On with the story already.

Jeff sighed happily as he nestled further into the comforting embrace in which he was now held. Something just felt so right and he couldn't remember what.

His eyes bolted open. Lita. He turned his head, looking down at her. God, he was laying on top of her, and they were still joined. He had to be crushing her. Realization hit him, memories of the very recent past. He tried to shift off of her, but she tightened her hold.

"Don't go." She demanded, her eyes popping open to meet his. "Just don't move."

"But I'm."

"I said don't move." She commanded a little stronger, wrapping her legs around his waist to keep him locked in place. "Stay put."

Jeff shook his head, trying to shake off the feeling of still being inside her, plus the look in her face. "I'm so much heavier then you. And."

She smiled up at him, caressing his cheek and he couldn't help but lean into her touch. "I'm no weakling. I'm all muscle too you know. Now I said stay put, so stay put."

Jeff sighed, leaning back down against her and placing his elbows to either side of her head so he could play with her hair and look into her face. "Why did you cry? I felt your tears. I was so caught up I didn't realize it. If you wanted me to stop."

"That wasn't it." She said, softly. "No one's ever made me feel that way before. It was . God, I can't even describe it."

He nodded. "I, uhhm.what now?"

Lita's eyes searched his face, for the first time seeing him with his mask down. Completely vulnerable to her and why hadn't she seen it before. "I don't know."

"Stay with me." He pleaded.

She smiled at his request, pulling his head down and placing a soft kiss on his lips. "I want to, Jeff. I really do."

"I sense a but."

Lita sighed. "You showed me. Love. You showed me. And I love you. I do, please believe me. But I love him too. And maybe.just maybe I can fix what's wrong. Fix myself, fix us."

Jeff pushed up from her, looking down at her with confusion etched in his features. She only let him move so far, still keeping her legs tightly around him. "Fix you? Fix . love." He shook his head. "I don't understand."

"There's got to be something I can do. Something to."

"No! There isn't. Why can't you." Jeff exhaled, closing his eyes a moment before meeting hers again. "Ok." He lay over her, his body pushed flushed to hers as he brought his head to the side of hers. "Wrap your arms around my neck." He whispered into her ear.

"Jeff, what are you doing?" she asked, obeying his request.

"Just listen and feel, ok?" He felt her nod then closed his eyes, focusing on her, on everything about her. He continued, his voice soft and reverent as he spoke his thoughts and he gently wrapped his own arms around her. "There is nothing you need to change. You are beautiful and amazing and perfect just the way you are. I'm picturing you now. In my mind, I can see you."

He both felt and heard her sharp intake of breath as her legs reflexively squeezed him tighter. She exhaled shakily, wrapping her arms tighter around his neck.

Jeff smiled, nipping a spot on her neck before soothing it with his tongue. "You feel that. This is what you do to me." He felt her chest shaking and she pushed her face into his neck, the dampness evident. She sniffled and he only held her closer. "It's not just your physical body. Not only this shell. It's the woman inside. It's you. Everything about you. Why can't you see that? Why can't you see what I love?"

She was shaking so much from the intensity she couldn't stop the tears. "Jeff," she managed to crack out. "Oh God, Jeff." She wrapped her arms more tightly around him, clutching him to her, her nails actually digging into him.

He nuzzled into her neck a moment before pulling back, his eyes trailing over her before eventually meeting her teary eyes. "My God, you're beautiful." She let out a tear filled laugh, and he brought his hand to the side of her face. "I want you. I love you. Baby, come with me. Be with me."

Lita blinked a few times, staring into his eyes; the emotions almost enough to make her break down and sob; the feel of him everywhere kindling her passion but the raw emotion in his face keeping her grounded. "I.I can't promise."

"Just tell me what you want. Even if it's only for tonight, just tell me."

She sighed. "I have to try. Something, anything." He nodded, solemnly. She wrapped her arm around his neck. "But now, I just want to feel." And she guided his head down, kissing him deeply.

When he couldn't breathe, he pulled back meeting her heat filled gaze. "Tell me you love me, that you want me." He said a bit breathless.

"I love you, Baby." Lita said, smiling. "And I wish it didn't take me so long to realize it." She caressed his cheek. "I want you."

"Jeff."

Her expression fell serious, cupping his face in her hands. "I want you, Jeff."

He smiled at that, leaning closer. So close she could feel his breath on her lips. He wiped away the tear that slipped from her eye then closed the little distance, kissing her.

Jeff groaned as the telephone rang on his bed stand. His eyes still closed, he reached over, picking up the receiver. "Hello?"

"Jeff, it's me."

"Hey, Matt."

"Hey. What's going on? Is she with you? Is she ok? We figured she was still there and Helms and I picked up her car last night and parked it out front of your house."

Jeff opened his eyes, looking down at the redhead curled against his side, cuddled into his chest. "Yes, she's here. And she's ok, as ok as she's going to be. Thanks for the car. What happened after we left?" And Jeff absently ran his hand through her hair, she leaning against him with a sigh as he continued the comforting gesture.

"Things got interesting." Matt continued. "Helms pounded into Jay like you wouldn't believe. I never knew he had that in him. I mean he took a whole new meaning to bar fight. That place was wild but in the fray Jay got out before he could finish. We were just stunned at Shane's complete and utter aggression. I mean he was always so somber and cool headed."

"You sure it was Helms. I mean that guy is the one who kept me outta trouble."

"Yeah it was Shane. You know how he feels about Lita. She's like a sister to him.hell she is a sister to him."

"I know. I just never would've expected him to blow like that."

