Chapter 26

His eyes closed as he let the sensations wash over him. No other woman ever affected him the way Jade had, did, was doing. She could light him on fire with just a look, amazing. They moved together perfectly, his hands moving to cup her ass, squeezing and pulling her into him.

This was what they both needed, just time alone to make love and be with each other, to help build what was between them. Jade didn't want to lose him and knew if they couldn't have moments like this then there would be no hope. Jade cried out softly as he increased the pace, kissing him before wrapping her arms around his neck, pressing her forehead against his, her breath erratic right along with his. The feeling of him gliding in and out of her was something Jade knew she would never experience with another man again.

"Oh Randy..." She breathed against his lips, running her hands down his muscular arms, loving the ink on them, especially his tribal ones and kissed down his neck.

"Cum for me, baby; cum for me, Jade." He whispered against her lips, his eyes boring into hers, piercing her soul.

She already owned his. His mind, body, heart and soul. It was all hers. He freed one hand to skim down her side, tracing over the soft curve of her stomach to snake between her legs, flicking his thumb against her throbbing clit, holding her still when she bucked against him.

"Oh! Ohhh Randy!" She cried out harder against him, her thighs tensing. Damn he knew how to make her cum harder than any man, there was no denying it. Jade squeezed her eyes tightly shut, that hot coil inside of her springing free and shrieked out his name as it echoed off the bathroom walls, cumming hard. Her walls tightened around his hardened shaft in a vise grip, almost to the point of suffocation. "Randy!"

That was Randy's undoing, hearing her screaming his name. "Jade, fuck, baby!" He bellowed right before his jaw clenched, cumming in her almost violently, never stopping his thrusting, drawing out as much pleasure as he could, for both parties. Finally, he slumped against her, pinning her between his body and the wall, feeling the water beating down on his back, groaning into her neck.

She was completely satisfied and smiled, rubbing the back of his neck gently as they both came back down from the heights only they could reach when they were together. Jade's heart felt like it would fly out of her chest with how fast it was pounding, but that was good. It wasn't from fear. It was from the desire and aftershocks flowing through her body from her bout with Randy.

"I love you, Randy Orton." She murmured, feeling his head lift as their eyes locked and kissed him softly, wrapping her arms around his neck, pressing herself tightly against him.

"Good." He said with a grin, resting his head against hers. "I love you too."

"You fucks done in there? I gotta fucking piss!"

"Sorry, we haven't even showered yet!"

Cody and Ted could be heard laughing their asses off.

Jade giggled softly and shook her head, hearing Randy groan, and rolled her eyes before kissing him again as he lowered her to her feet. They washed each other and ended up making love again, something she could never get enough of, before finally walking out a half an hour later. She was glowing with new hope in her eyes along with Randy's, sitting down on the couch and smiled when he pulled her into his lap. Jade couldn't be held enough by this man, loving the feeling of his arms wrapped around her. She felt so safe and secure, like nothing or nobody could ever hurt her. Softly kissing his lips, Jade sighed and ignored everyone else, her eyes only for the man who was holding her.

"It's free." Randy said after a minute, a smirk on his face.

"Too late. He pissed in a water bottle."

"Anybody thirsty?" Paul asked, staring at the bottle David had so kindly set on the table. "That's sick."

"So quit staring, it's not an energy drink and my dick ain't a fountain."

Cody began snorting, trying not to laugh.

Jade laughed and shook her head, pulling back to stare into Randy's blue eyes. "Do you always hang out with people this insane?" She asked seriously, though her green orbs were twinkling mischievously.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Yeah, we're not insane."

"Just blunt and to the point, sugar."

"Please call me Jade." She hated that term of endearment and her tone was polite as she stared back at David.

"Considering I'm no longer calling you 'Randy's woman', you should just be happy with sugar, sugar." David said in just as polite a tone, a smirk playing his lips.

"Do you always have to be a prick to women who won't sleep with you?"

"Want to test that-" David dodged a boot that came flying at him. "Cody, you're a prick!"

"Randy's holding Jade, I figured I'd do the job for him."

Jade looked at David with a cool expression and sat up a little. "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Mark and that is, the only man I'm interested in sleeping with is Randy." She snuggled back against him and closed her eyes, her hair going down to the middle of her back now that it was wet and straightened.

Paul chuckled. "Still that same old spitfire aren't you baby girl?"

"Did you expect anything less?"

"Judging by the sounds coming from the trainer's room with Simmons, not shocked in the slightest."

