Chapter 25

She didn't need to be told twice and booked it out of the arena, her feet pounding pavement. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pulled out the set of keys David had given her to the hummer and managed to get in there, screaming as Ron grabbed her ankle. She ended up kicking him right in the face, shattering his nose, and slammed the door shut before locking them, seeing Mark, Glen and Paul coming for her.

"Oh my god Randy!" She cried out and shakily put the key in the ignition, needing to get the hell out of there, cursing when she dropped the keys on the floorboard below. "Damn it!"

"JADE, GO!" Randy shouted, chasing Mark out of the building.

It was unbelievable how fast that man could run without looking like a damn fool. Randy picked up the pace, groaning when Mark suddenly whirled around clotheslined him, dropping like a sack of potatoes. His head cracked the pavement, leaving him lying there stunned.

Snorting, Mark walked over to the Hummer, trying for the door and snarled when he found she had locked them. "Open the damn door Jade." He called through the window. "Before I go and finish off your boyfriend."

"No, Randy!" She screamed out, knowing the windows were bullet proof so it would take a hell of a lot to break them, tears streaming down her face.

She couldn't leave him, but she also refused to wind up in Mark's clutches again. Jade swiped the keys from the floorboard and slid them in the ignition, turning it over as the hummer roared to life. Seeing Glen on the other side and put it in reverse, only to smash Mark's prized motorcycle.

"OH SHIT!"

"JADE, GO!" Ted shouted as he started fighting with Layfield again while Ron was nursing a broken nose and Cody was standing there in shock by what she just did.

"FUCK YOU!" She screamed at Mark, both him and Glen flying forward as she put the hummer in drive, her eyes dark with anger and fury, swallowing hard, her entire body shaking from head to toe. She seen David and sighed a breath of relief as the fight commenced.

"Where's Levesque?" Mark demanded, busy exchanging blows with David, careful of the hand that was sporting brass.

"Dealing with security." Glen snorted, taking advantage of Cody's surprise to physically lift him up and then drop him on what had been a motorcycle, watching as the smaller man contorted in pain. "Hurts, don't it?"

"Randy... get up." Ted urged, tackling Layfield to the pavement, hoping he hadn't cracked his skull.

Paul stumbled out of the arena as the security guards started breaking the fights up, seeing the hummer and what was going on, swallowing hard. What the hell had he done? "Fuck!" He hissed, trying to get to Jade, but knew that wasn't going to happen.

Jade nearly cried out in happiness when the security rushed out, but didn't dare get out of the hummer, not yet. She wiped the tears away from her eyes, cutting the ignition, and seen David, Cody and Ted rush over to Randy, who was slowly getting up. There was no blood, thank god, but she knew he probably had a minor concussion. She revved the engine and slowly started moving toward Mark and his gang, her eyes flashing before stopping as security forced them inside the building.

Mark was fighting the hardest while Glen was just laughing, anger coursing through his veins like liquid fire. Levesque was going to die, the traitor bastard, watching as the turncoat shouted orders for security to protect her. Interesting time to grow a backbone. There was a reason Mark didn't get attached to people, they made you weak.

"Jade, where's Jade?"

"Right over here, man, calm down."

Jade slowly unlocked the door and slipped out of the hummer after shutting it off, swallowing hard and looked over at Paul. "Thank you." She mouthed tearfully as Randy pulled her into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, holding her tears in. "Are you okay?" She demanded, pulling back to check his head, seeing him nod and smiled at him as she kissed him softly. "I'm alright, I'm fine." She assured him quietly, her heart pounding furiously in her chest.

"Jade..."

Ted was cut off when she hugged him tightly. "I was wrong Ted, I'm sorry." She whispered, pulling back before staring into his eyes. "Is everyone alright?"

"Besides Cody and Randy, yes." David said, studying Cody thoughtfully. "You landed on that bike pretty hard."

"Trust me bro, I'm feeling it."

"Jade, I'm so sorry." Paul whispered, knowing he was the villain of this tragedy. "Look, Stephanie didn't want this. It's my fault." He groaned, a hand flying to his bleeding mouth after Randy had whirled around and punched him in the mouth. He had deserved it.

Jade wanted to stop Randy, but knew Paul had that coming as she walked over, placing a hand on Randy's shoulder, looking up at him with pleading eyes. "What changed your mind?" She asked quietly, staring back into Paul's eyes, and knew Stephanie had left along with the girls.

