Not Staying In Ch2

"How are you doing Nikki?" Paige asked as the car pulled up outside her house.

Nikki shook her head, which went along well with the shaking that was consistent across her whole body. "I can't go in. I can't. She said she never wants to see me again, not even at work."

"Well you aren't quitting your job." AJ weighed in from the front seat. "So she'd have to get used to that anyway."

"Not helping AJ." Paige stated before refocusing. "Nikki, think about everything you and Stephanie have gone through. Do you really think she wants to lose you?" Nikki stopped for a second, then shook her head. "Exactly. And you don't want to lose her either. You wouldn't be anywhere near this upset otherwise. You love her, and I know she loves you too."

"You do? But how? You've seen us do is have one kiss and then break up." Saying those words made Nikki began to cry again, but Paige took her hands to try and be reassuring.

"Because one day I saw Stephanie in the ladies' room. She was all singing and dancing, mostly because she didn't know that I was there. She went on about how she had a date with the sexiest woman in the world."

Nikki went red in the face. "Aww, she really said that? Do you see why I can't lose her?"

"You won't lose her. I think it might have even been your first day in the office that she said this, so she's been in love with you since she first laid eyes on you. Love at first sight."

Nikki smiled at this information, then felt sick to her stomach as she realised what happened on that first night, she rejected and pushed Stephanie away, just like Stephanie did too her not long ago. But that as she thought, she began to realise that there was still a chance. "I broke her heart that night Paige, but she didn't give up. She knew that we were meant to be when I didn't, and she fought to make me hers. I want to be hers for the rest of my life, no matter what Seth says. I have to fight for her now."

"That's the spirit, but don't worry about what Seth said, in fact don't think about him at all. I will take care of him. He will make the sincerest apology ever to you on Monday, unless he never wants to have sex again in his life." Nikki laughed at the threat. "Sounds fair. Thank you for this Paige, all of you. And thanks for making me come here. Now I've got to go try and save this." Nikki got out of the car but stopped, looking up at the light on in the bedroom.

Paige came up behind her. "You're going to be ok Nikki. You both will, and then you will have to come see me at work on Monday, to confirm Seth has grovelled enough and because we need to do paperwork to make sure you and the company are protected. I'm not letting either of you get fired for being in love." The way she said that spoke to Nikki that being in a relationship with another woman was not the big deal she was afraid it would be. All that mattered was how in love she was with the woman in that upstairs bedroom, and that she had to save that love. Paige had accepted them for who they were and was helping her save their relationship. Nothing else mattered and for Nikki, anyone who thought differently wasn't worth her time. She hugged Paige, which surprised the other woman, but she hugged back, which cemented a friendship between the two.

"Thanks Paige, but I've got to go to her now." Nikki said.

"Go get her" Paige said as she got in the car. Nikki got a reassuring look From AJ and Charlotte as the car started and disappeared.

Nikki took a deep breath as she tried to open the door quietly, not wanting to alarm Stephanie. Immediately she heard a sound she hoped never to hear again, the sound of Stephanie crying, Nikki could hear the heartbreak in her crying again and rushed up the stairs. Stephanie was lying on the bed, facing away from her. Nikki slowly walked to the bed and sat down, making Stephanie jump as she turned to look at her.

Suddenly, Stephanie jumped into Nikki, wrapping her in a tight hug, kissing the side of her head multiple times. Nikki just held on as tight as she could, feeling extremely emotional as she felt some relief. That relief was not to last as, just as quickly, Stephanie violently pushed herself away.

"I told you not to come here! Why do you do this to me?" Stephanie shouted in an aggressive manner that Nikki was not ready for after the hug.

"What? But? You, you were kissing me there, I thought that it was ok." Nikki felt like she'd taken another punch to the stomach as she couldn't stop herself breaking down again.

"Its not ok! How can it be ok that you're going to just walk out on me one day? I can't let you hurt me like that! If it hurts that bad just thinking about it, what is going to happen to me when you leave for real? The thought of being without you is the worst thing I can think of, so you have to go now, or I will never get over you."

Nikki took a step towards Stephanie, but she took one back in reaction. Nikki tried to wipe the tears from her own eyes but couldn't stop more falling in their place. "Steph, I promise you, everything he said wasn't true. He doesn't know what he was talking about. He doesn't know this side of us. If he saw us this morning, or even right before we left tonight. He would see this isn't a fling for me that I'm going to walk away from."

