| Chapter 22 Back to 3rd person That night at the arena �But daddy why do you have to go out with Bret? I thought you and Sean had worked everything out?� Elisabeth whines as she watches her dad get dressed for his date. �Elisabeth, I am sick and tired of explaining this to you. Yes I care about Sean and yes I want to be with him but I made this date with Bret before Sean and I made up. So I can�t back out of it. It wouldn�t be right. Besides, I though you liked Bret.� Jeff says, exasperated. �I do like Bret but I don�t want him to be part of our family.� Elisabeth says turning her back on her father. Jeff sighs. �Listen, monster, I know that you want me and Sean to be like your uncles Matt and Lance but Sean and I need time. Or rather he needs time. And I can�t back out on Bret. It wouldn�t be fair to him would it?� Jeff smiles as Elisabeth nods slowly. �Okay then. I promise tomorrow night you and I will go to the movies by ourselves okay?� �Okay Daddy.� She smiles up at her dad sadly. He grins at her. �What is it now monster?� �I just think you and Sean should spend some time together. Alone. Uncle Matt and Uncle Lance can watch us. They won�t mind.� Jeff laughs at his little girls determination. �I�m sure they wouldn�t. But you and I haven�t had a movie night in a long time. And I went with both of your sisters two weeks ago. So it�s your turn. Sean can watch your sisters.� �Or Uncle Matt and Uncle Lance can watch them & Sean can come with us?� Elisabeth says, excited about the idea. Jeff nods his head and says �Okay but you have to ask him.� Elisabeth nods frantically and runs off to find Sean. Jeff watches her go, smiling to himself. He jumps when he feels a hand clamp over his mouth. �Shhhh. Keep your mouth shut and I won�t have to hurt you. Now be a good boy and hand me your bandanna.� Jeff shakes his head as he tries frantically to see who is holding him captive. The grip around his waist gets stronger the more Jeff struggles, as does the grip on his mouth. �Knock it off rainbow before I have to hurt you. Now hand me the fucking bandanna.� Jeff tries in vain to recognize the voice. He struggles a little more and then grunts in pain when he feels a fist connect with the back of his head. He blacks out right after he feels the floor rushing up to meet him. Chapter 23 Sean is laughing at something Elisabeth said as he walks into Jeff�s dressing room. He looks around puzzled for a minute. �Where�d your dad go? You said he was in here right?� Elisabeth shrugs. �He was in here. Maybe Bret came to take him out already?� Sean nods his head and sets the little girl down. �Come on munchkin. Let�s go get your sister�s and then we can all go out for ice cream or something.� Elisabeth grins up at him and they head for the door. �Hey Bret. Where�s Jeff?� �How would I know? I just got here.� �What do you mean you just got here?� �I mean I�m late picking Jeff up because Vinnie Mac wanted to talk to me about my angle. Why Sean? Isn�t he in there?� �No. He�s not. He probably went to hang out with his girls or something.� Sean forces back the jealousy that had reared its ugly head when he had caught sight of Bret. Together the three walk into the daycare looking around for Jeff. �Hey Mick. Is Jeff here?� �No. Why? I thought he had a date tonight anyway?� �He did. I mean does. It�s with Bret here. Hmmmm. I wonder where he went? This isn�t like Jeff. Mick watch the girls for me?� �Of course. Sean you don�t think�.� Mick trails off not wanting to voice his fears. Sean takes a deep breath before answering. �I hope not.� He looks at Bret who wordlessly follows him back to Jeff�s dressing room. They search the room looking for clues. Finding nothing Sean loses his temper and starts throwing things around. Bret gets out of his way and let�s the young man let loose his anger. Bret finally stops him when he notices a dark spot on the carpet where Sean had just thrown a bench from. �What?� Sean growls at the older man. Bret shakes his head and points out the dark spot. Sean kneels and runs his hands over it. He pulls his hand away from the carpet and fights back his instinct to gag at the coppery smell of blood. He glares up at the older man standing above him. Bret looks like he�s going to pass out so Sean shoves him to a seat on a nearby bench. He stands up and not even wiping the blood from his hand calls down the hall for Taker, Chuck, Kane and Kevin. They come rushing into the room and take in the mess Sean had made. Kevin steps forward. �What happened?� Sean looks up at him with a wild animal look to his eyes. �Jeff�s blood. And he�s nowhere to be found.� The young man growls. Kevin looks down at Sean�s hand and hears the other men gasp. He growls and turns away, feeling nauseous. Sean spins the bigger man back around and says �We have to find him. Now.� Kevin nods� fighting back the bile that is rising in his throat. �Let�s go then.� They all head out the door and split up to search the arena. Chapter 24 Sean sits dejectedly on a bench in Jeff�s room. He looks up expectantly as Bret and the others file in looking just as upset. He loses his temper again and starts throwing furniture. Taker goes to grab him but Chuck stops him with a hand on his arm. He speaks softly. �Don�t Taker. Let Sean get his temper out on the furniture. Better it than us. And although I know he�s smaller than you, he was a pro boxer and a pro kickboxer as well as an ultimate fighting champion. He can seriously hurt you. So please baby don�t.� Taker looks down at his young lover and nods silently. All of them watch in shock as Sean breaks a metal chair over an empty locker and then puts his fist through a wooden bench. He stands there growling as they all watch the blood drip from his torn knuckles. Chuck watches his eyes carefully and when he determines it safe to approach the younger man he gently takes Sean hand and starts cleaning it. Sean hisses at the burning in his hand. Chuck cleans and dresses the wound and then ushers everyone else out of the room. He turns back to Sean a stern look on his face. �Okay I let you freak out but Seanie this isn�t going to help Jeff. I know it makes you feel better,� Chuck says effectively cutting off any protest the younger man might have. �But it does not help Jeff. And you know what, if you go to his girls with your hand all bloody and your eyes wild and crazed, you are only going to scare them. Sean I know you love him. But you gotta try to control your temper.� Sean looks at his friend and starts to speak. �I know that Chuck. But if I don�t get angry I am going to break down. And quite frankly I don�t know which one will frighten people more.� Chuck looks at Sean sympathetically and wraps the younger man into an embrace. �Let it out Sean. You�ll feel better and I�m the only one who will see what you do.� Sean tries to pull away which proves to be a futile effort. He starts to cry softly which turns quickly into full on sobbing. Chuck holds the crying man until Sean can no longer cry. He pulls away from Chuck and smiles thinly. �Sorry man.� Sean sniffs and wipes at the tears slipping down his face still. Chuck smiles back at him and takes him into the bathroom to get the younger man cleaned up. They come out of Jeff�s locker room and Sean looks much better. Taker and the others look silently at Chuck asking if Sean is okay. He nods and puts his hand on his friends shoulder. Sean looks up at Chuck and then at the others. �Guys we have to find Jeff. I don�t care what else happens if anyone hurts that boy so God help me I will kill them.� Taker looks at Sean and nods his head. �Sean I hope you know that we would do anything for Jeff. Most of us here have been friends with Jeff since he joined the fed.� Taker pauses as the other guys nod their heads. �Now what we need to do is figure out where would Jeff go if he went on his own accord?� �That�s the thing. He wouldn�t leave his girls without saying goodbye to all of them and since Elisabeth was with me I know he didn�t say goodbye to her. Someone took him. That is the only answer.� Kane growls and turns to look down the hallway spotting a nosy Eric Bischoff listening to their conversation. Sean is after him like a shot, taking him down in a matter of seconds. �What the fuck did you do to Jeff you bastard?� Sean asks his voice dangerously low and even. Eric tries to speak but can�t because Sean�s hands are cutting the air off. Chuck reaches the two men first. �Sean let him go. He can�t tell us anything if you make him pass out or worse. Please Sean this isn�t helping Jeff.� Chuck steps back when Sean turns his angry growl on him. Sean nods and lets go of Eric�s throat. He steps back and Kevin steps up, grabbing the man by the collar and lifting him up against the wall. Sean steps forward and look menacingly into the older man�s eyes. �Tell me what you did with Jeff you sick bastard.� �Nothing. I didn�t touch Jeff I swear.� Sean acts without thinking and throws his fist towards the older man. Kevin is too slow to move him out of the way and Sean�s fist connects with Eric�s nose, breaking it. Blood pouring from his nose Eric looks up at Sean terrified. �I swear to god Sean, I didn�t touch Jeff. Please don�t hurt me. Please.� Chuck places a gentle hand on Sean�s arm and the young man turns to look at him. �What?� He growls out. �Seanie, Eric doesn�t know anything. Look at him. He�s too much of a coward to try and kidnap Jeff. And he doesn�t know who did it or he would have told you by now. Please baby calm down.� Sean looks at Chuck and takes a deep breath. He turns back to Eric, his voice dripping with venom. �If I find out you know anything and didn�t tell me, I will hunt you down and then I will hurt you.� Eric nods as Kevin sets him on the ground. He takes off quickly and disappears down the hall. Everyone turns to Sean, not knowing what to expect. Chuck places an arm around the younger man�s shoulders and hugs him. Sean pushes him away. �Sean you need to calm down. You losing it every few minutes isn�t going to help find Jeff. Now who would want to kidnap Jeff?� Everyone looks at each other in silence trying to think of anyone who doesn�t like the charismatic young man. Suddenly a voice speaks up from behind them. �I think I might have a clue as to who took Jeff.� Chapter 25 Jeff�s POV I wake up feeling like someone hit me over the head with a sledge hammer. At first I don�t remember what happened to me but when I try to stretch out the kinks in my neck I realize I am tied up. The entire thing comes back to me in a flash. I open my eyes and look around, panicking. I try to speak but there is a gag in my mouth. The room where I am is dark, and smells like mold. I hate dark encloses spaces like this. I have never liked the dark all that much. I feel something crawl across my leg and look down. I have to bite back a scream when I see the huge rat crawling over me. At least it isn�t a snake or something worse I move my legs and the animal scurries off. I try to figure out how long I have been there but with out a clock or something it�s impossible to tell. Oh god my girls. What about my girls? Thank god they have Sean and the other guys to look out for them. The door opens up and I blink at the light from the other room. I see the silhouette of a rather large man standing in the doorway and try to figure out who it is. He steps into the room and I gasp. I must be seeing things. There is no way that he would do this to me. We are friends. At least I thought we were. I can�t believe that Test would do this to me. I gasp even louder when I see Albert step into the room. I hear them speaking softly but I can�t make out the words. I watch helplessly as Test approaches the bed and climbs on top of me. It�s then when I realize that I have no clothes on. He rubs his hands up and down my body repulsing me. He grabs my cock which makes me try to move away but I can�t move away as Albert has me pinned to the bed. Luckily for me, my body behaves itself and doesn�t react to his touch. It doesn�t stop him from forcing a finger into me. I scream, not that it makes much difference. Albert slaps me and I realize that�s why my head hurt so much. He must have been the one to kidnap me. Thank god he waited until Elisabeth had gone after Sean. Oh lord. Sean. He has to be freaking out. And with his temper� Jesus I hope he doesn�t hurt anyone too badly, including himself. My mind snaps back to my present situation when I feel the tip of Test�s dick at my entrance. Oh Jesus this is not how I wanted my first time to be. He forces into my body and I sob from the pain. Jesus this hurts. I can�t believe how much it hurts. He thrusts relentlessly into me. How can he do this to me? Damn Test is one of my closest friends. Why is he doing this to me? I just don�t understand. Friends don�t do this to each other. I feel him come in my ass. I can feel the tears flowing down my face and I try to hide them from him but he pulls my face up so that we are inches apart. He grins maliciously and shoves me back onto the bed. He pulls out and god that hurts as much as anything. He leaves me there bleeding profusely and he laughs as he heads out the door. Albert is still in the room and I hear Test say something but I don�t know what�s wrong with me because I can�t hear him. Albert nods and then releases me. I try to curl up But Albert pins me to the bed again. I cry out through the gag as he enters me. He�s rougher and bigger than Test was and not nearly as gentle. He comes quickly, thank god but when he pulls out I can feel the blood between my legs. I desperately want to pass out but am unable. He leaves the room and it looks like he is laughing at me but I still can�t hear anything. I finally fall asleep. I wake up the next morning and am a little surprised to find myself untied. I stretch which feels really good and look around the dingy, dank room. I stand up, a little woozy from the loss of blood and sore as hell but other than that I actually feel fine. I head towards where the door was and reach for the handle. I turn it but nothing happens. I push and pull and finally realize why I can�t make it budge. I am locked in. Albert and Test must have untied me and then locked me in so I couldn�t escape. I hope my little girls are all right. I hope Sean is all right. I bite back a sob at the thought of him and my girls but I know he will take care of them for me. I can trust him. I just hope he finds me soon. Chapter 26 Sean�s POV I look at Lance and try not to hurt him. I know he loves Matt and would never hurt Jeff but my first instinct seems to be to hit first ask question later. I can feel Chuck�s hand on my arm which is reassuring but I still lock my gaze on Lance and say �What do you know about what happened to Jeff?