Thank you for the awesome reviews!
"Okay, here put this in the DVD player." Josie said. Mark took the DVD and put it in. "So Is this the hot stuff?" he asked grinning at her. "No, just kissing, kissing is important you know, if a guy cant kiss, everything else just goes down hill." She said sitting back on the couch.
Mark sat down right next to her, she could feel his thigh rubbing hers. He used the remote to start the DVD and he sat silently watching as they demonstrated different kissing techniques.
Josie was getting hot, as she watched the couple demonstrate different kisses, she thought about Mark kissing her, God she was such a loser, she thought. After ten minutes of silence Mark turned to her. "Well I think I kiss okay already, can we watch the good stuff?"
Josie started laughing. "You're a pervert."
Mark nodded. "Yeah I am, I wont lie, I like sex, freaky sex, hell any kind of sex, yeah pervert sounds right."
Josie shook her head. "You thirsty." He asked getting up.
She nodded and followed him to the kitchen. Mark poured them both a glass of tea. "So you a expert on kissing?" He asked leaning on the counter.
Josie shook her head, sitting down on the barstool next to where he stood. "No, just a expert on what I like."
Mark turned suddenly. "Ya know maybe I should practice on you."
Before Josie could protest, Mark bent and his lips were pressed against hers, Josie was lost the second his lips touched her, his lips were firm and warm and they felt good, Josie leaned into the kiss and Mark brought both hands up to cup her face, he deepened the kiss, his tongue running across his lips, urging her to open, which she did right away.
Mark's tongue slid in the warm cavern of her mouth, teasing , exploring and Josie groaned, and pushed her tongue to tangle with his, the kiss was full of heat and Josie wraped her arms around his neck pulling him closer. Mark stroked her warm cheek and finally pulled back a little, he laid small kisses on her lips, and Josie surged forward, needing his touch so bad, the man didn't need lessons in anything, his girlfriend must be nuts. "So, how was I?"
He was so close to her she felt his breath move across her lips. Josie leaned forward and pressed her mouth to his again, teasing him with her tongue, Mark answered, meeting the teasing with his own, they spent the next few minutes playfully kissing each other, then Mark drew back and looked at her. "That good huh?"
Josie looked down embarrassed she had got so carried away. "You don't need any kind of lessons."
Mark grinned, maybe he had improved in this short time."C'mon I want to look at the other DVD's, I can get some tips on what to do in the bedroom, I will win her over for sure." He said heading to the den.
Josie shook her head, she had to keep reminding herself, he was in love with someone else, she was surprised he walked away from the kiss thinking about another woman, she couldn't think of anything but him right now.
The two had spent two hours watching the erotic DVD's. Josie shifted very uncomfortable, if Mark had touched her, she would have come in a moment, Mark was squirming a bit himself, although he did ask plenty of questions about good positions for the woman to enjoy herself, Josie managed to answer, she was proud she did as well as she did, cause all she could think about was him naked.
Finally they were done and she got up and put the DVD's up. "Well I should be going, I'll see you tomorrow."
Mark followed her out to her car and opened the door for her. "Are you upset, because I kissed you?"
Josie got in the car. "Of course not, we were just playing around, I know that." She said lightly.
Mark smiled and closed the door and leaned in the window. "I like you Josie, I wouldn't want to do anything to ruin our friendship."
Josie smiled, the problem was she really liked him too. "Its fine really."
"Whats next weeks lesson?" He asked. "That will be the last one before I take off to see Michelle."
"Romance, thats pretty important." She said starting her car.
Mark leaned a little closer and planted a kiss on her cheek. "See you tomorrow."
She nodded and he moved back and watched her back out of the driveway. The kiss had blew him away, but it was just lust, you couldn't build a future on lust, Michelle was his future. Mark had it set in his mind, thats what he wanted, Mark had never deviated from a plan in his life, he wouldn't start now.
"Wow just wow, I cant believe you used to do this for a living." Josie said. They were sitting on her couch, and She was laying on Mark's big arm. Josie watched as he lifted another man and slammed him down on his back. "Thats the Last Ride." He said grinning at the look on her face.
"Man this is kinda fun, I cant believe you're still in one piece." She said looking up at him.
