Chapter 10: Bruises

Suddenly Mark gripped the railing and tears sprang into his eyes, blurring his vision. He remembered. The memories were flooding back into his brain. Not some blurry pictures. Everything was crystal clear. It was as if a dam had been broken. He remembered her again. Lexie was almost at the end of the stairs when Mark shouted after her.

"Alexandra Grey, don't you dare walk away from me again."

"Excuse me?" Lexie stopped dead in her tracks and turned around slowly, looking surprised up to Mark.

"I thought we agreed to stop with the running away." Mark walked slowly down to her, his eyes locked with hers, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"What?" Lexie asked, now totally confused.

"Didn't we agree only two months ago that we'll try everything to make it work? That you won't run away again? And now you are giving up that easily?" Mark stood now only one step above her, his eyes still glistened with unshed tears but couldn't help that a big smile erupted on his face. He could pinpoint the exact moment Lexie finally realized what he was trying to tell her and she clapped her hands over her mouth.

"Oh my god. You remember." Mark stumbled backwards when Lexie threw herself into his arms but tightened his grip immediately around her waist to steady them both.

"Every detail, Little Grey. Especially you telling me to teach you." Lexie bent back a little to look into Mark's face. She smiled happily even though tears of joy were running down her face.

"More." Lexie begged.

"You want more memories. Okay. Let me think." Mark smirked. "You are the one who put me back together, you are the one who told me that we are beautiful, the one who convinced me that we are worth fighting for. I remember how much my hand hurt after I hit Derek."

"More." Lexie repeated smiling like crazy the tears almost ceased. Mark cradled her face into his hand brushing his thumbs over her cheeks to wipe away the last remnants of her tears before he wrapped his arms around her once again.

"Making love to you. Though I think most of the time you have to call it sex. Wild, uncontrolled and dirty sex. Oh yeah, I definitely remember that. Wall sex with you. How could I ever forget that?" Mark said mischievously.

"Get your mind out of the gutter, Mark Sloan." Lexie smacked him playfully over his chest, the big smile still on her face.

"Why? I'm McSteamy after all and don't tell me that you don't think about it too right now." Mark grinned from ear to ear.

"I'm always thinking about having sex with you. All the time. You know that damn well, Mark." Lexie stated.

"So what are we waiting for?" Mark asked, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Now? Here?" Lexie replied.

"Never stopped us before."

"On call room?" Lexie asked, her smile growing even wider.

"Let's go." Mark started to let Lexie out of his embrace but Lexie stopped him.

"Wait. Give me a second."

"For what?" Mark asked curiously.

"Trying to realize that this is not a dream." Lexie told him quietly.

"It's not." Mark pulled her into him again and kissed her passionately. "Convinced."

"Hmmm … I might need some more convincing." Lexie replied and Mark laughed out loud.

"Okay. I can do that."

They almost fell down the stairs when they hurried towards the next on call room. It always was like this between them. One moment they were fighting or unhappy and in the next moment they were all over each other. Lexie knew that it was ridiculous to drag Mark to the next on call room considering what happened just a few minutes ago in the stairway. She wanted to leave him. Wanted to get away from the overwhelming feeling of sadness. But now she wanted nothing more than feel him in her. Wanted to surround him. She needed to feel him moving inside her to realize that Mark was really back.

What was it that one moment he almost started to cry and in the next he was so aroused that he had to hold himself back to not throw Lexie against the next wall and have his way with her? This rollercoaster of emotions they were on over the last couple of minutes totally threw him. Not to mention that he still felt dizzy from the rush of memories that had suddenly filled his brain. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all to have sex the instant he got his memories back. They needed to connect. Needed to forget the real world for a few minutes.

Lexie nearly tossed him into the on call room when they finally reached one. She slammed the door shut and turned the lock. But before she could turn around Mark pinned her against the door and Lexie melted instantly into him.

"You can't imagine how much I missed the feeling of you behind me." Lexie murmured.

Lexie stretched out her arms and pushed her hips back into Mark feeling his arousal pressed hard into her.