� �Not a lot man. But you�re right Sean. Jeff would never leave without saying goodbye to his girls. But all that aside has anyone seen Shawn Michaels. Last I heard he was really pissed at Jeff for turning him down on their date. He might be looking to get revenge.� I can see the muscles twitching in Lance�s jaw which means he�s as pissed as I am. I turn on my heel without saying a word and head for Shawn�s locker room. I don�t bother knocking. I throw open the door and grab him by the throat. �What the fuck did you do to Jeff you son of a bitch? Where is he?� I can feel Chuck standing behind me and I am so grateful that he is with me on this. Shawn tries to speak but I can feel myself choking him. I know I should let go but I just hate this man so much and the thought that he might have hurt the man I love is killing me. Chuck�s grip on my arm tightens and I know what he�s telling me without him having to say it again. I drop Shawn and he falls on his ass. I want to laugh at the image but am afraid it will come out more like a sob than anything. I step back and see Kevin step up. He towers over his friend and growls at Shawn. �Dammit Shawn so help me god if you had anything to do with Jeff disappearing I will hurt you.� Shawn looks up at him as shocked as the rest of us feel. He manages to speak. �I didn�t touch Jeff. I haven�t even seen him since he turned me down the other night. And what do you mean Jeff disappeared? To where?� �Gee genius let me think. We don�t know where he is. That�s why we say he disappeared. You haven�t seen him?� Chuck asks him and I look at him grateful yet again that he is here for this. Shawn shakes his head. �I�m sorry. I don�t have any clue as to where he is. Have you checked with Matt maybe he know�..� Shawn trails off as he catches sight of Matt�s husband standing in the room with us. Lance looks at me as if for permission. I nod my head and he approaches Shawn. I watch with a smile as he flattens the so called Heart Break Kid. I turn around to leave and bump into Test. He nods at me and I nod back. He grabs my arm and says �Hey have you seen Jeff anywhere? I was looking for him earlier. I wanted to know if he wanted to go out for a drink.� �Jeff�s missing Test. I have no clue where he is or who took him.� �God I am so sorry Sean. Listen I�ll keep my eyes and ears open for you and let you know if I hear anything okay?� �That would be really appreciated. Thanks man.� Test and I shake hands and he walks away slowly. I watch as he disappears around the corner. Something was different about him but for the life of me I have no idea what it is. I shake away the cobwebs and head back down the hallway Chuck and Taker flanking my sides. We must look like a really weird gang stalking down the halls side by side with Bret, Kane and the others trailing us. We barge into Vince�s office and take seats. He looks at us and I can tell he�s angry. I try not to get angry but when he yells at us to leave and knock before we come back I lose it again. Chuck pulls the others out of harms way which if I thought about it I would laugh my ass off. I stand up and pick up the chair I was sitting on. I throw it above Vince�s head missing him by mere inches. I watch as it shatters into tiny pieces. I see Chuck grab the owners hand and pull him out from behind the desk. I vaguely hear him tell Vince what�s going on but I don�t really care at this point. I tip the desk which wasn�t an easy task. I feel the skin on my knuckles pull apart. It hurt like a bitch but only serves to make me angrier. I pick up another chair and throw it with all my might I look around for something else to destroy and that�s when I realize that everyone has disappeared save Chuck and Taker. I look at the man who is my best friend and try desperately not to cry. Taker looks away. I guess he knows what I am about to do. When Chuck hugs me I break. The sobs and tears start flowing and don�t seem capable of stopping. Chuck pulls me down onto the floor with him and just keeps holding me while I cry. I feel bad about this but I can�t make myself stop. Oh god I hope that wherever he is Jeff is okay. I love him so much and all I want is too find out if he�s okay. I let Chuck keep holding me and wish that it was Jeff in his position. That came out wrong. What I meant was I wish it was Jeff holding me right now, not that I want Chuck to be kidnapped. He can sense that something is wrong so he pulls back, looking at me. �Sean what is it baby?� I swallow a sob as I answer him. �I miss him so much. I know he hasn�t been gone that long but I don't know what I�ll do without him Chuck. And what about his girls? What will they do without their dad?� Chuck looks at me and shrugs. He pulls me back into his embrace and we stay that way for several minutes. We pull apart only when we hear Taker clearing his throat. I look up at him as does Chuck. I smile at the look of love that passes between the two. He speaks up softly. �We should go alert the police to Jeff�s disappearance. And Sean you should go tell Jeff�s girls.� I nod slowly. I know he�s right but I hate to think of how those girls will react. I pull myself to my feet and watch as Taker pulls Chuck to his. They embrace and I smile softly. They are so sweet together. I walk out of the room telling them to meet me in the day care center. They nod. I leave wishing that Jeff was here so that I didn�t have to do it. Chapter 27 I walk into the daycare center and Jeff�s girls rush me. I have never been more scared of anyone�s reaction then I am right now. The girls all hug me and I can tell they are worried because they know I�m not here to take them with me. I tell them as gently as I can about what is going on. Elisabeth looks at me with worry in her eyes. God she has her daddy�s eyes. �Sean, you�ll get him back right? Promise me you�ll get him back.� �I promise that I will do everything and anything to find your daddy.� Angie looks up with tears in her eyes. �Sean what happened to your hand?� Marie adds her two cents in. �Yeah why is there a bandage on it? Do you have a boo boo?� I try not to laugh. I nod slowly and then watch with a sad smile on my face as all three girls kiss my hand trying to make it feel better. They climb onto my lap and hug me. I hear one of them start crying and then the other two join in. I am so relieved to see Chuck and Taker. I smile when Chuck takes one of the girls and then my smile gets a little wider when Taker takes another one. Thank god for friends like these. The girls finally stop crying and Taker, Chuck and I stand up and head for the door. I watch as Elisabeth comes up and yanks on the hem of Chuck�s shirt. Taker and I watch as she asks him a question, which we can�t hear. I smile when I see Jeff�s little girl throw her arms around Chuck�s neck and hug him. She kisses his cheek and he stands up. I smile and the frown when I remember where we are going. We get to Vince�s office and I pick up the phone with a heavy heart. I speak quickly and am told that a squad car is on its way. So now we wait. I have never been a very patient person so I am up and pacing within several minutes after the call. We are joined by Matt and Lance. Lance just watches me pace and Matt looks like he is trying not to cry. I catch Matt looking at me and I stop. �Matt, I�.. I am so sorry that I let this happen to Jeff. I swear to you I will find him no matter what it takes.� Matt gets to his feet and approaches me. �You think this is your fault? It�s not Sean. It�s no ones fault. Whoever took Jeff obviously got the upper hand or else he would be sitting here right now and none of us would be wanting to bawl our eyes out. So do me a favor and stop blaming yourself. The only person who deserves any blame is the person who kidnapped Jeff. And I want you to promise me something else. No matter who it is I want you to promise me you will not kill them.� I can�t promise him that and he knows it. I shake my head and try desperately not to cry. And I know he�s wrong. It is my fault. It has to be my fault. Because of it isn�t my fault then I really will kill whoever took Jeff. I look down at Matt and the other�s who are all looking at me with such pity that I can�t stand it any longer. I run out of the room and down the hall. I have absolutely no clue as to where I am going but I just keep running. I run until I am outside the arena. I stop for a minute to get my bearings. I see Shane and Shannon coming towards me with Jericho and Benoit. I know they are going to ask me about Jeff so I head in the opposite direction. At this point I don�t really care where I end up. All I want is to get away from all the whispers and the pitying glances. I run until my legs give out. I look around and realize I have no clue where I am. Taking a deep breath and trying to still my rapidly beating heart I notice something familiar about this place. It takes me a few minutes to figure it out but I realize finally that this is the neighborhood where Test lives. I look at the houses trying to figure out which house was his. Last time I was here, it was daytime and I wasn�t paying attention to what was happening. I finally spot a house that looks similar to his and head towards it. I need to sit down and figure that Test is just about the only person around here and maybe he can give me a ride back to the arena. I knock on the door an am not that surprised to see Albert open the door. Everyone in the fed knows that those two have something going on between them. I try to ask him if I can come in when I hear a yell. The voice sounds suspiciously like Jeff�s. I look towards the sound and then my world goes dark. Chapter 28 Jeff�s POV �FUCKING A! GODAMMIT ALBERT WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?� �HE HEARD JEFF SCREAMING WHAT THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?� �GEE I DON�T KNOW YOU FUCKING IDIOT. LIE? Jesus Christ our asses are gonna be in trouble when he finds out about this. I mean we were supposed to take Jeff, not Jeff�s little boyfriend. Fuck me gently with a chainsaw! How the hell are we going to be able to keep both of them quiet?� �Well, you�re the fucking genius who took Jeff�s gag off. Jesus Christ Test, don�t stand there like a fucking moron blaming me. This is as much your fault as anyone�s. Now dammit help me move this idiots big ass into the other room.� I am as quiet as I can possibly be as I listen to Test and Albert argue. My boyfriend??? Who could they be talking��Oh shit. Sean. Not Sean. The door opens and Albert and Test walk in carrying a body between them. I can tell just from looking at it that it�s Sean. They lay him on the bed next to me and I immediately crawl over to make sure he�s all right. It hurts like hell to move. They and another man came in a little bit ago and raped me again only this time I couldn�t tell who it was. He was fucking huge though. I check Sean�s pulse to make sure he is breathing and then glare at Test and Albert. These guys are supposed to be my friends. Why are they doing this? And who is that other man? I have way to many questions and not nearly enough answers. Test looks back at me as they close the door. He looks sad. That bastard has no right to feel sad about this. I look back at Sean and want to cry. Why did they have to involve him? Since his pulse, although a bit rapid, is fairly normal, I lay down next to him. I place my cheek on his shoulder and that�s when I realize that he is sweating like crazy. I need to get him out of these wet clothes before he gets sick but I don�t have anything to put him in. Maybe if I asked Test or Albert, they would have something�.What the hell am I thinking? They won�t help me out. I undress him and dry him off with my shirt. He's shivering by the time I finish drying him off. I don't know what to do. I am so scared. All of a sudden I remember in a flash that the best thing to keep another person warm is body heat. I quickly undress and, pulling the covers up behind me, I lay on top of him. He's so well built. I can feel myself getting hard and try to will my erection away. I finally give up and just snuggle into Sean's slightly chilled body. Chapter 29 Sean's POV I wake up with a pounding headache and a really warm hard body lying on top of me. My first thought was that I got drunk and had a one-night stand. But no...the body on top of me smells way to familiar. I look down and gasp, waking Jeff up. He yawns and smiles at me. "Good morning Sean. At least I think it's morning." I look around the room instead of answering and that's when I realize that it wasn't a horrible dream. Jeff really was kidnapped and it looks like I got my own ass in some major trouble. "Jeff, baby where are we? I don't remember anything that happened." "Umm you were attacked by Albert and Test as near as I can tell. Baby, how's your head?" I can't help but smile over the concern in his voice. He's the one who was kidnapped and he's worried about me? No wonder I love this man. I reach up and caress his face trying not to cry because he looks like he's been beaten up several times. He pulls away and I know that one of those bastards touched him. I'll kill them the minute I get the chance. He slides off of me and sits down, his knees in his chest and his head on his knees. I get that urge to hurt someone so I wrap my arms around Jeff and pull him to me. "I love you Jeff. I have been so worried about you. Have they hurt you?" Jeff doesn't speak but only nods his head. I grind my teeth in an effort not to punch the wall or something. Of course that makes my head ache worsen. I hold him closer and try not to scream, even though I desperately want to. I need to speak so I whisper in his ear. "I love you so much baby. I promise you that I will not let those bastards touch you again." He nods and I am helpless as tears slide down his cheek. I should have been here. I should have protected him better. I should have�my thoughts trail off as a sob escapes Jeff. I hold him close and lay back onto the bed. He snuggles into me and I sigh. I love him so much and I allowed him to be hurt. I am so confused. I just don't know what to do. I am at a loss for words and when Jeff snuggles closer, I close my eyes against the onslaught of feelings that wash over me. I listen as Jeff's breathing evens out. I slide out from under him and sit on the edge of the bed. It's then that I realize that I am naked. Looking back at Jeff, my cock springs to attention instantly as I realize that he also naked. He is so beautiful, I can't help but touch him. I reach over