Katlyn was packing up her laptop. She decided to bring it to the arena tonight and work on her classes while Mark was busy.

"Come here Katy and set with me a minute." Mark said patting the spot beside him on the couch.

Katlyn smiled and went to set down beside him. He had been so sweet to her this morning. He had got her out of the tub and dried her off treating her like the most precious thing in the world. He had breakfast waiting on her. They had sat down and ate but avoided any serious conversation.

"Katy I guess from what we did this morning ya made up yer mind about us." Mark said smiling.

"Well Uhh not really." Katlyn said.

Mark frowned.

"Well Darlin, judging from yer reactions you had a good of a time as I did, are ya telling me it didn't mean nothing to ya?" Mark asked perplexed.

"Mark it meant everything to me. Even if I decide I can't be in a relationship with you, I decided this morning I wanted you to be my first. I love you. It was wonderful." Katlyn said.

She climbed on his lap and hugged him tight. Mark wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips.

"Girl all I ask is give us a chance, if ya find out ya can't deal with me or a relationship with me we'll part as friends with no hard feelings. I can't imagine ya not being a part of my life in some way, I felt a bond with ya from the moment I seen ya." Mark said.

"Mark I love you, I'll give it a chance." Katlyn said.

Mark hugged her tight to his chest. They could make this work, he knew they could.

"Okay let's get a few things straight between us, that way there are no misunderstandings. I expect mutual respect; I won't cuss and holler at you, I expect the same consideration. If we have a disagreement we'll discuss it not cuss, or throw temper tantrums. I have no intention of telling you every little place you can and can't go, I'm sure you'll make friends with the girls at work and want to go out with them. You don't have to ask me, but I expect ya to let me know when you have plans a general time you'll be in so I don't sit up all night worrying." Mark said.

Katlyn was beginning to perk up a little this didn't sound so bad in fact it sounded pretty sensible.

"Another thing and this is because of yer age absolutely no drinking. You're only 18. When yer 21 ya can do what ya want to, but until then, no way, we clear on that?' Mark asked.

Katlyn figured she could live with that; she had never drunk anything anyway.

"Okay." Katlyn said.

"Anything else?" Katlyn asked.

"You're pretty sensible girl Katy; I think your common sense will guide you, don't you?" Mark asked.

Katlyn nodded at him she wasn't likely going to go around trying to find trouble.

"Now is there any thing you want to ask me?" Mark said.

"What if I make you mad?" Katlyn asked.

Mark knew she was worried. She had been badly abused by Tom, she was most likely scared he would do the same.

"Katy look at me." Mark said lifting her chin.

"I would never hurt ya or abuse you. I would however tan that cute little ass of yours if the situation warrants it." Mark said.

Mark smiled as she blushed and buried her face in his chest. He bent down and kissed the top of her head.

"There might even be a time when you learn to enjoy your bottom being warmed." Mark whispered in her ear laughing.

Katlyn looked up at him shocked.

Mark just smiled.

"There's a lot of pleasures just waiting for you to discover Katy, but we have all the time in the world and I'm a patient teacher." Mark said.

Mark lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her thoroughly, running his tongue over her lips and nudging it between her lips to sneak a taste of her. He pulled back and grinned.

"Let's go." Mark said.

Katlyn hopped up and they grabbed there stuff and headed to the arena.
