A/N:Hey guys. As requested I have included the elevator scene. I would like to note that I am not very good at writing intimate scenes but hoping that I did okay at balancing steamy whilst keeping it somewhat tasteful. Hope you guys enjoy and happy reading. =)

Warning: This chapter contains adult themes.

• CHAPTER 25 •
"Elevator Scene"

Jeff couldn't help but smile at her humour.

"Trish…you continue to surprise me" he said as he stared into her eyes.

"I could say the same about you. I feel as if there is more to you than I could possibly find out in this lifetime" she replied, staring straight back into his emerald gaze causing Jeff to smile again.

"You may be right, but as for right now…let's live for the moment, because I don't want this moment to escape us".

Before Trish could reply he locked his lips with hers once again, capturing the taste of her in his as their tongues met one another once more. Trish couldn't believe that this was happening right now. She never in a million years thought that she would be locking lips with someone like Jeff Hardy, the unique enigma, her knight in shining armour….her boss. She felt like pinching herself to see if she was dreaming, but decided against because even if it were a dream, it was one she didn't want to wake up from. Lucky for Trish this was her reality. She found Jeff to be intoxicating and his kiss was as intoxicating as he was.

Jeff released her lips and began to trail kisses from behind her ear, to her jaw and down to her neck savouring every taste of her that he could. She let out a soft moan at the touch of his lips on her neck causing Jeff to smile to himself. She ran her fingers through his hair and tightened her grip pushing Jeff's head deeper into the crevice of her neck. Jeff ran his hands down the sides of her body, exploring every curve that made this woman beautiful and then slowly traced his fingers back up the sides of her body and gently lifting and pinning her arms above her head, pushing his body against her leaving no distance between them. With one hand, he locked her arms in place above her head and with the other, began to undo his tie whilst ensuring that his lips didn't leave the touch of her skin for one second. Whilst holding his tie, he brought his hands up to meet hers and intertwined his fingers with hers as he continued to hold her arms above her head. He stopped kissing her for a moment and looked into her eyes which were wide eyed looking for answers as to why he had stopped. Jeff took a moment to take in the beautiful woman that was in front of him, before locking his lips with hers once again. The heat generated from their passionate encounter was immense and neither one of them wanted it to stop. With his multitasking abilities, Jeff managed to tie Trish's hands above her head using his tie causing Trish to pull back and glance up at his handy work. She gave him a quizzical look.

"You turning 50 Shades of Grey on me now?" she asked between panting breaths.

Jeff chuckled. "Not my kind of thing babe. You're my kind of thing…the tie is… just a bonus" his southern voice responded, mimicking similar words to what Trish had said earlier.

"You simply amaze me Jeff Hardy" she replied before leaning in and capturing his lips in hers. Jeff's gentleman nature was now being overridden by the sexual beast that lurked inside of him, the same beast that had been trapped since the moment Trish had first bumped into him. He traced the sides of her body once again, memorizing every curve. He pressed his body firmly up against hers, feeling her tender chest heaving up against his. The slit of her dress allowed for easy access to her leg which Jeff gently brought up to his hip as his fingertips traced the back of her thigh. He gently glided his hand slowly higher and higher as he trailed kisses down her neck, along her collarbone and over to her exposed shoulder. His fingertips brushed the lace of Trish's under garments causing Trish to softly moan at his touch. Jeff returned to kiss her passionately once more as his fingertips slid underneath the lacey material as he continued to explore Trish's body. Trish had goosebumps all over her body. Not being able to touch him was proving difficult for her and it only heightened every tantalizing, tingling sensation of his touch. Every fibre of her being was waiting to be intimate with this man that captivated her heart, mind and body so quickly. But that moment was not meant to be as Jeff removed his hand from exploring her body and removed his lips from hers. Placing his forehead against hers he let out a big exhale and sighed. Trish opened her eyes, her hazel gaze full of confusion. Jeff intertwined and locked his fingers with hers, which were still tied up above her head. He finally looked up and met her gaze.

"I'm sorry Trish." He began. "Please forgive me. I just can't do this here. Not like this" he said with such remorse.

"I….I don't understand" Trish responded with much confusion, whilst trying to catch her breath simultaneously.

"I want you Trish. You don't know how badly I want you and this…this right here has only made me want you more, but I just can't do this like this. Not at Randy's gala, not in an elevator. You mean so much more to me than one night of fun. If I'm going to do this with an amazing, beautiful woman like you. I want to do it right. I'm sorry, I don't know how else to explain it but something in me is just screaming out that this is not how I want to start off our relationship." Jeff continued apologetically.

Though he couldn't quite find the right words to express how he was feeling, Trish understood exactly what he meant. She would be lying to herself if she said she didn't want him to take her then and there in the elevator but the fact that he mentioned the word "relationship" in his sentence brought a smile to her face. The fact that he wanted to treat her right and wanted more than one night of 'fun' with her meant the world and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Her heart grew ten times bigger with a warm fuzzy feeling at the idea of a promising future for the two of them. She couldn't hold that against him, she wanted the same thing he did and for once, they had something in common - the idea of a future together.

"Jeff…this may sound unexpected to you, but I understand exactly what you're saying and I agree with you completely."

"Really?" Jeff responded, a little surprised that she understood where he was coming from.

"Yes really." She replied with a smile. "I'm not going to lie. I was kind of looking forward to seeing how this would end. But all good things come to those who wait right…and you Jeff Hardy are worth waiting for."

Smiling his gorgeous smile, Jeff leaned in to kiss her once more, this time it was a softer, more gentler and more tender kiss, which spoke more volume than any other kiss they had shared.

"Jeff…" she said once his lips left hers. Jeff looked at her waiting for her next words. "You might need this back" she continued glancing up at her hands that were stilled tied together with his tie.

Chuckling softly, Jeff slowly untied the tie, releasing her hands and began to tie it around his collar.

"Maybe I need to wear ties more often" he said cheekily, causing Trish to smile as her cheeks turned a rosey colour. Trish reluctantly pressed the button which allowed the elevator to operate once more.

"Guess it's back to reality" she said smiling as she helped Jeff with his tie.

The elevator soon came to stop as the doors slowly began to open, revealing a beaming couple smiling at each other as Trish continued to adjust Jeff's tie into place.

"Well, well, well…what do we have here…" came a familiar voice.
