After over a year out from WWE, Bayley made her return at Summerslam, confronting Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch, flanked by the returning Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. Damage CTRL had arrived in WWE, and were only interested in taking no prisoners, as well as taking championship gold. And soon enough, tag team gold came for Iyo and Dakota, winning them for a second time after defeating Alexa Bliss and Asuka at Crown Jewel. Bayley, meanwhile, had tried and failed twice to capture the Raw Women's Championship from Bianca, and frustrations were beginning to show. As she was in a rage backstage, having lost a number 1 contenders match against Alexa Bliss, she threw a plate of food which landed near the United States Champion, Josh Stevens.

Bayley: Oh god, Josh, I'm so sorry.

He picked off a bit of lettuce which landed on his shirt, and threw it in the bin.

Josh: It's fine, no harm done. Anyway, what's all the fuss about?

Bayley took a seat with him at the table and let her emotions do the talking.

Bayley: Just the fact that ever since I came back, it's been all about Dakota and Iyo and the tag titles. Nobody's paid much attention to me.

Josh: A rough patch, huh? We all go through it at some point. I was on a bad losing streak just before Wrestlemania this year, and at Mania itself, I beat Finn and Damien to win this. Haven't let go of it since.

Bayley: That's true, your match with Theory and  Lashley at Summerslam was pretty special. And the match against Seth recently on Raw... an absolute classic.

Josh: I guess I just have a habit of pulling out all the stops in big matches.

Bayley admired his confidence, and couldn't stop staring at him as he carried on talking. She was so entranced by Josh she didn't even notice Dakota and Iyo come behind her.

Dakota: Hey, Bay... whatcha looking at?

Bayley jumped in surprise.

Iyo: Ahh... Josh...

Dakota: Does someone have their eye on The Fallen Warrior?

Josh couldn't help but smile at Damage CTRL, and their assumption of Bayley liking Josh.

Josh: Go on, do you like me? In that way?

Bayley: Well... I...

Before Bayley could give a proper answer, Josh was called to gorilla for his 6 man tag team match, teaming with The OC's Gallows, Anderson and Mia Yim and to face The Judgement Day - as AJ Styles, Josh's good friend, was ruled out for up to 6 months with an ankle injury. As The OC revealed Josh as their mystery 4th partner, Dakota and Iyo couldn't help but tease their friend about the US Champion.

Iyo: So, do you really like Josh, Bayley?

Bayley: I... might do...

Dakota: Might do?! Come on Bay, it's clear you do! I mean, what we've just seen with you giving him those admiring eyes, and let's be honest...

The Kiwi got right up in Bayley's ear, whispering the next part so as not to draw much attention.

Dakota: I'm pretty sure at least half the WWE women have their eye on him. Even some NXT girls like Roxanne and Kiana, and even Daddy's little brat, that Tiffany Stratton.

Iyo: Make your move now! Before it's too late!

Bayley: I guess so, I mean, it has been a while since I've had a man in my life.

Dakota: Trust me, Josh is WAAAAAY more than a man...believe me, I know... 

Bayley and Iyo gave Dakota a wide eyed look of complete shock.

Dakota: Yeah... I've had my fun with him in the past. So what? It was when Toni was still around, and believe me... he was the best I've ever had. No guy I've been with since has done me so good.

Iyo: Ugh... too much information, Dakota!!!

Bayley had a thoughtful look about her and came up with an idea.

Bayley: Well, I haven't had a decent night with a guy since the divorce, so... you know... I do think there might actually be something I can do to make Josh completely fall head over heels for me...

Dakota: You go for it! Anyway, we're gonna go now, so we'll see you at the house show in Knoxville on Thursday!

Iyo: Bye, Bay!

As Bayley waved goodbye, she saw Josh and the OC had win their match, Josh planting Balor with the EyeOpener after Gallows and Anderson took out Dom and Damien, with Mia sending Rhea over the barricade.

Bayley: Time for me to put my plan into action...

Half an hour later, as Josh was about to head home from the arena, he saw Bayley waiting in the parking lot.

Josh: Hey, Bay. Where's Iyo and Dakota?

Bayley: They left during your match, still under the assumption that I have feelings for you.

Josh: Oh right... Want to hitch a ride with me to my place?

Bayley: Sure, why not? Got nowhere else to be anyway.

Josh: I mean, you're welcome to stay the night as well, saves you paying for a hotel, right?!

Bayley: If it's okay then thanks!

They made their way to Josh's Aston Martin, and loaded their bags before getting in. During the journey, Josh was very keen on getting an answer to something which seemed to be  bugging him a little.

Josh: So, what you were trying to say earlier... do you actually like me? As in... 'like me'... like me?

But when he looked over at Bayley, he saw that she appeared to be asleep, with her head leaning against the window, and he just smiled at her sleeping figure as 4 more words escaped his mouth.

Josh: Because I like you...

As Josh focused back on the road, it turned out Bayley wasn't really asleep, and a small smile grew on her face when she heard those last words. And soon, after another half an hour, they arrived at Josh's house. Bayley pretended to yawn and wake up as he gently tapped her shoulder.

Josh: Hey, Bay. We're here.

Bayley: Oh, really?

They got their bags and headed inside, with Bayley not being able to take her eyes off Josh when he wasn't looking. She had grown to adore him, not just like him. But deep down, she knew that her little surprise she had planned for him would definitely peak his attention.

Bayley: How about a coffee before we head to bed? After tonight, I am exhausted.

Josh: Sure thing. You go on up to the bedroom, mine or the spare. Doesn't bother me.

