Between Lovers (Pt. 2)

It had been 3 weeks since Amy had informed Tammy that Matt had feelings for her. Not wanting to believe it or face Matt, Tammy kept to herself and avoided him at all costs. That is until Wrestlemania. The TLC match. Tammy hated to think about how far Jeff would go. He appeared to have a death wish as of late.

"Hey D-Von, take it easy out there on my baby, okay?" Tammy smiled.

"I won't take it any easier on him as he will on me. Hey, when are you going to get with a real man girl?" challenged D-Von.

"I'm happy with the man I'm with D. Do you purposely try to hurt peoples feelings?" Tammy asked as she walked towards Jay and Adam's locker room.

"Hey!" D-Von yelled causing her to turn towards him with an annoyed look on her face. " I apologize. I do tend to be a little hard on you. You're a sexy intelligent sister. I respect that."

Tammy smiled knowing how hard it was for D-Von to say what he'd just told her. "Good luck D, be safe out there."

"Testify!" he yelled as he walked towards Bubba Ray and accepted a bottle of water from him.

Tammy knocked on Jay and Adam's door only to have it jerked open by Matt. The last person she expected to be here was Matt. Could he tell that she suspected how he felt about her?

"Tammy! Hey girl!" Matt shouted as he lifted her up in a bear hug and swung her around. Tammy grabbed the bottom of her skirt and tried to pull it down.

"Oh sorry" he said as he went behind her and pulled her skirt down a little more and smoothing it out on her ass.

"No, it's okay. You didn't mean to do it Matt", said Tammy wondering if he was trying to feel her up on the sly. No, Matt wouldn't be that sneaky would he?

"So, are you ready to see your boyfriend get his ass handed to him on a platter tonight?" Adam asked with a devious smirk on his face.

"See, I was coming by to wish you two jerks good luck tonight", said Tammy.

"Ahhh, she's so sweet isn't she Jay?" Adam said as he walked towards Tammy and kissed her on the right cheek only to be followed by Jay kissing her on the left one.

"Well, I'm heading to get Jeff. He'll be late to his own funeral. I'll see you guys later", Matt said as he left the room.

Tammy turned to Jay and Adam and gave them the look. They looked at each other as if something was about go down.

"Okay, you guys. What dangerous stunts does Jeff have planned tonight?" Tammy asked as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Nothing new" they both said in unison and elbowed one another as if they were hiding something.

"Umm hmm" Tammy said suspiciously. "You guys wouldn't be lying would you?"

"No way!" Jay said a little too quickly.

"Look as Adam, you know I'll be safe out there with all the guys. But as Edge I have to be out for those belts and myself. If Jeff pulls a crazy stunt, it will be on him. But you know us, we'll protect him out there as much as we can, okay?" Adam said as he hugged Tammy trying to reassure her that everything will be as safe as possible.

***************************

As Tammy entered Jeff's locker room she saw how intense he looked. She'd seen that look before. She didn't like it but this was whom she chose to be with. She smiled and kissed him on the lips while he was stretching.

"Good luck Rainbow" she smiled.

"Thank you sweetheart. This is it baby, Wrestlemania 2000, for the belts. I know you're scared of what may happen to me out there but I'll be just fine. I promise you. Trust me?" Jeff asked seriously.

"With all my heart" Tammy said as she ran her fingers through his red and orange streaked hair. "I love you. Be safe".

"Always." Jeff said gently as he kissed her and walked out to the stage ramp.

***************************

Tammy watched the monitor anxiously as Matt and Jeff both fell off the ladder over the top rope onto the outside of the ring. A few seconds later Jay and Adam fell off of their ladder only to land with their legs over the ropes nutting themselves. "Whoa! That gotta hurt" Tammy said as Amy, Jackie, and Trish stood by cringing.

"Somebody won't be getting any tonight!" Jackie said as she laughed out loud.

"Oh my God!" Trish yelled and covered her mouth as the Dudley boys gave Adam the 3D.

Tammy stood there praying that Jeff and Matt was okay. They were still lying outside the ring. She started to worry as Bubba got that euphoric look in his eyes that only meant one thing. The tables! Please don't let it be Jeff or Matt going through the tables. No Jeff! Stay out of the ring! Matt no! She had to admit that they definitely were fighters.

"Damn!" The Kat said as she approached the monitor seeing Matt being slammed face first into the steel steps.

