I never realized how long the flight was until now, just waiting for you

And now I know... This is definitely the longest almost eleven hours of my life...

I appreciate it though. I've missed you so much

Madison smiled, embarrassingly smiling at her phone. At least her conversation with Finn was enough to numb her fear of flying. But texting back and forth didn't do them justice, at least for Madison. Last night was like a tease and it only made her miss the sound of his voice and that smile even more. She was disappointed knowing that she could be in beautiful Bray with Finn at that very second, instead of inside the awful, claustrophobic plane. If only she stayed by his side, through all of the bad...

Another half hour to go, love

Madison closed her eyes, briefly escaping reality as she succumbed to slumber, which was surprising. She could never sleep during any flight lasting over three hours. She'd always clutch either side of the arm rests and bite her lip, nearly hunched over hyperventilating. But it was the realization that Madison didn't want to miss any actual time with Finn that she decided catching up on a little sleep would be worth it.

"5:43pm," was all Madison heard the pilot announce over the intercom as he addressed the passengers, as she woke. They had finally arrived in Bray and what a time jump for Madison; having flown early in the morning from Florida. She was exhausted but excited to see her Irishman.

As Madison lugged her groggy self off the plane, she ventured through the busy airport to retrieve her luggage; where Finn was going to meet her.

She caught a glimpse of her reflection in a steel post she crossed, smiling just a bit. With her shorter new do, Madison wondered if Finn would even recognize her in the giant crowd that seemed to have followed her off the plane.

Madison pushed her sunglasses on top of her forehead as she tried to scope out her luggage among the others twirling around the conveyer. Just as she was sure she spotted her red luggage, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist from under her leather jacket; gently pulling her backwards.

"Found you," she heard that familiar voice whisper in her ear, followed by a kiss on her neck. Madison felt like it was the first time she ever met Finn; her heart beating like a drum, stomach in knots. They'd only been separated a week and it was like that teenage feel happening all over again. She closed her eyes, managing a steady breath while Finn turned her around.

"Hi," he greeted, warming her with that smile of his. He enveloped her in a hug; finally having her back in his arms was such bliss.

"Hey," she whispered, relishing the feeling of his figure towering over her; his warmth and scent so inviting, everything about the feeling of his touch greatly missed.

"This is so much better than Skype," he commented, "So much better..."

"I agree... And more importantly, I made it in one piece. That was the longest almost eleven hours of my life," she smiled too, placing her hands on his chest.

"How was the flight besides that?" He asked.

"Well, what can I say?" Madison smiled, "At least it wasn't eleven hours entirely... And having a little taste of England is definitely making me excited for when we go in January."

"That's good," He said, placing a kiss on her forehead, his hands on her shoulders. He grinned as he brushed his fingertips against the ends of her newly shortened hair.

"So you did cut your hair... I actually wasn't sure if you did or not. Skype can be misleading sometimes."

"It can be. So do you like it?"

"I do."

Madison smiled. "To be honest, I didn't think you'd even recognize me... I still don't whenever I look in the mirror."

"I'd never forget you, love," he said, his comment enough to make Madison swoon. Her heart pounded quicker; her entire body awakened in the short amount of time she was reunited with Finn.

"Ready to go?"

She nodded, looking back at the carousel of luggage. "The red one, right?" He asked, scoping out her bag.

"Yes... Thank you."

"No problem."

Finn lead Madison outside the airport with her luggage in tow; crossing the arrivals and into the parking lot. As he loaded the trunk of his car, Madison hopped into the passenger's seat. She didn't have a chance to buckle her seat belt once Finn got into the car as she felt compelled to look his way. He leaned in, unable to keep his lips off her's any longer.

"God, I've missed you so much," he mumbled through kisses, "This entire week scared the living hell out of me, as you already know. I just don't want to ever feel what it's like to lose you again."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left in the first place..."

"That's the thing... I deserved it though... I deserved every bit of misery I felt."

"But I'm here now and I'm not leaving again... Everything is behind us now," Madison declared. All of the chaos that ensued a week ago was behind them and moving forward was on the only matter on the horizon now.

"I can happily agree with that," Finn said, looking out the window and to the sky. He had something planned.

