The Squared Circle
Chapter 13
A Velvet Touch
Monday, July 15, 2013 – 7:30 am – Florida Fitness Concepts – Orlando, Florida
Taryn had many things swirling through her head as she cooled down from her workout. However, two things in particular made Taryn's gray matter twitch. It had nearly been a month since Ashley was announced as the newest member of The Diamond Exchange, her initiation stunning all of the women in the group who believed that Ashley would need to be drunkenly tricked into joining the group, certainly not initiated by her best friend, Lisa Marie. After congratulating Ashley, Taryn had gingerly asked several times to have some fun with Ashley, only to be told that the time wasn't quite right. The gorgeous blonde was beginning to wonder if Ashley still had interest in her. She had heard through the grapevine that besides Lisa, Ashley had hooked up with Brooke twice. Two hookups for Brooke and none for her, for a woman with which she clearly shared a kiss with a spark with. Was it possible that Taryn was feeling a twinge of jealousy?
And then there was Jamie. TNA's Velvet Sky was still Moby Dick to Taryn's Ahab. Taryn simply could not get a read on Jamie to determine if and when is the right time to make her intentions known. Every time that she felt like the moment was at hand, Jamie's boyfriend would call. Angel would call. Taryn's mother would text her. Taryn was feeling snakebitten and began to feel like a sexual dalliance with Jamie just wasn't in the cards.
Taryn dug her cellphone out of her bag to check for any messages and missed calls. Finding that she had none, she tossed it back into her bag, slung the bag over her shoulder and headed for the exit. She reached the outside and glanced up into the clear, sunny sky when a familiar voice brought her attention back to Earth.
"Hey bombshell!" Taryn looked to her right and saw Ashley three steps away from her.
Taryn flashed a small smile. "What's up, Raynemaker?"
"Why didn't you call me? I would've come to work out with you." Ashley asked.
"I… just… had to clear my head. Lots of things going on in here." Taryn said.
"Be careful. You'll give blondes a good name." Ashley joked. Taryn blinked twice but didn't crack a smile.
"I'm not in the mood for jokes today." Taryn sternly declared.
Ashley furrowed her brow. "Tar, what's wrong?"
Taryn shook her head. "Don't even worry about it."
"Are… are you salty because I haven't hooked up with you yet?" Ashley asked.
"Not here. Not now." Taryn said.
"You have, like, all this experience with hooking up with chicks and I've hooked up three times." Ashley started. "I cannot and will not disappoint you."
"I said I wasn't going to do this here…" Taryn mumbled. "Fine…" Taryn grabbed Ashley by the arm and pulled her off to the side and away from the main entrance. "A, you could not possibly disappoint me. You are funny and sweet and sensitive and have that 'fuck me' body and 'fuck me' face."
"'Fuck me' face?" Ashley muttered.
"Shut up. I'm on a roll here." Taryn countered. "B, Lisa told me that you have the best mouth she's had since Christy…"
"She did?"
"And C, you hooked up with Brooke twice since your initiation. Now I'm not gonna ask you why, because, well, I know why. But, why a second time?"
"That… was not planned." Ashley started. "We went to a nice platonic lunch and all of a sudden she just started playing footsie with my va-jay-jay underneath the table. It was on like Donkey Kong from there. Trust me, I am not dissing you. I just want to feel as confident as I can when we finally do. I hope you understand."
Taryn took a deep breath and huffed. "Not really, but I respect you and your feelings."
"I'm sorry I made you feel unwanted." Ashley offered.
"Stop. We're not in a monogamous… anything. It's all good."
"Good." Ashley said with a chuckle. "Besides, you need to clear your decks for Jamie. She was talking about you last night. Saying she needed to spend more time with you and how y'all were getting closer."
"Is that right?" Taryn inquired with a lilt in her voice. "Is the iron hot enough to strike?"
"As hot as it's ever been. And you know the clock is ticking." Ashley warned. "It's not a question of if, but when will Angel come back to the company." Ashley said of Velvet's tag team partner and best friend, Lauren "Angelina Love" Williams. "Once Angel comes back, they will be glued to each other's hips."
"That's a good point." Taryn said as she heard her phone chirp inside her bag. She reached in and pulled it out. After looking at the text for a second, she fired off a response. "Oh, by the way, you're gonna get a text in a second."
"From who?"
"Christy. She's really horny and asked me to play. I told her that I was busy but maybe the she should try the newbie."
"You didn't type all that."
"You're right." Taryn said as Ashley's phone sounded. "I said 'Busy. Ash is game.'"
"Thank you."
"You said you wanted some more confidence. I want you nice and confident for me. And from what I've heard, Christy will confident the hell out of you."
"Well then let me get on that." Ashley said with a smile. "Lunch this week?"