and run my hand down his side. He shudders beneath my touch. I pull away. I don't want to hurt him. He whimpers in his sleep and then screams before sitting straight up. I watch in shock, as he looks around frantically. His eyes fall on me and he sobs. I hold open my arms and he all but falls into them. I hold him while he sobs out his story. I get angrier and angrier as I hear that those sick bastards raped my precious love. He must be able to feel my anger because he starts rubbing circles on my back trying to calm me down. It works and I love the way his hands feel on my back. I love the way he feels pressed against me. I know he can feel my erection pressed into his hip but he won't pull away. I don't get it, I must be frightening him but he won't pull away. I gasp when his hands move to my chest. He rubs my chest and my stomach and starts to move lower. I grab his hand and force him to look into my eyes. "I'm sorry Sean. I should have realized that you didn't want me anymore." He pulls away from me and crawls under the covers. I move to lie next to him. "Jeff, I love you. And I want you desperately. But you have been abused and I don't want you to think that you need to do this to prove that you still care about me. I know that you do. But I don't want to frighten you by making love to you. Not here and not now. Please understand that this is not a rejection of you. I love you Jeff and I am dying to touch you, to love you, to feel you but�." I am cut off when Jeff kisses me. I want to pull away but he tastes so good. I love how he tastes. I can feel him shiver so I pull him closer. I don't want to break the kiss unless he asks me to. He scoots closer so I assume he doesn't want to stop kissing. I feel his hand run over my torso. I want to stop him but I don't want him to feel rejected. I gasp when he grabs my cock. He strokes it into further erectness. When he pushes me onto my back I try to stop him. He slides down my body and captures the tip of my cock in his mouth. I pull him up to meet me and look into his eyes. "Jeff, baby, you don't have to do this. It doesn't matter to me. I don't care about this." "I want to Sean. I want this. To prove that�. Hell, I don't know. I just know that I want this�I want you�. Unless you tell me no. Then I won't." He looks at me sadly and I pull him to my mouth for a kiss. He kisses me back and rubs our cocks together. I feel like I am ready to come from that slight touch alone. He pulls away from me and slides back down my body. When his mouth surrounds my cock, it takes all of my strength not to thrust into that warm moistness. I look down and Jeff appears to be enjoying himself. He's sucking and licking at me and whimpering all the while. I can feel myself getting harder. The tingling in my balls tells me I am about to come so I try to pull Jeff off me to no avail. He just sucks harder. I try not to but I can't help myself. I come in his mouth, shooting burst after burst of my seed into his mouth. He swallows every drop and then continues to milk me dry. He licks me clean afterwards and makes his way up my body. He kisses me and I am reminded of how erotic my come tastes in his mouth. He rubs his hips against mine and I am shocked to feel myself getting hard. I usually can't go that quickly again. It's got to be Jeff. He starts to slide down my body again but I stop him. I roll him over so that I am lying on top of him. I kiss him softly and slowly kiss my way down his small, smooth body. I can hear him mewling and I feel him arching into my touch. I reach his belly button and gently grab the ring in my teeth. I worry the ring until he is ready to come apart from the softest of touches. I can feel his erection pressed into my chest and it takes every ounce of will power I have to not swallow him whole. I kiss the tip and dart my tongue out desperate to taste him. He tastes like warm honey and I have to close my eyes against the flood of sensations his taste brings about in me. I cup his balls in one hand and start to roll them. He arches off the bed and moans. "Sean...please�I need�." His train of thought is derailed as I suck the tip of his cock into my mouth. He tastes like heaven and I slide my mouth gently down the shaft, making Jeff whimper. He arches into my mouth and I can feel him grab the back of my head as he tries to force himself deeper into my mouth. I swallow him until my nose is buried in the soft hair surrounding his cock. I slide my mouth off of him and then take him back into my throat. He thrusts into my mouth a few more times and then I can feel his warm seed coating my throat. I swallow until he has been milked dry. He is panting as I lick him clean. I move up his body and kiss him softly. He takes the kiss deeper. We fight for control and he actually manages to over power me. I find myself on my back and he is pulling away. He is sitting on my stomach and I know I am still hard. He has to be feeling it against his ass but instead of pulling away he grinds his ass against my cock. I swallow, trying not to just grab him and force myself on him. He looks at me lovingly and then lies on top of me, his mouth close to my ear. "Sean, will you make love to me? Please? I want�No I need to feel you inside me. I know this isn't exactly the kind of place where you had this pictured but I need you. Please Sean?" His voice is so soft and scared that I relent. I really hope this doesn't backfire on me. I roll us over again and for lack of anything else to use as lube I suck my own fingers into my mouth covering them with my spit. I insert one finger into him, slow and gentle. His body is tight and I can tell he's tense so I start to whisper to him. It's mostly nonsense but it soothes him enough that he isn't in too much pain from my finger being inside of him. He encourages me to add another finger so I do. He's so tight; I can't wait to be inside of him. I do stay patient though and gently add another finger. With three finger's in him, I think he's ready but I still just finger fuck him until he is begging me to replace my fingers with my cock. I know now that I can never refuse him anything, ever again. I spit into my hand and he spits in his. Together we cover my cock with our spit. Under most circumstances I would be completely grossed out by this but because it is Jeff, I find it incredibly beautiful. I slowly inch my way inside his tight, hot sheath. He moans and I check his face to make sure he's not hurting. I can't decipher the look on his face so I ask him if he's in pain. He looks at me in disbelief and shakes his head in answer. I am encouraged, so I slide all the way in. I prop myself over him and wait a few minutes. I spend the time kissing his face, his neck and his shoulders. He moans and I smile at the sound. When I feel him move against me I raise myself up a little and withdraw slowly from him. As I am sliding back into his tightness, I can feel his legs wrap around my waist. He takes me deeper and I whimper from the feel of him surrounding my hardness. I slide in and out a few more times trying to get him used to the feel. He moans and I can feel his heels digging into my ass. I withdraw and start to move faster. He apparently likes what I am doing because he is writhing and moaning and actually begging me to go faster. I can't help but oblige him, partially because it's what he wants and partially because I need to. He moves his body in rhythm with mine and my hand grasps his cock gently. I start to stroke him in time with my thrusts. Soon, he is coming over my hand and I follow by spilling my seed inside of him. I collapse on top of him, careful not to have him baring too much of my weight. I gasp for air and I can hear him doing the same as I slide out of his body. It's not until I am lying next to him and have pulled Jeff into my arms that I realize that he wasn't gasping for air. He was crying. I hold him tighter and start to apologize. I knew it was too soon for us to be making love. I can hear his sobs subside and I pull back. His face is tearstained as he looks up at me. "Oh god Jeff. I never meant to hurt you. Why didn't you stop me from hurting you baby?" Jeff laughs and I look at him in disbelief. He smiles and caresses my cheek. "You didn't hurt me Sean. I was crying because that was the most beautiful thing I have ever been a part of. I love you so much." He snuggles into my chest leaving me dumbfounded and at a loss for words. I can hear him fall asleep. As his breathing evens out, I hold him closer and close my eyes. Sleep is a long time coming but it finally does claim me. Chapter 30 Jeff's POV I wake up hours later and feel Sean's arms wrapped around me. I snuggle closer, loving the way he feels underneath my body. I sigh happily and think back on last night. I thought I would be scared but amazingly enough, knowing that it was Sean inside of me, that it was him making love to me, I wasn't scared at all. Now if only we can get the hell out of here and back to my family and our friends, things will be all good. At least I hope so. Sean's awake. I know because he just pulled me closer to him. My leg is slung across his hips and I can feel his cock getting hard. If I didn't know better, I'd swear this situation was making him horny. Course it probably doesn't help that my hard on is pressed into his hip. He doesn't seem to mind much as he just holds me close to him. He's the first to speak. "Jeff, baby? Are you feeling okay?" "Of course I am Sean. I feel really good considering all the shit that has happened over the past few days. Now, what are we going to do about getting the hell out of here and back to our family." He's silent for a few minutes. "I don't know baby. But is there any way out of this room other than the door?" "Not that I am aware of. I have searched or at least tried to. They�." I trail off knowing that he'll get mad if I talk about being raped. It honestly doesn't bother me now that I know he's here. I know he'll protect me. He holds me closer and I kiss his chest softly. "Baby, we need to get out of here." I nod against his chest. I am in total agreement that we need to get out of here. He sits up taking me with him. He pulls me onto his lap and I cuddle up against him. He holds me for a while and then we both get out of bed. I lead him into the small bathroom that holds only a toilet and a sink. We both use the toilet and take turns trying to wash up using only the sink. He laughs at me trying to wash my hair. I shake my head and finish rinsing out my hair. Straightening up I shake my head, getting Sean all wet. I laugh at him and he picks me up, kissing me softly. "You are such a brat Jeffrey. I don't know why I love you. But I do." I smile at him and kiss him back. He carries me effortlessly to the bed and lays me gently on my back. I smile encouragingly at him and he runs his hands over my body. I arch against his hand when it brushes across my cock. He grasps me gently and strokes me into complete erectness. I moan and he covers my mouth with his. He moves his mouth lower sucking on my neck. I am so close to losing control; it's scaring me. He seems to sense this because he moves lower and grips my belly ring in his teeth. He tugs gently and I whimper. I look down and see him grin up at me. Rolling my eyes, I grab the back of his head and pull him up to meet my lips for a kiss. We kiss passionately and his hands go wandering again. I smile against his mouth and guide one of his hands to my cock. The other hand I guide to my ass and he takes it from there. He kneads my ass and then proceeds to run his fingers down the crack. I arch into his hips, grinding our cocks against one another and he moans into my mouth. He kisses down my body and takes my cock into his mouth. He has a great mouth. He deep throats me easily and I whimper as he increases the suction around me. I feel a finger being inserted into me and I arch into him. His hand cups my sac and I am just about to come when the door is flung open. Three huge men walk through then door and one of them; I can't tell which grabs Sean and throws him up against the wall. I watch horrified as Sean slumps to the floor. Albert grabs me and has me pinned to the bed. Test handcuffs me to the bed and the other guy proceeds to rape me. I don't black out but I can't describe what's happening to me. I know what's happening but it's too horrifying to describe. I eventually black out from the pain and the loss of blood. Chapter 31 Back to 3rd person Sean wakes up to find himself alone in a different room. He tries to sit up but finds himself tied to a bed. He starts to yell but his voice is muffled. He tugs violently against his restraints until his wrists are dripping with blood. He ignores the pain and concentrates on trying to get out of his restraints. He ignores the tears that are falling down his face and he tugs on the bonds that are around his ankles. Soon, he is bleeding from his wrists and ankles. He stops tugging against them and laying his head back on the pillow he sobs. 