Chapter 14

A couple of minutes later, Matt and Jeff busted through Marks' dressing room door…and Mark was standing there with his hands on his hips…Matt said, "Sandra, are you okay?" I said, "Yea, I'm better then okay." Jeff said, "Are you sure…we noticed you was missing and we thought maybe you came down here to kill Deadman…" I said, "Actually, we had a pretty good talk and came to some final agreements…He's going to be Christopher's daddy, cause that's who he is…and we're still very much in love…but were going slow.." I looked at Mark and said, "Hell yes."

Matt and Jeff turned around and were walking out the door when Matt said, "Wow that was fast…" Jeff said, "No shit…what does she need us for?" Matt said, "Who knows…" I laughed at them and said, "Smart asses." They turned around and sat down with Mark and me and we talked for the longest time…The next day Mark and I were sitting in his hotel room and we explained to Christopher who Mark was exactly…it took him about a month to warm up to Mark…

One night I was in the shower, when I got out and got dressed…I went into the bedroom…and Christopher was sleeping on Mark, and Mark had fallen asleep also…I was leaning against the door way thinking…Life doesn't get any better then this…Me and Mark were getting back into the swing of things, well not really swinging…but just trying to get us to work out, cause if was a very long road…Jeff had made a trip back to Cameron our home town and picked up every single video he had recorded of me from the time I was pregnant…to actually having Christopher to present day…there were tons and tons of tapes…Mark actually took 3 days and watch every single one of them…Jeff had copies made of every single tape for Mark…

Probably right around 6 months later…My relationship with Mark was very nice…Me and Christopher had flown out to Houston Texas, where his ranch was, and spent Christmas with him there…one night after I had already put Christopher down for bed…I went back down stair and Mark was sitting in a huge over stuffed chair and was watching the football game on TV…I went over and sat on his lap. Mark wrapped his long arms around me…and held me tight against his chest…and was starting to kiss on my neck. I turned to the side so I could see his face and we started kissing…

Mark carried me upstairs to his room, and laid me across the bed…our clothes were quickly disposed of, and Mark's erection was soon rocking inside of me…I was moaning Mark's name over and over, but we were both trying not to be too loud, we did not want to wake up Christopher. When we both climaxed, it was pretty damn intense, considering the last time I had had sex was 3 years prior to that night and with the same man…Mark I didn't know…but even if his orgasm was just as intense as mine was…as we laid spent in each others arms…Mark was slowly running his fingers through my hair…and I was tracing the patterns of his tattoos with my finger tips…

We laid there in silence for about 15 minutes…I could tell Mark was thinking about something…he was just staring at the ceiling…I kissed his chest and propped my head up on my hand and said, "Hey you." Mark moved around a little and looked down at me and said, "Yes?" I said, "You're in awfully deep thought…what's on your mind baby?" Mark kissed my lips and said, "You really want to know?" I said, "Sure…why not…since your attention is somewhere other then me…and the scary noises that just came from this bed…" Mark smiled and let out a some what small laugh…and said, "Oh believe me, my mind is not wondering anywhere off this bed…and what we just did…you do know three years is a long time to wait for someone you love…believe me, I think it was worth the wait…"

Did I hear him right…I said, "What?" Mark said, "Okay…so I haven't had sex in 3 years….not since the last time I had you in this very same position…did I have…as they call it at work…ring rust? I guess you could call it bed rust…" I said, "Rust? You…Get real! You made me feel the same exact way you did three years ago…only this time, I think my eyes rolled into the back of my head…" Mark laughed a little and said, "I love you Cassandra, I really do..." I smiled and touched his cheek and said, "I love you too Mark…" I leaned up a little and kissed his lips…after we made love about 3 more times…I was finally wrapped in his arms, with my back to him…and I was just about to fall asleep…figuring Mark had already fallen asleep, cause his breathing was pretty calm.

I snuggled closer and Mark said, "Cassandra…" I said, "Yes?" Mark said, "Marry me?"