"Mark is out of control." He muttered, holding his mouth from Randy's punch, knowing that would leave a mark for awhile. "Look, I only did it because I thought Randy was going to hurt you..."

"But he didn't. He loves me." Jade felt the tears slide down her cheeks, wrapping her arms around herself. "Do you have any idea what it was like being with that monster, Paul?" She whispered, sniffling.

"Did he...touch you?"

"Fuck no, I hurled a lamp at his damn head and got away."

"Good girl." Paul said quietly, knowing damn well what 'Taker could do to a woman. Look at his own wife, who he loved more then life itself, god help him. "Stephanie took the girls and left the country." He whispered, knowing it was for the best. Some might consider that going to extremes, but this had the possibility of turning into an extreme situation. Fuck that, it already was.

"Smart woman."

"I-I don't want him, Paul." She whispered, leaning back against Randy when his arms wrapped securely around her waist. "I love Randy, Paul, please..."

"Jade, I know..." His voice was soft as he placed his hand on her shoulder, watching the others like a hawk even though he knew he deserved a beat down. "I was so consumed in my own anger for what Randy did to Steph that I forgot how evil and cruel Mark is..."

"Randy has nothing on him as far as cruelty." Jade stated, rubbing the back of his head gingerly and winced when she felt a lump. "You need to get that checked out."

"Later. Let's get the fuck out of here."

"And get suspended?" David arched an eyebrow. Not that HE had to worry about that, he was technically still on vacation, it was just them.

"Man...Mark's going to bury our careers by running us off..."

"Randy..." Jade looked uneasy about this, staring up into his blue eyes and caressed his cheek tenderly with the back of her hand. "Stay here. I'll go back to the hotel."

"Alone? I don't think so, Jade. Do you have any idea what the Deadman is gonna wanna do to you after he sees what you did to his motorcycle?"

"I don't care about that! Legacy can't be run off!"

Paul sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I'll have security watch her."

"Like that's gonna stop the Deadman?"

He had a point.

"She stays with us." Randy said finally, wincing and cupped the back of his head. "Security, Legacy, David, we should be enough to protect her in a fucking dressing room. Someone got a-" He accepted the cigarette Cody was instantly handing him. "I should hire you to be my assistant."

Cody just shrugged. "I've learned that's the best way to keep you from killing something."

"Not to mention me." Paul interjected, staring back at Jade with such sorrow in his eyes. "Baby girl I'm so sorry..." He rarely called her that, only when the situation was serious because he truly did love her like she was his sister. "Stephanie had nothing to do with this. It was all me."

"I know, I believe you." She whispered, walking over and wrapping her arms around his neck tightly, trembling a little. "Promise me you won't let Randy get hurt." She whispered in his ear so only he could hear.

Paul sighed and closed his eyes, knowing Mark was going to be out for revenge. "I'll do my best, that's all I can say." He whispered in return, feeling her nod and pulled back. "I'll make sure there's at least twenty security guards and a second door in the room for escape, just incase."

"Smart move."

"I know you don't think much of me right now David, but thank you for all your help."

"Don't mention it, ever." David said, shooting Randy a dirty look. "Now that you got spazzoid on your team, can I-" He sighed when Randy shook his head no. "When this is over Orton, you and me, we're going to go around."

"Looking forward to it, let's get inside."

"I knew you weren't a traitor, you know that right, Ted, right?"

"Uh huh..."

Jade walked inside the arena with them, Paul in front, holding Randy's hand tightly as he flicked his cigarette away. She was worried about his head, but knew he would be stubborn about it. She couldn't believe all that had transpired in the past few weeks.

"Paul?"

"I know, you quit. I don't blame you. We already have a replacement, though she's nowhere near as good as you."

Jade bit her bottom lip, nodding. "Thanks." She whispered, blinking tears away. She didn't want to cry anymore as they were guided into a dressing room with a leather couch, big screen TV and even a food tray. Jade sat down and leaned her head back, closing her eyes.

Ted seen how stressed Jade was and knew things were going to get more intense before they got better, hoping she would stick it out.

Cody watched as Randy paced, sighing and rubbed the back of his head, wincing when muscles in his back pulled, feeling the scrapes from being dropped all too keenly. "You alright, sis?" He asked, dropping down beside Jade, offering her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. "Okay, stupid question. You surviving?"

