I'm soooo sorry for making you all wait, but I'm sooo busy at work. My colleague is off sick (I doubt she really is) and I'm working like crazy.

I'm afraid this means only one update this week which is this one. I'm sorry :(

But hey...I'm still totally thrilled and excited that Seth retweeted one of my tweets on Sunday. Yihaaa, he knows I fucking exist *fangirl mode* haha

I hope you enjoy & review! :)

Chapter 9: Relationship issues

*I'm so sorry baby, but I can't make it. I'm having such a busy day. Please don't be mad. I'm staying in my room tonight. Can you come by real quick? I still have your long-sleeved shirt here. I'm sure you need it tomorrow. Love you, Maxi xx*

Needless to say Seth was beyond mad. He had been looking forward to seeing her again that night, excited to see if she kept her promise and finally gave in. And now? Now she dumped him – more or less.

He wanted to delete her message, switch off his phone and forget about her for the day. But unfortunately he really did need that shirt. He wished Dean and Roman were going to be around. He would definitely send one of them over to her room to get it for him.

*Ok*

That was all she would get. He wasn't in the mood to act as if everything was fine. He was sick of waiting, his body begging him for a release but all he could give his cock was a hand-job – all by himself, as always. It was frustrating.

He leaned back against the headboard of his bed, closing his eyes tightly, his cell phone still in his hand. He sometimes didn't understand her. He wished she was an open book, just like Karo. But Maxine was completely different. She kept things more or less to herself, not being as open-minded or brutally upfront like his friends were. It wasn't easy to read her. And that was devastating. He wished she would be more honest and open with him. He was her boyfriend after all. He couldn't shake off the feeling that she still had trouble trusting him.

He opened his eyes again and decided he needed to talk to someone who could maybe answer a few of his questions. He was at his wits' end with his girlfriend and needed some advice.

"Hey Sethie, how's it?" Karo said cheerfully, immediately picking up the phone after the second ring.

"Hey babe...well, things are a little chaotic, as always. That's life in the WWE. How are you and the family?" he asked, smirking to himself when she let out a content sigh.

"We're doing amazing. It's still such a great feeling to be a mommy. And Roman is completely in love with Leni. He's already whining about how much he's gonna miss her when he's back on the road," she giggled, looking over at Roman who was cuddling with their daughter on the couch.

"He can be such a pussy sometimes," Seth chuckled, taking a deep breath before getting to the point. "Do you have a few minutes for me, sweetie? I need to talk to you about something."

"Uhm...sure...gimme a minute," she said, covering the mouthpiece of her phone to make her way over to Roman, kissing his lips and telling him she would be back in a few minutes. "Alright, shoot."

She quickly made her way upstairs to her bedroom, sensing that Seth desperately needed someone to talk to. Someone that was her and nobody else. Otherwise he probably would have called Dean or Roman.

"It's about Maxine," he sighed, running a hand through his long two-toned hair. "She's driving me insane."

"Well, that's what women do, Sethie," she said with a chuckle, immediately stopping when he didn't join her laughter. "Okay, what happened?"

"It's probably something totally trivial...or even just a male problem, but how long can you women go without sex? Isn't it driving you crazy not getting it on after a while?" he asked honestly, a frown on his face.

"Uh...is this a serious question?" she asked, totally dumbfounded.

"Yes, it is, Karo. I've known her for months now, we've been dating for a little while. And each and every time we are about to get going, something or someone is interrupting us. This morning she promised me she would make it up to me tonight, but what happens? She texts me she won't be able to make it," he huffed, massaging the bridge of his nose with his free hand. "I'm so sick of getting myself off, you have no idea."

Karo remained silent for a few moments, the frustration he was feeling absolutely understandable. She was sure this wasn't just about a release, he would have gotten it if he wanted it so badly, but this was also about taking the next step in his relationship with Maxine.

"Every woman is different, you know? I can only speak of personal experience," she started, swallowing hard before continuing. "I love having sex. Whether it's fucking or making love, I can't go long without it, to be honest. I think it also depends if you're in a relationship or not. But after a week of not getting any, I'm becoming rather impatient. Do you know if she's...you know..."

