Chapter 21- First Date & Second Date

SummerSlam 2014 was vastly approaching! 5 days to be precise. Tuesday Night Smackdown taping went off without a hitch and all the matches were officially set and ready to go that following Sunday. Some of the Superstars and Divas had decided they needed a night to blow off steam before Axxess started the following morning on Thursday. Everyone caught the American Airlines flight to Los Angeles the following Wednesday morning after the Smackdown taping.

Trinity found an amazing Karaoke bar in downtown Los Angeles. She knew the guys would more than likely be recognized, but no one really cared they needed a night off and damn if they weren't' going to get one.

Aria had been sitting at the table with everyone as she and Alison whispered back and forth about Jon who had been constantly trying to get her to talk to him after their days off together in Pensacola two and a half almost three months prior. Alison shook her head and brought up a valid point. "Aria, you got to kick his ass on the mat in Joe's basement. You took all your pent up frustrations out on him and he let you."

"And it felt fuckin good too." Aria pointed out with a curt nod. "I don't know what more he wants from me."

"Clearly he likes you more than you think and I can tell he's slowly ebbing away at your hard candy shell. Just talk to the man. Clearly you guys had a connection nine years ago or you wouldn't have let him in your panties back then and you wouldn't have been so hurt by him not remembering after taking as many chair shots to the head and concussions than one person can count on one hand woman."

"Damn it I hate it when you're right."


By the end of the night, Aria was trying to hide behind Alison as Jon was screaming at the top of his lungs on the Karaoke stage. Of course before the music even started he said he was dedicating the long to 'an insanely beautiful emerald eyed beauty who rocked his world nine years prior'. She was glad no one but Alison and Joe understood what Jon's dedication meant. She rolled her eyes until the song started.

Aria couldn't believe...of all the songs in the free world he just had to pick that one! By the time he hit the second verse; EVERYONE in the bar was on their feet cheering and singing along with him.

Jon smirked as he watched Aria's cheeks redden when he walked over and rubbed against her side as she was sitting on the tall chair around the tables.

Workin' double time on the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause -just another course
Made a meal out of me, and come back for more
Had to cool me down to take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quakin'
My mind was achin'
And we were makin' it and you -

Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long
Knocked me out and then you
Shook me all night long
Then you were shakin' and you
Shook me all night loooong
Yeah you shook me
Well, you took me

Jon of course air guitared his cute little tight jean covered ass all over the bar thrusting his pelvis at anyone and everyone.

You really took me and you
Shook me all night long
Oaaaaaahhhhhh you shook me all night long
Yeah yeah you
Shook me all... night... long
Ya really took me and you
Shook me all night long

Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me
All night loooong!

When the music cut everyone cheered and Aria bolted from the bar.


Aria had never been so embarrassed in all her life. As soon as Jon rubbed up against her it was clear to everyone that she had been the 'emerald beauty' he'd mentioned beforehand. She was only too happy that the bar was across the street from the hotel everyone was staying at. She pulled her heels off and ran across the street and into the lobby of the hotel.

Jon caught up with Aria. "What you didn't enjoy the serenade I dedicated to you?" Jon was actually just trying to get her to have a little fun and get a smile on her face. She had no idea how beautiful she really was when she smiled a TRUE smile...a REAL smile.

"Actually I think you're a prick for doing that in front of my co-workers and a bunch of fuckin strangers." Aria snapped.

"It was only for fun Aria. No one will take it as seriously as you will." Jon stated with a roll of his eyes. He could already feel the fight coming. They hadn't true spoken a sane word to each other since she'd kicked him in the balls. Hell she didn't even say much when she was kicking his ass in his best friends basement.

"Go fuck yourself Jon."

Jon watched as she started to walk away, but he reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled her around to face him. "I've said I was sorry a million times - literally since you kicked my ass Aria. I'm not going to continue to kiss your ass. I'm sorry I forgot! I don't know what else to say or do to make it up to you. I even tried asking you out on a date and you laughed in my face. When you're ready to have an actual conversation with me you let me know. Until then..." Jon bowed his head. "Have a nice day Miss Winters." He let go of her as he walked across the lobby and got on the elevator to go back to his room.

