AN: OK guys, here is the next chapter. My muse was a little sappy for the first part. I hope you enjoy anyway. Same as before, Vince owns it. I only own Victoria. Please review!
When Shawn walked into the room I was speechless. I had lost the ability to move, speak or hear. It was fantasy come to life standing right before me. After a couple of minutes I was able to clear the fog in my head and I realized that Shawn was slowly moving toward me with a predatory look in his eyes. Neither one of us spoke as he moved closer and closer to my bed. When he reached the edge of the bed he finally spoke, "Do you see something you like Victoria?" all the while giving me a come hither smirk. I still could not speak; my mouth was dry as sand, and my tongue felt thick as leather. All I could do is look up at him and nod. My eyes wide.
Moving in the same predatory manner Shawn swiftly swooped down on the bed using his body to pin me to the bed, using his hands to pin my arms above my head he began kissing me thoroughly. I loved the feel of his huge body pinning me to the bed my body was alive with the feeling and my heart was pounding. After a few minutes of this, I suddenly realized that the pounding in my ears was not my heart as I had first thought. It was after I felt Shawn get up off of the bed that I realized that there was someone pounding on the door. As Shawn pulled on some sweats, I got up and slipped in the bathroom so that it would not be quite so obvious what had been happening in the room only a few minutes before as I knew it would be written all over my face.
From my spot behind the closed bathroom door, I could hear Shawn talking to someone at the hotel room door. "I am so sorry to bother you this late at night Shawn, but Vince wanted you to have this right away. Vince feels that the current angles are too stiff. He wants to switch things around immediately, so he insisted that I bring this to you right away" the mystery person says. I hear Shawn grumble his acknowledgement then close the door. I also hear Shawn grumbling as he walks back into the room. The interruption had burst the bubble of magic that had washed over us earlier. My confidence had ebbed away after the interruption and I feared that it would be awkward if I headed back into the room immediately, so I decided to run a bath and soak away my frustration.
While in the bath, I let all of my insecurities take over. I know that I told Rena that I was not worried that Shawn was using me and that if that was the case then so be it, but in truth I was a little frightened of where it would all lead. Although I try to come off as a ballsy bitch to everyone, in truth, I am a big mass of Jell-O inside at times. I had certainly not come on this vacation to become involved with someone, and now here I am teetering on the edge. I knew myself well enough to know that it would not take much for Shawn to own me heart, body and soul—and that could be dangerous. As I got dressed and prepared to go into the next room I wondered if I would be strong enough to survive where this tidal wave was leading me.
I opened the bathroom door and nervously walked into the main room. Shawn was lying across the bed reading the script that had been delivered. He looked up at me when he heard me walk into the room. "What took you so long? Is everything ok?" He asked looking concerned.
"Yeah, everything's fine. I just decided to take a quick soak in the tub while I was in there. What's the big change Vince wanted to make?" I asked indicating the new script. I hoped this would cause a change in subject.
"Vicks look at me. There is something wrong isn't there?" Shawn asked turning me to face him.
"No, I told you that everything's fine!"
"No, it's not. Did I move too fast when I kissed you a little while ago? I'm sorry if I'm moving too fast, I just can't help myself. I know that sounds crazy, but it's true. You wonder if what Rena said is true don't you? Please don't believe it. From the first moment I saw you I felt this connection to you and realized that I had to have you as part of my life. I can't promise I won't hurt you, but I will do my damndest not to." Shawn promised pulling me down on the bed beside him.
I looked into his eyes and could see all of the raw emotions in his eyes. It was at that moment that I realized he was telling me the truth. I also knew that I owed him the same thing. I could feel myself relaxing in his arms. "I'm not sorry that you kissed me the way you have any time we have kissed." I reassured him. "I am sorry that I let my doubts in, but everything has happened so fast and it scares me. I also felt something intense, and I also know that I could loose myself in the feeling. I know that I come across as this afraid of nothing ballsy bitch, but that's not the way it is." I finally looked up at Shawn and saw him looking at me with such a tender look that my chest ached.
"Just trust me please." He said as he pulled me close and began kissing me again. He then reaches down and pulls the hem of my nightshirt up over my head. I run my hands over his body feeling the sheer power of his muscles moving under his skin. As Shawn is trailing hot kisses and light nips down my body he whispers the words that I only hoped to hear 'I love you'. I realize that Shawn now not only possesses my body, but he also possesses my heart and soul; I will never be able to refuse him anything.
Shawn and I never did get any sleep that night. We talked, made love, and had raw powerful sex all night. We then sat together watching the sun come up. Unfortunately this was also a travel day, so we would not be able to rest anytime soon. The wake up call that Shawn arranged for came promptly at 6:30 that morning, and burst the bubble that Shawn and I had formed around us.
"Baby we better get up now, or I will not be able to let you out of bed for the rest of the day." Shawn said as he hung up the phone.
"I don't wanna. Can't we just stay here? I'm not sure that I will be able to walk after everything you did to me last night." I say trying to pull the covers over my head.
"I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of the day in bed with you, but I don't think that Vince would understand." Shawn said pulling the covers off of me. "And sweetheart, don't complain now about what I did to you last night. As a matter of fact you seemed to give as good as you got."
