Hi there guys! Yes I know. Shame on me. I'm so sorry for taking so long to update. It's all uni's fault.

Thank you so much for your comments and support. And I would just like to ask for your patience. I will not forget about this story or you guys. I may not update that often but I already have an idea to where this is heading and I will write until I reach that point.

kira23kira: You are welcome and thank you once more. Your effort to write on a bumpy road. Aww, you're a doll. Thank you very much.

So let's go and update now...LOL. Hope you guys like it ;) Just a little reminder. This chap is the immediate continuation of where chap 6 ended so I transcriped a little part of 6 just to get in the spirit of the thing :D

Sorry once again.

"It's OK, Lexie. It's OK. Forgive me." he reached for her shoulders now. The more Lexie fought back the more he tightened his grip.

Lexie felt more tears in the corner of her eyes. She stopped fighting and Mark wrapped his arms around her upper body. She had her hands resting behind his waist.

Lexie pulled away lightly so she could look into his eyes.

"I feel nothing for him, Mark. Not anymore, I promise"

Mark dried her tears with his thumb "Shh. I know Lex, I know. You don't have to explain anything."

He moved his hands to her temple. "Shh, I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry."

She rested her head against his chest.

"Mark I, uh, I..."

"Me too, Lexie, me too"

They felt their pulsation increase as they remained holding each other. They could clearly hear the audible breaths of the other. Lexie looked up at him. Both eyes hungry with desire. She got to the tip of her toes and their mouths crashed. They felt like they hadn't done that in a long time as they savoured each other minuciously. Mark lifted Lexie and carried her to the bedroom. When they got there they broke from each other's lips gasping desperately for air. That sound just made them want each other even more.

Mark sat at the couch that was placed in the corner of the room with Lexie on his lap. His head rested on the couch's back as Lexie kissed his neck. Mark's hand made its way up to the back of her head to lead her lips into his. Their tongues explored each other's mouths hungrily. When they broke apart Lexie pulled Mark's shirt up his head. The sight of his bare chest gave her chills. She ran her hands through his abs and up to his biceps. Mark removed her blouse and bra and kissed the skin between her breasts. Lexie's head went all the way back as that feeling consumed her. Mark wrapped his arms around her chest and so did she. They embraced each other against themselves and damn did that feel good.

Lexie unbuttoned and unzipped Mark's jeans real slowly making him moan against her jaw. Once his pants were off Lexie rocked her body against his underwear. Despite all the fabric separating them they could both feel the desire in the other. Mark pulled her hair to the back of her ears and kissed every inch of her face. His hands moved down to her waist and he pulled her pants down. Their hearts were throbbing against their chests. Lexie pulled his boxers down and massaged him. Mark gasped. He was ready. He started pulling Lexie's panties down but stopped half way. He caressed her waist moving down slowly to her cheeks and pulled the underwear a little bit further but not completely. She could feel him against her.

"Please, don't torture me" she breathed.

"I'm not baby, just trying to give you a little pleasure"

"You don't have to try"

Lexie took over and removed her own underwear all the way down. She then arranged their bodies so Mark could fill her. They both held their breaths for a few seconds. She rocked her body against his and made him smile in amazement. Although he wasn't doing that if he had remained still he would continue feeling that mind-blowing pleasure. He kept his hands on her waist the whole time either pulling her closer to him or simply holding into her there.

"Am I...?" Lexie started asking. But Mark knew better.

"You bet you are"

Lexie smiled and pressed her lips against his. She began to move quicker. They both gasped as they broke their kiss but it wasn't only for the air their lungs needed. When he heard she moan his name and saw her head falling back that feeling took over him. It ran through his whole body making him tremble. He was unable to think for that part of time. Lexie followed immediatelly. Her body collapsed and fell onto Mark's. All her movements stopped as she rested her head in his left shoulder. He removed her hair from her face. They were both panting. Lexie had never experienced this before. She buried her fingers on Mark's back at what she was feeling. Mark moved slightly which caused her to plead.

"No, please don't move, not now" she held into them, her voice almost trailling off as she felt that incredible sensation rush across her body again and again and one other time.

It had become silent as they had nearly fallen asleep in that position. Mark had his arms involving Lexie as she rested against his neck. They both had their eyes shut. Lexie made the first movement by kissing his neck. Mark opened his eyes and breathed in. He slowly moved his hip back so he would get off her. He touched her temple and their eyes met. Their faces got closer together, eyes still opened, as Lexie gently trapped Mark's lower lip between her teeth. Mark then closed his mouth around hers and they tasted each other as if it was the first time ever they were doing that.

"Why, Dr. Grey" Mark suddenly spoke "you're gonna have to take over more frequently"

Lexie felt her cheeks getting warm and flushing.

"Really?" she didn't want to sound insecure but she couldn't help it. "I wasn't sure..." she confessed. "I mean honestly did you? You know..."

Mark smiled. "Little Grey, let's just say this is what I'm thinking after what just happened: we should fight more often"

"Bite your tongue" Lexie punched him kiddingly. Mark spoke as he saw the look in Lexie's face.

"Lexie..." he stared into her eyes. "It was incredible. The best we've ever had if that's even possible. For it to get any better, I mean. You are really something" he rubbed his nose into hers and kissed her upper lip. Lexie smiled against his mouth. "Now" he said slowly "it's your turn"

"What are you talking about?" she was confused.