Tammy laughed at the idea of the Spanish announcer's table being destroyed. It never failed. It was always the Spanish or the French tables. She'd made a bet with Al Snow about the tables being destroyed tonight. When she made the bet she didn't intend for it to be Matt or Jeff going through the announcer's table. She prayed that they'd stay away from the announcer's tables. She'd hate to win the bet at their expense. She wished she was over writing this match but Vince wouldn't hear of it considering her attachment to four of the men involved. Thank God, they were put through tables instead, no announce tables destroyed. Come on Hardy's you can do this Tammy kept saying to herself.

"Jeff, no!" Tammy exclaimed as The Kat, Amy, Jackie, and Trish held their breath as Jeff removed his shirt as Bubba lay on a table. Jeff started to climb the tallest ladder out there. "Oh no, I can't look!" Tammy shouted as she halfway covered her eyes.

"Girl! Your man is off the chain!" Jackie shouted as Jeff landed a Swanton Bomb on Bubba and they both went through the table. "Atleast Matt is still aware of his surroundings", said Jackie as Matt gave a Twist Of Fate to D- Von.

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Tammy as Adam shoved Matt through a table in the ring just as he almost had the belts. Adam knew how many risks they were going to be taking. "Note to self, choke Adam later!" Tammy thought. Well, after the victory party anyway. Adam and Jay did it! They Won! Tammy excused herself and headed to Jeff's locker room only to be stopped by Shane McMahon.

"Hey Tammy, good news! " Shane said. Your friends Marie, Kathy and Dena from WCW were hired today. Marie will be starting in a few days. She'll be booking the rooms and arenas for the shows. Dena and Kathy will work in hair and make-up and will start in a week".

"Oh great, I can't wait to see them" Tammy exclaimed as she entered the locker room. Uh Oh, Marie? Here? It's bound to be some drama brewing as soon as she arrives. A real character Marie was. They grew up together in Houston Texas. They knew many Texas wrestlers from way back in the days of Paul Boesch's UPW in the Sam Houston Coliseum. They even learned how to wrestle under Mark Callaway, now known as The Undertaker as teenagers. Tammy smiled remembering how she had a huge crush on Sting, she thought Steve Borden would be her husband. They kissed a few times but he told her she was just too young. Boy, was she young back then. She and Marie later went to college together. Then went to Florida in their junior year where they ended up meeting Dwayne. Oh yes, Dwayne would be surprised to see Marie here. Oh yes, the shit is about to hit the fan when Marie arrives. Dena, my crazy cousin. Used to work in a funeral home as a hairstylist and makeup artist until she decided she wanted to work with live art. She and Marie were definitely the wild ones in the group while she and Katharine were more on the quiet side. Katharine could make an 80-year-old look 50. Can't wait to see them. Tammy shook her head and smiled. She went looking for Jeff and Matt because she figured they'd need to be looked after because they were definitely jacked up.

She peeked into the medical attention room to see them being treated by the doctor. Tammy closed the door and bumped into Dwayne.

"Watch it honey" Dwayne said playfully.

"Guess what? Marie, Kathy and Dena has been hired by Vince and Shane", said Tammy.

"No fuckin way!" Dwayne said spitting water onto Tammy's suit jacket. "Oh! Sorry about that, I'll pay for the cleaning" he said apologetically.

"Thanks. Oh, since the announcer's tables weren't broken in the TLC match it's up to you to break them. Tell Hunter and Mick too. I have a $200 bet with Al Snow that atleast one of the tables would be destroyed. I know Mick would love to help me win that bet" Tammy grinned innocently.

Dwayne leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "Sure thing honey, consider it done" he said as he saw Jeff limping towards them.

"Hardy, you are one crazy bastard! Hell, The Rock takes risks but not ones that are career ending. Just so you know, you did give a hell of a performance out there. I'm sure this was one of many more good ones to come from you. Congratulations" Dwayne said as he extended his hand to Jeff. Jeff shook his hand and thanked him. Dwayne looked at Tammy and said, "Do I get a $100 atleast?"

"$50 for each announce table" Tammy replied as Jeff looked at her surprised.

"You're so bad baby. I'm going to go lay down," he said kissing her on the forehead.

"Okay, I need to go watch the cat fight match between Kat and Terri. I definitely have to watch Joanie's match because its my storyline and then I'll be watching the four way match" she said walking away before backing up to kiss him again. "Go rest Jeffy! I mean it!"

