Looking at her shocked, he shook his head, she was so upset, hurt, this wasn't good for her or the baby. He shouldn't have made her go through it, all that pain and what for had he really needed to know. God he sure fucked it up this time running his hands through his hair he watched the tears fall down her face, hating that he had been the cause of them.
"No darlin I'm not happy, I am blazing that we were played, that she almost pulled us apart, you do know I didn't…?" stopping him with a finger on his soft lips she attempted a half hearted smile, knowing now how much she loved and trusted him.
"I know you didn't, Chianti has explained it all"
"What if she hadn't worked it out? What then? "
"We need never know Mark, but it's a lesson we can learn from"
"A fucking hard one darlin, what I don't understand is why? I can't for the life of me think why?"
"duh! Maybe because she wants you back?" was he that bloody stupid, it was clear the minute they met them in the mall, she saw the raw need in Sara's eyes, hell she couldn't take her gaze away from Mark all through dinner.
Why had she made him go back down to them?, she should have stuck to her gut instincts and kept him upstairs with her. To be honest, if she hadn't thought it bad manners, she would have dragged her over the damn table and clawed her bloody eyes out. Ok not the best thing to do when pregnant, that was her old behaviour, she wouldn't do that now, who the hell was she kidding she meant what she had said to Mark, she would kill her if she ever saw her again.
"What the fuck?, no baby you got that all wrong hell we only messed around a couple of times"
"May be honey you are such a good fuck she wanted more" Mark was shocked at her sarcasm,
"Are you saying I'm not darlin?" inching slowly towards her, as she backed up, she could see the predatory look in his eyes, oh she was done for now.
"Well Mark there is room for improvement, I mean you aren't getting any younger and sometimes…." His arms grabbed her to him his lips crashing to hers, so she thought there was room for improvement, sure he could get the damn job done every fucking time. Lowering her willing body to the bed, he was going to go for broke, she had laid the challenge down, he was going to prove it. No way was his little one going to be able to move come morning, NO fucking way.
Nipping along her collar bone, she squirmed beneath him, loving his mouth on her, loving how he made her feel, licking where he bit, he moved slowly down her body, leaving marks that would brand her to him. He wanted her branded to him forever, even if she hadn't been pregnant, she was still his, all his and no one else's. He had plans for them, big ones, the main one having his surname attached to hers. The thought shocked him, fuck, sitting up he moved off the bed.
"Mark?" what had she done wrong, one minute they were making love, the next
"Give me a minute darlin" trying to get his raging hormones under control, his body was screaming at him to sink into her wetness, but his mind was going crazy did he love her that much, hell yes. She had finally filled that hole that Joanie had left and he wasn't letting her go.
Seeing her get up from the bed, her body lightly flushed from their love making, his marks on her neck, breasts and inner thigh. She looked fucked and he hadn't even started. She was beautiful, how could he have ever hurt her, even when they first met he had hurt her deeply, his eyes filled up, damn he was getting to be a bloody pussy. It was true this little thing had him hook, line and bloody sinker, he was hers. Moving towards her he pulled her tight to him, breathing in her unique smell, it helped him focus.
"Do you have any damn idea how much I love you Allie?, How you have took me out of that hell and brought me into the light, sweetheart, you have replaced the hole in my heart and for that I love you so much. Marry me darlin, me you, the kids and this little one as one big family." Seeing the love and honesty in his eyes, she knew he meant it.
"Yes" that was all she got out before his mouth took hers in a passionate kiss, pouring everything he felt into it, as she gave it back to him. Moving her back to the bed, his hands gentle yet demanding, he was going to make love to her, as she deserved. Not rough and marked, but soft and sweet, just as she was.
It was early when Mark's phone went off, trying to move without waking Allie, he put it to his ear.
"Yeah" rubbing his free hand down his face, he tried to wake himself up.
"Mark it's Ken, we have what you want, When do you want to prosecute?"
"Hell Ken that was damn quick"
"Mark the amount of times you have been there for me, it's nice to be able to give something back mate. We managed to get a rap sheet on them both as long as your arm, Sara and Dan aren't married, he's her cousin, through her mum's sister or other, anyway, we have the evidence of the test done, Chianti kindly dropped it off last night, so all we need from you is the go ahead to press charges"
"Hell man, yes, Hold up when did Chianti?"
