"You want me Bella and by the end of the night you will be mine.." The confidence oozed from him as his smirk didn't fade.

"You're insane, Randall" I shook my head with a smile while my sister rolled her eyes.

"What makes you say that?"

"You only met me yesterday" I sighed as I had arrived a bit late.

"And you doubt your ability to reel a man like me in, in such a short amount of time?" he leaned and whispered into my neck.

"My sister just got out of a break-up and.."

"Brie the other girls are waiting" he cut her off and she rolled her eyes and grabbed her drink.

I grabbed mine as well, ready to leave but felt his hand snake around me as he pulled me in between his legs, "you're already tipsy"

"Its a Bachelorette party, we're meant to get into Brie Mode" I smiled even though I was more drowning my sorrows a bit at my sister being married soon when I saw no wedding in sight for me. "You should be off with John, smoking cigars or whatever"

"Maybe I should just hang around here in case you're in need of some assistance later" His eyes fell from my eyes to my lips as the different lights displayed on his face.

"And you think I would want any assistance from you?" I laughed a bit despite his touch causing a feeling inside of me.

"I would be sitting here all night with the hope of it" He shrugged.

"You're insane"

"Twice in one night but you may be right. How about this insane man gets a kiss before you go and party the night away. I mean you'll forget about it in the morning anyway?" His lips grazed over mine before he leaned back and slowly licked over his bottom lip.

"But you won't"

"You can deem me insane when I dare mention it? Come on, we're in the middle of nowhere. What happens here, stays here Bella." His arms tightened around me as his blue eyes burned into mine.

I hated that guilt filled me when Nick was probably somewhere not caring about me, taking advantage of our split. This was Randy Orton, a man I had admired before I even thought of getting into wrestling...

I leaned forward and briefly kissed him but as I pulled away, his fingers wrapped into my hair and he pushed his tongue past my lips. I wasn't used to the roughness but I kissed him back, suppressing a moan as he pulled me tightly against him. His tongue moved with mine as his grip on my hair loosened and his fingers clasped my neck.

His lips left mine and he placed a gentle kiss in my neck.

"Mmmm you should go before your sister finds a rifle and shoots me"

I glanced back and saw Brie staring our way not sure if she really saw the kiss.

He handed me my drink and stared over my body one more time, "I'll see you at the end of the night"

"No you won't" I cleared my throat and took my hand from his.

"We'll see.."

I smiled as I felt arms around me and as I slowly opened my eyes and saw the tattooed arms I knew I had not been dreaming. I turned to face him as he slept, after months and months I finally gave into him completely.

He always seemed to find me at my lowest, two years ago had not been the exception at all. And while two years ago I had the excuse of the alcohol and even now... I knew I wanted it, I knew I had wanted him just a few hours ago and he knew it too, whether I chose to deny it as well.

"You always admire the view it seems" I heard him and smiled.

He opened his eyes as his blue ones lazily looked at me.

"I keep forgetting how beautiful you are in the morning, especially naked." He smirked, while I remained silent.

"You don't regret it, do you?" His smirk dropped a bit as he frowned.

"No, although I might still be drunk" I whispered trying to find my voice.

"Mmmm that's okay. "

He leaned forward and kissed me, pulling me closer to him. I immediately kissed him back as I had done many times, before I went too far last night, and felt him pull my thigh over his side. He slowly broke it and nudged his nose over mine.

"We could have this, you know?" By the tone of his voice I knew he was serious.

"I don't deserve you Randy. I'm not a good person." I whispered knowing I had hurt so many people and yet didn't love Hunter any less.

"And I am?" He chuckled.

"Why do you want me? No one else wants me.." I felt his arm move around me, everyone was slowly disappearing as well as Hunter.

"I told you. You are their puppet but I see you." He pulled me so that half my body rested on his.

"I do love him though" I admitted but his face didn't drop, he simply searched my eyes before speaking.

"Deep down you know Colby can't love you like I can"

Colby? Of course...

