"I don't know how you can listen to this on a constant basis" I heard her as I bobbed my head back and forth, tapping on the steering wheel as the sounds filled the car.

"I'd say the same about your terrible singing but I'm sure that would make me a bad boyfriend" I shrugged feeling her glare on me which caused me to briefly stare over at her.

"I'll have you know I sound better than Nikki"

I rolled my eyes trying to seem annoyed when I wasn't, "Well its not like I'll be listening to her. I don't mind your singing, it drives me to sleep."

"And this is why you still have not gotten to fuck me, Corbin!"

"Here I thought its because you were afraid that's all I wanted from you"

"I was? I'm pretty sure its my never ending talking, my terrible singing you to sleep, my teeth that mark you, my loud laughter, the fact that you can deadlift me."

"Because that's all a guy like me wants in his life" I narrowed my eyes as she rambled on not even hearing me.

"The fact that I allow you to be jealous over every single guy I associate with and be mean to them. The fact that I..."

I squeezed her thigh which caused her to jump and stare at me and I gave her a quick kiss before driving on. "When you told me you wanted the whole rough thing, why? Why ask for it if you were going to fall for me. "

She sighed a bit before slowing tapping her fingers to the sound she had complained about,"I didn't think I would. I've managed to not even fall for anyone I talk to, hang out with, I didn't think I would especially with you being so closed off. I think its just you, Corbin. I don't think I would have fallen for anyone else, maybe deep down I've always had my eye on you"

"Yeah now that's a lie and we both know it." I chuckled.

"You were always there" She shrugged seeming to think about it.

"I was... I guess it doesn't matter. I'm stuck with you now" I sighed.

"At least try to sound happy about it.." I felt her shove my shoulder and chuckled.

"Let me fuck you and I'll show you."

She simply shook her head and stared out. I frowned and realized she had taken my tone seriously. I figured bringing her out to my house would let her know that I wanted her no matter what. But there was a reason she didn't want us to sleep together...

"You're overthinking it, its always been just a thing to do between us and now it means more. But it shouldn't because deep down we both know it always meant more, it was never just fucking. If it was, I'd have been fucking random women on the roster or actually have endless brunettes and you would have the arrangement with someone else. The moment that one time shit came up it meant something whether we wanted it to or not" I sighed gripping the steering wheel tighter feeling her eyes on me but she remained quiet and placed a kiss on the back of my hand.

I smiled a bit and my terrible music filled my car when I wouldn't let her know, this one reminded me of her effect on me. The words were drowned out by the instruments.

"Anything is what she is
Anywhere is where she's from
Anything is what she'll be
Anything as long as it's mine "

"You know with everything that has happened I just realized my best friend doesn't know." I blurted out as I closed the car door before we moved up the driveway.

"Yeah standing outside his house should remind you of that" She rolled her eyes with a small smile wanting to get under my skin.

"Don't get smart with me honey"

"Or what?"

"You haven't had me inside you in awhile, and when I eventually get permission I might not be as nice as I was the first time." I teased ruffling her hair which didn't have the same effect as it had when shorter but still annoyed her.

"The first time? You were so demanding." She groaned hitting my hand away which led to me wrapping my arm over her shoulder and pulling her into my chest.

"You liked it though"

"I did" She bit her lip as her cheeks turned red.

"Renee."

"Yeah?" She glanced up and I bent down and immediately kissed her but stopped as I heard the barking become louder.

I smiled as I saw Corey's wife, Amy, and she smiled as well frowning slightly between us before pulling Renee into a hug and I gave her a side one.

Xander soon made himself known making me chuckle as I bent down and pet him.

"Ney Ney" I heard echo in the house.

"Hey Angel!" She gushed as Corey's daughter was soon in her arms while I shook my head, happy I didn't have to deal with that chatterbox.

I felt Amy's eyes on me as she busied herself in the kitchen, knowing Renee she wouldn't want to leave immediately and it seemed she was dragged to the kids room.

"Does Corey know?" I heard her.

"Know what?"

"About you two" She whispered as Renee resurfaced and sat on the couch laughing at some story she was being told.

