"Mark Calaway, I am not a child, I come and go as I please, you can just take you attitude and shove it!" Josie shouted.
Mark for once in life backed down, he realized his mistake immediately, Josie already had reservations about him, about relationships period, and he had just pushed her in a corner. His first thought had been to grab her and bust her tail, then kiss her senseless, but he suppressed it, he had a feeling he had just screwed up everything and his inability to do what was first nature to him, just pissed him off more.
"Fine Josie, sorry for giving a shit." With that he turned around and stalked out of her office.
Josie was dazed, what the hell had just happened, she sank down on the couch and shook her head.
She would have called Mark, if she knew he was waiting on her, she had no clue, she wouldn't worry the man on purpose, Mark had been nothing but sweet to her and she liked him very much.
How was she supposed to know that he was at the house waiting on her, her phone had been on charge in the outer office, so if he had called, she had missed it.
If she had been in the same situation, she knew she would have been worried about him too, she understood that, she also understood, he had been upset, but he had just turned and left, that she hadn't expected, Josie had expected him to grab her and shake some sense in her, she almost smiled at the thought, Mark had made no secret he had a bossy ass personality, he was very dominant, in the bedroom especially, but the way he just stormed in and told her what to do had pissed her off.
Josie sniffed back a few tears, then he just left, she knew she had lost her temper, but it hurt her feelings he had just taken off and not stayed to work things out, she liked him a lot more than she had been willing to admit to herself, now she had chased him off.
Josie went in her office and closed the laptop and gathered her stuff together. She locked up her office and made her way out to her car, she looked up surprised to find Mark standing beside his truck. "What are you doing here?"
Mark sighed, he could tell she had been crying. "I might be pissed, but I ain't letting you walk out here this late by yourself, I'll follow you home, make sure you get home alright."
Josie looked at the big man standing there with his arms crossed, she realized he was a certain kind of man, in his mind, he had a obligation to take care of her whether he was mad or not, he was old fashioned, for some reason instead of making her feel threatened , right now it made her feel pretty damn good, she was happy he hadn't just stormed off mad and left her here.
Mark pushed off his truck and took the handful of stuff she had, so she could open her car, when she had the door opened, he handed the stuff back to her and closed the door after she had stowed the stuff and got in the car.
Josie watched the big man climb in his truck and start the motor waiting for her to pull out.
Josie sighed, why did this have to be so hard, why couldn't they just have sex and leave emotions out of it.
Josie pulled in her driveway and parked the car, she could see Mark was behind her, but he hadn't shut his motor off. Josie was miserable, her and Mark had never really fought, and it made a sick knot in her stomach, she hated this helpless feeling in her, she would do anything to make this go away and her and Mark to be like they aways were together.
The feeling scared her, she was truly becoming dependent on this man, it was a scary notion for someone like her.
She slowly got out of the car and walked back to his truck, his window was down, she noted, he still didn't look thrilled and the sick feeling in her stomach increased, she wondered what the heck was wrong with her, no one had ever made her feel like this. "I'm sorry I yelled at you." She said looking down at her feet and she was, she might have had a reason, but she should have stayed calm and not yelled at him like some nut, even if he did yell first.
Mark sighed and cut the engine and got out of the truck, he pulled her in his big arms. " I'm sorry I yelled too Josie,I was worried sick, I imagined all kinds of horrible things, maybe I don't have the right to tell you anything, but I never felt so scared in my life." He admitted.
His admission scared her, hell maybe it scared him too, but it also made her feel good, Mark made her feel safe, she burrowed in his arms. "From now on I will call if I work late."
Mark smiled, big step for her letting him have any say, he knew that. "I would appreciate it darlin' you took a couple years off my life tonight."
Josie felt so cared for in the circle of his arms, and she wasn't going to over analyze tonight. "Can you stay?"
Mark bent to brush a kiss on her lips. "Yeah."
Mark let her go and locked his truck up and helped her grab her stuff from the car, he was just glad she wasn't mad no more, Mark knew he had wimped out so to speak, but they had worked it out, thats all that counted, he got his point across, backing off hadn't killed him, yeah he didn't like backing down when he knew he was right, but with Josie he might have to occasionally, if thats what it took to win her, he would do it.
Mark lay beside Josie in the bed, she was still tossing and turning. "You have to get up early, better get to sleep."
Josie sighed and flipped to her back, Mark was watching TV and Tom was curled up in his basket, the TV wasn't bothering her. They had had a quick dinner and Mark had made sweet love to her, then he had herded her off to bed. She should be sleeping like a baby, but she wasn't and wasn't sure why.
Mark looked down at her. "TV bothering you?"
