The Real Deal

I am so sorry that this has taken so long to get posted but I am still having a real hard time writing.

Thanks for all the awesome reviews!


"Excuse me?" Harley asked.

"You heard me beautiful, I want you."

"And what makes you think that I would have you?" Harley asked angrily.

"We were good together Harley, you know that. I still to this day have no clue why you just left me without a word. You destroyed our home and didn't even have the decency to tell me why, but I forgive you nonetheless and am willing to take you back." Kendall said smugly.

"I destroyed our home? Are you fucking kidding me?" Harley spat as she started pacing back and forth in her office.

"Well yeah. I gave you everything and what did you do; you break all the dishes and bust out the windows to my corvettes and leave."

"And you have no clue why I would do that?"

"Hell no! I was furious when I came home to that mess and you were just gone. I called you time after time but you didn't even answer the damn phone. I should have called the cops but I loved you and figured you would come home and we could work this shit out but you never came back."

"You're lucky that was all I did. You hurt me Kendall; you hurt me so bad that I took my anger out on the furniture and your precious toys."

"How Harley; tell me how did I hurt you?" Kendall said walking over to Harley so that they were face to face.

"I saw you."

"Saw me what?"

"It doesn't matter now." Harley said trying to put distance between her and her former lover.

"Damn it Harley tell me! Tell me now!" Kendall demanded.

"I came by your office that day Kendall." Harley said accusingly.

By the look on Kendall's face Harley knew that he was fully aware of what she had seen that day.

"Harley…"

"Don't try to explain it Kendall you promised to never hurt me and that day you ripped my heart right out of my chest without a word and I had to leave I just had to."

"Harley I'm sorry I never meant to…"

"Get caught?" Harley finished for him.

"I never meant to hurt you, baby, I still love you." Kendall said as he pulled Harley close and kissed her.

"Get the hell off of me Kendall!" Harley said pushing Kendall away and slapping his face hard.

"What the hell Harley?"

"I will never take you back Kendall…Never! Now get the hell out of my office before I call security to throw you out."

"You bitch! You should be happy that I would even offer to take your frugal ass back. Any woman would jump at the chance to have a man like me."

"Then go and find one of those women Kendall, No, better yet go and find that Man I saw you screwing in your office that day because I don't want you anymore, I don't need you anymore and I definitely don't love you anymore!"

"I'm not gay, Harley I just got caught up in a moment of weakness."

"Yeah if that's what you need to think to make yourself feel better about it then that's fine, but honestly Kendall you really should stop lying to yourself and face the truth."

"You want the truth Harley, fine here is the truth. The truth is that every time I touched your naked body my skin crawled because all I could think about it the disgusting flesh that hung from your body. You were just some fat loser who happened to be a good fuck and if your mother hadn't paid me to stay with you…"

"Wait, what are you talking about my mother paid you to stay with me?" Harley asked confused.

"We had been dating a little over a year when one day your mom stopped by, it was when you were on that business trip with the firm," Kendall added when he saw the total look of perplexity on Harley's face. "She saw that I was packing and asked me what you had done to ruin things between us. I told her that I was simply tired of you and she in turn whipped out her checkbook and offered me an obscene amount of money to stay with you."

Tears burned Harley's eyes as they poured from her tear ducts. She couldn't believe that her mother would go to such extremes. "You are a monster!" Harley said turning away from Kendall.

"You're mother is the monster, babe, not me." Kendall said flatly.

"You are just as bad as she is, you accepted the money you bastard! Why didn't you just leave?"

"Simple, the money." Kendall shrugged.

"You Pig!" Harley yelled as she grabbed the paper weight off of her desk and threw it at Kendall's head. "Get the hell out of my office and stay the hell out of my Life!" Harley yelled as she then grabbed the stapler and threw that as well.

"You are a crazy Harley." Kendall said ducking from the object being hurled at his head and then running for the door. He turned around before leaving Harley's office. "You never told anyone about what you saw that day, did you?" Kendall asked worriedly.

"Luckily for you I couldn't dare tell anyone that I had been played like that so your little secret is safe, but if I ever see your face again I will scream it from the rooftops, got it?" Harley asked.

"Yeah I got it." Kendall said before slinking away like a scolded dog.