My eyes left her and felt Amy's eyes on me realizing I had been smiling hearing her loud laugh, " what?"

"Oh my word you're sleeping with her aren't you?"

"What?" I scoffed.

"Oh my word you're like a fucking tomato"

"Shut up" I snapped, "and Corey doesn't know because there is nothing to know"

"Baron, she's complicated and I don't think you can handle that for your first relationship since your dad. You need to take things easy..."

"How big is your house to accompany him" She questioned approaching with Xander following.

"We're 15minutes away from finding out, nice seeing you Amy and you" I narrowed my eyes at the little blonde head before Renee set her down. She giggled but ran up to me hugging the side of my leg causing Renee to awww while I rolled my eyes.

I heard the door close behind us and as I made my way down the step I felt a weight on my back and sighed as my hands gripped her thighs for the short walk down the drive way. I felt her kiss into my neck and immediately set her down and opened the back seat for Xander.

"You're awfully red, Corbin" She smiled as she leaned against the car.

"Don't."

"Its flattering that I have that effect on you." She added once I hopped in.

"Its cute, Baron" I felt her hand in my lap and she leaned forward to most likely kiss me but was stopped by Xander poking his head between us. "No need to be jealous, I love you too buddy"

I smiled and placed my hand over hers before pulling out of their driveway while she hummed to the music she had been complaining about before.

"I'm never sure how to dress" I whined staring over my luggage briefly before focusing on his brown eyes.

"I told you its a date" He sighed as he stood in his Calvins and I tried to focus on his face and not my burning desire.

"I know, which magnifies my indecisiveness." I shrugged slipping on my dress before hugging Xander who had captured my heart in the two occasions I had met him.

"I can see how he drags your ass out of a burning building and leaves me behind." He shook his head before buttoning up his jeans.

"Here I thought I'd be tossed over your shoulders!" I folded my arms moving to my feet.

"Depends on my mood that day" he said monotone which led to me pushing against his chest and attempting to leave his room but felt his arm around me before I was tossed onto the bed with him on top. Not only did I feel like a kid when standing beside him, him showing his strength always ended up in my tossed in a pool, up against a wall, over his shoulder or onto his bed.

"I'll always save you, Blondie" he leaned to kiss me but was met with Xander licking his face and I quickly moved from underneath him.

"Seriously?" He shook his head running his hand over his face and narrowing his eyes at his furry best friend.

I giggled as I left the room and vaguely stared around the area. It was quite spacious and I understood why, Xander was quite a big dog. I felt an arm around my waist before the force moved grabbing his keys along the way.

"I love how you try to dominate me" I huffed holding onto his arm.

"By lifting you up?"

"I can walk" I pointed out attempting to look back at him.

He shrugged and set me down before moving over to the car and I realized how he had dressed which ended up in me dressing the same.

"You're taking me to a fancy restaurant?"

"You like them, don't you?" He frowned a bit wearing a suit which he hated.

"I don't need them, Baron. Take me somewhere you like.." I smiled and he stared at me for a bit before shaking his head.

"You don't like my music"

"Anywhere.."

He sighed, "put on some pants then"

I frowned but did just that and walked out of the house seeing him now on his motorcycle and realized why he had requested it. "Only if you're comfortable"

"Oh my word, of course!" I giggled which caused him to chuckle a bit before I joined him.

I held on tightly to him, closing my eyes as the last week had been a blur, it was Wrestlemania week but I managed to get off and Dean was doing most of the promoting for their match. We'd have to fly out on Friday which reminded me about the Hall of Fame Awards. I didn't recall seeing Baron there last year and wasn't sure if that was his thing. Either way it didn't matter considering I was on the floor interviewing people so we wouldn't really get to be partners.

I let my hands move beneath Baron's tee cause being on the back wasn't exactly the most cosy thing and smiled at the feeling of his warm skin. I felt the bike stop briefly but due to a traffic light and he peeked over his shoulder.

"For a second there I thought you were trying something" He smirked.

"Oh it crossed my mind but wouldn't want anything to happen to us before we got to consummate our relationship."