Mark put his arm around her. "Me either sometimes." He joked.
Josie snuggled closer to him, they had spent a couple of hours playing basketball and she was surprised that she enjoyed it, although she didn't stand a chance.
Mark felt her long hair on his arm, it was soft and silky and he wanted to run his fingers through it. Josie's cell rang and she looked at the number, she was about to just turn it off when she seen who it was. "Do you mind, I have to take this." She said hopping up.
Mark shook his head and turned the sound down on the TV, so she could hear.
"Hey daddy, where are you?" She asked excited to hear from him.
"I'm still in Borneo, I had to come in for supplies, thought I would see if I could get a connection from here, you cant out in the jungle." He said.
"When are you coming home, I mean I'll fly out to see you, I know its been a while since you seen Margery, just let me know when its a good time." She said, she didn't want to intrude on his and Margery's time.
"Josie, I wont be home for another six months at least, Margery came down last month to see me, I do miss you." He said.
"But daddy, I was hoping you would get home for my birthday, I mean you been gone so long." Josie said. She knew he was busy, but it wasn't like she asked for a lot.
Mark watched with a frown, the girl was practically begging for her father's attention, what kind of parents were these. He felt bad for Josie.
"Honey, I wish I could, but I'm in the middle of a big project, when I do come home, I'll call you I promise, okay."
"Okay." She said her voice dejected.
Mark shook his head, poor kid, what was wrong with that man.
Josie hung up a minute later. Mark was determined to get her mind off her dad. "Hey I was thinking, we haven't ate, let me take you to dinner?"
Josie turned to look at Mark. "I don't know, I'm not really dressed for a night out." She said referring to her shorts and tank top, and he hair pulled in a messy ponytail. Mark jumped up. "You're perfect, c'mon" He said taking her hand.
Josie laughed as Mark handed her another hot dog. "Its perfect Mark, thanks."
He just grinned and he reached across the wooden table with a napkin and wiped mustard off her chin. "Messy girl." He teased.
Josie just grinned, Mark had taken her to the fair, he had taken her on a ton of rides, then he had got her dinner, the best tasting hot dog, she had ever ate.
The ate in silence while Josie watched kids running around, having a blast. They got done and Mark bought her some cotton candy and they walked around hand in hand while she took in the sites and sounds. "You feeling better." Mark asked looking down at her.
"Yeah thanks." She said.
Mark knew she had been upset by her father, but he didn't want to push her to talk about it, so he changed the subject. "So when is your birthday?"
"Next month, the thirteenth ,I'll be thirty, I guess I'm sliding down hill fast." She said joking.
Mark smiled. "You're still just a baby, thirty is still childhood."
Josie shrugged, she wondered if she had ever felt like a child, except in rare moments.
Mark looked down at her, Josie was a nice girl, he wondered if he was doing the right thing setting her up with Cena, but hell it was just one date, he would have a talk with John, let him know, Josie wasn't some skank, he didn't want John treating her like some one night stand.
"So how was this weekends lessons?" Sammy asked sitting down across from Josie.
"Yeah, we want all the details." Jenn said sitting down on the edge of her desk.
"Umm fine, really, nothing out of the ordinary." Josie said picking up her coffee to take a sip.
Jenn smirked. "What a liar, c'mon, the truth now."
"He kissed me, but he wasn't really kissing me, it was like he was practising on me." She said quickly.
Sammy shook her head. "Bullshit, so how was it?"
Josie couldn't help but grin. "It was WOW, I mean he kisses great, his girlfriend must be a idiot, he is not old and boring, he's exciting and sweet."
Sammy and Jenn looked at each other, she really liked this guy. "So, thats it, just one kiss?"
"He's not interested in me like that, its like the kiss didn't even affect him, in the next breath he was talking about winning over his girlfriend." Josie said sighing.
"Listen Jo, you got next weekend, make your move, once you sleep with him, he'll see you two have a spark, I bet he'll forget all about this supposed girlfriend."
Josie shook her head. "He set me up with one of his friends, in fact, he's picking me up after work today and we're going out for dinner."
Jenn and Sammy both frowned. "I don't know girl, maybe thats not a good idea, if you have feelings for Mark and all." Sammy said.
