Shawn continued to escort Cassie around the arena introducing her to
people. They eventually ran into Ric Flair. Ric smiled charismatically,
taking her hand, and kissing her knuckles. "The Pleasure is mine," he told
her grinning lecherously.
Cassie nodded coolly her eyes searching the older man's and after a moment pulled her hand back, "Well, it's been nice meeting you Ric, but I've got to get going." Ric smiled and headed off the other direction.
"Honey," Shawn told her when Ric was out of earshot, "He's one of the people that you'd do well to stay away from. They call him the dirtiest player in the game for a reason. Hunter fell for his bullshit. That doesn't mean you have to. I'd hate to see you become his pawn."
Cassie raised her chin, "I can take care of myself. Ric wouldn't know what hit him."
Next, Shawn introduced her to Jeff Hardy, Rob Van Dam, and Edge. Edge smiled and extended his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Cassie smiled back. Edge seemed genuinely friendly and he had a promising wrestling career, "Likewise," she returned, "I've been watching you, Edge. You've got a lot of talent."
Edge blushed and Shawn bit back a laugh, Oh yeah, he smirked inwardly, Cassie will be just fine. But what impressed Shawn the most was that Cassandra seemed to mean every word she said.
They stayed and talked with the boys for a few minutes, Cassie taking an instant liking to all three young men. Finally, Shawn steered her away and headed down the hall, "I should probably introduce you to some of the divas," Shawn explained as he paused outside the locker room.
Shawn knocked on the door and when it opened Lita stood in the doorway, "Hey Shawn," she greeted him with smile.
"Li, I want to introduce you to Cassie McMahon," Shawn said indicating the young woman next to him.
Lita's eyes raked over the newcomer and to her credit Cassie never flinched. After a moment Lita seemed to find whatever she was looking for and relaxed, "Nice to meet you."
"You too Lita," Cassie said with a smile, "I loved what you did with the women's division. Your high-flying style and arsenal is impressive."
Lita smiled brightly, "Thanks."
Shawn cleared his throat feeling forgotten, "Is everybody decent in there?" he asked, "I'd like Cassie to meet some of the women wrestlers."
Lita looked over her shoulder and then nodded, "Yeah, come on in."
When Shawn and Cassie entered the locker room, Cassie immediately noticed how the women eyed Shawn. Hell, Stacey Kiebler seemed to be drooling. Everyone stiffened however when Victoria rose to her feet and approached Cassandra.
"Well, well, if it isn't Vince's brat," Victoria taunted, "Better be careful, a pretty little thing like you could get hurt around here."
Cassie moved closer so she was right up in Victoria's face. Even though Victoria was bigger Cassie seemed undaunted, "Is that a threat, Victoria?" Cassie asked with a smile, "'Cause if it is . . . try me. You might regret it."
Victoria and Cassie stared each other down for a few tense moments and while Shawn couldn't help but admire this display of spirit, he was afraid he was going to have to break up a fight. "Leave her alone, Victoria," Jackie spoke up from the bench where she sat, "Cassie isn't bothering you."
Victoria glared at Jackie but backed off. Trying to disarm the tension Jackie stepped up and offered her hand, which Cassie shook. Lita made the introductions and while Cassie smiled and talked with the divas she never seemed to completely take her eyes off the somewhat psychotic Victoria.
Show time neared and Cassie and Shawn left the divas to prepare for their matches. "Why don't you come to my dressing room with me and watch the show?" Shawn suggested having liked her company thus far.
Cassie thought a moment. Her father wouldn't like it but she was an adult. And Shawn's eyes were so very pretty. Finally Cassie smiled and shrugged, "Sure."
They sat on the couch in his dressing room, watching the matches and talking. Cassandra kept glancing over at Shawn who sprawled casually next to her, his shirt open revealing his chiseled chest and his tight jeans hugging his muscular legs. As she laughed at a joke Cassandra found herself wanting to run her fingers over the muscles in his stomach. Stop it, she ordered herself silently, You just met him. Stop acting like a slut!
Shawn for his part couldn't help but notice the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed. His hazel eyes fell upon her full lips and he found himself longing to taste them. Easy, Shawn, he cautioned himself, Boss's daughter. Are you sure you want to go there? To his surprise he found that he did.
Cassandra's laughed slowly faded and she fell silent as she finally noticed how intently Shawn was watching at her. Just the way he was looking at her made chills run up and down her spine. Slowly they leaned towards each other and Cassandra closed her eyes in anticipation of his kiss
"It's time to play the game!" Triple's H's theme blared from the monitor. Shawn and Cassie pulled apart eyeing each other uncertainly. A light blush lit Cassandra's beautiful face.
Shawn sat back taking a deep breath, "Well, it's show time," he said his voice husky. Shawn stood up, "Wait here I'll be back."
Cassie also stood up, "Be careful, Shawn," she warned him biting her lip nervously.
Shawn smiled warmed by her apparent concern, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." With that Shawn left the room.
Cassie turned back to the TV to see Shawn run down the ramp. The Ref was down and Shawn slid quickly into the ring and just as Hunter turned around Shawn laid some sweet chin music on him. Shawn rolled out of the ring just as the referee Earl came back around and Kane took advantage and made the cover. One. Two. Three. It was over and Kane was the new Raw Heavy Weight Champion. As far as Cassie was concerned Kane deserved it. Especially after that Katie Vick bullshit that Hunter pulled. Cassie shuddered. That promo in the funeral parlor had been sick and twisted.
Shawn stood at the top of the ramp waiting until Hunter looked up and saw him. Cassie bit her lip worriedly as Hunter's face flushed with rage as he realized that he'd been screwed. Hunter began to curse and Shawn called for a mic. "Hunter," Shawn began in a friendly tone, "I told you not to hunt what you couldn't kill. Well it's my turn," Shawn smiled devilishly, "Let the Game begin." Hunter sputtered in rage as Shawn carelessly turned his back and walked backstage as the crowd went wild.
When Shawn returned to his dressing room Cassandra was waiting hand on hip. "You'd better know what you're doing," she told him an odd edge to her voice, "Because now Hunter won't rest until he takes you down."
"Hunter can try," Shawn told her his voice low, "But he can't kill me."
Cassie nodded coolly her eyes searching the older man's and after a moment pulled her hand back, "Well, it's been nice meeting you Ric, but I've got to get going." Ric smiled and headed off the other direction.
"Honey," Shawn told her when Ric was out of earshot, "He's one of the people that you'd do well to stay away from. They call him the dirtiest player in the game for a reason. Hunter fell for his bullshit. That doesn't mean you have to. I'd hate to see you become his pawn."
