Rating: NC-17 Summary: What happens when Chuck Palumbo and the Undertaker spend some time alone together Notes: Side step to Confused: From Chuck�s POV Another note: Yet another part of the Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back series I smile at the Undertaker as we step into the elevator. He is such a nice guy. And he is so sweet to Jeff Hardy. Of course I think everyone in the fed has a soft spot for Hardy and his girls. Jeff�s a good kid. And his girls are just the cutest little things. They love climbing on Taker. He must seem like a giant amusement park just for them. He smiles at me and I nearly come in my pants. Wait a minute. Since when do I have feelings for Taker? Oh man. I�m just tired. Yeah that�s it. We reach the ground floor of the hotel and we head into the bar. He sits at a table and I follow behind him. �So Chuck when are you and Sean going to go for the tag titles?� �I don�t know. Whenever the writer�s decide to end his feud with Jericho I guess.� �You�d think the fans would be sick of that. It�s been going on for several months now hasn�t it?� �Yep. But I guess it has something to do with the fact that they are both extremely hot guys.� �You think they�re handsome?� �No I think they�re hot. I think you�re handsome.� I can feel the blush spread over my face. Did I really just say that out loud? Taker smiles at me, surprised. �You think I�m handsome?� Should I tell the truth or should I lie? Well, it�s not in me to lie so I go for the truth. �Yeah, I do. You are an extremely handsome man.� He smiles at me almost shyly. There�s something I never expected to see; the Undertaker getting shy. It�s adorable. And I can�t believe I just referred to the Undertaker as adorable. I look down at the table and see his hand resting there. I don�t know what possesses me to do what I do next but I take his hand in mine. He looks into my eyes surprised and I smile into his. We sit there like that for several minutes. The waitress is what makes us break apart. I look up at her sheepishly and order a beer. He orders the same and we start to talk about everything under the sun. He such an intelligent guy. I love that in a man. We talk for hours neither of us noticing how much time has actually passed. Four hour later, we are still talking about politics. The waitress stands there impatiently waiting for Taker to find his wallet. He hands her a fifty which is way more than our tab and tells her to keep the change. How great is he I ask you. We head back upstairs and he walks me to my room. I don�t mean to but I invite him in. He steps in and when he turns around to say something I don�t seem to be able to help myself. I pull him down to me for a passionate kiss. He reacts by pulling me up against him and I can feel the heat from his erection pressed into my thigh. We pull apart quickly and stare at one another. With out a word we both undress and I practically fly into his arms for another searing kiss. His body feels so good pressed against mine. The heat coming from our bodies is so intense I�m surprised nothing lights on fire. On the other hand my body feels like it�s on fire so maybe something did flame up. He picks me up and carries me to the bed. Now I know I�m not a heavyweight but I am by no means a light weight. He continues to amaze me. He�s totally gentle when he caresses my body. I can feel his mouth on my body and it�s driving me crazy. I never thought I could want a man this badly but I do. It�s not even want at this point. It�s more about needing him right now. Am I crazy? Probably but so what? I whimper when he takes my throbbing member into his mouth. God his mouth is so warm and moist. I could almost come right now. Luckily I don�t because that would be really embarrassing. He sucks gently and I feel his tongue swirl around my cock. I swear the man is trying to drive me insane. He deep-throats me, which is something no one has ever done before. I moan when he hums around my cock. I nearly lose it when I feel his hand cup my balls and start to fondle my sac. I manage to hold on but when I feel his finger enter me, I can�t hold back. I shoot deep into his mouth and instead of it gagging him he swallows every last drop. He licks me clean and then rises up to kiss me. How erotic can you get? The taste of my come in his mouth is enough to get me hard all over again and he laughs at the feel of it poking him in the leg. He pulls back and looks me over. �Do you want to stay here tonight?