Josie set her coffee down. "Its just lust I'm feeling for Mark, thats it, been to long since I had sex, thats all it is, okay, stop worrying."
"Just be careful, I want to check this guy out, whens he coming by?" Jenn asked.
"Five, you guys don't scare him off now, its hard enough for me to get a date."
"We wont, get back to work, we got four partys tomorrow." Sammy said standing.
Josie had to go to the printers, to print out more brochures and stop at Joe's to pick up a order. "Okay I'll be back after while."
The two women watched their friend leave. "So do you think she's falling in love?"
Jenn shrugged. "All the signs is there, but what if he is really wrapped up in this supposed girlfriend, than what?"
"She'll be hurt, maybe she should just sleep with him and get it out of her system."
Jenn stood, she had a ton of work to do. "Something tells me, Mark Calaway, is not a man you get out of your system.
Sammy silently agreed, she just hoped Josie was careful, the last thing she needed was a broken heart.
Josie looked around the Pleasure Palace while Joe got her order together. She looked at the handcuffs and grinned, she could see handcuffing Mark and having her way with him, or maybe him handcuffing her. He mind spun at the possibilities as she looked at various toys, she was just needing sex, she knew thats what was wrong, it was a function, a need really, when one went too long without it, it had a ill effect on the body, maybe she just needed a wild night of sex to get her back in line and to stop obsessing about Mark.
Josie had her hands full of stuff when she went back to the check out, Joe came out with her order and looked at the stuff on the counter.
"Handcuffs, heating lotion, body paint?" He held up the barely there lingerie set. "Wild night planned?"
Josie shrugged and blushed. "Maybe."
Joe grinned and rang up her stuff. "So who's the lucky guy?"
"I'm not sure yet." She said as he bagged up her stuff.
Joe frowned. "Whats does that mean?" He asked worried she was going to do something foolish.
Josie smiled. "Get out of big brother mode, I'm a big girl, I know what I'm doing."
Joe just shook his head, he hoped so, Josie might act tough, but she was a emotional person, he didn't think she was the type that could have a one night stand and feel okay with it, she would regret it. "Just be careful."
Josie smiled. "I will, see you later."
Joe watched her leave, She was a nice girl, he sure didn't want to see her hurt, maybe he done the wrong thing when he gave the big man her business card.
Josie looked in the mirror, she had brought her clothes to work, a loose fitting pheasant skirt and a white formfitting tank, she bent down to put the sandals on , and then stood back up and brushed her long wavy hair, she decided to let it hang loose, she put in a pair of dangling turquoise earrings and matching bracelet and necklace.
She looked at her reflection, she looked pretty good, true she wasn't a super model, but she wasn't a dog, she knew she should get out of here, John would be here any minute, she had talked to him on the phone earlier, he had a nice voice.
"Girl get out of there, he's here and girl wait to you see him, serious hottie, his ass is fine as hell."
Josie opened the door, to find Sammy standing there looking flushed. "He is that hot?"
Sammy grinned and fanned her face. "Josie if I wasn't married, I would use that boy, he has the body of a Greek God."
Josie smiled, this would prove her theory , if she was just horny, any man would do, she was going to prove to herself there was nothing special between her and Mark, it was just lust.
She walked out to the lobby and stop, Good grief, Sammy was right, this man was hot as hell, plus the fact he was just downright cute, he gave her a dimpled grin. "Josie?"
Josie smiled and held out her hand. John took her hand in his, holding it for a moment. "I'm John, its nice to meet you."
"You too John." She said smiling up at him.
"You look gorgeous." He said. John thought she was pretty cute, but he wasn't interested in dating, one hardly said no to Mark though, and John wasn't ready for Mark to ask him a bunch of questions about why he didn't want to date, and one date wouldn't kill him.
Josie blushed. "Thank you."
"You about ready?" he asked.
Josie nodded and she looked at him, he was was sexy as hell, he had on jeans and a white t-shirt that strained against his huge biceps, if this man couldn't excite her,then she might as well give up.
Josie turned to say goodbye to Sammy. Call me." Sammy mouthed at her.
Josie nodded turned back to John, he just grinned and held the office door open for her.
Josie was sure no matter what it was going to be a interesting night.