"I don't know. I don't know anything when it comes to that. I have no idea if she even owns a fucking vibrator," he scoffed, leaning back so that he could get comfortable on the pillows.

"If I were in her position, I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night after having a heated making out session with you without having the need to get off," she admitted, giggling when he groaned. "But maybe she's different. Have you talked to her about any of this?"

"I've told her several times that I can't wait much longer. I know I promised her that I would, but it's been a while already," he continued to whine. "Maybe she doesn't even have that kind of longing for me."

"Oh come on, don't be ridiculous. You're a young, good-looking and sexy guy. Who wouldn't want to be fucked by you?" she more stated than asked, shaking her head in disbelief although he couldn't see it.

"You," he simply said, chuckling when she gasped. "Sorry, I had to."

"Well, I'm not counting though," she admonished, a small smile forming on her face. "Seth, you are desirable. This isn't about you."

"I really hope you're right," he once again sighed, running a hand over his face. "I guess I'll talk to her later. I need to pick up my shirt at her room anyways."

Karo turned around when she heard that the bedroom door has been opened, a smile on her face when Roman carried their little girl in his strong arms, a frown on his face.

"Babygirl, I don't wanna bother you but your daughter is hungry," Roman said, looking at her apologetically but Leni's cries were so loud that even Seth could hear them.

"Don't even think about apologizing," Seth quickly said when he felt that she was about to say something. "It's okay. Be a mommy now. I'll take care of my own business."

"Let me know what happens, ok? And keep your head up. I love you, Sethie. And so does she," Karo replied, hanging up after he returned the loving words his best friend had just directed at him.

She put her cell phone on her bedside table, taking her crying daughter away from her daddy before sitting down on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Roman asked curiously, sitting down next to her and helping her with her nursing bra.

"He and Maxine...they...you know, he's not getting any," she said, looking down at her daughter who was now contentedly drinking her mommy's breast milk.

"And that's why he's calling you?" he asked confused, a smile on his face when his daughter looked at him. "I swear she's giving me that 'haha look here daddy...I know you want some as well' look."

"You're an idiot," she said giggling, turning slightly so that she could face him properly. "He was wondering how long women can go without sex. He's desperate."

"And you think you're the best person to answer that question? You horny bitch," he teased, shrieking when she swatted his chest. "Hey, what? It's the truth though."

"It's not funny. He really likes her and wants to be with her...in THAT way," she explained, rolling her eyes when Roman held his chest in pain – playfully of course.

"I want to be with you in THAT way as well again," he said seductively, moving closer so that he could nibble on her earlobe.

"Stop it, Roman. Leni is watching you," she chastised, giggling when they both looked down at their daughter who was intently staring at her parents.

"She's too young for porn, you're right," he said before standing up again, placing a soft kiss on his wife's forehead before leaning down to do the same to his little girl. "I can wait until tonight."

And with that he left the room, a mischievous smirk on his face.

...

It was around 8pm when Seth finally made his way over to Maxine's room, cursed with a bad temper. He honestly didn't want to see her. Not after that lame message he had received earlier that day. But in the end he needed that damn shirt.

He knocked once, then twice, impatiently waiting for her to finally open the door. But when she eventually did, he was more than just a little surprised.

"Hey...there you are..." she said softly, looking at him with a shy smile on her face. "Come in."

She looked gorgeous, no, she looked unbelievably sexy. She was dressed only in a black silk robe, her feet bare, her hair loose, reaching her waist.

"I...I'm only here to pick up my shirt. I...uhm...have to leave again," he stuttered, shamelessly checking her out, looking her up and down.

"Just for a minute?" she pleaded, opening the door wider, the sounds of soft music playing in the background now invading his ears.

He only shrugged his shoulders, entering the room, closing the door and raising an eyebrow when he noticed what was in front of him. Rose petals all over the floor and bed, the room only dimly-lit, champagne on the cupboard next to the small couch.