� Where the hell did that come from? I did not mean to ask him that but he nods slowly. I sit up and force him onto his back and make him watch while I grab the baby oil I keep in my bag and I slowly prepare myself. I watch gleefully as his cock swells even more. I straddle his hips and sink slowly onto his cock. Both of us moan at the sensation. I move my hips and he grips me, not hard enough to bruise but hard enough to control my movements. I love aggressive men. We work together and he is at he perfect angle to constantly rub my prostate. After several minutes, he stills and I revel in the feel of him coming inside of me. He reaches between our bodies and quickly strokes me the rest of the way over the edge. He licks his hand clean and then rolls me onto my back. He licks my stomach clean and I moan when his tongue dips into my navel. He is turning me on again and he knows it because I can see the mischievous gleam in his eyes as he takes my hardening member into his mouth again. He sucks me to orgasm, my third of the night. He gets up and goes into the bathroom. He comes back seconds later with a washcloth and he gently cleans my body off. I tell you he could be the perfect man. He�s smart, funny, gorgeous, sweet and kids love him. What more could I possibly want? He climbs back into bed and pulls me against his side. We lay there cuddled together for an hour before either of us falls asleep. I wake up the next morning startled to feel someone under me. It takes me a few seconds to remember what happened between me and Taker last night. I sigh happily and cuddle back into him. He holds me tighter and says in that deep voice of his �Mornin� darlin�.� I pull my head up and smile at him. �Good morning, gorgeous.� He kisses me softly and pushes me off of him. When he gets back from the bathroom I head in. After taking care of business, I head into the room again. I step back in surprise when I see breakfast all laid out. Looking at him curiously, I head over to the small table in the corner of the room. He smiles softly at me and says �I wanted to do something nice for you so I ordered up breakfast.� I get up from my seat and climb into his lap. I cuddle against his massive chest and allow him to feed me. When breakfast is over, he carries me back to the bed where he makes love to me. After we have laid there for a while he stands up and carries me into the bathroom. We shower together and I delight in the feel of his hands as they wash my back. I return the favor and he moans softly when I brush across his cock. I let the water rinse him off and get to my knees. After bringing him to orgasm he smiles down at me and turns off the water. He lifts me out of the tub and sets me on the toilet seat. He dries me off and dresses me. I don�t know why but I let him do what he wants. He dries himself off and gets dressed. We realize what time it is and he has to go. I walk him to the door. He steps out and turns back to me. He leans down and kisses me softly. I caress his cheek and he walks down the hall after saying he�d catch me later. I�m so glad he didn�t say goodbye. It�s then that I notice Sean grinning at me. I shake my head at him and go back into my room. I flop onto the bed and bury my face in the pillow he had used. I smile as I inhale his scent from it. You should read Confused up to Ch. 26 before reading this As I watch Sean walk dejectedly from the room, I feel Taker�s arms wrap around me. I lean into him and sigh. �Poor Sean. I feel so bad for him. He loves Jeff so much and everytime they try to get together, something bad happens.� Taker holds me closer. �I know baby but we are doing all we can. We�ll get Jeff back. I don�t know how but I promise you we will get him back.� I look up at him and am totally convinced that he will do anything to get Jeff back. Part of me feels jealous. I know that he had a crush on Jeff at one point. But I push that aside because I know that he likes me. I can promise you that I am head over heels in love with him but I don�t want to scare him away. I sigh happily as he kisses me. The way his mouth feels on mine is wonderful. I love the way he tastes too. It�s like honey and whiskey all rolled together and add to that the fact that we had been eating strawberries earlier� I am just so turned on by this man. I pull myself closer to him and he tightens his grip on me. We break the kiss, gasping for air. He speaks. �Chuck, baby, we should save this for later because if we start this now I�m not going to let it stop and we promised Sean we�d talk to the cops with him.� I shake my head, agreeing with him and we head for the daycare center. Walking in I almost cry at the sight of Jeff�s girls sobbing on Sean. Poor Sean, I don�t have the slightest clue how he�s not bawling himself. I walk over to the girls and take one of them, settling her on my lap. Angie wraps her arms around my neck and cries for all she�s worth. I smile sadly at Taker who has grabbed Marie and placed her in much the same position. We sit there for what seems like hours just holding Jeff�s daughter�s until their tears finally subside. We stand up when they stop crying and start to head for the door. Elisabeth comes running over and tugs on my shirt. I lean down so that she doesn�t have to strain her neck too much and look expectantly at her. �Mr. Palumbo, will you bring our daddy back to us?� It�s a struggle not to cry. I look her in the eyes and say, �First off my name is Chuck. Secondly, I will do everything in my power to bring your daddy back to you and your sisters.