When Shane made it up to Tania’s hotel room, he was a little surprised to find the door slightly ajar. Not quite sure what to expect, he actually let out a small sigh of relief to see her pacing back and forth. “If you keep doing that you are going to run a hole in the floor you know.” “Funny.” Rolling her eyes, Tania let her arms cross across her chest. Lips pursed, she simply watched Shane for a moment. “Thanks for coming.”

“No problem. You said something about Adam threatening you…?”

Tania gave a small nod. “Yeah. This was brought to my attention just a short time ago.” Fingertips trailing over the note on the table, Tania held it out for Shane to take. She watched him gently tug it from her fingers and open it. Eyes scanning over the words, he frowned and crumpled it up.

“It’s a joke. The guy is all bark and no bite Tania. I wouldn’t be worried at all.” Shane assured. Testing the weight, Shane tossed it across his body and into the garbage can. “You’re sure it’s him though?”

With a heavy sigh, Tania fell onto the bed. “Oh yeah. Adam’s the only one that has been referring to me as a slut. It has to be him.” Tania had to laugh at it a bit. To the normal person she might actually appear to be nothing more than a slut. She was ‘with’ Shane in some sense of the word and getting to hang around Randy all the time. Two of the hottest WWE stars on each of her arms.

“Like I said, don’t worry about it.” Crawling onto the bed, Shane was careful to hold his weight up overtop of Tania. Giving a small smile, he simply gazed over her for a moment. “You are so beautiful.”

Tania couldn’t find any words to say. It had been the last thing she expected. All she did was watch as Shane’s body slowly hovered closer to hers, his soft lips just inches away from hers. The sudden urge to kiss him again was creeping up in her. The desire to feel wanted.

Shane also must have had the same desire, because without any warning his mouth descended upon hers. The pressure of his lips against hers caused her to moan, mouth parting just slightly. Shane saw that as his opportunity and allowed for his tongue to slip just inside.

It was as though all coherent thought began to slip her mind and reaching up, Tania allows her arms to snake around his neck. Pulling him closer, she arched her body up along his and the kiss grew hungrier. Never in her past had she become to physical with a guy after such a short time before, but as clichéd as it sounded he wasn’t just any guy.

He was sweet, charming and good looking. He made her feel special, and wanted. Wasn’t that what every woman wanted? When Shane’s thigh slipped between her legs and pressed up against her, Tania’s mind suddenly became a jumble of words and thoughts. All she could understand was the feel of his touch on her body.

“Tania-” Shane finally gasped, breaking away from the kiss. Nuzzling into her neck, he inhaled the aroma of her perfume. “We need to stop.”

“No we don’t.” She didn’t want to, he didn’t want to, where was the problem?

Shane sighed, his breath tickling the side of her neck. “Yeah, we do. If this goes any further then we won’t make the plane.” To prove his point, Shane sat up. Up until Shane mentioning it, Tania had pretty much forgotten about flying out to the next show on the McMahon jet.

“Yeah, I momentarily forgot about that.” Bracing herself up on her arms, Tania bit the inside of her lip. “So you’re sure I shouldn’t be worried about Adam at all?”

Shane gave a small nod. “Totally. Look, if it makes you feel better I’ll go and talk to him. Let him know that if he even thinks about trying anything that he’ll be hitting the unemployment line faster than he can say heavyweight champion.”

A smile played on her lips in hearing the championship metaphor. Tania always thought it was funny that for how long Adam had been part of the company and in singles competition that he hadn’t won the title. She wondered if it had anything to do with the obvious history between him and Shane. “Thank you.”

Seeing the uncertainty on her voice, and the unsure ness in her voice, Shane slipped off the bed and leaned in front of her. Hand resting on her knees Shane smiled. “Trust me. I won’t let anything happen to you. No one will hurt you, especially Adam.”

“I know.” Tania assured. “I guess this has just been quite a bit going on for me. It’s only been, what? Two days, really.”

“Yeah, it has.” Shane was a little shocked himself. Suddenly he was thrown into this big mess over some girl he hadn’t really gotten to know. He was head over heel for her, attracted both physically and sexually.

With a quick pull of her hands out from under her, Tania fell back flat onto the bed. “I don’t regret it though. Just so you know.”

Shane chuckled, turning to look at Tania. “Good. And for the record, I don’t regret it either. You definitely are different from all the other women.”

“All the other women?” Raising an eyebrow, Tania was definitely intrigued. She wanted to know how she was being compared to the rest of the loves that had been in Shane’s life, not that she even considered herself close to being his love. “Pray tell…”

“You know what I meant Tania.”

Chuckling, she knew she Shane had her. “Damn. Here I was hoping that you’d kiss and tell so I’d know where I would compare.” Tania teased. Brushing a strand of hair out of her face, she turned her head to look at Shane. “What is this, anyhow?”

“What is this, what?”

“This thing. Whatever is going on between you and I.” Tania was curious if his idea of where their relationship was going remained the same.

Rolling onto his side and letting his arm sling over her stomach, Shane chuckled. “Don’t worry Tania, I was serious about what I said before. I’d really love for you to consider trying to have this become a serious relationship.”

“Isn’t this a little quick?”

“Anything that’s worth something in life entails that you have to take a risk.” Shane pointed out. Things weren’t given to you for free. Even growing up in a family with money he had learned that lesson.

“Wow. You just went all philosophical on me.” A moment of silence passed between the two of them before they both broke into a fit of giggles. Lying on the bed for a bit, they enjoyed the moment and each other’s company.

“You want some help taking your stuff down to the limo?”

Tania calmed herself down and looked up. “Limo?”

“Of course.” Shane affirmed. “You’re riding with me, and I ride in style. In luxury.” He wanted her right close next to him the entire time. Though he had assured her that Adam was to be of no concern, he still wanted to keep an eye out. He had no idea what games Adam was playing and knew that they needed to be stopped almost immediately.
