Thank you guys for the reviews!


Mayah waved to the guys and got on the elevator, she had went out with them and had a beer, she was tired and trying to come up with a plan to get Mark back in her bed, or at least notice her.

She sighed, getting rid of Jena was the easy part, getting Mark was a bit harder. She got out of the elevator and walked down the hall pulling her key card from her pocket.

She opened the door and looked up to see a very angry Mark sitting on her bed, she had a bad feeling she was busted. "Well you're finally back." He said standing up, his voice sent shivers down her spine , and not good ones.

Mayah started to back out the door, but Mark was pretty quick for a big man, her grabbed her arm dragging her in and slamming the door. "Oh no you don't."

"Look, just calm down..."

Mark lifted her off the floor face to face with him. "Calm down, I don't think so brat, here I was thinking you were just some nice little innocent girl, and you're like every other woman out there, controlling and manipulating and I don't take well to that at all."

Mayah swallowed hard, he looked really really mad.

"What nothing to say, you had plenty to say to Jena, pregnant, and lets see, I been beating you." He snapped.

Mark set her to her feet abruptly and sat down on the end of the bed, he snagged her arm and pulled her across his lap. "I hate to make a liar out of you." He said bringing his big hand down hard on her ass.

"Owwwwwwww." She yelped.

Mark proceeded to tear her ass up, the whole while she was kicking and trying get away, which was useless. "Don't ever pull that shit with me ya little brat." He said bringing his hand down on her butt repeatably.

Mayah started crying and Mark finally stopped and yanked her back up, so he could look at her. He vowed he wouldn't be moved by her tears. "I should take every light in this room out and jut leave ya here." He snapped still angry.

She was already crying, but when he said that she started bawling and the look on her face, made him regret the words. Mark took off the glasses that were about to slide off her face and laid them aside.

"Aww shit." He cursed. "Mayah I wouldn't do that, I'm just mad."

Mayah leaned over and laid her head on his chest and Mark sighed and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm sorry." She said crying.

Mark just rolled his eyes, how did he end up in situations like this, he rubbed her back till she calmed down.

"Okay, now sit up here and look at me." he said pushing her back a bit, Mayah wouldn't meet his eyes and he slipped his hand beneath her chin tilting her head up. Mark sighed, she did look truly sorry or maybe she was just sorry she got caught and sorry she got her ass whipped, you could never tell. "Why did you do that?"

Mayah sniffed miserably. "Cause I was jealous." She said truthfully.

"Good grief, girl, we been over this a hundred times, I'm not a one woman man, never have been , never will be, you cant just lie and play these little games cause you're jealous." he said.

Mark groaned inwardly when she just gave him a sad look and laid her head back on his shoulder, what the fuck was he going to do with her, he could ask Vince to put her to work for someone else, but he didn't like the thought of that, she did a good job, short of that, he wasn't sure how to get through to her.

Mark got up and sat her on the edge of the bed and went and got a wet washcloth bending down to wipe off her read face. "Look at ya, all upset and for what cause your jealous." He scolded her.

Mayah looked embarrassed, she felt so pathetic having to use such a ploy to try and get Mark, but she didn't really have a choice. "I really am sorry." She said softly.

Mark laid the washcloth aside looking at her. This was a lot of his fault, he should have never encouraged her by sleeping with her.

Mark couldn't stand her looking so sad, his anger was long gone, he didn't stop to wonder why he had such tender feelings for the girl, he sat down and pulled her in his lap and she quickly turned to face him wrapping her arms around his neck, hugging him, she couldn't get enough of his touch, she loved the way his big hands felt rubbing her back, she felt safe with him. Mark looked down at her and felt the pull to kiss her, he tried to fight it but her sweet lips were too inviting, her pressed his lips to hers and held her head as he plundered her mouth completely.

Mayah sighed and pressed herself closer to him, thrilled when she felt his erection pressing against her pulsing heat ,she moved herself over him causing him to gasp, he moved his hands to her hips pressing his growing bulge against her softness even as he kissed her.

Mark nipped her lips and grinned as soft little moans escaped her lips. He told himself just once more, he had to have her. Mark ran his hands under the hem of her shirt and pulled the shirt up over her head, he made quick work of her bra and tossed it, and bent to suck one rosy nipple into his mouth. Mayah groaned and arched toward him, crying out. She felt the pull of his mouth and it sent a sharp spasm of desire all along her body.