"What is this all about, Maxi?" he asked almost breathlessly, looking around in awe and only stopping when his eyes met hers again.

"What does it look like?" she asked, making her way over to him until she was right in front of him, her arms almost automatically wrapping themselves around his neck. "I'm trying to seduce my boyfriend."

It had taken her a lot of effort to do all of this. She could only imagine how mad he must have been after reading her text message that afternoon. Not only that, but the fact that she planned all of this...the rose petals, the romantic atmosphere. She actually wasn't the kind of person to seduce others. She was rather shy when it came to something like this, especially if she hadn't been with her partner for the first time yet.

"You shouldn't," he whispered, placing his hands on her hips, pulling her close. "That's my job."

This must have been the first time in his whole life that a woman had ever done anything like that for him. It had always been him who had made things special for his girlfriends. Although it felt amazing to be on the receiving end this time, he also felt guilty for not surprising her with something like this.

"Hush baby...it doesn't matter. It only matters that you're here with me now," she said quietly, her voice almost a whisper. "I know this normally isn't our kind of music, but I wasn't in the mood for Parkway Drive while having sex with you for the first time."

Seth couldn't help but chuckle, knowing that she was a girly girl after all. They wanted it romantic and even cheesy sometimes. And he would give her anything she wanted and needed.

He bent down slightly to place his lips onto hers, kissing her softly. He tentatively tasted her with his tongue, and Maxine opened her mouth with a low moan. The moment their tongues touched for the first time felt like fireworks firing up in their bodies.

Her hands immediately slid under his shirt, feeling up his abs and lightly scratching them with her nails which made him moan quietly.

She moved her hands back down after a few moments, taking his shirt by the hem and pulling it up slightly, silently asking him to get out of it. He grinned and did as requested, showing off his muscular chest and making Maxine want to touch each and every inch of it. She swallowed hard, moved even closer to him and used her fingertips to trace his clearly visible abs once again.

Seth freed her neck from her long auburn-coloured hair by pushing it aside, touching her soft spot with his lips. She breathed in sharply as soon as he did and closed her eyes in pleasure.

She opened them again a brief moment later and slowly moved her hands down, stopping at the belt of his skinny jeans. It took her a few moments to unbuckle it as Seth was driving her insane with his tongue that was slowly licking its way up to her ear. Hearing him breathing heavily so close to her it was turning her on all the more.

After finally being able to unzip his jeans, she roughly pulled at them to make him understand that she wanted him to take them off. He took her hands and placed them on his hips, helping her push his jeans down a little only to let her carry on herself, throwing them to the floor impatiently and then resting her hands on his behind. Even through the thin fabric of his boxers, she could feel how well-toned and firm it was. She didn't lie when she said loved his ass.

She was becoming even more nervous now by seeing his hard erection through his boxers, making her shiver. She wanted that man so badly and she knew he wanted her just as much.

"Don't you think you're wearing a little bit too much?" he asked hoarsely, grabbing her robe and trying to untie it, but she wouldn't let him.

"Do you think you're ready for this?" she panted, taking both ends of the silky belt into her hands, opening it very slowly.

"I've never been more ready before," he said, licking his suddenly very dry lips.

He took a step back, giving her enough space to open the robe. Her eyes were never leaving his, and if he didn't know it any better, he would say that she was beyond nervous.

He held his breath the moment she let the robe fall to the ground, his hard erection throbbing in his boxer briefs even more now. There she was, naked, in all her glory. And she looked so damn beautiful.

"Baby...you...you are...wow," he stuttered, eyeballing her over and over again. She was definitely the sexiest woman he had ever laid eyes on, that was for sure.

Needless to say that his compliment made her blush. It wasn't easy exposing herself to him like that, but knowing that he approved warmed her heart.

She watched him as he made his way back to her, but he didn't stop in front of her, no, he circled her, like she was his prey.

He stopped when he was standing behind her, closing the distance between them and pressing his body against hers.

His hands immediately found her breasts, cupping and softly kneading them, the palms of his hands tracing her nipples once in a while, making them hard.