"Can I play with your va-jay-jay under the table?"
"Funny." Ashley quipped. "I was gonna ask you the same thing."
"Get away from me before I kiss you."
Ashley laughed and gave her a kiss on the cheek before retreating. "In due time, my blonde goddess! In due time!" Ashley threw her hand up to wave as she walked toward the front door of the gym.
Taryn smiled to herself and shook her head. "That girl is trouble… the good kind."
Monday, July 15, 2013 – 8:45 pm – Lisa's apartment – Orlando, Florida
Every now and then, some of the ladies of the TNA locker room would get together to watch the flagship show of their main competitor, World Wrestling Entertainment. With several of the women being formerly employed by WWE, they still had an interest in how the product was doing and where it was heading. In the backs of everyone's minds, a 'just in case' scenario loomed. Rumors swirled on the Internet since 2010 about the impending demise of TNA. They had heard all of the excuses – it was too much like a regional promotion, they didn't pay enough, they were mismanaged. All of the ladies were careful not to burn bridges when they left, in case that inevitable day came when they had to seriously consider going back. Even Mickie, who was released from her WWE contract following a dispute with management over her pursuing a music career outside of the purview of WWE, made sure that she didn't completely close the door on a return.
"Is there any chance that we can watch RAW without everybody lusting after somebody?" Lisa asked.
"You've… seen John Cena with his shirt off, right?" Brooke asked.
"Mick's touched John Cena with his shirt off." Gail teased, recalling Mickie's brief but intense relationship with WWE's standard-bearer.
"Oh, so that's how it's gonna go down, Gail Chong?" Mickie shot back.
"Goddamnit, Mick! You had to remind me!" Gail spat.
"What? I've got to hear this." Brooke said.
Mickie started laughing. Gail continued. "One time, Mick and I are walking backstage in Shreveport and Stone Cold walks past us and he blurts out…"
Mickie finished the story. "MICKIE JAMES AND GAIL CHONG! HOW THE HELL ARE YA?!" The ladies started laughing. Mickie was nearly in tears. "He was dead serious! He called her…" Mickie began laughing harder. "Gail Chong!"
"I think he was drunk." Gail deadpanned.
"Knowing him, he was probably ribbing you." Lisa added.
"He was not ribbing me! He was drunk and he forgot my name." Gail then looked over at Mickie who was still laughing. "It's not that fuckin' funny! Lesbo stalker!" Gail sometimes teased Mickie about her debut in WWE as a psychotic fan that had a lesbian crush on Trish Stratus.
"We all did some crazy shit back then." Mickie recalled.
"Like Torrie and Dawn Marie in the hotel room!" Brooke said.
"Anything with Val Venis or The Godfather." Lisa said.
"Or what about some of the backstage stuff that went on?!" Ashley said. "Triple H teaching Trish how to wrestle and getting caught by Stephanie…" The girls laughed at that one. "The Rock and Trish kissing… Oh God! Melina grinding on Batista and making out with him!" Gail and Lisa both winced, knowing the history between Mickie and Melina and not knowing if it were still a sore spot for Mickie.
"That's one that I'd rather forget." Mickie said quietly. "Ash, I know that you don't know. Nobody but Gail and Lisa knows. But Melina is a sore spot for me. We… dated for a while and… I thought… she was the one. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer but…"
"Mick, I'm sorry. I never would have…"
"I know Ash. It's okay." Mickie took a deep breath. "We broke up a little more than a year ago."
Ashley and Brooke quickly did the math in their heads. "But…" Brooke started.
"Yep. I was seeing Nick and Melina." Mickie said of her boyfriend, Nick "Magnus" Aldis.
"Well anyway…" Mickie began to deflect attention from her. "I'm just glad it wasn't me. I couldn't have been up on Batista like that."
Lisa, sensing that Mickie was ready to change subjects, gave her a hand. "Probably had a little dick anyway." The women exploded in laughter. Mickie quickly caught Lisa's eye and mouthed 'thank you' to which Lisa gave a faint nod of recognition.
Seconds later, Lisa's cellphone buzzed on the coffee table. She picked it up and saw the text.
"Awww! Ivory! I love her!" Lisa cooed about former WWE Diva Lisa Moretti, known to the world as Ivory. She quickly tapped out a response.
"What did she say?" Mickie asked.
"She said that she was watching RAW, thought about me and thought she'd check up on me. She is so sweet." Lisa said. "God, I miss the E sometimes. Girls, I'm seriously considering getting out of this place."
Ashley's head whipped around. "You mean, leave TNA?!"
"Ash, I'm getting tired of the bullshit. They're running this place into the ground. We all know it. It's the big elephant in the room whenever we have a talent meeting. I mean, I like Dixie as a person but she just doesn't know how to run a wrestling company."
