Thank you for the reviews!

Josie looked up and smiled at her friend when she poked her head in the office. "Hey Jo, what time is your next party today?"

Josie looked at her watch. "Five this evening, how about you Jenn." She said looking up at the stacked red head.

"I have one in a hour and then were done for the day." Jenn said. "So I have a few minutes to ask you about this Mark guy, Sammy told me about, I go out of town for a week and come back to find you giving private lessons to some guy, what gives?" The red head asked sitting down.

Josie sighed. "I'm just helping him out and he's helping me, he giving me guy lessons, you know on football and stuff that guys like, that way I can at least know what guys are talking about if I ever go on another date."

Jenn shook her head. Josie was a great girl, she just needed to wash off her mothers influence and things would work out for her. "So you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart, taking on a male client, I mean what does he look like." She asked even though Sammy had already told her he was a hunk, she wanted to see what Josie said.

"Oh he's okay, average looking." Josie said.

Jenn nodded, yeah right. "Just average?" She prodded.

Josie nodded, she loved Jenn to death, but she was a wild one when it came to men, she was afraid if Jenn ever saw Mark, she would go for him and then he would never look at Josie again, not that he was interested in her anyway, but he was her client, she wanted him to herself, even if it was only business.

"Hey Beautiful."

Josie looked up to see Mark in her office door and Jenn swiveled around and stopped short.

"Umm its not Saturday." Josie said, she groaned inwardly, she sounded like a dork, of course he knew it wasn't Saturday.

Jenn stood. "Jo, introduce me to this fine looking man. Mark grinned at the red head, she was hot as fuck, short with long red hair, fine legs and a big nice ass packed firmly in a skirt and her ample breasts were straining against the blue blouse she was wearing.

Josie sighed, well there it was, he would never notice her again. "Mark this is my business partner Jenn Alston , Jenn this is Mark Calaway.

Jenn sidled up to Mark offering her hand. "My you're a big boy aren't you?"

Mark grinned, she was hot as hell. "Yes Ma'am, I ain't had no complaints."

Josie had never been jealous of a man a day in her life, even when Philip cheated on her, she didn't really give a damn, it hurt her pride a bit, but jealousy no, she thought jealousy was a stupid wasted emotion, that men used to control women, Jenn was one of her best friends, she flirted with everyone, but Josie had the urge to go kick her.

Josie stood. "Well I'll let you two get to know each other." She said and grabbed her briefcase."

Jenn let go of Mark's hand and turned to look at Josie, the girl was jealous, she heard it in her voice and looked mad as hell, well I be damned she thought, Josie liked him, she had known Josie since their collage days and had never seen her jealous, interesting.

"Jo, he came to see you, I assume, not me, besides I have that party, I have to get going." She turned to look at Mark. "Nice to meet you." She said.

Mark nodded. "You too." Mark being oblivious to what had just happened smiled at Josie. "I was wondering if you had time for lunch, I had some business in the area and thought I would stop by. Josie looked at him, he had on dark slacks and white button up shirt, his hair was combed and pulled back in a ponytail and he smelled delicious.

She should tell him to go jump off a roof, after the way he had flirted with Jenn, but she couldn't, he wanted to take her to lunch and there was no way she was saying no. "That would be nice."

Mark smiled. "Great, you ready now, or do you need a few minutes?"

"No I'm ready." She bent over her desk to retrieve some files and Mark watched her skirt ride up and had the desire to go grab her ass, man she was killing him.

She stood and smiled. "I'm ready." She said as she slipped the files in her briefcase. Mark grabbed her hand as she walked by and Josie jumped, it shocked her and then the feel of his hand just made her melt, what the hell was wrong with her, she was too young to be going through a midlife crisis. However she didn't remove her hand, she was confused by her feelings, but she didn't feel like exploring them at the moment.

Mark took her to a nice upscale restaurant, they both ordered grilled chicken and salads and sat sipping on iced tea and munching on fresh rolls, till their food got there. "I was wondering if we could go a little longer on my lessons on Saturday, I meeting Michelle in two weeks and I want to be ready for her, and I was thinking about asking her to marry me." Mark said.

Suddenly the piece of roll felt stuck in her throat, she took a large swallow of tea down set it down and looked at Mark. "Maybe you should wait, you know wow her a little bit first, before you just out of the blue pop the question."