� She looks up at me with this huge grin and then throws her arms around my neck. I can�t help but smile. She is so adorable. I straighten up after she kisses my cheek and together Sean, Taker and I head to the office to call the police. You should read Confused up to Ch. 31 before reading this I can't seem to stop crying. Taker is being as sweet as candy but my best friend has all but disappeared. Where has Sean gone? I know he was upset and everything but he could have at least let me go with him. Now he's missing and I am worried that he might have been kidnapped by the same people who have Jeff. I guess the good thing about that is that at least they are together. If they are together. I hope for their sakes that they are together. It has been three weeks since Sean disappeared and a little over that since Jeff did. His girls have been spending their time with Matt and Lance at night and me and Taker during the day. I have fallen in love with all four of Jeff's little girls. So far the only clue we have is that Test and Albert were probably behind it because they have disappeared as well. And since other than being friends with Jeff they have nothing in common with Sean and Jeff, it seemed to be the logical conclusion. I'm the only one who thinks they could be behind it. After all, there is another person who has disappeared. No one can find Big Show anywhere. He has vanished into thin air. Taker says there is no way that the three of them would ever want to hurt Jeff or Sean. Okay, Sean; I can see where they wouldn't want to hurt him. But Jeff? Everyone knows that Test has had a crush on Jeff longer than he's been in the fed. And everyone knows that Albert would do anything Test asked him to. The only wild card in the equation is Show. He has nothing in common with the rest of us. He has always kept to himself and all but ignores the other four men. I don't know any more. I am just so worried all of the time. Jeff's little girls come into the room where I am sitting and Angie and Marie head for Taker. Elisabeth climbs onto my lap and I hug her close. She snuggles against my chest and I hear her sniffle. I hate to hear her cry. Looking up I nod at Lance, who smiles at me. "Hey Chuck. How are you doing today?" "The same as usual Lance. You got their stuff?" "Yeah. Matt's bringing in Laura and her stuff." Lance smiles at Taker. They aren't friends. Not even close but they are at least trying to get along for the girl's sake. Of course Matt and I aren't what you could consider friends but for the girls sake we are trying. Matt walks into the room and smiles sadly at me. I know I said we aren't friends but I can't help what I do next. His brother is in love with my best friend. I set Elisabeth aside and stand up. I walk over to Matt and we hug. He lays his head on my shoulder and I hear him sniffle. I just hold him while he cries. I seem to be good at holding people while they cry. Taker smiles at me and Lance bites his lip trying not to cry. Elisabeth looks up at me holding Matt and then up at Lance. "Uncle Lance? Is Uncle Mattie crying?" Lance nods and kneels next to the little girl. "Yeah baby. Matt misses his little brother a lot. Just like you miss your daddy. But you know what would probably make Matt feel a lot better?" Elisabeth shakes her head and the other girls are listening in. "If you girls went over there and gave him really big hugs." Elisabeth smiles at Lance and makes he way over to Matt and me. She tugs on my shirt and I pull Matt down with me. She hugs him and he finally lets go of me. The other girls are quick to hug Matt too. I start to stand up but Elisabeth looks at me sadly. She holds her arms open and I smile at the invitation. I wrap her up in my arms and she holds me tightly. Lance walks over and taps Matt on the shoulder. He sniffles and lets go of the little girls. Standing up Matt looks at me with a smile. "Take care of Jeff's little girls Chuck." "I will Matt. I will." I smile as Lance leads Matt out of the room. Looking up I see Taker smiling at me and the girls who have wrapped themselves around me. I shrug at him and he shakes his head. We don't actually have any plans other than keeping the girls busy while Matt and Lance look for Jeff and Sean. The girls sit down and start to color after a few more minutes of hugging. I guess they felt I needed a hug too. I walk over to where Taker is playing with the baby and smile at the sight of the man I love playing with this tiny little baby. It is just the cutest thing I have ever seen. He looks at me staring at him and smiles. I sit down on his lap, surprising him and reaching over I pick up the baby. I cradle her against my chest and Taker smiles at me. He holds me against his chest and I have to smile. I wonder briefly what kind of father he would be but shake that thought from my head. It doesn't really matter. It's not like any kid we have together is going to be both of ours. In reality yes but not biologically. And where the hell did those thoughts come from. Since when are Taker and I even that serious? I don't know what just came over me. I shake my head and taker asks me what's wrong. I just shake my head again as I feel my face heat up. He grabs my chin and forces me to look at him. "What's wrong Chuck? I have never seen you blush before." "Nothing's wrong babe. I was just thinking." "About what?" "It's not important." "It must be to make you blush." "No it wasn't important." "Liar. But okay if you don't want to tell me what made you blush then I won't force you to. I was just under the impression that we could tell each