'Some rescuer I am. First I seduce Jeff and then I can't even protect him from these assholes. I hope he's all right.' Meanwhile in another room Jeff wakes up and looks around groggily. His eyes fall on the tall stranger. He squints trying to figure out who the man is. He gasps when he realizes who it is. "You? But why? What have I ever done to make you do this?" "It's simple pet. I have wanted you for a long time. Now as long as you behave your self, I don't have to hurt your little lover. Now I know you don't want any harm to come to Sean now do you?" Jeff shakes his head slowly, looking worriedly at the large man standing in front of him. The big man nods his head. "See I knew you were a smart boy. Now, I am going to fuck you through that mattress and you are going to enjoy it." The large man stands up revealing his nudity and walks over to the bed. He climbs on top of Jeff and thrusts into the younger man. Jeff cries out in pain as the bigger man rapes him repeatedly. The tall man climbs off the bed and looks at Jeff in disgust. He snorts and leaves the room, leaving Jeff in a pool of his own blood, gasping for air. Chapter 32 Jeff's POV This chapter takes place one month after chapter 1 of Forever Love. I wake up in the middle of the night, scared and alone. It's a situation I am rapidly becoming used to. Lance stayed with me for a week straight after Sean and I were found. His presence was comforting but I was becoming too reliant on him. I look over at the spare bed and smile at Shannon Moore who is looking at me worriedly. I shake my head and he snuggles back into Chris Benoit's embrace. Benoit wakes up and looks at me. I smile and he goes back to sleep. Shanny smiles sheepishly and I watch them with a lump in my throat. How can I not be jealous that Shannon of all people has someone who loves him so much? I lay back down on the bed and close my eyes. I know sleep will evade me for the rest of the night. It always does after one of my nightmares. I listen to Shanny and Benoit's breathing and sigh. My mind drifts back in time to when Show and the other two were holding Sean and me captive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I look up apprehensively as Show enters the room with Sean, Test and Albert. Show shoves Sean in my direction and says laughingly, "I want to see you fuck him." Sean glares at the bigger man and shakes his head. "No fucking way. I won't fuck him. I'll make love to him but I will not touch him in anyway that isn't filled with love." Test walks over to me and points a gun at my head. "Do as Show said or I pull the trigger." Sean pales and looks at Show. Show grins maniacally at him and then leers at me. I shudder but am absolutely horrified when Sean climbs onto the bed and spreads my legs apart. Show speaks up. "On second thought, I don't want you to fuck him Sean. I want you to rape him. Move off the bed." Sean does as he's told, puzzled as to why. I think I know but the last time I tried to speak without being spoken too I was knocked out. Test nods his head and climbs on top of me. Sean protests this rather loudly and is backhanded for his efforts. He is seated in a chair where Show forces him to watch as Test rapes me. I am bleeding profusely as Test climbs off of me and places the gun at my temple again. Sean looks like he is about to cry as he climbs on the bed. I silently beg him to not do this but he won't look at me. He in fact flips me over so that I am on my knees. I cry out, in pain or fright or what, I don't know, as he thrusts into my already sore entrance. He thrusts in and out ignoring my pleas for him to stop. Show sits by encouraging him, telling him to go faster, to fuck me harder and as Test cocks the gun, Sean does as he is told. I can feel someone climb onto the bed with Sean and I and when I try to see who it is Test, who has moved onto the bed and is kneeling in front of me, shoves his dick into my mouth. I gag as he thrusts deep into my throat. After a few minutes he comes, forcing me to swallow his seed. Soon after that horrible experience I feel Sean's come flooding me. To think I actually enjoyed the way this felt the first time he touched me. Test climbs off the bed and signals to one of the other two men. I can feel the bed lift up as Sean and whoever else was on the bed climb off. All three men lead Sean from the room. I can't hold back my tears. I break down as the door closes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I sit up in bed gasping for air. I feel the hot tears coursing down my face but I don't pay attention to them. Shanny must have been woken up by my gasp because he is immediately next to me and holding me close. I sob as he holds me and I feel Benoit climb onto the bed as well. He takes Shannon and me into his arms and I can hear Shannon softly crying. I never meant to make my best friend cry. I feel horrible that Shannon is in tears because of me. I push him and Benoit away and run from the room. I run into the stair well and out the exit. I don't watch where I am going. I just run. Finally, I can't run anymore. I collapse on a bench in the middle of a park. I have no idea what city we are in so I don't know what the park's name is. I pull my knees to my chest and start to cry. I cry because I have made Shannon and Matt and even Lance cry. I cry because I was violated. I cry because I lost the one man I could ever truly love. I cry for my own loss of innocence. And I cry because I am so sick and tired of being afraid of my own shadow. I feel like hurting someone as much as I hurt but I don't think that is even possible. I stay out in the park for hours spending my time crying and thinking and wondering what happens next. I haven't even spent any time with my girls since I returned. I feel like total garbage for that but I don't want them to be around at night when I can only sleep for a few hours before I wake up screaming. Thank god Chuck and Taker are still helping Matt and Lance watch my girls. Of course now Benoit, Shanny, Shane and Kanyon have joined the group of baby-sitters. Meaning my girls and mine. And there's always Colette and Mick. They are more than willing to lend a hand whenever they are asked. And of course Jericho and DDP are eager to help with the girls. And I can't forget about Edge and Christian. Although they are my enemies on screen, they are two of my closest friends. And yet�. Lance is the only one who knows about what Sean did to me. Not counting Chuck and Taker of course. Sean told them. I don't know why but he did. Part of me is glad that he has Chuck and Taker. The other part�. Well the other part wishes that Sean were where the others are. In jail. I realize that's not a fair statement for me to make but every time I see him I am immediately terrified of what he'll do. I am afraid that he enjoyed forcing me and that he'll want to do it again. I really just wish that things could go back to the way they were before all of this happened. I wish that Sean had never stumbled upon Test's house. I wish that Show never existed. I wish� I wish for a lot of things that I will never get. I am forced from my trance like state by a hand on my shoulder. I jump up in a panic and try to fight back when I feel hands grip my shoulders. I look up absolutely terrified and into Shane Helms' face. The wave of relief that rushes over me literally brings me to my knees. I sink to the ground and Shane goes with me. I can feel his arms wrap around me and for the umpteenth time, I sob as he holds me. He finally picks me up and carries me back to the bench. I hear him talking to someone I assume is Kanyon. Usually, if Shane is around then Kanyon isn't far behind. I pull away from Shane after a few minutes, drying my tears. I smile sadly at him and he frowns. "Jeff are you all right babe?" "As all right as I can be. Is Shanny freaking out?" "Yeah, that's why Kanyon and I came after you. He called us up in tears because you ran away from him and Benny." I sniff and try not to smile. Shane grins at me and my face breaks. As the smile spreads slowly across my face, Kanyon sits next to me. "Hey kiddo." I turn around and smile at him. "Hey man." Kanyon throws an arm around me and smiles at me. "Come on. Let's get your butt back to Shanny and Benoit." I have to smile at this. I know I shouldn't have run out on Shanny. I knew he would worry. We walk back to the hotel, which was much closer than I thought. I guess I was running in circles or something. Just as the elevator doors are about to close a hand darts through preventing them from closing. Sean steps on the elevator and stops short when he sees me. He turns to get off the elevator but the door have already closed. I gasp for air and unconsciously step behind Shane and Kanyon for protection. They look at each other puzzled as to my behavior. Sean looks down at the floor nervously. He looks up suddenly and stares longingly at me. I avert my gaze and try to hide behind Shane and Kanyon. Chapter 33 Sean's POV I feel horrible about what I have done. I know in my heart that I didn't have a choice. I couldn't let Jeff die. But I also know I shouldn't have touched him the way I did. I can feel my heart breaking as he hides behind Shane and Kanyon. I hate that the love of my life is terrified of me but I don't know how to make it better. I don't know how to make Jeff love me again. The elevator stops and I step off. I don't care what floor I'm at; I just need to make him feel comfortable again. He looks up as I step off onto whatever floor I'm at. I smile sadly at him and he looks away. The doors close as a single tear slips down my face. I back up quickly, wanting to get away from the pain. I bump into someone. I turn around and stare blindly at them. I don't know who I am looking at until I hear the person speak. "Sean, are you all right man?" I shake my head to clear the cobwebs and break down in Chuck's arms. I seem to be doing that a lot. I see Taker glaring at me but I don't really care. Chuck looks at Taker and then leads me to their room. He sets me on the spare bed and speaks to Taker softly. Taker grunts his agreement to whatever Chuck said and leaves the room. "Sean, baby, you need to talk to someone about this. It's killing you." I look up at him in tears. "What am I supposed to say to anyone Chuck? I raped the man I love. He hates me and I can't blame him. I would despise him if he had done the same to me." Chuck embraces me and I feel even worse. He is being far too nice to me. I shove him away. "Don't you get it Chuck? I raped Jeff. I didn't want to but that doesn't change the fact that I did do it. I came inside of him. I enjoyed it." Chuck looks at me in shock. I close my eyes. I didn't mean that but maybe Chuck will leave me alone now. I can't take his pity anymore. It's killing me. Chuck steps away from me and glares. "I thought you said you loved him." "I do love him Chuck. That doesn't mean I didn't love being inside of him. I know how horrible that makes me seem but I love the way he felt surrounding me. And�" I trail off, the lies becoming too much for me. As I sob, Chuck takes me into his arms once again. "Shhhh. It's okay Sean. It's okay." His words make me snap again. I start screaming and throwing things. Chuck ducks a lamp that is thrown in his direction and he finally has to step into the bathroom to avoid being hit by flying objects. I finally run out of things to throw and Chuck steps carefully from the bathroom. "Are you done having your temper tantrum?" I nod as I look sadly at him. It did actually help me to feel a little better until he picks something up. When I realize that it is a picture frame I lose control again. I break down this time though. I start to cry as if nothing will ever stop me. Chuck looks from the frame to my face and then turns the picture over. He gasps when he realizes that the picture is the one picture I have of Jeff and me. We were hanging out with his girls at some mall when they said they wanted a picture of Jeff and I together. We went into one of those one-hour places and took the pictures for them. Jeff and I each got an eight by ten picture and the girls all got five by sevens. Chuck shows me the picture and sure enough it was torn to shreds by the glass. I sob all that much harder. The only thing I have to remember what Jeff and I might have had and I destroyed it. Chapter 34 Sean's POV I pace nervously as I wait for the elevator to arrive. Today's the day I find out if Jeff and I can be together or if I hurt him too much to get back what we had. Oh, I know it will never be what it was or even what it could have been. But we can make it better if he's willing to give me a chance. The poem he wrote for me keeps running through my head. I wonder if he really meant what he said in it. I hope so. I am wearing the necklace he gave me. And I know Chuck was wondering about the story behind it but how could I explain to him when I'm not sure what to say. I know that the ring that was attached is the one I gave Jeff but I don't know why he gave it back to me. I guess I will just have to ask him when I finally get downstairs. Damn, the elevator is taking forever. I turn and head for the stairwell. I take the steps two at a time which I probably shouldn't do but I can't seem to help myself. As I finally reach the last landing I push open the doors and knock someone on their ass. I stop and looking down I realize that it is Shannon Moore. "Shan, I am so sorry man. I didn't see you there. Are you all right?" I ask him as I help him to his feet. He giggles and nods his head. Benoit walks up and glares at me before turning to Shannon and making sure he's all right. "Dammit Sean. Why don't you watch where you are going?" "I'm in a hurry. I was supposed to meet Jeff ten minutes ago in the restaurant. I didn't even see Shannon." Shannon laughs and places a hand on Chris's mouth, shutting him up. "Hurry up and go meet up with Jeff. He's waiting for you." I nod and head quickly towards the restaurant. I hear the two lovers arguing but I don't really care about what is being said. My only thoughts are of getting to Jeff before he decides to leave the restaurant. I arrive just as he is standing up. He looks at me, shocked. "I didn't think you were going to make it." "Elevator was taking forever so I had to take the stairs. And then I knocked Shannon on his butt and got into an argument with Benoit." Jeff giggles and smiles shyly at me. He gestures to the booth he had been sitting in and I wait for him to sit down. Taking the seat across from him I smile softly. "Sean, I know that I haven't exactly been warm towards you lately." I interrupt him before he can go any further. "Jeff, baby, I know why. I understand why. I don't blame you one bit. I love you and I am so sorry about what I did. I know that I can never make up for hurting you the way I did but I really want to be with you. I don't care what it takes. I'll do anything. You want me to jump off a building for you no problem. You want me get down on my knees and beg for your forgiveness no problem. You want me to tell the entire world that I love you I will. I will do anything you want me too. Anything." Jeff giggles and takes my hands. "Nah, you don't need to do any of those things. But why don't we try starting over?" I look at him puzzled and ask, "What do you mean start over?" "I mean, you take me out. We hang out together, we get to know each other again. I know that with some of the things that we did, this is going to be hard but I can't�" His voice trails off and he looks down at the table. I know I shouldn't but I reach across the table and pull his chin up so that I am looking into his eyes. "Jeff, I don't want anything that happened in the past to effect us now. I want to start over. And this time I want to do this right. We rushed into things last time and I never got to do the things I wanted to. We never went out on dates. We never went out dancing or to the movies or even to dinner unless your girls were with us. I want to do things differently this time. So if you're willing to give me another chance than I'll take it. I'll take whatever you want to give me, even if it�s nothing at all." Jeff smiles and I am reminded of one of the many reasons I fell in love with