"I got something to show you, if we can make it in time."

Madison smiled. "As long as it's not another plane ride, I'm fine."

It was like a race against time for Finn and daylight. It took an hour and a half to drive from the airport to where and what he sought out to show Madison. He was in the mindset of a perfectionist; wanting everything he had up his sleeve to go without a hitch. He felt he owed it to her as it had been a long time coming.

"Are we going where I think we're going?" Madison couldn't help but ask as soon as they drove past mountains and trees; the suspicion that it looked just like the photographs from Finn's apartment in Florida... The waterside cottage.

"You're good."

"Are we staying there for the night?"

"For however long you want while we're here."

The sun was beginning to set beautifully right as Finn pulled up into the driveway of his waterfront cabin. It looked so cozy and so quaint. Even the view was as majestic, if not more, than anything Madison could ever imagine. Finn was right; pictures didn't do it justice.

"Wow..." Madison whispered, stepping out of the car with Finn.

"Finn... This is gorgeous."

"Not as much as what I want to show you," he said, lacing his fingers with hers. They walked through a stone path to the back of the cabin onto a deck overlooking the water and mountains in the distance. Madison was in awe of the sun setting, orange and pink hues melding perfectly together. She leaned against the rail with Finn's arms snaking around her waist. Resting her head against his shoulder, Madison couldn't think of a better welcoming to beautiful Ireland.

"That eleven hour flight was so worth this," Madison spoke softly, closing her eyes in sweet bliss.

"It's really somethin', isn't it?"

"It is... I'm glad I'm seeing all of this for the first time with you."

"And I'm glad you brought a little bit of that Miami sun with you... This is a first since before I got here that it isn't raining."

"Well, you're welcome," she teased.

Finn kissed his way down her neck, slowly turning her around. But his gentle, therapeutic touch against her cheeks was no match for the words about to come out of his mouth.

"This last week has made me realize how much you truly mean to me and I should have said this a lot sooner 'cause I've felt the way I have for so, so long now..."

Those electric eyes poured into hers; his hands holding her at her hips. "I love you, Madison," he whispered so sweetly, so sincerely. It was an incredible feeling as Finn expressed how he truly felt and the feeling was mutual without a single doubt.

"I love you," Madison finally and excitedly uttered back, followed by a kiss that literally sealed the deal. The entirety of the moment was perfect but aside from the beautiful sunset and incredible scenery, Madison and Finn were reunited and now bounded by love.

"You don't know how much I've wanted to say that since you left... Even way before that," he mumbled, his forehead pressed against hers, "That I love Madison Reed with everything in me."

"What did I do to deserve you?" Madison whispered, just as his hands cupped her cheeks. His touch was enough to bring her back down to earth, even though it was the only thing able to make her feel as light as a feather.

"I should be the one asking you that instead," he murmured, pressing his lips against hers again, "You're everything, Madison... Everything good in my life and everything I'm grateful for... My love."

"Finn..."

If it weren't for his arms wrapping around her, Madison would have fallen because of her weakened knees. She was beyond functioning; too entranced by the lovely words coming out of his mouth.

"God, it feels so good to say I love you," he whispered, surprising Madison by lifting her in his arms, deepening their kiss.

"Finn... Your shoulder," she mumbled against his lips. But before she could leap from his arms, Finn wrapped her arms around his neck and continued to kiss her.

"I'll be okay," he said, resting his forehead against hers. She was comfortable enough with his reassurance and wrapped her legs around his middle; swaying together as the sun set slowly drifted away.

"I don't know if this is a little forward or not, but I can't take another second of it... Will you come inside with me?"

"I thought you'd never ask... I'm going crazy over here," she whispered, on the same page as him. Even though there was much more for Madison to see although the burning desire to get reacquainted with one another in the heat of passion itched.

He needed to make love... He wanted it with the one being he loved more than life itself.

Walking towards and into the cottage was a challenge but one Finn was happy to conquer. He held onto Madison for dear life as their lips moved delicately yet fiercely together with Finn backing them into a bedroom. He didn't bother flicking on a light as whatever was left from the sunset seeped through the blinds... He had his hands full anyways.

Gently, Finn lay Madison on the bed; admiring the newest addition that complimented the sheets as she took her jacket off.