***************************

4 Days Later

As Tammy set the tray on the nightstand she watched as a bruised Jeff rolled over and smiled lovingly at her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the bed.

"Jeff, no. Be careful, it's only been four days since your injury. You're still battered and bruised badly sweetie." Tammy said as she caressed his face. "I don't want to hurt you"

Jeff looked her straight in the eyes. "Baby, trust me I'm okay to perform certain tasks"

"Jeff, I still need to take Matt his lunch. He's waiting" Tammy said trying to pull away.

"Well, he can wait for a little while longer" Jeff said softly as he claimed her lips hungrily.

************************

Thirty minutes later Tammy appeared in Matt's room to find him sitting up in bed reading a wrestling magazine. "Sorry it took me so long", Tammy said apologetically.

"No problem" Matt grumbled as he took the tray from her letting his hands brush hers lightly as a surge of electricity passed between them. They both jumped almost spilling the juice on the tray. "Sorry about that, you shocked me" he said.

"I'm sorry as well" she smiled and sat on the edge of the bed. "So, Matt how are you doing? We haven't talked in awhile".

"Not my fault" Matt said as if he was irritated. "You seem to be avoiding me as of late. Why?" he asked flipping the pages of his magazine.

Tammy looked nervous and looked down at the hunter green and gold comforter trying to think of an excuse he'd actually believe. "I haven't been avoiding you. Don't be ridiculous Matt. Why would you say something like that?"

"Well, let's see. You've gone home the past three weekends instead of coming here with us. Then you asked Jeff to go home with you two of those weekends. So, I'm asking you, do I make you uncomfortable?" Matt asked as he threw the magazine down and took her hand in his and started making circles with his thumb on her wrist. Tammy felt trapped. Why were his hands so soft? Is it me or is he actually good looking? His neatly trimmed beard connecting to his sideburns. Tammy thought for the first time since knowing him that he was okay looking. He was actually, a pretty boy? Damn, I need to stop this. Now!

"Matt, I didn't feel right inviting you. Especially with what happened with you and Amy a month ago. I didn't want you to feel like a third wheel"

Matt cleared his throat and cupped her face staring into her brown eyes feeling himself being pulled in by her beauty. "You have beautiful skin. Did you know that? It's so smooth and brown. Like coffee with a little bit of cream. You have the sexiest full lips I've ever seen. You have the kind of lips a man can get drunk off of. They tempt a man to want to taste them" he said as he leaned in and kissed her gently first, then started sucking on her bottom lip while his hands moved from her face to her shoulders then down to her waist pulling her closely.

"Damn baby, you feel so good. Just like I imagined" Matt whispered against her lips.

"No Matt, we can't! Tammy whispered back as she broke away from him knocking over the tray. Matt scrambled out of the bed as the juice fell into his lap. He stood there in his boxers eyeing the floor where the tray laid, then looked over at Tammy staring down. He followed her eyes down to the edge of his boxers where the head of his hard penis was laying against his leg. Feeling embarrassed he turned and pulled his boxers down some to cover up his erection.

"I'll go get a towel," Tammy said as she walked towards the door only to have it shut by Matt who was quickly behind her. He was so close she could feel his breath on her ear as he said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. I don't know what came over me. Can we forget this ever happened?" he asked.

"It can't happen again Matt" she said turning to face him. "Jeff would die if he knew what just happened. If he was to even suspect."

"Look, I got a little out of control. I just want." he paused as he stared into her face and down at her heaving 36 DD breasts. By God, she was nervous as hell he thought. Miss Cool, Calm, and Collected was actually spiraling out of control right before his very eyes. She wanted him he smiled to himself. She was affected by that kiss. Standing before him with her lips red and swollen from his kiss. Wait, he had to consider Jeff. But God, why couldn't she have chosen him. Jeff knew he'd wanted her first when she was hired by the WWF. Jeff kept reminding him that he was with Amy. The little asshole really wanted her for himself, less competition. Matt slammed his hand against the door startling Tammy.

"Damn!" Matt groaned. Her eyes said it all. She knew all along. She knew about his feelings for her, but how? "Tammy, I think you'd better go get that towel now," he said staring into her eyes.