other anything. I guess I was wrong." He says looking very discouraged. He isn't playing fair and I am sure he knows it. I take one look into those green eyes though and am lost. I speak quickly running my words together. "Iwasthinkingaboutyouandmeandourfuturetogether." He smiles and rubs my lower back. "Really? What about our future together?" I blush again and look at him nervously. "Thinking about how great a father you'd be and what our kids would look like?" I say wary of his reaction. He smiles at me and hugs me tighter. "As long as our kids look like you I'll be happy. And I don't know about what kind of dad I'd make but you will be a great father to our children." I look at him shocked that he wants the same future I do. He grins at me and pulls something out of his pocket. "Babe, you have to know by now that I love you. I have been waiting for the right moment to do this but until we get Sean & Jeff back I'm afraid that moment will never get here. So I am asking you now. It's probably not the best time for this but Chuck will you marry me?" I am so stunned that I am speechless. I just sit there and stare at the man I love; the man of my dreams and suddenly, for absolutely no reason at all I start to cry. It freaks him out and he pulls me close again and starts whispering nonsensical words in my ear. I start laughing through the tears and he looks at me like I have lost my mind. I think I have. The girls are starting to look worried now and I motion for them to come over to the couch where Taker & I are sitting. When the girls are surrounding us I smile at Taker and take the ring from him. "I love you so much Taker. I would love to be your husband." I kiss him lightly and the girls giggle. He hugs me tightly and winks at the girls. "Well then, this calls for a celebration. Have you girls had lunch yet?" The girls shake their heads and Taker smiles at me. "Then lets go. We can go wherever you girls want for lunch and then maybe we can hit the zoo or the local amusement park?" The girls all jump up and down excitedly. I smile at him and get to my feet. The girls jump off the couch and run for the door. "Wait up little munchkins. Let me get Laura in her seat and grab the stroller and then we can go." The girls nod and off we go. This follows Chapter 33 of Confused & Chapter 2 of Forever Love I leave Sean's room in tears. He finally fell asleep. I can't believe the things he said about enjoying it. I know he was lying to me but still. He scared me. Now I have to face Taker. He and I haven't been getting along that well lately and I know it's my fault. It's all because I am so worried about Sean and Jeff. I just don't know what else to do. Sean is my best friend. Okay yeah, I love Taker but Sean has been my best friend for longer than I have known Taker. I don't want to lose either of them and I'm afraid that Taker wants me to choose. I reach the door to mine and Taker's room and pause. I take a few deep breaths and open the door. I walk in prepared to explain myself to Taker when what I see stops me short. I gasp at the sight before me and then turn around and run. I don't know where I am going; I just know I have to get away. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised to see myself back at Sean's floor but what does surprise me is seeing Jeff there. I watch him silently as he tapes a note to the door and then lays something on the ground in front of the door. He knocks and then walks down the hall in the opposite direction. I approach Sean's room just as Sean opens the door. He looks at me in surprise and says, "I thought you were going back to Taker." A tear slips down my cheek at the mention of him and I just shake my head. Sean obviously gets the picture and ushers me inside but not before I grab the note and the package that Jeff had left. I wordlessly hand them over to Sean who looks at me questioningly. I respond to his unasked question. "Jeff. He left them there, knocked and then left. I don't know why or what happened but that's who it's from." Sean nods slowly and looks at the note carefully. He pulls it open and starts to cry. As heart -broken as I am that part of me that has to take care of everyone else takes over and I pull him to me, comforting him. He pulls away after a minute and hands me the note while he opens the package. I look up when he gasps and smile at the picture he had destroyed only hours earlier. He also pulls a necklace out of the box. I frown at him and he shakes his head, to overcome with emotion to speak I guess. He holds the charm in his hand and squeezes it. I finally take the opportunity to read the note. Dear Sean, I know this seems weird. And I'm not sure why I don't just talk to you but for right now this is easier to do. I want to get together and talk about us. About our future; If we have one and what we can do to get over the past. So if you want to get past all of this, meet me tomorrow morning at ten in the hotel restaurant. I'll be waiting for you. Love, Jeff PS I wanted to let you know why I want you to meet me so I wrote you this poem The sunset is my love for you Blinding me to the world I'd give you a love you never knew Whether the sky is black or blue My heart