Chapter 20: Love
December 24, 2010

Author's note: just to not get in trouble, I should remind everyone that I don't own anything that has to do with WWE. Because of the rating, I will not be adding the actual event; sorry.

Thank you, sasatheshy and Dark Mage of the Sea, for helping me with this chapter.

Because Christmas Eve was on Friday, SmackDown was on Tuesday to give the wrestlers the weekend off. Pandora did not enjoy the fact that it was Christmas because of the religious aspects. She explained that to Edge and Kelly Kelly and they both told her the same thing: there was more to the day than that part and a lot of humans celebrated the holiday without the religion. So that day, Pandora ignored all things enemy religion and focused on spending the day with Edge. The two had a great time, going around the town all day, and were currently checking into a hotel. Edge took a peek at her and noticed that her leather jacket was beat up. "Don't you want another one?"

Pandora shook her head. "No. This was the first thing I ever got from the human world." She neglected to tell him that she stole it. "Besides, it's the best way to hide my wings."

Edge had to agree there. Those outside of the WWE Universe did not understand that her wings were real and would harm her when they realized that she was a real demoness. Edge got their keys and led her down the hall to their room. Pandora was looking forward to this night, especially since they were alone. Once they were in their room, Pandora smiled. "You know…when you rescued me, I never imagined that we would find ourselves in this situation."

Edge looked at her. "What situation?"

Pandora blushed. "A relationship."

Edge had to agree with that. "Yeah, I don't think people expected it…especially your Mother."

That caught Pandora's attention. "My mom? What does she have to do with this?"

Edge looked away, acting like he did not hear her question. Pandora pulled his arm a little. "Edge, answer me. Why does my mom have to do with this? Why did you mention her?"

Seeing that Pandora was not going to willingly tell him that she saved him, Edge decided to finally come clean. "I know what you did a few years ago." Pandora raised her eyebrow to that so Edge elaborated. "Next time you ask your mom to watch over someone and not tell the person, have her take down all your pictures."

Pandora blushed. He knew all this time. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Edge smirked. "You didn't tell me."

Pandora's blush deepened a little as she sulked. "Touché. But what does my mom have to do with our relationship?"

Edge sat on the nearby chair. "Well…when I was down in Hell…Lacti made me promise her something." Pandora raised her eyebrow and Edge continued. "If something were to happen to…you know who…she wanted me to look after you."

Pandora took off her hat and sighed. That admission made her feel a little rotten on the inside. He only saved her to fulfill a promise? Would he have done the same thing if Lacti didn't make him promise? Edge pulled her forward and had her sit on his lap. "Come on, Pani. Don't sulk. You're too cute to do that."

Pandora looked up. "Edge…I…"

Edge shut her up with his finger. "Think of it this way. Because of your human-hating Mother, you and I got together."

Pandora had to snicker at that. The demoness who hated humans helped her daughter get a human boyfriend. Edge grinned. "That's better."

Before Edge could go on, Pandora asked, "Wait…my mom hates humans…so why did she entrust me to you? I mean, this is a demoness who's looking forward to the end of days so she can see humanity fry."

Edge grimaced. "That sounds like her. She said that I'm different from other humans." He left out the part where Lacti told him that he had the potential to be a demon. He then changed the subject: "Anyway, I told you the truth when you asked me before. I'm not the kind of guy to let a cute girl like you be around those psychos."

Pandora blushed and nuzzled Edge's face, purring like a cat. Edge chuckled. "Settle down, kitty. You're getting me excited."

Pandora looked at him in coy surprise. "Really?"

Edge played hard to get; he stood her up and headed to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower." He peeked back at her. "Wear your sexy outfit when I come out." He grinned at her blush and closed the door behind him. He planned on doing something tonight he had wanted to do since mid-November. While a regular person would think they were acting too fast (since they only became official a few days ago), Edge justified it as him taking notice of her in that special way since he found out she saved him in Hell and those feelings intensified in mid-November. Also, he correctly assumed that demons did not have time-limits like the humans did.

Minutes later, Pandora was in her sexy outfit and waiting for Edge to get out of the shower when her phone got a text message. Seeing it was from Kelly Kelly, she opened it; the message said "Hey Pandora. There's something you should watch since I'm concerned about you with Edge" and had a link attached to it. Curiosity peaked, Pandora opened the link. It was a video of the live sex show that Edge and Lita did a few years ago.

Pandora's face fell and her heart sank as she continued to watch the video. Granted, she knew that Edge and Lita's relationship was steamy but she had no idea it was THIS steamy. She then started to get upset and a ton of questions began to form in her mind. Why did Edge not tell her about this? What made Lita so special that he would do this live? What did she have that Pandora did not? Even if the show would let them do this, would Edge do it live with Pandora or keep her hidden? Why would he even do this? While demons were more open about sex and their sex lives, they did have protocol; they only had sex in public when they had permission from those who would see them. When Edge and Lita were interrupted, Pandora closed the link; she could not watch anymore, even though the two of them never got beyond foreplay.

