiled, ending all conversation, leaving the two of them alone again. And unfortunately for Jackie, Seth didn't forget their previous conversation.
"Jackie-"
"You ready to go?"
He bit back his increasing frustration and let it slid. It made the car ride a little awkward, but that wasn't exactly new with them, now was it? It would have been a good time to talk about what happened, but the words never came.
"Come inside," Seth muttered, eyes finding hers.
"Alright."
Just as they entered Zahra was leaving to train. He's hoped she's already be gone, but was fine as long as she was leaving. "Training?" He asked, watching the looks pass between her and Jackie.
"Yeah," Zahra said, finally looking away from Jackie. She stepped towards him and suddenly they were kissing. Her body pressing flat against his, mouth moving sloppily over his, tongue shoved in his mouth. He responded slowly, and awkwardly, all too aware of the other women in the room.
The same women who was almost the same position yesterday.
After what seemed like minutes, Zahra pulled away, a smile on her lips. "See you later tonight," She said coyly, kissing him once more time before leaving, making sure to shoot one last look at Jackie.
"I'm gonna go."
That made him look, only to find she wouldn't look at him. "I think we need to talk."
"I thought we just did."
"No, God no. It's not like that."
Her eyes were still casted downward, but at that point she looked back up, the blankness eating away at him. "It's okay Seth. Thanks for a fun day.."
He wanted to stop her, but once more words failed him, and this time, it cost him her.
xXx
Something must have bit his ass, and while he had no idea what it was, he wasn't going to complain. Because whatever it was, it got him to Jackie's house again. They were going to talk today, even if it killed him.
There was a chance it could. She could tell him everything was a mistake and remind him like yesterday he had a girlfriend, or she could tell him they would make this work. Maybe he was asking too much from her, and maybe he was being selfish, but with her he couldn't gelp t.
She answered the door on the phone, a frustrated scowl stamped on her face. She looked between him and the lack of a car, and all he could do was offer her his best smile. She gave him a look, but let him slip past her.
"I thought we discussed this? I came in and signed the damn papers," She said to whoever was on the phone, heading towards the living room.
Seth followed her, resuming the seat he had last time. He watched her pace around the small room, clearly frustrated with whoever she was on the phone with. On her third trip by, he grabbed her arm and tugged her into his lap, forcing her to sit on his good knee, sitting away from him.
"I'm not going to change my mind on this. Why cant you people understand that?"
He had no idea what she was talking about, but that didn't change the fact that he didn't like seeing her upset. Trying to help, he massaged her shoulders, digging into the tense muscles. Some tension left her body, but she didn't relax until she got off the phone.
"Is everything okay?"
"No. Did you need something, or did you risk your health walking all the way here for nothing?" Jackie asked, rising off his lap.
"No, I just wanted to see you," He said like a scolded child, which he kind of was. But that seemed to soften her a little bit, and he had to stop himself from being happy to see the guilt in her eyes.
She looked away for a minute before looking at him again. "why don't we go out to get something to eat? We can talk about your recovery, and I… I guess we've got other stuff to talk about."
"Yeah, we do."
xXx
But that talk never happened, instead tey talked about everything but the kisses. It wasn't that they avoided it, it's just that they didn't have time. They talked about his recovery, his return, his school, where she trained. The list just went on. They never ran out of conversation, it just flowed naturally between them, reminding Seth just how much he craved that, and how much he wanted that.
Even now on the ride home,, they were still talking the only difference was Seth now remembered what they needed to talk about, and it wouldn't stop nagging him.
"No more walking to my house," She ordered, turning off the car and twisting to look at him.
"Seriously."
"It's more like hobbling." He grinned, earning a snort from her.
"Either way, no more. Got it? You don't need to get out any longer then you already are."
Her concern was touching, but the nagging in his head was steadily getting louder, forcing out any other thoughts. "We never talked," he muttered. She looked out the window, clearly uncomfortable with this conversation. "I need to know," He muttered, leaning towards her and grabbing her hand. "I need to know what this means to you."
She looked at him, mouth falling open, but no words coming out. And Seth needed to swallow any that wanted too. So he leaned forward and tugged her close, taking her mouth in a sweet, gentle kiss.
Just brushing their lips together over and over again. No rushing, no pressure. Simply him needing her.
"What are doing Seth?" She whispered once they pulled away.
"I don't know," He swallowed, barely shaking his head. "But I don't want to stop."
She was silent for a moment. But then…
"Neither do I."
Did last chapter not give you life like it did to me?
Maybe this one will. If not, let me say, I just got done with Chapter 15 and...
