“I already told you no!”

“Yeah, but come on,” Randy pushed, grinning at his tag partner. “He’s 20 years old, Edge! Are you seriously saying you don’t want a piece of that ass?”

Edge sighed. “I’m back together with Christian, Randy. I’m not interested.”

“But Christian isn’t even here!” Randy exclaimed. “Hell, I was fucking lots of guys when I was dating Dave.”

“Which is probably why he dumped you,” Edge snapped.

“Hey, if he can’t handle me being hot, that’s his damn problem.” Randy shrugged. “Kenny is one fine, fine piece of ass, Edge.”

“He hasn’t even offered, Randy!” Edge pointed out.

“He would do it.” Randy grinned lasciviously. “We tell him there may be a place for him in Rated RKO, and his legs’ll spread like butter.”

“But there isn’t a place for him in Rated RKO,” Edge countered.

“So?” Randy chuckled. “He’ll be willing to get fucked, just for the chance.”

“I’m not going to take advantage of a sweet young boy,” Edge stated.

“Sweet!” Randy snorted. “Come on, Edge. That boy is as sweet and innocent as I was at his age!”

“Weren’t you?” Edge shot Randy a piercing look.

Randy fidgeted uncomfortably. “You should never believe what someone tells you when they’re drunk,” he muttered. “Anyway, I bet that boy’s had too many dicks up his ass to count. Come on, I’ll let you fuck him first.”

“No!” Edge groaned as a knock came at the door, and Kenny peeked his head in.

“Hey guys,” the enthusiastic young man said. “Randy said you wanted to see me?”

Edge shot Randy a look. “Kenny,” he said softly, “we appreciate that you’ve been embarrassed, and you want to attach yourself to two main eventers like us, but - ”

“We’re gonna need some more – persuasion,” Randy interrupted, licking his lips and raking his eyes over Kenny’s body.

Kenny frowned, looking between them. “But I took out Shawn Michaels. Doesn’t that show how much I can help you?”

“We were looking for a different kind of help,” Randy murmured, letting his hand drift down to his crotch.

“Randy!” Edge growled warningly.

“What do you say, Kenny?” Randy purred, rubbing himself through his trunks.

Kenny swallowed, his heart beginning to beat rapidly. “Uh. I – you mean to be in Rated RKO, you want me to - ”

“No, we don’t.” Edge walked over to Kenny, putting an arm around the young man’s shoulders and turning him towards the door. “We’re just not real inclined to add anyone to Rated RKO. It’s nothing personal, I’m sure you’re a great guy.”

“But – but I can be useful!” Kenny insisted. “I can help, really!”

“Well, we’ll keep you in mind,” Edge told him, ushering him out the door.

“Aw, come on, man!” Randy scowled at the tall blonde. “If you don’t want any, you could at least let me get a piece!”

Edge shook his head. “You’re not gonna use me to trick boys into bed, Randy. If you wanna sleep with him, do it on your own.”

“Fine,” Randy snapped, standing and marching for the door. “I’m gonna get some water, you want any?” he snapped.

Edge shook his head, relieved when Randy had left. He reached into his bag and pulled out his cell phone, dialing his favorite number.

“’Lo?”

Edge grinned. “I love how you answer the phone, baby,” he murmured.

“You love everything about me, lately,” replied his lover.

“Yeah.” Edge sighed happily. “I love you so much Christian. I love you so, so much.”

“So totally much?” Christian teased.

Edge laughed. “Total lovaliciousness,” he confirmed.

Christian chuckled. “I love you too, Edge. I can’t wait to see you again.”

“Me too. I left you my traveling schedule, right?” Edge questioned.

“For the thousandth time, baby, yes. I’ll meet you at your house when you get back.”

“Great.” Edge played with the strap on his bag. “Orton’s being an ass again. I’m definitely not going to mention to him that we might not be – you know – exclusive.”

“He’s hitting on you?”

“No.” Edge sighed. “You saw RAW, right?”

“Of course.”

