A/N: Glad to see such a positive response to Shane and Ray, don't celebrate
just yet, more drama to come, the song, *NSync's Gone
Shane watched her lithe body squirm underneath him in unbridled passion. As she climaxed she cried out.
"Shane, I love you, I love you so much." He climaxed with her, and the sound of her voice.
He kissed her forehead, staying inside her. For a while neither one of them said anything. Not wanting to ruin the beautiful moment that was just shared between them.
"I love you too beautiful, I always have." He said finally.
She smiled up at him, "What took you so long to tell me that?"
"I wanted you to be happy, and I thought you were," he fell silent, he was lying to her, and he knew it.
"Liar."
"Busted."
"You know Shane,"
"What's that gorgeous?"
"I still love John,"
He didn't want to hear that. He had just felt the most incredible moments of his life with her, he didn't want to hear about how she loved John, but of course he didn't say that.
"Just tell me something,"
"Anything," she said looking up at her, her black/blue hair surrounded her body like a blanket.
"Any regrets?" His body was hardening again at the sight of her, not to mention her body was doing delicious things to his.
"Glad to hear it," he said taking them once more to that place that they both wanted to be and neither wanted to leave.

Mark and Paul waited as the kids got dressed and ready to return back to the areanas.
"So," Paul looked at Mark from across the table, "Tell me about Ray."
"She's incredible." Mark smiled.
"Tell me about it, what I mean is tell me what happened to her,"
"Oh," Mark stared down into his coffee mug. He sighed, "Well when she was just an infant, her father murdered her mother, and attempted to murder her."
Paul looked on intently, listening, though not believing what he was hearing.
"He recently made parole and found her. He attempted to finish what he started, but he again wasn't successful, he did however rape her."
"That would explain the dark shadows that you would see in her eyes say when a strange male was in the shop."
"Yeah, if she's not too familiar with you, you can forget her trying to be friendly. She usually leaves the room completely."
"Well she was trying to keep up her boy routine."
"Yeah, she's good at that, anyway, she was adopted by her mother's supposed best friend, Lydia and her family, but it seems as if, in some mysterious freak accident, both Lydia's husband Kevin and her son Corey were both killed."
"Oh shit!"
"Tell me about it."
"Well Jesus, she's been through hell."
"I know."
"Meanwhile, how would you say she's holding up?"
"What can I say? Ray is a helluva kid, she's strong, and though she tries to be strong, you can see there are things she's not over yet. Hell things she may never get over."
"Well I'll say."
"Kids," Mark called upstairs, trying to lighten the conversation, "Let's get a move on."
"Coming daddy," Ray called back, "I'm just going to say goodbye to the boys."
"Okay, move your asses." Mark smiled, "She's a good kid."
"I agree with you there, but tell me about this kid with the green hair."
"That's her best friend, Shane."
"Best friend my ass, you mean they aren't dating?"
"No, darlin's boyfriend's name is John."
"I thought for sure that was her boyfriend, the way they were looking at one another."
"Well he's totally in love with her,"
"Well that's obvious," Paul chuckled, "Ray has some love for him too."
"Oh, not a doubt in my mind." Mark laughed.
"So why are they dating?"
"I really don't know. I wish they were, I see him as a great son in law."
"Yeah, they seem like they match."
Ray ran down to Mikey's room, "I'm going to miss you so much."
"Me too kiddo, hey, I'll call you."
"You bet your sweet ass you will."
"Give me a hug." He gave Ray a good squeeze, "Take care of Mark, he needs it."
"I will. I got to go see Pauly before I go."
"He's probably still dead to the world, but there's his room." Mikey said pointing in the direction of his older brother's room.
Ray jogged down the hall, "Pauly, get your lazy ass out of bed and say goodbye to your little sister." She pounded on the door.
He opened the door, a sleepy halo around his face, "You're heading out?"
"Yeah, damn, I'm going to miss you."
"Same here, no one to pick on."
"I feel you. Take care of yourself while I'm gone. And call me. That goes for Vinnie, Cody, Campo, and Justin. Mikey has my cell number."
"Okay. I will." He gave her a hug. "Go on before our fathers have a fit."
"Okay. Bye."
"No bye, see you later."
"Yeah, see you later."
Ray bounded down the steps in her oversize tank top and little shorts, Shane right behind her. Mark took one look at them, looked over at Paul and said simply.
"They slept together."
"How do you know?"
"She's my daughter, I know her. And he's as close to a son as I'm going to be for a while, and I know him too."
Paul smiled, "Thought you said she had a boyfriend."
"Did. Never said she was happy with him. This is good. This I will give my blessing."
"Uncle Paul, how can I thank you?"
"I don't know, but for now let's just settle on a big hug and a kiss on the cheek."
"Okay, but if you ever need someone to get Pauly's ass in gear, I'm you girl."
"I know honey, hey I have an idea, why don't you leave the bike and your truck here and I'll make sure it gets to your home."
"Okay, but send my bike to Shane's, you don't mind do you?"
"No, not at all."
"Good that way we can take a plane."
"Exactly."
"Okay, I'll be calling you," Paul said.
"Thank you for everything," Mark shook his hand watching his daughter and her best friend walk out the door, "I got it from here." ************************************************************************
SHOUT!
HEAVY, YOU WANT IT HEAVY
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship, introducing first, from Boston, Mass, she weighs in at 190 lbs. she is the Intercontinental Champion, Torrid, the Slayer."
Get your head right, no matter who is at the other end of that ring, seek and destroy.
WORD LIFE!
THIS IS BASIC THUGANOMICS.
"And the challenger, he weighs in at 235 lbs, John Cena."
Ray narrowed her eyes, like I said, seek and destroy.
"How does it feel to be back?" Adam asked as she placed her belt back in her bag.
"Great as always, I mean I loved the O.C.C. crew, but they aren't my boys." She smiled.
"Where's John?" Marc asked.
"I'm guessing getting his knee checked out. The Destructive Force is no joke."
"So I'm told." He chuckled.
"Don't you think that you should've at least gone to check on me?" John asked limping in the room.
"I figured you weren't dying, and I was right." Ray glared at him. "Unfortunately," she muttered.
"Is there a problem?" John asked.
"You tell me, is there?"
"No."
"Then why do you ask questions you know the answer too?"
"Whatever," John stormed out the room.
"She's back." Paul said as John stormed passed him.
"Damn right."
"Watch your mouth!" They shouted.