"The E did have those fat ass paychecks." Gail chimed in.
"But it's not even about that…" Lisa started, then stopped herself. "Whatever. Jess and I put on a good match last night. I'm proud of us." Lisa said of her match against ODB on the previous night's special, TNA Xplosion.
"You're not leaving us so don't even think about it. We'll loan you to Triple A in Mexico, but that's it." Brooke said.
"Anyway, we are supposed to be here lusting. And speaking of which, good God, AJ and Kaitlyn." Taryn lustily groaned as she watched WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee and her former on-screen BFF. "If there is a God in heaven, those two are fucking each other."
"There's one way to find out." Mickie said. Mickie picked up her cellphone and dialed.
"Who are you calling?" Ashley asked.
"Layla. I'm going right to the source."
"Mick? You know we're in the middle of RAW."
"I know, Lay. Me and the girls are watching. We just have one question and I'll leave you alone. Are AJ and Kaitlyn fucking?"
"Each other?! From your lips to God's ears! They do look pretty damned tasty together."
"You need to work on that. AJ. Kaitlyn. Circle. Rock and roll."
"I'll do that. And since I love you, I'll let you in on a soon-to-be Circle couple." Layla then began to sing. "You can look, but you can't touch…"
"You got Nikki! Good girl!"
"Not exactly. She's not one of us. It's more like… Brie got Nikki."
"Wait. What do you mean Brie got Nikki?" Mickie asked. Her question got the attention of the other women in the room. It then clicked. "Do you mean?!... Brie and Nikki?!..."
"They haven't consummated yet. But they are head over heels for each other."
"My God, I think I just came in my jeans." Mickie said. "Never in a million years…"
"I know. Please don't tell anybody… Hell, you're gonna tell the girls but swear them to secrecy."
"I promise. Now go. I'm sure somebody has been watching how long you've been on the phone."
"To hell with them. I don't even wrestle tonight. I'll call you after the show."
"I'll be waiting. Bye Lay." Mickie hung up the phone and began chuckling incredulously.
"Did I hear what I thought I just heard?" Lisa asked ominously. "Nikki Bella and Brie Bella are fucking each other?!"
"Not yet. But they want to." Mickie confirmed.
"To quote The People's Champ, 'Sweet cream on an ice cream sam'mich!' What in the blue hell happened up there?! I thought The Circle was dead!" Gail said.
"Layla has been working it up there." Mickie explained. "Brie had been on the shelf for a while and she got her active again. And she got The Circle kickstarted in NXT."
"NXT?" Lisa asked. "There are some young tender females down there. Who did she get?"
"Sasha Banks is the NXT leader." Mickie said.
Lisa whistled. "Damn!" Gail said. "Talk about swinging for the fences!"
"It gets better." Mickie said. "Paige is in too."
"The pasty chick?" Brooke asked. "She's hot as hell!"
"Yeah, she is." Lisa said. "I would love to smack her ass and make it beet red."
"You know…" Mickie started. "NXT is based in Orlando."
"That's right!" Ashley said. "Over at Full Sail University!"
"You know we can't show up there." Gail said. Just then there was a knock on the door. Lisa hopped up to answer it. All the ladies turned their heads to see Christy walk in.
"What's up Divas?! Oops! I mean Knockouts." Christy greeted the group.
"We're figuring out how we can hook up with the NXT Divas." Ashley said.
"Why?" Christy asked as she sat down.
"Because they just started up an NXT version of The Inner Circle." Mickie said.
"Shut the front door!" Christy exclaimed. "Sweet! Who's in charge?! Let's call her up!"
"Sasha Banks. But I don't have her number." Mickie said.
"Call Layla back." Gail said.
Mickie thought for a second. "Well, she did say she wasn't wrestling tonight." Just before Mickie picked up her cellphone, there was another knock at the door.
"I wasn't expecting anybody else." Lisa said. "Girls?" The women shook their heads and mumbled. Lisa opened the door to a beautiful yet unexpected sight. "Jamie! I thought you and Chris had plans." Lisa waved her in. A slight smile crept over Taryn's lips. Ashley shot a quick glance at her then back at Jamie.
"The best laid plans of yada-yada-yada." Jamie said. "Girls, how they hangin'?"
"Umm, excuse me but these do not hang, thank you very much. They are at full attention." Taryn playfully shot back.
"Yeah. Even the old broad over here is pretty perky." Gail said, teasing Lisa. Everyone started laughing.
"Zip it, Chong!" Lisa retaliated, causing everyone except Jamie to laugh."
"Chong?" Jamie asked."
"One time…" Mickie started. Gail cut her off.
"Stone Cold Steve Austin was drunk and called me Gail Chong and everybody thinks it's the funniest fuckin' thing they've ever heard." Gail spat.