this beautiful creature. We sit there in a companionable silence just staring at one another. Suddenly we are interrupted by several people sitting down at our table. I look up and watch angrily as Lance, Matt, Shane, Kanyon, Benoit, Shannon, Jericho, Dallas, Edge and Christian all join our table. They are all arguing about some match that they are all supposed to be involved in. I look at Jeff and we roll our eyes. He leans across the table and kisses my cheek. He whispers, "Sorry about these guys. I'd send them away but they never listen to me." I smile at him as he sits down and wink letting him know that it's not that big of a deal. I mean, of course I am upset but right now I wouldn�t care if Taker joined us. Jeff looks at me worriedly and I realize that I must be frowning at the thought of Taker. I shake my head and smile at him gently. I lean over the table and whisper in his ear, "Baby, I'll be right back. I wanna go check on Chuck. He's not doing so great right now." He nods at me with a frown on his face and I kiss his cheek softly. "I'll tell you when I get back." He nods and watches as I force my way out of the booth. I head directly for the elevators and am shocked to see Taker stepping off with Mike. What I don't get is why Taker is with Sanders. And why Sanders is doing this to Chuck. It doesn't make any sense to me. I hop on the elevator and head back to my room. I step in and am not surprised to see Chuck sitting on the bed spacing out. I sit next to him and hug him. It feels weird to be the one doing the comforting but I guess it's the least I can do. He looks at me and starts to cry again. "Chuck, give me the key to your room and I will go and get your stuff. You are going to stay with me on a permanent basis." He looks up at me and sniffles. "But what about you and Jeff?" "Jeff and I are not going to rush this time. We are going to take this as slow as he needs to. And you need some place to stay that isn't near Taker." He nods his head and hands me the key card. I head to his room and open the door. I try to be quick about getting all of Chuck's stuff together. It's not an easy task. He is as much of a slob as I am. I shove most of his stuff in his bags and am getting his stuff from the bathroom when I hear the door open up. I turn around and face Taker and Mike. Taker snarls at me. "What the hell are you doing in my room asshole?" "I am getting Chuck's stuff. You don't have to worry about him anymore. He's going to be rooming with me from now on." I watch as something that looks like pain flashes across Taker's face before it disappears. He smiles and nods. "Good. Hurry up. Mike and I want to be alone." I grind my teeth and nod. I finish getting Chuck's stuff and I grab his bags. I leave the room, purposely taking the key card with me. I figure if I forgot anything than we shouldn't have to ask Taker for it. We should be able to get whatever we need. I head back up to my room and let myself in. I drop Chuck's bags on the floor and look over at my best friend. "That's it. I've had it Chuck. What the hell is going on between you and Taker? Last I remember you and he weren't that serious. What changed while I was gone?" He looks up at me, tears streaming down his face. "He asked me to marry him. I thought he loved me but�" He trails off as the sobs overtake him once again. I sit next to him on the bed and wrap him up in a hug. Chuck sobs into my shoulder and I hold him close. I didn't think I could be angrier with Taker than I already was but I am. I want to just kick his ass for hurting Chuck. I pull away when the sobs subside and look at my best friend. I pull him to his feet and undress him. He looks at me startled and I smack him on the back of his head. "I'm not going there, moron. You are going to take a shower and then we are going down to the hotel restaurant." Chuck starts to shake his head but I shove him into the bathroom and hand him his stuff. "Shut up and take a shower. You are going to go downstairs with me and get some food." Chuck pouts at me and I have to laugh. I shake my head and shut the door in his face. I can hear him laugh. That makes me feel better. I wait patiently until he steps out of the bathroom. If I wasn't in love with Jeff, I honestly think that Chuck would be the perfect man for me. And as far as looks go, even though I love Jeff, I can't help but notice how absolutely gorgeous Chuck is. Especially when he's just wearing a towel. I laugh at my own thoughts and Chuck looks at me puzzled. "Sorry man. I was just thinking." "About what Sean?" "About how absolutely gorgeous you are. It's a damn shame I am head over heels in love with Jeff." I wink at Chuck and he laughs. "You are insane man. But thank you. I needed to hear that." I stand up after he has gotten dressed and pull him into a hug. "I meant it Chuck. You are a gorgeous man and you deserve someone who loves you more than that asshole obviously does. And you definitely deserve to be treated better than he has treated you." "But this is my fault. If I hadn't been so wrapped up in you and your problems than none of this would have happened." I sigh and grab onto him, pulling him into a hug. "Chuck, this is not your fault. It's Takers. He's the one who is being an ass about this. He's the one who is cheating on you. So fuck him. He ain't worth your being upset over." Chuck bites his lip and frowns at me. "But Sean�" I cut him off by hugging him again. "No Chuck. Don't sit there and make excuses for that bastard. He has done nothing but treat you like shit. You don't deserve that." Chuck looks at me angrily and starts to yell. "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." I reach for him and he pulls away. "Don't you dare touch me Sean. I swear�" Chuck trails off and looks at me. He swallows and then turns, running out of the room. I start to run after him. I catch up with him at the elevator. I stop him from getting on and pull him into my arms. He tries to fight out of my embrace but I refuse to let him go. He stops fighting and starts sobbing. I am leading him back to my room when I see Taker and Jeff step off the elevator together. They are arguing about something and then Taker gestures towards Chuck and I. Jeff looks in our direction and I watch helplessly as he pales. He turns back to Taker and says something. I help Chuck into my room and have just seated him on the bed when I hear the knock on the door. I hope that it's Jeff. I open the door cautiously and sigh with relief that Jeff is standing there. He shoves me out of the way and heads for the bed. "Chuck? Are you okay?" Chuck starts to nod his head but the tears streaming down his face tell the truth. Jeff pulls him into a hug and then looks up at me sadly. I watch, a sad smile on my face, as Jeff and Chuck hug one another. Jeff finally gets to his feet and starts pushing me backwards. He finally pushes me out the door and shuts it in my face. I stand there shocked, staring at the door for several minutes. Finally, I turn around and am a bit surprised to see Taker glaring at me. "What are you doing here?" "Jeff wants me to wait for him." "What Mike wasn't enough for you? Now you have to go after my man?" "Why not? You went after mine. It's not enough for you to know that Jeff is still head over heels in love with you is it? You just had to try and hook up with Chuck too." "What the fuck are you talking about? Chuck has been nothing more than a friend to me. That's all I see him as. I love Jeff and as great as Chuck is, he doesn't make me feel half of what Jeff does." I frown as realization dawns on me. "That's why you were fucking Sanders? Because you thought Chuck and I were�" I trail off unable to voice my thoughts. "Oh please. Like you weren't fucking him every second you were together." Taker says, sounding a little unsure. "Taker, please believe me. I don't want Chuck that way. Yes, I love him. But as a brother. Nothing more. He's my best friend. The only person to whom I could talk to for the past month. I know that I took him away from you during that time, but he missed being with you. He loves you. And yeah, okay, Chuck is a gorgeous man. He's stunningly beautiful, but I have Jeff. Why would I want anything more than that?" "But you didn't have Jeff!" "You're right I didn't. And it was my fault. I fucked up. I know that but thank god that Jeff is willing to give me a second chance. Even though, at the time I didn't have Jeff, I was so distraught over losing the love of my life I don't think I even realized that Chuck was there. I knew that someone was taking care of me, making me eat, take showers, sleep, do all that stuff that you do every day and take for granted. I didn't know who was there and I sure as hell wouldn't have tried anything with Chuck even if I knew that he was there. I wouldn't have tried to make a move on Chuck because he's my best friend and he's head over heels in love with you. And while you don't scare me, the thought of losing Chuck would have killed me. Hell, the thought still freaks me out." I watch Taker's face carefully and am not surprised to see the anger. But what does surprise me is the shame and the guilt that is playing across his face. I'd hug him but I'd probably receive a fist in my face if I did. Instead I place a hand on his arm and smile reassuringly. "Ya know, if you go in there now and apologize, Chuck might be willing to forgive you. He still loves you and would probably be more than willing to take you back." Taker snarls at me and pulls away. "Maybe I don't want him back." "Then go the fuck away and leave Chuck alone. He doesn't deserve to be hurt, by you or anyone." I stare into Taker's green eyes as he glares at me. "Chuck is too good of a person to be hurt anymore." We both jump as the door opens and someone clears his throat. I turn around and smile softly at Jeff. He smiles back at me and then frowns as his eyes fall on Taker. "You are a world class asshole." Jeff turns to me and says, "Chuck is going to move down to my room. He doesn't feel right sleeping in your room." I start to protest but am cut off by this look from Jeff. It's almost as if he's daring me to say something. I nod my head and say, "Okay, let me know if you need any help." "Get him out of here. Chuck doesn't need to see Taker right now." Jeff finishes this statement and walks back into my room. I look from the door to Taker and back. Taker stands there as shocked as I am about this new side of Jeff. I have never seen him this bossy, this in charge. It's a major turn on. Taker is looking at me when I turn around. I smile at him forcefully. He just raises his eyebrows and I speak up. "Well?" "Well what?" "Well, don't you think you should go now. Chuck doesn't want you here." "I don't think so. I am not going anywhere." "But�" I trail off as I realize that getting him to agree is hopeless. He won't agree with me at all. And as long as I am anywhere near Chuck, he'll be there as well. I sigh and lean against the wall. Chapter 35 One Week Later Jeff and I are going on our first date tonight. I don't know whether to be nervous or excited. I have never been this wired before a date before. Chuck, Lance and Matt are going to watch the girls. Chuck and Taker are still not on speaking terms and it's all Takers' fault. He actually had the nerve to accuse Chuck of having sex with Jeff. Jeff is the only person at this point who is still talking to him. Chuck isn't upset about it in the sense that he's sad, he's upset because Taker is telling everyone that Jeff and Chuck are sleeping together. He's mad at Taker and I don't think anyone can blame him. I don't know if they'll be able to work past this. I don't know if they should. Taker and Chuck aren't the only ones having problems though. Matt and Lance have been at each other's throats for the past week. I'm not sure of the details but I know it has something to do with Jeff and I. Jeff won't talk about it and he is apparently not on speaking terms with either man. I wish I could get him to talk about it but until he wants to I guess he won't. There is a knock on the door and I answer it. I am not surprised to see Chuck standing there. "Hey buddy. So do you know what you and Jeff are going to do tonight?" "Yep. I'm planning it so I should know." I smirk at him. I know a hint for clues when I hear it. Jeff probably sent Chuck to find out where we are going. "Come on man. Jeff needs to know what to wear." "Okay, tell him to dress up. We are going out to dinner and then, well, he'll have to wait and see what else we do." Chuck sighs. "You're no fun man." I smile and usher my best friend out of the room. I sit back down on the bed and flip on the TV. I might as well do something while I am waiting for my date with Jeff. Chapter 36 I knock on the door to Jeff and Chuck's room and wait for someone to open the door. After a few minutes, the door is pulled open a little and Elisabeth pokes her head through. "Hi Sean. Daddy's not ready yet. And he's mad because you won't tell him where you're going." She smiles up at me and I wink. "Can you tell him I am waiting for him then?" She nods and closes the door on me again. I stand there for several more minutes before the door opens up again. Elisabeth slips out the door and motions for me to lean over. I kneel on one knee next to her and she wraps her arms around my neck. "I'm glad you and Daddy have made up Sean." She kisses my cheek and I am grinning from ear to ear. I hug her tightly and whisper back. "So am I munchkin. So am I." I stand up pulling her with me and we stand there talking quietly. She's playing with my tie when I hear the door open up. My back to the door I don't see who stepped into the hall but I think it's Chuck. "What the hell is taking so long? Jesus, you'd think he wasn't already the best looking guy I've ever met." Elisabeth giggles and I turn around to see why. Jeff is standing there smiling softly at me. It looks like he let Jericho dress him because he is wearing leather pants and a shiny shirt. As I blatantly stare at him I can feel Elisabeth slide down and hit the ground. I can't take my eyes off Jeff though. He's so stunningly beautiful that I can barely breathe normal. He walks closer and leans up kissing me softly. "Hey baby. Are we ready to go?" I nod. I don't think I could speak now if I tried to. He takes my hand and pulls me down the hallway and into the elevator. He doesn't let go of my hand as the elevator hits the lobby. "So where are we going Sean?" I look at him and am amazed again at how absolutely gorgeous he is. He waves a hand in front of my face and smiles. "Sean? Baby? Where are we going?" I snap out of my