Chapter 23

"Thanks." Joe muttered, trying not to sound gruff, but he literally just woke up thanks to the knocking on the door. "Man I'm starving…"

"Definitely a good sign." Bianca took her food from Jon, their fingers once again brushing together. "Do you want to eat on the balcony so you can smoke and we can talk a little more?"

Pure shock filled Jon's eyes when Bianca asked him that and he felt the biggest grin curve his mouth, wondering if this woman could be more perfect. "You've just officially made me the happiest man on earth." Most women couldn't stand it when he smoked and ate at the same time, but sometimes it woke him up a lot quicker. "Give me that back."

He took her food and placed it on the tray with his, lifting it with ease in one hand and grabbed her hand with the other, lacing their fingers together. He enjoyed how her hand fit so well in his and tugged her gently to follow him out to the balcony. Setting the tray down, Jon guided her into a seat at the patio table and set their plates on it before eating, inhaling the fresh air.

"This feels perfect."

"It does." Bianca agreed, completely famished after her 3 hour crying jag, but the fact she just made Jon the happiest man on the planet made her somehow feel better.

She didn't mind that he smoked while he ate as long as they weren't indoors. So she had a feeling they'd be having a lot of meals outside like this and Bianca looked forward to every one of them. She honestly thought she'd freak out without having her diamond ring on, but it was the opposite. She felt relieved and light for the first time in 5 years. 5 years…and she'd only been with Myron. How the hell was she supposed to do this with Jon?

"Look, I've never…I've only had one man in my life besides my brother and that was Myron. So I'm VERY inexperienced when it comes to…dating, I guess?" She sounded like a class A moron right now!

Jon reached over and took her hand, kissing the back of it with a brush of his lips like he had a few hours ago and felt her trembling slightly. "Calm down, sweetheart." He stood and walked over, squatting down in front of her with his hands resting on her thighs. "I'm not pushing you for anything. I want to take you on a date when you're ready and we're going to go as slow as you want or as fast as you want. You call the shots. If I move too fast, just sock me in the arm again to get my attention. Cause that was rather cute this morning. By the way, it didn't hurt just so you know. It felt more like a bee sting than anything else." He chuckled when she swatted his arm and got to his feet again, kissing her cheek. "Breathe easy beautiful and finish your breakfast. Today is relaxation day and that's exactly what we're going to do."

They finished their breakfast and headed back into the suite, seeing Colby and Kavari had rejoined the living. Slow was good and exactly what Bianca needed right now, so she was glad Jon had said she was calling the shots. It made her feel a little calmer about the situation.

Before they knew it, Monday had rolled around and Joe was back to his normal self. Though, something had changed with his attitude. He actually smiled more and seemed happier instead of gruff. The men gamed a few times with Call of Duty on the PS3 and every time Jon would die he would let out a stream of cuss words. Bianca couldn't help thinking how adorable he was and hadn't laughed so hard in her life alongside Kavari. It was hilarious to watch Colby and Jon banter back and forth about kicking each other's asses in the game while Joe just sat back shaking his head. They wouldn't get a stretch of days like this for quite a while, so Bianca soaked up as much as she could.

Sleeping in Jon's arms was amazing and he remained a perfect gentleman, keeping his hands away from her intimate parts. He stuck to kissing her neck and head, not going near her lips because he wanted her to decide when that happened. Standing in her room, Bianca packed up her things while everyone else did the same thing. They were leaving straight from the arena that night after Raw to head to the next area for Smackdown! and Bianca was a bundle of nerves to put it lightly. Jon kept his things in his room and let Bianca dictate where he slept. If she wanted him with her, then that's where he'd be. If she didn't, he had his own room. It was ultimately her choice where she wanted or needed him. Jon didn't lie, he would go at her pace and if they did start going too fast or she started freaking out, he hoped she'd tell him. The last thing he wanted to do was become too much for her all at once, to overwhelm her to the point where she ran away from him. Once Jon was done packing his things up, he set them by the front door and went to check on Bianca, watching her from the doorway as she zipped her suitcase.