That egotistical, self-centered son of a bitch! Aria refused to let him get the last word this time and took off after him, practically slamming him against the wall in the elevator just as the doors closed. "Let's get one thing straight right now, you no good-" The elevator suddenly lurched to a stop, causing both of them to tumble with Aria's body crashing against Jon's, the lights flickering. What the hell was that? "Get away from me!" She snapped, shoving away from him and started pounding on the START button, but the elevator would not budge. "No…No god NO!"

Jon was highly surprised Aria followed him into the elevator; actually damned surprised. When the elevator jerked to a stop and the lights flickered he knew the elevator was breaking down. Aria fell against him and he grabbed her waist to keep her from falling to the ground and she got pissed and yelled at him then shoved him against the opposite wall from her and started yelling and banged on the doors. Jon crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall and let her yell it out. "You do realize doing that won't open the doors any faster right?"

"Do you ever shut up?" Aria demanded, stopping her onslaught on the elevator doors and looked up at the ceiling, trying to find a way out of here. There was no way she could be stuck in a small enclosed space with Jon. Nothing good would come of this. Scowling, Aria moved to the opposite side of the elevator and slid down the wall until her ass met the flooring.

Jon shook his head. He was half tempted to pop one of the ceiling tiles off and climb up and out and leave her ass in the elevator. She wanted him to shut up so much he could leave her there alone with the only sound of her voice to keep her company. Just as he was about to reach above him the phone inside the elevator rang, so he answered it. He let the maintenance people know there were two people in there and they said they'd get to them ASAP, apparently all the elevators in the building had gone down. He hung the phone back up and sat down on the floor and stretched his legs out. He took his cell phone out and started playing Angry Birds. Joe had got him hooked to the damn game. Good thing he had a full battery.

This was unbelievable.

What the hell did Aria do to deserve this?

She was stuck in an elevator with a man that made her blood boil for two different reasons. He could make her temper show in seconds and made her blood boil erotically. Aria decided to take a chance and pushed herself to her feet, walking over to stand over Jon. "I'm sorry." That left a really bad taste in her mouth. Aria lowered herself to sit beside him while he continued playing with his cell phone and she finally took it from him, forcing his eyes to snap to stare at her. They were cold, hard and full of so much hurt that it took her breath away. "Jon…" Setting his cell phone down beside her, Aria cupped his face in her hands and brought his mouth to hers, passionately kissing him. It was the only way she could think of to prove she truly was sorry for the way she'd acted towards him.

She said she was sorry and then she took his phone. Now she was kissing him. What the fuck was going on? He gripped her hips and pulled her onto his lap. The kiss took him by complete surprise; almost as much as the apology. As much as he enjoyed her kissing him and he WAS enjoying it, he ripped his lips from hers. "Whoa – whoa – whoa! What the hell is THAT all about? One minute you hate me and the next you're kissing me. You're going to give me whip lash woman." His eyes never left her hypnotic emerald eyes. Jesus those eyes were going to be the death of him.

"I never said I hate you. I don't hate you, Jon. I just…" Then Aria decided to listen to Alison's advice and stared deep into his electric blues, seeing all the confusion swirling in them combined with need. The kiss wasn't pure lust, there was something more in it and Aria felt herself drawn to this man in ways she never felt before. "You scare me. This electricity between us…it's overwhelming. It was there that night nine years ago and it's still there right now." Aria pressed her forehead to his, still keeping hold of his face and closed her eyes. "I know I'm running hot and cold right now, but I'm so confused about this and I've been lashing out because I don't know how to handle what I feel for you."

Jon's hands went from her hips to wrapping around her body. "I tend to come on strong. I haven't dated a lot since I started in the wrestling game. I've had 3 maybe 4 serious girlfriends. They can tell you just like anyone else that knows me. I'm fiercely loyal to whoever I'm dating whether it's for 3 seconds, 3 months or 3 years. I'm overprotective as all get out. And when I see someone who I'm not only attracted to physically and mentally, I go after them. So I will apologize about being direct and forward." His middle and index finger came up and brushed a couple of strands of her hair off her forehead as his lips gently brushed her forehead. "God you're beautiful." He watched as a blush exploded on her cheeks as her eyes dropped down. Jon chuckled softly as he leaned his head down to catch her eyes with his again. "Hey, don't look away and don't be embarrassed. I'm only telling you the truth." He sighed softly as her eyes came back up to meet his. "So are you done running from me and doe fighting me? Can I finally take you on thaat date?" He asked exhaustedly.

