Chapter 15

She HAD to remove the robe, didn't she? Of course she did. It was torment the sexually frustrated Undertaker day. And then admitting he had rubbed off on her and not entirely in the way he had wanted too...Maybe coming here hadn't been the best of ideas. Though...Alexis was beginning to do the whole heat flash thing again which made him grin wickedly.

"Have I now?"

"Yeah because normally I would feel bad for the poor girl." She would not look in his eyes, she would not do it. If she did it was over and she knew it. He would have her and she would completely surrender to him. She couldn't let that happen so the floor was her new best friend as far as gaze went. "When do you plan on going through with the rest of this plan?" She asked softly, feeling the room become cooler though it wasn't helping the raging fire that was spreading throughout her body. Just being NEAR him got her going and Alexis didn't understand it.

"Two nights from now." He rumbled, moving over to perch on the edge of her bed, trying not to be amused. It was all too obvious she was avoiding looking at him. His eyes darkened as they roamed her body, sighing softly. "Alexis," He whispered, seeing her shoulders tense. "Look at me."

The fire had just turned into molten lava as it flowed through her veins, her name coming from his lips in a seductive whisper causing her eyes to close. She took a deep breath and finally lifted her head, meeting his eyes, seeing how much they'd darkened over. Oh god. She had to be strong. But damn if he wasn't gorgeous and dripped pure sexuality. Everything from his eyes, to his hair, those lips she'd felt twice...No she couldn't think about that!

"On Raw then." She tried like hell to keep the shakiness out of her voice, but knew she failed miserably. "That should be...interesting."

"Indeed." 'Taker purred, staring into her beautiful violet eyes. "Of course it will wind up violent, McMahon or someone else will interfere, but I'm hoping the Ministry will pull through." Why was he talking business with her when he could be showing her pleasures she never even dreamed about? "Having second thoughts?"

That caught her off guard as Alexis blinked, slowly shaking her head. "No, I want to be in the Ministry, no matter the dangers." Her voice was barely above a whisper now, not able to pull away from his gaze.

What was it about this man that stirred her blood? That completely lit her on fire like no other man ever could? Alexis didn't understand it and it both enticed and scared the hell out of her at the same time.

Personally, he was wondering if she could remain cool while he 'married' another woman. Given that only hours ago she had been professing her love for him, 'Taker made a mental note to let Farooq to be on alert for chair shots coming his way, just in case. Just because she had increased tenfold in the sweet and sexy department didn't mean she wasn't capable of going insane on his ass again.

"Hot?"

"No." She lied through her teeth and had to get the situation under control. She took another silent breath before smiling back at him, trying to simmer the amount of desire that was coursing through her. God she wanted him; she wanted him to just take her right here and now. That wasn't the best track of mind to go on. Him marrying Stephanie. "The Ministry will handle it and everything will be fine, 'Taker." She patted his hand and stood up, needing to put some space between them, walking over to stare out the window. It was right by the air conditioner so that was helping her cool down even more.

Smirking slightly, 'Taker got up and walked behind her, making no noise as he moved. His tattooed arms snaking around her waist and pulling her back against him, feeling how flushed her skin was even with the air conditioner going full tilt. Of course his was icy, having taken several cold showers today and been in the air conditioning. He was taking no chances.

"You seem distant tonight." He murmured in her ear, his breath hot against her ear. "What's wrong, Alexis?"

This was torture and Alexis couldn't stop melting against him, her hands covering his as she swallowed past the lump that formed in her throat. She couldn't speak, her voice box wasn't working, and her eyes instantly drifted closed when he pressed a simple kiss to her neck. She'd already told him she wanted him so of course he was going to torment her until she submitted against him.

"'Taker..." She breathed out, her stomach tensing, remembering the night he pulled her from the tub and kissed the breath right out of her. "I don't know..." She finally whispered, not about to tell him she was going to explode if she didn't cool down soon. It was a damn good thing she put her hair up or else she would be sweating, his body pressed against hers not helping.

"Don't know what?" He murmured, trailing kisses around her throat to the other side, feeling her melting against him and 'mine' flashed through his head. However...'Taker stepped away, raking a hand through his hair. "We have a day of traveling ahead of us tomorrow. We're going to be changing location frequently to keep the McMahons and anyone else they send off of us. You should probably rest."

"Y-Yeah, I will..." Her chest was heaving and Alexis felt like she was going to either pass out from how much heat was filling her or tackle the son of a bitch to the bed. Her violet eyes were darker, almost as dark as his color and she had to shake herself mentally, though a tremor flowed through her body. He wasn't getting away that easily though as she grabbed him before he could walk out the door, spinning him around, and brought his lips against hers, passionately kissing him, finally pulling away. "Sleep well 'Taker." She then walked into the bathroom and closed the door, locking it before taking another cold shower.

Oh that dirty bitch, she was not playing fair and here he was going to back off and not play on the 'I'm in love with you' card like he normally would have. He was going to be a gentleman and not press his advantage and what did she do, she kissed him. Sighing, he dropped down onto her bed, leaning against the head board with his legs crossed in front of him. He sincerely hoped that cold shower did the job for her.

Alexis stayed in there a full hour before she finally emerged, slipping her nightgown back on along with a new pair of panties. At this rate, she would need to buy more as she walked out, towel drying her hair and shivered as the cool room hit her. "Damn." She grunted, turning it off and turned around, jumping out of her skin when she seen 'Taker hadn't left, raising a slow eyebrow. "I thought you left." She flipped her hair over to dry the rest of it before flipping it back up, hanging down her back. It had grown and was almost to her waist now. Alexis's hair grew fast due to her Indian heritage, though she hated the sun.