Stephanie pushed Nikki again. "I don't know what this is to you. What is it? What am I? I have never asked you to do anything except be mine. You told me that you were, and it made me happy. But if you are just lying to please me so you can get what you want, then you're a monster, and you've broken my heart. So, go! Get out of here so you can laugh at me and how stupid I was to ever fall in love with you! I hate you!" Stephanie went to push Nikki once more, but this time Nikki tried to move out of the way. Stephanie only connected with one hand so spun into Nikki, heading for the floor. Nikki slowed her descent with her far hand and went down with her to prevent too much harm. When Stephanie realised that instead of hitting the ground, she was being held, she looked up into Nikki's eyes and saw that same look that she remembered seeing a hundred times a day, every day since their first real kiss.

"You caught me." Stephanie whispered, trying to comprehend what had happened. "Why didn't you just let me fall?"

"I will never let you fall." Nikki whispered back. "I can't. Just like how I can't ever leave you. You don't hate me, you love me, if you didn't you wouldn't be this upset. You're scared, and I get that, I really do. Because the thought of not getting to spend the rest of my life with you is something that upsets me too. And after what he said, I understand that it freaked you out. It freaked me out, but we are not going to let Seth fucking Rollins and his stupid ideas come between us. No matter what he says, or what he believes, he is going to see that he is wrong. But first I need you to see that. Please Steph. I love you, only you and I will never love anyone else for as long as I live. I'm not leaving you ever, and I'm certainly not leaving this room until you see that, and you kiss me again."

Stephanie's face began to break down from hearing that. "Do you mean that? Can you promise? Promise me you'll always be there to catch me." She said, only a little louder than the whisper before.

"Steph, you are my whole world. I promise to always be there when you need me. I will never let anything hurt you again. But please, let me back into your heart."

Stephanie wriggled herself out of Nikki's grasp, Nikki thought to try and stop her, but realised it wasn't the time to be physically forceful. Stephanie turned herself, so she was on her knees. Nikki took the same position opposite her, tying to get a read on how Stephanie was going to react next.

Stephanie didn't look up from the floor as she spoke "Nikki, you never left my heart. How can you, when it already belongs to you. It always will, so I believe you. I have to. I love you, and you love me, right?"

Nikki giggled as she found herself crying tears of relief, some of the tension finally lifting as she wrapped her girlfriend in her arms tightly. "Of course I do. I belong to you, I will never give myself to anyone else as long as I live." She then felt Stephanie return her hug, just as tightly. In that moment, the fear of losing the other left both women and they enjoyed feeling as close as they were. They held each other, neither moving or speaking for several minutes as they both let go of the emotions that were running their minds since Seth's outburst. After a while, Nikki felt Stephanie try to move her head, so they were face to face. She relaxed her grip to grant her request, but Stephanie wasn't trying to look at her. Stephanie slid her cheek against Nikki's and connected their lips together. The kiss felt so sensual it caught Nikki by surprise. She reciprocated and the two found their tongues dancing together, but in a different way as Stephanie brought them both to their bed, lying them down together as they continued kissing. Unlike most of the time one or the other would try and turn the kiss into sex, this time they both kept their hands on the others face and waist, showing their love and their passion for the other until finally, they fell asleep together, Nikki being cradled by the woman she loved more than anything else. It wasn't a position she was used to, but it went s far to help her feel safe and that she had nothing to fear, she wouldn't have changed it for the world.

Nikki woke first the next day, sunshine was pouring in the window, so it wasn't early. She had the idea to fix some breakfast for the pair of them but when she tried to move, Steph pulled her back and applied a vice like grip around her body.

"Please Nikki, don't go anywhere, I really don't want to be apart from you for a second right now." Stephanie whispered, Nikki realising the fear in her voice had not completely gone, but her love was there and was strong, not unlike her grip, which was getting tighter.

"It's ok, babe. I'm not going to leave you for more than a second. I thought you might be hungry, but I know a better way to make you feel better. Just one second, ok?" Stephanie didn't relax her grip much and whined as Nikki got out of her grip only to walk to a drawer and back. Her unhappy expression changed when she saw Nikki had a roll of black duct tape in her hand. Nikki quickly slid her clothes off and climbed back on the bed in nothing but her underwear. She handed the roll of tape to Stephanie, took her face in her now empty hands and kissed her as hard as she could.

