Chapter 9

"Good morning Aria." Ric said that following morning.

He was at our house when I got up that following morning and came downstairs. I had changed into some sweat pants and put on a pink jacket to cover myself up. Man I hated feeling uncomfortable in my own house…then again it wasn't really my house.

"Hey Ric." I said before heading into the kitchen.

"Uh no hug today honey?" he asked.

I sighed and turned around, "Sorry, I'm not feeling too well…how are you?"

"Oh you know me, I'm always doing great when I see that smiling face of yours." He said.

I nodded slowly, "Well that's good I suppose. Um, where's my uncle?"

"Oh he's up in his room getting ready for his weigh in over in Pennsylvania." He said. "We're leaving here shortly."

I nodded and glanced up the steps before taking a few steps into the room. "Oh…can I ask you something Ric?"

"Sure go ahead," he said as he sat up in his chair.

I looked back at the steps and then looked at him, "Did you talk to him late last night?"

He shook his head, "Oh no honey, I'm normally in bed by 7…why?"

I looked away for a moment and then decided to drop the subject. "Nevermind…it's nothing."

"Are you sure?" he asked. "You know you can talk to me about anything."

I nodded, "Yea I know…but I can't talk to you right this second."

He sighed, "Ok well if you really need to talk…you know you can call me."

"Ok, I'll remember that." I said with a smile. "So how long are you guys going to be gone? I was thinking about opening up the gym today since I have nothing to do."

"We'll be gone for two days or so." He said. "Your uncle has a fight there the day after the weigh-in."

"Oh…ok then."

"Are you sure you're alright?"

I nodded, "Yes I'm fine. I promise."

"Alright then." He said.

The both of us fell silent when my uncle's footsteps sounded above our heads. I dropped my gaze and went over to our couch to sit down. When he came down the steps I tried not to look in his direction. He walked into the room and sat his bags down, greeting Ric before walking over behind the couch. He leaned down and kissed the top of my head making me feel even more awkward than I did before.

"Good morning sweetie," he said. "I'm getting ready to go."

I nodded, "Oh, alright…"

He looked back at me, "Are you ok?"

I glanced in his direction, not lifting my eyes to meet his gaze, "I just don't feel that well."

"Oh…well maybe I should stay home and take care of you."

I shook my head, "No I'm ok. It's just a little stomach bug."

He nodded and then picked up his bags, "Well I'll call you when I make it to Pennsylvania ok? Remember don't go anywhere…I don't want anything to happen to you."

I sighed, "I'm going to have to leave the house, I work remember?"

Ric smiled, "She's right man. Just leave this girl alone. Let her breathe every once in awhile."

Dave glared at Ric, "The last time I checked she was my niece and my responsibility."

"Yes but she's also a grown ass woman Dave. Lighten up for these few days and you'll see she'll be right here when you get home."

He glanced at me, "Alright…but come home at a decent hour. Don't let me find out you were out all night long."

I rolled my eyes, "You haven't allowed me to make many friends so you don't have anything to worry about."

He took a deep breath to control himself and then turned and left the house. Ric looked back at me and winked before following him. I got up and went to the window to watch him leave. I was planning on finding those security cameras and turning them off so he wouldn't be able to watch me.

I dashed upstairs and thoroughly checked my bedroom for cameras. I looked in the corners of the curtains, my bed posts, and even my mirror. I sighed with relief when I didn't find any at first but when I checked my closet, I saw a little red flashing light in the far right corner. I gritted my teeth and decided to block the camera by piling my shoeboxes up in front of it. Once that was taken care of I went around the rest of the house and carefully disposed of the cameras in an orderly fashion. Once I was satisfied, I got dressed and decided to open up the gym for the day. I decided to wear a short blue jean skirt with a sexy v-neck top.

I curled my hair and put on some make-up before grabbing my purse and heading for the garage. I set the alarm on the house before leaving, making sure to at least follow one rule…

I rode downtown to the gym singing songs to myself and enjoying this time away from my uncle. When I got there, I walked up to the front door and punched in the code to open the door. I walked inside and turned on all the lights, only to see a huge bouquet of roses waiting on the front desk for me.

I smiled a little wondering how anyone could have gotten in there without me knowing. Slowly I walked up to them and checked the card. They were indeed addressed to me but from who?

I picked them up and walked around the counter to my desk. I sat the flowers down and then took a seat in front of the computer. As soon as I hit the button to turn it on, I heard a voice from the locker room area.