He nodded before driving again causing silence to fall as the adrenaline ran through me.

"We're here" I heard him and smiled at the fading view of the sunset.

"You weren't expecting this were you?" He smirked seeming proud of himself, taking off his hoodie he had changed to instead of the suit jacket.

"Taking me to see the sunset at the top of a hill, no. But maybe its a full moon tonight?"

He nodded slyly as he sat down and pulled me between his legs. I smiled as I rested my head back on his chest and held onto his arms.

"So is this one of those times where I'm the first woman to get onto your bike and I should feel special?" I mumbled into his arm as I played with his large hands draped with various skull rings.

"Well no." He burst my bubble but then let out a small laugh. "My mom called me up stranded once, it was a few weeks after I bought it. I had no car because I usually had a rental if I was in town so she was forced to hop on. The most annoying fifteen minutes of my life"

I laughed out knowing how he wasn't the most patient son, "I miss your mom. She reminds me that you aren't so bad after all."

"How is that if I can't even hold a conversation with her without getting annoyed." He whispered.

"That's because she asks things because she's trying but its things that you believe are obvious to the world."

"Yeah like you telling her I had friends besides Corey"

"But you do, isn't that what you pointed out to me? Anyway she's concerned about you and you're a typical guy believing he doesn't need it. Your mom's cute though.."

"Just say you want to meet my mom as my girlfriend and shut up about it" He groaned causing me to elbow him.

"Maybe we should wait till its more serious" I smiled hoping he caught the amusement.

"Yeah since we're abstaining till marriage and all"

"Keep being a hormonal teenager and I might just let you wait longer" I giggled knowing he didn't mind considering his whole sweet speech back in the car this afternoon. It seemed whenever I was doubting he was somehow there to help even me out. In his own wolf way...

"You're worth the wait." He responded as if to add on to my sweet thoughts about him.

"And the award for the cheesiest line goes to..Ouch!" I groaned as he bit harshly into my neck but soon sucked on my skin. I smiled as his arms tightened around me as he continued to suck over my skin knowing I would have to make sure I covered up for Mania weekend.

"Bar..." His mouth left my neck and I turned to straddle his lap and immediately kissed him feeling his hands move up my jeans, pulling me tightly against him.

I moved slightly but felt him bite my tongue and I glared at him, "what the hell, Corbin"

"I'm not fucking exploding in my pants because of you again, Blondie"

"But I can feel you" I giggled kissing his lips and rocking onto his lap harder but he gripped my hips.

"I'm supposed to take control, dominate you but you fucking make me hard so easily and feeling you up against me." He whispered shaking his head and I stopped frowning slightly not even sure if he could see it but I kissed him and turned back to my previous position.

Supposed to dominate me? Did he not want to?

"How did I not notice?" I heard him behind me preventing me from reading too much into it.

"Notice what?"

"When you weren't okay. I mean I was there, you stayed at Corey's house so I'm sure I saw you."

I smiled and kissed his arms, while being draped in the hoodie and beneath a full moon.

"The same way you've been on the roster for over a year and we're only together now. We're too oblivious but I'm happy you don't remember that mess. I've been trying so hard to erase her, and then I see him and I get all nervous. And not in a good way because there are no feelings lost there I just feel anxiety that someone might see us together and then the rumour mill starts again. It already has..."

"Because of me"

"Yeah. I have a new man in my life so of course the past has to be brought up. It doesn't hurt as much as I anticipated I actually care less or maybe I'm just done trying. Adapted some of your traits, I still smile with everyone but I know they're waiting to see what will happen between us."

"Fuck them!" He shouted out making me giggle. "Would you like to accompany me to the Hall of Fame awards and shove it in their faces?"

My smile brightened at his rushed words when that had been playing on my mind. "I would love to..."

"But?" He sighed.

"I have to work. I'll see you there though.." I added hoping it wouldn't cause him to be upset when I couldn't believe he had actually brought it up.

"I'll just stay by your side then. Your bodyguard"

I nodded in agreement, "My bodyguard"
