AUSTIN'S POV

The night we came back from England was, by far, the best night of my life. When Katelyn and I got back to my house, there was torrential rain and we both got soaked to the bone, running from the kerbside to my front door. As soon as the front door was closed and locked behind us, we both dropped our bags and attacked each other. Her hands were on either side of my face, my fingers woven through her hair, holding her to me. My tongue slipped between her lips and I heard her sigh quietly. I let my hands slide down, through her hair, to her back and underneath her vest. As my hand grazed across her breast, Katelyn pulled back and looked at me through her long eyelashes. I felt her palm me through my jeans, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
'You're not going to stop this again, are you?' I asked her. She looked at me as though I was accusing her of being a cocktease. 'No, I don't mean it like that. I mean that I can't keep doing this. I want you so much Katelyn, but I...'
'Don't finish that sentence,' she said, her voice barely a whisper. 'I have my appointment on Thursday. This is it. We will be together after then. That's in the future. Right now, I want you to take me upstairs and fuck me.' She held out her hand for me, which I took, and led her upstairs, where jetlag kicked in and we both promptly fell asleep.

Thursday morning, Kyle picked me up and we went down to PC together to train and work on some promos with the guys. After a hectic morning in the practice ring, I was glad to be able to sit down for five minutes and relax a little. I'm thankful to Kyle and the guys for keeping my mind occupied, otherwise I would've gone crazy, sat at home, waiting for Katelyn to call. I had just headed back to the practice ring, water bottle in hand, when the call came. I took my cell phone out of my shorts pocket, saw her name pop up and smile. This was it. I cleared my throat and answered the call.
'Hey girl, what's up?' I answered, nonchalantly.
'Where are you?' Came her reply, her voice flat, like she was fighting back tears.
'I'm at PC at the minute,we're going to head to Fran's soon for lunch.'
'Can I stay with you for a while?' I heard her take a deep breath and the tears flowed. 'Drew and I had a fight and he stormed out.'
'Of course you can baby girl.'
'I have Bruce with me and I'm just about to go and pick AJ up from Cary's. I'll be with you about 1.30 ish.'
'Have you eaten today?'
'No.'
'Okay, I'll get you a sandwich and a shake from Fran's and meet you at PC.'
'Thanks Austin. I'll see you soon.'
'See you later baby girl.' Katelyn hung up and I put my phone back in my pocket.
'Everything okay buddy?' Kyle asked.
'Um, yeah. It's fine. Shall we go to lunch soon? I'm starving. I just want to head upstairs and see Hunter for a sec.'
'Meet me outside and we'll head out.' I left the guys and went in search of Hunter. I found him in one of the conference rooms, looking through a stack of paperwork. I knocked on the open door. 'Sir, do you have a minute?' He looked up and smiled.
'Of course Austin, come in. What do I owe the pleasure?' I walked in and sat down as he picked up the remote and hit pause on the video he had on the big screen TV. 'How was your flight back?'
'It was good. Kinda glad to be back home.'
'Y'know, I had Drew here last Thursday. I didn't realise there was so much animosity between the two of you. I thought you guys were friends.'
'I'd use that term very loosely...'
'Is there any truth in the rumors about you and his wife?'
'That's kind of why I'm here. Katelyn has been trying to find a way out of her marriage for a while and I believe she's finally leaving him.'
'But why? What do you have to do with it all?'
'Katelyn and I love each other, Drew has been getting extremely jealous and he has been abusing her. You must remember what happened at Christmas, when both Kate and I ended up in the emergency room. That could've been AJ.'
'What are you not saying here?'
'Katelyn is leaving him. She called not long ago and said that she needs a place for her and AJ to stay for a while. I want her back down in NXT, so I can protect her.'
'What do you suggest?'
'I've said she can stay with me, I have no problem with that...'
'But don't you live in Drew's old house?'
'Yeah, I do. I'm going to sell it and buy another house, maybe within the same neighborhood because I like it there.'
'Why doesn't Katelyn and AJ come to stay with me and Stephanie for a while? This will be all over the media as soon as divorce proceedings commence and you both need to do some damage control. Having Katelyn live with you right away could make it look like the rumors about you two are true. Let her stay with us and we will all work through this as a family. As with work, I will call Vince and tell him what's going on and Katelyn can come back down to NXT, if she wishes.'
'It's what she wants, I know this,' I said, with a conviction that seemed to make Hunter believe me.
'Okay, I'll talk things over with Vince and we will get Katelyn back down to NXT as soon as possible. Can you be honest with me?' I nodded at him and looked down at my shoes. 'You can say this is none of my business, but have you and Katelyn slept together?'
'No, not in the sense that you're thinking.'
'Not even this past weekend?'
'No. When it was clear that Katelyn and I were more than friends, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't have sex with her until she left Drew.' Hunter stared at me, as though he was studying me for a moment.
'You really love her, don't you?'
'Why are people so shocked to find that big bad Adam Cole has a heart? And that it has been captured by her?'
'Because that's just it. Katelyn is a sweetheart and you're the big bad wolf. We could turn this into a storyline...'
'No, absolutely not.' I rose from my chair. 'The guys and I are going to lunch.'
'Fran's?' Hunter asked, hope in his eyes.
'I'll bring you back a slice of coconut cake.'
'You're the best Adam.' I swiftly walked out of his office and went in search of my boys.