Matt chuckled. "This coming from the man who hit him in the groin with a sledge then threw him through a mirror."

"He deserved that and you know it." Jeff paused, realizing his voice was getting a little loud and Lita began to stir. He placed a soft kiss to her hair then settled further into the bed, pulling her against him. She mumbled something inaudible then wrapped her arm around his abdomen, holding herself to him as she stilled. Jeff continued as he pulled the covers further up around them, his voice a whisper now. "After everything he's done to her, she . He should be dead."

"Oh my God, Jeff, you didn't."

"What?"

Matt sighed. "You didn't sleep with her did you? After everything she's just been through, you take advantage of her completely unstable condition and sleep with her. You realize when she wakes up, she'll probably be disgusted."

"No." Jeff furrowed his brow, worry now in his voice. "It wasn't even me. She insisted she never knew love, I told her that I loved her and she asked me to show her. She kept saying she was ugly and worthless and I showed her otherwise. I showed her how amazing she is. I showed her." he trailed off, looking down at her. "Oh my God, I just took advantage of the woman I love." And he raised his hand to his eyes.

"Look, Jeff." Matt said in a soothing tone. "You have no other choice but to ride it out from here. And you'll have to take whatever comes. Just please don't resort to doing anything to yourself. I don't wanna have to explain it to Dad again." And Matt hung up.

Jeff hung up the receiver, lying there quietly a moment. How could he have done this? She wasn't in her right frame of mind.the hysterics when examining herself. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Jeff eased his way from Lita's side, carefully disentangling his limbs from hers and he slid out of the bed, pulling on a pair of boxer shorts and walking out of the room. It was around eight in the morning and damn did he need coffee. Lots of coffee.

He poured himself a cup then strolled out onto his back porch, running his hand through his matted hair before rubbing his chest. Damn it was a little chilly out, he should have thought to put a shirt and maybe even pants on. Well too late for that, he wasn't going to go back in there now. And he heard the door open.

He bowed his head, sighing and letting his shoulders sag. Then she was there, her arm wrapped around his waist from behind as she placed a soft kiss on his back. "G'Morning."

"G'Morning." He turned in her embrace, looking down at her. She looked so beautiful standing there in his oversized tee-shirt and nothing covering her legs. He couldn't help reaching up to cup her face a moment. Then he sighed, shaking his head and stepping out of her grasp. "I'm sorry, Lita. I never should have done what I did last night."

"Wha.what are you talking about? You regret it?"

He turned back to her then and the pain in her eyes melted his heart. "No. No please don't think that." He stepped to her, grabbing for her hand. "I don't regret it. I'm sorry I took advantage of you. If you don't want to talk to me again or if you want to forget it then that's ok with me."

Lita stepped further in his embrace, taking his coffee and placing it on the deck. "I don't want to forget, Jeff. I want to remember. Remember what it felt like, so I know. I didn't lie. I do love you. I do."

He smiled, leaning down and pressing his lips to hers. She easily went with him, bringing her hands up to tangle in his hair as his tongue flicked at her lips. And she opened her mouth, deepening the kiss until they were both spinning. When she pulled away to breathe, she cuddled into his chest, pressing her cheek against him. He held her close and let out a shaky breath. "Run away with me, Lita."

She shook her head against him. "I can't. Not yet at least. I . I have to see him. To make sure, I can't. I don't know." She pulled away to look up at him. "I have to see what he says."

Jeff nodded, ducking his head. "I know." He mumbled.

"Shhhhh." She hushed, reaching up to stroke his cheek. And his eyes met hers. "Jeff, I will never forget what you showed me, ok? But I need you to tell me something. Why didn't you move on? I'm married. Why did you still hold on?"

"Because I couldn't let go. I kept telling myself if I just sucked everything up and done something before you started seeing Jay, I might have been the one standing on the alter that day. It haunted me. And I just couldn't let go. So I kept wishing, hoping." He trailed his hands up her arms, his eyes skimming her body. "And here you are. At least for now, here you are."

She reached up then, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face into his shoulder. He could feel the dampness around her eyes and he returned her hug, holding her to him as tightly as he could. "I'll leave with you." She whispered against him.

Jeff's eyes widened, not sure if he heard her correctly. "What?" and he pushed her back to look in her eyes. "What did you say?"

Lita swallowed, steadying her voice. "I want to leave with you. Or just be with you. But I have to talk to Jay first. I'll get the divorce. Jeff, I want to be with you."

He stood there dumbfounded. What? What did she say? His mind wouldn't let him believe. "What? What did you say?"

Lita smiled at him, standing on her toes to kiss him lightly on the lips. "I want to be with you, Jeff. You. I'm gonna talk to Jay right after I leave here."

"What?"

She chuckled. "How about I show you." And she grabbed his head pulling him to her, and crushing her lips to his. As she forced her tongue into his mouth, her hand traveled down to cup him through his pants and he let out a loud growl before pulling away from her.

"Wait. I understand. But we should go inside. Come on."

When he would have pulled her to the door, she only shook her head. "No. Right here. I don't care who sees. I don't care who knows. I want you from now on."

"Oh God, Lita." Jeff grounded out before kissing her hard, lowering them both to the deck as his arms bound around her.

The two so caught up with each other though, they didn't see the figure of a man slip behind a tree and sneak towards his gate. How dare he do that? How dare Jeff lay a hand on Lita? He couldn't hear what they were saying; only saw the way the Hardy ravaged the woman's lips. The way he took such control and she so willingly surrendered to him. How long has this been going on? The man scowled as he ran down Jeff's driveway, hopped in his car, and sped off.