reverie and smile at him. "I can't tell you that just yet." I grab his hand and drag him out the doors of the hotel. I lead him to the car I had rented just for tonight and he gasps. I turn around and smile at him. "This is the right car isn't it?" He nods and steps closer to the Dodge Viper running his hands over the blue finish. He turns to look at me. "Sean, even to rent these things cost an arm and a leg. What in the world�." His voice trails off and I smile softly at him. "Simple baby. Tonight is about what you've always wanted. You told me you wanted to ride in a Viper so that's what you get to do." I caress his cheek and open the door helping him into the small vehicle. He looks up at me smiling like a small child who has just been told he's going to Disneyland. I grin at him and walk around to the driver's side. I somehow manage to fold my body into the car. As I start the engine, Jeff grins delighted. "Hold on tight baby. I'm taking you to a place I know of where we can open this baby up." His grin widens and he wraps his arms around mine. "Let me shift, please?" I can never refuse him anything so I nod. His hand grips the stick shift and I swallow the tight ball of desire starting to form. I want to close my eyes but I know I can't take my eyes off the road. I make a few turns smiling as Jeff delights in the fact that I don't slow down. I'm not going that fast but he's still enjoying himself and that's the important thing. I stop at the entrance to a racetrack and hop out of the car. He looks at me and frowns. "Sean, this isn't the least bit romantic." I smile and nod. I know he honestly believes that but I hope he likes his surprise. I walk over to the gate and talk to the guard who had come to greet us. He smiles and nods knowingly when I explain about my date and my arrangement with the owner of the track. I don't think Jeff knows but the McMahon's own it so they helped me set this whole thing up. I drive through the gates and down onto the track. I climb out of the car and walk around to the passenger side. I pull open the door and help Jeff out of the car. He trips and falls against me. I start to apologize but he kisses me softly. "Don't Sean. But why are we here? This is not someplace where I should be dressed the way I am." I smile down at him. "Come with me baby." I take his hand and lead him to the middle of the field. I look down at him, his face lit up by the moonlight. "I love you Jeff. May I have this dance?" Jeff giggles at me and nods. I pull him into my arms and we start to slow dance even though there is no music. After a few minutes of us dancing, some music is piped in and Jeff pulls back slightly frowning up at me. "Don't say anything yet Jeff." I pull him back against me and we continue to move to the music. I don't know that what we are doing can be considered dancing since we're basically just swaying to the music but that's okay. We pull part when the song ends but I don't let him go completely. I smile when he just stares at me as Alabama comes over the PA system with God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You. I pull him against me and kiss him softly. "I love you Jeff." He looks up at me with tears in those beautiful green eyes of his and kisses me back. We sway to the music and I can almost believe that we can get over the past. I pull away when the song ends and look at him seriously. "Jeff, do you trust me?" He hesitates for just a second but I see the worry that clouds his eyes. "Of course I do Sean. I love you." I sigh. "I know you love me baby. But you don't trust me." I hold up a hand to stop him from speaking. "And there's absolutely no fucking reason why you should. But I am asking to go against your better judgment and trust me for a few minutes. I swear to you that I will not hurt you but I want to blindfold you for a couple of minutes so I can set up more of your surprise. I understand if you want to say no." He smiles shyly at me. "Sean, I trust you. I know I shouldn't but I do. I trust you because I couldn't love you so completely if I didn't." I smile at his words and he turns around. I grab the bandanna from my pocket and place it over his eyes, tying it securely behind his head. I turn him around and kiss his lips lightly. I lead him over to the blanket that was laid out and set him down on it. I walk away and find the guard telling him to flip on the lights that were set up. I set out the food next, all of Jeff's favorites made by me with some help from Matt. I finish setting everything up and move to kneel behind him. I untie the bandanna wanting desperately to kiss the nape of his neck. I restrain myself and instead pull the bandanna away. I probably should have been in front of him so I could see his expression but I still delight in hearing his little gasps and ooh's. He turns around so that he is facing me and then he gets to his knees. Jeff pulls me down for a kiss. This kiss is unlike any of our others, better than all of them combined. It's sweet and sensual, soft and aggressive. Our bodies are pressed and I have to force myself to calm down. It takes every ounce of my self-control to not force myself on him. Jeff pulls away first, gasping for air. By the look on his face and the fact our lower bodies are still pressed together, I can tell he was as affected as I was by that kiss. I don't even know if Jeff realizes his erection is pressed against my thigh. He smiles shyly at me. "I'm sorry Sean. I shouldn't have done that." I smile at him and caress his back softly. "Baby, don't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong." Jeff smiles and hugs me. I sigh at the feel of him holding onto me. I know my erection is pressed against his stomach but I can't make myself pull away. Jeff pulls out of my embrace and looks around again. I wonder what he's thinking as he grins at the sight before him. Icicle lights are strung from one end of the field to the other and back again. They are mostly white lights but there are a few red and blue mixed in. On the blanket, I spread out all of the food and a pair of china dishes. I move around him and fix him a plate. He takes the plate and scoots over so that he is sitting next to me. When I am done fixing my own plate he lays his head on my shoulder and starts to eat. I eat my own plate and when we are done, I clean up quickly. He watches me with wide eyes. I smile when I'm done and sit back down next to him. He shifts so that he is lying with his head in my lap. I smile down at him and he smiles back. "I love you Sean. Thank you for this. No one has ever made me this happy." I run my fingers through his hair and smile. "I'm glad that I am making you happy baby. That's my entire goal. So what do you want to do now? We can either sit here for a while or we can see how fast the Viper can go?" His jade eyes light up and he pulls himself into a sitting position. "Let's check out the car." I smile when he laughs and hops up. He grabs my hands and tugs me to my feet. "Okay baby." He drags me to the car and opens up the driver's side door. When he tries to push me in I stop him. "No Jeff. You drive." His eyes widen and he grins. "Are you serious?" "Of course I am baby. I want you to drive her." He grabs me and hugs me tightly before hopping into the car. I make my way around to the passenger side and sit down. Buckling my belt, I smile when he giggles over roaring the engine. He puts the car into gear and we take off. After a few laps around the track, Jeff pulls the car to a stop. He looks over at me and grins. "Thanks Sean. That was so much fun." I look at him and smile softly. "I'm glad you had fun baby. Now are you ready for dessert?" He nods and we head back to the blanket. I set out the strawberries and whipped cream and he frowns at me. "I wasn't thinking that Jeff. I know how much you love strawberries. That was my only thought." He smiles at me and grabs a strawberry. After swiping it through the whipped cream, Jeff licks some of the excess off and moans in pleasure. I try not to remember what it felt like to have that tongue on me but I find myself growing hard. Jeff bites into the strawberry, his eyes closed in ecstasy. I close mine and grope blindly for a strawberry. I want to forget the sight of him with that pleasure filled expression on his face. My hand brushes against his and my eyes snap open, meeting his. He's blushing and looking at me with his green eyes shocked as if he can't believe what's happening. I can't move. I am rooted to the spot. I want so badly to kiss him but I promised I'd do this at his pace. I stay stock still as he leans across the fruit and brushes my lips with his. I close my eyes in an effort to control my reaction. At the moment all I want to do is shove him down and make love to him until neither of us can walk. I feel his hand against the back of my head and he deepens the kiss. I moan into his mouth as his tongue pushes against mine tentatively. I want to grab him and kiss him back just as passionately but I don't want to scare him. Unfortunately, my body has a mind of it's own. I grasp his hips and pull him against me. His hands move to my shoulders and I feel him sigh into my mouth. He straddles my lap and I can feel his erection pressing into my stomach. His hands slip underneath my shirt and I gasp. As his hands move over my chest and towards my back, I finally realize what we are doing. I push him away and jump to my feet. "We can�t do this Jeff." He looks up at me with hurt in those jade green eyes and I have to close my eyes against the pain. "But don't you want me Sean?" "Of course I want you baby. But it's too soon. I won't do this with you until I am sure you won't be completely scared that I'll go further than you want. Jeff, baby, I love you and I don't want you to be afraid of me." Jeff looks up at me and nods. He holds out his hand and I pull him to his feet. "I love you Sean. And you're right. I'm sorry. It's just that every time I am near you, I want you." I smile and nod my head. "I know how you feel. Trust me I know how you feel. I want you to be able to trust me completely before we take the next step." Jeff smiles and wraps his arms around my waist. "Can we still kiss though?" How can I deny him kisses? Besides I love the way his mouth feels. I nod and he stands on tiptoe kissing me softly. "We should head back Sean. It's getting kind of late." I look at my watch and nod. He leads me to the car and hands over the keys. I frown. "Baby if you want to drive back to the hotel, I don't mind." Jeff shakes his head and pulls me down for a kiss. "I want you to drive so that I can stare at you." I laugh and walk him to the passenger side door, opening it for him. He climbs in and as I go around the back of the car, I can't help but notice that he leans over and unlocks my door for me. I open it up and smile down at him. He grins as I slide into the seat. As we are heading back to the hotel, I can't help but notice that Jeff's hand is on top of mine and he is blatantly staring at me. I smile when we pull up to the hotel. He climbs out of the car and I walk him up to his room. He's still sharing with Chuck but none of the other's. I kiss him on the cheek and start to walk away after we said goodnight but he stops me. "I want a proper kiss Sean." I smile and lean down brushing my lips against his. His mouth opens up and I slip my tongue inside. He moans into my mouth and I have to force myself once again to pull away. "Was that better baby?" He nods and kisses my cheek. "Thank you for tonight Sean. I really appreciate all of the trouble you went through for me tonight." "Baby I would do anything for you." He smiles and kisses my cheek again. "Goodnight Sean. Sweet dreams." I sigh when he shuts the door in my face. I'll have sweet dreams all right. I'll probably wake up a mess but my dreams will definitely be sweet. Chapter 37 Jeff's POV I wake up the next morning and I have to smile. I am amazed that I actually slept through an entire night. I roll onto my side and catch Chuck staring at me. "What?" Chuck grins at me and speaks. "So you had fun?" I nod my head not wanting to go into details. Last night was for Sean and me and as much as I adore Chuck, I just don't want him to know what Sean did for me. "So did he behave himself?" I laugh. "Of course he did. He was a perfect gentleman." Well, okay almost perfect but when he wasn't it was my fault. I'm the one who kissed him, asked him to kiss me, not to mention sitting on his lap when I knew damn well that he was as hard as a rock. I smile over the memory. I wasn't afraid of him for once. I snap out of my daydream when Chuck laughs. "You have got it bad kid. So how soon should I start rooming alone?" I laugh and shake my head. "You shouldn't. Sean and I are taking this slow, no matter how much I or he wants to rush it." Chuck smiles and climbs over into my bed. He hugs me and kisses my forehead. "You make him happy Jeff. And it's obvious he makes you happy. I'm glad for you guys." I sigh happily as I snuggle into his embrace. "I love him so much Chuck. And I want him so bad." Chuck laughs and pulls away slightly. "No really?" The sarcasm is dripping from his voice. I smack him and laugh. "Yeah, really." "Gee, I couldn't have ever been able to tell that from you jerking off last night." I can't stop the blush that spreads across my face. I didn't think he had heard me. "A word to the wise Jeff, just because someone appears to be asleep doesn't mean anything." I shake my head in disbelief. "Why were you awake? I know I wasn't that loud when I came back." "You were that loud when you came though." Chuck laughs and I blush even harder. "Sorry Jeff I couldn't resist that one. I was still awake because I had just finished jerking off when I heard you and Sean whispering at the door. I hopped back into bed and hoped that you'd think I was asleep. I didn't think you'd start stroking yourself." I laugh at the whole situation. I sober as I look up at him. "To who?" He frowns and looks away. I swear under my breath. "Dammit Chuck. Why? He's done nothing but hurt you repeatedly." Chuck shrugs his shoulders and looks back at me. "I don't know Jeff. You can't help who you love can you? I mean seriously wouldn't you have loved to hate Sean after what happened?" I nod knowing he's right. "Our situations are different though Chuck. Sean did what he had to do to protect me. Taker did what he did to hurt you." Chuck climbs out of the bed and looks down at me. "Jeff, I know how screwed up it is. But I love him. I know that he intentionally set out to hurt me but I love him. I've tried to stop loving him. I've tried hating him. In