“Well, he wants us to lead Kenny to believe there might be a place for him in Rated RKO, if he’ll sleep with us.”

“That’s awful!” Christian exclaimed.

“Yeah. He’s really been pushing it.” Edge shook his head. “I hope the poor kid doesn’t agree to sleep with him. He does seem like a sweet young thing.”

“Mmmhmm.” There was a slight pause, then Christian spoke again, sounding a bit hesitant. “So – do you think that you will be – you know?”

Edge swallowed. “I don’t know, baby. I don’t want to, but it’s so hard being alone in bed when you’re in love.”

“I know,” Christian agreed.

“Have you?” Edge asked.

“No. I don’t know if I will.” Christian cleared his throat. “But Edge, we have to be realistic. We can’t be together all the time. If you want to, then you should. Just – well, but honest with me about it.”

“I will, baby. I’ll tell you everything.” Edge blushed. “Well, I mean, maybe not everything, but you know.”

“Yeah.” Christian laughed awkwardly. “This is so weird. I mean, it being awkward to talk to you. We always shared everything.”

Edge closed his eyes, feeling a lump in his throat. “It’ll get easier, baby. I know this is hard, but being apart from you – that was killing me.”

“Me too,” Christian said softly. “I love you with all my heart, Edge.”

“I love you too,” Edge whispered, feeling tears sting his eyes. He had gone over a year without hearing those words, and just hearing them again brought him to the brink of joyful tears.

“Gotcha a water,” Randy announced, barging back into the room.

Edge quickly wiped at his eyes, scowling at Randy as the water was flung at him. He caught it before it hit his chest. “I gotta go, baby. I’ll call you after the show, ok?”

“Ok. Love you.”

“Love you,” Edge echoed, hanging up the phone.

“Great news.” Randy grinned, brandishing a keycard in Edge’s face.

“What is it?” Edge snapped.

“Kenny’s room key.” Randy wiggled the card in Edge’s face. “One hot and ready 20 year old. One king sized bed.”

“Have fun.” Edge slid his cell phone back into his bag, his thoughts lingering on Christian.

“Oh, it’s not for me.” Randy tossed the card into Edge’s lap. “I got a call from the hotel a few minutes ago. Turns out they’re overbooked, and we don’t have a room. Kenny was kind enough to volunteer to share.”

Edge just stared at him. “Randy, if you think I’m sharing one bed with you and him - ”

“Oh, don’t worry about me.” Randy grinned. “I’ve got a place to crash. I thought this would give you some time to get to know Kenny. See how - *useful* he could be.”

Edge shook his head, reaching for his cell phone. “I’m gonna give the hotel a call.”

“Go ahead.” Randy crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m not lying.”

Edge was perturbed to discover that Randy was, in fact, telling the truth. After 15 frustrating minutes on the phone with the hotel, he hung up the phone, glancing at the card in his lap.

Randy smirked at him. “You spend a night with that beautiful ass, and then tell me he’s not worth fucking,” he chuckled.

Edge just groaned, closing his eyes and leaning back against the lockers.

Kenny waited nervously in his hotel room. He had left the show as soon as he could slip away, spending a while in his room grooming himself to perfection. He stood gazing into the mirror, running a hand over his short, neat hair.

“I can do this. I can do this,” he repeated to himself. “I *want* to do this.” He took a deep breath, his heart nearly leaping out his chest when he heard the door open. He rushed into the main room, giving Edge his most appealing smile. “Hey,” he murmured.

Edge glanced over at Kenny, swallowing when he saw that the 20 year old was glowing, and clad only in a fluffy hotel robe. “Hey,” he returned. He set his bag down, glancing at the large bed. “Look, Kenny, I think Randy gave you the wrong idea. I’m ‘married’, and I love my partner.”

“Oh.” Kenny fidgeted. “Randy said that you two – that you were into other people, when you were on the road.”

Edge cursed his tag partner, musing that Randy must have overheard one of his private conversations with Christian. He was not at all happy that Randy had that particular piece of information. “We’re just getting back together,” he explained honestly, “and being with other people while we’re apart is something that we’ve talked about, but we’re really not sure about it yet.”