"I took the chance you may be at the hotel, so popped over, think you were busy making it up to Allie and you were not to be disturbed is how Marcus put it, so never one to stand in the way of true love, I got everything I needed. So when do I get to meet this wonderful Allie, that seems to have my mate jumping through hoops and from what Marcus said wrapped around her finger" Mark smiled at that it was so true, looking at her sleeping cuddled up to his side, her hand across his waist, yes she was wonderful.
"Soon Ken, soon. I will send you an invite" Ken almost dropped the phone
"WHAT?"
"You heard me Ken, don't make me repeat it, I asked her to marry me last night and she said yes, oh and by the way I'm going to be a dad again too"
"Well, well well, the Mark "I will never marry again" Calaway, is getting married and a little one on the way, she must be one special woman, Mark, I can't wait to meet her, you deserve to be happy after all that has happened congratulations. I will let you get back to what you were doing, will call you when all is done "
"Thanks Ken I owe you"
"Calaway I am too much in your debt for you to ever owe me see ya"
"Bye" as he put the phone on the side, he felt Allie stirring against him, she looked so cute all sleepy and warm, her eyes opening struggling to get use to the light. His head dropped to taste her lips, as his hand smoothed down her belly, he couldn't wait to see her big with his child. Pulling her over him, ensuring she was still covered by the duvet, he wasn't letting her get cold, he just stared at her.
"What?"
"You look beautiful darlin, morning, noon or night you are stunning" moving a few stray strands of hair to behind her ear, he kissed her again.
"We need to get up, meet the kids, tell them, oh god Mark did you really ask me?"
"Baby girl, it wasn't a dream it was real, and later we will go get you a ring, anything you want darlin, anything"
Marcus and Chianti were sat in the restaurant, waiting, hoping that it had finally worked out between their parents. When Ken had visited last night there was no way in hell they were going to allow him to interrupt the elders, it had taken time to get them this far.
"Do you think it has worked Marcus" he seemed to be staring into space so she nudged him.
"Sorry baby" had he really seen his dad just do that to Allie, and in public, god he so never wanted to see that again ever!.
"Do you think it has worked?"
"Well after what I have just seen, I think it has, look" following his finger she saw her mum and Mark wrapped around each other. Oh yes it had worked.
"Hi you two, we aren't that late are we?" Mark checked his watch and looked embarrassed, hadn't they got in the shower together at 8am, so how the hell was it now 9-20am. He smirked, yeah that would be right especially when he...
"I so do not want to know dad"
"No son I don't think you do" the look he shot Allie was indecent and the way he licked his lips, even Chianti was taken aback by the lust and desire rippling over Mark's face and all aimed at her mum. Saying that the looks her mums was shooting Mark, well she only hoped one day a man would look at her like that.
"Mum, you are in public you know, stop undressing him with your eyes, god if we weren't here I'd bet you'd jump him right here"
"Well Chianti darlin if my fiancée wants to jump me at the table who am I to complain" he loved seeing Allie go that red colour, reminding him of the colour she went in the shower earlier.
"Pardon?... fiancée. Mum, Mark what's going on?" had she really heard , right, looking at Marcus yeah she had, the beaming smile on his face told her that.
"Well Mark asked me last night if I would marry him and I said yes"
"Oh god, mum that's wonderful news come here Oh I am so pleased" giving both her mum and Mark a hug, kissing them both, she sat back down next to Marcus
"Son, you are awfully quiet are you ok with this?" he hoped he was, as he didn't want to be torn between Allie and Marcus, it would be so hard, but his son would have to come first,
"Ok? You ask me if I am ok, Dad it's about bloody time, Allie I am so pleased you said yes to this stubborn ass, and dad you look after her, this one is damn special just like mum was" Mark couldn't agree more, taking Allie's hand he pressed a gentle kiss on it,
"Another thing, guys, we will be having a new edition to the Family" seeing their mouths drop was priceless, taking Allie's hand they went to grab some breakfast, leaving the kids in shock.
"Do you think it was too much, too soon for them Mark?"
"Yeah. But hey they are grown up enough to handle it darlin, now let's get some breakfast, you wiped me out last night, was it six times I made you cum or seven. Kinda lost count with you screaming so loud" he laughed as she went to hit him.
"Mark enough"
"Darlin that wasn't what you were saying last night, if I remember you were clawing my back screaming more, after all didn't you say I need to improve, Did I last night or do we need to practice more" seeing her blush, made him smile, she leaned into him, kissing his cheek
"I still think you need more lessons" laughing she walked off, it was good to turn the tables on him and that look on his face was worth the punishment she would get later.