Mark pondered what she said. "You know maybe you're right, I mean I should show her how much I've changed in the bedroom first, then give her a few weeks, then pop the question, thanks Josie, its great having a woman's prospective before I just jump into things."

Josie felt about a inch high, she wasn't trying to help him, she just didn't want him getting married, she was such a loser crushing over someone else's man.

Josie smiled. "No problem, thats what friends are for right?"

Mark patted her hand, she was a sweet girl, he really liked her. "I would like for us to be friends in fact I think we already are."

Josie was glad when the food showed up, it distracted her from looking at him. She should just tell him she couldn't give him lessons no more, but she really didn't want to do that either, she liked him, was intrigued by him. "So you been doing your homework?"

Josie grinned as she cut into her chicken. "Yeah I watched all The DVD's you left, I think I'm really following whats going on, what are we doing this weekend?"

Mark set his fork down. "I figure I would explain wrestling to you, and show you a few DVD's and then we're going to the park for a game of basketball, what do you think?"

"Sounds good, but I wont stand a chance against you." She said.

Mark shrugged. "No you wont, but it'll be fun."

"So if we're expanding our lesson, what are we going to talk about besides kissing?" He asked pinning her with his gaze.

Josie swallowed hard. "Umm I have some DVD's you can watch that are more explicit, they show different techniques and how to prolong your partners pleasure and how to get a woman to have multiple organisms."

Mark grinned at her red face, she was really a enigma, she taught this stuff for a living, but here she was acting like a blushing virgin, he guess it was because she wasn't used to talking about this kind of stuff with men.

"I also have some sample products I will bring you, body lotions, heating flavor oils, all this things will work great in the bedroom to improve your love making." She said taking a drink of the cold beverage to cool her down.

Mark leaned forward. "Sounds intriguing, have you tried all these products?"

Josie kept her eyes on her food. "I don't ever recommend anything I haven't tried."

"But I thought you said you haven't dated in a while, or had a boyfriend." Mark said watching her.

"Well I haven't, but I don't need a man for that, you know, thats the whole point of my business , a man is not necessary to have a orgasm."

Mark felt his dick go into overdrive, the thought of Josie spread naked on the bed pleasuring herself made his pants uncomfortably tight in the front. "Hmmm." Was all he said and went back to eating.

He had to keep his focus on Michelle or Josie was going to derail him, sure a fling with her would be nice, but he didn't have a desire to use her, he really liked her, friends, they would keep it at friendship level.

Mark dropped her off in front of her office, he got out of his truck and walked around to her side, opening the door and helping her out, she stood in front of him and looked up at him. "Thank you for lunch, I had a nice time."

Mark smiled. "Me too, I'll see you Saturday."

Josie nodded and started to walk away but Mark caught her arm and pulled her back, Josie's heat skipped a beat, this was exactly the kind of man her mother would hate, dominate, forceful, all the things she should hate, but he excited her on a level she had never felt. He planted a kiss on her forehead. "Thanks for having lunch with me."

Josie knew he was just being nice, it was just a kiss between friends, so why did she want to climb up his big body and give him a real kiss. "You're welcome." He had his arms wrapped lightly around her and she could barely breath, her heart skipped and raced, did he feel it to, she wondered. "Ya know, I know a lot of nice guys, I could set ya up with a few, when their in town, if ya want, you need to be dating, you're too pretty and sweet to be sitting around by yourself."

Josie felt like dying on the spot, he wasn't attracted to her, she was projecting her own lust onto him, he was in love with someone else, she felt like a idiot. "Sure why not." She heard herself saying.

Mark looked surprised she agreed so readily. "Well Okay, I have a friend coming in for a visit next Wednesday, his name is John, he's close to your age, he's a nice guy."

"Okay, just have him give me a call." She said just wanting to escape.

Mark nodded and let her go. "Okay, see you." He said and headed back for his truck. He had just knew she would say no, he didn't quite like the thought of John asking her out, what the hell had he been thinking.

Mark just shook his head, this was a good thing, maybe if her and John hit it off, he would stop having these sexual fantasies about her.

