Warning! Smut factor… If you're squeamish, I'm sorry. You're missing good stuff. heh
Kane walked past his dressing room and kept on walking. He didn't know where he was going but he had to think. As much as he hated to admit it, what Sara said had made sense.
He had a knot in the pit of his stomach and every time he thought about Robin it got tighter. How could she be like the rest of them? This time he had been so sure…
Kane stopped and looked around, the parking lot? He didn't remember leaving the arena. He started to turn, and then stopped. What did he have to go back for, a woman that was using him? Another one?
He took a deep breath, trying desperately to calm himself. It wasn't working. His knuckles hurt; his fists were balled so tight. Gritting his teeth, he growled and punched a nearby lamppost.
Why her? Why didn't he see this coming? Why did he let her in at all? Kane didn't know. All he knew at this point was he loved her and she was going to hurt him.
The big man sighed and headed back toward the building. There weren't many cars left, not even his brother's bike. He hadn't seen Lita's jeep this trip. Maybe she'd flown?
He weaved his way through the stragglers' cars and spotted his truck. Why was the tailgate down? He wondered at it dimly, more concerned with his faltering emotions than what was going on around him.
"Kane?" A voice intruded into his thoughts. "Baby, did I do something wrong?" His head snapped up at the sound. Robin's voice quavered badly as she spoke, sliding down off the hood of his truck.
"What?" He asked flatly.
"I…I thought you left… You weren't in your locker room and nobody knew where you were…" Robin sobbed and hugged him. Kane stood stock-still, afraid to hold her back.
"I just had to walk. I…do that sometimes." He said trying desperately to put what was happening together with what he'd been told.
"You missed Lita's match." Robin said, groping for something to break the silence. "She's the champion again." Robin stared at the ground near his feet.
"Wow, so when do you challenger her?" Kane teased, smiling in spite of himself.
"Yeah, I've got to get a damned match first." Robin chuckled, wiping her puffy red eyes on the sleeve of her sweat jacket. "Kane I…I thought you changed your mind about me…" She whispered, tears spilling down her cheeks again. Kane melted at her sadness.
"Baby no. I just had some things on my mind. I wasn't leaving you. I love you." This time he hugged her in earnest. How could Mark and Sara think she was like the others? They were wrong, so wrong. "C'mon love, let's go back to the room. Tomorrow we've got to head to Atlanta and I want to leave early enough for us to relax before the show." He lifted her face to his. "Okay?" Robin couldn't help but smile. He kissed her softly. "Let's get out of here."
Taking her hand, he reached into his pocket and clicked the button to unlock the doors.
"After you." He bowed as he opened her door. She climbed in and he shut it. Kane slammed the tailgate before climbing in himself and steering them out onto the road, toward the hotel.
Kane was quieter than she was used to in the truck but she didn't say anything about it. Instead, she curled up against his side as the lights flew past, comfortable and warm as his chest rose and fell with his breathing.
"I love you baby." Robin whispered. He didn't say anything but squeezed her tighter to him.
What could be bothering him? The silence was driving her nuts. Also, trying to figure out what it could be was a waste of time as well. This big man had had a very rough existence; it could be any one of those old skeletons falling out of the closet. She would just have to wait until he decided he wanted to talk about them. On the other hand, what if it were something else? Robin sighed and sat up, taking in the passing palm trees.
"You alright?" He asked finally glancing over at her briefly.
"Yeah, I guess. Something just doesn't feel right." She replied as he turned into the hotel parking lot.
"Is this about my walking off?" He asked sounding genuinely concerned. "Next time, I'll leave a note. I promise." The big man looked over and grinned through his mask.
"Kane, if you were having second thoughts about me…about us, you could tell me you know." Robin said seriously then stepped down and out of the truck. Kane frowned and hurriedly jumped out himself. Running over to her he scooped her up by the legs and tossed her over his shoulder.
"When I'm done with you, I'll let you know. However, I don't see that happening any time soon." Robin screamed and laughed as he carried her through the hotel lobby and onto the elevator like a sack of potatoes.
"Oh no… Put me down! I've still got a bump from the last time you did this!" She tried to bite him but couldn't reach.
"Bump? I've been running around all day with a concussion the size of Texas and you're whining about a bump? Suck it up, kid!" He laughed.