"You almost ready?" He asked, stepping in the room and gently gripped her hips, kissing her neck softly. "Let me get this for you and you can finish up."

Smiling over her shoulder at his retreating form, Bianca chewed her bottom lip and touched the spot on her neck where he kissed, closing her eyes. Her hips were also seared with his touch. Every time he touched her, Bianca's body would ignite and all she wanted to do was get lost in everything Jonathan Good. Zipping up her last bag, Bianca walked out of the room carrying it and rolled her eyes when Jon shook his finger at her, dropping a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm scared, Jon." She whispered, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressed her cheek against his chest, sighing heavily. "I just want this bullshit with Bryan and Vince McMahon to be over already. I want to be free to do whatever I want." Bianca trusted him enough to reveal how she felt, knowing he would do what he could to help her. "Just…Just tell me everything's going to be okay. I need reassurance."

Jon held her close to him and rested his chin on top of her head, knowing she was extremely apprehensive about tonight because of her brother. Rightfully so. "Just remember one thing: As long as you're with me, you're perfectly safe, Bianca. I won't let anything happen to you. Extreme Rules on Sunday might be slightly scary, but like I said as long as you're with me, you've got nothing to be afraid of." He'd protect her with his life and pulled back enough to lock eyes with her. "Do you trust me?"

"Yes." There was no hesitation in her answer because Bianca truly believed every word Jon said. She didn't release him and closed her eyes, squeezing his waist with her small arms. "If you would've asked me that a week ago, I would've laughed in your face and thought you were crazy. But that's the past and I want to start looking toward the future. I don't want to keep looking back."

Slowly looking up at him, Bianca reached up to caress his face with the back of her hand and brought his face down to hers, brushing their noses together. Trembling, she went in for the kill and pressed her mouth to his, feeling his arms tighten around her waist and Bianca completely melted against Jon. She was extended an olive branch and Jon refused to cut it down, returning the kiss cupping the back of her head. He tilted her head back slightly and deepened the kiss, brushing his tongue against her bottom lip and felt her grant him access to her sweet mouth. The moment their tongues touched, both parties shivered simultaneously as Jon softly caressed the recesses of her mouth. If this was their first real kiss, he'd make sure Bianca's body melted fully against him and enjoyed every second of it. A soft moan escaped Bianca as soon as her mouth opened and Jon's tongue brushed against hers, both of them tasting each other for the first time. Granted, they made out heavily a few days prior when they both had erotic dreams at the same time. Bianca didn't count that though, this was their first real kiss. She wanted him to know that she was willing to give him a chance and kissing Jon proved that she had all the trust in the world in him. Neither heard Kavari and Colby as Bianca slid her hand from Jon's face to his hair, gently gripping it as the kiss deepened a little more. She was doing more than melting against Jon – she was SCORCHING.

They were so lost in the kiss and moment neither noticed Kavari and Colby walking out of their room to join them. Kavari stopped in her tracks, sapphire eyes widening and looked up at Colby, wondering when the hell this happened. Colby bumped Kavari, thinking the exact same thing and all she could do was shake her head. She had no idea, but Bianca had one hell of an idea as far as kissing before leaving for the arena went. Smirking at the quizzical look on Cobly's handsome face, Kavari suddenly jumped in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist, cupping his beard covered cheeks before capturing his mouth with hers. Colby chuckled against Kavari's lips and had absolutely no problem with having a quick make out session. He held her close to him, hands planted firmly on her jean clad backside and returned the passionate hunger. Moving to press Kavari into the wall, Colby's hands slid up her sides and buried in her hair, their tongues dueling in a dance of seduction. A voice clearing behind the two couples jolted EVERYONE out of their hazy minds, the moments officially ruined.

"Damn…" Colby grunted, rubbing his nose against Kavari's and smirked over his shoulder at Joe. "Bro, do you mind?"

