Kayla walked down to the garage. She had changed in to jeans and a tank top. Mark was sitting on the bike waiting for her.
"Come on girl get a move on." Mark said.
Kayla grinned and climbed on behind him and wrapped her arms around his wait. She locked her fingers at his stomach. Mark felt warm under her hands and the vibrations from the bike seemed to being funny things to her body.
"Ready Darlin?" Mark asked.
"Yea." Kayla said.
Mark took off down the driveway. Kayla tightened her grip for a moment. It felt like he was going awful fast. But Mark rubbed her hand with one of his as if to reassure her. She relaxed and watched the scenery and loosened her grip some. Kayla felt like she was flying, it was wonderful.
Mark was trying to concentrate on the road instead of Kayla's warm little body pressed against his. Her breasts were pushed against his back and her thighs were rubbing his not to mention her hands were locked together low on his stomach causing very sensual feelings every time they rubbed his stomach. Mark took several deep breathes to clear his head.
Kayla was having the time of her life. She loved the wind blowing threw her hair. She felt free. After a while she laid her head on Mark's back and laid there with her eyes closed just enjoying the feeling of laying against him and holding on to him.
Mark felt her head relax against his back. He smiled. Little thing was probably tired. He turned around and headed back to the ranch.
Mark pulled in the driveway and pulled up to the garage and killed the motor. Kayla didn't move. Mark laughed.
"Darlin ya going to stay there?" Mark asked.
Kayla laughed but didn't move.
"Yea in a second." Kayla said.
Kayla got on her knees on the back of the seat and wrapped her arms around his neck. She bent forward and Mark felt her hair brush his shoulder and face. Kayla placed a kiss on his cheek and then jumped off.
"Thanks Mark that was so much fun." Kayla said grinning.
Mark got off the bike.
"Your most welcome little one." Mark said.
"Well I better head off to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." Kayla said.
"I'll be gone in the morning. I got to pick up Cindy my girlfriend tomorrow at the airport." Mark said.
"Oh yeah. I forgot." Kayla mumbled.
"Well goodnight." Kayla said and took off before Mark could reply.
Mark frowned. Her good mood had changed fast. He figured she wasn't too thrilled with him bringing Cindy down here. She didn't care for strangers. Well she was going to have to accept the fact he had friends that were going to visit from time to time. It would be good for her to meet other people; she had been isolated out here for too long.
Kayla took a shower and threw her long t-shirt on. She let Champ in and fed him. Kayla grabbed a soda and flopped on the bed. Why did Mark have to have a girlfriend? She wanted him all to herself, she didn't want to share him. Damn what was wrong with her, Mark was her employer not her boyfriend. Kayla sighed. She was going to have to get past these feelings. Mark didn't think of her like that. He saw her as a child.
Mark decided to check on Kayla before he went to bed. He went and knocked on her door.
"Come in." Kayla called.
Mark walked in and she was lying on the bed writing in a notebook. She laid it down when he walked in.
"What ya doing?" Mark asked sitting on the side of the bed.
"Just writing. I kinda write these stories. I won a few contests back in school. Maybe someday I'll be a writer." Kayla said.
"That's great Kayla maybe someday you'll let me read some of you stuff." Mark said.
"Maybe." Kayla said.
"Mark?" Kayla said.
"What baby?" Mark said.
"Is your girlfriend going to move in with you?" Kayla asked.
Mark started laughing.
"Hell no, we couldn't live together, we would drive each other crazy. Besides she's a city girl, she would be nuts living out here." Mark said.
Kayla frowned.
"Aren't you two in love?" Kayla asked.
"Uh well no, Kayla were not, that's why were not married. We like some of the same things, but we wouldn't get married. We don't have those kinds of feelings for each other." Mark said.
Kayla was confused. He called her his girlfriend but says he's not in love with her.
Mark smiled at her confusion. She was so innocent in the ways of the world.
"Grown-ups are weird sometimes Kayla, don't try to understand it." Mark said.
"Hey I'm a grown-up." Kayla said insulted that he thought she was a child.
"Are ya now?" Mark said amused at her pouting lip.
"Yes." Kayla snapped.
Mark smiled at her and lifted her chin to look at her.
"Don't be in such a hurry to grow up Kayla the world is a hard place." Mark said.
"I know." Kayla said in a low tone her voice cracking.
Mark knew she was thinking about losing her dad and everything that had happened in the last few weeks.
"Aww Darlin, come here." Mark said pulling her against his chest.
Kayla lay against his chest as she cried. She missed her dad so bad.
Mark rubbed her back and kept his arms around her holding her.
"It's alright baby, just let it out." Mark said trying to soothe her.
Mark held her as her tears finally slowed down and then stopped. Mark pushed her back a little to look at her.
"Ya feel a little better baby?" Mark asked.
Kayla nodded and laid her head back on his chest. It felt good just to have some one to touch her and hold her. Mark wrapped his arms back around her and pulled her on his lap. He sat back against the headboard.
"Mark will you stay for a while?" Kayla asked.
"Yea, little one, as long as ya need me." Mark said.
Kayla snuggled closer to Mark and was soon fast asleep. Mark held her while she slept for a while. He finally laid her in the bed and kissed her on the head and tucked her in.
"Goodnight Kayla." Mark whispered
Mark turned out the light and bent to pet Champ.
"Watch over her boy." Mark said and left.