"I love you Steph, and I promise I'll never leave you as long as I live, but for now, how about you make sure of it?" Nikki said the last words in such a tone to try and turn Stephanie on, knowing how she loved to be the dominant one in their relationship, particularly when it came to sex. It worked like a charm when Stephanie threw Nikki down onto the bed and grabbed both her wrists, forcing them up through the bars in their headboard. She quickly pulled a length off the roll and began to wrap the tape around, so Nikki's wrists were bound together, and around the bar so she could not bring her hands down or get off the bed at all. Nikki found she had even less movement that usual, Stephanie had used extra to make sure there was no chance of her girlfriend going anywhere. Nikki squirmed as she tested her restraints, wanting to be sure nothing could wreck things, as she knew that seeing her fight her bondage would only serve to add to their desires. Especially Stephanie's, who seemed to feel more like herself once she had Nikki all tied up.

"Oh no, you bring me my tape and now you want to fight it?" Stephanie said, knowing the extra work she had put in. "No no no, my girl, and you are my girl, now and forever, you came back to me, because you can't live without me, and I can't live without you."

"So, you wont ever run from me again either?" Nikki asked, knowing she was taking a risk, but it was something she needed.

Stephanie frowned. "I thought you were going to run from me again, I couldn't take that thought. Now I know that Seth was full of shit, and I'm going to make his life hell starting tomorrow. I don't want us to ever talk about what happened last night, except the kiss, which was phenomenal, and you said that you would like to have Bella-McMahon as your married name. I think that's something we will have to talk about, one day. But right now, I think its better if you don't talk anymore."

Nikki at that moment was more in love with Stephanie than ever at that moment, knowing that she can't wait for that day. She licked her lips as Stephanie came in and sealed them with the tape, wrapping the tape around her head several times before throwing the roll of tape over her shoulder.

"I know I haven't taped your ankles, but there is no way you can run from me like this, and we promised each other a night to remember last night, and it didn't happen. I'm going to make up for lost time." With that, Stephanie's dress, bra and panties all were on their bedroom floor in quick succession. Nikki's eyes grew wide as she watched, a fire starting to burn between her legs. Stephanie reached over and hooked a finger in to Nikki's black panties, slowly pulling them off her body, then twirling them on her finger as she walked around the bed for a moment

Stephanie shook her hair out to make herself look and feel sexier as she looked back at her helpless lover, seeing her naked breasts rise and fall quickly as Nikki's excitement was already high. She stood at the end of the bed, staring into her eyes for a moment before she grabbed both of Nikki's ankles, pulling her legs apart. "Mmmm" Nikki moaned through her gag, more than ready for Stephanie to fully take her. Stephanie climbed onto the bed and, one at a time, threw Nikki's legs onto her shoulders, giving her complete access to her waiting center.

"Oh Nikki, you look so ready for me, and I've barely touched you yet. You really are my perfect woman, and its time we both felt as good as you look." Stephanie wasn't going to be able to say another word as she gave a long slow lick along Nikki's pussy, resulting in a huge moan coming from behind the duct tape gag. Stephanie looked up and smiled, Nikki had thrown her head back from the sensation, she felt glad she used the gag, or Nikki's moan would have been heard five blocks away.

Stephanie gave her vagina several more long licks, feeling the reaction to every single one immediately, across her whole body. Stephanie held both of Nikki's thighs with her hands as she did, trying to hold her love in place as her entire body was convulsing with pleasure. She changed up her tactic and went to work on her soul mate's clit, her favourite thing to do as she placed gentle kisses upon and lapped at the tiny organ for minutes without any intention of stopping.

"Terrrr grrrr cmmmm. Grrrr cmmmm!" was all that came from Nikki's mouth after she was fucked into complete silence for several minutes by Stephanie's

+oral skills. It was nothing close to decipherable English, but Stephanie knew what she was trying to tell her. She had Nikki tied up and gagged for sex more often than not, so she could read her body like a book. She was on the edge of ecstasy. Stephanie paused for a second, then clamped her mouth around Nikki's sweet spot, licking and sucking until she got the result she wanted.

Nikki let out what sounded like a much higher pitched scream as she came as hard as she ever had, although as hard as she usually did. She felt lucky that she had fallen in love with someone who could pleasure her in ways that nobody before had even come close to. Ways that had helped her come to terms with her new life and admit to being truly in love with the woman currently deep between her thighs, giving her another intense orgasm. She tried to pull against her taped wrists, getting no freedom. The bondage was always at its worst when the orgasm was at its best as she felt desperate to take Stephanie in her arms and kiss her like she hadn't seen her in days, sexual energy surging through her body as Stephanie's face was coated in her juices.