Josie watched him get and his truck and leave, well he certainly didn't think of her anymore than a friend, or he wouldn't be trying to set her up. That was that, now she just had to bury her intense feelings for him and maybe she would actually meet a guy that liked her.

Josie looked at the phone on her bedside table , she rolled over and picked it up. "Hello."

"Well you're alive, I didn't know what to think, I haven't heard from you in over a month."

"Hey Margery, just been busy with the business, thats all." Josie said.

"Yes, I was busy giving birth to you for twenty-fours hours, no drugs either, you could make time to call me or at least leave a message for me." Her mother said sounding put out.

"Sorry." She said knowing excuses wouldn't matter. "Have you talked to Ana, she is dating a baseball payer, can you believe that, I don't know what she is thinking, I worry about her." Margery said.

"Margery, she's fine, she is in love, just let her be." Josie said.

"She is dating a Neanderthal, I wont have it, anyway, what about you, are you dating?

"Uhh no." Josie said hoping she would find something else to talk about.

"Josephine, you need a life outside work, you're going to get all pent up, if you know what I mean, sex is a normal releas..."

Josie cut her off, she was not having this conversation with Margery. "Margery, I have a call on another line, I'll talk to you soon, love you, bye." She said and clicked the phone closed, no way was she having the sex discussion with her mother, again.

Josie laid back and closed her eyes, why did her mother have to be so over bearing, why couldn't Ana and her just live their lives.

She grabbed the phone again and dialed the number. She sighed when voice mail picked up. "Hey daddy, I miss you..uhh I just wanted to talk to you see how you're doing, I haven't heard from you in a while. Give me a call when you can, love you."

She threw her phone on the table, she missed her dad so bad sometimes, he hadn't ever been around that much, she longed for a closer relationship with her dad, he was very loving when he was around, the problem was his work was always more important than her and Ana, same with her mother, she didn't pay them much mind when they were kids, now though she expected them to call all the time.

Josie reached over and turned out the light and lay in the darkness trying to go to sleep, she tossed and turned for more than a hoursand then finally opened the drawer and pulled out the silver bullet. "I think maybe I should name you Mark." she said with no humor in her voice.

Mark got out of the shower embarrassed at himself he wasn't one to jack off, hell he didn't have to, but he didn't know what came over him, he was tossing and turning and his thoughts turned to Josie and before he knew he was having a downright nasty little fantasy about fucking her, what the hell was wrong with him, he should be thinking about Michelle not Josie.

Josie walked around in a fog the next day, she kept hoping Mark would call and want to get together again, but why would he, he wasn't interested, he was trying to set her up with his buddy. "Hey Jo."

Josie looked up and smiled at Jenn. "Hey, you been busy, I haven't seen you all day."

Jenn walked on and sat down, crossing her legs. "You mad at me?"

Josie frowned. "No, why would I be?"

"Cause yesterday, you looked like you wanted to kick my head in when I was flirting with that sexy man of yours."

Josie sighed. "He's not my man, he's a client, theres nothing between us, maybe friendship, he's in love with another woman."

Jenn smiled. "Denial is a ugly thing, you're crazy about him, I've known you for years, never seen you get green over any guy, whats gives, have you two done the nasty yet?"

Josie blew out a long breath."No, and we wont, he's not interested in me."

Jenn smiled. "He just don't know he's interested yet, you have to make him interested, stop playing Miss goody two shoes and get nasty with him, if you just sit around playing prim and proper, its going to get you no where."

"Jenn, he's in love with another woman, I'm not about to try to break up a relationship."

Jenn just shook her head. "Jo, just think about it, you could have that man if you wanted him, I know you too well, at least give sex a shot."

"I don't think so, look he's not interested, in fact, he set me up with one of his friends, I think I have a date or something next Wednesday ." Josie said.

Jenn stood. "I have to go, but think about what I said, chemistry is wonderful when you find it and you and Mark have it, sparks are practically flying off both of you."

Josie waved as Jenn left, yes there was certainly chemistry at least on her part, she wanted to jump the man's bones, but he didn't feel the same way, heck a woman had to have some pride, she wasn't going to throw herself at his feet, when he wasn't even attracted to her, no she would just ignore these feelings, maybe she would like his friend. She just hoped she did, then maybe she would stop fantasizing about Mark.