Jamie shook her head while biting her lip. She then stopped shaking her head. "That is pretty funny." She said with a chuckle, setting off another round of laughter.
"Man, you hoes are evil!" Gail scoffed as everyone continued to laugh.
"Okay. Where am I sitting? Where's my blanket? Blanket!" Jamie said. "There's my blanket. Scoot over, Blanket." Jamie said to Taryn. Taryn complied and slid over so Jamie could sit at the end of the couch. Taryn then leaned over and rested her head on Jamie's chest.
"Is there something you two want to tell us?" Ashley joked to Lisa's surprise.
Jamie chuckled. "Taryn is my blanket. I always get cold when we watch TV and she just kind of drapes herself over me and a glom off of her body heat."
"And Jamie feels like a pillow so it's a win-win." Taryn offered.
"Okay, well, Pillow and Blanket, if you're comfortable, we've got some more RAW to watch." Mickie said.
As Taryn sat with her head on Jamie's chest, there was a feeling stirring inside her that tonight maybe the night to just lay her cards on the table with Jamie. She was growing weary of the unknown in the back of her mind and was eager to know how Jamie felt, one way or the other.
"Mick, don't you have a phone call to make?" Brooke asked.
Lisa looked at Brooke and motioned to Jamie with her eyes as a non-verbal signal that Jamie was not privy to that info. Brooke took the hint and didn't follow up when Mickie didn't respond.
"Got a hot date or something, Mick?" Jamie asked.
"No. It'll keep until tomorrow." Mickie replied as the ladies settled in to watch more RAW.
Two hours later, Monday Night Raw signed off and the women began to stretch with a couple of them yawning. Gail was the first one to stand up.
"Well girls, this has been real but I need to go home and get some sleep." Gail said. "Tess, are you working out with me in the morning?"
"Yeah." Brooke yawned. "What time?"
"Seven."
"Cool." Brooke said. "Ash, you in?"
"No. Jesse and I are going to spend the day together. Rain check."
"I'd ask you Taryn but you've got to drive back to Mars tonight." Brooke joked. "When are you gonna move to Orlando anyway?"
"I don't know. Soon maybe…"
Jamie cut Taryn off. "You can crash with me tonight. Chris went out of town so I'm staying at my place."
"Thanks Vel Vel. Lisa, can I leave my car here? I'll ride with her." Taryn asked.
"Yeah sure." Lisa said. "I'll give you an overnight guest tag to hang. They tow starting at midnight."
Christy hugged her goodbyes to everyone as Mickie followed her out. Lisa waved everyone goodbye as they filed out of the apartment.
Tuesday, July 16, 2013 – 12:04 am – Jamie's apartment – Orlando, Florida
After the ten minute ride to Jamie's apartment, Taryn and Jamie settled down for the night. As was their custom, they sat in the living room and chatted. As they chatted, Jamie sensed something a little different in Taryn's mood. She seemed to be pensive and preoccupied even though she was verbally engaged in the conversation. After a few minutes of this, Jamie decided to call her friend on it.
"TT, what's up with you? Is something bothering you? You seem a little out of it."
Taryn cocked her head to the side and let out a chuckle. "Not… bothering me, but… something has been on my mind… since we met. Actually, since before we met."
"I told you, these are implants. Very good ones. Very expensive ones. But yeah."
Taryn let out a small chuckle. "No. Not that. But thanks for the intel. No. I just…"
"TT, you can tell me anything."
Taryn dropped her head and then lifted it. "I know. You're a great friend like that. But, it would be best if I show you what's… on my mind." Taryn's last three words trailed off.
"Okay. I can take i…" Jamie's last word was cut off by Taryn pressing her lips to Jamie's. Jamie audibly gulped and instinctively leaned back in the moment after contact. Taryn leaned forward slightly, matching Jamie. Two seconds later, Jamie was able to lean far enough back to break contact. "Whoa! Hold on, T!" Taryn froze for a second then sat straight up. Jamie brought her left hand up to the corner of her mouth and gently brushed it as an incredulous look became etched on her face.
"I was trying to tell you…"
"I… uhh… think I know… what you're trying to tell me." Jamie said, still in shock over what had just happened.
"I've been attracted to you since before I got here and when I first got here it got… even worse, I mean, you're even hotter in person than on TV." Taryn began. "But then we became friends and you've been so cool and I kind of let the attraction thing fade but… my mind has been working overtime lately and… I just had to let you know because you've been too good a friend for me to keep that secret. I… hope you understand? I'm not trying to get with you like that, I mean, you're in a relationship and all. I just thought…"
"TT." Jamie stopped her. "Wow. Uhh… I am… flattered. I mean, I am really… really flattered that you dig me like that. I mean as hot as you are you could have picked anybody and you picked me… I am flattered." Taryn's mouth turned up at the corners in a small, toothless smile. "I'm… just… not into girls… like that. I'm sorry. I love women. I love hanging out with women and I admire their beauty and strength and I've played the 'if I were gay' game before. But I am just not sexually attracted to women." Taryn tightened her lips and nodded knowingly. "I am so sorry. I hope… this doesn't ruin our friendship for you, I mean, it doesn't for me. You have been a great friend and hangout chick and I don't want that to stop." Jamie then took Taryn by both hands.
