Chapter 4: Gaining Control, Losing Control

Moments later Amy pulled away from Shane's lips. She was now a little flushed and it was obvious to Shane that the kiss had some kind of affect on her. He assumed it was a good one.

"Shane, I'm sorry. I should have never done that." Amy said trying to straighten up and regain her composure.

"Why?" Shane asked trying on purpose to get under her skin a little.

"Because you're my boss, I don't even really know you, and you're married."

Shane smiled. Obviously Marissa was the last person on his mind, and being reminded of the fact that he was married did nothing to keep him from wanting more from Amy. He'd tested the merchandise, now he wanted to buy.

"Adam was married and that didn't stop you, I'm not technically your boss, Vince is, and I want you to get to know me." Shane replied, shamelessly and full of confidence.

Amy had to admit, Shane's arrogance was quite sexy. It's something that attracted her to Adam as well. At the same time, Matt's humility and down to earth manner were two qualities that swept Amy off her feet when they first met. He was the opposite of arrogant and treated her like a queen. Unfortunately, that got old real quick. Amy soon discovered that Matt lacked confidence as well. He was always comparing himself to other guys, or trying so hard to show he was better than everyone else. Shane didn't have to do that though. He had the money, the looks and had rarely heard the word 'no" when it came to women or anything for that matter.

Shane inched over to Amy closer. He placed his hand on her face and let it drift through her soft hair.

"You are an amazing woman. We both have needs Amy. Don't let titles or status get in the way of something beautiful." Shane said, sensing that he would eventually be able to get exactly what he wanted from Amy, and it was certainly more than a kiss.

Amy couldn't help but to get sucked into Shane's little world. There were a million women who would die to be in her shoes. As Shane's lips started to drift closer to hers once again, Amy turned away at the last minute.

"Shane I'm sorry. I can't do this." She said.

Having the confidence that he could break Amy at some point, Shane pulled away. He knew if he wanted it, he could go out and get laid by just about any ring rat or woman at the local hotel bar any time he desired it, but that's not what he wanted. Instead, he needed a challenge. Someone to add a spice to life. Amy was proving to fit that bill quite nicely and Shane wasn't complaining. At least not yet.

"Look, shows almost over. Why don't we head back downstairs." Shane advised.

Amy let a sigh of relief escape her. She wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. She hated the fact that she had lost some control of the situation, and needed to regroup. Otherwise, God only knows what might have happened.

Before they left, Amy couldn't help but to worry about what might happen next. Shane was a powerful man, and she had flat out refused his advances.

"Shane, is everything going to be okay? I mean, the woman's title is still mine, right?"

Shane laughed.

"Of course. What kind of guy do you think I am? Hey, don't worry about what happened here. Believe me, if you would have let me get as far as I wanted to go, I probably would have lost respect for you. Then you'd have to worry about the title." He replied, and then opened the door for Amy and let her walk ahead of him as they left. Again, admiring the view from behind.

As Amy walked to the woman's locker room to gather her things and head back to the hotel, she saw Adam from a distance waving her towards his direction.

"Hey baby doll, you see the match?" Adam asked. His eyes big and a wide smile stretched across his face.

"Of course I did." Amy said, although it was a complete lie.

"I tried looking for you before the match, where were you? No one's seen you for at least an hour." Adam asked.

Amy's heart skipped. She for some reason felt guilty being with Shane alone in the owner's box even though she hadn't really done anything. Sure she kissed a married man, but it was his idea. He was the aggressor. And after all, she did pull away. The last thing Amy wanted to do was start lying. She had lied long enough to Matt and it broke his heart. She didn't want to start lying now to her best friend and ex-lover.

"Well, I was with Shane McMahon in the owner's box. He invited me up there to watch the action." She said nonchalantly.

Adam raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, okay." He replied. Then there was a moment of silence as Adam tried to figure out if he should say what he wanted to say. "Not that I need to tell you this Amy, but Shane likes to flirt, so just be careful when you are alone with him. Okay?" He said once again smiling down at her.

"Adam, you're killing me. I'm not exactly Shane's type, and I can handle myself."

"Okay, it's just I know how guys can be when they're around beautiful woman. And, I know we agreed it was best for our careers if we were just friends, but, I still love you Amy." Adam admitted as he looked off to the floor.

Amy smiled up at Adam. She still loved him as well and thought maybe if circumstances were different, they would still be together. But for now, her career was the most important thing in her life. She had seen what happened to Matt and she didn't want to risk losing her job. Even if it meant letting go of the one she loved.
