"Grab a seat, the loveseat may be best for you." Roman told him.
"Thanks." He moved to sit.
"So what about earlier? Was I too rough with you. I am sorry but it seemed you needed it."
"I am sore...but I enjoyed it. How is it you knew what I needed? How is it you seem to know what was going on with me?"
"I didn't fully." Roman told him. "You seem to be a special person Randy. How long have you been able to feel others' emotions & sensations?"
"I...I don't know." Randy looked down I don't even if I really was or is my mind playing tricks?"
"I don't think so."
"So you don't think I am crazy, that this is really happening?"
"No...and yes. Now you said it didn't seem to be just John...but Bethany too?" Randy nodded. "What about any of us?"
"I don't know...it is just like a huge wave of euphoric lust."
"Interesting. May be a hazard if you were to walk into a club unless you learn a way to shield yourself."
"And how exactly do you suggest that?"
"Well one is to picture a bubble that blocks that feeling from you. Another is to almost...burn yourself out of it." Roman smiled like I did earlier with you." Randy almost shutter a shaky breath at the memory. "Question did you feel anything during dinner?"
"Not really."
"So it has some lasting effect unless it is strong. John was getting worked up over the idea of Dean's play space."
"Okay...so how did you know, how do you know these things?"
"Let's just say I am not exactly...normal myself Randy. As for what I do, it doesn't matter."
"How do I explain this to John?"
"You don't."
"What? How can I not?"
"Do you trust him that fully? You trust him not to think you are making it up. Or that maybe you have lost your mind?"
Randy sighed looking down. "Yes I trust him fully. As for the rest who knows. John thinks a lot of things are jokes. You must admit it seems pretty out there & I would not believe it if I was not the one experiencing it."
"Your call...but I don't suggest sharing it with the others. Even if they believe you it may make them leery of you & I wouldn't doubt Dean would try to manipulate it against you."
"Your probably right about that."
"But feel free to seek me out in private if you need to."
"Thanks Roman."
"No problem...let's get back. I think Seth has a room you two can use here so you can have easy access to a shower."
"Sounds good." Randy got up to head back downstairs with Roman & joined the others.
John was helping Bethany clean the table when Randy returned. He looked up with a smile. "Hey, Daddy."
"Hey Baby...where the other two?"
"They took off for the living room to watch an episode of Raw Seth had saved. Dean said they like to watch and critique themselves." John replied as he carried a stack of plates. "You can go relax and join them if you want."
"That's fine Baby I wanted to check about a room here, then I want to talk with you." Randy left the room the find Dean & Seth. He just waited so not to interrupt them while they were studying. Randy remembers when he did the same thing.
Seth and Dean were relaxing on a leather couch facing a large TV mounted on the wall. Seth's eyes were narrowed in thought as he studied the screen. "Do you think my drop kicks need more work?" He asked Dean.
"Your legs could be a little tighter." Randy spoke up.
Seth looked up at Randy. "Oh, hey. Relax with us? I could always use advice from a veteran.
Your drop kicks are picture perfect."
"Thanks man." Randy walked around taking a seat in an easy chair near by. "God I still remember back when I was the new kid. You guys aren't even that anymore. Been over a year when you showed on the main roster."
"Here we go with the good old day stories." Dean commented.
"No...no nothing like that. You want that you need to talk to guys like Hunter...or worse my pa." Randy joked.
Seth laughed good naturedly along with Randy. "Hard to believe it's been that long already. John was such a good guy to open his gym to me and Roman when we first started out. It was almost like a dream."
"Yeah a nitty gritty type place. Just the way he likes it. Get in, get focused & get results." Randy commented.
"Nitty gritty?" Dean asked.
"Yeah converted from a small warehouse and it looks like it. I am sure you saw the videos they showed of it on the shows."
"Maybe." Dean grumbled.
"What's your problem?" Seth asked, glancing at Dean. "I'm sure John would have invited you if you had been in the area. "
"No problem...I just don't remember seeing the videos he's talking about." Dean told him. "I guess before recently I didn't see John as a down & dirty type guy."
"You saying that with how we play?" Randy asked.
"I said before recently." Dean told him again. "They always talk of his massive car collection & the near mansion he lives in."
"Yeah His Hard Nocks gyms are nothing like his home." Randy told them. "Of course now there is the high tech performance center down there. John does like to get back to basics sometime though."
Seth looked at the TV watching as Randy was doing a promo with the Shield. "They totally write us as your lapdogs." He complained. "We used to be so badass."
"Who knows." Randy looked. "Not like I am much better being written as Hunter's kiss ass myself. I hate it. I wanted to become heel again, but not a brown noser."
"Yeah." Seth agreed. The segment ended and the main event started. John's familiar music hit. "There's your man." He teased as John came running out all dimples. "Fuck, hard to believe that guy is so kinky He looks like a boy scout."
"Yeah talk about looks being deceiving."
"Yeah till recently you were the boy scout." Dean laughed.
"Hardly Dean...hardly." Randy told him. "Trust me maybe 80% of the rumors about me were true." He gave a faint laugh.
Seth looked at Randy in wonder. "You mean you really got all the chicks when you were in Evolution? I heard Flair had you guys at all kinds of wild clubs."
"Well I had my fair share put it that way." Randy told them as he leaned back in the chair some. "Ric is a crazy guy all right. It was a wild ride."
"What do you like better chicks or dudes?" Seth asked as he watched John wrestle Alberto. "All love for John aside. If you were single."
