As soon as Brandy woke up, a sorrow settled over her. Mark was leaving today, and he wouldn't be back for three months. She hated it when this time came. It hurt being away from him so long, and she constantly thought of him. Snuggling closer to him, she softly ran her hand along his chest, wishing she could go with him but knowing it simply was not an option if she wanted to create a career for herself.

Suddenly, a sly grin crossed Brandy's face. Mark may be leaving, but she could still leave him with something to remember her by. She cautiously moved over him, and started kissing his chest, teasing both of his nipples before making her way down his body. She pulled the covers further down, and settled between his legs as she admired his gloriously naked body. They had made love numerous times the previous night, but she still wanted to give him one last "goodbye gift". Her gaze fell on his limp member, and she took it in her hand. Brandy looked back up at him, and saw he was beginning to stir slightly. As she began running her hand along his growing length, she couldn't help but to think to herself, "He's in for one big surprise when he wakes up."

As Mark began to wake up, he immediately noticed the wonderful pleasure he was feeling. He could feel someone sucking his cock, and didn't know if he was dreaming or not. Letting out a loud groan, he opened his eyes, and found Brandy between his legs, her full lips wrapped around his shaft as she took him down her throat. "Brandy, what are you doing?" he mumbled.

She looked back up at him, a devilish look in her eyes, and she took him out of her mouth long enough to reply, "Waking you up."

He let his head fall back when she once more started sucking on him, and let the pleasure he was feeling overtake him. He was still worn out from the previous night, so he decided to simply lie back and enjoy what she was doing to him. "Mm, baby, that feels so good," he murmured, folding one arm beneath his head and his other hand cradling the back of her head as he looked down at her to watch her talents. He groaned when she started pumping the root of his shaft with her hand, not knowing how much longer he could last.

Brandy could feel him twitching in her mouth, and knew he was growing dangerously close. Sucking even harder yet, she squeezed on both his balls and shaft at the same time, and he immediately let out a loud moan as he came. She swallowed every drop of his load, sucking him until he calmed down, and finally made her way back up by him. "Good morning honey," she said in a sweet voice, wrapping her arms around his neck and running a hand through his hair as she curled up by him.

"Mm, morning to you too," he mumbled, nuzzling his head into her shoulder. "That was quite the wake-up call, darlin'."

She giggled. "I thought you might like it," she replied, and it was his turn to chuckle.

"Please, though…no more. I don't know if I can take anymore," he pleaded, and she once more laughed.

"You all tapped out, big guy?" she asked teasingly.

"I'm beyond that, little one," he replied, grinning when she giggled, and pulled her closer to him.

"Just consider this a little…goodbye present," she replied, smirking at him. "Did you like what I got you?" she asked innocently.

"I fucking loved it. You knew just what I wanted," he replied, giving her a passionate kiss before reluctantly getting out of bed and heading into the bathroom. He had a long day ahead of him, and wasn't looking forward to it.

"I hate this," Brandy whimpered as she clung to Mark, burying her face in his chest. They were standing outside next to his truck, merely minutes from being once more separated.

"I know, I hate this too, darlin'," he replied, softly stroking her back as he held her to him. Each time, it grew harder and harder to leave her.

"It's my own fault for falling in love with someone who travels for work," she commented, intending for it to be a joke, but when she looked up she could see a hint of hurt in his eyes.

"Brandy, if you want out of this..."

Realizing her words had been taken the wrong way, she pulled him down for a kiss, holding onto him tightly. "I never want out of this, Mark. You're stuck with me," she reassured him, and squealed with laughter when he suddenly straightened up, pulling her up in his arms as he did so.

"You sure?" he asked, worry still in his eyes.

"I'm positive," she replied, taking his face in her hands, and they shared a smile.

Mark kissed her once more, before placing her back on her feet. "Depending on where things are with your job situation, I can see if I can fly you out to California for the last couple of days of my tour if you want," he commented, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

She once more smiled up at him. "That sounds wonderful," she replied, and he grinned back at her. "Oh! Before I forget, I got you something," she said, and pulled something out of her pocket.

"You didn't have to get me anything, Brandy," he said, taking the small item from her.

"I wanted you to. Now open it," she said. He opened the small box, and smiled warmly at the item. Even though it was a simple silver chain, to him it was more precious than gold. "Do you like it?" she asked in a hesitant voice.

He engulfed her in his arms. "I love it, darlin'," he replied in a quiet voice. For some reason, this small gesture had sparked his emotions. When he pulled away, he took the chain out of the box and immediately put it on, the weight of the metal on his chest comforting to him. It was a constant reminder that, in one way or another, she was always there with him.

"It looks great on you," she said, fixing it for him.

"Thank you again, darlin'," he said, and grabbed her chin, giving her a soft kiss. "I'll call you once I get to my hotel," he added once he pulled away, and gave her yet another kiss when she nodded, this one more passionate.

When they finally ended it, Brandy said, "Be careful, okay? And be sure to call. You know I worry."

"I promise I will," he said, running a hand through her hair before putting his bags in his truck. Before getting in, he turned back around and asked, "Will you do me a favor while I'm gone?"

"Anything."

"Will you be sure to take care of my bike?"

"You know I will," she replied, and he grinned as he got in the rental car. Shutting the door, he started it up, and looked over at her, grinning when he saw her waving real big at him and waving back before driving off. As Brandy watched him drive off, she thought to herself, "Just three more months until I can see him again."