Josie shook her head. "No."
Mark pulled her over in his lap and cuddled her. Josie grinned and laid her head on his chest tracing the tattoos on his arms. Josie liked this, loved laying on Mark, cuddling with him, she had never had this with anyone, this part wasn't about sex, she just like being close to him, having him hold her.
Mark held her wrapped in his arms, he had never wanted to be close to someone like this before, he loved just holding her, stroking her, he felt like he could stay like this forever and be happy.
Mark smiled as he watched her drift off to sleep, she needed him, he knew that, maybe she knew it too, but it would be a while before she would fully accept it, in the mean time he would be patient, he knew she would come around as long as her whacked out mother didn't interfere.
Saturday morning, Josie's alarm sounded and she stretched and rolled over turning it off. Mark hadn't stayed here last night, but she had a fantasy to fulfill so she had to get up early.
She grinned, Mark was so funny sometimes, his fantasy typical male.
She took a shower and got dressed, she gathered up the stuff she needed and collected Tom and his stuff, cause she was spending the weekend with Mark.
Josie hummed as she loaded everything in the car and Tom settled on the passenger seat and curled up. "Tom you ready for your first sleepover?" She asked grinning.
The kitten just closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Josie laughed, it was going to be a wonderful day.
Josie walked in Mark's house it was early and she knew he was still asleep, she fed Tom and started on breakfast, she went all out fixing home made waffles, a omelet, fresh fruit, she even made from scratch biscuits and added fresh jam to the load tray and headed upstairs. She set the tray down and went back downstairs to get the carafe of fresh coffee.
She got back to Mark's room and shed her clothes grinning, he was just too cute. Josie bent over him pressing a kiss to his lips, giggling at the tickle of his mustache.
Mark opened his eyes sleepily and smiled. "I must be dreaming waking up to a angel, a naked angel no less."
Josie's heart thrummed in her chest, the man did crazy things to her. "Sit up."
She brought the tray and sat it across his lap and poured him coffee and brought it to him, Mark just grinned, breakfast in bed, served by his naked girlfriend, life didn't get much better.
Josie crawled on the other side of the bed and picked up a piece of fruit holding it to his lips. Mark took a bite, and licked the juice from her fingers. "You gonna feed me too?"
Josie winked at him. "I aim to please."
Mark chuckled. "Well you're sure doing that." he reached out a hand to caress her breast as she gave him a forkful of omelet, Josie caught her breath and Mark watched her with passion filled eyes, she continued to feed him, while his hands stayed busy caressing her till she was hot as a firecracker.
Mark took sips of coffee I between bites of food, Mark made sure to feed her too, he didn't want her getting hungry.
Mark lifted the tray to the table beside the bed, and Josie grinned when she seen that the sheet covering him, it was like a tent pole, she giggled. "Gee whats that?" She asked pointing at it.
"Well why don't you come over here and see?" He said giving her a evil grin.
"I don't know, it looks kinda big." She said backing away, Mark grabbed her and she squealed as he dragged her over. "You're not getting away, you done got him all worked up, now ya have to pay."
Josie fell into a giggling fit and he buried his face in her neck, tickling her with his beard and mustache.
Mark pulled back and lifted her. "Now your going to get it." He lowered her on his rock hard shaft and Josie grabbed his shoulder moaning as he eased into her slowly, inch by inch. "Marrrrrrk."
Mark gripped her waist and pushed into her wet heat."Damn girl you feel good."
When he was fully sheathed, her stopped and he kissed her. "Now feed me." He said a twinkle in his eye.
Josie looked at him like he was crazy, he was in her to the hilt and she wanted to come so bad, she thought she would die, and he wanted to eat?
Mark grinned at the look on her face, He handed her the bowl of fruit. "Feed me."
Josie moaned as he thrust upward, it felt so good, but she needed more. She picked up a piece of melon and held it to his lips, and watched as he sucked it in his mouth along with her fingers.
Josie groaned as he sucked on her fingers and moved in her, she finally pulled her fingers free and Mark picked up a grape and slid it in her mouth, Josie closed her mouth around his finger sucking hard. "Josie girl, you're making me crazy."
Josie grabbed his shoulder and started to move up and down on his shaft, groaning as Mark bent kissed her breast."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
Mark smiled and took her nipple in his mouth suckling hard as she moved faster and faster, up and down on his erection. Mark's big hands caressed her hips as she rode him, he lifted his head to watch her, her head was thrown back and her long hair hung down her back. "Come for me Josie." He said
His words, the feel of his hands on her sent her over the edge screaming his name. Mark held tight to her as she trembled in his arms, he pulled her against his chest and cradled her close as she moaned his name, God he loved her, he wanted to tell her, but he knew it was too soon. Now was not the right time.