By the time Harley got home she was beat and all she wanted to do was shower and then crawl into bed and forget all the horror that was her day. She had just stepped out of the shower when she heard the front door close. She knew it was Mark and an instant smile covered her face. She slipped into a big oversized tee and a pair of boxers before making her way into the living room where she found Mark sipping on a beer.

"Hi." Harley said sullenly as she sat on the couch opposite Mark.

"Why the long face Darlin'?" Mark asked flipping off the television to give Harley his undivided attention.

"I had the worst day today." Harley said, tears already swelling in her green eyes as she thought back to her run-in with Kendall.

"Want to talk about it?"

"My ex, Kendall Drew, came by my office today."

"Why, what did he want?" Mark asked curiously…angrily.

"He came to tell me that he wanted me back."

"And you didn't jump at the chance?"

"I would never go back, not after what he did to me."

"Did he hit you?" Mark's blood was already starting to boil at just the thought of him hitting her.

"No, nothing like that." Harley said shaking her head.

"Then what?" Mark asked pulling the remainder of his six pack out of the fridge.

"It's a long story."

"Well I got the time and the beer." Mark said walking back to the couch.

Harley sighed but decided that Mark wouldn't think any less of her for Kendall's mistakes so she decided to tell him the whole awful story.

"So you caught him having sex with another man, in his office?" Mark asked with a disgusted frown.

"Yeah I did, I don't know if I was more disgusted or distraught but I remember going home and grabbing a baseball bat and destroying the house and then I just packed up and left. I haven't seen him since that day until he showed up at my office today."

"I'm sorry." Mark said.

"That's not even the worst part," Harley started.

"There is something worse than what you have already told me?"

"I found out today that Kendall was going to leave me after our first year together, but my mother paid him to stay with me, I guess she felt that it was the only way for someone like me to keep a man, " Harley said dropping her head in her hands as she began to sob uncontrollably.

Mark gently picked Harley up from the couch and sat her shaking body on his lap and slowly caressed her back.

"That man must be a damn fool to ever mess around on you and your mother should learn to mind her own business." Mark said sincerely.

"You're just saying that to be nice." Harley said as her sobbing ceased.

"I'm saying it because it's true, Harley, you are a beautiful woman and any man would be lucky to have you love them." Mark said cupping Harley's face making her look him in the eye.

"You really think I'm beautiful?"

"Darlin' you are absolutely gorgeous." Mark said as he leaned forward capturing her lips and kissed her breathless.

"I want you." Mark breathed after finally breaking the kiss.

Harley, to breathless to speak, simply nodded her head. Mark picked her up without another word and carried her to his bed.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Harley asked once they were in Mark's bedroom.

"Yes, but only if it's what you want to," Mark said watching Harley's face for any apprehension, when there was none Mark continued his assault on Harley's warm mouth.

"Mark I'm not on any birth control," Harley said between intoxicating kisses.

"I have condoms," Mark said not bothering to stop.

"Good," Harley said as she undid Mark's pants, sliding them slowly down his body releasing the bulging erection. "Have mercy," Harley said wide eyed at the sight of Mark's penis.

Mark smiled and kissed her again before leaning over to the nightstand and grabbing a condom.

"Foreplay is nice but if I have to be inside you now," Mark said rolling on the condom. He ripped the boxers off of Harley and spread her legs wide before sliding his hard cock deep inside Harley's tight hot heat.

Harley moaned at the feel of Mark inside her.

"Ohmygod, so fucking tight," Mark hissed as he began to move a little faster.

"Mmmm Mark yes, more!" Harley begged as she felt her orgasm building. It had been a long time since Harley had had sex and it was the first time that Harley found herself enjoying it so much.

"You want to come baby?" Mark asked pounding harder and harder.

"Yes, Mark I want to come." Harley panted as she wrapped her legs possessively around Mark's waist.

"Then come foe me Harley," Mark said he leaned down covering Harley's mouth with his just as her orgasm exploded inside her.

"That's is girl come hard for me," Mark coxed her as she rode the wave of pleasure over and over again.

Within minutes Mark was experiencing his own mind blowing orgasm.

"Fuck, Harley…Fuck!"

Mark collapsed on top of Harley but quickly composed himself and rolled off of her. He got out of bed and disposed of the condom.

