The last two weeks had been busy for them, first they went to California and then there was Extreme Rules and the Shield had soundly defeated Evolution.

"Raven come here?", Seth asked. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the hotel room they were staying in. When they had returned to work they decided they would share a room, they didn't want to be apart anymore. The Raven dragged herself to where Seth was and sat on his lap with her arm around his shoulders.

"Seth I don't want to argue about this anymore.", she said with a sigh.

"Then stop arguing and just come with me. Raven I met your family, I want you to meet mine.", he whined.

"Yeah and look how well that went, I just don't want anymore drama.", The Raven knew she was being a coward, she was a afraid of his family not liking her. She didn't know how she would handle it.

"Look, we will be checking out locations for my school, which I would really like your input. Also, we will be staying at my house so its not like we will be spending all of our time with them.", he said trying to persuade her.

"You have a house?", she asked curiously. He never mentioned owning a house before.

"Yes but it is not furnished, I mean I have a bed but that is about all. Also, I don't want to be 3 whole days without you.", he said as he kissed and nibbled her on the neck. No, she did not want to be without him either. She leaned her head back to give him better access. He started to lowered his head and kiss her chest then her exposed cleavage. "Mmmm, I think I need more convincing.", she playfully said. Suddenly, she inhaled sharply as he began to lick and bite the exposed flesh of her cleavage.

Seth lifted them off the sofa and placed her on her feet and began to remove her shirt and walked her backwards toward the bed. When the back of her legs hit the bed she grabbed at the front of his jeans and started to undo the button and zipper. Once they were both naked, The Raven latched herself onto Seth as he fell back onto the bed. She loved to feel his hard body against hers and rub her bare chest against his. She leaned down to kiss him but her hair was getting in the way so he grabbed it and pulled it away from her face at the same time bring her lips closer to his. He gave her a slow passionate kiss, which quickly escalated, with his hand still in her hair he pulled her lips off his. She groaned in protest.

"So are you coming?", he asked.

"I don't know yet.", she purred.

Seth grabbed her by the hips and tossed her to the side and started to get off the bed. The Raven was surprised by his action and at how angry he was. She reached out and grabbed him by his bicep.

"Ok. I am sorry I will go with you!" He could hear the distress in her voice and he started to laugh. "Arrhhh Seth Rollins you are just messing with me.", she said in a aggravated voice as she lightheartedly hit him on the back. He turned around and lunged at her and covered her body with his. "Yes I did, you tease. I was tired of you leaving me in suspense.", he laughingly said. He started to kiss her again but on the cheek then the earlobe to her neck as The Raven softly ran her nails up and down his back.

"Seth?"

"Mmm"

"What if they don't like me?"

He could hear the anxiety in her voice and stopped what he was doing to gaze at her. He could see the apprehension in her eyes as she stared back, he could understand her feelings considering what happened with her family and when she first met Roman and Dean. He pecked her on the lips. "Don't worry Raven, they will like you." He reassured her.

"What if they don't? I mean how do you know?"

"Because, I like you and that is all that matters. Trust me everything will be fine.", he said confidently. All thoughts of his family left her mind as she felt his hot lips and tongue on her breast. He suckled one nipple at a time,slowly. His slow pace was driving her crazy. His deliberate gentle movements were nice but she wanted to feel the strength, he often exhibited during their workouts or how he was during their first time.

However, he really had her moaning when he spread her legs and she felt his lips on her clitoris. He started to gently pump her first with one and then two fingers. She needed, she wanted him to go faster. "Seth, please.", she begged.

Seth took this that she was ready for him so he reach for a condom and pulled away to quickly put it on. When he return to her he kissed her and slowly entered her not wanting to cause her pain. He was determine to be gentle with her even though his urgency and need to be in her was powerful. He had seen the bruises, he had left on her body after their first time together and he was determine not to hurt her like that again. He often remembered Danielle complaining about the bruises he left on her body during their love making. However, it was hard with the way The Raven was acting. She was rocking her hips faster against him and she grabbed him by his ass cheeks making him move quicker.

So, he started to move faster within her, he could feel his body starting to tingle which was the beginning of his orgasm. He wanted her to be there with him so he reached down between then and started to rub her clitoris, as he continued to thrust deep within her. He could feel her writhe and moan beneath him. Seth's gentleness sometimes made her impatient but he always knew how to work her body, she thought.

He lean down to try and kiss her but it was his hair that got in the way this time. The arm she had wrapped around his neck she used the hand to grab his soft curly hair and pull it behind his neck. He was finally able to kiss her. They fought for dominance over the kiss until he ended the battle by forcing her mouth open with a hard thrust that hit her sweet spot. He swirled his tough in her mouth tasting and feeling her. She moaned into the kiss as he continued to pump within her. He started to feel her walls tighten around his dick.

"Oh Seth", she moaned as she felt an intense feeling of pleasure rush over her. She clinged to him as she reached her climax. Seth felt his own coming and wanted to prolong it but her walls were clutching tight around him. He gave in and felt his cum shoot into the condom. He thrust within her a couple of more times riding out their orgasms.

When he was done, he lowered his body on her and rest his cheek on one of her breast. She loved feeling Seth's weight on her, it made her feel secure and protected. She intertwined her legs around his and ran her fingers through his damp hair. When their breathing finally became normal, Seth was the one to break the silence. "I could stay like this forever?" He was still buried deep within her and he loved how her fingers played with his hair. He then looked at her and what she saw in his big brown eyes frighten her. She didn't want to think about what it meant so she brought him in closer for a kiss.

Afterwards, he pulled out of her and got off the bed to go clean off in the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror, "Your an idiot Rollins", he whispered to himself. He almost told The Raven that he loved her and would have if she had not kissed him. It was still too soon in their relationship to say things like that, he had made that mistake with Danielle and Elizabeth. He couldn't help himself though, it felt good to be held by her and the way she lovingly caressed and touched him, but no he was determined not to follow the same pattern.