When her breathing calmed , he lifted her chin and kissed her gently. "Get on your back, and spread those sweet thighs for me." He breathed against her lips.
Josie didn't really give a damn if he was giving order, or telling her what to do, it was amazing what good sex was doing for her ideas about feminism, at least in the bedroom. She rolled over so fast, Mark laughed, he practically fell on top of her and teased her wet heat, sliding in slowly, Josie gripped his arms, and thrust her hips up to meet him. "What a good girl, I'll have to make sure you come real good." He rumbled.
Josie smiled up at him, and lifted her legs around his waist. "Make me come Mark." She demanded.
Mark bent and kissed her, thrusting his tongue in her mouth, he pulled out of her body and thrust back hard.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh." She moaned as his lips moved down her neck.
"Yeah darlin, let me know when you're comin, I want to hear ya screamin my name, real loud."
Josie held on tight, as Mark thrust into her, over and over, she looked up and their eyes locked, this man had a spell on her, and she didn't ever want to think of being with another man, no one could do this to her.
Mark wacthed as she started to tremble and threw his head back crying out her name, his climax was powerful and he grunted and thrust hard and emptied his seed deep in her belly, he heard of cries of release, and kept moving in her to prolong her pleasure, finally he collapsed and buried his face in her sweet smelling hair, he breathed in her sweet scent, knowing he would always remember it, it was imprinted on his brain.
He felt her hands stroking his long hair and he rolled to his side and bent to kiss her again. Josie kissed him back then looked up at him. "Was it like you wanted?" She asked looking a little worried.
Mark gathered her in his arms, against his chest. "Josie, the only fantasy I ever need from you, is just you being with me, okay, it was exactly what I wanted."
Josie snuggled against his chest and Mark stroked her back. He had to win her, he just had to , he was head over hills for this girl, he wouldn't , couldn't fuck this up.
Josie spent the rest of the weekends at Mark's house, while she would have been content just to stay in bed with him, Mark insisted on taking her out, he took her to the zoo, the movies and out to dinner both nights she was there.
Josie must admit, he made her feel as if she was the only woman alive, he was always touching her, kissing her, by the time Monday morning rolled around she had no desire to leave his side.
But Mark knew, she needed some time away from him, he didn't want to smother her, he sent her off to work and bent to kiss her lips lightly as she sat in her car. "Do you mind if I stop by to see you Tuesday after you get off work?"
Josie smiled. "I would love that." She said honestly.
"Good I'll see you then." He said and backed up so she could pull out of the driveway.
He sighed, it was hard letting her go, but Josie was treading on new territory, he wanted her to be comfortable with where their relationship was going.
Now if he could just make it till Tuesday.
Josie hummed her way through the day and the three parties she had, he mind on Mark and the wonderful weekend they had spent together.
She only realized at the end of the day, that she wouldn't be seeing Mark tonight, he had sent her on her way, she wondered if he was tired of her, but she shook her head, that couldn't be it, he wanted to stop at her house and see her tomorrow. "Get a grip Josie, you can go one day without the man." She chastised herself, she needed time away from him, she was becoming to dependent on him.
Josie got home and fed Tom, and fixed her a salad, she sat down to eat when her phone rang. "Hello."
"Sis, I decided I cant tell Margery, I want you to tell her."
"No way Ana, don't put me in front of the firing squad, you need to stand up to her." Josie said sitting her fork down.
Ana sighed. "Well it was worth a shot, she's coming early, cause she has a book tour or something, she'll be here in a week."
"Well if you want I could fly down and be there with you." Josie said worried about Ana getting upset.
"Thats sweet sis, but you're right I need to do this, besides Ben will be there." Ana said.
For the first time, Josie could understand the way Ana talked about Ben, like he could solve anything for her, she felt the same way about Mark, like she could face anything as long as he was around. "I know, he isn't going to let he upset you."
Ana smiled, Josie had a whole different attitude since she was seeing Mark. "So how are you and Mr. Wrestler doing?"
Josie smiled. "Great, he's a prince really, I want you to meet him." Josie said
Ana was shocked this was more serious than she realized, Josie never wanted her to meet her other two boyfriends. "I would love too, I might take a flight down in a couple of weeks after things with Margery quites down."
"Great, I cant wait, I miss you." Josie said.
"I miss you too sis, I'll talk to you soon."
Josie hung up, she was worried about Ana, she hoped her mother didn't go off the deep end too bad, cause Josie would end up being her next target, if Ana didn't do things to her liking, then she would start trying to fix Josie, and that the last thing she needed right now.