"I hope you like the flowers…"

I glanced up over the counter and saw Mark leaning against the door frame. He was dressed in some black jeans and a tight white shirt that hugged every curve of his muscles. I couldn't fight my smile as he approached the desk.

"How did you get in here?" I asked.

He scratched his head and then pointed towards the basement. "Your uncle doesn't lock his basement doors too often."

I giggled, "Oh…well the flowers are a nice touch but…I still want to know more about my uncle's past."

He nodded, "And I still want you to persuade me."

I glared at him with a smirk and then sighed. "How about we do a private session today…just me and you?"

He raised his eyebrow, "I like how that sounds..."

I handed him the keys to lock the front door while I shut down the computer. I then got up and had him follow me to the locker room that no one really used. I was a little shocked to see candles lit and a table set up with nice hot food waiting on the table. I turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Dinner and candle light in my uncle's gym…I think I'm being spoiled." I said.

He smiled and closed the door. "Women with an attitude like yours must be spoiled…it helps keep you in line."

I wanted to smack him, but something about how he said it sort of turned me on. He took my hand and led me to a chair, graciously pulling it out for me. I took my seat and he pushed me up to the table before sitting down adjacent to me.

"So, Aria…I hear your uncle is out of town." He said.

I nodded, "Yes he is, thank God. I really can't stand to be around him much longer."

He nodded and started helping me fill my plate with golden chicken breast, mashed potatoes, and hot gravy. I couldn't help but to start eating since I had skipped out on breakfast that morning. The food tasted absolutely delicious…almost as delicious as he looked.

"What's going on with you and him? I thought you two were pretty tight? Like Bonnie and Clyde…"

I giggled, "It was that way at one point…"

He took a bite of his food while I reminisced about my uncle and I. "My mom was real young when she had me…he taught me how to ride a bike and how to write. Now…I'm sorry."

I put down my fork and picked up my napkin as the tears I had been holding back began to pour from my eyes.

"Hey it's alright Aria…I told you before you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to."

I shook my head and wiped my eyes, "But I do need to talk to someone Mark…and right now you're the only one I can trust."

He nodded, "What's going on Aria."

I sighed and then smiled at him, "I'll tell you…if you persuade me."

He chuckled and then licked his lips, "oh I have no problem doing that."

I giggled as he leaned over to me gently pressed his lips to mine. I closed my eyes and placed my hand on the back of his head as his tongue traced my bottom lip. I hesitated at first but then realized how free and open Mark made me feel. I opened my eyes for a second and he opened his. We locked eyes for a moment before he brought his lips back to mine. I opened my mouth, letting his tongue have complete access. I felt myself getting up from my seat, not realizing that he was actually pulling me up with him.

His hands traveled down my waist until he reached my thighs. As we continued to kiss, he slid his hands up my skirt and tugged my pink thong off. It gently slid down my legs and hit the floor. His hands cupped my head while my hands worked their magic on his belt buckle and zipper. I stepped out of my thong as he backed me up until I hit one of the lockers. I wrapped my arms around his neck just before his pants dropped to the floor. I gasped a little when I felt his penis hit my leg, but that was cut short by small moans of pleasure. He was working his tongue on my neck and gently nibbling on my skin. I could feel my pussy growing wetter with anticipation and even more so when I reached down and grasped his penis. My God…he was so big and I was so ready for him to put it inside of me.

The heat between us was already intense so when he picked me up and slowly lowered me onto his penis, I leaned my head back and released a cry of pleasure. I squeezed my legs around his waist and held on tight as his dick kept sliding inside of me. He pressed his cheek against mine and moaned deeply.

"Damn you're so tight Aria…I'm going to make you mine." He said before slowly beginning to work himself inside of me.

I moaned softly at first, closing my eyes as he made love to me. He kept it slow, trying to drag out our climaxes, but I just couldn't stand the teasing. I unwrapped myself from him and made him lay down on the bench. As soon as he got down, I straddled him, placing my feet on the ground on either side of him. I then bent over him and began bouncing my body up and down on his dick. He grabbed my hips and moaned as the intensity of our sex increased. I found myself basically yelling his name so loud that it could have been heard all over the gym. A few short moments later, we climaxed together and I laid on top of him, completely exhausted.

"Wow…I never thought this would happen here." He said as he tried to catch his breath.

I sighed with a smile, "Yea me neither…" He wrapped his arms around me, "You know…after today, you're mine whenever I can get you right?"

I giggled and looked up at him, "That won't be a problem, trust me."

We shared one more kiss before getting up and cleaning up the room. I went to bed that night with nothing on my mind, but that very hot moment with Mark.
