Warning this chapter contains mature sexual content.

Mark laid Faith on the bed and went and locked her bedroom door. Faith just lay there watching him hungrily.

Mark walked over and took her hands pulling her up. "Undress me." He whispered close to her ear.

Faith's hands trembled as she started with his shirt pulling it up over his head and she tossed it aside. Her fingers couldn't resist running over his muscular arms and then down his stomach to rest on his belt buckle.

She looked up at his sharp intake of breath and she smiled seeing that her touch was affecting him so.

Faith concentrated on unbuckling his belt and then popping the button on his jeans, she slowly lowered his zipper and then pulled the fabric down over his strong thighs, bending down so she could get them past his feet and get them off.

Mark's erection got even harder seeing her down on her knees in front of him. Faiths hands came to rest on the band of his boxers and she pushed them down his hips and pulled them off tossing them with the rest of his clothes. She stood and looked at his shaft standing at full attention. "Oh my God, you're a big boy aren't you?"

Mark laughed. "I ain't had no complaints."

Faith smiled. "I bet not."

Mark reached down and pulled off her shirt, and then her bra, he bent his head to run his tongue over one hardened tip and then the other and Faith gasped in pleasure. "Hold that thought, let me get the rest of these clothes off." Mark said unsnapping her jeans and pulling them down and off.

He then hooked his fingers in the waist band of her panties and slid them down her hips and down her slim legs. He removed them and looked at her. "You're beautiful Faith." He said drawing her in his arms and kissing her deeply.

Faith wrapped her arms around him getting closer to him, the feel of his body pressed tightly to hers made her tingle all over.

Mark's tongue pushed into her mouth, his kiss hot and demanding. Mark laid her back on the bed and lay down over her. "Darlin, you on birth control?"

Faith nodded unable to speak at the moment, she was hot and wet and all she wanted was Mark in her .

Mark was feeling the same way, God knows he wanted their first time to be special, but he wanted to sink into her so bad.

Faith wrapped her legs around him using her hips to grind against his shaft.

Mark gasped. "Faith, damn woman, you're killing me."

Faith grabbed his face and held it steady and she looked in his eyes. "I want you in me Mark, Now."

Mark kissed her hard and thrust forward sinking into her wet heat in one hard stroke. Faith moaned in a mixture of pleasure and pain, he was so big. Mark couldn't stop if he wanted to to, his hips thrust forward, his movements pinning her in place as he sank into her willing body over and over.

Mark closed his eyes as she whimpered and groaned beneath him. Her hands grasped at his body and her hands stroked him all over while he thrust hard and fast.

Mark slid his hands under her hips lifting them so he could sink deeper in her warm body, he felt her contracting around his shaft and thrust harder. "Come on Faith, come for me." He growled even as he thrust hard into her.

Faith gripped his arms and gave a low keening sound as she climaxed, her body arched into his and Mark pushed one last time into her heat and exploded. " Damn Faith." He growled as intense pleasure washed over him, his heavy body collapsed on top of Faith, but she didn't care, she just wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek.

Mark adjusted his big body somewhat so his full weight wasn't resting directly on her, but his body still covered hers and they were still connected, Mark not ready to break the contact. "I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear.

Faith pulled his face to hers. "What on earth for?"

"I went too fast, I was too rough." He said laying his forehead to hers and gazing in her eyes.

Faith smiled and kissed him gently. "Don't be silly Mark, it was wonderful, and truthfully, rough or not I enjoyed it very much, you didn't hurt me."

Mark settled between her legs and kissed her. "Darlin, I can be a little single minded when I'm turned on, I just don't want to scare you off."

Faith grinned and kissed him. "I don't have a problem with that, I was a little eager myself."

Mark slid his tongue in her mouth and his tongue teased hers till she was breathless, Faith gasped when she felt his erection come back to life in her and he started thrusting slowly in her.

Mark's mouth moved down to draw her nipple in his mouth and Faith's hands came up to cradle his head as he suckled first one breast and then the other.

"Mark." She murmured as he moved in her slowly, the tingle building slowly and spreading over her body.

Mark lifted his head to watch her face, she was so beautiful, her hips moved against his meeting his slow thrusts. "Thats it darlin, move for me, show me what ya want." He said as his hands went between her legs to tease her nub.

Faith gasped at the new intense sensation and her legs wrapped around Mark's waist. "Harder...Please." She pleaded.

Mark grinned and continued to move slowly building her pleasure and desire. Mark watched her, her breathing was rapid and she moaned and moved with him, how could she ever think she wasn't good in bed, she was turning him on to the point he was about to lose control.