How could she resist those beautiful eyes of his? How could ANY woman resist them? This man was dangerous in more ways than one and it had nothing to do with his in-ring ability. "I'm not an easy person to get along with." Jon just smiled. "I don't easily trust and I don't get close to hardly anyone." Again, the smile remained on his handsome face and Aria found herself completely entranced. "I don't want anything with you, not until we get to know each other better."

Jon smirked. "Well than I guess we have a few things in common. The friends who are around me the most are the ones I keep the closest. If they cross me for any reason I don't give second chances; they already had one chance not to fuck it up and if you're stupid enough to do something stupid then you don't deserve a second chance." His thumb brushed against her cheek as he leaned down and brushed a soft kiss across her lips. "Second item on the agenda the friends I do have they are the only ones I trust. Since you are part of the circle along with Joe and Alison you are all part of the trust you will get from me. Just don't get pissed off if I get overprotective. It's in my nature to protect those closest to me. And Third, I want to get to know you. I want to know everything about you. If we spend the next several days talking and not touching or kissing I can live with that. It will totally suck, but I can live with it."

"I don't think I could go without touching and kissing you." Aria said truthfully, her entire body burning being this close to him and slid her hands down his muscular arms, sighing. "Why am I in your circle of trust? You hardly know me and I've been making you suffer left and right."

Jon's hands went back to her hips as he gripped them pulling her closer to him. He buried his face in the side of her neck and took in her scent. He couldn't put his finger on what it was. It wasn't a common scent, but whatever it was it intoxicated him. His lips softly kissed along her neck as his hand slid up her back and pulled her hair from her neck as his lips continued to assault her bare flesh. "Actually, as soon as someone is in the circle of friends, which you were by association with Alison because of Joe; you had my trust. Damn I need to restrain myself." He mumbled against her neck; his voice husky, which he failed miserably at hiding.

"I knew you before they did so technically, I should've been in the trust circle first." Aria pointed out breathlessly, slipping her fingers in his hair and gripped it, ripping his mouth away from her neck. "And hopefully I'll be able to keep your trust." Her mouth sealed to his neck, reciprocating what he'd done to her and had to fight back the urge to start grinding on his lap. "Why are you trying to restrain yourself?" She smiled, nuzzling his neck and let his scent engulf her, moving her mouth across his Adam's apple to the other side and finally stopped teasing him. Aria rested her head against his shoulder, her nose buried in his neck as her eyes closed. "So where do you wanna take me on a date?"

Jon's deep chuckled echoed in the small enclosed space. "Believe me if I wasn't showing restraint, we'd both be naked right now." It was a good thing his jeans were tight because once they left the elevator he would have his own personal flag pole – so to speak. "And we'd both be getting exactly what we both want right now." Jon smirked as he took her hand and put it palm down against his t-shirt covered chest and guided it all the way down to the pit of his jean covered crotch. He chuckled harder when her eyes widened. "See restraint." He kissed her lips softly again. "And I'll take you wherever the fuck you want to go beautiful."

This man was EVIL. E-V-I-L! Two could play that game, Aria thought, emerald eyes slowly darkening as she began rubbing his jean covered crotch with her hand. "Fuck the date. I don't need candlelight and roses. I want this. YOU want this. So just take me to your bed and show me how unrestrained you can be." Her tongue snaked out, outlining his lips before planting a hot searing kiss, breaking it a few minutes later when they both needed oxygen. "Just for the record, you're hotness level skyrockets when you say fuck."

Jon smirked as his hand buried in her hair and his hand removed her hand from his crotch and he rolled them from sitting to her being on her back and him kneeling between her thighs, holding both of her hands above her head as he softly kissed her lips and then moved down her jaw. "Well Guess fucking what gorgeous? I don't fucking work that way. We are going on a fuckin date and then I might just ravage the fuck out of you beautiful." His voice was low as his breath brushed her ear several times. His cell phone rang and as he kept her writhing against him on the elevator floor he grabbed his cell. "Hello Jon's fuck hut?"