Harley got up to go to her room and Mark frowned.

"Where do you think you're going?" Mark asked before she could reach the door.

"To the guest bedroom, I mean I know this was just pity sex, so I didn't think you would want me hanging around now that it's over." Harley shrugged.

"Are you crazy woman? Did you not hear a word I said to you before? What we just did was definitely not pity sex." Mark said slightly frustrated with the woman that had just given him so much pleasure.

"It wasn't?"

"Nope and I'm not done with you yet." Mark winked as he started chasing Harley around the room. He caught her and threw her on the bed before grabbing another condom out of the nightstand. "Now how about that foreplay?" Mark asked with a raised eyebrow causing Harley to giggle.


Harley woke up to Mark's faint snoring and smiled. She couldn't believe that she had spent the majority of the night having sex with Mark. It was just supposed to be a business deal, no real feeling involved but she knew after that first kiss that she was head over heels in love with the man sleeping so peacefully beside her. She glanced at the clock. It was only seven-thirty, so that meant she had only slept about three hours, but Harley knew that she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep if she wanted to.

Harley scooted out of bed and pulled her t-shirt from the night before over her head and laughed when she picked up the boxers that she had worn, Mark had literally ripped them in two. "The man really is a beast in bed," Harley giggled as she balled up the torn fabric and tossed them in the waste basket.

Harley walked across the hall to the guest bedroom and grabbed some lounge pants and a tank to throw on after her shower when she realized she had a missed call on her cell. She punched in her pass code and waited for the message to play.

Harley dropped her phone and ran back across the hall in a panic.

"Mark, Mark wake up!" Harley said frantically shaking Mark.

Mark opened one eye and glared at Harley, "Woman if you know what's good for you, you will leave me the hell alone," Mark said closing his eyes again.

"Mark you have to get up we have to get everything in order."

"What are you talking about woman?"

"With everything that happened with Kendall yesterday I completely forgot, but Mark my mother will be here in about three hours."

Mark sat up then and stared at Harley, "Three hours? You're kidding me right?"

"Oh how I wish I was I meant to tell you last night but then one thing lead to another…"

"Three hours," Mark muttered again.

"Yes, Mark, three hours get with the program. We have a lot of work to do before we have to pick her up at the airport."

"We?!?" Mark asked stunned.

"Yes she made it very clear that she wants both of us there."

"What about the house, your things are still across the hall and this place doesn't really have a woman's feel to it." Mark said.

"I know but I have an idea," Harley said standing and going over to the nightstand. "First we have to get rid of these," Harley said grabbing Mark's condoms. "My mother thinks I am trying to have a baby so these are a big 'no, no'," Harley said.

"How will she even know that I have them unless…"

"Exactly, my mother will snoop and not give a damn if you catch her doing it so they have to go; I can't chance her finding them. Do you have and female's numbers anywhere? I know I have no right to ask really but again my mother will snoop and if there is anything to be found she will find it. I'm sorry I know it's a big invasion of privacy but it really is necessary."

"No numbers," Mark said almost in a daze.

"Good," Harley said with a sigh of relief. "Next we call Laurel and Shawn and have them come over and put all of my things in here and I will ask Laurel to put her feminine touches on the place, if that's okay with you of course."

"Harley, come sit with me," Mark said as he watched Harley pace the floor.

When Harley sat down he took her hand in his, "Darlin' you have to calm down before you have yourself a aneurism everything will be fine I promise," Mark said with a reassuring smile.

"You can say that because you haven't met my mother, good lord I don't even have a wedding ring! This isn't going to work, Havilland is going to see right through this and then I will really be the laughing stock in the Cooper family," Harley said near tears.

"Wipe those tears away Darlin' your mother will be none the wiser once she gets here and see's how perfect we are together and as for the rings…," Mark said as he picked up his jeans from the night before and pulled out the ring box, "I got that covered."

Mark took the rings out and slid them onto Harley fingers.

"Mark they are beautiful, but how…"

"Laurel helped me pick them out, I would have gave them to you last night but one thing lead to another," Mark said with a wink, "Now go shower and then we will call Laurel and Shawn."

"Thank you Mark, thank you," Harley said kissing Mark lightly on the lips before taking off to shower.