"Goddamn, you're beautiful," Finn breathed. He knelt on the bed, gently pushing her down so he could hover over her. He took his time showering Madison with kisses down her neck, slowly lifting her shirt off her body, then her bra. She let out the softest moan as his fingers danced along her naked flesh; illuminating her from within. "You're driving me crazy," Madison said, her voice raspy, sexy music to Finn's ears.

He was smirking, lips colliding with her's again. With her legs wrapped around his waist, she pulled his lower body towards her; signally what she wanted. "I need you."

"You've got me, baby," Finn said, kneeling as he pulled his shirt off with ease. Madison bit her bottom lip as she lustfully watched him undress, interested with his incredibly chiseled physique.

As she went to pull at the button to her jeans, Finn stopped her. He wanted to be the one to continue undressing Madison.

Once he tossed her jeans to the floor, his lips hovered over her leg, blowing cool air as he made his way to her thigh, her hip; enjoying her squirm with pleasure and anticipation. He was even more intimate than their previous times together. He wanted to savour everything about the moment; paying close attention to every single detail as if it's be imprinted in his memory.

"Make love to me," Madison whispered, placing Finn's hands on her hips. It was an open invitation and Finn happily accepted.

Coming together as one had so much more meaning now. They were bound together by love openly admitted by both; truthfully and meaningful. It was the perfect way to cap such a strenuous day; the anticipating of expressing their physical love complete.

Embracing one another was like the cherry on top; a sweet ending to such a whirlwind experience that was the last two week of their lives amongst all the fighting and accusations. It was all behind them now... All the darkness had turned into light, reminding Madison of how Finn described her presence into his life.

Nothing but their lustful moans filled the room as the two made love, growing deeper and more raged than the last. Nothing else mattered than the two of them, together and finally happy. The past was the past and with Madison being in Ireland, their future was nothing but bright.

Madison loved Finn... And Finn in turn, loved Madison.

"Good mornin', beautiful," Finn whispered, tightening his grip around Madison's waist just the slightest once she began to stir. She moaned tiredly, wiggling herself closer to Finn, his body heat just what she needed. Slowly opening her eyes, Madison took in the surroundings illuminated by the rays of sunshine seeping through the curtains. It hadn't been a dream; the night before a blissful reality with her Irishman.

"Morning, handsome," she whispered back, hands on his.

"How did you sleep?" He asked, kissing her neck.

"Good... Even though I did wake up a couple times, thinking this was all some kind of dream."

"No dream. Not even close, love... It was all real. Last night was just... Wow."

Madison laughed, feeling her cheeks burn with the reminder of everything about the night before. "Finn... It's way too early to make me blush."

"Well... With some of the things we did last night, I'd be blushin' too," he teased.

Madison gasped. "Finn!"

"I had to," he chuckled, beginning his adventure across Madison's bare back with his lips.

"Besides all that, I don't think I slept a wink last night," he said, his touch like soft, butterfly wings against her skin.

Madison shuddered as he made his way up her spine; resting at the back of her neck.

"Was afraid if I closed my eyes, you'd vanish."

"That's not happening again," Madison reassured, closing her eyes as Finn's fingers descended down her body, slowly, "I promise."

"Good... Because I like this too much," Finn breathed, holding her closer as he yawned, "I don't even think I can go back to sleep now. There's far too much to do today."

"What's on the agenda today?"

"Well, the camera crew has followed me here from Birmingham..."

"Filming?"

"Mhmm... But I promise that won't be our whole day."

"I don't mind... I love seeing it come together bit by bit. It makes me excited... What do they want to film anyways?"

"Today it'll be like back in Birmingham when they had me recount... We filmed some stuff, rehab wise, while you were gone... But while we're here they mostly want family stuff with my dad and my brothers... I also got a call from the old gym I used to run once they knew I was coming home. They'd like for me to stop by in the next couple days and see the kids trainin' and stuff too."

"So... Does your family even know that I'm here?" Madison asked as she was curious. Before, his whole family did know she would be joining for Christmas. But for the last week they were probably doubtful of that even happening...