Bianca's cheeks were flushed and a deep crimson red, her eyes refusing to meet the others and felt Jon's arm wrap around her waist, blushing harder. Jon chuckled at Bianca's crimson cheeks and leaned down, his mouth by her ear. "Look up, remember they are still your friends. And if you don't get that blush under control, I'll give you a real reason to blush that hard all the way to the arena." He promised in a husky low rasp, kissing the shell of her ear softly.

"If you 4 are finished…" Joe stated, folding his arms in front of his chest. "We need to head to the arena."

Kavari groaned, feeling Colby set her back on her feet and smirked at Joe. "Oh look who's suddenly mister punctuality. There's seriously something wrong with you, big guy. You've had a few days off and I think you might still be sick. You don't RUSH back to work, you lag ass and go back when you feel like it." She walked over, picking her backpack up and shouldered it. "You are such a buzz kill, buddy, and I'm going to have to make it my life's mission to get you some pussy. So you'll stop bagging on Colby and Jon for trying to get some."

Bianca's jaw fell to the floor as soon as Kavari said that, her cheeks FLAMING up harder. She wasn't trying to fuck Jon! Not this soon! What the hell? She could hear Jon chuckling in her ear and felt him squeeze her side against him, biting her tongue. There was no way she could get her blush under control and, truthfully, Bianca was curious what exactly Jon would do to her on the way to the arena to keep her blushing on the way to the arena.

Joe snorted, rolling his eyes. "Whatever. I don't need you to get me pussy. I can get pussy whenever I want it. I just don't particularly want any pussy I see right now."

"Especially in this room." Colby wrapped a possessive arm around Kavari's shoulders, smirking when she elbowed him in his side. "Ouch baby, that hurts." He flicked her earlobe with his tongue. "Do it again. You know I like it rough…"

"OKAY, can we go now please? Yes, out the door all of you. We need to go. I agree with the big guy. Start marching." Bianca refused to watch them a second longer and opened the door, walking out with Jon hot on her trail.

Kavari giggled, slapping Colby's backside. "Behave, would you? We are no longer in the confines of our room and we're not here to give a show." Pushing up on her toes, she kissed his cheek and headed out after Bianca.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa you already know how I feel and you're the one setting the pace, no one else." Jon had caught up with Bianca easily, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Did you get that blushing issue fixed yet?" He joked, trying to lighten the mood a little. "We're not having sex unless you want to, got it? Kavari is just a little more outspoken and was referring to her and Colby, not us." They took the first elevator down to the lobby, leaving Colby, Kavari and Joe behind. "So, are you sitting up front with me while I drive?"

"Yes of course." Bianca blushed harder when he kissed the back of her hand, starting to get lost in his eyes as the elevator doors opened.

The last people Bryan expected to see when the elevator doors opened was Jonathan Good and his captured sister. "Bianca…"

OH SHIT, Bianca's mind immediately shouted, and immediately felt Jon's arm wrap tightly around her waist, knowing they had a show to put on. "Bryan…" She whimpered, honestly enjoying being this close to Jon and lowered her eyes when he glared down at her.

"Where's your posse?" Bryan demanded angrily, eyes practically spitting ice back at Jon. "Let her go right now, Good. She's got nothing to do with this." He was prepared to fight for his sister's freedom at that moment if that's what it took to get her away from this monster that had kidnapped her.

Jon growled, moving his arm from her waist to upper arm, making it look as though he was manhandling Bianca, his head cocked to the side. "We've already told you what the stipulation was for Extreme Rules. The contracts have been signed, you don't get her back a second sooner. You got 6 days, goat boy." He sneered viciously, keeping his grip on Bianca's upper arm gentle but firm. "If you don't like it, we could always renegotiate and I can have your sister for good. And you can shove those titles up your ass. I'm sure the boys would love to keep her and Kavari Jacobs as play toys." He pushed Bianca against the wall behind him after they walked past Bryan, pretending to put his weight on her to keep her from running and heard her whimper out. "SHUT UP BITCH! You're not going with him." He didn't see Bianca slip her hand in his pocket to grab his cell phone, sending a quick text message to Colby letting him know Bryan was in the lobby harassing them.