"Always." Jade replied quietly, taking the clip out of her hair as the auburn locks fell down her shoulders, the loose curls barely there now, sighing and flashed him a smile of her own. Though it didn't reach her eyes.

Was this really worth it? Was being with Randy worth it if they couldn't have any time alone, to build their relationship? They were so busy strategizing over how to keep her safe that Jade wasn't feeling like she was living anymore and wondered truly if staying on the road was worth it. Her eyes were closed as she contemplated, knowing her answer already. It was yes to all of the questions and beyond.

Randy seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Jade, frowning as he paced back and forth, ignoring Paul's protests when he lit another cigarette.

"He won't listen." David drawled, amused. "He's a fucking chimney."

"Look, Jade and I are trying to build something together and this fucker ruined it by getting the resident psychotic involved because he thought I'M psychotic. Excuse me for needing a serious fix right now."

Jade heard that as her eyes opened, staring back at him, and suddenly stood up from the couch, stopping him from pacing. She took the cigarette from him and brought his face down to hers, passionately kissing him, knowing that's what he needed at the moment. Some reassurance that she wasn't going anywhere, that she wasn't at her breaking point. Nothing was going to break her as she hardened the kiss a little, burying her hand in his hair and squeezed it between her fingers, moaning softly as their tongues entwined together, not caring who was watching at the moment. When she needed to breathe, Jade pulled back and smiled, wiping the gloss from his lips and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

"Dayum..."

"Uh huh."

"She got a sister?"

"We already asked man, nope."

Randy followed her into the bathroom.

Jade was just pulling her shirt up over her head when Randy walked in, her green eyes darkened and moaned as he took her into his strong arms, their lips meeting again. "Randy..." She whispered, needing to feel his touch, his kisses and him inside of her. "Shower with me." She already turned the warm sprays on and felt her back press against the concrete wall while he bent down to remove her jeans. Needing this more than words could say and she knew he needed it too.

Randy wasted little time in removing his own shoes and clothes after stripping her down, wrapping Jade in his strong arms, showering kisses over her face. "I love you." He murmured against her lips, lifting her up, feeling her legs wrapping around his waist and pressed her back into the wall. His lips moved down her jaw line to her throat, biting and sucking her sweet flesh. Groaning like a man who was dying of thirst and she was the cool drink he needed.

"I know, I love you too." She whispered softly, feeling him pull her from the wall and into the shower. The sprays washing over them, Jade tilted her head back, gripping his short black hair in her fingers again, moaning softly at the feel of his lips and tongue massaging and caressing her neck. "Mmm god that feels incredible..." She mewled, her eyes drifting shut, feeling him brush against her and gasped. This would have to be fast, but damn it she needed him. "Randy, please I need to feel you...I need you."

He didn't care if they had the time or not, he wasn't rushing. This was Jade, he wanted her, oh god yes he wanted her, but he wanted to take his time and enjoy her too, not knowing when they'd find another moment's peace. He brushed against her again, guiding the head of his erection up and down her wet slit, his mouth working down across her collarbone.

Her fingers ran through his hair, down his neck to his shoulders, gripping them, groaning as he teased her, her pussy quivering with anticipation and pure need. "Randy, please..." She moaned when his lips captured hers, moving her head from side to side, deepening the kiss more. "I love you so much..." She whispered in his ear, crying out softly when he began sliding inside of her, slowly, methodically, her lips sealing to his neck. Her hand massaging the back of his neck while her other was pressed between them over his rapidly pounding heart. "Randy, take me..."

Gritting his teeth, Randy buried his face in the crook of her neck, kissing Jade's pulse point as he slowly sheathed himself inside of her. Feeling her inner walls clenching around him as if refusing to let him pull away. "I love you, Jade." He said again, never able to tell her those words enough, meaning them with everything in him. "You feel so good, baby." He whispered, finally beginning to move in her.

"Mmm you feel wonderful..." She moaned out in contentment, her walls stretching to accommodate his massive size, her breath completely stolen as her fingers buried in his hair. It was long enough for her to grip, but nothing more than that, which she loved. He was so sexy, she loved him so much, and his smile melted her heart. "Ooohhh Randy...oh don't stop..." She knew if he did her body would scream at her in protest, holding him tightly as she began moving with him once she was fully used to him.

"Didn't plan on it baby." He muttered, feeling her fingers in his hair, massaging his scalp and moaned softly.
