He couldn't believe his luck...
The Gods must have been looking out for him, paying him some sort of huge honor in presenting him the gift of the beautiful woman standing at his side. Well, she wasn't his just yet, but that was only a matter of time...
Adam grinned as Amy turned to look up into his eyes, a soft smile on her face. God, she was so beautiful and precious, he just wanted to grab her and kiss her, and... Okay, and just plain *ravage* her. And damn it, he had to stop trying to picture her naked, stop trying to envision what sex with her would be like. He sure as hell couldn't afford having to deal with a more than noticeable hard on in the snug wrestling tights he was currently donning.
However, he allowed his gaze to scan slow and longingly over her body. Since she'd returned to action after her own neck surgery, she'd changed her in-ring dress. Now, instead of the baggy pants with her thong sticking out - which, ironically or not, had been *his* idea - she now wore extra short shorts that showed plenty of leg. She favored a pair of nearly knee-high combat boots as well, and her usual tops. At the moment, she was wearing a mesh, see-through black top with a red bra underneath.
It was all Adam could do to prevent himself from drooling...
'Damn it, Adam! Focus! *Focus*!' he suddenly told himself, forcing himself to tear his eyes away from the redhead's luscious body. There would be plenty of time for him to check her out later. By the time he got through with her, Amy would pretty much be eating out of his hands... And any kind of feelings she might have for Jay would be squashed and forgotten. That was, if she really *had* any feelings for the other man.
Suddenly, the redhead turned to face him, and Adam found himself feeling relieved he'd stopped staring at her various bodyparts. Now, he gave her a warm smile as their eyes met. This was good... The way she was looking at him felt good and right.
"This is so cool!" she exclaimed, hazel eyes sparkling as she looked up into Adam's face. She was referring to the fact that, starting tonight on RAW, Edge and Lita would finally be teaming up. For four years now, she'd been wanting to work with him - and she knew the blond man had wanted to work with her as well. And now, it was finally becoming a reality. Tonight, they were competing in an intergender tag team match against Matt Hardy and Molly Holly. Later on, in weeks to come, the plan was for Edge to become Lita's white knight. The storyline was not exactly another Chris Jericho-Trish Stratus, but he would get to confess having feelings for the redhead - to which she would confess having the same. Then, the two of them would figuratively walk off into the sunset together.
Adam wondered how long it would take for them to *really* walk off into the sunset...
"Yeah..." he finally spoke. "This is *very* cool. In fact, I can't believe it's taken this long for us to have the opportunity to work together - cohesively." Sure, he and the diva had worked together plenty in the past, but their characters had been bitter enemies. This time, that would not be the case.
Adam licked his lips as he thought about how, now that they would be together on-screen, he would get to spend a lot more time with Amy *off*-screen as well.
He thought about how long he'd waited for this opportunity. It had been a long time coming, and even more so after they'd each suffered neck injuries. But now, nothing could stop them...
The tall blond man noticed how Amy's beautiful smile had broadened on her lovely face.
"Ames...?"
"I can't help feeling so excited!" the redhead cried. Damn it, but he could swear he was seeing a sparkle in her hazel eyes - a definite good sign. In her happy excitement, Amy moved closer to him, throwing her arms around him.
Adam tightened his arms around her slender but toned form, holding her close against him. His eyes closed as he inhaled deeply, taking in the delicious scent of the diva's fragrant red hair. God, she felt so good in his arms - like she *belonged* there.
And she *did* belong there. He was determined to make her see it the way he did...
Suddenly, a stagehand tapped each of them on their shoulders, giving them their cue.
"Ready?" Amy asked, a grin on her face as she eyed him.
"Ready..." Adam grabbed her hand, giving it a firm squeeze.
Then, the two of them stepped through the curtain. It was time to make Edge and Lita a reality...