"Part of me knew that this was the conversation we would have. But I held out hope." Taryn said. "I don't want to lose you as a friend either. That's why I didn't say anything."
"I'm glad you did though." Jamie said. "You didn't think I'm homophobic, did you? Not with all the Beautiful People, lesbian-teasing stuff we did."
"No. I just… didn't want things to be awkward if you said no."
"No awkwardness. You are still my girl." Jamie said with a smile. "Just not my GIRL girl." Taryn laughed. "Besides, I kind of thought… never mind."
Taryn's awkwardness over being rebuffed had melted away and she began to lapse back into BFF mode. "Never mind what? What did you think?!"
"I… kind of thought… that you and Ashley had a thing going on?"
Taryn's eyes grew larger. "Me and Ash? Why would you think that?"
"I've noticed a couple of glances exchanged that looked a little… playful and crushy."
"Playful and… crushy." Taryn deadpanned.
"Yeah. I mean, I'm sorry if I'm wrong. I just thought I saw…"
"You did. Ashley and I had a moment a few weeks back. We kissed."
"Okay. Cool."
"You are my friend and I am not supposed to keep secrets from you and there is something else I want to tell you but I need to get permission. It sounds strange I know."
Jamie laughed. "Nothing sounds strange to me anymore."
"Hang on for a second." Taryn pulled out her phone and dialed.
"Taryn? Is everything okay?" Mickie asked.
"Everything is fine. I have a quick question for you. I, uhh, swung for the fence with Jamie and popped out to short…"
"Flew out to the warning track." Jamie corrected in a whisper.
Taryn flashed a big grin as she continued. "And she peeped the Ashley thing with me and…"
"Yes you can tell her about the group. At this point I just don't want the guys or management to find out but I think we can trust the girls. And Jamie is cool." Mickie said. "Are… you okay?"
"Yeah. Her ring name truly suits her. She let me down with a 'Velvet' touch." Taryn's words to Mickie warmed Jamie's heart and made her smile.
"It's a damn shame though. She'd have made a great addition to the group."
"I know. It's our loss." Taryn said. "Well let me let you go. Get some sleep."
"You too. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye."
"So what's the secret?" Jamie asked.
"We have a friends-with-benefits group in the Knockouts locker room."
Jamie paused and allowed the words to sink in. "Wow. I wasn't expecting that." She paused again. "Who's we?"
"Everyone but you and Val." Taryn said, referring to SoCal Val.
"Ooookay. Next you're gonna tell me that the Divas in WWE do it too."
"That's where it came from. Mickie was the leader over there for a while and she started it here." Taryn said. "Are you cool with that?"
"Hey, whatever y'all choose to do in the bedroom is your business."
"And since Mickie knows you're not into that, you won't get approached."
"You didn't have to tell me that but, okay." Jamie said. "I'm sure more questions will pop up but right now I am tired. Can we go to bed now?"
"I thought you'd never ask." Taryn teased.
"You are a perv, aren't you?"
"If my walls could talk…"
"I'm not even going there." Jamie joked. She then opened her arms to embrace Taryn who happily accepted. "Love you girl."
"Love you too." Taryn said. As Jamie broke the embrace, she cupped Taryn's face and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"That's the last one you get. So cherish it." Jamie teased.
"That one's going in my spank bank." Taryn said with her biggest cheesy smile.
"TMI! TMI! Go to bed!" Jamie screeched.
Taryn let out a belly laugh as Jamie got up to go to her bedroom. "Night Vel Vel."
"Night, TT."
Tuesday, July 16, 2013 – 2:06 am – Ashley and Jesse's apartment – Orlando, Florida
"You are such a fuckin' asshole." Ashley growled as she put her sweatpants on.
"I'm sorry babe. It was a last-minute job. I couldn't turn it down." Jesse replied.
"How often do we get to spend an entire day together?!" Ashley asked.
"How often do I get to make double time plus mileage and differential?" Jesse asked rhetorically.
"Well I hope…" Ashley started as she slid her feet into her Crocs. "Your double time…" Ashley grabbed her keys and cellphone. "Plus mileage…" She then grabbed her purse. "And differential keep you warm tonight."
"Where do you think you're going?"
"One of the girls will put me up. 'Cause I'll be damned if I'm gonna stay here with you tonight!"