As she headed upstairs, dragging her bag along the way, Josh couldn't help but have a glance at undoubtedly Bayley's best feature - her big, bubbly ass. He could have sworn he saw it jiggle a little as she took the last few steps. He checked his phone to see any tweets and notifications regarding Raw. As he also made himself something to eat and took a quick shower in the bathroom, his attention was brought back to the coffees, and as he poured them and then took them upstairs, he was in for the surprise of his life.

Smut alert!

First, Josh tried the spare bedroom, but there was no sign of Bayley. So then he went to his room, and he was shocked as to the sight before his eyes. A candlelit room, rose petals all over the floor, and on the bed, there she laid.

Bayley: Well, well, well. Look what this handsome hunk has brought in for his favourite hugger.

Josh then heard the last 3 words stand out to him, as he also noticed the longer hair and the side ponytail, which could only mean one thing. Bayley, the hugger was back! Even if it was for one night only, and for a very special someone.

Josh: You look sensational... and you brought back the ponytail!!!

Bayley: Only for you. Because there's something I've been meaning to get off my chest and say to you all night.

Josh then got on the bed and laid next to her, as she fiddled with her hair.

Josh: What's up, Bay?

She then fiddled with Josh's shirt as she spoke.

Bayley: What Dakota and Iyo said earlier tonight... about me potentially liking you... well, it's true. I do like you... as in 'like' like you...

She looked down and smiled, probably blushing more than she had ever blushed before, not knowing how Josh would react. But she was a bit taken aback when Josh gently lifted her head back so they were now eye to eye. And she was even more surprised when Josh slowly leaned in and kissed her. Bayley kissed him back gently at first before she straddled him as the two made out for the next 5 minutes, pulling away from him and seeing the smile on his face, and vice versa. 

Josh: So... you like me then?

Bayley: Yep, and now, I'm gonna prove it to you...

The newly turned Hugger for the night then tried to seduce Josh even further by unbuttoning his shirt and jeans, making Josh smile just the way Bayley liked. By the time she got him down to his boxers, she saw his growing tent in his boxers, and couldn't take her eyes off it. She then licked her lips as she then unclipped her bra, releasing her bouncy boobs, making Josh's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Josh: Oh wow... this is a sight I'd love to see more often...

Bayley: Fuck me good tonight, mister, and you can have this view any time you like...

She then pulled down her panties, as Josh then pulled down his boxers, revealing themselves to each other. Josh's stiff cock and Bayley's slightly glistening wet pussy, thanks to thinking of him all night long until this point, where she had him right where she wanted him. She seductively crawled onto the bed and up his body, until she was hovering over Josh's dick, her pussy almost dripping wet. She then slowly slid him inside her, with Josh himself grabbing arguably her most notable feature, the one everyone knew her for, her amazing ass. Bayley slowly started to bounce up and down on Josh, both of them letting out pleasurable moans, ones she hadn't had in a while.

Bayley: OHHH FUCK...

Josh grabbed her ass tighter as he met her bounces with his thrusts and gradually began to pick up the pace, much to Bayley's liking. Once they found a pace they liked, they stuck with it for a little bit as they then kissed once again, this time with all the lust and passion they had in their bodies, with even a bit of tongue action. After a few minutes, Josh, now on top, made sure Bayley's arms were locked around his neck and that her legs were secure around his waist as he then picked her up from the bed and leaned her up against the wall, his cock not leaving her insides for a second as he began thrusting again, this time as fast as he could.

Bayley: Oh fuck... oh fuck... that's new!

Josh: You have no idea what I'm capable of, especially with an adorable hugger like you...

Bayley: So fucking good... I'll have to make sure the hugger sticks around with you...

Josh: I wouldn't want it any other way, babe...

Her eyes lit up at that last word, causing her 7th orgasm of the night, while Josh was beginning to throb himself.

Josh: How are you still... so... fucking... tight?

Bayley: It's... it's been a while... I can feel you throbbing so much...

Josh: Yeah, I'm fucking close... where do you want it?

Bayley locked her legs as tight as possible around Josh's waist, giving him a hint of her answer.

Bayley: Inside me... I want all of it. Fucking... ALL OF IT!!! Every... single... drop!

Her lust for Josh had completely taken over her body as she then felt Josh thrust as hard and as deep as he could for another 45 seconds before he went balls deep inside her and moaned loudly as he released all he had inside her, with Bayley feeling him paint her insides. They stayed like that for a good minute before Josh carried her back to the bed, where he slowly pulled out of her. Bathing in the after sex glow glistening with sweat, Bayley and Josh linked hands as she rested her head on Josh's chest, listening to his heartbeat pound away.

Josh: So... now that you like me... and now this has happened... what now?

Bayley smiled at him before she replied.

Bayley: Well, considering we like each other, the amazing sex, and the fact that you finished inside me, I suppose we are a thing now. That is... if you want to be.

Josh: Oh crap... I didn't even think about that! Are you taking anything for it?

Bayley: No. And let me tell you why. Partly because it's been such a long time since I had sex last, and also, you see, I love wrestling as much as anyone... but I have also always wanted a family of my own. And even though I've only been back for a few months, and basically in the peak of my career, I feel like now is probably the best time to start trying. The only thing I needed was someone to share that experience with. Then you came along, and I immediately felt drawn to you. I just wanted to try and break the ice somehow.

Josh: Well, you certainly did that. I completely get your reasoning as well. I've wanted a family of my own too, but I've never had much luck with women. Now it looks like I don't have to worry about that anymore. Here I am right now, with the perfect woman, and with the perfect future in mind. You've got me now, and I'm not going anywhere.

Bayley then leaned back up to kiss him before she snuggled into his shoulder and they both fell asleep, dreaming of what the future would hold for them.