"I'm the reason you're so against Colby.." I whispered mostly to myself as I knew he had believed the man I was with was on the roster but Colby?

"He is my competition"

I sighed as he didn't seem to mind much and I knew it was wrong but him believing it was Colby seemed to be better than Hunter, "I still love him though."

"I know. So what do we do now?"

I shrugged and he tipped me over.

And I knew I would be falling prey to him again..

▲▲▲▲

"Are you sure you want to do this? You might still be drunk." I smirked as she took off her bikini top before lying down onto the bed.

I was glad she wore some pants otherwise this guy would be getting too much of a show.

"Yes, I am fucking Fearless Nikki and its about time they knew." She said confidently making me smile, slowly biting my lip. While I didn't mind being the support she needed or comforting her when she was defeated. I had certainly missed the Nicole she was when the world wasn't against her.

"You could get in trouble at work" I stated as a last bit to make sure she knew what she was doing.

"My gear covers it and I'm probably not scheduled for tonight or the rest of the week"

I frowned but nodded as the familiar buzzing sound filled my ears and he went to work while her fingers dug into my thighs, making me tense.

I removed them and held it in my hand instead, not needing to have the need fill me just yet, despite having been buried inside her for the second time in one morning, just over an hour ago.

"Why Fearless?" The guy asked.

"Because its been a rough couple months and I guess I need a reminder not to be weakened by people simply because I love them." She spoke staring into the distance and I smirked.

"Aaaaah so you do love me?"

"What?"

My tattoo artist chuckled as he changed the ink.

"What makes you say that?" She peeked up at me having to lie still when I knew she wanted to hop up.

"Does my presence not weaken Nikki Bella?"

She stared at me for a bit before letting out a sigh, "I'm not sure"

"What do you mean?"

"You do both" she whispered and I decided not to question her, hearing her voice fade. The last thing I wanted was her confliction to become evident when we weren't hidden...

I had prepared myself for her to leave the hotel room, leaving me in bed after a really long morning but instead I woke up for the third time and it was to an empty bed.

I believed she had left me, but as I did she walked out into the room with a towel and her wet hair dripping making me want more despite having had more than expected. She let me know I would be accompanying her for the day so I didn't mind missing my afternoon gym session before I had to drive over to the arena for Smackdown. I had certainly gotten a good workout in..

"Done.." He reached for a mirror and she smiled brightly as she saw it.

I liked to believe the morning with me had raised her spirits but I was not in the mind of Nikki Bella...

"I love it, thank you so much!" She hugged him before he placed the thing over it and I helped her with her tee.

"Okay I'm hungry Orton" She groaned as we walked out.

Oh it sure is nice to pretend for a few hours she is yours.

You are not ruining this for me.

I'm just allowing you not to get your hopes up.

They are not.

"Whose not?"

I frowned and saw she had stopped in front of me.

"Er nothing.. I'm sure some of these boutiques have a fancy bathroom we could make use of.." I winked and she seemed to think for a bit before rolling her eyes and moving beside me again.

"Oh you wish. I'm more craving food"

I chuckled as I got pulled into the small cafe briefly sending a text as I spotted the name of it.

"Mmmm I want something unhealthy so badly but I don't feel like heading to the gym today either" She scanned the menu.

"What?" She giggled as I had been gazing at her.

"Nothing, in my opinion all that cardio deserves some rewarding." I winked and she rolled her eyes with a smile before ordering a donut with some coffee.

"You know there is another side to the booth right?"

"I have not been near you in several weeks Bella, my body has been having some withdrawal symptoms so I'm just trying to get it into tolerating Nicole Garcia mode."

"I think you did enough of that this morning but okay, Orton"

"Do you like it?" I heard her halfway through her donut while I had finished off my farmhouse breakfast to try and take my mind off her.

"What?" I stared down at my empty plate but she shook her head.

"The tattoo."

Don't start getting boyfriend ideas, I'm sure she'll be seeking Colby's approval on it soon.