"Only behind you?" Mark whispered.

"On me, over me, in me." Lexie groaned slightly when Mark began to rock slowly against her ass. "Pick one. Wait, scratch that. Take all."

"Might be difficult to do all at once." Mark chuckled.

"Don't care. Just do something, Mark." Lexie replied breathlessly.

"At the moment I think I'm happy with being behind you." Lexie already started to protest when Mark brushed her hair aside and began to nibble his way up from her collarbone to her ear whispering hoarsely into it when he reached it. "Are you happy with it?"

"I ..." Lexie trailed off when Mark intertwined his fingers with hers, plastering her against the door, pressing his whole body into her.

"Yes?" Mark asked while his lips traveled along her jaw bone.

"Hmmm, I ..." Lexie tried to reply.

"Do you want to tell me something, Lex?" Mark asked..

"Stop teasing, Mark." Lexie exclaimed.

"Why? You don't like it."

"That's not the point. I might go up in flames if you don't do something against it very soon." Lexie told him sternly.

"And we don't want that." Suddenly Mark pulled her around and slammed her back into the door knocking the breath out of her for a second. Staring in his blue eyes gleaming with mischievousness and burning with desire, going up in flames didn't seem to be a joke anymore. Her whole body appeared to be on fire. Her skin burned where Mark trailed his tongue over it, rubbing carefully his scruff over the most sensitive spots.

"Dr. Mark Sloan."

"Yes. That's me." Lexie had enough. The feeling of losing him was still too fresh in her mind and she couldn't take it anymore. So she pressed her back into the wall for stabilization and literally climbed onto him to wrap her legs around Mark pulling him into her. Crushing her lips on his she forced her tongue into his mouth before he could open it and kissed him with all the passion she was currently feeling inside of her. Releasing him she pulled his head further down and took his ear lobe between her teeth biting down carefully before she whispered into his ear.

"Big Sloan into Little Grey." Lexie sucked on his flesh directly under his ear and wrapped her legs more tightly around him "Now."

Mark couldn't resist her one minute longer and the moment they got rid of their clothes he took her right there and then against the wall.

After they both experienced once again mind-blowingly fantastic sex with each other, Lexie's head lay on Mark's shoulder, Mark leaned with his head against the wall, barely able to hold Lexie anymore.

"Hold on." Mark rasped and he took the few steps towards the bed so that they could collapse onto it. Lexie immediately snuggled in his embrace and Mark wrapped his arm around her, pulling her even further into him, giving her a peck on the forehead.

"I sure have some bruises now." Lexie stated contentedly.

"I wasn't very gentle. That's for sure. But it was your fault, you know?" Mark murmured into her hair.

"Yeah." Lexie said smugly.

"You like it when I'm losing it completely, aren't you?" Mark asked slightly curious.

"Well, not always. Wouldn't survive it." Lexie chuckled. "I already feel the soreness."

"But it was worth it?"

"Oh, it was so worth it." Lexie informed him.

They lay silently for a few minutes before Mark pulled back slightly, putting a finger under Lexie's chin to tilt her head up. Lexie looked up at him questioningly and Mark trailed with his thumb over her lips before he broke the silence.

"I'm so sorry, Lex." Mark said sincerely.

"For what?" Lexie asked slightly surprised.

"Not remembering you." Mark stated quietly.

"It wasn't your fault." Lexie lifted her hand and caressed his cheek, leaning forward to gave him a quick kiss on his lips before she took his hand and intertwined their fingers.

"That doesn't make it any better." Mark told her apologetically.

"No. I guess not." Lexie replied.

"But you gave up too easily."

"Maybe. I'm glad you remembered me in time to stop me."

"Me too."

"Mark?" Lexie asked softly.

"Yeah?" Mark's voice was barely audible while he trailed his other hand lazily over her spine.

"I love you." Lexie told him with a slightly choked up voice.

"I love you too, Lexie." Mark replied, pulling her back into his embrace.

They both closed their eyes and drifted off in a well deserved sleep, entangled in each other.