"Did I break his nose?"

"More like shattered it. He was bleeding like a stuffed pig."

"Good."

"Punches, swings a baseball and apparently makes Randy's dick leap for joy...You SURE you don't have at least ONE sister?" Cody asked, grinning when Randy growled and held up his hands. "Don't be hating, I can't help if you two apparently forgot you had an audience."

David just shook his head, leaning back in his chair.

"No, I don't have a sister." She seen Cody's face drop and suddenly smirked, her eyes gleaming.

"Oh no."

"Oh yes." She giggled wickedly. "When this thing with Mark is over with, I think I'll give my cousin a call."

"No please..."

"Paul, you know Kelli would just LOVE to meet Cody now don't you?"

Paul groaned, burying his head in his hands. "It's bad enough I have to watch over you like a hawk, now you want to bring a Playboy cover girl here?"

"Whoa, WHAT?"

"My cousin Kelli, through marriage, she's a Playboy cover girl and she's single. I think her and Cody would hit it off." She replied nonchalantly.

Ted blinked. "W-What about me?"

"Hmm...maybe I can ask if she has a friend."

David was rolling now, shaking his head. "You two rookies need help finding dates?"

"We don't all have call girls on speed dial."

"Ouch..." Paul shook his own head, smirking slightly. "He's got your number."

"Who doesn't?"

"Jade." Randy said smugly.

"Burn."

Jade giggled at the dark look on David's face and had to bury her own in Randy's neck, her shoulders shaking.

"So you really think she has a friend, this Kelli?"

Cody was grinning from ear to ear, laughing his ass off at David, and looked over at Jade as he became serious. "You seriously know someone who works for Playboy?"

Sighing with a roll of her eyes, Jade pulled her new cell phone out and handed it over to Cody. "That's from her magazine shoot."

Cody's eyes were filling with desire at the picture, swallowing hard and handed it to back her. "I'm sold."

"Good, now I just have to find someone for Ted since neither one of you know how to approach a woman."

"I resent that!"

"Actually, it's true. This really smoking -she has nothing on you though, baby- fan asked him to go out for a drink and like the dweeb he is, Ted began stuttering like he was Eugene or something." Randy said with a smirk, shaking his head and sighed. "My partners are mentally challenged."

"Go take your Prozac."

"I can't help it if I'm not a smooth talker."

"And you're hanging out with Randy Orton why?" David demanded with a raised eyebrow.

"You know, women aren't that hard to talk too. You'll see when Kelli and her friend come on the road...after this situation with Mark is taken care of."

"Speaking of that, Randy you have to head out to the ring for a promo." Paul sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "You can bring Jade if you want." He was throwing the rules out the window.

Ted looked over at Jade along with Cody, both of them worried for her safety back here, even with all the security and David watching over her. "Either Cody or I will stay back here with her."

"Guys..." Jade sighed and slowly stood up, shaking her head. "Do NOT put your careers on hold for me. Go on. Go kick ass and show them what Legacy is all about. David is here and so is Paul. Not to mention the security. It's just a promo."

"Oh yes, because we all know how stable David is...Not to mention the weasel."

Paul frowned at that. "Hey, I'm on your side."

"Sure, so is God and yet I still wouldn't trust him to keep Jade safe."

"Okay, don't be next to me Ted, I don't want to be struck down."

Randy rolled his eyes, stretching his arms over his head and looked at Jade. "It's up to you."

"Go, all three of you. Cody made a good point earlier when he said Mark was going to bury your careers by making you run." She caressed Randy's face with the back of her hand, staring deep into his eyes. "Go show him what you're all about." She kissed him softly and sat down on the couch, her legs curled up, knowing she was taking a tremendous risk by staying with Paul and David. Two men she didn't fully trust, but she also couldn't let Randy destroy what he'd worked so hard to build. She watched as Legacy reluctantly filed out and took a deep, shaky breath. 'Please don't let this be a mistake.' She thought, closing her eyes, and bit her bottom lip.

"Do you trust them?"

"David, yes. Paul, no."

"Why Dave?"

"Because he has no choice in any of this, not if he likes his cushy life."

David stared at Paul intently, frowning.

"What?"

"From my understanding, you were gung-ho about keeping Jade and Randy apart, mind telling me in detail what changed?"