"I couldn't bring myself to admit that I screwed up," Finn admitted, "Instead, my family was under the impression that you were caught up with work at the PC for awhile... I know I lied but-"

"It's okay," Madison cut in, "I understand. I kind of said something of the sort to my mom too."

"Well, they'll be excited to know that you're here now."

"I bet," Madison giggled, remembering Finn's conversation with his mother the night he told her. The sweet woman was ecstatic Finn was bringing a girl home, especially for Christmas festivities and all.

"I still remember the excitement in your mom's voice when you told her you were basically bringing me home for the holidays."

"Well, it's a first for her," Finn revealed.

"Really?" Madison was shocked, "Even when you lived here, you've never brought anyone home to meet your parents?"

Finn shook his head. "Never... When I said you were my first, I really meant it."

"Wow... So what can I expect?"

"There was talk about my mom and sister whisking you away one afternoon," Finn recalled from his conversation with mom, "Nothing too bad."

"As nerve wracking as that should be, it actually sounds pretty nice," Madison admitted. Bonding with his family really didn't seem scary at all. If his sister was anything like their mother, an inkling to Madison, then there was no reason to sweat the get together whatsoever.

"You'll be in good hands," Finn said reassuringly, "My brothers on the other hand will probably want to grill ya."

"I think I can handle it... I've met three out of seven Balor's so far and I can honestly say they're some of the sweetest, most genuine people I've ever met. I'm positive the rest will follow suite."

"That's a good way of lookin' at it, babe. All in all, my family will see why I'm crazy about this amazing, beautiful woman who has completely stolen my heart like a thief."

"The Harley Quinn to your Joker," Madison remarked. Finn wore the brightest smile as Madison turned in his arms to face him.

"You remembered that photo," he said out of genuine surprise. It was a few weeks back; the two completely stumped for Halloween costumes. As weird as it was, Finn googled himself and showed Madison past painted personas he embarked on in his early career in hopes of sparking some ideas between the two. Harley and Joker were a top pick, but Finn would do anything to get Madison into a skin tight catsuit like the Riddler before...

"Of course I did," Madison nodded, "And thank God for the Internet because it's one of my favourites. You know, you make a pretty damn good cosplayer, Mr. Balor... I'm pretty excited for when you return and I get to see the infamous Demon first hand."

"Hmm... Well in that case, I could always introduce you before then... Could make things... Interesting..."

"Aside from the bed, I've seen how intense you can get in the ring when you're the demon... Would it be much different?"

Finn traced the outline of Madison's lips, teasing a kiss between them as his eyes darkened with lust. "Baby, you haven't seen nothing yet," he said, the husky tone of his voice responsible for a violent shiver running up Madison's back.

"Mmm... You make the Demon sound is tempting. I like the sound of that," Madison whispered, placing a gentle kiss on his lips, "The things we could do."

"Could easily top last night."

"You sure about that?"

"Dunno... Guess we'll have to see."

"Possibly."

His finger's lingered at her cheeks before he finally connected with her lips, his own self shuddering as Madison touched his shoulder with her hand. "Till then, why don't I make us breakfast, then I can show you around the grounds?" He asked.

"Sounds perfect... But can I ask something?"

Finn nodded.

"Will you join me in the shower first?" Madison's question was tempting... Oh so tempting. All the talk of the night before and kinky cosplay left Finn in an uncomfortable position that needed tending to.

Of course Finn would take Madison up on her offer, but with a bit of teasing first.

"You tryin' to work up an appetite?"

The devilish looking smile spread on Madison's lips was sexy as she sat up from the bed. "Maybe I am... But maybe it's because I've been without you for so long... Or I want a repeat of last night," she offered, stepping out of the bed with the bed sheet wrapped around her naked body. The silhouette of angel walked across the room, leaning against the door way and looked his way. Finn clutched at the sheet underneath him, attempting to keep himself a little civilized all the while the brunette made his head spin.

"Either way, do you want to find out?" Madison asked, her sultry nature reeling Finn in like a hungry fish. He was at his feet in no time and whisked her in his arms in a flash.

"Madison Reed, you'd make a blind man see," Finn remarked, pulling the bed sheet from Madison's body. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he leaned through the shower curtain, turning on the water.

"And depending how this shower goes, we might even make the deaf hear again."
