"I am not flirty!" I shook my head as we walked in having actually had a good drive with the wolf. Maybe because I had my earphones in, drowning out his music for my weird taste in it, according to him.

"Yes you are" He rolled his eyes as he handed me my backpack and I waved to the crowds of fans reminding myself to come back out once I got settled while he just walked ahead.

"Well you don't count. I share a room with you, I'm not going to wear a onesie!" He stopped and turned to me.

"Its snowing and I wasn't talking about me." He grumbled.

"Mmmm I'm not blind so I can see so? Do you not agree body heat works better?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Whatever" he sighed and turned down the hallway, defeated I liked to believe.

"Goodbye to you too!" I rolled my eyes and made my way past the make-up station spotting Mr Show Off himself.

I hadn't seen much of him and when I say much I mean out of work, he was used to barging into our room to see what shit we were up to which would lead to Dean taking the time to steal Nikki away and christen whatever hotel room he and Ziggles shared.

Dolph was your typical brotherly best friend and he happened to love hanging out with the guys. I liked that after all these years he had a good relationship with Nicole because I wouldn't have been able to deal with that awkward tension. I mean it was there when he feuded with Dean a couple months back but at least that was over. Maybe if he found a girlfriend it would all be over but he didn't seem to want one.

And my friends were a perfect example of why I didn't mix business with pleasure, I'd rather have inactivity than throw myself into that pool. The pool which had the ability to whirl into awkwardness pretty quickly.

I know I know, wasn't I the one who had a pool while next to Mr Lone Wolf? Well I'm sorry, if you slept next to that temptation every night I'm sure he would end up in your sexy dreams.

"All is well?"

I smiled as I pulled him into a hug.

"Oh yes couldn't be better." I shrugged taking my seat to get my make-up done, mostly because my make-up bag had gotten lost between my and Baron's things. If I didn't clean up he wouldn't either and we overslept this morning so yeah we were turning out to be quite the dysfunctional pair.

"One has to wonder with your company" He mused and I giggled but apologized to the pink haired beauty deciding to do my hair as well.

"Just because he beats your ass shouldn't make you question his ability to make me smile Ziggles!" I pinched his cheek while he simply rolled his eyes.

"Okay I'm off! I'll catch you later!"

"Goodluck out there if I don't see you later!" I called after him.

"Yeah who knows, I might be champion" He winked.

"Maybe" I smiled not really having any favourites, considering all of them were pretty insane in the ring.

"Well if it isn't our long lost pretty funny blonde" I heard Nikki and smiled as she sat opposite me while Naomi sat behind her.

"Urgh you guys have no idea how much I miss you!" I groaned before stopping so my lips could be done.

"Yeah you weren't laughing with Mr Wolf!"

It seemed everyone had seen us enter late while I had been oblivious it seemed.

"Wolf? You're rooming with Corbin?" Naomi questioned and I nodded, standing up as I was finally done.

"Its not easy. Like with you guys it was simple and like if I needed a night to myself I could get my own room, now I'm stuck with him." I folded my arms as I stood between the two.

"She means she doesn't have time to work her toy" Nikki winked and I would have argued but that's exactly what I meant which caused the ladies who had to tolerate our crazy talk to chuckle.

"Just wait till he sleeps. These guys be so exhausted after their matches they're out soon after."

I sighed as I shared a bed with him and after what happened the other morning it was safe to say I was trying to keep my hands everywhere but myself. So much so I was holding onto his arm wrapped around me and saying a silent mantra in my head not to freaking moan out loud.

"I'm sure he does it." Nikki rolled her eyes.

"He doesn't." He was always lights out before me, the heavy wolf breathing was a clear indication of that.

"You telling me that boy don't get off while on the road. You need to be timing dem showers girl"

I cringed and laughed out, "I'd rather not."

"Its fine. I'll just remain frustrated until I meet a hot businessman" I giggled.

"Yeah like that worked out for you so well the last time."

"Nicole Garcia!" I narrowed my eyes.

"What?"

"First you tell me to stay away from the wolf now you're condemning me from businessmen"

"Because Baron is exactly like him."

I narrowed my eyes, I wasn't one to really leave people with having had a bad relationship but that had turned sour to the end.

"No he was a charmer and then...let's not get into him. Baron is slowly waiting to get rid of me, he doesn't want me." I laughed.

"I'm sure he does." Nikki shook her head while Naomi gave me a knowing look.

"Whatever, I need to go work!"

"Shit!" I groaned as AJ and Dolph both delivered shots to Baron causing him to fall on the table he had cleared.

"Come fucking on.. Oh fuck!" I jumped as Baron was sent through a table by them.

Poor guy.

Its safe to say the rest of the match I was on my toes. I never really watched Baron fight before, unless I was interviewing him and they played a replay but he was quite hot to watch. Yes sure my poor friend Nick got a bit manhandled but it was hot.

Or perhaps it was just Baron that was hot, I have literally accepted the fact that I am officially sexually attracted to Baron Corbin. I mean I have dreamt about the guy for the last couple weeks and I'm not even sure what happened the morning of Christmas was a dream but he wouldn't tell me even if I asked him so I was stuck.

Stuck with unbelievable embarrassment but also humoured that I had almost gotten off to a dream while having the real thing next to me.