will belong to you In the rain or in the snow My love for you will grow Flowing like a river My heart cannot stay If you want my love The way that I want yours All you have to do Is simply say I love you I am near tears by the time I finish reading the poem. I am happy for Sean. Jeff wants to be with him again. I know Sean is happy. I can tell by the way he is grinning from ear to ear that he couldn't possibly be happier. Now if only my life was that perfect. I sigh and Sean stops smiling. "Chuck? Why are you here? I thought you were going to go talk to Taker about what's been going on." "I was� I went to our room and I walked in and� he� with Mike�they were�" I am trying not to cry but talking about what I saw makes me sick to my stomach. The tears start falling down my cheeks as I head for the bathroom. I slam the door shut and collapse against it. Sean bangs in the door. I hear the outside door open up and then close. I take a deep breath and splash some water on my face before heading out to talk to Sean. He's gone. I hope he didn't go after Taker. Something tells me that's exactly what he did so I leave the room and head towards my room. Sure enough I can hear Sean yelling at Taker and Taker yelling back. I open the door and walk in slowly. Mike Sanders is on the bed covered in just a sheet. He's obviously wearing nothing else. My heart breaks all over again. I pull my eyes away from the man I thought was my friend and walk over to where Sean and Taker are standing toe to toe, yelling at each other. I step between them, avoiding Taker's eyes. I push Sean away from Taker and out the door. I can't handle being there right now. I can't handle him cheating on me. I know that he and I never really made a serious commitment but we were living together. He was my entire world. And now my heart is broken into a million pieces. I can feel Taker's eyes boring into my back but I can't look at him. If I do I know I will start crying. I keep walking even when I hear him call my name. I push Sean onto the elevator, which conveniently just opened up. I shove Sean onto the elevator and turn around to push the button. The last thing I see as the doors shut is Taker standing in the hallway, naked watching me carefully. The door shut and I collapse in tears in Sean's arms. Sean holds me, being the comforter for a change instead of being the one comforted. We reach his floor and he leads me to his room. We sit down on the bed and I just keep crying. I try to stop the tears but it's no use. The tears keep falling no matter what I do. Sean doesn't say anything. He just holds me tight and is there for me. He holds me until I fall asleep. Takes place during and after Chapter 34 of Confused "What the hell do you know about it? You're the one who raped the man you supposedly love. So fuck you. Taker has always been the sweetest man to me. I love him and he loves me. He's just trying to make me feel guilty." Sean reaches for me and I pull away. "Don't you dare touch me Sean. I swear�" I trail off and look at Sean. Swallowing, I turn, running out of the room. I hear Sean running after me. He catches up with me at the elevator. He stops me from getting on and pulls me into his arms. I try to fight out of his embrace but he refuses to let me go. I stop fighting and start sobbing. He is leading me back to his room when I feel him tense up. I look up at him curiously, trying to figure out what's wrong. He doesn't look at me but instead pushes me into his room and seats me on his bed. I hear a knock on the door. I watch as Jeff shoves Sean out of the way and heads for the bed. "Chuck? Are you okay?" I start to nod my head but the tears streaming down my face tell the truth. Jeff pulls me into a hug. Jeff gets to his feet and starts pushing Sean backwards. He finally pushes Sean out the door and shuts it in his face. I can't help myself. I laugh as Jeff slides the chain into place, effectively locking Sean out of his own room. Jeff turns around and smiles softly at me. I look into his emerald eyes and realize exactly why Sean is in love with this young man. Jeff sits next to me and places a hand on my shoulder. "Do you wanna talk about it Chuckie?" I almost laugh. No one calls me Chuckie. But from Jeff it sounds so natural. I smile at him and shake my head. "Okay then, do you wanna hear what Taker is saying about this?" I start to shake my head to tell him no but that part of me that is somewhat masochistic nods my head. Jeff bites his lip and places his arm around my shoulder. "He says that you and Sean have been sleeping together." I frown at Jeff and speak for the first time. "We did." Jeff frowns and then this weird look crosses over his face. "No Chuckie, I mean Taker thinks you and Sean were having sex." I am completely shocked by this. How can he think I would cheat on him? Is this why he cheated on me? But that doesn't make sense. He knows that I love him. Jeff sees the pain on my face and holds me close. "Do you want to stay here in Sean's room?" I shake my head. "I don't want to stay here. I don't want to interfere in your relationship Jeff." He frowns and hits me, making me jump. "You are an idiot. After all you've done for me and for Sean, nothing