"Babe…"
"Fuck you and your babe! I'm outta here! Follow me and I will call the cops on your ass!" Ashley declared before slamming the door.
When Ashley reached her car, she sat silently, trying not to physically and mentally explode. After a couple of minutes of calm, she pulled out her cellphone and dialed.
"He-llo?"
"Christy, sorry I woke you up. Jesse and I had a fight and I left his sorry ass in the apartment. Can I stay with you tonight?"
"Sure. I'll fix up the guest room for you."
"No need. I need to blow some steam off tonight."
"Are… you saying…?"
"Lisa told Taryn that I was the best mouth she's had since you. I need to feel yours."
Christy squirmed in her bed. "Damn. I lit Lisa up like a Christmas tree. If your mouth is like that, I need to feel it too."
"I'll be there in 15 minutes."
"I'll be ready in 10." Christy hung up the phone, leaving Ashley to hear the dial tone. Ashley thought about everything that had happened that evening before cranking the car up, throwing it into drive and peeling out of the parking lot, tires squealing on the asphalt.
Tuesday, July 16, 2013 – 2:20 am – Christy's building – Orlando, Florida
Ashley entered the building and made her way up the flight of stairs. She was on a seek-and-destroy mission. She balled her right hand into a fist and rapped her knuckles on the door. Three seconds later, the door opened to reveal a t-shirt clad Christy, red hair down, eyes blazing. Ashley stood just outside of the threshold eyeing the woman candy in front of her. Seconds later, Ashley surged forward, slamming the door, pressing herself into Christy as she pressed her lips to TNA's ring announcer. Christy squirmed in Ashley's grasp as Ashley grabbed her butt with both hands.
"You don't know what to do with that." Christy whispered.
"Wanna bet?" Ashley replied as she began to back Christy into the bedroom, both women shedding clothes as they went. When they reached the edge of the bed, Christy spun around with her back to Ashley. She devilishly looked over her shoulder at her before getting on the bed on all fours. Without warning, Ashley dropped to her knees and began eating Christy's backside as if it were her favorite meal.
"Oh… my God! What the fuck? I thought you were just gonna lick it!" Christy exclaimed before moaning in delight."
"Do unto others…" Ashley said before reattaching her tongue to Christy's ass.
Christy lowered her torso to the bed and began breathing heavily. "You nasty bitch I love it." Christy began rubbing her clit from underneath. While Christy's moaning didn't get louder, it was constant. As she came closer to coming, her tongue got saltier. "Gonna come so hard from you licking my ass. Can't believe Madison Rayne is licking my ass." Ashley stiffened her tongue and began savagely plunging it inside causing Christy to slap the mattress multiple times. Christy screamed into the mattress, "I'M GONNA FUCKIN' COME… SHIT!", as her fingering of her clit intensified. A few seconds later, she lost it. "ASHLEY, FUCK!" Her orgasm shot through her like Civil War cannon fire. Her knees began to buckle as she lowered herself to the bed. Ashley didn't give her a chance to recover as she flipped her onto her back, forced her legs apart and began passionately lapping at her center. "YES, GODDAMNIT!" Christy grabbed Ashley by the back of the head and pulled her as close as possible. Ashley formed a lethal seal around Christy's swollen clit and rapidly flicked her tongue. Christy's eyes stretched wide open as she arched her back and nearly levitated off the bed. Christy's body flopped back down onto the bed as Ashley continued to go for the kill. She soon achieved her kill when Christy was hit with a massive orgasm that caused her to cry out louder than she intended to at two in the morning. Her chest heaved as she labored for breath. She began pawing at Ashley to slide up her body which she did to initiate an intense round of kissing that had both women teetering on the edge of completely losing control.
The next big move of the encounter was made by Christy who flipped Ashley onto her back and began kissing alone her collarbone. She then worked her way down Ashley's chest, taking the nipple into her mouth and sucking with small pulses as she worked the other nipple with her free hand.
"I am so fucking wet." Ashley breathed, Christy slid her hand in between Ashley's legs to discover serious wetness had developed.
"Yeah you are, babygirl." Christy cooed. She then slid two fingers inside Ashley.
"Holy shit!" Ashley exclaimed. Christy chuckled. "That feels so fucking good."
Christy pressed her lips to Ashley's ear. "I should fuck you until you just bust all over my hand."
Ashley's eyes rolled into the back of her head as she snaked her body. "You have the dirtiest mouth for a hot chick."
"You must like it cause you got wetter." Christy teased. "Do you like that?" Christy's words were interrupted by the sound of Ashley's phone ringing. The ringtone indicated that Jesse was calling. "I bet your husband doesn't talk dirty to you, does he? Not like I do." Christy said as she continued to finger Ashley. The diminutive redhead hissed and moaned under Christy's touch. "Now come on you sexy little fucking whore. Make that pussy come all over my hand."