the end it all comes back to me being head over heels in love with him. I hate it and my self for still loving him but what the hell am I supposed to do about it?" I crawl out of bed and wrap my arms around him. "I know Chuck. Trust me I know." We stand there holding each other until someone knocks on the door. I pull away from him and answer the door. Sean is standing there holding Lara with my other girls next to him. "Hey Jeff. We're going to breakfast so hurry up and get ready." I laugh and kiss my girls and then Sean. Chuck smiles at us from the bed. I see Sean wink at Chuck making him smile. "Come on Chuck get your lazy butt out of bed. You're going with us." Chuck starts to protest but Elisabeth hops onto his bed and sits on his lap. "Please Chuck. We really want you to go with us." Chuck starts to object but he makes the mistake of looking at Elisabeth. She's pouting at him and I have to laugh because he, like everyone else who sees that pout, crumbles. "Okay. I'll go. But Jeff and I both need showers." He looks at me and I manage to not break out laughing. I know exactly what he's referring to. I smile at him and we both break out into laughter. I grab his hand and pull him into the bathroom with me. "You take a shower first Chuck and then I'll take one." "Why are we in here together Jeff?" "This way we won't be as tempted to jerk off and take an additional ten minutes." Chuck laughs and nods his head. I turn to the sink and brush my teeth. I can't help but notice him stripping in the mirror though. He's nearly perfect. He's so well muscled and all tan. He's totally gorgeous. Not only that but he's such a great guy. He's intelligent, funny, sweet and just over all a terrific guy. I don't understand why Taker is being such an ass about all of this. Chuck steps out of the shower a few minutes later, water dripping down his body. I can't help but stare at him. He's huge. I can't believe I never realized that before. Chuck clears his throat and I blush. Oops, he caught me staring. I'd try to explain but it's kind of obvious what I was doing. "Sorry Chuck. I didn't mean to stare." Chuck smiles at me. "It's okay Jeff. I don't know why you'd want to but it's okay." I look at him in shock. "You don't know why I'd want to? Let's see, you're a gorgeous man. You're body is amazing and the main thing I am staring at? Well, all I can say is dayum. I did not realize that you were quite that big." Chuck is blushing and it's the cutest thing. "Shut up and take your shower Jeff." I laugh and start to strip. I step under the steaming water and sigh. It feels good. Now if I could just get my erection to go away without touching myself I'd be happy. I wash quickly and step out of the shower. I dry off and smile at Chuck who is standing there waiting for me. I grab my clothes and pull them on. We walk out of the bathroom and I smile up at Sean who has a frown on his face. How sweet he's jealous. I walk up to him and pull him down for a kiss. I pull back and whisper, "It's very sweet that you're jealous of Chuck but there's nothing to be jealous of. I love you Sean. As beautiful as he is, he doesn't compare to you. You're the one who makes me hard when all I do is think about you. You're the one who makes me get all weird inside when you smile at me." Sean smiles at me and nods. "Sorry baby. I know he's not a threat but it's still weird to see you and him going into the bathroom to take showers." "I know Sean. Trust me though. He's not into me that way. He's still hung up on Taker." Sean's face hardens at this and I run a hand over his chest soothing him. I know that is going to piss him off. He's very protective of his best friend and it's just another one of the many reasons I love him. Chuck is playing with the girls when Sean and I look over. "He's dealing with it Sean. Just leave it alone." Sean looks at me and nods. "Okay baby. I'll leave it alone but I cannot support him if he gets back with Taker." I nod knowing full well that he's lying. He'll support Chuck no matter what the situation is. He loves Chuck too much to not support him. I hook my arm through Sean's and pull him towards the door. Chuck picks up the girls and follows us out the door. Chapter 38 Sean's POV It's been two weeks since Chuck had his one night stand with Bret. From what Jeff told me that Chuck told him, it was an enlightening evening. Not that Jeff said anything to me about what happened between Chuck and Bret but apparently Chuck finally realized that he didn't need Taker. Taker isn't taking it too well. He looks ready to kill any time he sees me or Chuck or Jeff. I've warned him to stay away from Jeff and Chuck but I still see him following Chuck around all of the time. Taker's not the only one following Chuck around like a lost puppy though. Bret hasn't stopped following Chuck around since their one night together. It's actually kind of cute. Bret literally jumps for Chuck. Chuck doesn't seem to get the point though. He's just hanging out with Jeff and the girls all of the time. Speaking of Jeff, he and I are more in love than ever. I think I have finally worked back his trust. We have done everything that we didn't do before. We've gone on dates, dinner, movies, dancing, the whole nine yards. I love the way his face lights up when we go out. I have to admit that I know full well that I am grinning like an idiot right now. Jeff and I are going out tonight and it'll be the first time since our picnic that we will be alone. Most of the time when we go out on our dates, Shannon and Benoit are with us or Shane and Kanyon or Edge and Christian or any other number of guys. I think they are still worried that I am going to try and force Jeff into something he doesn't want. Little do they know that he's the one who can't keep his hands to himself. Not that I mind but it's driving me insane not being able to touch him. But I don't want to scare him. We are finally getting a night alone. Lance and Matt, who have worked out all of their problems, are taking the girls for the entire night. Jeff planned it and told me I have to wear a suit, which is why I am at the mall with Stephanie and Molly shopping. I know that Jeff went with Trish to shop for his suit but no one will tell me what we are doing. All anyone will say is that I need to look my best. Jeff's POV Trish is helping me find the perfect suit to wear tonight. I don't know why I am bothering with all of the formalities. My main focus for tonight is getting Sean into my room, into my bed, and into me. I don't know why he and I are going to dinner and dancing first. I know he wants the same thing I want. He's just scared that I am going to be scared. And that is so sweet. It just makes me want him even more. So here I am in some men's store trying on suit after suit that all look like shit on me anyway. I don't know why I couldn't have just told him we're having a picnic. That way we could both wear jeans and t-shirts. But everyone was against the idea of me telling him the truth. I don't know why I am listening to everyone else. It doesn't make sense to me but that's okay. At least I know Sean will like what I have in store for him after our picnic. I get all giddy every time I think about it. I can't wait to feel his hands on me again. Him acting like the perfect gentleman is driving me insane. I smile at Trish as she steps into the dressing room. So far this is the only suit she's given me that I like. If it fits I'm taking it and we're leaving. I hate shopping. But I have to admit it has been fun hanging out with Trish. She's terrific. The suit looks great on a hanger but as with most of them, it looks horrible on me. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am too skinny for most of these suits and the ones I'm not too skinny for are the ones I wouldn't be caught dead in. So I guess we keep looking. I've tried talking Trish into just finding me a pair of pants and a nice shirt but she's having none of it. All or nothing with this girl. She comes back to the dressing room with several different suits. None of them are my style and I tell her so. She doesn't care. She starts to undress me and I jump out of her reach and shove her out the door. Now if that would have been Sean, but I won't go there. I pull on the first of eight suits and immediately dismiss it as a possibility but I know that if I don't show Trish she'll never let me leave the store. So I step out into the store and grin at her when she frowns. With a wave she sends me back into the dressing room. After I have tried on all but the last suit I am begging Trish to let me go. As I expected she shakes her head telling me no and I go try on the last suit. It actually doesn't look half-bad but I'll wait and see what she thinks. "Damn Jeff. That's it. That is the suit for you. You look hot in it." I smile and roll my eyes at her. I don't think I look all that. I don't look half-bad but I do look decent. Besides I am not going to argue with her when this means I get to quit trying on suits. I quickly change back into my street clothes and we head for the food court. I'm starving and I know Trish must be hungry. We get some food and sit down at a table. It's not long before Steph, Molly and Sean join us. Sean drops into the chair next to me and glares at Steph and Molly. "So Jeff, what are we doing tonight that I had to deal with those two putting me in so many different suits I thought I was going to strangle one or both of them?" I lean up pulling his face closer to mine. "I'm not going to tell you." I kiss him softly and my stomach flutters when I hear him growl low in his throat. If we weren't in a public place, I'd say screw tonight and make him take me right there. I pull away before either of us can do anything we may regret. Not that I'd really regret him throwing me on the floor and fucking me senseless but he might. Sean pulls me onto his lap and grabs some of my fries. "Come on babe. Just tell me where we are going so I know why I'm restraining myself from killing Steph & Molly." I shake my head and lean closer kissing him again. "Sorry Sean. It's a surprise. You'll like it I think." He smiles at me and holds me closer. I can feel his erection pressed into my hip. He's so big and hard and I really wish it were just the two of us right now. I wiggle out of his grasp and slide back into my own chair. I look up at him and smile trying to let him know that it's not because of him that I backed off. I take his hand and look back at the three girls who are totally engrossed in their conversation about which colors look the best on them. "Girls, Sean and I are heading back to the hotel. Thanks for helping us shop." They wave and we make our escape. Once we are at the hotel, he pulls me against him and kisses me breathless. "If you ever make me go shopping with those two again I am strangling you." I laugh and nod my head. "I don't want to go shopping with Trish anymore either so we won't have to ever again." Sean kisses me again as the elevator comes to a stop on our floor. We stop at the door to my room and he pushes me up against the door. "Baby, tonight can we skip the going out part? I know I said I wouldn't rush you but I need to be with you even if it's just holding you." I sigh. I would love nothing more than to agree but with all of the trouble my brother, Lance, Chuck and the girls have gone to I don't want to mess up their plans. I shake my head avoiding looking in his eyes. "Sean, it's not that I don't want to, it's just the girls have this really elaborate date planned for us and I promised them that we would go no matter what." Sean's frown softens at the mention of my girls. He nods and takes the keycard from my hand and slips it into place. "Okay then baby. I'll see you in about three hours." I look down at my watch shocked to find out he's right about the time. I rush to get ready. I want to look perfect tonight. Chap 39 Sean's POV I have to admit I am nervous about tonight. I don't know why exactly but the thought of being alone with Jeff tonight is going to drive me slowly mad. I knock on the door to his room and am completely speechless. I have never seen Jeff look more beautiful than he does right now. He's wearing a light gray suit that looks as if it were made for him. All I can think about is tearing it off of him. He smiles up at me and I have to kiss him. His lips are so soft and yielding against mine. He moans into my mouth and that's when I figure I had better pull back before something happens that he's not ready for. We walk down the hall to the elevator and I can't keep my eyes off him. I nearly run into the elevator door, I am so intent on watching Jeff. He laughs at me and then pulls me close for a kiss. "Mmmmmm� You smell good tonight baby." I have no idea what he's talking about so I just nod. I have never been so robbed of my senses and I think I could get used to it. He pulls me outside and stands next to a beautiful black Jeep Wrangler. How he knows I love Wranglers is beyond me but he hands me the keys and I willingly step behind the wheel. I look at him and smile. "Where're we going babe?" "Just follow my directions and we'll get there." He grins at me and that smile heads straight to my groin. I follow his directions and soon we are at a deserted beach. It's absolutely gorgeous with the moon shining down nice and bright and full. I look around but I don't see a restaurant anywhere so I look over at Jeff who is already climbing out of the jeep. "Babe, where are we?" "At the beach silly. The girls put together a picnic with some help from Matt, Lance and Chuck so I agreed to go along with their plans." "Then why the suits?" I have to ask as he hands me the picnic basket, cooler and another bag. He grabs a blanket and I automatically follow shim while he answers. "Because they wanted you to think we were going out on a traditional date. I wanted to just wear jeans and a t-shirt but they said no." I nod my head. This sounds like one of Chuck's plans to me. I watch as Jeff settles the blanket on the sand and then sets all of the food out. He takes off the tie and jacket as well as his shoes and socks before settling down to eat. I follow suit by removing my jacket, socks and shoes. I can't stand ties so I hadn't worn one. He hands me a plate full of food and I start to eat. He quickly eats his food and gets to his feet. "It's warm don't you think?" I watch as he strips down to nothing and stand before me. I try to speak but my mouth just refuses to cooperate. He pulls me to my feet and starts to undress me. "Jeff I don't think you should be doing this." "For once in your life, shut up and do what I tell