Aria bit back a laugh as Jon kept teasing her, twisting her wrists in his hand trying to break free while he talked on the phone. "Not funny…" She mumbled, loud enough for only him to hear, her entire face cherry red.

"Heard you got trapped in the elevator bro...That's what you get for commenting on the pic Alison sent you last week ya fucker." Joe's voice chuckled out as he hung up the phone.

"Fucker." Jon chuckled.

"Fine, wine and dine me, but then I expect you to rock my world to the moon afterwards." Aria stated as soon as Jon slid his phone back in his pocket, going back to exploring her neck just as the elevator lurched. "If we don't get up, we'll have an audience and-" The doors suddenly opened and Aria shoved Jon away from her, using all of her power and strength to get away from him at the sight of the person staring at them.

"H-Hi Mr. Calaway…" Oh God it would have to be Alison's father! FUCK!

"Aria." Mark grumbled. "Don't you two have a room somewhere?"

"Yes Sir." Jon stated.

"Good! Get there!" Mark growled.

"Yes Sir." Jon was only too grateful Mark didn't get on the elevator with them as he reached up and hit the button to his floor.

Once the doors were closed he stood up from the floor. "Good news. The elevator is working again." He exhaled heavily. "Oh God I almost shit my pants. Jesus Christ on a cracker! You know who that was right?" He noticed Aria was just laughing as she nodded. He took her hands and pulled her to stand up; before either of them knew it he had her pressed against the elevator wall as his hand hit the stop button. His mouth devoured hers as he lifted her from the ground and her legs wrapped around his waist. "God you're going to be the death of me." He groaned before his lips captured hers again.

"If you keep this up, we won't get to that date and just end up in bed." Aria cautioned, speaking right against his lips and simply kissed him again. His mouth was too addicting. Jon had to break away from her, slowly setting Aria back on her feet and kept his arms around her, which she didn't mind. "When do you want to take me out and what's the dress code gonna be?" She asked, pressing the START button and pulled Jon's mouth to hers again before he could speak. Her body shivered from head to toe when he growled in her mouth, their tongues dueling from the umpteenth time, fingers delving in his hair once again just as the doors opened. "This better be the shortest date in history, Mr. Good."

Jon licked his lips and could still taste the sweet honey from her lips on his lips. He groaned. "I can't believe I'm about to fuckin say this." He looked down at Aria as she looked up at him with those hypnotic emerald eyes. He grabbed her hand and yanked her against his body before he leaned his head down next to her ear as he gently nibbled on it. "Fuck the date." He watched as she pulled back and started to say something when he covered her mouth with his hand. "I'll take you out on a date in a couple of days; when we decide to leave my room." He leaned down and threw her over his shoulder and took her directly to his room. As soon as they were inside he let her slide down his chest until her legs were firmly wrapped around his waist and his tongue was battling hers for dominance once again. His hands slid down and squeezed her ass firmly.

Clothing disappeared faster that a cake at a Weight Watchers meeting before Jon climbed up her naked body. Aria ran her hands down his muscular arms as their chests pressed together and gasped when his pulsating erection brushed against her dripping sex, immediately covering her mouth with his again. "Fuck me, Jon."

Jon groaned into her mouth as he felt her press her naked chest against his. "I'll tell you right now, you won't ever have to ask or suggest. I'll know what you want and when you want it." He gripped her hips as he lifted her slightly and then guided his erection into her with ease. "I think you should hang on." He softly licked the shell of her ear as he suddenly moved around and planted her back against the head board and steadied her there with his pelvis as his hands slid down her legs to her ankles and pulled them up and locked them behind his back. "What do you say we make some neighbors jealous?" He asked as his hands gripped the head board and he slowly pulled out before thrusting back into her.

The sheer dominance Jon exuded took Aria's breath away as her backside bounced off the headboard with every thrust he produced in her very receptive body. Aria held onto his strong arms, knowing she'd never be able to get enough of this. Everything Jon did was precise and he definitely knew how to get the job done in the bedroom. Aria whipped her head back, getting lost in the sensations as his mouth devoured her neck and ears, meeting him for every thrust. Her hands slid up his arms to his shoulders, digging her nails in a bit to leave crescent shape moon indents in his skin and finally gripped his hair, slamming her mouth on his.

