After a day of shopping and dining at the finest restaurant in Paris, they were walking around the Louvre and admiring all the artwork and sculptures. Hunter was in awe at how intelligent she was. Isis knew a lot about many of the works of art on display. She told him about her favorites. He started telling her about one piece and she stopped in her tracks. "How did you know that? Big strong wrestler have a little culture I didn't know about?" She joked.
"I was an art major before I became Triple H. I have other interest too you know. I'm not just a one trick pony here." He shook his head.
She went over and put her arm in his resting her head on his shoulder. "I didn't mean to imply you don't. I was just surprised you have seemed to enjoy art. You have seemed so...I don't know... happy today. I've not seen you like this. I like it." She cuddled into his arm.
They stopped looking at the Mona Lisa. "I guess this one needs no discussion. Look at her expression. You can see she must have been in love with the painter. People say that it was Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of himself. I don't think so. Only a woman in love has that look on her face." Hunter stood staring at the painting walking away from Isis to look closer.
"How can you tell?" She asked quietly following him.
"Because I see that look on your face every day. That's how you look at me." He fought back his emotion."I look at you and all I see is love. After all, I have done to you. Why do you still love me?" Hunter rubbed his hand over his face trying to gather his composure.
Isis walked forward putting her hand in his. "Because you deserve love. I see the real you. The man who would do anything for his friends, his job, his family. Any man who cares that much for people can't be all bad. I won't stop loving you. I can't."
"But, I don't deserve you. Our love." He took a deep breath. She felt his pain. Isis wrapped her arms around his massive frame.
"But, you have me nonetheless. And you do deserve love." She squeezed her body against him. He ran his hands over her arms that were enveloping him. Hunter took in her words feeling her passion for him.
Hunter turned to face Isis and she backed up slightly to look in his gold-brown eyes full of desire. His hands taking hers. Hunter pulled her to him. He ran his fingers across her lips and lowered his head to rest on her forehead. Taking his hands on both sides of her face Hunter took a breath and let out a sigh. Her eyes looking at his lips longing for him to touch her. "I love you Isis." He looked into her eyes. She looked up slowly thinking she imagined it.
"What?" Her heart began to race and her body trembled.
"I love you." He whispered. His lips hovered over hers. She stood frozen afraid he would change his mind. Hunter slowly touched his soft lips to hers. Gently kissing feather light kisses to her lips. He slowly intensified the kiss and parted her lips with his tongue. "I love you."
"Hunter, I love you too. Please say this is real." She closed her eyes thinking it must be a dream. His head returned to resting in her forehead.
"It's real. I have been wanting to tell you for weeks now. I just...I couldn't. Please forgive me. The night I told you I don't kiss. I knew then. If I kissed you I wouldn't be able to control it. I'm sick of being in control all the time. I want to just be with you. Please forgive me. I was a fool." He looked into her eyes.
"I forgive you. I love you." She hugged him tightly burying her head in his chest.
They stood for some time just holding each other looking at the painting. Later that night Hunter took her to their suite overlooking the Eiffel Tower. He had a chef come and cook for them and they sat eating out on the balcony.
"It was so amazing going up the tower today. But from this view. It's so beautiful. Lit up for the night it is truly romantic. Hunter this is so perfect. I'm afraid it's all a dream and I'm going to wake up." Isis eyes glittered from the lights of the city around her.
"It's not a dream. Isis, I'm sorry I hurt you. I hope you can forgive me and we can start over. I need you. I do love you. I'm afraid if I release you from this submissive agreement you will leave me." He looked away to the tower.
"I'm not going anywhere. I did it to be with you. I finally have you. But, you have to try to be the man you once were, Hunter. I can't be in a relationship with the Evolution version of you. I deserve more than that. I think you deserve more than that too. You are a good man. When you are being yourself and not this hyped up version of you. You are the man I fell for. The man Glen and Mark told me you are. I need that version. I need the real you." She smiled.
"I promise, I am still that man. I just forgot for a while. The women, the bars, the ego. That's not who I am. I know that. It never was but, I let it get the best of me. In the processes, I hurt a woman who would lay down everything for me. I know you sacrifice a lot of yourself for my happiness. I will make it up to you. I'll show you who I really am." He reached over taking her hand and kissed it.
"You already are, aren't you." She winked at him. "Now take me in that room and make love to your girlfriend."
"GIrlfriend huh?" He smiled a sly smile.
"Yep! I like labels. No more of this, oh we are just seeing each other crap. If we are going to be in a real relationship, I want a real boyfriend. Not be your ass-kicking sidekick or your number one whore." She looked serious.
"OK! OK! Fair enough. I thought it was pretty much given but, I guess I need to ask you to be my girlfriend then. So will you?" Hunter joked.
"Ok, I accept. Now. Get me naked before I change my mind." She smirked.
He got up and pulled her up throwing her over his shoulder. "Ok miss bossy. You asked for it."
"Neanderthal." She joked reaching down slapping his butt.