Mark growled deep in his throat, he needed her, now. He stood and sat her on the edge of the bed, and he became even more turned on as she watched with rapt attention, wide eyed as he stripped.

When he pulled his jeans off and he stood before her naked, Mayah reached out with her hand grasping his shaft in her hands, reveling in the feel of it. Mark groaned and closed his eyes. "Does it hurt?" She asked as her small hand stroked him. Mark opened his eyes. "It aches to be inside you." He said his voice rough with need and desire. Mark took her hand from him, and he dropped to his knees , his hands reaching for the waistband of her sweats, he pulled them down and tossed them and did the same with her panties. Mark pushed her on her back, and spread her legs, his eyes filling with lust at the site of her spread before him.

"What are you doing?" She asked lifting her head, her cheeks glowing red, Mark smiled, he forgot how inexperienced she was. "I'm gonna taste ya, relax."

Mayah looked dubious, but she did as he said, Mark bent and kissed the inside of her thigh causing her to jump. "Relax." He said and kissed path up the inside of her thigh, by the time he had worked his way between her legs, she was squirming with need, he touched his tongue to her sweet aching need, and she arched her hips to meet his tongue, Mark took his time running his tongue over her in long strokes building the heat in her, he heard her cry out as she came and he lapped at her till she stilled.

Mark got up lifted her and laid her farther back on the bed. He pulled a condom from his pants pocket and Mayah watched with rapt attention as he rolled it over his shaft."Okay, spread those legs for me." He said

Mark smiled as he watched her, she was still breathing heavy and he could see her pulse was racing at the base of her throat. He settled between her legs and nudged at her wetness with her shaft, he felt her hands sliding up over his back and he smiled down at her and bent to kiss her, Mayah melted into the kiss, and even as his tongue surged forward to tangle with hers, he sank into her passage slowly inch by inch making her groan.

Mark pulled out again slowly, and plunged back in, she felt so damn tight and her hands were running over his chest and arms sending tingles everywhere. He lifted his head to watch her as he pulled out and sank in again and again into her wet passage, she was so damn hot, she moaned and whimpered, calling his name as he invaded her body again and again. Her legs came up to wrap around his waist and he nearly lost it then and there, he had to stop and close his eyes.

Mark felt her hand on his cheek and he opened his eyes. "You feel so good."

Mark bent and kissed her gently. "You feel good too baby."

The words caused tears to come to her eyes, she realized she loved him, the gentle words overloaded her emotionally.

Mark continued his slow assault of her body with long hard thrusts that invaded her time and time again, till she was begging him for release. "Markkkk." She moaned at the edge.

Mark bent close to her ear. "Come for me baby." He whispered.

Mayah gripped his arms and her legs tightened around his waist, Mark covered her mouth with his, and swallowed her cries as she came. Mayah felt as if the world had exploded in colors around her, her hips rose to meet his now frenzied thrusts, and he cried her name, as he too fell over the edge. Mark moved in her as continued to kiss her lips, he couldn't get enough of her, he finally collapsed and used his elbows to keep his weight off her, Mark placed light kisses on her lips and then her nose causing her to giggle.

Mayah smiled as Mark rolled to his side and hauled her in his arms. "Get some sleep." he ordered and Mayah yawned and closed her eyes. "Night Mark."

He smiled, he loved the way she said his name. "Goodnight Mayah."


Mayah woke early the next morning and turned over to find Mark gone and she sighed flopped back in the bed, no strings sex, she told him she could handle it, so she would have to learn to do just that. She flopped on her belly and closed her eyes thinking about last night and she smiled, he was so wonderful and she loved him, just thinking the words sent a rush of warmth through her, but she could never tell him, ever.

She heard the door open and looked up and smiled when she seen it was Mark. "I grabbed us some coffee and some donuts."

Mayah sat up in the bed and Mark caught his breath as the covers slipped off her revealing her breasts. He handed her a coffee and sat down on the other side of the bed, they shared the donuts and when they were done Mark pulled her next to him wrapping one big arm around her. "We need to talk." Mayah didn't think that sounded too good."Okay."

"Mayah I was serious when I said I don't do relationships, I don't have any interest in marriage, I do like you and I like being with you, but there can never be anything beyond that and I need to know that you understand that."

She looked up at Mark and he knew he should never had gave in to his desires, but he just couldnt help himself. "I understand."