Tammy ducked under his arm and opened the door and ran to the kitchen. She turned the faucet on full blast and splashed water in her face. What in the hell was she thinking? Matt? Oh my God! Matt Hardy was actually sexy. A guy she saw as a brother up until a few minutes ago. She needed to think. Where was Marie when she needed her? She'd know what to do. Tammy walked down the hall to the linen closet and got a few towels. She went back to Matt's room only to see him squatting down putting the food back on the plate. She handed him the towels only for him to grab her hand and stand face to face with her.

"You know don't you? You know I'm in love with you" he asked seriously searching her face for an answer.

"I do now," Tammy said as Jeff walked into the room to see them holding the towels in their hands.

"Do what?" Jeff said as he limped into the room. They both looked at him as if they were busted.

Matt spoke up first, "She now knows how clumsy I am." Jeff looked at them both and smiled.

Jeff grabbed Tammy around her waist and kissed her on the cheek. "Baby, Shannon and Shane called to invite me to go hang with them. You mind if I go?" he asked looking at her like a little kid asking permission to go outside. Tammy looked at Jeff wondering what kind of hanging out.

"Does this hanging out actually consist of you hanging from something?" she asked accusingly.

Jeff shrugged, "Well."

"Jeff?" she said.

"Okay, I'm busted. Hang gliding! Satisfied?" he asked.

"Yes" she replied and added, "As long as you really feel up to it".

Jeff hugged her tight from behind and said, "You of all people know I'm feeling well up to doing many things" he grinned and kissed her ear. Tammy couldn't help but to cut her eyes over at Matt who seemed to be disgusted.

"Can you guys take that shit into your room?" he said staring at Jeff.

"Damn, Matt your cranky as hell as of late. You definitely need to get laid. Maybe Tam can fix you up with her friend Marie" Jeff laughed squeezing Tammy tight.

"Don't do me any damn favors!" Matt tossed the wet towels into the bathroom and slammed the door shut behind him with a thud causing them both to jump.

Tammy grabbed Jeff's hand and led him down the hall to their bedroom and gently closed the door. "Jeff, maybe we should lay off the lovey dovey stuff in front of Matt. I mean I think it bothers him because he doesn't have anybody right now"

"Why should we be careful around a grown ass man? He didn't consider my feelings when he and Amy first got together".

"Please baby?" she said staring into his green eyes.

"Okay, but when this Hardcore match comes up at Backlash, I'm going to knock some sense into his ass" Jeff said as he stepped into the closet to grab a shirt.

"Jeff. I hate to see you two going at it" Tammy said sadly.

"It's all him lately. Besides, at Backlash you will be pulling for your man, right?" Jeff said playfully pulling her close.

"No, I'll be pulling for both you and Matt" Tammy said laughing.

"And if it's just he and I?" Jeff asked.

"Then it's you I'll choose baby," she said kissing him gently.

************************* 3 Weeks Later: Backlash

Matt and Jeff entered the MCI center separately. Tammy and Dwayne were sitting down having lunch with Adam, Chris, and Jay when Matt joined them.

"What's up guys?" Matt said.

"You" said Adam. "What up with you and your brother, man?"

"He's been acting crazy, man. Did you see what he did to me last week in the hardcore match with the trash can?" Matt asked.

Dwayne looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure this isn't about something personal?"

"No man, seriously, he's even disappeared after our matches for the past few weeks. Ask Tammy" Matt said. "We always end up having to catch a ride with Chris or Adam & Jay. I'm considering renting my own car from now on".

Dwayne looked at Tammy with a shocked look on his face. "Is that true?" he asked her.

"Yes, Jeff has been off to himself the past few weeks. He goes off to himself like he's in a bad mood. I caught him drawing a few nights ago. I just figured the pressure of wrestling was getting to him or the pain" she answered.

"Damn, I didn't know you two were having problems" Jay said.

"Lay off, Jackass! She just said he's been to himself. They aren't breaking up junior!" Chris Jericho said as he popped Jay upside the head trying to give him a hint to watch what he was saying.

"I'm sure he'll come around soon", Matt said biting into his food. He looked at Tammy with a concerned look on his face. "It will work out Tammy," he said touching her hand. As he did so, Dwayne and Adam looked at one another wondering was there more going on than Tammy and Matt were willing to admit.

Stephanie McMahon walked in and motioned to Matt for him to come cut a scene with Jeff before the Hardcore Title match against Tazz, Perry Saturn, Crash and Bob Holly.

Right BeforeThe Hardy Promo

"You better stop acting like an ass!" Matt yelled at Jeff.

"Me? You're the one walking around moping like you have a problem" Jeff accused.