"Wow tough call. Each have benefits & drawbacks? What about you Seth, you're the one with a gal at home at you playing with dudes on the road."
"We get girls at the clubs sometimes too." Dean told him.
"About the same I guess." Seth answered. "I do love a curvy chick though. I'm kind of obsessed with long hair too." He shook his head as he watched John. "Don't tell John I said this. He's a cool guy and strong as hell...but the dude can't wrestle for shit."
Randy gave a faint almost snorting laugh. "Trust me man he knows...he just has a look Vince likes & kills it on a mic."
Seth nodded, looking at the screen as the Shield music blared and the guys interrupted John's match. John stood in the ring watching them with a worried expression. "Here comes the Hounds of Justice to take apart poor John." Seth joked.
"Yeah John & I at odds on screen...sick em boys." Randy laughs.
"You probably sent us." Seth laughed. John on screen tried to fight back but was beaten down by the Shield before hoisted up for the power bomb. "Even Super Cena is no match for us."
"Yeah didn't I come out after this?" Randy asked making sure it was the episode he was thinking of.
"Yeah, I think so. We attacked John so many times." Seth said. Sure enough Randy made his appearance a few minutes later, strutting to the ring and gloating over John's supposedly unconscious form. "Somebody had some sucking up to do that night." The two tone haired man teased.
"Nothing a warm bath & good massage didn't smooth over." Randy chuckled.
Seth laughed a little. "Not going to lie. It is a rush having a guy like John so submissive and willing. Such a tough guy that many think is unbeatable."
"You're not kidding." Dean spoke up again. "You're real lucky." He told Randy.
"Yeah I am." He told them.
"Well you both are Randy." Seth smiled as the show ended. "You take good care of him. John could have ended up with a cold Dom who only uses him like an object if you were not in his life. Believe me, there are plenty like that out there. They don't give a shit about their subs...they're just on some power trip to prove how strong they are."
Randy nodded. "Thanks. I guess I am seeing that more & more that I am more like one then I realized."
"What like the crop today?" Dean asked.
"Well a lot more then just that." Randy pointed out.
"I told you that, Randy. You take care of him, watch out for him and lead him in his best interest. He looks to you for everything. You are his Dom." Seth commented.
"I know." Randy replied. "I guess I just had stereotypes in my head & didn't want to see myself like that. Don't get me wrong I am not claiming you guys are either."
"What you picture the hard strict, all leather yelling 'on your knees' kind?" Dean asked with a chuckle.
Randy gave a shaky breath. "Maybe a little."
"Ah that's us when we go to clubs." Dean laughed which got a look from Randy. "I'm messing with you Randy."
Seth gave a naughty smirk, knowing how Roman got to Randy. "You should see Roman's outfit. It just screams authority. Of course we would have to find some suitable sexy attire for John. Of course with him not being collared he might be approached if not always by our side."
"Even if he got separated from us...he can still say no. Right?"
"Even a basic collar may be a good idea." Dean told Randy. "Nothing fancy...doesn't even need a mark. If asked if it is ownership or utilitarian he can tell them both."
Seth nodded, echoing Dean. "Yeah there are always loads of Doms looking at those kinds of places. Like Dean said even a simple collar could save a lot of headaches."
"Any suggestions?" Randy wondered.
Dean was almost surprised how much Randy seems to have come around. "I am sure one of us has something John can use. Just a matter of getting it in our gear. Well unless we pick a club near one of our homes."
Seth looked at Dean. "Would have to be in your stuff. Most of mine are used for Bethany in private play and would never fit John's neck."
"With all your suspension you don't have basic D-ring collars?" Dean almost tisked at Seth. "No good clubs near here anyways. Nevada or Florida would be better."
"Yeah Nevada has some great ones." As Seth was speaking John walked into the room, looking at the three men.
"What's up, Guys?"
"Not much Babe...just was watching one of the Raws recently, then talking of maybe a trip later on...not here but maybe when we hit Dean's neck of the woods."
"A trip?" John asked as he moved to sit on the large couch by Seth and Dean.
"To one of the clubs, John." Seth explained to the older man. John's blue eyes lit up with excitement.
"Really? You would go, Daddy?"
"Be ill of me not to...we will talk about it later in private Baby." Randy told him as he remembered Roman's warning.
John nodded. "Okay, Daddy." Seth yawned and stretched, standing up. "Well, if you three will excuse me I'm going to go grab my girl. I think I'll spend the evening relaxing with her while I have the chance. See you all for breakfast."
"Night, Seth." John told him.
"Oh yeah...um Seth, Roman said you may have a spare room we can use here?" Randy commented. "Be nice to get John a relaxing shower or bath."
"Also for yourself I bet." Dean commented.
John looked over at Dean, hearing the tone he had used on Randy and frowned. "Yeah, Randy if you take the stairs to the top floor there is a nice guest room second door on the left next to a bathroom. The walls are a deep green with a cream cover on the bed. Help yourselves just don't ruin the sheets." Seth teased.
Randy lightly laughed as he stood up doubting John or he were in much shape for too much. "Thanks man. Shall be Babe? Let Roman & Bethany know we said good night & see them for breakfast."
"Sure thing, Randy." Seth said, leaving the room. John stood up and walked over by his boyfriend. "Night, Dean." He mumbled, a little put off by how the man treated Randy.
Dean waved as they left & Randy escorted John up to the room. "Fuck our bags are all in the car still."
