"Its not the future you are afraid of.
Its the fear of the past repeating itself

that haunts you."

"Baron!" I giggled between kisses as he pushed me up against the wall while his hand was close to slipping into my bikini bottoms.

"What? You're going to get wet anyway?" He pushed his body against mine forcefully allowing me to feel him.

"We still have to walk down the lobby.." I reasoned as his fingers slipped in but knew it immediately slipped as it did.

"I know.." He groaned as he slipped two fingers into me before kissing me. I moaned into his lips as he picked up his pace pulling my body down with his other arm that held me tightly. He honestly made me feel like a rag doll sometimes with his strength.

"Baron..." I moaned into his lips.

"Louder, honey" he bit my lip before kissing into my neck but became frustrated because I could feel him pushing his bulge against me. I stared at the hotel bed behind us wanting to tell him to take me then and there but for some reason it just didn't sound appealing.

"YES!" I breath digging my nails into his back while he gripped my thighs grinding himself against me.

"Fuck." He snapped as he pushed hard against me. I felt his heavy breathing in my neck thinking we should have done this in the shower ten minutes ago.

I held onto him which caused him to move back and walk us into the bathroom allowing the shower to go.

I felt the water on my back as I stepped in before feeling it disappear as he blocked it and held me from behind surprising me by the gesture.

"Second time" he whispered into my ear while I wasn't sure what he meant and he didn't elaborate either simply kissed into my neck before turning me so the water could flow over both of us.

"I..." He raised his eyebrow as I cut myself off.

I shook my head and kissed him briefly before turning towards the water source.

◆◆◆

"You always laugh how am I suppose to know when you're really mad at me" He rolled his eyes seeming annoyed but I knew he wasn't. We had gotten the day off as soon as we reached the city and 'we' meant I was free as well. I did have some business but I managed to shift them when I knew he had an appearance later in the week.

While Baron wouldn't out right tell me he was annoyed that I tended to be busy I knew his outburst last week was him assuming I had spent the rest of the day with John. While I wouldn't correct him because well, I didn't want him thinking he could be that guy forbidding me from things I did want him to know I preferred his minimal company.

"You're not, that's the point" I narrowed my eyes which led to him kicking some water in my direction causing me to laugh out as he sat poolside while I needed to become one with the water.

"Is this why you always keep your shorts on in bed?" I whispered as I traced over the faces on his upper thigh as I moved closer to him.

"Yeah I mean, its personal. All of them are.." He whispered briefly glancing at his draped arm.

I smiled and pressed onto his thighs to lean up and kiss him before settling back into the pool but he wrapped his arms around me, pinning me between his legs, attempting to push his tongue past my lips but I bit it.

He glared and I frowned, "don't you like it when I bite you. 'Bite me little wolf' "

He chuckled, "Not with the thing I use to make you moan my name in the morning"

"Oh just speak out of the bedroom why don't you!"

"Technically it doesn't count. That was before this, I won't kiss and tell when you give me the pass. Which is how long? Before Mania at least? " He smirked.

"I don't know, maybe you need some extra frustration to defeat the lunatic" I shrugged as I stared down at him briefly glancing at my cleavage that looked quite good thanks to him pulling me so close. Which led to him staring directly at it, he shook his head and before I knew it I was under water as he threw me in.

"You fucking wolf" I blurted out as I resurfaced and ran my hands through my now soaking wet hair.

"Okay no reference to fucking while we aren't doing it honey" He said seriously before tugging on my hand.

"You aren't getting that either, especially after that toss."

"I didn't assume I would be. I don't think that white bikini was a good idea..." His eyes fell to my soaked bikini top, not noticing anything but I trusted his view.

"Give me your t-shirt then" I smiled but knew he wouldn't budge.

Instead I traced over his tattooed arms, "Will I be getting a place on here one day?"

"Who says you don't already. We could be the new Paige and Alberto." He said seriously causing me to actually want to search his array of tattoos but it was doubtful.

I giggled, to some extent we were as quite a few of my friends thought I was out of my mind, questioning me last week which led to me hiding out in his locker room only for an upset wolf to enter.

"I won't be going on my knees, Corbin" I stated despite admiring my little pale pixie for doing so, she was oh so in love.

"Not for that reason you mean?"

I pushed his chest and he chuckled as I moved a bit back floating in the water feeling his gaze on me.

"Do you like it?" I heard him after a bit.

"What?"

"Not being my girlfriend"

I sighed, "I am yours, we don't need labels the moment there are people want to start getting invested."

He nodded.

"I'm the one who is meant to be apprehensive here, Renee. You were mad at me for not treating you like more but yet you don't want to be more.." He said calmly and I stopped floating to stare into the brown orbs that I knew were waiting to snap. It had only been a couple weeks since he pitched up but I guess he had a point.

"I... I have been hurt before Baron and making it public allows that to happen. I'm fine just posting random things, I would want to post about my amazing boyfriend who absolutely works on my last nerves with being hot and cold and jealous and sweet and goofy. But you might not care about the fans but they do about you and I have seen how Nikki gets bashed by these women with Jon. I just, I have just come to a place where I know half the world is probably annoyed with me but these people respect me and love me and I just don't want anything to change. People hate me now for the same reason you do, used to, they think I try to be high and mighty simply because I'm happy all the time and I ..." I rambled on because I could see things drifting to how they were years before and I didn't like it.