"You no longer respect me!" Matt said.

"Bullshit! I've always respected you, you're my big bro" Jeff replied as he turned and looked at Matt.

(Cameras started rolling)

"Look man, we might have to square off against one another tonight. We'll work together as long as we can, but if it comes down to me and you versus Crash for the Hardcore title, then I'm not holding anything back" said Matt.

"Well, I guess not man. You damn near broke my jaw last week. Don't expect for me to hold back on you either" Jeff said seriously as he started to stretch.

"It's not like it's the first time we've fought each other" Matt mumbled.

"Then I guess we have an understanding don't we?" Jeff asked.

"And cut!" yelled the cameraman. They both looked dumbfounded. Stephanie was smiling. "You guys were so real!"

"That's because we were really talking" Matt replied with his hands on his hips.

"Let's head out to the ring to practice", Jeff said as he cut his eyes at Stephanie and the cameramen.

************************

Later on that night

Tammy was watching the Hardcore match on the monitor when Dwayne entered with a huge black guy.

"I wanted to introduce you to a buddy of mine, "Michael Clarke Duncan" Dwayne said.

"Mr. Duncan, it's a pleasure to meet you" Tammy said extending her hand to him.

"The pleasure is all mine, please call me Michael" he said kissing her on the hand.

"Oh, okay. Michael it is" she said blushing and eyeing Dwayne who was grinning from ear to ear.

"So, are you free for dinner tonight?" Michael asked as Dwayne stepped between them and pulled their hands apart.

"Damn man, she has a man. I can't take your ass nowhere," Dwayne said sarcastically.

"Oh, she you, dog?" Michael said pointing at Dwayne.

"No, the crazy blond guy with red and orange hair swinging off the damn props on the monitor" Dwayne said as he walked closer to the monitor watching the match with interest.

"Shit, that's one crazy white boy. I see I'm not exciting enough for you. If it don't work out call me. Dwayne has my number" Michael laughed as he headed back out to his front row seat.

"He was charming" Tammy said sweetly.

"I have to stop bringing my friends around your sexy ass" Dwayne said twirling her around taking a look at her black pants and lavender shirt. "Since when did you start dressing like this at work? If you were dressed like this earlier I'd have noticed".

"Well, if you must know, we're going out dancing later. Want to come?" she asked.

"Hell yea, save me a dance," Dwayne said.

"Which of your many girlfriends will you be bringing tonight?" she asked sarcastically.

"Why, you jealous? Why don't you just try keeping your hands off of your man's brother!" he said as he opened the door.

"Oh, no you didn't!" Tammy said. "First of all, it's not even like that. Okay?"

"Damn, don't get mad at me because I pushed your buttons. Learn how to control your damn emotions sometimes and."

"Dwayne!" she interrupted. "I will not argue with you about this. Leave it alone!"

Dwayne sauntered up to her and looked her straight in the eye, "If you weren't a close friend of mine I'd spank that ass. You are so damn hardheaded. As far as this conversation goes, consider it done. I see you'll have to learn the hard way". He left slamming the door behind him just as she kicked her chair over. She knew he was right.

********************

Later at the Club

Matt, Amy, Chris, Jay, Adam, Jackie, Trish, Andrew, Dwayne and his date Jessica approached the table as Tammy, Paul, and Joanie were accepting their drinks from the waitress.

"Hey Trish, got wood?" Paul laughed referring to her being put through a table by the Dudleys earlier.

"Very funny, Paul! I need a drink. My back is killing me," Trish said rubbing her lower back.

"Baby, maybe we should have a few drinks and then get you to bed" Andrew said to Trish while motioning for a waitress.

"Hey Rock, don't think you'll have that belt for long" Paul said.

"Face it Paul, Game Over!" Dwayne replied as everyone at the table let out oohs and laughed at the comment made by Dwayne. Paul shot the finger at him.

Amy spoke up; "Good match Joanie".

"Thanks, atleast you weren't in your underwear" Joanie laughed.

"Hey, that was the best part of the match baby" Paul said pulling her in for a kiss.

"You guys are always horny" Amy laughed.

"Maybe we should be sometimes" Chris said matter of factly.

"Romance, Chris. That's all I have to say" Amy said rolling her eyes before grabbing his hand and pulling him to the dance floor.

"Couldn't find Jeff anywhere", Matt said apologetically as he slid in the booth next to Tammy.

