The early morning sun touched her body. He was awake and just watching her sleep. They were both naked. After the night they had had together, he only wanted her even more, but as much pleasure the sight of her naked body brought him, it also brought him anger. The split eyebrow was far from the only thing Corbin had left on her body. There were bruises spread out all over her body and a bitemark in her shoulder. That fucking bitemark. As if Corbin thought he could mark her as his. No, she wasn't Corbin's. She was his and his alone. Now that he finally had her, he wasn't about to let her go again. He traced his fingers around the bitemark, wishing he somehow could make it go away. She started stirring and shortly after she opened her eyes.

"Hey," she said, first looking into his eyes, then moving her eyes towards his hand.
"I hate that fucking mark," he said in a low tone.
"It'll disappear. They always do," she said.
"That doesn't change anything," he said.

She sighed.

"What do you want me to do about it? Put on a shirt so you won't have to look at it?" She asked.
"No!" He said and moved his arm down around her waist.

He pulled her up on his arm and kissed the top of her head.

"No, you should never have to cover up in front of me. You have nothing to feel ashamed about. It's just my manhood being hurt that I wasn't there to protect you when it happened," he said.
"It's okay," she said.
"But I'm here now," he said.

He placed his hand under her chin and lifted up her head to look her in the eyes.

"I'm here now and I'm not leaving ever again," he said.

A little while later they were both dressed and getting ready to leave the hotel.

"I still need my things," she said.
"You're not going in there alone," he said.
"It's just three doors down and he might not even be back yet from the hospital," she said.
"It's not a chance I'm willing to take. I'm coming with you," he said.

They walked to her hotel room and she unlocked the door. They looked inside. No sign of Corbin.

"See," she said and smiled.

She hurried to gather her stuff, left the keycard on the table and closed the door behind her again.

"So now you're completely free of him?" He asked.
"Not quite. I still got a lot of stuff in our home but I doubt he'll let me collect that once he realizes I'm gone," she answered.
"Screw that. I'm gonna buy you whatever you need. A whole new damn wardrobe if needed," he said.
"That's too much. I could never accept that," she said.

He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close.

"Let me spoil you for a little bit. Show you how a real man takes care of his woman," he said.

She was about to protest again but he drowned her words with a kiss.

"But..." She tried as they broke the kiss.

Once again he leaned in and cut her off.

"I'm gonna continue doing that until you agree," he said and chuckled.
"Fine," she said and smiled. "You win."

He reached in his pocket, took out the car key and handed it to her.

"Here. Go start up the car. I'm gonna grab my bag, check on Joseph and Sheamus and then check out," he said.
"Okay," she said and took the key.

He gave her a quick kiss.

"I'll be down soon," he said.
"Take your time," she said and walked to the elevator.

She rode down to the basement floor where the parking lot was. It was a bit dark down there. She walked to his car, unlocked it and opened the trunk. She put her bag in the trunk and closed it again. A hand suddenly grabbed her arm and she dropped the car key on the ground. She was slammed up against one of the pillars and came face to face with Corbin.

"Where do you think you're going?" He sneered.
"Please Corbin," she whispered.

He slapped her.

"I asked you a question," he raised his voice.
"I'm leaving you!" She yelled.

He grabbed her shoulders and slammed her once more into the pillar.

"No, you're not. I'll kill you before that ever happens," he growled.
"You don't scare me anymore," she said, her voice trembling with fear though.

He let out a loud, mean laugh.

"I don't scare you? Let's see about that," he said.

He put his hand to her throat and squeezed. She gasped for air and tried to pull it away but he was too strong. He just stared at her with cold eyes.

"Still not feeling scared?" He asked mockingly while squeezing tighter. "How about now?"

He reached for her dress with his free hand, pulling it up to her waist.

"Get off her!" Drew's voice sounded through the entire parking lot.

She felt Corbin's hands leave her and saw him being thrown through the air. She fell down to the ground, still gasping for air with tears running down her face. She looked up to see Drew punching Corbin through her tears. Drew grabbed Corbin's shirt and yanked him up so his face was close.

"Here's the deal. You're gonna call Hunter and ask to be released from your contract. You're never stepping foot in this company again. You're never gonna go anywhere near Vanessa again or this will be your life from now on. I'll find you every fucking day and make your life a living hell until I've broken every god damn bone in your body. Am I making myself clear?" He sneered.
"Yes," Corbin whimpered.

Drew grabbed Corbin's hair and forced him to look towards Vanessa.

"You take one last look at her because you're never gonna see her again. I told you I'd take her from you. And you know what?" He said, leaning in to whisper the last part. "For every time you made her scream in pain, I'm gonna make her scream in pleasure. For every time you put her hands on her to hurt her, I'm gonna put my hands on her to pleasure her."

He let go of Corbin and walked over to her. She was still on the ground. He bent down and helped her to her feet. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in his shirt. He stroked her hair.

"Ssh, don't worry, love. I'm here now," he spoke softly.
"Don't ever leave me," she cried.
"I won't, love. I promise, I won't," he said.

They walked over to the car. He picked up the car key from the ground and his bag that he had dropped minutes before when he had come down there and seen what was going on. He sat in the driver's seat as she took the passenger's seat. He started the car and they drove out in silence. Once out on the road he reached over and grabbed her hand.

"You're never gonna see him again," he said.

She nodded, then turned her head and looked at him.

"What did you whisper to him?" She asked.

He cracked a smile.

"I just told him how good I'm gonna treat you for the rest of your life," he said.