The elevator doors opened and they stepped out onto their floor.
"Jesus son, there are better ways to get a woman to come home with you…" Bradshaw said as they came around the corner.
"Yeah, but I like it when they fight." Kane teased, swatting her on the back of the thigh.
"Oh, you are SO going to pay for that…" Robin grumbled from behind them. "Who are you talking to anyway?" Kane flipped her over and set her on her feet.
"Robin, this is my good friend Bradshaw." Kane said patting the big Texan on the shoulder.
"So this is the pretty new girl I've been hearing so much about." He smiled and put out a hand to shake. "Hey, drinks and cards in my room if you all are interested, it's er…" He pulled his room key out to look at it. "…Room 751." He smiled holding the key up for them to see.
"Not tonight my friend, I've got a hell of a headache. It's time for Vicodin and some sleep." Kane said pulling back the corner of his mask to show off his bandage. Bradshaw whistled.
"It's a long story. Matt Hardy seemed to think I was stealing his woman." The Texan rolled his eyes.
"I think I'm the only one he hasn't accused of that." Bradshaw laughed. "However, I've never seen him do that before." He finished poking at Kane's bandage. The masked man flinched violently and leaned back onto the wall.
"Well, I'm going to bed." Robin said taking Kane's big arm. "…And I'm taking this one with me." She jerked him but he didn't budge. "Maybe in Atlanta we could take a rain check on that beer?"
"Absolutely darlin'." Bradshaw smiled broadly and reached out a hand to Kane, pulling him off the wall for Robin. "You can play cards right?"
"Oh yeah…" She said sounding more than confident. "…And if you want a real challenge, I'll get you out for a game or two of Nine-ball." Robin grinned slyly. Bradshaw chuckled and shook his head.
"That's one hell of a woman you've got there big guy, might want to keep her around for a while."
"I know…" Kane said throwing an arm around her shoulder.
"Lucky, lucky man…" Bradshaw said as he continued down the hall.
"Come on big man, let's get you into bed." Robin said, squeezing him around his ribs as they walked to their room.
Kane flopped onto the bed as soon as the door closed behind them.
"Can't…sleep…feel dirty…must take…shower…" Kane whined as he flopped around like a dying fish.
"So get up." Robin said climbing onto the bed with him and straddling his hips.
"Maybe I like this better…" He purred, pulling off his mask and tossing it into a generic hotel chair.
Robin leaned forward, crossing her arms over his chest, and set her head down.
"Your poor head…" She said frowning at the reddened bandage on his temple.
"That can probably come off now." He said resting his arms across her back. Robin reached up and gingerly tugged at the tape. It came off easily.
"Wow, that doesn't look bad at all." She said balling up the gauze and setting it aside. "It sure bled a lot for such a small cut though." Kane flexed his forehead, testing for pain then reached up finding a large knot.
"I should kill Matt Hardy just for ruining my good looks." Kane laughed hysterically at his own bad joke.
"No, I'll do that." She said patting his shoulder and getting off the bed.
"Hey! Come back here, I wasn't done with you." He whined. Robin stuck her tongue out at him and retreated into the bathroom.
"Hold your horses…" She teased. "I'll be right back."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" He sighed and hopped off the bed grabbing his bag and fishing for the pain meds the doctor had given him. "Take one every four hours or as needed." Kane read off the little brown bottle and snorted at the stupidity of the statement. "As needed… I need…" He popped the childproof cap with some difficulty and shook the bottle. "…Three…" He smiled and tossed them into his mouth, swallowing them dry. As he tossed the bottle back into his bag, Robin walked over to him with a warm, wet rag.
"Come here." She said sweetly as she sat down on the bed. Kane followed and pushed himself up against the headboard.
"Mmmm…. That's nice." He sighed as she dabbed away the dried blood on his face. Robin kissed his big shoulder as she worked.
"You took some pain stuff?" She asked. He nodded. "How many?" Kane held up three fingers as he closed his eyes, settling in to being taken care of. "Three? You took three, extra strength Vicodin?" She blurted surprised.
"What? I'm a big guy." He giggled.
"Three of those would shut down my liver." She wiped at a smear of blood near his jaw line.