"I mean it's your turn. Let's go and try to make you feel the things you just made me feel."

Lexie was astonished. "Believe me, I felt it. A lot to be honest" she smirked.

"Not like this you didn't" Mark got up from the couch holding Lexie all times and led them to the bed.

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to cooperate here" Lexie muffled a sound. Eyes shut.

"You won't have to"

Lexie grabbed his head and held it tight against her chest as he kissed her breasts.

She was tired and as far as she could tell she wouldn't be able to do anything but when Mark reached her lower stomach as he was going down her eyes opened.

"Mark?" she said low.

"Shh, go to rest baby. I've got it"

"Mark?" Lexie repeated with a little more attitude.

"Hmm?" he looked up at her.

"Come here" she requested.

He remained still with a somewhat confused expression. She gestured with both hands for him to move closer to her.

"Cover me with you" she said softly.

Mark half-smiled and did as she said. He arranged their bodies until they were both comforting each other and began by kissing her deeply and passionately.

When the sun hit her face Lexie tried turning to the other side to get rid of it but it was too late. Once she was aware it was really difficult to sleep again. She sighed and slowly opened her eyes to see Mark watching her.

She pulled the pillow to cover her face. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Nothing" Mark laughed as he pulled the pillow away from her.

Lexie raised her right eyebrow. "Good morning" now she smiled.

"Hello, good morning" he whispered. "I was wondering if you wanted to take a shower"

Lexie now raised both eyebrows and laughed. "Only if you behave"

"What are you talking about?" Mark played. "I always behave"

"Right" Lexie said against Mark's arriving lips.

"I promise" he said kissing her jaw.

"Mmm" Lexie closed her eyes. "OK" she jumped out of bed.

Mark watched her as she walked to the bathroom. "You coming?" she asked stopping at the door.

Mark took a while to come back. "Yes" he said as he got up from bed himself.

*

"You smell so good" Mark said as he sniffled the back of Lexie's ear. "Mmm"

Lexie turned to face him. "You said you would behave" she pressed his earlobe between her fingers. "How can I go to work with you talking about my scent and you smelling like this yourself?"

"At least we get to go together today" he said "what time do you get off?"

"Around 11pm. Don't forget Yang is my resident"

"Right" Mark rolled his eyes. "Well, I'll have a break from 9 to 10:30pm if I'm not mistaken. But I have a surgery at 1am so I'll have to start prepping everything 2 hours in advance. I'll try to get out to see you though"

"OK" Lexie sighed. "There's always lunch if you can't do that" she pointed out.

Mark hated to have only lunchtime to see Lexie. They didn't have time to do anything. They had to practically swallow their food and they hardly had the opportunity to just sit and talk. That when their lunchtime was the same. They missed each other because of minutes quite oftenly.

"I know, I know. But it's better than nothing" Lexie completed.

"Yeah, that it is" Mark paused. "We should get going unless you want Yang to yell at you again and threat to kick you off the program." He touched her back leading her to the door.

Seattle Grace Hospital

"Hi there" Lexie said to Meredith as she ran into her.

"Lexie! Hello" Meredith replied.

"Everything OK?" Lexie asked noticing Mer's expression.

"Well hm, it's fine" Meredith babbled. "Actually...there is one thing erm, are you seeing Sloan?" she asked.

"Oh, Derek told you then" Lexie smiled.

"Why?" Meredith asked.

"Why what?" Lexie was confused.

"Why are you seeing Sloan?"

"What?" Lexie was surprised.

"I mean" Mer tried to explain herself "Do you want to?"

"Do I want to what?"

"To be seeing Sloan" Meredith emphasized.

Lexie raised her eyebrows "Of course I want to. Do you think I'd be doind this if I didn't?"

"No, Lexie, I didn't mean it like that" Meredith said urgently. "It's just that..just be careful"

"Why does everybody keep saying that?" Lexie was a bit annoyed.

"Someone else told you to be careful?"

"Yes" Lexie replied. Noticing Mer's question with her eyes she completed. "George"

"Oh" Meredith realized. "Well the simple fact that we know him for a longer period of time than you do. We know him, Lex. Doesn't it bother you? Or at least get to you?"

"What?" Lexie asked.

"The fact that two people who know Sloan better are asking you the same thing? Doesn't it kind of mean or say something?"

"No" Lexie said as if the answer was obvious.

"Lexie..."

"Look, please let's not continue this. And I have to disagree with you when you say I don't know him like you do cause, honestly, it's the other way around. You don't know him like I do. You have no idea who the real Mark Sloan is. The way he acts around people is nothing like the way he really is." Meredith could have sworn she saw Lexie's eyes glow. "You should give him the chance to truly know him. He will prove you wrong." she stopped.

Mer didn't know what to say and thanked God when Cristina came over.

"Three, Shepherd"

"Right away Dr. Yang"

Mer's eyes widened. "You're putting her on Derek's services?"

"So?" Cristina asked "And I'm not doing anything. Shepherd just happens to be the neurosurgeon here and I wasn't going to assign her to the heart transplant I want in"

Great. Meredith thought. That's all I needed. Now my boyfriend and my half-sister are going to talk about how perfect Mark Sloan is and are going to hate me even more for that.