you could do could interfere. Besides, you being in Sean's room isn't that big of a deal as far as I'm concerned. You probably should be here or in my room." I look up at him, shocked at what he just said. "You mean that? Can I stay in your room?" Jeff looks at me and nods his head. "Of course. How much of you wanting to stay with me is because of Taker?" I look away somewhat embarrassed that I am that easy to read. "A lot. I figure if I am in your room then Taker can't possibly accuse me of cheating on him. He knows that after all you have been through there's no way I would ever�. Not that you aren't sexy as hell but�" I trail off realizing I made a huge fool of myself. Jeff is smiling at me when I look back at him. "Chuckie, I knew what you meant. It's okay. And thank you." I look at him puzzled as to why he was thanking me and I tell him so. He smiles at me. "Thank you for thinking I'm sexy." I smile and hug Jeff. "Pack up your stuff. I am going to go get rid of the morons that are standing in the hallway." "How do you know they are still out in the hallway?" "Just a hunch. They're either standing out there staring each other down or they have killed each other." Jeff laughs and we look at one another. His eyes go wide as he considers that possibility. He goes to the door and yanks it open. As he steps into the hall, I start to gather my stuff together. No more than five minutes later Jeff is back in the room and helping me get all of my stuff into my bags. He smiles at me as we stand there re-folding my clothes so that they actually fit into the bags. Neither of us says anything until it's all done. "Well, okay then. Let me go check and make sure that they are gone. I have a feeling they're both still standing there." I smile and nod as Jeff goes back to the door and opens it up. I can see Taker and Sean standing there leaning against the wall before he shuts the door. I turn away not wanting to see Taker. I sit down on the bed and think about all of the things that have happened over the last few days. I think about how much I love Taker. About how much it hurt when I walked in on him and Sanders in our bed having sex. I have never felt this horrible in my life. I can't believe he would do this to me. The one thing I don't understand in all of this is why. Why did he cheat on me? And did he intend for me to find him and Sanders in bed together or was that not in his big plan? Has he been cheating on me all of this time? And if so how come I didn't know it? Jeff comes back into the room and looks shocked to find me in tears again. He grabs my bags and waits until I get to my feet before leading me out of the room. He stays silent the entire time we are on the way to his room. He drops my bags on the floor and turns around to face me. I look around the room avoiding his eyes. I notice the other bags, far too many bags for them to all be his and I know his girls don't stay in his room anymore. I look up at him and ask him about the other bags. "Oh, those belong to Shannon and Benoit. They have been staying with me. And I think they'll be here tonight too. So you and I have to share my bed." I nod slowly and sit on the bed he indicated. I look up at him and try to smile. Seeing the sympathy on his face makes me break down again. He kneels in front of me and wipes away the tears. "Chuck, sweetie? Was it seeing Taker that upset you?" "Yeah I guess. I just don't get it. Why did Taker do it? Why did he cheat on me? Did he intend for me to find him and Sanders in bed together or was that not in his big plan? Has he been cheating on me all of this time? And if so how come I didn't know it?" I am crying harder by the time I finish asking all of these questions and I look into Jeff's green eyes to see that he is crying too. "I'm sorry Jeff. I didn't mean to make you cry." Jeff sniffles and laughs. He hugs me and we both start laughing at our sorry state. We both look horrible. Jeff pulls away after a few minutes and pulls me into the bathroom. He hands me a washcloth and I run it over my face while he splashes water onto his. After we dry our faces off, Jeff looks up at me mischievously. "Okay Jeff, what is it?" "Do you want to get out of here?" "And go where?" "I don't know. I know that there is an amusement park down the road and I haven't spent a lot of time with my daughter's since I've been back. Why don't you and I take them to the park and that way you and I can have some fun too?" I smile at his idea. It does sound like fun and I tell him so. We go and get the girls from Matt and Lance and head off to the amusement park. Takes place after pt. 37 of Confused I sit through breakfast and watch as Sean and Jeff fawn all over each other. The pathetic thing is I'm not even jealous of them. I am so happy that they are back together and working things out. I smile at Jeff's girls and they grin. They are so thrilled to have their dad and Sean back together. I don't blame them. I look around the small hotel restaurant and sigh. I miss Taker. I know that what he did he did on purpose but I still love him. I can't explain it to anyone including myself. I jump when I feel a hand land on my shoulder. I look up into the brown eyes of Bret