Kenny sat down on the corner of the bed, looking down at the floor. “So you don’t want me,” he whispered.

Edge cursed again Randy for getting him into this situation. “Kenny, isn’t there anyone that you like?” he questioned, hoping he might be able to draw the young man’s attention away from him.

Kenny just shrugged. He glanced up at Edge, and, on an impulse, stood and pulled open his robe. Edge couldn’t help but look. Kenny’s body was smooth, and perfect, and arousing. Edge snatched his cell phone out of his bag, charging into the bathroom. “I have to make a call,” he told Kenny as he closed the door. He frantically dialed Christian’s number, swearing when the voicemail picked up. He tried calling twice more, but his lover didn’t answer.

“Aw shit.” Edge took a deep breath, cursing his treacherous body. The truth was, he was aching for sex. It had been a week since he had seen Christian, and even though they had made love constantly, his body was still burning for more. Just the thought of Christian made him hot, and masturbation just wasn’t satisfying him. He took another deep breath, willing his cock to relax. Christian had said it was ok for him to sleep with someone else, but Edge hadn’t expected it to be an issue so soon. All he wanted was his Christian. He was crazy about Christian.

However, his physical needs were making themselves apparent. His cock was begging for attention, and the thought of a willing partner waiting in the other room was almost impossible to resist. Taking a deep breath, Edge looked in the mirror, running a hand through his hair. “I’ll tell Christian about it,” he whispered. “No lies. No lies.” Nodding to himself, he took another deep breath, then re-entered the main room.

Kenny stood, his robe still open.

“Look, Kenny,” Edge stated, trying to control his racing heart, “If you’re only doing this to get into Rated RKO, I think I should leave. Randy and I aren’t planning on adding anyone, despite what Randy might have told you.”

“I know.” Kenny swallowed. “Randy wanted to stay with me, but I told him no. You’re so beautiful, Edge, I just want to sleep with you. I know you’re married, I’m not asking to be your boyfriend. I just want you.” He walked slowly up to Edge, boldly putting his hand on Edge’s straining jeans. “You’re hard,” he whispered. “I want you.”

Edge couldn’t control himself any more. He seized Kenny about the waist, kissing him ferociously as he backed them towards the bed. Kenny wound his arms about Edge’s neck, his erection pressing into Edge’s stomach. Edge pushed Kenny down onto his back, his hands all over the boy’s body. Kenny groaned, delighting in the feeling of being kissed and caressed without restraint. He let the robe slide off his shoulders, throwing himself wholeheartly into making love with Edge.

“Ohhh.” Kenny lay his head on Edge’s chest, gazing off into space. “It was better than I ever imagined.”

“Sleeping with me?” Edge murmured, his body momentarily content.

“No. Sex.” Kenny sighed happily.

Edge closed his eyes, a sinking feeling gripping his stomach. “Kenny,” he said slowly, “don’t tell me you’ve never - ”

“No. Yes. I mean, sort of.” Kenny shrugged, still relaxing against Edge’s chest. “Never that, exactly. I’ve gone down on guys before.”

Edge bit his tongue before the words ‘Oh, shit’ could slip out. He had indulged his carnal desires, and he had to do it with the only virgin on the roster.

“Don’t freak out,” Kenny murmured, feeling the tension in Edge’s body. “I wanted to do it, and I’m not expecting you to coddle me. I’ve just been waiting for the right time.” He folded his hands over Edge’s chest, propping his chin on his hands and meeting the blonde’s concerned gaze. “I don’t really want to get into a relationship right now,” he explained, “I just wanna have fun, get some experience in bed. But I don’t wanna get used by some jerk, either.” He smiled up at Edge happily. “When Randy suggested we room together, I knew it was perfect. You're sweet, and you’re the best looking guy on the roster.”

Edge was quiet for a moment, impressed by Kenny’s coherent argument. “I don’t really know what to say,” he murmured at last.