Seth knew exactly what she wanted when she moved her hands behind herself, hastily pulling at his boxers which he then took off quickly, pressing himself against her again soon afterwards. His left hand cupped her breast once again while the other one slowly moved down over her stomach to end up in between her legs. He gently rubbed her clitoris with his finger, immediately making her tense up so that she had to stop breathing for a split second. After waiting for so long, this simple movement made her all shaky. She was so sensitive to his touch.

He kept rubbing her clit for a few more moments, but what he really wanted to see was if she was ready for him already. His finger slowly moved further down until finally he felt the wetness in between her legs. She was dripping wet for him, making him even harder.

He slowly and gently pushed one finger inside of her, another one following soon after. He swallowed hard when she moved her hips against the movement of his fingers and was surprised that she put her hand on top of his, both of them kneading her breast which fit perfectly into his left hand.

While pleasuring her with his fingers, he started rubbing her clit with his thumb furiously, but stopped after a few more minutes when she started shaking slightly. He didn't want her to cum yet. He wasn't done with her. Not at all.

They gently let go of each other and Maxine turned around to look into his eyes. Her gaze was shrouded and full of lust, a silent sign to let him know how much she longed for him.

She gently wrapped her hand around Seth's shaft and very slowly started stroking him, pressing her lips onto his and engulfing him in a heated kiss. His erection was throbbing and he was sure that he couldn't wait much longer if she kept doing this. She increased the pace and intensity, making him moan out loud and therefore breaking the kiss.

She let go of him and carefully got down on her knees where she took him into her hand again, keeping the eye-contact when she put her lips around his shaft, inch by inch taking him into her mouth.

He was about to close his eyes in pleasure but tried hard not to. He wanted to watch her sucking him off with her light green eyes staring into his. He gently placed his hand on the top of her head and moved his hips while chewing on his bottom lip. The way her tongue circled his hard cock made him forget how to speak English for a moment. With her hand, she supported her movements and was pleased to see that he seemed to enjoy himself.

"Angel, you need to stop or I'm gonna cum," he said after just a short while, completely out of breath, his lips parted slightly.

She teasingly licked the tip of his cock once again before standing up and pressing her chest against his with an innocent look on her face, smiling at him mischievously.

He all of a sudden picked her up and made his way over to the queen size bed, gently laying her down so that she was on her back, her yelp making him chuckle.

He pecked her lips quickly and started moving down while tracing her body with his tongue. He started at her sensitive neck, down to her breasts, kneading them and sucking and nibbling her nipples before circling her bellybutton and eventually spreading her legs so that he could lie in between them. Her legs were to the left and right next to his head while his tongue slowly disappeared in between them.

Maxine was impatiently awaiting his touch, but he kept teasing her a little by kissing her inner thighs, breathing heavily. She literally pleaded him with her eyes to finally start and soon even he wasn't able to resist anymore.

He started at her wet opening, very slowly licking his way up, spreading her lips with his fingers and sucking on her clit gently. She couldn't help but scream out loud and roll her eyes into the back of her head. Seth let go off her clit with a wet pop and licked it at a very slow pace at the beginning. The tip of his tongue touched the little bundle of nerves which made her arch her back in pleasure. He sped up slowly afterwards, at the same time entering her wet opening with two of his fingers. Maxine was about to faint. She didn't know how much longer she could take it. He took turns between licking her clit and sucking on it, all the while fucking her with his fingers.

"Seth, please...," she started, but trailed off. He immediately stopped, not giving in just yet. They both were so close, but he didn't want it to end like that. He wanted to be inside of her. Feel her. For the very first time.

He moved cautiously so that he was eye-level with her again, still lying in between her legs, his chest pressed against hers. He licked his lips which were now wet with her juices, making her swallow hard.

"I finally want to feel you, Seth," she said hoarsely, pushing her hips towards him. "Please don't make me wait anymore. I'm about to explode."

"What about condoms?" he panted, pecking her lips over and over again.

"I'm on the pill," she mumbled in between kisses, trusting that he was clean.