Hart. He smiles at me and sits down. "Hey Chuck. How's it going?" "Hey Bret. Pretty good I guess. How about with you?" "Good. Those two back together for good?" I nod. I know that Bret has a crush on Jeff so I don't expect what he says next. "I'm glad. Those two were made for each other. How are things between you and Taker?" I look away and answer him. "They're not. He's been sleeping with Sanders." Bret places his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Chuck. I didn't know." "It's okay Bret." He smiles at me and I have to smile back. This man is a legend and so gorgeous. An idea occurs to me and I lean over to Bret and whisper in his ear. He looks at me in surprise and I can't blame him. I shocked myself. I nod letting him know that I was serious. Bret smiles and nods his head. "If you're sure about this Chuck, then I'll do it." I sit on the bed in my room and wait impatiently. Part of me is positive that this is exactly what I want. But part of me thinks that this is a horrible idea and that I should just forget about it. For the first time in months, I am not sharing my room with anyone. I wanted it that way although I had a hell of a time explaining why to Jeff and Sean. I know they want the best for me but I need to do this. I didn't tell them the truth. I just told them that I thought that I should start sleeping in my own room. They bought it when I added that Jeff should have his girls and not me rooming with him. After all Lance and Matt need some time together without Jeff's girls in the way. But now I am sitting here waiting for Bret to show up. I know that Taker and Mike are in the next room over. I just hope that Bret gets here soon so that Taker and Mike don't fall asleep. I know that what I have planned is cruel but I need this payback. I really need this as payback. I know that Taker probably won't care but I have to go through with it. I'm glad that Bret agreed to this. He's the only one I can think of who might actually make Taker mad. I nearly jump out of my skin when there is a knock on the door. I get shakily to my feet and walk over to the door. I open it and smile at Bret. He grins back. "Sorry I'm late Chuck. I was on the phone with my family." "It's okay. Bret are you sure you want to go through with this?" He nods. "I know that you are still in love with Taker, Chuck but I think you are beautiful. I want this. I want you even if it is just for tonight." "What about Jeff? I thought you were in love with him?" "I was never in love with Hardy. He's a child. Okay never mind you're not that much older than he is. But I adore Jeff. He's a gorgeous guy and very sweet. I wanted to get to know him better. That's all." I smile. I don't know why that makes me so happy but it does. He looks at me and I feel rather than see his eyes looking down my body. I'm only wearing a pair of jeans and I know he can tell how hard I am already. I look over his well-muscled body and groan out loud. Our eyes meet and I feel the heat rising in my face. He smiles at me and pulls me closer. I close my eyes as our lips meet. His are so soft and he tastes so good. Our bodies are pressed tightly against each other and I can feel every muscle in his chest. I can also feel his hardness pressed against my thigh. I never realized that I am slightly taller than he is. He's pushing me backward towards the bed and I fall backwards when my knees hit the edge. He's on top of me and suddenly the entire thing takes on an urgency that I have never felt before. I NEED to feel him inside of me. He kisses me urgently and I can feel his hands all over my body. I gasp when one hand brushes against my denim-covered cock. He smiles at me when he pulls away. He yanks off his shirt and I lay there watching him undress. He's even more beautiful without his clothing. He leans over once he's naked and kisses my neck. He licks his way down my chest and dips his tongue into my navel. I buck up off the bed until Bret holds me down. He pulls away and I moan from the loss of heat his mouth had created. He smiles down at me and whispers, "You're going to have to be much louder if you want to make Taker jealous." Bret grins and unbuttons my jeans. He tugs them down my hips and raises an eyebrow at me. "No underwear Chuck? In a hurry?" I giggle and nod my head. He laughs and it's the greatest sound. He works my jeans off the rest of the way and lies down on top of me. "Tell me what you want sweetheart." So I tell him that I want him buried inside of me. It's not long before he has been screaming his name and begging for my release. It's not until after he's laying next to me asleep that I realize that I didn't do this to make Taker jealous or even get back at him. Once Bret got here I barely gave Taker a single thought. I did this because for the first time since I found Taker with Mike, I wanted another man. I don't think its love. I don't see how it can be. Bret's a great guy but he's way too old for me. Come to think of it so was Taker. I don't know what happens next but I do know that I am going to be just fine. I have Sean and Jeff and Jeff's girls. Friends who love me and care about me. How can things not be okay with all of that going for me? THE END |
