Katlyn sat in Mark's dressing room typing away on her computer. The last month and a half had flown by. She had passed her GED with flying colors and was now taking writing classes. She had begun to write her own children's books and illustrate them and send them off to publishers. She hadn't had any accepted yet but she was hopeful since she had just started. Mark was pleased with her and told her he was proud of her. That made her happier than anything. She was surprised at first how normal her and Mark's relationship was. She had imagined at first he would try to control her every move, but he didn't. She went out with the girls when she wanted she made her own decisions about her future. Mark of course was his ever bossy self but to Katlyn that was just one part of his personality and she didn't particularly mind it. The only rough spot had come about a month ago. Her and Mark had been at the hotel bar with Glen. She had been drinking soda of course while the two men had beer. Mark told her to go on up to bed that he would be up later.
"I'm not ready for bed." Katlyn said.
Mark gave her a look.
"We got an early flight tomorrow, now git on up ta bed." Mark said.
"I don't want to." Katlyn said.
"Girl ya got 5 seconds to get yer ass going." Mark said.
Katlyn had stood up with her hands on her hips.
"I don't have to, kiss my ass Mark, you're not my daddy." Katlyn said.
Mark had grabbed her and smacked her hard on her butt and told her to move it.
Mark realized his mistake when he saw the look on her face.
"Boy you just fucked up." Glen mumbled when he seen the look on her face.
"Mark I want to talk to you alone NOW." Katlyn bit out and turned and marched to a table in the corner of the bar.
Mark followed her across to the table and sat down.
"Mark our relationship is our business and no one else's, if you ever act like that in front of one of our friends again, I will walk out of here and never come back." Katlyn said.
"Katy, you went into this relationship knowing how I was. I didn't make no secret of it, and you agreed to it, so why are ya pissed?" Mark asked.
"Because you acted like that in front of Glen, what goes on in the privacy of our room is one thing, but to do that shit in front of Glen, oh hell no." Katlyn said.
"So you're not mad cause I swatted yer ass, your mad cause I did it in front of Glen?" Mark asked.
"Yes." Katlyn said.
Mark sighed.
"I'm sorry I embarrassed you." Mark said.
"I'm sorry I cursed at you." Katlyn said.
Katlyn got up and kissed him.
"Goodnight." Katlyn said and walked out of the bar.
Katlyn brought her thoughts back to the present. Mark was as good as his word. He hadn't done anything like that since.
"Hey baby girl, writing?"
Katlyn looked up and smiled.
"Hey Mark." Katlyn said.
Mark sat down on the couch.
"Can ya spare a minute for the man who loves ya?" Mark asked grinning.
Katlyn smiled and got up and went to sit on his lap.
Mark wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
"Mmmm sweet." Mark murmured and pulled back to look at her.
"So what are yer plans for tonight?" Mark asked.
"I'm going out dancing with the girls after the show tonight." Katlyn said.
"And after that I'm hoping to get lucky with a very handsome man." Katlyn said giggling.
Mark smiled at her teasing. Katlyn had really blossomed in the last months, coming out of her shell. She had a spunky, playful personality that he loved.
"What does this man look like?" Mark asked smiling.
"Well he's very tall with gorgeous green eyes, and these sexy tats all over his body, he's just absolutely lick able." Katlyn said smiling.
Mark growled and kissed her hard on the mouth sliding his tongue in to taste her.
"Mmmmm." Katlyn moaned.
Mark pulled back and grinned at her.
"What time will you be home?" Mark asked.
"Around 1:00AM maybe earlier. I'm kind of tired." Katlyn said.
"Okay." Mark said.
"You know you're more than welcome to come with me." Katlyn said.
"I know sweetie, but you need time out with your friends, you go and have a good time, I'll be there waiting when you get home." Mark said kissing her cheek.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Mark yelled.
"Hey guys." Paul said walking in.
"Hey Paul." Mark said.
Katlyn got up and hugged Paul. They had become good friends over the last month and a half and Katlyn had been surprised when Mark didn't seem to mind. She remembered when she had first approached Mark about having lunch with Paul.
He had said. "Sure little girl, you don't have to ask me if you can have lunch with someone, go on and have fun."
"But he's a guy." Katlyn had protested.
Mark had laughed.
"Baby girl, I trust you and I have known Paul for years, he's a friend. He would never do any thing to disrespect me or you. Now go on and have a good time." Mark had said.
So her and Paul had become good friends. She had eventually told Paul about her past and the way she had been raised. She trusted him that much. He was one of the few people she had trusted enough besides Mark to tell them about her past.
"Hey Katlyn." Paul said returning the hug.
"Trish invited me to go to the club with you guys tonight. She hasn't been to this particular club before and I think she wants a guy along just to keep and eye out for trouble." Paul said.
"Trish is a sensible girl. I'll feel better knowing your there to keep and eye on Katy." Mark said.
Katlyn rolled her eyes; she didn't need a baby sitter.
Paul just grinned.
"Don't worry I'll keep a good eye on all the girls, why don't you come with us deadman." Paul said.
"No, I'm a little wiped out, maybe next time." Mark said.
Paul nodded. He knew Mark was trying to give Katlyn her own space. Paul was actually surprised by how well Mark and Katlyn's relationship was working out. They seemed well suited for each other and he had laid his worries to rest a good while ago. Katlyn was happy with Mark that was obvious.
"Okay then, I'll see you tonight Katlyn, I'll meet you guys at the club." Paul said.
"Okay, see you then." Katlyn said.
Paul left and Katlyn went back to her computer.
"Katy." Mark called.
"Yes Mark." Katlyn said without looking up.
"Take off yer clothes and get yer cute little ass over here." Mark said.
Katlyn looked up smiling and seen the desire in his eyes.
Katlyn shed her clothes.
"Yes Mark." Katlyn said and went to fulfill his desires and hers.