"Now why on earth would I do that, hmm?" He asked softly, his green eyes practically glowing at her, smirking when she turned off the AC, knowing she was going to need to turn it right back on before he left. "Did you enjoy your bath?" It was an innocent question, mostly, remembering the time she had walked in on him and then vice versa, glad he wore tight jeans even if they were cutting into him at the moment.

"You mean my shower? Yeah, I guess." She replied, walking back into the bathroom to hang it up before walking back out, turning the light off, and wondering if he would be staying with her tonight.

Probably. That kiss had probably not been the best idea in the world, but he deserved it for teasing her damn it! Alexis pulled the comforter back, then thought twice about it, pulling a sheet out of the nightstand, and slid into bed, draping it over her.

"Mind if I spend the night? I don't feel like babysitting the banshee and Paul assured me he has it well under control." Not like it wouldn't be the first time they had shared a bed, though this time he had a goal other than actually sleeping. Torturing her the way she seemed to be torturing him. Not waiting for her answer, he rolled over on his side, staring at her intently. "Still hot?"

"No, I don't mind." She softly replied and felt her body start to ignite in flames, staring back into his green eyes that were filled with evil intentions. "Yeah, I am." She mumbled, not amused as she slid from the bed, only to be stopped by his hand wrapping around her arm and pulling her back on the bed, her wet black locks splayed all around her and over the pillow.

He was going to torture her and there wasn't a damn thing she could do to stop it from happening. Maybe he would take merciful pity on her and just take her. Alexis doubted it.

"Where are you going?" He murmured, pulling her against him, turning her so her back was to his chest, running a lazy hand up and down her side, fingers lingeringly caressing her. "Don't worry, Alexis, I won't bite you." He promised in her ear. "Nibble maybe..." His laughter was a low roll of thunder, green eyes now darkened with desire.

"I-I was going to um...turn the AC back on..."

Oh sweet Jesus this man was engulfing her in heat as she completely melted against him, his hand searing through the thin fabric of her nightgown. What was she supposed to do? Alexis sighed as her eyes drifted shut, just deciding to go with it and let nature take its course. It'd been so long since she was held by a man and tucked her arm beneath the pillow, her head resting against his free arm, feeling his hot breath on her ear.

Something told him if he really wanted too, he could have Alexis right this very minute and it was a deliciously tempting thought. Wondering if he was sprouting a conscious, 'Taker pushed all those thoughts from his mind, groaning when she just twitched. Knowing he was probably going to offend her in a moment because if he didn't adjust himself, it was probably going to explode.

Alexis felt him release her momentarily and didn't turn around, feeling him adjusting himself and had to bite her lip to keep from giggling, snuggling back against him again. His skin was feverishly warm as she kicked the sheet off, knowing she wouldn't need it with him here. Then again, the AC wasn't on and her blood was already on fire again. So much for the cold shower.

"Better?" She murmured softly, giggling quietly when he growled in her ear.

"Quiet wench." He muttered, very tempted to remove the damn jeans, but like usual he wasn't wearing anything underneath them. "Do you have an extra sheet in that drawer?" He asked quietly, when she nodded getting up and retrieving one. He slipped out of the jeans, kicked them aside and wrapped the sheet around his waist, not finding the color all that amusing, but at least he wasn't going to lose his favorite body part to poor circulation either.

Alexis flipped the AC on while she was up, knowing she wouldn't be able to stand it and slipped right back in bed, feeling how hard he was as he pressed against her butt. She felt his strong tattooed arm wrap around her waist and sighed in contentment, the heat within her simmering for the time being. She smiled and ran her nails gently back and forth on his arm, wondering if this is what her future held. She was thoroughly enjoying this, just laying with him, him spooned against her. This is what Alexis wanted. It wasn't just about sex in her mind. She wanted this, just comfort and someone who cared about her. 'Taker didn't love her, she knew that, and she was fine with it for the time being.

"Woman, if you want this," He dug his erection against her. "Away from that pert ass of yours, I'd stop that." He cautioned, exhaling against the back of her neck, knowing the only way it was going 'away' was if it wasn't fucking harder than a rock. Holding her was nice, felt good, but if she was going to touch him, even the gentlest of touches, he was going to lose his mind.

Alexis moaned softly when he did that, his hot breath on her neck driving her mad. She slowly rolled over to where she was facing him, draping her leg over his large muscular one, and softly kissed his lips. Her hands ran to his hair, threading her fingers through it since it was down, moaning softly and smiled when his arm tightened around her waist, their chests now pressed together. "'Taker..." She breathed out, breaking the kiss, and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly, trembling from how much desire was flowing through her for him. She was going to lose whatever resolve was left if she didn't stop this, but she couldn't. He felt too good, too strong and powerful and she was dying to be held as her face buried in his neck.

Gently, he untangled her from him, staring into her violet eyes, his own emerald orbs darkened with desire. Not believing he was doing this, he took a deep breath. "Alexis, I don't want to take advantage of you." He said softly, brushing a tendril of hair away from her face. "And that's exactly what it would be." Especially after her afternoon confession.

She couldn't believe what he was saying and it just made her heart swell for him even more. "Okay." She whispered and pulled her own sheet over her, putting some space between them, and snuggled down into her pillow.

She wanted him to hold her, but knew that wouldn't be the best idea. He wasn't taking advantage of her and that just made Alexis believe she'd made the right decision. She knew she confessed a lot to him, probably too much, but she didn't care about that. She was just happy to be back with him, no matter if they were lying in bed together or arguing. For however long he wanted her with him, Alexis was here to stay.

It was official, he could have fucked her senseless and he had turned it down. He had been the one to say 'not right now' what the hell was wrong with him? Deciding it had to be the stress of the whole Stephanie situation and all that, he was making retarded decisions because he was stressed. He closed his eyes, feeling a little bit better.