Stephanie swallowed as much of her favourite liquid as she could. She crawled up the bed and lay next to Nikki, the two of them staring into each other's eyes.

"Mmmmm." Nikki said, looking down at her tape gag, trying to get the message though. She was in need of a kiss, in need of saying thank you. But she needed use of her arms and lips back, and the tape wasn't going to allow that.

"You want untying? My dear heart, you said that you wanted me to make sure you couldn't leave me, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. You are staying right here till tomorrow, when I need you to help me put Seth in his place, but that's the last time I'm bringing down the conversation by mentioning him. For the rest of today, you are all mine, and I will remind you how much I love you and why you will never want to leave me, plus how I wouldn't let you if you tried. I'm going to cook you a great meal, with the best wine, and I'm going to fuck you so hard, and so often, you'll hurt your throat from all the screaming that nobody is going to hear. You my dear, are mine, all mine forever. Got it?" Nikki nodded furiously, not complaining about anything that was going to be done to her over the rest of the day. Stephanie was an outstanding chef, but there was one thing that she did better than cook. And Nikki got to experience that several times until she all but passed out from the last orgasm of the day. Stephanie admired what she saw as her masterpiece as she slept but her exhaustion from her work took its toll and they both slept soundly.

The next morning, after showering together, they left for work, but today it was all different, they used to drop Nikki off a safe distance away, then arrive separately to avoid suspicion, but that wasn't necessary anymore. They parked in the company structure, and entered the building together, holding hands, they didn't even let go as they got on the elevator.

Stephanie heard Nikki let out a deep breath as they got to their floor. "You ok?" she asked, knownig the issue.

"Yeah, I just hope thids isn't the end of our tesam. If Seth cvant accept us as we are, we cant sll work together anymore, and we have all gotten really close."

"Whatever happens happens babe, I will just have to keep my temper, I wish I hadn't gotten so upset, I just regret not just punching him in the fasce Saturday night." Stephanie's tone had dropped so Nikki squeezed her hand to remind her she was there.

"Its all right sweetheart, you don't need to do that, unless he keeps being insulting like before. In which case, you just have to get to him before me. We are stronger than he is, both in how much we love each ither, and in a fight. We….oh." Nikki and Stepoh we so focused on each other that they hadn't realised that two things were different at their desk. One was that Paige was sat in Seth's chair. The other, which should have been harder to miss, were two huge bouquets of flowers sat on each of the ladies desks.

"Wow, they are beautiful. But I don't see a card on mine, how about you honey? Nikki asked. Stephanie shook her head.

Both of them turned to look at Paige, looking for a link between her presence and the flowers. "They are from Seth." She said. "He feels terrible about what he said and wants to make sure you will hear him out before he comes over. If you don't, he's going to go ask for a transfer and you wont have to talk to him at all."

"Like hell he is." AJ interrupted. Come on girls, I know he was an asshole, but I am not going to let this team break up. Let him apologise."

Stephanie looked to Nikki and they nodded at each other. "OK, but if he makes one comment, I'll break his nose. I don't care if they fire me." Stephanie said. Paige nodded and sent a text. Seth arrived a minute later.

"Nikki, Steph, I'm so sorry for what I said. I was caught off guard and I reacted so badly. I freaked out, not because you are gay, but because I care about this team, we are the best creative team in this company now and we are making great money, if you guys split, it could all be ruined, then I went and nearly did that myself. Please take the flowers as an apology and I promise that I'll never say anything like that again. Judt, you know, promise me you wont break up."

"We promise." Nikki and Steph said at exactly the same time, with laughter breaking out among them all at that fact. The laughter went a long way to mending the team, and nobody wanted to continue the delicate conversation.

AJ was the first to speak up. "Right, we need to put this all behind us. Char and I are having a couples costume party next month and we want all four of you to come, and nobody is allowed to get mad, ok?"

"OK." Nikki said as she sat down at her desk.

"Whoa there, you guys are 'out' now right." Paige asked.

"Yeah?" Steph answered with a hint of aggression, unsure about the black haired woman's approach.

"So, like I told Nikki, we have to do some HR stuff for your relationship, protect you and the company, lets go to my desk." Paige said, with the other ladies following.

"What do you mean protect?" Nikki ask.

"Well it means you cant be disciplined for having a relationship, can rewqest vacation time together, that sort of thig, and you promise to remain professional at work, not sneak off and screw in the bathroom or anything. That's all." Paige responded.

Steph and Nikki looked seductively at each other, glad they hadn't signed anything like that already, or they'd be in a bit of trouble.