you to." I nod loving the aggressive side of Jeff. He pulls my shirt off and throws it down on top of his. He's quick to remove my pants and he just smiles when he realizes I'm not wearing anything underneath. I watch him carefully for any signs of panic. I am staring so intently at his face that I don't notice his hand wrap around my length until he is stroking me. "Jeff, stop. Baby." He shakes his head as he leans over and kisses the very tip of my erection. My knees start to buckle and he hasn't even done anything really. We drop back to the blanket and he let's go of me. "Sean, I want you to love me. Please? I have waited so long and been so patient. I need you. I want you. Please?" As his green eyes lock onto my blue eyes I am reminded that I can never refuse him anything. I nod and he smiles softly before bringing his mouth down to meet mine. I quickly roll him onto his back and kiss my way down his strong body. I move straight to what I have been wanting to taste for months and take the tip of his cock into my mouth and begin to suck gently. From his moans and whimpers, I assume that he is enjoying himself. I want to take my time but I also want him too much to wait. I inch his cock down my throat until my nose is buried in the soft curls surrounding him. His fingers tangle in my hair as I start to bob up and down on his shaft. He's moaning and arching up into my mouth. He tastes like heaven as far as I am concerned. When he finally cums, it's in a hot rush down my throat. I can feel it warming my insides as I slide up his body to capture his lips. We spend several minutes lying there making out until I feel his hand grasp my erection again. I pull away and look down at him. "Jeff are you one hundred percent sure you want this?" He sits up and glares at me. "Goddammit Sean. Just how long are you planning on making me wait? Because I don't know how much longer I can wait for you." I blush. I had no idea he'd been waiting for me. I pin him back to the blanket. "If I go too far or too fast let me know okay?" He nods and I capture his sweet lips once again. His hand slips between us and when he touches me it feels like my dick is on fire. It takes everything I have not to cum from that slight touch alone. He flips me over so that I am on my back and he licks his way down my body. I swear it feels like he is trying to give me a tongue bath but damn is it ever erotic. He avoids my throbbing shaft like the plague, which only serves to make me harder mainly because I know he is doing it on purpose. He licks his way down my thigh and tickles the inside of my knee with his tongue before making his way up and over to the other leg still avoiding my cock. I moan and reach down tangling my hands in his blonde hair. "Jeff, please?" "Please what?" Jeff sounds like the very picture of innocence right now and as I look down to meet his eyes he looks the part as well. I swallow the lump that has formed in my throat. Every single part of me wants to blurt out my surprise for him but I manage to restrain myself. "Jeff, suck me please baby?" He smiles and I can see a faint blush across his cheeks. I grab him and pull him up for a kiss. "I do love you Jeff. With every part of me." "I love you too Sean. You are everything I have ever wanted in a lover." He pulls back and we just smile at each other. He slides down my body staring into my eyes the entire time. I don't even blink as he takes my cock into his mouth and begins to lightly suck at the tip. I clench my jaw as the pleasure sweeps over my body. It's all I can do not to cum right away. Jeff's hands are running lightly up and down my thighs and I know he can feel the tension in them. He pulls back ever so slightly and licks at the tip. I can't help but close my eyes as passion washes over me. No one has ever made me feel half of what Jeff does. My eyes fly open as he swallows as much of me as he can, which is a considerable amount. I watch in a hazy-eyed state of mind as he bobs up and down on my swollen shaft. I already know that if he keeps it up I am going to cum so I try to warn him. He sucks harder making it almost painful to be in his mouth but since it's a good kind of pain I don't mind so much. One of his free hands reaches up and he starts to fondle my balls. That's enough to shove me over the edge and I barely have enough time to warn him what's about to happen before my seed is rushing down his throat. He somehow manages to swallow most of it and what he can't clings to his mouth and chin. I smile at him as he sits on my stomach. "You look beautiful Jeff." "Shut up Sean and clean me off." I am more than willing to obey him. I pull him closer and lick his face clean. As soon as I pull away he attacks my mouth. We roll around for a bit until he has me pinned to the beach. I'm still in shock from him pinning me when I feel his warm, tight sheath sinking down onto my re-hardened cock. "Jesus Jeff. What are you thinking?" I say as I watch the pain on his face. I want to lean up and kiss him to let him know that I love him but I know if I move it's only going to cause him more pain. "Jeff, I love you baby. I love you so much." Jeff looks at me the pain clearing a little. "I know you do Sean. It's okay. I wanted to do it this way. It's not as bad now. You can lean up and kiss me if you want." He knows me too well. I lean up and have him meet me halfway. Our mouths meet and I am again stunned by how much I love the taste of his mouth. It's not long before Jeff is shifting restlessly on my shaft and I feel this barely controllable urge to flip him onto his back and just pound into him. I do manage to restrain myself though and I let Jeff do as he pleases. It's not too long before he's gripping my thighs in a way that I know signals his impending orgasm. I'm proved right when without either of us touching him, he shoots his seed all over my stomach and chest as well as his own. I take the opportunity to grab his hips and thrust up into him knowing that it won't be long before I join him in ecstasy. He collapses against me when I finally stop cumming. "Oh my god. Sean that was the most beautiful intense thing I have ever been a part of." "I love you Jeff." I don't know what else to say. He pulls back and smiles up at me. "Thank you Sean." I just smile. I wouldn't feel right saying you're welcome. He gave me just as much if not more pleasure than I gave him. He drops back to my chest mindless of the fact that I am covered in his cum. "Jeff, shouldn't we be going back now?" Jeff nods but doesn't say anything and doesn't move. "Come on baby doll. I want to take you back to the hotel and get you cleaned up." He pulls back so that he is sitting on my stomach again. "I don't want to go back. If you want to clean me off, the water is right over there." I laugh as he points towards the ocean. I get to my feet, his ankles locked securely around my waist. I walk straight into the water and am surprised to find it warm. It's by no means hot but it's not cold and that's what I was expecting. Jeff squirms against me as a wave crashes over us making me hard again. I have to laugh when he manages to wiggle his way around so that he is fully seated on my dick again. He shoves me back with the help of a wave and we proceed to make love in the ocean as the waves literally crash down around our heads. It doesn't take long for either of us to cum and we rinse off and I take his hand this time wanting to keep a safe distance. We get dressed and load the jeep back up. Once we are back at the hotel, I start to head to my room and Jeff tugs me towards his room. "Jeff, are you sure about this?" "Baby, if I'm sure about having your thick hard hot cock inside of me I think I can handle having you wrapped around me while I sleep." I groan at his imagery and follow him willingly to his room. I am shocked to find all of my stuff in his room and Chuck's stuff is no where to be seen. I look at Jeff and he explains that Chuck switched rooms with me so that I could be with him. I smile and make a mental note to thank Chuck when I see him next. Jeff and I make love one last time before falling asleep and it's then that I realize I never gave Jeff my surprise for him. But as soon as my head hits the pillow I fall asleep and dream about the love of my life. Chap. 40 Sean's POV I wake up the next morning with Jeff wrapped around me and his little girls sitting at the foot of the bed watching us. I shake my head trying to clear it and look down hoping that we are still covered up. We are but barely and only by a very thin sheet. "Does this mean you're going to be our daddy Sean?" Marie asks with a grin. "I don't know you brats. How'd you get in here?" Angie shrugs. "Uncle Chuck let us in. We wanted to ask Daddy if you guys liked the picnic." I can't help but smile. Jeff's girls are the cutest kids. "We enjoyed it very much so thank you." "You're welcome." Elisabeth says almost shyly. I can't help but wonder why and am about to ask when Jeff wakes up. He pulls himself up my body and kisses me. I try to tell him his girls are here but his mouth is on mine before the words can come out. Our tongues mate and I find myself starting to forget the girls when I hear a giggle. Jeff jumps away from me and flips around. "What are you doing here?" I can tell by the way that his shoulders are shaking that he's trying not to laugh. "We wanted to see if you had fun and enjoyed your picnic, Daddy." One of the girls' answers him but I can't tell which one because Jeff is sitting directly on my cock. I grip his hips and try to move him but he blindly reaches behind himself and slaps my hand away. I push myself into a sitting position and lean close so that I am breathing on his ear. "If you don't get off of my cock, I won't be responsible for what your girls see us doing." I'm rewarded with a giggle and him moving off of my lap. He snuggles into my side and smiles at his girls. "Thanks again girls. We�" He looks up at me and smiles mischievously, "Had fun." The girls all grin at me and I just smile in response. He winks at them and then smiles up at me. "I'm gonna go take a shower. You stay here with the girls." I nod and before I can do anything about it Jeff has moved off of the bed and taken the sheet with him. I laugh and grab one of the pillows covering myself up while he laughs his way into the bathroom. "Girls, I wanted to ask you something." They all nod at me and look like I'm about to tell them the best secret of their lives. I hope it is. I lean over and grab my pants from last night and pull them on. I then look around for my jacket and smile when I see it. I pull out a box and show it to them. "What do you think? Are you guys okay with me asking your dad to marry me?" They all squeal and start jumping up and down on the bed until I shush them. I want to surprise Jeff. I tell them my plans and they agree to help me. I look back down at the jewelry box and smile. I hope he likes the ring I picked out. It's a silver band with his and my birthstones surrounded by one for each of his girls. Chap. 41 Sean's POV still I tug on the tie I put on for this and swear that if Jeff and Chuck don't show up soon, I am going to strangle them both. Granted Jeff doesn't know that we are throwing a surprise birthday party for him but he's still late. I know he thinks I've forgotten about his birthday but I wanted him to think that. So did all of the other guys. All of Jeff's friends are here and they are just as excited about this party as I am but for different reasons. Tonight is the night I ask Jeff to marry me. Matt and Lance are going to tell Jeff the good news about them adopting a baby and the only reason I know about it is because when I was telling Matt the reason for the surprise party he told me he wanted to give Jeff his news as well. A few of the other guys have some news for Jeff so we've all agreed that when we give him his presents we'll tell him our good news. Or at least in my case what I hope is good news. I guess I have to wait and find out if he thinks it's good or not. I am standing around talking to Kanyon and Shane when Jeff and Chuck walk in. Chuck was supposed to call and give us some warning but so much for that. I look at Jeff as he stares at me a questioning look in his eyes. "Surprise?" He starts to laugh and runs straight into my arms. I pick him up and kiss him softly. "Happy birthday baby." He kisses me again before wiggling out of my arms. He is immediately swallowed up by his friends. Chuck walks over and claps me on the back. "Sorry man. Jeff figured it out while we were at dinner and he wouldn't leave my side for a single second." I shrug. Jeff's happy and that's all that matters. "Thanks for helping out Chuck." "Anytime man. I'm gonna go get something to drink." I watch as Chuck heads for the refreshment table and I nearly laugh out loud as Bret and Taker both attach themselves to his sides. I turn back to look for Jeff and see him sitting on a chair with his girls around him giving him kisses. He looks up and sees me watching and sends me a smile. I stand back, knowing that his friends don't really like me much and let him and them have fun. Jeff dances with everyone at the party even Chuck and I get jealous over every single guy. I know Jeff loves me but it's still hard for me to see him with other guys. Soon, it's time for him to open his presents. He sits down as his buddies start handing him stuff, telling him their good news. He hugs every single one of them and when Matt and Lance tell him he's going to be an uncle, I don't think I've ever seen Jeff get that excited. Finally, it's my turn. I swallow, suddenly nervous as I drop to one knee in front of him. "Jeff, you know I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't know if you want the same but I have to ask before I completely lose my nerve. Will you marry me?" The room has fallen silent and Jeff just sits there staring at me. I try smiling at him but that doesn't seem to do much good, as I am too nervous to actually smile. "Are you serious?" I pull out the ring and show it to him. He gasps and takes the box from me. When he looks up next it's with tears in his eyes. Just as I am expecting him to say no, he grins and nods his head. I look at him taking a few minutes to digest the fact that he wants to marry me. I take the ring box from his hands and slip the ring onto his finger. "I swear to you Jeff, I'll make you the happiest man alive." He pulls me down for a hug and a kiss and as he's hugging me I hear him whisper in my ear. "You've already made me the happiest man on earth Sean. You love me and nothing could make me happier." THE END |