"Don't worry about it. I'm going to have some fun tonight with or without him" Tammy replied cheerfully.

"Want to dance?" Adam asked Tammy.

"I'd love to" she said as she took his hand and headed to the dance floor. "Too Close" by Next was playing as Tammy and Adam was grinding on one another. Amy had one leg draped across Jericho's waist. Matt was smiling but couldn't help feeling a pang of jealousy. He figured he'd ask Tammy to dance after Adam.

"Work it girl!" Dwayne yelled as he grabbed his date Jessica's arm pulling her to the floor.

As the song ended "Ray of Light" by Madonna began. Jay ran out and started dancing with Tammy. He then found himself surrounded by Tammy, Joanie, Amy, Jessica, and Trish as they circled him and took advantage of him on the dance floor. After the song ended he came back to the table smiling like he'd hit the lottery.

"Dudes, I had major ass and tits in my hands. I am the man!" he said taking a swig of his beer.

The guys laughed and drank as the women had a good time on the dance floor. Matt waited about 5 songs before sauntering onto the dance floor and asking Tammy to dance. They danced to "Let's Ride" by Master P and Montel Jordan. It was definitely a bump and grind song. They kept space between them staying aware that they could have an audience watching them. Then "You Make Me Wanna" by Usher started to play. Matt and Tammy felt as if this was too much. "Somebody upstairs is playing a cruel joke on us" shouted Matt. Tammy agreed until she saw Jericho at the DJ booth whispering to the DJ as he went through his music. "I don't think so," said Tammy nodding towards the DJ booth. Matt looked over his shoulder, "That assclown! He thinks he's fucking funny". Soon everyone was on the floor dancing to "Thong Song" by Sisqo. Matt switched with Paul and danced with Joanie as "Jumpin Jumpin" by Destiny's Child played. Tammy turned a few minutes later only to be face to face with Jericho as "All the Small Things" by Blink 182 blared loudly, which caused her to keep laughing throughout the dance as he imitated moves from the video. Amy soon danced over to Chris and Tammy danced with Dwayne to "Hot Boyz" by Missy Elliott and "Big Pimpin" by Jay Z. Everyone was having a good time. Andrew pulled Tammy to him as "Shake Ya Ass" by Mystikal started to play. Before she knew it she was in front of Matt just when "Breathe" by Faith Hill started.

"A country song?" Matt said surprised that everyone was busy slow dancing.

"Hey I love Faith Hill. I especially like Clint Black and Reba McEntire" Tammy said smiling at the shocked look he gave her.

"You are just full of surprises aren't you?" Matt asked.

"Think so? I love all types of music plus I'm a Texas girl", she said.

"I like Pearl Jam" Matt said looking into her brown eyes.

"I've heard of them but never heard any of their music," she said.

"What? Girl I have to take you to a concert. You don't know what real music is. Real music makes you think" Matt told her as he closed his eyes and listened to the words of the song :

I can feel the magic floating in the air

Being with you gets me that way

I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've

Never been this swept away All my thoughts seem to settle on the breeze

When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms

The whole world just fades away

The only thing I hear

Is the beating of your heart

Matt pulled her closer to him, letting his hand slide down to her waist. He laid his head on her shoulder and caught the light scent of her hair. It smelled like fresh strawberries. This song was nice he thought.

'Cause I can feel you breathe

It's washing over me

Suddenly I'm melting into you

There's nothing left to prove

Baby all we need is just to be

Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

I can feel you breathe

Just breathe

Tammy could feel his breathing increase as they swayed to the music. She felt him grinding on her. Or was he? Was she grinding on him as well? All she knew is that he felt so good to her. He smelled good too. She pulled back only to see him pulling back to look at her as well. He had the most beautiful brown eyes. They appeared to have turned light brown under the club lights. He smiled at her staring into her eyes seeming to know what she was thinking.

In a way I know my heart is waking up

As all the walls come tumbling down

I'm closer than I've ever felt before

And I know

And you know

There's no need for words right now 'Cause I can feel you breathe

It's washing over me

Suddenly I'm melting into you

There's nothing left to prove

Baby all we need is just to be

Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

Matt leaned towards her and kissed her on the lips quickly as he turned and placed his right cheek against her right one. He hoped it was too fast for anyone to see the kiss. "I want you so bad right now that I'm about to explode" he whispered against her hair. "I'm so fucking hot for you baby", he said as he pulled back and stared her in the face. "Leave with me right now" he asked. She took his hand and they headed towards the club exit only to come face to face with Jeff.