When he return to the bed she appeared to be asleep on her side with her back to him. He crawled back into the bed and pulled her into his arms in a spoon position.

The Raven was not ready to talk about her feelings or even close to saying those three little words she knew he would expect soon. She pretended to be asleep and felt him pull her closer to him and drifted to sleep with him.

The Raven was fidgeting nervously with the buttons on her jacket as she stood beside Seth waiting at the arrival platform for his brother to pick them at the airport. Seth looked at her and could see how nervous she was, he reached out and grabbed her hand, interlacing their fingers together. She didn't know what is was about holding Seth's hand but his contact always made her feel calmer. She gave him a weak smile and he leaned down and pecked her on the lips.

"Stop worrying. Everything is going to be ok."

A few minutes later.

"Colby, Colby over here."

Seth turned to see Paul waving at him. He released The Raven's hand and went to greet his brother. They embraced and clapped each other on the back. "Its good to see you little brother. 5 months is too long.", Paul said sincerely.

"Yes, it is. How are you?", Seth hugged his brother again. He really had missed Paul, he had to try to come home more often. "Come there is someone I want you to meet."

The Raven watched the interaction between the two brothers. They were genuinely happy to see each other. She started to play nervously with her buttons again as Seth and his brother approached her. Paul was a foot shorter than Seth. His body was not as well built as Seth's. Paul had the same skin, eye and hair color. His hair was cut very short and he did not have a beard. A person could see the similarities they shared and that they were definitely brothers.

"Paul I would like you to meet The Raven, she is my girlfriend. Raven this is Paul, my brother."

The Raven smiled and held her hand out but Paul gave her a big hug instead, she return his hug. "Its finally nice to meet you. Your as beautiful as he says you are.", Paul said cheerfully.

"Thank you. Its nice to meet you too." The Raven blushed at his compliment.

"Hey, hey she is my girlfriend remember." Seth teasingly said as he put an arm around her shoulders.

"I am glad you will be spending more time around here. I mean once you open your school.", Paul excitedly said. He was driving them to Seth's house, so they could settle in and come over for dinner later at their mom's place.

"I know I am to, I am sorry I haven't been around much.", Seth replied.

"Its ok. I mean after what happened with Danielle I can -", Paul stopped, he realized what he was saying, he looked in the rearview at The Raven, as if scared he had offended her.

She smiled back at him. "Its ok. I know about Danielle. I don't have a problem unless of course she plans on hitting on Seth, then we will have an issue.", she said good naturedly.

"Like that's going to happen.", Seth laughed.

Paul felt uncomfortable and changed the subject. "Prepared to be bored to death, Teresa and Roger will be at mom's for dinner. All she does is talk about her wedding, which is in about two more months. Man, I can't wait for her to be married already."

"It can't be as bad as all that.", Seth replied.

"Believe me it is. Do me a favor and don't ask her about the wedding or you will get her started and she will never shut up." When they finally reached Seth's house Paul said, "Ok home sweet home." He drove into the semi circle that was Seth's driveway and parked.

It was a 2 story house built with dark brick except for the entrance which was beige. It was an elegant looking house with a gray roof top and huge yard. Once Paul was done helping Seth unload the luggage, he gave Seth the key to the house and to the car in the garage.

"Well, I hate to run but I have to pick up Emily from work, that's my girlfriend." He gave The Raven a quick peck on the cheek and hugged Seth, then went to his car. "But I will see you in a couple hours at mom's and don't be late she has been cooking up storm since this morning.", he said as he started up his car and waved good-bye.

They grabbed their luggage and went into the house. "You weren't kidding, you really don't have any furniture. What happened did you spend all your money on buying the place?". The walls were white and bare. The floors were dark wood as well as the staircase that led upstairs. There were a couple of lamps and the only other decorations were the shutters that covered the windows.

Seth chuckled, "Raven, housing out here is a lot cheaper than California. I bet your family's house cost 5 times more than this one."

"True."

"I have just been too busy to decorate it."

"How long have you had it?", she asked curiously.

Seth hesitated, "About five years."

"Five years! And you still haven't decorated it." Her surprise showing on her face. Seth looked away from her. "Ok what is it?"

"What?", he asked defensively. He didn't want to tell her, he didn't want her to get upset and leave.

"What are you holding back? You might as well tell me, I will find out sooner or later and I would rather hear it from you.", she asked intriguingly. She kinda had an idea but she wanted to hear it from Seth.

God was he that obvious, damn it. "I huh I bought the house for Danielle."

"I see." She figured that was the case.

She didn't appear to be mad, so he continued, "I had been saving money to buy a house, so that Danielle and I could get married, however, as you know that never happened. The house was in escrow when we broke up. I was going to surprise her, so she never knew about the house or even saw it. I was going to sale it but I really do like it. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms." He paused and looked at The Raven, she said nothing. "Maybe this was a bad idea, if you don't feel comfortable we can stay at a hotel."

The Raven giggled and hugged Seth and he hugged her back. "Did you really think I was going to be mad?"

'Huh well yes.", he was relieved that she wasn't.

The Raven kept her arms around Seth and looked up at him. "Well I am not but you really need to decorate this place."

"I am not much for decorating. Why don't you do it? Since, you will be spending a lot of time here with me.", he said a matter a factly.

"I would love to decorate it for you.", she said excitedly.

He grinned at her. "Good then its settled, you will decorate it for me.", he said as he lifted her off her feet and started to carry her upstairs.

"Where are we going?"

"To break in the bed, we have a couple of hours before we have to be at my mom's." He leaned in to kiss her as he walked down the hallway to his bedroom.
