Josie sat in the steaming bathwater and sighed and sank back, she did feel better, but she had no idea, when Mark had said he was going to take her home for a hot bath, he meant his home, but her wimpy butt didn't make one whimper of protest, she was starting to worry about her own mental health, a man like Mark was not for her, they just didn't fit, and besides next weekend he would be romancing Michelle, she wished she could push such thoughts from her mind.

She jumped at the knock on the door. "I'm coming in." She heard his deep voice rumble.

Josie squealed and sank deeper under the bubbles. "Close your eyes!" She shouted.

Mark came in with his one big hand covering his eyes. "Dammit woman, you don't have nothing I ain't seen before." He grumbled.

"Well you haven't seen mine." She said sinking deeper in the water.

Mark laid one of his shirts on the sink. "I got your clothes in the washer, I'll put them in the dryer when there done."

"Okay, thanks Mark." She said smiling, he was being very sweet to her.

"You're welcome darlin, I have dinner started, I know you're starving, ,so am I." He said and turned around. "Oh by the way, you look real cute sitting there covered in nothin' but bubbles."

Josie grabbed her towel and tossed at his head. "You butt head, you peeked."

Mark just chuckled and shut the door behind him. Josie sat back and grinned, he was a mess, but oddly enough that endeared him even more to her.


Mark set the table and pulled the pork chops from the oven. His mind tumbled as he set about getting dinner on the table, he knew he was attracted to Josie, but he also knew he really liked her, he liked spending time with her, he didn't want to use her, she was to special for that, besides when he married Michelle, he knew he wouldn't just be able to hang with Josie as he did now, especially if he was still tempted to be with her.

Mark knew eventually he would have to stop seeing her, he didn't like it, but when he got married his marriage had to come first, he had been through two divorces already and he was determined it wouldn't happen gain, this time it was going to be for good.

After dinner, Josie helped Mark wash up the dishes. "Are my clothes dry yet?" She asked as she dried the dishes and put them away.

"Shit, I forgot to put them in the dryer, go find something to watch on TV, it wont take long." he said and left the room.

Josie went in the den and grabbed the remote and flipped on the TV, she lay down and yawned, she was so sleepy from getting up so early. Mark walked in and sat down beside her, lifting her head and laying it back on his thigh, his big hand rubbed her head and she practically started purring. "Tired honey?"

She nodded but couldn't speak, Mark's way of turning every sentence into a endearment was making her melt, she wanted the man bad, and fact was her panties were in the dryer, she really needed to get away from him.

Mark watched as she shifted restlessly. "You okay."

She sat up suddenly and looked at him. "You know, with you leaving next weekend, maybe we could practice, you know kissing and stuff."

Mark watch as a blush rushed up her neck and spread over her face, Gosh she was cute, sitting this close he focused on the cute freckles sprinkled liberally over her nose. "What kind of practice, ya have in mind darlin?" He knew better, he should be in control here, but the thought of sharing a few kisses with her was tempting, to tempting to pass up on.

Josie figured if she had to talk she would lose her nerve, so she hopped on his lap, straddling his big legs with her thighs, and planted a hot kiss on his startled lips. Mark was shocked, but that soon gave way to pleasure and she grabbed the back of his head, pulling him closer, her lips parting so she could use her tongue to press against his lips.

Mark groaned and parted his lips and his arms gripped her hips even as their tongues met and mated, Josie couldn't get enough of his taste, his smell, she wanted to get closer, her hips ground against his, and Mark moaned as she rubbed against his already straining shaft.

Mark knew he should stop, but he had no intention of stopping anything, Mark moved his hand between her legs quickly finding her wet heat and sinking two fingers in her. "Ohhhhhhh." She moaned pulling her lips from his and burying her face in his neck and he moved his finger in her deeper. "Feel good Josie?"He whispered against her hair.

She responded by moving up and down over his big fingers.

Mark groaned this girl was smoking, this was not going to be average sex. "Hot for me baby, you're so wet, ya feel so good." He said as he worked his fingers in and out of her wet passage.

Josie opened her eyes and pulled back to look at him. "You're a talker." She said smiling.

Mark grinned as he twisted his fingers in her causing her to gasp. "Yeah, I'm very verbal, that bother you?"

Josie grabbed his big shoulders to steady herself. "Not at all, I just never been with a talker before, I kinda like it." She said and latched on to his lips again.

Mark didn't even like the thought of another man touching her, he sank another finger deep in her heat.

Josie yelped and ground her hips down and surprised them both by having a mind blowing climax, Josie pulled away from his kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck her face buried there as she moaned his name repeatably as her hips rode out the mind blowing orgasm.