Fuck off.

"Not as much as the one on that beautiful behind. But that's only because I like its movements when I slap your.." She placed her finger on my lips and I kissed it. She pulled it away and I licked my lips tasting the chocolate while she got back to her donut.

I smirked as she licked her finger as well and she frowned as she noticed it. "Tasting my kisses.."

"Wha.. I forgot.. Oh my word Randall!" She groaned while I simply chuckled seeing her cheeks heat up.

I cleared my throat as she finished and wiped her hands with a napkin, "I do like the tattoo. Its simple but means a lot and I like it even more that I was the one who accompanied you."

"Good you happened to be at the right place at the right time."

"I always seem to be when your needs need to be fulfilled"

"Is that a complaint?"

"More like a realization" I shrugged not having meant anything by it.

"What are they doing here?" I glanced behind me.

"Well we usually train together so I let them know where I was." I sighed not having expected them to show up considering I wanted to be alone with Nicole.

"Randy, what are you.."

"Randy. Nicole." Hunter nodded while Colby simply sat down and I knew he already didn't like the sight.

I guess the surprise could work to my advantage, If he launched at me then well he cared if not I guess he didn't...

"Hunter, am I working tonight?" I heard Nicole after we had discussed a few things.

"No, you are not needed"

I saw her face drop a bit and sighed with her words the first time she had shown me her vulnerable side in two years coming to mind.

I didn't like how things were changing for her once again and Hunter knew that very well. But what Stephanie says goes...

"Well that gives you more time to get ready" I placed my hand over hers causing her to look at me.

"For?"

"Our late dinner" I smiled.

"Sure" She did as well.

"If you'll excuse us" I heard Seth as he and Hunter stood up and soon moved past us, leaving.

"I'm not going to dinner with you, Orton"

"I know, I'm helping you"

She frowned, "He needs to realize that if he keeps hurting you by denying you the privilege of being able to tell people. There are many men who want you"

"When there is in fact only you?" She narrowed her eyes at me making me chuckle.

"Well I hope so, I mean you love him so I wont go killing him. The others I can't offer the same courtesy"

She giggled and shook her head, "I don't want anyone to know. It will only bring war."

"War?"

She stopped herself, "I should get going. I'm going home, hopefully my mom still loves me."

"Does he?"

Why did you ask her that?

If he did he wouldn't have been so calm.

True.

"What?" She sipped off the last bits of her coffee before staring at me.

"Does he love you?"

"Why are you doing this?" She sighed resting her head on my arm stretched out over the booth, "What?"

"Acting like you're a friend when we slept together this morning and all you want is for me to be available for your lustful needs."

"Well I'm sure after how productive we were this morning. My craving for you has subsided. I mean I waited two years" I shrugged and she smiled.

"He does, I don't think as much as I love him. But I can't help how I feel" With her eyes focused on me I saw the sadness but I tried not to show any emotion on my face. I knew by last night things with her and Brie were still rocky so I would sit by and be her confidant.

"Do you wish you didn't?"

She glanced out of the window before staring into my eyes once more.

"When I'm with you, yes Orton. But I'm Nicole and I fall in love with the completely wrong guys." She bit her lip and closed her eyes.

"And I am so darn perfect" I groaned causing her eyes to open.

She didn't say anything but simply took my hand in hers and traced over the hair band of Alanna around my finger.

"For the first time since even before I ruined everything I feel like myself. I mean there is apart of me that feels weak and that is my heart because its what controls me. And betrays me the most but I have felt so defeated over the last couple weeks. And I realized it was even more so after you did what I asked... "

"Well I'm glad The Viper was able to do that for you. I didn't know it could heal people but with how deep it.."

Her lips were on mine before I could continue, I expected a finger to my lips but that worked well.

It was short but oh so good...

"I'm sorry, Randy" She sighed into my neck and while I wasn't sure what for I wrapped my arms around her and noticed Hunter and Seth seated at the bar while I thought they had left.