After lunch at Fran's with Kyle and Roddy, Bobby said he would stay behind in case Katelyn got there before we got back, the guys and I were walking across the parking lot at PC when I spotted Kate's Range Rover parked by the entrance. Grinning, I almost sprinted into the building and towards our locker room. I opened the door and took in the scene before me, Bobby and Katelyn lay on the floor, making out, with AJ sat on the small couch and Bruce gnawing away at one of Kyle's sneakers in the corner.
'Unky Austin,' AJ shouted, making grabby hands at me. I crossed the room and sat down on the couch next to him. Katelyn and Bobby sprang apart the second they heard us walk into the locker room.
'What the hell?' I said, my mouth kicking in before my brain did. 'You guys are fucking? Katelyn is the hottie you've been fucking?' I was so angry with myself.
'What? No!' Bobby said, somewhat defensively. The way he answered my question made me want to punch him in the face.
'How long has this been going on?' I pressed, not sure I wanted to know the answer.
'It hasn't,' Katelyn sighed. I glanced her way and she looked on the verge of tears. She sat up, took a deep breath and took us through the morning's events. 'You know that Drew and I were going to a fertility clinic.' I nodded, urging her to continue. 'So, you know about the fight.' I nodded. 'Well, I went to Cary's to pick AJ up and saw her in bed with Drew.'
'What caused you to argue?' Roddy asked. A bit of a stupid question, if you ask me.
'Obviously you all know what's been going on these last few months. After the Hall of Fame ceremony, I suggested to Drew that we try for another baby. We went to the fertility clinic this morning to see a specialist, but when we got to the hospital, Drew decided to tell me that I can't have any more kids because I had a hysterectomy last year. I kinda knew he was hiding something from me, but didn't know that it would be something this big. I drove us home, we argued and I told him that I needed some time away from him, Drew stormed out and I went to pack a couple of bags. That's when I called you to ask if we could stay with you.'
'Shit, that is bad,' Bobby said, pulling Katelyn into a hug from behind. He kissed her!! Like I'm not sat right here
'You can stay as long as you like,' I said quickly. She tossed me her keys, which i caught and stood up, making sure to quickly get between her and Bobby.
'I'll let you drive us home then,' she smiled up at me.
'Sure.' I picked up AJ, whilst Katelyn tried to extract Kyle's sneaker from Bruce's mouth. The dog was brave, I know that. I've smelled Kyle's sneakers after a workout and it ain't pretty.

After getting AJ strapped into his car seat and making sure Bruce was hooked up to his harness point, I jumped into the driver's seat of Katelyn's Range Rover, started the engine and backed out of the parking lot, heading home.
'So, confession time. I did buy you lunch, but Hunter saw it and thought it was for him, so I kinda gave it away,' I chuckled.
'That's okay, I'm not terribly hungry anyway,' Katelyn replied.
'Not even for some Fish?'
'Don't, please Austin. It was a moment of weakness and...' She didn't finish the sentence and just stared out of the window.

                  ****************

Katelyn and AJ had been staying with me for a few weeks and everything just felt so natural. Katelyn told Drew the night she left that she wanted a divorce, after he came banging on my door and demanded that Katelyn goes home with him. Since then, Katelyn had seeked out an attorney and started divorce proceedings, we have hired a new nanny for AJ, a wonderful older lady named Hazel, and gotten him a place in pre-kindergarten, Bruce was having the time of his life and so were we. We were looking at putting the house on the market and buying somewhere else. That third night that she stayed, we finally made love and it was everything I imagined it to be. It was more than just sex, it was intimate, sweet little kisses and tender touches, toe-curling orgasms. And that was just me. For the first time I realised that every girl who came before her, that I thought I loved, didn't matter, Katelyn was my soulmate, my everything, and I told her so.