"Damn girl, you're hot as fuck." He stood hoisting her in his arms, his fingers slipping free of her, and carried up up the stairs two at a time. Josie kissed his neck and rubbed herself against him, still needing more.

Mark groaned with need, hell he was about to come in his pants, he rushed through his bedroom door and dropped her on the bed, she propped on her elbows and watched the big man undress, when he was naked, she sat up and shrugged off her shirt and scooted to the edge of the bed. Mark watched her, she was sexy as hell, without even trying. "Come here, I want to taste you."

Mark thought he would die right there, she may be shy about talking about sex with him, but doing it was different. She grasped his shaft in her hand and urged him forward. Mark closed his eyes and thought about anything other than what was happening, otherwise he might spill himself in her hand. He felt her warm hand glide over him and he groaned. "Its so big." He heard her breathy little whisper.

Mark opened his eyes just in time to see her slide his shaft between those sweet lips. "Josie." he moaned surging forward, needing more.

Josie took him in her mouth swirling her tongue around the hard flesh, she moaned as he did, she loved this, loved making him crazy, she smiled when his fingers tangled in her hair and he pumped deeper in her mouth.

Mark had to watch, he looked down and swallowed hard at the pleasure she was giving him, she loved it, he realized, loved giving him pleasure as much as he was enjoying getting it.

He moved slowly in and out of her sweet warm mouth, watching her get more and more excited. "Like that baby, like me sliding in that hot little mouth." He said tugging a little tighter on her hair.

She just moaned around him, and Mark smiled and pulled his shaft from her, he pushed her back on the bed, and used his hands to spread her legs.

He bent to grab a condom from the wallet in his jeans and when he got it own and looked up, he about died, she was running her finger over her swollen flesh pleasuring herself. Mark had been around the block more than a few times, but he could not ever remember being with a woman like her.

So hot and willing, he knew without a doubt , he was about to have the best organism of his life. She looked at him with heavy eyes, that were full of passion. "Hurry."

That one word spurred him on, he practically fell on her, his hands sliding beneath her butt and lifting her to meet his shaft, he entered her in one sharp thrust, and buried himself deep in her heat.

Josie screamed and grabbed his arms. "Baby, damn." He couldn't believe how good she felt, her heat surrounding him. "Mark...now." She begged thrusting her hips trying to get some relief.

Mark bent to taste her lips briefly and then ran his tongue down her neck, to her breast and bit her lightly, causing her to groan. Mark pulled out and thrust back and groaned himself. "Damn baby, you're so wet." He breathed in her ear.

Mark moved his lips from her ear back to her lips, his tongue sliding in her parted lips, then he pulled all the way out and thrust hard, burying himself deep in her willing body.

He swallowed her whimpers and groans as he started thrusting in a timeless rhythm . Mark kept his lips to hers, thinking he could never get enough of her sweet mouth and body, Josie wrapped her legs around him and her arm slid over his chest her nails scrapping at his nipples causing him to shiver with desire. He thrust harder and his tongue thrust in her mouth over and over, just as his body thrust deep in her with each surge of his hips.

Josie was lost, she liked sex well enough, like having orgasms, had gave herself plenty, but this was different, she wasn't in control, Mark was setting the pace, driving in her like a mad man. "Markkk." She moaned.

Mark kissed her and then let his lips and tongue run down to her breasts, he bit down on one nipple, enough send s surge of liquid heat between her legs, he watched her fall apart in his arms, Mark growled and lifted one of her legs higher around his waist and thrust forward hard. "Ohhhh Goddddddddd." She yelled as she felt the pleasure spread out over her body.

The feel of her wet heat pulsing around his shaft did him in, he growled and thrust hard one one time, before his release sent him over the edge with her, calling her name.

It was long minutes before Josie became aware of her surroundings again, and the fact that Mark was still in her and his face was buried in her neck , both were breathing heavily.

Mark finally moved, he got up and went to the bathroom to clean up. Josie was fully back to her sensible self, she realized what a mistake she had made, she had slept with another woman's man, broke one of her most sacred rules, she did not go after taken men, committed men, it was a horrible thing to do. Josie turned on her side, tears leaking from her eyes, what had she done.

Mark walked back to the bed pretty confused himself, he didn't cheat on women, even though him and Michelle hadn't been together in a while and Michelle gave him every indication, she didn't want to continue a relationship, he had not officially broke up with her, in fact wanted to marry her, start a family, he was ashamed at his lack of self control. He sat down on the bed and looked at Josie, he didn't want to hurt her, he liked her.

