Darkness Finds You (The Darkness Finds You Chronicle- Aleister Black)

Chapter 1: Do Not Disturb

(Hello and welcome to my new story! I hope you all enjoy it! And slight warning of some heavy stuff *ahem* *ahem*! Haha. --TM) 

This is it. I take a deep breath as I stand outside the arena that will be for tonight's taping of NXT. This is what I signed up for all these months ago. 

I pull my crimson hair into a pony tail and I look at myself in my small compact mirror before I slide it back into my bag. I walk in and immediately become immersed with the sounds of people moving around and laughter. 

"Ah! There's our new girl!" I look up to see Triple H approaching me with a hand extended out. "It's really nice to meet you, Lyra." 

"Thank you so much," I say. "It really means so much to me to finally be here." 

"We're glad to have you," Triple responds in a professional yet kind manner. "I'll introduce you to your GM, William Regal." 

I get introduced to William Regal, the GM of NXT before I find my way to the Girls' locker room. I try to keep my head down as I set my stuff down- away from the others as possible. 

As I head back outside, I sit on top of a crate and watch the others on the roster move around until I see someone who makes my eyes widen. 

It's Tommy. I cover my jaw with a hand as I see him walk by- he's wearing a Blackcraft snapback, a Venom Prison tank top and a pair of jeans, he's heavily tattooed, more than he has been since I last saw him three years ago and he's the current NXT champion. I quickly bury my face in my knees and close my eyes. 

November 26, 2015- Blackpool, England. 

It had been a rather interesting but lovely night for me- I was outside of the local pub by myself, away from the chaos inside. I took a deep breath and I enjoyed the feel of the wind through my crimson hair.  

Two people dressed in black approached me- one had a shaven head and the other looked skinny and rather creepy. I start to back away and I run off into an alley where one tackles me to the floor while the other watches- I feel cold steel against my throat, a knife. 

"Help!" I scream and plead. "Someone please help me!" 

"You shut your mouth, luv," I hear a crisp Scottish accent from one of them. "No one is going to save you." 

"We got a problem here?" I hear another voice, this voice had a Dutch accent to it and I see a tall man- looked to be about 6'0", he was tattooed and he had both sides of his head shaved into a mohawk, he had a lip piercing on the side of his bottom lip. He was dressed in a button-down short sleeved shirt and black jeans. 

"Oi! This has nothing to do with you. We found her first so piss off!" The creepy one responded and I watch the other man grin. 

"You see, yes- this does have something to do with me." He spoke in a calm tone, but the way he spoke was chilling the other two to the bone. "It became my problem after you two decided to try and mug this woman. So, why don't you let her go and pick on someone your own size?" 

I was dropped to the ground as the two thugs ran at him- and I watched as he kicked both of them out. I was frozen, I didn't know what to do- but somehow I felt myself backing up at his approach. 

"Easy there, Liefde," He says softly. "I'm not going to hurt you, I'm here to help you." 

"Help me? How do I know to trust you?" I raise a brow. 

"Because if this wasn't my problem, I would have left you alone with them," He explains as he lends his hand to help me up. 

I shake my head in understanding because he's right and I take his hand- he pulls me up on my feet. 

"What's your name, Liefje?"  He asks. 

"L-Lyra," I say- quickly. "I'm Lyra Crowe." He smiles brightly and he extends his hand to me. 

"Well, Lyra," His voice is like velvet and almost intoxicating with the way he speaks. "My name is Tommy. Now that we've met, why don't I take you home?" 

"I'd like that," I tell him. "Thank you." 

Tommy walks with me to his rental car that he's using- which is black and I sit in the front seat. I can smell cologne and smoke coming from inside the car and it drove me crazy. I tried to stay calm but I knew that I wanted Tommy. I wanted him so badly. 

When he walks me to my apartment door - I stop. 

"Thank you for earlier," I say. "Would you like to come in?" 

"No problem. I would but I have a plane to catch tomorrow morning," He says. 

Now or never. I thought. My heart starts racing in my chest- but I couldn't control myself anymore. I put my arm around his neck and I kiss him. 

He seems unsure of what just happened but he does kiss me back- his tongue sweeping across my lower lip, I open my mouth and I feel my tongue duel with his. I moan softly and I pull him closer- I feel him growing in his jeans. He wants me too. 

"This is going to get me into a lot of trouble," Tommy spoke softly as we break away. "But I can make an exception for this one night." 

With a loud bang, I bring him inside- kissing him all the way to my bedroom- I close my door. I push him onto my bed and I unzip my dress- revealing nothing but a pair of underwear beneath. 

He's amazed by the way I look- I straddle his hips and unbutton his shirt- revealing more tattoos underneath. He tosses the shirt aside and kisses me- he kisses down my neck and to my breast, where he takes my nipple into his mouth, I moan- my hips lifting to touch his hard-on in his pants. 

He groans as he keeps sucking on my breast. He pushes his fingers into my panties- fucking my clit with his fingers. I moan loudly and feel myself riding his fingers. 

"You're so wet, Liefde," He groans as he tears the fabric off- leaving me entirely naked. 

I reach for his pants- unbuttoning and unzipping them, with a move of his hips, they're off and we're now completely naked. He flips me over onto my back and continues his kisses- even though I reach down and stroke him, which makes him hiss at my touch. 

"No more foreplay," I whispered as I panted and tugged on his lip ring. "I want you inside me." 

I was pretty sure that I was ravished that night but I loved every second of it- when I woke the next morning, there has been a note left on my pillow. I sat up in bed and opened it up.

Lyra, 

Last night was one of the best nights of my entire life. I'm still thinking about you as I'm leaving Blackpool. I wish I could have stayed longer and gotten to know you better like a true gentleman would but I couldn't because of my traveling schedule, you'll just have to forgive me for that. 

I hope I see you again someday. Thank you for making my trip back to England memorable, I'll never forget it. 

Tommy. 

I cried for the first time in a long time that morning. Because I'd fallen in love with someone who had just been a one night stand. And I didn't have the chance to tell him how I felt. And now, knowing that he's now my co-worker is going to make this even more difficult.
