Nikki woke up to find during the night she had somehow shifted. She was curled close to Mark and her head was on his stomach. She rubbed her face against his firm stomach. He had a fine covering of auburn hair on his chest and stomach. She ran her hand over it loving the feel of it. Nikki traced the letters of the Tat on his stomach. Nikki pressed her lips to his stomach placing small kisses in various spots.
"Little girl, ya keep that up your going to be in a world of trouble." Mark said in a husky voice.
Mark reached down and cradled her head in his large hand. Nikki looked up at him and smiled.
"Good morning. I think this is the first time I ever seen you wake up with a smile on your face. Now I know how to wake you up." Nikki said grinning.
"Yea that's definitely on my top ten list of how to be woke up." Mark said.
"What time is it?" Nikki asked.
Mark looked at his watch.
"Its noon." He said.
"I guess I better get up." Nikki said stretching.
"What's your hurry? You got three days to get your pictures developed. Let's be lazy and spend the day in bed. I'll order us some room service." Mark said propping some pillows up and sitting up against the headboard.
"I tell you what. Order lunch, we'll spend a couple of hours goofing off, then I have a few errands to run." Nikki said.
Mark frowned. "I guess if that's the best you can do." He said.
"Oh there's the Mark I know. The big ole, grumpy, mean, papa bear." Nikki said and started tickling his ribs.
"Hey stop it brat." Mark said trying hard not to laugh.
"Ah ha. The Undertaker is ticklish, wait till this gets out." Nikki said still tickling him.
Mark was laughing as he grabbed her and pinned her hands above her head. He leaned his body lightly over hers to hold her still.
"Now you're in trouble brat." Mark growled at her.
Nikki was still giggling.
"What are you going to do to me, Mark?" She asked laughing.
Mark growled at buried his face in her neck tickling her with his goatee and mustache till she was laughing hysterically.
"Okay Mark, I give up." Nikki said trying to catch her breath.
Mark pulled back grinning and let her go.
"You, big bully." She said grinning.
"That's right and don't forget it." Mark said.
Mark grabbed the phone and ordered them some lunch. Then he came back and sat down on the bed. Nikki came up behind him and rested her hands on his shoulders rubbing them.
"How's you're head this morning?" she asked.
"Better, mmm that feels good." Mark said as she rubbed his shoulders and neck.
"Mark, can I ask you something?" Nikki asked.
Nikki moved her hands to the nape of his neck massaging.
"Mmm, yea sure." He said sounding relaxed.
"How many times have you been married?" Nikki asked.
"Twice." He answered.
"Why did you get a divorce?" Nikki asked.
"Well I was real young the first time, I thought I was in love, I was just in heat. Things went bad quick. I can be a real asshole in case you hadn't noticed." Mark said in amusement.
Nikki moved her hands to his head massaging his scalp. Mark leaned back into her hands.
"Damn that feels good." Mark said.
"My second marriage was not so long ago. She was young. She thought she was marrying the Undertaker, not me. She was disillusioned by all the traveling, she hated it. So she decided to stay at home, she hated being alone. She said I was a controlling bastard when I was around, which I am. While I was on the road, she found her a nice safe banker to fuck, ended up divorcing me and marrying him. I hear they got a kid now." Mark said.
Nikki heard the bitterness in his voice.
"Do you still love her?" Nikki asked in a quite voice.
"No, I'm not sure if I ever did. I thought it was my chance to settle down maybe start a family. It just didn't work out." Mark said.
There was a knock at the door.
"Foods here, Get your ass under them covers, I'd hate to have to beat some waiter for gawking at you." Mark said.
Nikki rolled her eyes but did as he said.
Mark opened the door and took the tray and set it down at the table. He tipped the waiter and he left. Mark came over to the bed.
"Now that was a real good girl. See it aint so hard doing what I say is it?" Mark asked grinning.
Nikki picked up the pillow off the bed and whacked him as hard as she could and fell back laughing. Mark picked her up and carried her over to the table and sat down with her in his lap.
"I knew it was too good to be true, I'll have to start your training all over again." Mark said picking at her.
Nikki picked up the plate of fruit and started eating.
"I can't be trained Mark, it's hopeless." Nikki said popping a grape in his mouth.
"I know that girl. I think I'll keep you anyway." Mark said laughing.
Nikki just smiled. I'll definitely be keeping you." She thought.