"I mean it Mayah, no more playing tricks or chasing off other women, I do what I want, I wont be manipulated." He said sternly.

Mayah nodded. "I promise, I'll never do anything like that again."

"One more thing, whats goes on between us, stays between us, I don't want the whole roster knowing my personal business, so at work, I'm your boss, thats it, got it?"

She nodded, but her heart ached, he was ashamed of being with her, it hurt, but not enough to make her walk away from him, she loved him, she would take what he would give.

Mark bent and kissed her. "I have to go, I have a flight home, I'll see you in Miami."

Mayah nodded and watched him get dressed. He looked at her laying there and wanted to gather her in his arms, but he didn't have time, he had to get going, he settled for bending down and placing a kiss on her forehead. "See ya."

"Bye." She said and watched him leave. Mayah rolled over on her back, she was happy in one way yet sad in another, she loved him and wanted so much more with him, but she had to face facts, that was not going to happen, she had to settle for having him till he got tired of her.


Mayah got into Miami late that evening and checked into the hotel. She turned on all the lights in the room and settled down on the bed and called room service for some dinner. She flopped back on the bed and watched TV till her dinner got there.

Mayah ate and decided to go for a walk on the beach even though it was so late. She put on some shorts and a tank top and flip flops, since it was hot out.

She left the hotel and headed down for the long stretch of beach right behind it. The breeze coming off the ocean was wonderful and she kicked off her flip flops and walked along in the rising tide. Mayah sung under her breath as she smiled thinking about Mark, she couldn't wait till he got down here Sunday.

Mayah screamed as someone grabbed her arm, she turned and stopped short. "Joshua, what do you want?"

"I want you to come home, I know you're alone here, I could make you come home." He threatened.

"I'm not coming home, and I remembered why I'm scared of the dark, how could you let Bev lock a little kid in the closet for two days?" She asked angry.

"So you remembered that, look I didn't approve of that, but Bev does what she wants and theres hell to pay if you cross her, I mean look at Chase, she had enough influence with your father to make sure he got a raw deal in Issac's will." he said.

Mayah shook her head. She still didn't understand that, daddy must have loved Chase, he was his son. Chase was ten years older than her, he was the product of a affair that had happen before daddy Married Bev. Growing up she didn't see him that much, but when they read daddy's will he only got a couple of million, which was chump change considering how much he had left Mayah in trust.

"You could have done something and then to be sleeping with her while daddy was still alive, you two disgust me, just stay away from me." She snapped and walked off.

"You'll come back Mayah, eventually when you realize you cant make it on your own." He shouted after her.

Mayah just kept walking, she was so sick of him, she wished he would just leave her alone.

Joshua stood there watching her walk off, they needed her, Bev had ran through her portion of Issac's money years ago, now without her they were having to live on what he made as a lawyer which was not enough to keep Bev in the style she had become accustomed to, he had to do something.

Joshua never knew what hit him , arms came around his neck and jerked and his neck was snapped in a instant, he slid to the ground dead, the killer stood there looking at the man, and lifted a hand in the air and dropped a handful of coins on the body and walked off.


Mayah was up early the next morning and decided to go for a walk on the beach, she walked along the edge of the water, kicking at it with her feet.

Her phone rang and she pulled it out of the clip and flipped it open. "Hello."

"Hey, what ya doing?"

Mayah grinned she was thrilled that Mark called her. "Walking on the beach."

"You sound good, having a good time?"

"Yeah mostly." She said thinking of Joshua.

"Hmm could be having better time though?" He asked.

"Well yeah, I guess." Mayah said.

"Turn around." Mark said.

Mayah did as he asked wondering what he was up to and she yelled in happiness.

He was about twenty yards down the beach and she ran every step of the way and flung herself in his arms. Mark caught her laughing. "I figured we could spend a couple of days together before we have to get back to work."

Mayah kissed him and wrapped her legs around his waist. "I'm so glad to see you."

Mark ran his fingers through her sun warmed hair and he pulled her face close to his to kiss her. "Let go grab some breakfast." He said straightening her glasses out when he pulled back.

"Okay, sounds good." She said.

She went to get down , but Mark held on to her and kissed her again, the finally lowered her to her feet. "C'mon."

Mayah took his offered hand, she was so happy she felt like bursting, she couldn't believe he came early just to spend time with her, maybe Mark did like her after all.