Ashley looked straight into Christy's eyes. "Harder. Kill it. I don't want to breathe." The two women began another round of passionate kissing as the intensity of Christy's fingering increased exponentially. Ashley gasped loudly several times before emitting a long, gutturally intense moan that emanated from her core. Both women were cheek to cheek as Christy digitally pounded Ashley.
"I wanna come so fucking hard, Christy. Make me come all over your fuckin' fingers, your fuckin' bed."
" (I'm gonna) Make you come harder than you ever had in your fuckin' life. Make your pretty ass see stars."
"Do it, bitch. Do it, bitch. Do it. DO IT!"
"Fuck this. I'm gonna make you come and squirt." Christy began curling her fingers, immediately finding Ashley's g-spot and stroking it like there was no tomorrow. Ashley dropped back onto the bed and let out a groan from her belly and then a string of profanities as her body sought a plateau it had never reached before. She clamped her hand over her mouth to keep the ear-splitting screams out of the air as she felt her body reach its breaking point. With a pillow out of reach, she began balling up the comforter to stuff in her mouth.
"Christi… CHRISTINA… AHHHHHHHH!" Ashley began to scream as jets of her ejaculate began to spray from around Christy's fingers. Ashley managed to direct her scream into the comforter but even muffled, there was no doubt that it was a scream of ultimate ecstasy. Christy withdrew her fingers and began to hungrily lick them, igniting one final inferno inside Ashley. "One more. One more."
Ashley flipped Christy onto her back and nestled in between her legs and began to grind. "Oh shit, I love this." Christy purred. She looked up at Ashley as she worked her hips in a way that Christy didn't know was possible for the former champ. "You look so goddamn good doing this… FUCK! Did you do this to Lisa?!"
"Yes. Made her come like I'm gonna make you come." Ashley began to grind harder and faster.
"YES! SHIT! AAAGGGHHHH!" Christy said before grabbing one of Ashley's wrists and wrapping Ashley's hand around her throat.
Ashley chuckled. "You are such a slut, aren't you?" Christy nodded and grinned as Ashley applied pressure around her throat. Christy groaned and rolled her eyes into the back of her head.
"Oh shit. Christy… I think I'm gonna…"
"Just do it."
Ashley began crying out more and Christy's groans grew louder. Moments later, Ashley let loose again.
"OH SHIT, I'M COMING AGAIN!" Ashley screamed as she hit Christy with a second ejaculating orgasm. This caused her to release her grip on Christy's throat. Christy reached down and began frantically rubbing her pussy, mixing Ashley's come with her own soaking wetness, bringing herself to a rapid end, her orgasmic cry equally as loud as Ashley's. The two women lay recovering for several minutes before one of them finally broke the silence.
"Damn you were better than I expected." Christy said. "Forget my mouth. Girl, where did you learn to eat like that?"
Ashley chuckled. "Beginner's luck."
"Bullshit. You were a lesbian in a former life. A good one at that."
Ashley giggled and licked her lips. "I didn't get to feel your mouth."
Christy smiled. "The night is still young. And don't worry. You're not getting out of here without my mouth on every digit and orifice of your body."
"I picked the right one to call then." Both women laughed.
"Stay as long as you need to."
"I appreciate that." Ashley said. "But let's not talk about that right now."
"Right. So you're really gearing up for Taryn, huh?"
"Yeah." Ashley said. "I think I kind of hurt her feelings because I started with other girls after I got initiated."
"Well, I have no doubt you'll make it up to her in the bedroom when the time is right." Christy paused. "You really like her, huh?" Ashley was about to put up a mild protest. "It's a little bit more than a hook up for you with her and that's okay. It'll make the sex that much better."
"It's that obvious, huh?"
"You're the puppy dog, she's the ball."
Ashley smiled. "WOOF!"
"Speaking of 'WOOF', that's exactly how I was thinking that my mouth should meet you… in the style of the dog."
Ashley shook her head and grinned. "Yep. I definitely picked the right one to call."
Tuesday, July 16, 2013 – 3 pm – Ashley and Jesse's apartment
Earlier in the day, Jesse had sent a text to Ashley letting her know that he was headed to work and would be gone for four days. He apologized again to her for the short notice on the job and promised to make it up to her. The text message went unanswered. Ashley had decided that she did not want or need to think about Jesse for the day. She decided to watch one of her favorite movies, Jackass. Ashley was in the middle of laughing hysterically when she heard a knock on the door.
"COMING!" Ashley said before bursting into laughter again. She got up and walked over to the door. When she opened it, her eyes fell upon a sight that instantly broke her heart. The normally unflappable Lisa Marie Varon was standing in front of her in tears.