Jon already decided he loved being buried in this woman. Everything about her took his breath away. He didn't care if she wanted the moon, he would move heaven and Earth to get her anything and everything her heart desired. He hadn't felt this way about a woman in a long - LONG time. He groaned when she dug her nails into his skin but it was a groan of pure enjoyment. He could let her do that for the rest of his life and be completely happy. He ceased all movement and let her down carefully as he stepped off the bed before grabbing her ankles and dragging her to the edge and flipping her up on her knees as her back was tight against his chest. He slipped right back into her body as if he always belonged there. His lips devouring the naked flesh of her neck and shoulders as his hands splayed across her naked body.

"Oh Jon!" Aria loved how he knew exactly what position to put her in and how to hit that sweet spot with every thrust. The feeling of him inside of her was exquisite and, if it was physically possible, Aria would live with him buried inside of her. Everything about him completed her, at least in the bedroom. The intensity of her feelings for him ran deeper than any other man she'd ever been with in her life and Aria knew she already belonged to Jon. Just as he belonged to her. Her head lulled back against his strong shoulder as his hands caressed her, her hand reaching back to massage the back of his neck before gripping his hair. Aria couldn't get enough of doing that and gasped when Jon's hand snaked down her body to start rubbing her sensitive swollen clit with his thumb, his thrusts never ceasing. "JON!"

Jon pulled her hair out of his way as he sealed his lips to the back of her neck and groaned as he could feel her falling apart in his arms yet again. She'd done it quite a few times since they'd gotten into his room and he loved every single second of it. This time around she didn't notice that he had her facing the mirror in the room. As he continued to pump in and out of her and stroked her clit through her orgasm, his mouth went to her ear. "Open your eyes beautiful." He loved the feeling of her hand buried tightly in his hair holding him to her. As soon as she opened her eyes and their eyes meet in the mirror and his thrusts increased tenfold. I want you to see what I see when you cum all over me." His index and middle finger applied pressure on her clit and within a few seconds of her first climax they were both exploding into the second one; calling out each other names.

"Oh yes! JON!" Aria bellowed out as they came together in one explosive eruption while watching each other's reflections. The look on his face was full of pure ecstasy and bliss, his face contorted in an almost snarl that caused a full body shiver to rip throughout her frame. Her mouth was partially open, their bodies coated in a fine sheen of perspiration and her fiery red hair was just as haphazard as his. The vision of him pounding in and out of her, riding out their orgasms was too much for Aria to take as she shattered yet again against him, squeezing her eyes shut, arching her head as Jon's lips crashed on hers. Seconds later, they collapsed on the bed in that position with Jon spooned up against her, their mouths never detaching as he finally grew limp.

Jon looked down at the naked angel that was pressed against his naked body as their breathing calmed as did their bodies. On some level he knew they would re-connect. There was just something about this woman from 9 years ago that had stuck with him and no he couldn't remember her at first but once he did; the memories of that Thanksgiving weekend plagued his mind 24/7. He'd lost count on how many rounds they'd actually gone since being in his hotel room. He knew both of their phones had gone off several times, but there was no way he was going to stop worshiping her and her body just to answer the phone.

His nose brushed against her nose as they calmed down even more. He brushed a soft kiss across her forehead, the tip of her nose and then finally her lips before he pulled himself from the bed; pulling his jeans on and grabbing his smokes from the night table. He wasn't sure how she felt about smokers so he pulled the window open as he lit one up and inhaled deeply. He needed it after what they'd just did.

He was so considerate and, although Aria didn't smoke, she couldn't help thinking how incredibly sexy he looked with smoke filtering from his mouth and nose. Aria slid from the bed and grabbed a terry cloth robe the hotel provided, tying it around her waist joining him at the window.

Her arms wrapped around his waist as Aria pressed soft kisses across his back, finally just resting her cheek against it while he smoked his cigarette. "That was the best first date I ever had."

"You wait and see how great the second date is when I finish this smoke."

Aria liked the idea of that promise of what was to come.
