Lexie had gone by the time Mark had made his way over to where Zoey was sitting and that made him even more nervous. What were they talking about and did his name come up? Does Zoey know that he's still technically with Lexie? Does Lexie know what happened a couple of nights ago with Zoey? All these thoughts were swimming around in his head as a large lump had already formed at the back of his throat.

"Oh hey baby. I was wondering where you had got to." She greeted cheerfully.

Mark swallowed. "Well I'm here now." She seemed okay. She didn't look really pissed off. Maybe she was luring him in to a fault sense of security and she's about to blow his brains out with the machine gun within the next few minutes.

"Yeah. So you ready to go? Is everything okay?" she asked when Mark merely nodded.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Mark smiled weakly.

"Liar. Come on, you can tell me in the car on the way to your hotel." She said reaching out to take his hand.

As they walked out the hospital doors, Lexie looked on from a distance and smiled. It was only a matter of time.

"So what were you and Lexie talking about?" Mark asked once they were safely in the hotel room.

"Huh?"

"I saw you and Lexie talking before. Just wondering what you were talking about."

"Oh nothing much really. Just girl stuff."

"Really? Like what?"

Zoey didn't say anything for a moment. She was contemplating how to answer it. It was almost as if a light bulb went off above her head as an idea popped in to her head. "Oh she was just telling me about this guy she's been seeing."

"A guy she's seeing?" Mark's heart started to race.

"Yeah. It was really cute. She was like a schoolgirl again going on and on about how amazing he is. Actually it made me feel better about us being together knowing that she had moved on already. Although it was a bit fast but what can you do? Not my problem."

"Since when have you two been friends?"

"Well I felt really stupid about the way I reacted the other day and I wanted to apologise to her."

"What?!"

"Mark I completely overreacted, you know that as much as I do. I just wanted to make sure there was no confusion."

"And um, was there?"

"No not really. I said I was sorry for the way I reacted and she told me not to worry about it. I said I was just jealous and she said she would probably behave in the same way and then she went on about this new guy."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Mark breathed out and relaxed. This may just be okay. He just had to make sure they didn't spend any time alone together. He just couldn't cope if the two of them started to become friends. Friends tell each other everything down to the men they sleep with. They become friends and he can say goodbye to his balls because they would soon find out the truth and to be honest he was rather fond of his genitalia and would prefer to have them still attached. "Right." he said, clapping his hands together. "How would you like some food? You must be starving, I know I am. We can order room service so you don't have to worry about going out."

"Room service sounds great. Have you got a menu anywhere?"

Mark pointed to where it was. "Have whatever you want."

"What about price?"

"That is not an issue. I am here to spoil you."

"Oh how romantic … right here in your hotel room." She said sarcastically but laughed as she said it. "If you wanted to spoil me, we could have gone out."

"If you'd rather go out …" Mark started with concern in his face.

"Don't worry I'm joking."

Mark smiled. "Of course you are. Right, you know what you want?"

"Mmm hmm. That and that please."

"That all you want?"

"Not hungry."

Mark raised his eyebrows. "Now that's a first." He joked which caused a pillow to be thrown at his head, which he nicely dodged causing the pillow to hit a wall.

A couple of hours had passed and Mark was tidying the plates up from the room service. "Hey, Zo, you up to watching a film on pay-per-view?" Mark called through the bathroom door where Zoey was getting ready for bed.

"Yeah sure." She replied, emerging from the bathroom wearing nothing but a sexy black bra with red lace running through it and a matching thong, along with black stockings.

"Okay, flick through the channels until you find something you want." He said, flinging the remote control on the bed in front of her and returned to piling the dishes up. Zoey giggled to herself before making herself comfortable on the bed. She turned the television on and started to flick through the channels. She flicked passed the adult channel when she had an idea. "Mark, why don't you leave those outside the door."

"Why?" he asked, his back still to her.

"So the room service people won't have to knock on the door to pick them up."

"It won't make much difference will it?"

"Yes, it would mean that they can do their job quicker and go home to their families."

"Do you seriously care?"

"Yes."

"Alright I'll do it." he said, picking up the tray and putting it outside the door. He didn't understand why Zoey was so insistent on him doing so but he played along nonetheless. Once he was outside the room, he let the door close ajar, keeping his foot in the way to stop it from closing completely. As he sat the tray down on the floor, he heard moaning coming from inside the room.

Zoey saw Mark walk back in so she quickly turned the television off and lay propped up against the headboard and stretched her legs out crossing her right foot over her left. She put one arm flat on the bed and brought the other hand up to her cleavage.

"What are you watch-?" Mark began but got caught off guard at the sight before him. There she was, lying on his bed in a black thong, stroking her cleavage. He cursed silently to himself. Why did he promise Derek he wouldn't sleep with Zoey? He had told him everything that was going on with him and the love triangle that had appeared out of nowhere and Derek had made him promise he wouldn't continue to sleep with either of them until he knew who he wanted and had officially broke it off with the other. Just looking at the sexy form in front of him made him wonder how he ever got himself in this mess in the first place. He mentally kicked himself for making that promise as he felt his trousers tighten ever so quickly. He swallowed the lump that was forming at the back of his throat. "When did you get changed? I was gone for two seconds." He said croakily.

"About five minutes ago when I went to the bathroom." She said, as she seductively crawled to the end of the bed where Mark was standing.

The lump in his throat continued to grow which Mark had to keep swallowing. "How did I not notice?" he asked huskily.

Zoey gave a small shrug. "I guess you were too busy with the plates. You're not complaining are you?"

"Definitely not complaining." Mark said slowly with a hungry look in his eye as his eyes wondered down her breasts that were spilling out of her bra.

"You know you haven't been taking much notice of me recently…I'm starting to feel a bit neglected." She started to lean her face closer to Mark's.

"I'm sorry." Was all he could get out. He didn't care if that was true or not; at this point he would do anything for her, anything to get inside her, to feel her, to feed her need for her.

"Are you going to pay me more attention?" she asked moving in closer so their lips were almost touching. She shivered as Mark's hands ran down her back past her bra strap down her waist and stopped at her hip. He moved his right hand over her stomach and up to her breasts while his left fell comfortably to her ass. Not being able to take it anymore he closed the gap between them and kissed her hungrily on the lips. His tongue made its way in to her mouth and roamed every inch, not wanting to leave any part untouched. Zoey unbuttoned the shirt Mark was wearing and between the two of them, it was removed from his body. While they were still kissing Zoey unzipped his jeans and pulled them down with his boxers while Mark stepped out of them. Mark unclipped her bra strap within seconds and vigorously removed it from her body and threw it on the floor. He pushed her on to the bed and continued to rampage on her mouth. He quickly removed the thong and spreading her legs, sliding two fingers inside her centre. Zoey gasped at the unexpected sensation and allowed a moan to be released from deep inside her. It didn't take long before Zoey entire body started to quiver with desire and a full orgasm overtook her.

As Zoey lay in Mark's arms, she couldn't help but smile as she felt his soft breathing on the back of her neck. This is where she was meant to be and she had a sneaky suspicion she had known it since that first night they mad spent together.