"I don't want her suffering the same fate my wife did, David." Paul stated evenly, standing up and raked a hand through his dishwater blonde hair. "It was a mistake going to Mark asking for help. I know how he is. I was too blinded by my hatred and rage for Randy to give a damn. Until I seen the true fear in her eyes when Mark first took her and strapped her to his symbol...yeah...she's my sister. I'm not going to let him break her down like he did Steph."

Jade could only sit there and listen, closing her eyes painfully, wondering what exactly Mark had done to Stephanie...no screw that. She didn't want to know. She would have nightmares for weeks if she found out.

"What do you mean by break?" David demanded, asking the question Jade didn't want an answer too. He arched an eyebrow when Paul inhaled raggedly. His eyes widened when Paul then launched into the sordid tale, finally running a hand over his head and whistled softly. "That explains a whole lot."

"What the hell do you mean?"

"Unless you want me to make you hate me again, don't ask."

Paul cracked his neck, turning to stare down at the monitor.

Jade felt sick to her stomach, tears filling her eyes as she stared back at Paul and stood up, walking over and wrapped her arms around his neck, her tears escaping and flowing down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Paul. God I'm so sorry..."

"It's alright." He whispered, slowly pulling back to stare into her green eyes. "I won't let what happened to her happen to you, Jade. I didn't protect her because I didn't know her at the time. I was with the Corporate Ministry and I knew what they were doing to her. I knew it." He sounded pained, his eyes closing tightly shut and shoved her away gently, but firmly. "I didn't...I couldn't..."

"Ssshhhh..." Jade soothed, sitting on his lap, and ran her fingers through his hair. "You don't have to say anymore, Paul." She hugged him tightly. "You're like a brother to me, even though you get on my nerves a lot."

~!~*~

Out in the ring, Randy was cutting his promo, trying not to let the words get caught in his throat. This was pathetic. His promo was about what he was going to do to Trips when the real problem was with the Undertaker. His head shot towards the stage when he heard Cody and Ted both shouted at him. Here came the damn devil with Kane. Two against three, Randy liked those odds.

"Relax son, we're not here to pulverize you...yet." Glen stated in that wicked, sinister voice, laughing as he turned to his brother. "We have an ultimatum for you...a deal if you will."

Jade, Paul and David were watching this from the backstage area.

Cody didn't like the sound of this.

Ted was posed, ready for a fight.

"Unless you want us to beat your asses now and just take her by force?"

Jade paled as she began to tremble against Paul.

"What the fuck does he mean by that?" Paul hissed angrily, stroking Jade's hair, knowing she was scared to death and had every reason to be.

"Not interested in deals."

"Oh, but I know someone in the back who will be." Mark said, smirking cruelly. He wasn't even in his tights, just street clothes. "In fact, the news just came in." He held up a cell phone, hitting a button, the camera zooming in on audio.

"NO! Put me down! Aurora! NO, give me my baby! LET GO! AURORA!"

"FUCK."

"Oh my god Stephanie!" Jade cried out as she stood up, Paul immediately stalking out of the dressing room past security.

Glen was laughing maniacally as he raised an eyebrow at Randy. "Ready to make a deal now?" He asked in his own microphone.

Cody's eyes were widened as they heard Stephanie screaming at the top of her lungs before Mark put the phone back to his ear. This guy was a certified lunatic. Ted was thinking the exact same thing.

"NO!" Randy bellowed, not about to hand Jade over, at ANY price.

"Can you really let an innocent-"

"She's not that innocent."

"Woman and her BABY be hurt all for the sake of your love?" Glen asked, looking downright evil.

"Yes."

"You know Randy, I'm actually proud of you right now. Too bad I'm going to have to kill you."

Jade couldn't take it and booked it out of the dressing room, David hot on her trail. "No! I can't allow them to get beat down because of me!" She cried, shoving David away by kicking his shin before breaking free, swallowing hard as she arrived at gorilla position.

"SOMEONE HELP ME! PAUL!"

Paul was currently getting his ass handed to him by the Acolytes, a one time only reunion. Money talked after all.

"Wait!" Jade ran down the ramp way, holding a microphone with David right behind her, tears streaming down her face. "Don't hurt her!" She couldn't believe she was defending Stephanie, but after what she heard...how could she not? Stephanie was her family and Aurora was her god daughter!

"Jade get back!" Cody shouted over the ropes, looking over at David, who kept looking behind him and had the brass knuckles on.

"All we're asking for is a little deal. It could benefit you both if you'd shut up and listen." Glen growled, looking over his shoulder at Jade, who was petrified, and laughed.

"What the hell is the deal 'Taker?"