In another part of the country, Damien returned Kelly Kelly's phone to her bag and grinned. "Merry Christmas, Pandora."

When Edge came out wearing nothing but a towel, he found Pandora sitting on the bed, holding her phone and staring off into space. "Hey, what's up with you?"

Pandora looked up at him, showing her crestfallen face. She stood up and opened the link. Pausing the video, she looked at him. "Your relationship with Lita…"

Edge was taken aback by this. Why was she asking about his past relationship? He had already told her about Lita and was grateful that Pandora did not judge him and did not understand why everyone was upset by him seeing Lita while she was with Matt Hardy. "What about her?"

Pandora played the video and held up her phone to show Edge. "Care to explain this?"

Edge looked at the video and recognized it immediately. While he felt a little odd that his current girlfriend was bringing up something he did with his ex, this was old news and he did not understand why old news was affecting her like this. Not only that, but he thought that she would like what she saw because he assumed that demons did stuff like this all the time. "What about it?"

Pandora almost dropped her phone at how nonchalant he was being. She closed her phone and stared at him. All the while, she was trying to ignore that fact that he was wearing only a towel. "How could you not tell me about this?"

Edge raised his eyebrow. "I already told you about Lita."

Pandora hissed, "But you didn't tell me that you did that with her! You should have told me!"

Edge narrowed his eyes and sternly answered, "It's what I was and what I still am. You know what my title is; it shouldn't surprise you that I would do that. Besides, this seems like the kind of thing that you should be used to, considering where you come from."

Pandora was shocked by that statement. "Excuse me? We may be demons but we have standards! We don't screw in public without permission! How dare you assume something about my species!"

Edge growled. "Well, how the hell would I know? Your Mother didn't let me leave the house while I was in Hell!"

Pandora nodded, feeling her angry grow. "Exactly! So don't assume that you know everything about demons!"

They took a few minutes, glaring at each other. Pandora was the first to break the silence. "You still should have told me."

"Why? Why should I have told you? You haven't told me absolutely everything about you."

Pandora turned her back at him. She felt foolish about the argument for three reasons. She knew that he was the Rated-R Superstar and what he did with Lita was Rated-R. She also knew that he was the type of person who did not care what others (including her) thought of him, no matter what he did; that was one of the things that she loved about him. Finally, she knew that he was right to assume those things about demons and did not mean to upset her. Still, she hated that she got the link; it caused their first argument and ruined the atmosphere of the evening to her.

As she stood there, she heard him sigh. "Look, I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't mean to do that. Maybe I should have brought it up. But now you know and we can move past it. Right?"

Pandora stayed silent. She was still getting her thoughts straight and trying to get the video out of her head. After a minute of silence, she felt his hands on her arms, pulling her into his chest. Pandora blushed and gave a small moan. "Edge…"

Edge sternly said, "Give me your phone."

Pandora slowly raised her hand that had the phone. Edge snatched it and tossed it around the room. Pandora peeked at the phone as she pulled back and turned around, looking at him. Edge looked in her eyes and smirked, seeing something that she did not sense. "You're not mad. You're jealous of Lita…jealous of she and I almost did."

Pandora looked up at him. "I'm what?" Edge grabbed her neck with a mix of roughness and tenderness. She blushed and looked up at him. "Edge?"

Edge's smirk grew; this was the perfect to start the seduction. "You know…with everything that's coming up…I'm glad that you and I came here for an escape. Gives us a way to…explore other things in our relationship. Know what I mean?"

Pandora blushed. She knew exactly what he meant. She felt a vibration go through her body as her wings stretched a little. "Edge…"

Edge drew closer to her. "Tell me, Pani…"

Pandora bit her lower lip, forgetting the argument. "I want you, Edge. Do everything your title describes to my body."

Edge smirked. "As you wish." For the next hour, their relationship took another turn as Edge introduced Pandora to a new world. During their session, Kelly Kelly called Pandora and left her a message, saying that the text was not sent by her. Pandora was too busy with Edge to remember that her phone was even in the room.

Thanks to what they did that night, Pandora's flower opened up. Few humans understood why the flower opened up but it was obvious to demons. Damien was pissed that his plan backfired in the worst way. Hornesta and all the young demonesses were jealous of Pandora since they thought Edge was hot for a human. Undertaker thought it happened too fast but also knew that demons (and Lacti in particularly) did things differently. Lacti was outraged; while she knew that it was Pandora's life, she could not believe that her daughter mated with a human. Lacti contacted Pandora the following week and started to yell at her for doing so. Pandora plugged her ears and disconnected the chat. She did not care what Lacti thought about her relationship choice. Lacti, however, did contact Edge and warned him that she would kill him if he knocked her daughter up. Edge reassured her that that would never happen since Pandora told him what needed to happen to impregnate a demoness (twist the wings during the event) and that Edge was careful to not do that.