Hunter threw her on the bed and climbed on top of her. He started kissing her gently on the lips, "Neanderthal huh? I could just take you right now hard and fast or you can let me make love to you the right way."
"Do I have a choice? I'm sort of use to the submissive thing." She smiled.
"Well, you have a choice but, I prefer to make love to you right now." He kissed her neck lifting off her off-shoulder dress. "I still may want to be in charge sometimes though. I like when you submit to me. Especially when I get that sweet release from you." He moved his way down her body kissing her inner thighs.
"Hunter, I need you now. Please. Make love to me." She pulled at him to meet her gaze.
"Are you ready for me Isis?" He removed his clothes and moved between her legs.
"I'm ready for you. I need you. Tell me you love me why you have me. Kiss me." Her eyes were burning with desire.
Hunter slowly moved his hard member to touch her entrance. Teasing her body with his. "Tell me how you need me, baby." He kissed her lips gently.
"I need you. I always need you. Please, I need more." Her body lifted to press into him.
"Beg me. You know I love when you beg." He slowly started to enter her little by little. Holding her hips so she couldn't push into him.
"Please more. I need more. Please, Hunter. Take me." She started to rub over her body the way he liked. Showing him herself. "Do you like this baby. I'm I doing it right for you. I want to make you happy." She reached between her legs stroking the area of his member still outside her opening.
A groan escaped him. "Yes, baby. You do it just right. So good." He watched as she bit down on her lip. It always drove him over the edge. He quickly thrust into her. Holding her so he was completely filling her.
"You are so big, Hunter. So hard. I need you." He felt her shutter knowing he was touching her spot that drove her crazy on other nights they had rougher sex she would have already gone crazy on him. The kiss became more passionate and their bodies became one. Tonight he was going to take her gently. He wanted to show her his love for her. He slowly worked his way in and out. Watching her body move to his motion.
"It's like a dance with you. Like your body is dancing to my touch. Slowly now baby. Let's take our time. Enjoy this." Hunter began kissing her lips tenderly. "I love you so much. I never thought I could ever love anyone again."
As they made love their eyes never left each other's gaze. For the first time it wasn't about sex it was enjoying each other's embrace. He held her more gently than he had ever held any woman. When they reached the point of ecstasy Hunter collapsed into her arms. He kissed her forehead gently. "Tell me your mine. Never leave me."
"Never. I want to be yours forever."
"Do you mean that." He rolled over holding her in his arms.
"I do. I know you said once you never wanted to marry again. I can live with that. But. I don't want to live without you. You mean the world to me. Do you realize this is the first time you really made love to me? I thought that night I pampered you we would make love but, it really just ended up being sex wasn't it?"
"Isis, that night I wanted you more than I ever wanted anyone. I just couldn't control my want for you. I wanted you more than I ever thought I could ever want anyone. Baby, you do things to me that drives me wild. Do you not like our sex life? Is it too intense? You know you have to be open with me about this stuff. " He looked questioningly.
"Oh no. I love it. I just..I don't know. I didn't know if it was just sex or you really felt something."
"I always felt something. Stop looking at me that way. Get your mind out of the gutter. That's not what I mean. Your special and every time for me was making love. Just sometimes a little kinkier than others." He talked her sweetly. "Girl, most nights you're more of a freak than I am. I honestly think you try to defy me some days so I will spank you."
She giggled."Well, it's more about the pleasure and the pain. It just sort of gets me off when you are not too rough."
"I got a little out of hand the last time. I didn't know I was hurting you. You were supposed to tell me. Use the safe word." He rubbed her arm.
She started to laugh and covered her face. "Oh my gosh. I forgot about the safe word. You never are too rough with things so I forgot about it. I don't even remember what it is." She giggled.
"How about just say Hunter that's hurting me. Or stop now." He grumbled.
"Ok. Next time I will. But, you seemed so upset that night I figured I could take it a little rough to get you to relax." She cuddled into him.
"You know I hate to hurt women. It made me feel like I abused you or something." Hunter looked up at the ceiling.
"No. Baby. If it was not too much to handle. I would have punched you in the nuts if you really hurt me." She laughed. "I was ok. It was just a little rougher than before. My booty was sore but, I know you would never hurt me on purpose."
"I asked you if it was too hard." He pouted.
"I know. I just felt you needed to get it out of your system." Isis smiled knowing he was pouting.
He rolled over, looking her in the eyes. "Never again. If you like that from time to time..fine but, I never want to hurt you. Promise you will tell me."
She rubbed his face. "I promise. Baby, I promise."
"Tomorrow we are getting a flight out of Paris. We will be staying at our next designation a couple days. We need to get rested. Sleep, my queen. I know once you get talking I can't get you to stop." He covered her eyes and mouth. He kissed her gently.
"Well maybe put something in my mouth. You did say once that's how you would shut me up. " She mumbled in his hand. She started laughing and Hunter smacked her bottom shaking his head.