"Where are you guys going?" Jeff asked accusingly.

"To find you" Matt answered quickly.

"Well, I'm here now" Jeff said as he put his arm around her shoulder and led her back to the dance floor as "Waiting for Tonight" by Jennifer Lopez blared over the sound system. Jeff was all over her. Tammy tried to keep him from being too wild and crazy. He was acting like he had something to prove.

"Jeff, chill baby" she told him putting her arms around his shoulders.

"You weren't telling all of the WWF roster to chill for the past 30 minutes. I saw you dancing and acting like a slut", Jeff said in a slurred voice.

She slapped his face, "You're drunk", Tammy said and walked off the dance floor and joined everyone at the table.

"You okay?" Matt asked.

"Yes, but your brother is drunk" she answered.

"You ready to go?" Amy asked.

"Yes, let's go" Tammy stood up and took the last swig of her Apple Martini and left for the hotel.

*************************

As Tammy and Amy stepped off the elevator they came face to face with Stephanie McMahon and a tall blond man. They appeared to be very much in love. They were arm in arm kissing and giggling to the point that Tammy was almost literally sick.

"Hi, you guys", Stephanie said enthusiastically. "This is my fiancee Robert Marks".

Amy and Tammy looked at one another astonished at what she'd just said. No one knew Stephanie was even involved with anyone. They saw Robert stick his hand out and they both took it one after the other trying to hold in their surprise that Stephanie actually made time for a man in her life.

"Nice to meet you. I've never seen you around here before" said Amy.

"That's because I'm a lawyer. I travel a lot. Matter of fact let me give the two of you my card" replied Robert as he went into his coat pocket and presented them each with his business card.

"Oh thanks, maybe I'll need a good lawyer one day" Tammy smiled eyeing Stephanie who appeared to be beaming with pride.

"Well, you guys have a good night" Stephanie said as they entered the elevator.

"Oh, you know I will once Jeff gets here", Tammy laughed as she casually waved her hand at Stephanie as the look of surprise masked Stephanie's face as the elevator doors closed.

"Girl! You are so crazy!" Amy said as she pushed Tammy down the hall to her room.

"I get so tired of her always hanging over Jeff at work. She claims she looks at him as a brother. She never hangs on Shane that way. But then again, I do get a little jealous over little things sometimes. I need to treat her nicer, besides she has a man" Tammy said as she looked back at the elevators.

"Mmm-hmm, a fine one!" Amy said as she pulled her red hair out of the ponytail she'd been wearing.

They entered the room and both plopped down on the couch and tried to relax. Amy stared at Tammy trying to figure out a way of asking her friend something that she'd been dying to know.

"So, are you in love with him?" Amy asked straight out.

Tammy jerked her head up towards Amy. "You know I'll always love Jeff. He is my first love".

"I'm not talking about Jeff. I'm referring to Matt", Amy said.

"Amy! He's Jeff's brother. I can't go there" Tammy answered.

Amy looked at her sadly. "Even if it's killing you and Matt being unable to express your true feelings for one another?"

"We're trying to do the right thing Ames. It's getting harder since Jeff has been picking fights with us both. You don't think he knows do you?' Tammy asked nervously.

"No, but he'll figure it out like Adam has. Relax, Adam won't say a word. He's cool. I notice him watching you and Matt a lot. He knows and if he doesn't he'll figure it out" Amy replied. "So, where were you and Matt headed earlier? And was that a kiss I saw as you two were dancing?"

"What? Okay, I can't lie. We were about to leave to go somewhere to be alone but we ran into Jeff. Maybe it's good he showed up"

"Well", Amy said standing up and stretching. "I'm going to my room to get some sleep. You rest too. Which Hardy are you staying with tonight?" Amy asked jokingly.

Tammy threw a pillow at her head missing by a few inches as it hit the door. "Both. Somehow I doubt if either one will be here anytime soon" she said staring at the two beds.

"Yeah, Jeff is probably off somewhere getting plastered and Matt is probably somewhere beating off" Amy laughed as she opened the door and left.