"Yeah well, I'm a big boy, I'll survive." He closed his eyes again and let her take care of him. It had been so long since anyone wanted to do that. The doctors and nurses had when he had been burned but that was their job. Stacy never bothered, that was for sure.
That thought irritated him. He had done everything for her. He cooked her dinners and bought her flowers; he rubbed her sore muscles and took time to run her bubble baths when she was too tired. Did she ever ask him if he was okay? No, he couldn't ever remember that.
Again, his thoughts turned to the conversation with Sara. She was wrong about Robin. Kane knew she was worrying over nothing. If only Mark and Sara could see her now. They'd understand.
"You're going to have to get in the shower to get the rest out of your hair." Robin said setting the washcloth on the bedside table.
"Thanks baby." He grinned and pulled her to him loving the feel of her body pressed against him.
"I take it the pain meds are working?" She asked playfully as she let her hand trial down his ribcage to rest on his hip. "You've still got blood on your shirt."
"Good thing it's black huh?" He teased then let her go pulling the t-shirt of and throwing it aside. "Better?"
"Very nice." Robin said crawling over him and sitting in his lap. With her hands on his chest, she stretched backward until her head touched his knees. Kane's breath caught in his throat as he watched her. "God that felt good." She said coming back up and laying her head on his shoulder.
"It looked good from here too." He was smiling. Without another word, he pulled her face to his, kissing her passionately. Robin moaned and let her body mold itself to his.
Suddenly, he pulled up on her shirt. Robin lifted her arms for him and quickly reached back, unhooking her bra. Kane let his hands follow the curves of her breasts down to her hips again. He loved her hips. Watching her walk was enough to send him into spasms.
Robin leaned over pressing her naked skin to him and began kissing roughly up his shoulder while her hand found its way into his hair. Kane growled as her kisses flashed through him. Quickly, he lifted her off of him and threw her down making quick work of the buttons on her jeans. He pulled them off and dropped down onto her, kissing her more forcefully, needing to feel more of her against him.
Robin dug her nails into his back and purred. She wanted him so badly she couldn't help herself. Reaching down, she worked her hand past his black jeans and found him ready.
Kane moaned and took a shuddering breath at the feel of her hot little hand. He picked her up, kissing between her breasts, reveling in the feel of the silken skin there, loving the way it felt on his face.
"Come on baby…" Robin pleaded breathlessly as she tugged off his jeans and leaned back into the pillows, pulling him down with her.
Kane positioned himself between her legs and drove himself into her. He needed her; needed to feel her, he was desperate. Robin moaned loudly and wrapped her muscular legs around his waist, arching her back and meeting his powerful thrusts with her own.
"Oh God Robin I…" He panted as he pushed harder into her every motion.
Her moans turned to screams as she clawed at his back and shoulders, pulling herself off the bed to meet him. Robin gritted her teeth and snarled, letting the feel of him filling her wash over her entire body.
Wrapping his arm around her waist he sat back on his knees letting her straddle him again. He shook with every thrust, wanting nothing more than more of her. He growled savagely and pushed up deeper into her, pulling her down by the hips.
Robin screamed breathless and convulsed wrapping her harms around his neck, rocking her hips. Never had she felt like this. Never had she had the need of another person and now that she did, she wasn't letting go.
"Baby…I…love…you…" He panted feeling himself getting close to the edge.
"Just like that…" She moaned and bit down hard into his shoulder shaking violently on top of him. She panted raggedly as the climax washed over her in waves.
Kane could hold out no longer, the pain in his shoulder pushing him over the edge. He growled inhumanly as his body went rigid with the release.
Gasping for breath and sweating, they collapsed down onto the bed. He wrapped her up tight in his arms as she snuggled up onto his shoulder. Kane moved a soggy strand of black and red hair out of her face and tenderly kissed her forehead.
"You are so beautiful, you know that?" He said, truly in awe.
"I love you Kane. I don't know how it happened so quickly but I do." Her voice shook. Kane kissed her again. His eyelids were so heavy; it was all he could do to tell her he loved her back.
Robin lay safe in his arms feeling his even breathing.
"Thank you for this man. I don't know what I did to deserve him but thank you." She whispered, glancing up toward the ceiling, telling anyone who was listening. Then, finally, she drifted off to sleep.