Right now, we're at Full Sail, getting ready for tonight's show. Tonight is Katelyn's return to NXT and I can't wait to see what's in store for us. I'm sat in a meeting with Hunter, Shawn and Katelyn when my phone dings with a text.

UNKNOWN: I'd watch my step if I were you. She will break your heart, just like she did with Drew and Joe.
Me: Who is this?
UNKNOWN: Just call me your fairy Godfather

I put my cell back in my pocket, not wanting to waste any time on whatever or whoever was sending messages like that. Katelyn squeezed my thigh and I looked over at her.
'Everything okay?'
'Yeah, just the guys,' I lied. I couldn't tell her the truth, could I? She has been through so much and now that she's free from the shackles of her abusive  soon to be ex-husband, I don't want to burden her with this. She gave me a look that said she didn't believe me, but I turned my attention to what Shawn was saying.

When the meeting wrapped up and everything was ready for the show, Katelyn and I left the conference room and headed to our locker room. Hunter wanted to give Katelyn her own dressing room, but she insisted that she wanted to share with me and the UE boys. None of them minded, as we usually have Marina with us anyway. I closed the locker room door and Katelyn turned on me.
'Are you going to tell me the truth now?' She asked, arms folded across her chest, making her boobs look bigger. Sighing, I pulled out my cell, opened up my messages and showed her the one that I had been sent. After a moment, she handed the phone back to me and collapsed on the sofa. 'He's never going to leave us be, is he?'
'How do you know it's Drew?'
'Who else would it be, huh?'
'I don't know.' I ran my hands over my face.
'Why didn't you tell me to begin with?'
'Because you've been through enough and I was trying to save you.' Katelyn stood back up and crossed the room to where I was stood by the door. She put her hands on my cheeks and kissed me. 'What was that for?'
'For thinking that I'm worth saving.' I put my arms around her waist and rested my hands on her butt, Katelyn put her arms around my neck. 'Nobody has ever said that to me before.' I kissed her nose.
'You are worth saving from harm baby girl and I am going to prove to you every day until you get sick of me.'
'Austin, I will never get sick of you.' She worked her fingers through my hair and pulled my face down to her level and kissed me like I was water to dampen out a fire. Before either of us knew what we were doing, Katelyn was unbuttoning my jeans and I had hiked her dress up round her waist and pushed her panties aside. Sliding a hand down her chest and stomach, I reached her core and plunged a finger inside her. After a moment or two, I inserted a second finger and used my thumb to rub her little nub.
'Oh God, Austin,' she said, huskily. 'I want you.' She whimpered as I withdrew my fingers from her, only to attack my mouth again. Pressing her core against my strained boxers, I knew that this woman was going to be the death of me. She reached into my underwear and pulled out my cock, stroking it with her hand. I couldn't take much more, just her scent was enough for me to blow. I pushed her back slightly, towards the couch, locking the door on the way, and demanded that she put her hands on the back of the couch so I could take her from behind. She did as I asked, wiggling that peachy ass in the air, and I positioned myself at her entrance, then slammed into her. 'Fuck, Austin!'
'Yep, that's exactly what you're doing, ' I chuckled. I began to find my rhythm, Katelyn meeting my every thrust. Within a few minutes, I was ready to blow.
'Oh God baby, I'm almost there. Keep it there. Mmm, harder baby.' I increased my rhythm and within another minute, we were both spent. Katelyn collapsed on the couch, giggling.
'What is so funny?' I looked at her, confused.
'We just fucked at work.'
'You act like you never did it before.' She shook her head.
'Nope,' she said, popping the P. I got myself presentable again and sat down next to her.
'Really?' I leaned in and kissed her gently. 'I find that hard to believe.'
'I've never done it with you, I mean.' She gulps and looks away, shyly.
'You look so beautiful right now,' I hear myself say. I grab my phone out of my jeans pocket, open up the camera and take a selfie of us. 'See?' I say when I show her the photo.
'Ugh, I look horrible. Delete it, please!'
'No way, José. Besides, you know what they say. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder sweetheart.' I leaned in and kissed her again, drawing in her scent, as though my life depended on it.