Mark felt her clench around him and he grunted as he drove into her hard and fast. Faith clung to his body as her climax washed over her, she called his name over and over as he drove into her wet heat.

Mark cried out her name as he sank into her one last time, his body releasing deep in her heat.

Mark fell forward his long hair fanning over both of them and he kissed her deeply, he moved off of her and fell to his back, one big hand dragging her over to lay against him.

Faith clung to his body still trembling from her climax. His big hands ran up and down her body stroking her.

"Damn woman, you drained me." Mark said smiling.

Faith smiled and leaned over to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you."

Mark chuckled. "Well you're most welcome, but maybe I should be thanking you, you're amazing honey."

Faith propped her head on his chest looking at him. "Really?"

Mark grinned at her and playfully smacked her butt. "Yea really, you turn me on baby, and you feel so good...I love the way you whimper my name when you're coming."

Faith turned red and buried her face against his chest. Mark just chuckled and stroked her back. Faith closed her eyes and wrapped a arm around his waist.

Mark watched her as she drifted off to sleep, Faith was amazing, the way she responded to his touch, he wanted her, and sleeping with her didn't change anything, he still wanted her just as much as before and he still wanted to be with her and the kids, maybe even more so now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Faith's eyes opened and she glanced at the clock, she hadn't slept long, it was only three AM. She rolled over and the first thing she noticed that Mark was gone, she sat up quickly and looked around the room.

Her heart sank, Mark had got what he wanted and taken off, tears pricked her eyes, she had thought there something more between them.

She jumped as her door opened and Mark came in, wearing a pair of sweats. He climbed back in the bed pulling Faith in his arms. "What are you doing up darlin?"

"Umm I just woke up, where were you." Faith asked, grateful that he hadn't left.

Mark heard the odd note in her voice. "I went to check on the kids."

Faith laid her head on his arm, if she hadn't been in love with him before, she was now, the gesture touched her heart.

Mark tilted her chin up and he looked at her. "You thought I took off huh?"

Faith sighed and nodded.

Mark bent and kissed her. "I'm not going anywhere Faith, and that reminds me, I was wondering if we could stay at my place a couple of days, I got a pool and a game room, the kids will love, lots of room for them to play, what do ya say?"

Faith just stared, she had always took Mark for the fear of commitment type, his easy going manner was beginning to worry her.

"Okay, I'm sure the kids will love it."

Mark grinned. "Good, I'll take them over in the morning, if you want to pack them up a couple of days of clothes."

Faith really wanted to ask Mark, what had changed, why he now liked the kids and seemed to be moving in the direction of a relationship with her, but she was too scared to , she didn't want to ruin what they had by questioning it.

Faith snuggled closer to Mark and closed her eyes, she was sleepy. She felt Mark move off the bed and when he got back beneath the covers, she noticed he had stripped off his sweat pants. She kept her eyes closed, amused that he was after her again so soon. Mark spread her legs and nestled between them and Faith opened her eyes. "I was sleeping." She said with a grin.
"Well darlin, its not required you stay awake, go ahead and sleep, I'll do all the work." That said he lifted her hips in his big hands and sank his shaft deeply in her.

Faith gasped as he penetrated her, all thoughts of sleep now gone. Mark thrust into her her again and again, his body needing her again, needing to feel her surrounding him. "Still Sleepy?" Mark said in her ear.

Faith shook her head and groaned as he pushed into her even harder. "God Mark."

Mark bent and kissed her pushing his tongue in her mouth, their tongues danced and duel even as he repeatedly penetrated her pulsing heat.

Faith's hands slid up his spine and her hands fisted in his hair holding him tight to her as he rode her. Her vision blurred as once again a wave of pleasure pulsed out from her center to spread over her entire body. "Mark..God Yessssss."

Mark captured her mouth once again in a deep kiss and plunged ahead, hard and fast finding his own rhythm to pleasure. "Faith." He growled against her lips, as he released deep in her heat.

Mark rolled off her and collapsed to his back. "Damn woman you got some killer pussy."

Faith blushed and slapped his arm. "You really got a way with words Mark."

Mark grinned and hauled her over in his arms. "Don't expect no Shakespeare darlin, but I will keep you well satisfied."

Faith smiled sleepily. "Sounds good to me."

Mark kissed her cheek as she drifted back to sleep, and he watched her for a while. He finally closed his eyes and drifted off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning was ordered chaos as they set about getting the twins fed and dressed. Noah was practically bouncing off the walls when he found out they were going to stay at Mark's place for a few days.

Isabel was a little more calm and resided herself to following so closely behind Mark, that he nearly tripped over her twice.

Mark finally just laughed and picked her up. "I guess its going to be safer for both of us if I just carry you Izzy."