Kenny lay his head on Edge’s chest once more, sighing in contentment. “As long as you’ll hold me, I’m cool,” he murmured.

Edge wrapped his arms around Kenny, stroking his back affectionately. He wasn’t entirely sure how he felt about this, although the physical release he had experienced was a huge relief. “Kenny?” he questioned softly after a few minutes of silence.

“Mmm?” Kenny replied, sounding half asleep.

“Would you be offended if I called Christian?” Edge queried. “I can go into the bathroom if you want.”

“No, stay,” Kenny replied, softly stroking Edge’s sides. “I don’t mind if you call him.”

“Ok.” Edge shifted slightly, just able to reach the phone without disturbing Kenny. He dialed in the number, and Christian picked up after a few rings.

“It’s Christian,” chimed his lover’s voice.

“Hey baby,” Edge greeted.

“Hey! You calling from your hotel?”

“Yeah. I – uh – the phone was closer.” Edge swallowed. “Christian, I’ve had a, uh, a happening.”

“A happening?” Christian sounded amused by the phrasing.

“Yes. Well, uh - ” Edge took a deep breath. “You know how I said I wasn’t sure if I wanted to – you know?”

“Yes?” Edge couldn’t quite decipher the tone of Christian’s voice.

“Well it, uh, it turned out that parts of me wanted to – you know – more than I thought,” Edge stuttered.

“For god’s sake, Edge, just come out and say it,” Christian reprimanded. “I know this is hard, but we can’t do this running-around-the-bush shit.”

“Ok.” Edge took another deep breath, his hand stroking Kenny’s back. “An opportunity came up for me to – be with someone else, and I took it.” The line was silent, making Edge bite his lip. “Baby?”

“I understand,” Christian said softly. “I’m going crazy too. Who was it?”

“You wanna know?”

“Of course. I want to know everything, Edge. I can’t trust you unless you tell me everything,” Christian stated.

“Right.” Edge winced as he remembered all the things he had ‘neglected’ to tell his lover when they had been split up, culminating in their breakup. “It was Kenny, from Spirit Squad.”

“Formerly from Spirit Squad,” Kenny murmured into Edge’s chest.

“Is he there?” Christian asked.

“Well, I didn’t want to throw him out after we – had sex.” Edge forced himself to say it, even though he almost choked on the words.

“Well. Good, you shouldn’t have,” Christian agreed.

“The hotel was overbooked,” Edge explained, “and Randy arranged for us to room together, in the hope that it might lead to a threesome, or something. I didn’t think I would sleep with him, but I thought of you, and I want you so badly, baby.”

“I know exactly what you mean.” Christian was quiet for a moment. “Did it help?”

“Physically, yeah.” Edge gazed down at Kenny, who seemed to have dozed off. “Are you really ok, baby?” he whispered.

Christian sighed. “I miss you,” he whispered. “I want you to be happy, Edge. If sleeping with him helps, I want you to do it. I don’t want us to be apart, but we don’t really have a choice, so we have to do the best we can.”

“Yeah.” Edge ran his hand up Kenny’s spine, appreciating the young man’s supple flesh. “He really is beautiful,” he murmured. “It makes me feel better to have someone in my arms. He knows the deal, says he’s cool with it.”

“Good. Good. We don’t want to be breaking any hearts.” Christian chuckled, but there was little mirth in his voice. “Just be fair to him, Edge.”

“I will,” Edge promised. “I love you, Christian. I love you so much it hurts.”

“Don’t say that.” Christian’s voice sounded choked. “I think I’m gonna go out on the town, try to think about something other than missing you,” he whispered.

“I’ll be home in a few days, baby. And you better be ready for me!” Edge grinned at the thought. “I’m not gonna let you away from me, not for one moment!”

“You better not!” Christian laughed, genuinely this time. “I love you, Edge. Night.”

“Night, baby.” Edge hung up the phone. He smiled at the thought of his lover, and took comfort in the warm body curled up against him.