"Um, yeah. It was nice." I smiled looking up at the sight of a rumpled Shawn. Man did he look good!
"Come on baby what you say we take a steamy shower and work out some of that soreness. We can't have you in pain now can we? Besides, we are supposed to meet everyone downstairs for breakfast before we leave." Shawn picks me up and carries me to the bathroom.
"Why do I get the feeling that this shower will be about everything but getting clean." I laugh.
Naturally we ended up being about twenty minutes late meeting everyone in the hotel diner. Neither Shawn or I could pass up the opportunity to explore each other's bodies in the daylight. We entered the diner hand in hand to see Kevin, Trish and a few others setting at a table in the back. Everyone is staring at us as we make our way hand in hand to the table. Mark is the first one to speak. "Have a good night you guys?"
"Yes, thank you Mark, as a matter of fact we did." Shawn answers as he helps me in my chair. I grab a menu and quickly bury my head in it. I know everyone is staring at us. I also know that I am blushing furiously. Off to my left I hear a groan and know instantly that it is Kevin. I peek over my menu and see that Kevin has his face buried in his hands and he is groaning.
"Can we please change the subject?" Kevin pleads. He looks like he is trying not to blush.
We made it through the breakfast without any further incident. We all then went our separate ways heading to the next house show. Shawn and I once again rode to the next city with Kevin and Trish. I was not as nervous with Kevin's driving this time, thanks to Shawn keeping me entertained in the back seat. We spent the entire drive quietly talking and getting to know each other better.
When we arrived in town we went straight to the arena. There were already several wrestlers there along with the Raw crew. Even though it was a house show there was a great deal of buzz going around backstage because of all the sudden changes to the story lines. Trish, Kevin and Shawn all had to attend a meeting that was called by Vince, so I was once again left to my own devices.
Because of the meeting, the arena was virtually deserted. I wondered around back stage for a few minutes, before heading out to the ring area with a book in my hand. I figured I would wait out here for a little while, and hopefully get to watch from the shadows as the wrestlers went through their workouts and putting the matches together. I was so interested in my book that I did not notice someone walk up to me until they spoke.
"Look Jackie, this is the little rat I was telling you about. Shawn is just playing with her until he gets what he wants. He'll get tired of her soon, and come running to me." Rena says to Jackie Gayda who is standing next to her. "And from what I hear, he has already gotten what he wanted, so it will only be a matter of time before he comes running to me." She and Jackie look at each other and giggle like mindless idiots. "Hmmm... I don't know... I don't want to look too eager; maybe I should make him wait and work for my attention. I don't want to look too eager. What do you think Jackie?" Jackie can only look at everyone and giggle. From the looks of it, I'm not sure that she is capable of intelligent thought.
"Rena, you have been looking in the mirror too long again. The only rat I see around here is you. I mean that literally and figuratively. I've already told you but I will tell you again—FOR THE LAST TIME... I am not keeping Shawn away from you. He is a grown man and can make up his own mind." I told her trying to sound bored by the whole thing. "And from what I can see, he's not interested in what you like to pass around."
"Humph! I've never! You are just jealous! You know that he's going to drop you like a piece of trash as soon as he gets tired of you!" Rena says stomping her foot like a two year old.
"Rena, what goes on between Shawn and I is our business. I don't have time for this conversation. Why don't you and your little friend run off and play." I say turning back to the book in my hands. As I look back down to my book, I see Rena and Jackie stomp off in a huff. Just then I hear Kevin say, "What was that about?" I look up and see Kevin and Shawn walking up to me.
"The same old thing. She's jonesing for a piece of Shawn, and he's not interested so she is taking it out on me." I explain as I stand up. Shawn walks up hearing my conversation with Kevin.
"Jonesing for a piece of me? I never heard it put that way." Shawn said laughing.
"Well, how else do you want me to put it? Oh, and Jackie Gayda was trailing along behind her. What is she Rena's mini me? I don't think she needs too many slut lessons from what I've seen." I say shaking my head. "What are you guys up to?"
"We were going to run the ropes and go though a few moves. Vince's new script has us teaming together for the storyline." Kev explained as he and Shawn moved to get into the ring. He and Shawn proceed to run the ropes and go through various arm drags and suplexes for the next few minutes. I stood close to the ring watching them. I was in awe of the sheer power and grace of their movements.
When they stopped to catch their breaths, Shawn looked down at me "Hey babe, why don't you hop up here for a minute." I climbed up on the ring and climbed in. I could not believe what an overwhelming feeling it was to stand there and look out at all of the seats in the arena, even if they were empty. I could only imagine what the wrestlers felt during a show when the arena was full.
We had been standing there talking for a few minutes when a stage hand approached the ring and said, "Kevin, Shawn, Vince would like to see you in his office right away. He said that you had to come too Victoria." The stagehand then walked away. Kevin, Shawn and I just looked at each other and headed to Vince's makeshift office.
When Shawn walked into the room I was speechless. I had lost the ability to move, speak or hear. It was fantasy come to life standing right before me. After a couple of minutes I was able to clear the fog in my head and I realized that Shawn was slowly moving toward me with a predatory look in his eyes.