Isabel just giggled and hugged his neck.

Faith packed up the twins clothes and a couple of outfits for herself .

Mark and the twins left after everyone had received at least two rounds of hugs and kisses including Mark.

Faith tried not to worry as she drove to work, she couldn't help but wonder if this was temporary with Mark, and while she was willing to take a risk with her own emotions, she couldn't help but worry about the kids, they already were attached to him, if her and Mark didn't work out, they would be hurt. That thought upset her, she didn't want her kids to be hurt if Mark decided playing house wasn't for him, but then Mark seemed to genuinely care about he kids, she didn't think he would do anything to purposely hurt them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Faith unlocked the bar and walked in and headed for the bar to put her purse behind the counter and then she went to the kitchen, she wanted to get lunch started first and then she would get some cleaning done.

She stopped in shock and she stepped in the kitchen, it was wreaked, someone had trashed the place, the stove had been bashed in with something, she wasn't sure what, all the pots and pans had been bashed till they were almost flattened and the sink had been stopped up and turned on , the whole floor was flooded with water. She rushed over and unstopped the sink and turned the water off. Food had been thrown everywhere.

Faith grabbed her cell and called Mark. "You better get down here now, drop the kids off at Fern's."

Mark could hear the distraught sound of her voice. "Whats wrong?"

"Someone broke in, just get down here, I'm going to call the police." She said and hung up.

Faith called the police and just stood there in shock, she had a good idea of who might have done this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark rushed in forty-five minutes later and the cops were already there. Faith was sitting on a barstool and Mark rushed over. He pulled her in his arms. "You okay?"

"Yea, just in shock that someone would do this." She took him back to the kitchen and showed him the mess.

Mark frowned. "Who would do this?" He said anger in his voice.

Faith looked at him. "Lucille thats the only person I can think of, only the kitchen was touched."

Mark nodded, it made sense, she had been throwing idle threats around for a while.

Just then the local sheriff walked over. "Hey Mark."

"Hey Justin, I know who did this." He said.

Justin nodded at Mark. "Faith here says the same thing, we have some boys dusting for prints, but the strange thing is, it wasn't broke into, the place was locked up tight and no signs of breaking and entering. Who has keys to this place?"

"Just me, Faith and Burton, since he works here once in a while." Mark said.

"Faith where were you last night?" Justin asked.

"Just hold on a minute, Faith didn't do this, are you nuts? She was with me and her kids, just go bark up another tree!" Mark shouted.
Faith put her hand on Mark's arm. "Calm down Mark."

Justin looked at Mark. "Look I had to ask, who locked up last night?"

"Burton closed." Mark bit out still angry.

"I'm going to go talk to him, in the mean time, I'll stay in touch." Justin said leaving.

Mark shook his head. "Next thing, he'll be accusing Burton." He snapped.

Faith hugged Mark. "Don't worry, Mark, I'll have it cleaned up in no time, and we'll get a new stove, we'll get new locks, put a alarm system in, it will be fine."

Mark hugged her tight. "You're right, I'll help you get cleaned up and we'll open. I know Lucille is behind this, what I don't know is how she got in, she must have got a key somewhere."

Faith tended to agree with him, Lucille had been spouting threats for a while and she was the obvious suspect.

Faith took his hand. "Come on lets get this done."

Mark followed her in the mess, she was right, they would get all this taken care of and hopefully the police would nail Lucille for this, he suppressed the desire to go over and choke Lucille, that would just make things worse.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Justin had Lucille down at the station. "Lucille your the obvious suspect, you been threatening Mark for a while.

Lucille just glared at him. "I didn't do it, I might be pissed, but I wouldn't break into his place, I'm not a criminal, a bitch yea, but I didn't do this."

"Do you have any witnesses to where you were last night after two in the morning?" He asked.

"No I was at home asleep, you know that, I'm not married, so who would I have as a witness." Lucille snapped.

Justin got up. "We're investigating this, I get any evidence contrary to what you say, I will make sure you're prosecuted."

Justin didn't like crime in his small town, and he nipped it in the bud whenever it popped up, Lucille was a handful, but she had never broke any laws, however that wouldn't stop him from arresting her if he found out she did this.

Lucille shook her head. "You better be trying to find out who really did this, cause it wasn't me, but whoever did it, trashed the kitchen trying to set me up, make it look like I did it."

Justin wondered if maybe she was right, after all Lucille had been running off at the mouth about Mark for a while, of course she would be the first suspect. "I'll be in touch." He told her. Justin watched her leave. He read people pretty good and he didnt think Lucille had done this, now to figure out who had.
