Kane set Robin down softly on the bed.

"Stay put…" He wagged a finger in her face. Robin kissed it and curled her legs under her waiting patiently.

Kane sighed happily and pulled off his mask, tossing it on the table before disappearing into the bathroom.

"What am I waiting for?" She called as he rummaged around the bathroom. He didn't answer, but she heard water running and glass clinking. Robin sighed, holding her ribs, and settled back on her elbow.

Kane emerged a moment later grinning as he pushed his curls out of his face. He leaned down, kissing her gently as he pulled off her shirt.

"What are we going to do with all this tape?" Kane asked smiling. He kissed her softly again.

"Do I need to take it off?" She asked already picking at one end. Kane moved her hand and started to pull it loose. Robin giggled as the adhesive gave way.

"Stand up for me baby." He whispered in her ear, taking her arm to steady her.

Slowly, he undid the button on her jeans and slid them off. Robin sighed and leaned into him as he lifted her up and carried her off to the bathroom.

The water felt so good on her sore muscles. Robin purred and slid down into the thick, sweet smelling bubbles. Kane cupped his hands and let water fall over her hair. Robin smiled and ran a wet hand down his face.

"Aw, now I'm all wet." Kane chuckled splashing her.

"So what's all this for?" Robin asked as he began washing her hair.

"You needed it. Rough day at the office, right?" Robin gave a throaty laugh then nodded.

"Rinse…" Kane directed, holding his foamy hands out of her way. Obediently, she slid down and dunked herself under the water.

"What are we going to do about Steve Austin?" Robin asked emerging from the flood of bubbles.

"I don't know…" Kane said looking away, waiting for her input first. Robin sighed deeply as Kane massaged conditioner through her long hair.

"I don't like it…" She finally admitted.

"Do you have a better idea?"

"Let him attack me…" She snorted. "…I'll kick his redneck ass." Kane rolled his eyes.

"Listen, Steve seems to have this all worked out." Robin looked at him skeptically. "McMahon brought you in to get close to me. Right?" Robin nodded. "…And you did that. Right?" Robin didn't like the direction of the conversation. "Now Vince wants us both gone…"

"No, he wants YOU gone." She snapped, irritated. Kane closed his eyes and bit back a nasty remark.

"And what do you think will happen when I'm gone?"

"He won't get rid of me…" She mumbled crossing her arms across her chest.

"Give me one good reason why not." He leaned close trying to keep a handle on his anger. "He brought you in to get me out. That's the only reason." He regretted it the moment he said it.

"What are you saying?" Robin spat gritting her teeth. Kane tried to speak. "I don't belong in this business? Is that what you're saying?"

"No…I never…"

"You didn't have to." She said standing up, sliding as she stepped out of the tub and past him.

Kane growled and took off after her.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kane asked as he watcher her struggling to get into her jeans.

"Why do you care?" She said evilly without turning. "Remember, I'm only here as your sex slave." She mumbled as she threw on a tank top and headed for the door.

"Don't go…" He whispered blocking the door.

"Why should I stay?" She asked flatly.

"I love you." He grabbed for her hand as she pulled away.

"I need to go." She said, her eyes misting over. Kane walked slowly to her and hugged her tight.

Suddenly, she kissed him hard, startling him. Kane recovered and kissed her back. Her hand searched his body near desperately. Kane shuddered at her touch and fought the thoughts that swirled around his head. What if his brother was right? She did get awfully offended at the comment about her hiring. Kane shook his head to banish the thoughts. It wasn't working. The terrible thoughts were taking over the situation.

He pulled away, hoping her face would banish them. God, he loved her eyes, but now, they were mocking him.

"Robin…" He pushed her gently back. "I…I can't…not right now." She smiled playfully and went for his belt. "Baby…No…Really. Not right now."

"Why not?"

"I just can't."

"Is that why you want to go along with Austin's plan?" Her eyes turned cruel.

"What are you talking about?" He was thoroughly confused.

"You don't care about me…" She spat.

"Did you hit your head in the ring? Where are you getting this?" Then it hit him. Her part was played. She didn't love him. How could she act like this if she did?
Kane turned away from her. He didn't say a word.

"Please let her turn to me…" He thought. There was a click, and then the door slammed.

Kane's shoulders slumped as the all-pervading feeling of loneliness settled over him. He sat down numbly on the bed.

"She left…" He said to the emptiness. "She…left me…" Reality crashed down around him and he couldn't help but cry.