**********************

Tammy lay awake for hours it seemed. What made Jeff act this way? He was starting to become more of a daredevil lately. She remembered the times they'd stay up talking for hours. He'd opened up to her and let her read his poetry. Tammy laughed at the thought of the times he came to bed as one of his wrestling characters from his childhood. She never knew if she'd be making love to Iceman, Galaxian or Mean Jimmy Jack Tomkins. She never told Jeff she liked Wolverine, Willow the Whisp and Gladiator best. Hell, he'd even gotten her on a motorcycle. That shit didn't just happen easily. On their days off they'd sit outside and watch the animals. Jeff would even get up and go play with the animals, which surprised Tammy because most wildlife wouldn't let you near them. He was definitely one of a kind. She remembered the many times she'd watch him ride his motorcycle around the track he'd had built on his property. She even supported him when he wanted to build a little volcano on the track to jump over. Yes, he scared her more than any other boyfriend she'd ever had. Every match could be his last. She loved him but she couldn't deny that things were changing between them. They hadn't made love in weeks. That just wasn't normal. Finally she felt sleepy and dozed off into a peaceful sleep. At 4:30 in the morning, Matt and Jeff both returned to the room. Matt crashed onto his bed and was asleep instantly. Jeff slid into bed beside her and scooted up close to her and kissed her on the neck.

"I'm sorry baby", he said gently.

She didn't reply and pretended to be asleep. The next thing she knew he was pulling the covers back and turning her over.

"Jeff what are you doing? Tammy asked sleepily.

"I want to be with you," he said with a sexy tone in his voice.

"Jeff no, Matt is in the room" she said.

"Matt is knocked out, dead to the world. He won't hear us. I'll be quiet if you are. Come on baby, I'm laying here hard as a rock. You always told me a good dick is hard to find so why let a hard dick go to waste" he laughed as he kissed her on her neck.

"Jeff I don't know", Tammy replied.

"Trust me, we'll be quiet" he said as he slid under the covers and removed her panties.

Jeff licked his lips and delved between her legs with his tongue. She gasped. Jeff licked her between her thighs gently then returned to her most sensitive spot. She grasped his head with one hand and the sheet with the other. He continued to lick her pussy until her clit was hard and sensitive to the slightest touch. He raised up and kissed her while positioning himself between her legs. He planned on just putting the head of his dick in to tease her but once he felt how slick and wet she was he couldn't hold back. He pushed into her and started pumping like a madman. She started to let little whimpers escape her mouth as she tried to breathe through her nose. Jeff grabbed her waist and lifted her up so he could bury himself deeper inside her. As he felt her start convulsing around him he couldn't control himself any longer and started to jerk as he started to cum harder than he'd ever remembered. "Oh baby, you make me cum until I can't move", he said lazily as he collapsed on top of her.

"Shhh, be quiet Jeff. You're too loud", Tammy whispered.

"Oh, sorry baby. You just make me so hot. I think I'm ready for more" he said as he started to suck on her nipples gently.

They heard a loud groan from across the room. "Guys! You are killing me over here!" Matt muttered through his pillow. "We definitely have to start getting separate rooms! I can't take it anymore. The panting and grunting like animals. Will you two knock it off and get some sleep!" he shouted pulling the covers over his head.

"Sorry bro, we didn't know you could hear us. Are you hard over there? If you are I'm sure Tammy wouldn't mind helping you get off" Jeff said teasingly.

Both Tammy and Matt sat up and said "What?"

Jeff laughed out loud and shook his head. "I was just bullshitting you guys, damn! I need to go piss", he said as he headed to the bathroom pushing his red and blue hair out of his face and closed the door.

"That was close!" Matt let out a long exasperated sigh.

"I'm sorry Matt. About what just happened, I don't want to hurt you. I'm so embarrassed," she said covering her face.

Matt looked at her seriously. "Stop sleeping with him then".

"What?" Tammy asked looking confused by his request.

"Stop sleeping with my brother. That's how you can stop hurting me. Can you do that?" he challenged.

"Jeff will know something is wrong" she said looking over at Matt hoping he'd stop pressuring her.

"Your killing me Angelface" Matt groaned lying back on the bed.

"Don't call me that. I'm far from an angel" she whispered as she heard the water turn off in the bathroom.

"You are an angel to me. It should have been us in that bed tonight. Remember that" he said as he turned his back to her and faced the wall.

Tammy lay there in Jeff's arms for hours staring over at Matt's bed. She heard him tossing and turning. She wondered if he was watching her in the darkness. She finally got sleepy as the sun started to rise and spill light into the room. As she slowly started to see the back of her lids as her eyes closed she saw Matt's face. He was staring right at her.