Maybe it was stupid of him to go for it, doing this without protection, but she wasn't just some slut he picked up after a show. She was his girlfriend, the love of his life.

He took a deep breath and positioned himself close to her slick folds, gently and very slowly sliding inside of her wet opening, a moan escaping his lips. He stayed still for a few moments when he was fully embedded in her, cherishing the feeling to the fullest.

Maxine closed her eyes in pleasure. He felt even better than she could have ever imagined. She was in paradise.

He started moving slowly, letting her get used to his size. Being inside of her was heavenly. He had never felt any better than in this very moment.

She put her arms around his neck, pulling him close to her, kissing him feverishly. She wanted him as close as possible, the feelings deep inside of her overwhelming her completely. She loved this man so much.

He met the movements of her hips with his thrusts which were still agonizingly slow. He wanted to make love to her and he would do just that. He knew she needed to feel his hot skin on hers; she wanted to feel the connection between them. This was intense and very meaningful to both of them.

After endless minutes of moving in a steady rhythm, their bodies were covered in sweat. He was surprised that he was still able to hold back, but he enjoyed this way too much to end it just yet. All this time they never broke the eye-contact, they kept staring into each other's eyes, not saying a word. No words had to be spoken anyways. They let their actions speak this time.

He suddenly felt her tense up underneath him, the grip of her hands which were now grabbing his biceps tightening more and more. She was close. He could feel and see it. He dug his nails into the skin of her hips, pushing her down firmly while thrusting up into her slick folds repeatedly.

"Are you cumming for me, babe?" he asked through gritted teeth, his voice almost a whisper.

She had her eyes closed now, not able to form a coherent sentence. She was overwhelmed by all those feelings and sensations she was experiencing. She just nodded her head before opening her eyes once again, meeting his immediately. She licked her bottom lip, knowing that this would probably drive him crazy.

And it certainly did. Knowing that she was about to cum and looking at her licking and biting her lips made him lose his mind. He once again sped up a little bit. He knew she needed this release just as much as he did. He wanted them to cum together. He wanted to reach that peak with her as a unit. He could feel her walls tightening around his cock, her moans loader than they had ever been before. He pulled her close to his body, wanting to feel her soft skin pressed against his.

Both of her hands were buried in his hair now, his head resting on her shoulder, placing kisses all over it.

"Seth...," she groaned, her whole body starting to shiver. "Oh God...I'm cumming, baby."

Hearing her scream his name and clinging to his body was all he needed to reach his own climax as well. His whole body started shaking and he moaned out loud, emptying himself deep inside of her, his seed mixing with her juices. He could feel how she was still milking him, extending his orgasm for a few more moments.

As soon as they came down from their highs, they collapsed into each other's arms. They were trying to catch their breaths, not wanting to let go of one another.

Maxine caressed the back of his head while trying to calm down after the orgasm she had just experienced. An orgasm so intense and explosive, probably the best she'd ever had. And why? Because it was the man she loved with her all her heart that made her reach that peak.

He propped himself up, looking deep into her eyes again before smiling and placing a sweet kiss on her lips.

Gently sliding out of her, he laid down next to her with her immediately moving closer to him so that she could rest her head on his chest.

There was a comfortable silence between them, the soft music still playing in the background quietly, making the atmosphere even more romantic.

"We completely forgot about the champagne," she whispered, giggling like a little school girl, kissing his chest softly.

"I don't care. You were tastier than anything else anyways," he replied, making her blush with his suggestive statement.

She moved slightly so that she could look up at him, her chin resting on both of her hands which were folded across his broad chest. "That was wonderful, Seth. Thank you."

He looked at her dumbfounded, slightly shaking his head with a small smile on his face. "I have to thank you. Nobody has ever done anything like this for me."

He leaned down a little so that he could capture her lips, kissing her lovingly, putting all of his feelings into it.

"I love you, angel. With all I have," he whispered, placing a sweet kiss on her forehead.

"And I love you...my little ninja," she teased, giggling when he raised an eyebrow at her.

Was this finally his happily ever after...?