So yes I was stuck just admiring the guy I went to bed with every night from afar. And that was in no way creepy, I think. I was a hardworking woman I deserved some eye candy in my life. I guess it was the fact that I saw everyone on the roster as family while Baron had always been distant so he was like the hot friend your brother introduces you too and he is just so damn appealing but you know you shouldn't find him attractive because you'd probably be disowned.

It was all Bryan's fault, all his fault that I wanted to be taken by this wolf of a man.

I sighed as AJ's music played out signalling him retaining so I decided to reply to some emails before I vacated to Talking Smack to listen to him on there.

I had enjoyed having Baron on last week, it was like having Alexa on they never got along with Bryan. Their characters were both confident and arrogant while Alexa was a sweetheart back here I wasn't sure where the line was drawn between Baron's character and him.

I didn't like to hold things to people so when he had his nice moments I would enjoy them and try not to judge him too harshly when he just tossed me to the side. Which quite literally happened when he decided he would have first dibs on the shower in the morning..

I jumped as I heard a loud bang interrupting my wolfy thoughts before seeing the door fly open.

"FUCKI... What are you doing in here?" He glared my way as his brown orbs were dark.

"Uhm I came to fetch my earphones from your bag and I just got into the match." I shrugged, I mean I did come for my earphones but I felt like watching the match in peace instead of in the green room where no one was really supporting him because they were still deciding on him. The same way the crowd was, they hardly even booed him, they just seemed to be watching him and figuring out where they stood.

"Okay you can go now." He was clearly upset at the loss and I sighed and stood up.

"There will be more opportunities Corbin, no need to..."

"I said you can fucking go. So fucking get the hell out!" he walked into the bathroom and gone was the tolerable wolf.

◆◆◆

I heard the door open and turned to see him stripping to his basketball shorts which I wasn't sure how he wore in this weather but he did. He held out his tee but I shook my head and lift the covers to reveal my sweatpants accompanied by my tank top.

"Figured I'd dress appropriately" I shrugged.

"I'm sure its too late for that now" he said as he got into bed and I turned away from him not sure what he exactly meant by it.

"I'm sorry" I heard him after the room darkened as he switched off his lamp.

"For?" I mumbled into my pillow as I hugged it.

"Raising my voice to you"

I frowned and turned my attention onto him which was pointless because I couldn't see him.

"You've done it many times before."

"I know"

I sighed and turned away from him again, onto my side.

"Baron" I whispered.

"Yeah?" I remained silent because I wasn't sure what I was about to ask or say but if I didn't say anything I'd probably blurt it out at an inappropriate time.

The pros of him not associating with anyone was him not being able to tell anyone. Although he was close to Corey but they hardly ever saw each other and he had admitted what he liked to me.

"Can I tell you something?" I sighed.

"What? You're giving up on me again?" He yawned and I frowned at the specific words he chose but decided not to comment.

"Its more of a confession really, to what we discussed I mean we didn't..I think.." I frowned at what he had told me and I had basically agreed with him but hadn't been blunt.

"Well I have to be up early tomorrow so.."

"I want to be fucked" I giggled as I heard him clear his throat while I knew once I started I might as well be lying by myself because all innocent little me's deep dark desires were about to fucking be spilled.

"I just... I haven't been with someone in so long and even when I had a boyfriend. I have never been fully fulfilled to just be wanted so badly and find the line between pleasure and pain. I guess that's why I'm so adventurous to make up for what I lack, what I need.." I rambled while he simply remained silent.

"And I can't get it from anyone else because I am this person, they just assume I like flowers and cute kisses, which I do, don't get me wrong but.." I felt my cheeks heating up even though I wasn't facing him.

"You want to be fucked"

"Mmmm yeah" I giggled trying to make it not seem serious because well technically it wasn't. I was just admitting...

"What are you saying?" I felt his breath on my neck.

"I want to be fucked by someone who doesn't care. Just one night I want to feel that feeling where you want to stop but its so good, hot and heavy and..."

I rolled my eyes feeling silly hearing the words coming out of my mouth but feeling good at the same time for saying it out loud. I stopped as I felt him wrap his arm around me.

"Go on.."

"The guy is just pushing and going crazy and even when you think you're done he just picks you up because its so intense you can't stop wanting to find your release and.."

I froze as I felt him pushing up behind me partially hoping it wasn't a dream and partially not.

"And?"

I sighed, "And you just get lost in between one another, the heavy breathing, the screaming, the groaning" as I continued I felt him pushing up against me and I immediately pushed back causing a low groan to come from him.

Ever since my dream that felt too much like reality I wanted him, needed to see if I was just dreaming or if some of it was a reality.

"And who do you have in mind to do this for you?"

You.

I giggled, "Uhm I don't know I plan on screaming on the top of my lungs next week on Smackdown the ache is so bad"

His grip loosened making me miss it immediately.

"Baron, I'm kidding" I frowned but he sat up.

"Baron." I reached out for him.

"No, Thanks."

I laughed a bit but he simply moved into the bathroom and I soon heard the shower.

I screamed into my pillow before forcing my eyes shut.

Way to go, Renee!

Just fucking great, I just confessed to him all I wanted that I knew he wanted with someone and he decided just like that I was not wolf worthy.