"Lise, what's wrong?" Ashley asked, pulling Lisa in and closing the door behind her. As she brought Lisa over to the sofa and sat her down, her eyes fell upon what Lisa was holding. It was a FedEx Express envelope. Inside, she immediately went in to panic mode, but because Lisa was so emotional, she managed to suppress her emotions. She turned the TV off and focused on Lisa.
"This… just got delivered to me this afternoon." Lisa tearfully said as she handed the envelope to Ashley. Fearing what it might be, Ashley gingerly took the envelope and slid the letter inside out to read.
TNA Entertainment, LLC
209 10th Avenue South, Suite 302
Nashville, Tennessee 37203-0730
Lisa Marie Varon
100 W. Grant Street, Unit 304
Orlando, Florida 32806
Dear Lisa Marie Varon:
Effective October 16, 2013, your employment with TNA Entertainment, LLC will be officially terminated.
Ashley couldn't read another word. She simply dropped her head and began sobbing. Lisa was done in TNA. Despite the October termination date, it was known within the wrestling community that the day you receive your termination letter is effectively your last day with the company. There is no more television time for you, no house shows, no appearances. The non-compete clause is a myth perpetuated by the fans. You are sent your final paycheck with your termination letter and you are sidelined for ninety days until your termination date has passed.
The two women embraced and wept for several minutes. They both knew that with Lisa's termination, nothing was keeping her in Florida. She had a restaurant in her adopted hometown of Chicago that she told Ashley she would go to when she was done with wrestling. They also knew that at 42 years old, Lisa had long exceeded her shelf life as a main event women's wrestler and that she was able to go as long as she did was a testament to good genetics coupled with God-given beauty and a strong work ethic that was evidenced by the tremendous shape she was still in.
"I'm so sorry." Lisa tearfully said as Ashley embraced her tightly.
"What… are you apologizing to me for? I should be saying that to you." Ashley replied.
"I'm sorry I'm leaving you." Lisa said.
Ashley sniffed her tears. "Don't apologize. You're free. You've got Chicago waiting for you."
"I was really diggin' the locker room again. It felt like old times back in Attitude Era." Lisa said as she wiped tears from her face.
"Well you know that anytime you need a shoulder to cry on… or a titty to suck on…" Lisa began laughing through her tears as Ashley's face morphed into a big grin as she continued. "I'm your girl."
Lisa took Ashley by both hands. "I am gonna miss the shit out of you."
Ashley felt the onset of another round of tears but she still managed to eke out a zinger. "Of course you are… I… make it rayne… bitch." With that, both women began sobbing again and held and rocked in each other's arms for several more moments. Ashley then broke the embrace to ask Lisa a very important question.
"Have you told anybody else?"
"No. You're the first one."
Ashley grabbed her phone off of the coffee table. "I've got to let the girls know before the internet gets hold of it." Ashley quickly started a group text message. She had been on the receiving end of messages like the one she was about to craft, but this was her first time as the author.
Group MMS
To: Taryn, Vel Vel, Tess, Kimmy, Mick, Val, Red Hot
911. FedEx got one of us today. Lisa got served. Not a rib. I'm devastated. She's with me now.
Ashley hit send and held the phone in her lap awaiting the texts and calls that would soon follow.
"This is gonna work out for the best anyway." Lisa said.
"Why is that?" Ashley asked as she cocked her head to the side.
"Cause I think I was starting to fall for you a little bit and you are looking happy flying your freak flag." Lisa said with a small, proud smile. Before Ashley could open her mouth to respond, three consecutive text chimes on her phone sounded.
"Now you tell me when you've got one foot on Michigan Avenue." Ashley deadpanned.
"Anyway, you're a young, tender plant. You need to germinate with other young, tender plants and not an old cactus."
"Oh I am gonna prick myself on the old cactus several times before she ships out of town, trust me." Ashley proclaimed before her phone rang.
"I love you. Never forget that." Lisa said, pointing a finger at Ashley.
Ashley hit the talk button on her phone but before she raised it to her ear she smiled. "I love you too."
Before you start throwing things at the screen and cursing my name, Lisa really was terminated from TNA on July 16, 2013. I just filled in some blanks. And I wanted to show this to show you how the wrestling industry turns over. Remember, all four of the main protagonists from my first story, Mickie, Beth, Melina and Kat, were all gone from WWE by the time I started writing this story.
Okay. We are now 13 chapters in. So, what's next? I am going to take a day or two to decide. It will definitely be WWE. I've had some people that want to know what happened at Paige's post-title win celebration at the Four Seasons. I also have in my mind what is next for the main roster's Circle Divas. NXT or Main Roster. Hmmm. What is an author to do? You'll have to comeback for chapter 14 to find out. But before you do…