Confirmations would lead to them intensifying, people warning me, more than Dolph's silly warnings. I didn't need to be treated like the naïve young woman. Baron was unplanned but he knew what I wanted and I knew what he wanted so I liked to believe I walked into what we had level headed for us to come to the point we were now.

"What I got from that was that I am your boyfriend but actually saying it to other people is what you don't want because you don't want to be associated with me." He shrugged glancing away from me allowing his clenched jaw to be seen by me.

I sighed because that wasn't the reason, I knew how these fangirls could get and I had gone through so much online before I made a new start. I didn't want to go back to that and end up being unhappy seeing what people had to say about us, "Baron"

"You care too much about what people think" He sighed and leaned back on his hands staring blankly at me.

"And you care too little which is okay. But you treat people like shit and then I face the repercussions." I shook my head moving into the corner as I peeked at him.

"Miz wasn't my fault. I'm not even sure why you're even friends with those fucking people. You care about what they'll have to say when you shouldn't need to have them or need their fucking approval. "

"I told you I cared if I didn't care I wouldn't have been with you for so long. I made what I wanted seem so simple but I cared even before I took a risk and confessed my stupid desires to you. If I wasn't the person that you get annoyed with we wouldn't be here, Baron. My weakness is that I want to be loved by people, I want to be admired because I have seen the disappointment."

"Well that's not my fault Renee."

He sighed and glanced past me, "your friends are here so you should go before they see you with me and believe Mike's words. Maybe you should go seduce someone else and see how they act, maybe they'll like the next one and you can advertise that. Then maybe they won't be so disappointed in your pick, find a guy who wears suits and ties. Doesn't get his hands dirty but tells guys like me what to do, that's more your type huh?"

I set my sunglasses on and sighed as I hated Baron when he was upset. He hadn't been the pissed wolf in awhile but I knew it was there and somehow I had poked the sleeping wolf.

His voice was calm and low but the night he had "punished" me roamed in my mind. Not the sex just the look, I saw it in his eyes when he got mad at me for posting a picture with Dolph and I finally knew why. He was jealous, hurt, angry and normally I would challenge him but not when it came to this, his words stung...

"Fuck you, Baron" I croaked and got out of the pool. Not bothering to look at my friends either, the last thing I needed was to get called by them and have Mr Wolf all moody again.

I sighed as I walked into the hotel lobby deciding to just go sleep but froze as he stood there with his new wife having gotten a divorce soon after us but not deeming me worthy.

I was about to turn back taking my chances with an angry wolf instead of the guy he described as my type...

"Renee!" I heard Sofia and smiled as I walked over to the happy couple folding my arms over my chest feeling self-conscious hoping Baron had exaggerated about the material.

"Hey how are you two?"

"We're good." Joe nodded briefly before heading back to talk to the front desk while Sofia stood smiling brightly at me.

"Are you okay?" She leaned forward eyeing me.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"

"You look like you were about to cry" She whispered with concern making me wonder how he managed to be with her. Or more like how she ended up being with a man like him. But love changes people I guess, he didn't love me.

I felt my cheeks and shook my head because of my Stupid wolf.

"Oh I got water splashed in my face. I was..."

"Having fun with her boyfriend."

I frowned and Joe did as well.

"Oh when did that end up happening?"

"He's not my boyfriend" I narrowed my eyes at Dolph who I guess had followed me from the pool.

"I'm her boyfriend" I heard Baron and jumped as I felt arms wrap around me before he lift me up with my back to his chest.

"Hey I'm Baron." He extended his hand sounding way too polite.

"Is he also not your boyfriend?" Joe seemed amused. How had I not realized how little he cared back then?

"Dolph is her brother and I am her boyfriend" Baron stated seeming irritated by Joe's tone.

"No he's not." Dolph shook his head.

"He.." I began but was stopped as I was turned in Baron's arms and he kissed me. I was mad at him but kissed him back because he didn't like doing it much and I knew he was trying to stick it to Dolph as well, so I let him so he could realize I didn't care.

I didn't care..

"...Is my boyfriend" I whispered into his lips, narrowing my eyes at him briefly with him smirking at my words.

"Uhm it was nice seeing you guys we have to go." I called back as Baron slowly walked back towards the elevator not bothering to do it himself.

"This position ain't too good for me after this morning Blondie?" I heard the amusement in his voice but didn't move. I didn't have a hole to crawl in but I did have my wolf to clutch to.

"I'm sorry, Renee." He mumbled into my hair and I rolled my eyes.

"You don't need to apologize for being you." I mumbled into his neck before kissing it, I'd take my snappy wolf over him any day.

"I need to apologize for hurting the people I care about." He shrugged. "Person I care about."

"You know don't you?" I mumbled into his shoulder.

"I saw the pictures in your house. He's your ex right?" The bitterness was there and gone was the politeness he showed to him before.

"You don't know" I half-hoped he had heard the whispers, but then again the whispers were always half-truths.

"Know what?" He slowly questioned.

I sighed, "we had an affair"