Thats when he noticed her shoulder shaking. Mark sighed and rolled her toward him. "Don't cry darlin', its okay." He said dragging her in his arms kissing her tears away. "I'm a slut." She said between sobs.

Mark rubbed her back. "Nonsense, it was bound to happen, girl, we been talking about sex all this time, two healthy people, with sex drives, things just got out of hand, that don't make you a slut, you're a beautiful, sweet woman."

Her tears slowed and she looked up to find his intense gaze on her. "I'm sorry, its my fault, not yours." she knew she had practically attacked the man, hell he was a normal guy, he had given in to his urges, if she hadn't started it, it would have never happened.

Mark shook her a little, he wasn't going to have her taking the blame for this. "Josie, listen to me, we're both adults, we were both into it up to our eyeballs, and I don't regret it , neither should you, it just happened, we just cant let it happen again."

Josie nodded in full agreement, Mark made her lose herself in him, she could not let this happen again, Mark was dangerous, she could forget everything she believed to follow him around like a puppy, no she didn't need a man, who could control her if he wanted to.

Josie nodded and moved out of his arms, she pulled his shirt off the bed and slid it on. "I'm going to get my clothes and get dressed and go home."

Mark wanted to stop her, but he knew she was right, the passion was still to close to the surface, they needed to get away from each other, he knew he had to stay away from her now, the attraction was too strong, it was bad for her, bad for him, Josie was not for him, her views about relationships to different from his. "Okay, do you want me to go get your clothes?"

She shook her head and walked to the door, she stopped with her hand on the doorknob. "Goodbye Mark.
Mark heard a finality to her words that he hated, but she was far wiser than him, she knew they couldnt be friends or anything else. "Bye Josie."

He watched her leave and a few minutes later heard the front door shut and lay back on the bed with a long sigh, the sex had been out of this world, but sex wasn't everything, he assumed his technique was fine, she had seemed to be pleased with his performance.

He had one slip up, he would put it out of his mind and concentrate on Michelle, she was his future.


Josie got home and took a shower thinking to wash away any evidence of her evening with Mark, but it did no good, the events kept playing in her mind, she had never experienced any thing that that in her life, the sex had been explosive, but it was just sex she reminded herself, in the scheme of things, it didn't mean anything.

However as she flopped back on her bed alone, she knew it was more than sex and that scared her, she had never let her heart get entangled with anyone, she always held back, her parents hadn't exactly fostered warm and fuzzy feelings about relationships, even though they seemed to get along fine, they hadn't been exactly nurturing parents, Josie was wondering around blindly when it came to normal relationships, she was lost as to what to do with emotions and feelings, she didn't trust them.

No she told herself, Mark was dangerous to her, she was way better off without him, being with him had scared her, she lost herself in him, and that really scared her, she would let the man control her, she lost her self control around him, and that had never happened to her before, a man like Mark wasn't for her, she didn't want to give her control up to anyone, not Mark not any man.

Josie felt she was being very sensible and smart, but that still didn't change the fact that the thought of never seeing Mark again, made her want to bawl like a baby, she closed her eyes, she just needed to forget him, it would get better, in a few weeks she would hardly even remember him.


Mark walked around all week trying to keep his mind off Josie, mostly he was worried about her, he didn't like her blaming herself for everything, the thought that she would lay all this on her own shoulders bothered him, but he didn't call her, he knew it was better to leave this be and to let things go between the, it saddened him, but he had few options.


Josie walked around in a fog all week, barely able to focus on work, all her thoughts were on Mark, and she hated herself for that, she lay her head on her desk, she just wanted to crawl in her bed and cry, she hated being weak, but she couldn't seem to control her emotions anymore. "You slept with him didn't you?"

She looked up to see Sammy standing in her office door. "Yeah, big dumb huge mistake, I'm such a skank, I mean he's in love with another woman."

Sammy sat down and looked at her friend, she was afraid it had finally happened, her friend was in love, and didn't realize, was running from it. "I would like to point out if he was in love with her, he probably wouldn't be having sex with you."

"Men do it all the time Sammy, I was just a one night stand, I mean I practically attacked him, it was my fault."

"Oh, so you held a gun to his head and forced him to have sex, I see." Sammy said rolling her eyes.

"Well no, but if I hadn't kissed him, it would never have happened." She said.

"Have you talked to him?" Sammy asked.

Josie shook her head. "I wont be seeing him again, we made a mistake, and he leaves today to go see Michelle, so its just better this way, better for both of us just to forget it ever happened."

Sammy just shook her head, poor Josie didn't realize that Mark was not going to be easy to forget, the girl was in love, she wondered how long Josie was going to be in denial or if she would ever wake up.
