Sorry for how long it has taken me to update this, guys! Hope you haven't lost interest in it, and that you enjoy the new chapter. :)
Brandy sat on the couch, staring off into space as her mind once more began to wander to Mark. She knew she shouldn't dwell on the past like this, but she couldn't help it. She knew he was the only guy she would ever love, and it killed her that he no longer felt the same way. Just then, Teresa walked into the room.
Brandy looked over at her, and said, "Look at you, sexy."
Teresa grinned and said, "Yeah, I know." This comment made Brandy laugh. Sitting down next to her, Teresa added, "Come have a few drinks with me. I'll pay for you."
"Teresa, I would love to go out with you, but tonight just isn't a good night."
"Please Brandy?" Teresa begged.
"Oh, don't do that," Brandy replied when Teresa gave her the puppy eyes.
"Why won't you go?"
"Because tonight I would not be very good company. I'm not in the greatest of moods, and I…I just need some time to myself. I need time to think."
Teresa sighed. "Okay, but you have to promise me that tomorrow we have a movie night. You can't back down out of it, either."
Brandy grinned. "You have a deal." Teresa smiled back and gave her a hug. "Have fun, and have a drink for me."
"Oh, I think I can manage that," Teresa replied, and they both laughed. "I'll see you in the morning," Teresa replied as she stood up, and they said good-bye before she headed out the door. Brandy waited until she heard Teresa drive off, and reached beneath the couch, grabbing the photo album she had been looking at. She opened it, and looked at the photos she had of her and Mark in there. To be honest, she really just wanted to reminisce all the good times they had shared together before pushing him into her past, and officially moving on. She knew she could never be happy if she kept dwelling on what used to be, so she was finally willing to let him go.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. She closed the album and stuck it back under the couch before walking over to the door and opening it. Her eyes went wide when she saw whom it was. "Mark…what are you doing here?" she asked.
He hesitated to say anything for a second, and then asked, "Is it okay if I come in?" When she didn't respond, he added, "Please? I need to talk to you."
"I guess so," she replied, and stepped aside to let him in. "You want anything to drink?" she asked, motioning to the kitchen.
He shook his head as he sat down on the couch. "I'm fine. Come sit down," he replied.
She hesitantly walked over to him, and sat down on the other side of the couch. "Why did you come over here?" she asked.
Mark ran a hand through his hair and let out a weary sigh. "I'm not really sure on how to say all of this, so I hope it comes out okay. As you already knew, I had thought you left me for another man, which is why I was so bitter towards you. Jodi had done the exact same thing to me, and I just couldn't take going through it again. Last week, after I talked to you at the diner, Teresa came over and explained to me what happened. By the time she left, I felt like a complete asshole. I should have listened to what you were trying to say, but because I'm so damn stubborn at times, I didn't, and I apologize for that." Taking a deep breath, he added, "Basically, what I'm trying to get at with all of this is that…I'm sorry for the way I've treated you, and I'm hoping that maybe you would be willing to…possibly…give me a second chance?"
At first, Brandy didn't say anything, making Mark nervous as hell. Finally, though, she replied, "Mark, you are the only person I can say I have ever truly loved. I was crazy about you, and I still am. The way you treated me that day, though…it really hurt. I wanted to explain what happened, but you were being so god damn thickheaded that even if I did tell you the truth, you wouldn't have believed me! You have no idea how badly you hurt me, Mark. I don't blame you for being upset, but you never even gave me a chance."
Hearing her say that hit Mark hard. "I know, Brandy, and I'm really sorry. I know now what really happened, and I feel horrible now for ever being angry with you. Deep down, I knew that letter wasn't truly your doing, but I was so quick to come to conclusions that I didn't see it then." Looking back up at her, he added, "I do still love you, Brandy, and I don't think I ever stopped loving you. The only reason I was with Sara was to get my mind off of you. I guess I was trying to replace you, but there's no way I can. I understand if you don't want to give this a second chance, but I'm really hoping you'll say yes, because I honestly don't think I could stand another day without you," he said, and hoped she would forgive him.
By now, tears had come to her eyes. "Do you really mean that?" she asked, her voice quiet.
Mark nodded. "Every word, darlin'."
As the tears began to fall, Brandy threw her arms around his neck, clinging to him as she tried to contain her tears. He really did love her! It felt good to hug him again, and to feel his strong arms around her. Burying her face in his chest, she deeply inhaled his masculine scent, never wanting this moment to end.
"Damn, it feels good to have her in my arms again," Mark thought to himself, closing his eyes as he held her close to him. The only other time he had felt this happy was when she said yes to his proposal. He breathed in the intoxicating scent of her hair, and never wanted to let her out of his arms. He vowed then and there to never let her get away. Gently pulling her away, he leaned down and gave her a soft kiss. Both of them felt the sparks shooting between them as soon as their lips met. Brandy slid her arms back around Mark's neck, and pressed herself against him, suddenly wanting nothing more than for Mark to make love to her. He could sense this, and gently laid her back on the couch, to where he was above her. Brandy intertwined her legs with his and pulled his body closer to hers as she deepened the kiss. Slipping his hand beneath her shirt, Mark caressed the smooth skin of her stomach, before finally covering her breast and gently massaging it. He heard her gasp silently, and felt her pulling his shirt up his back as her hands ran across the broad expanse of his back.
"Brandy, wait," he panted, forcing himself to pull away.
"What's wrong, Mark?" she purred as she stroked his stomach.
"I didn't want it to happen like this," he replied, looking around the room. Standing up, he swiftly lifted her up into his arms, and asked, "Where's your bedroom?"
"Down that hall, first door on the right," she replied, nuzzling his neck, and he immediately carried her through the house, until they reached their destination.
Swinging the door wide open, Mark carried her into the room and gently set her down on the bed. Joining her, he brought her up onto her knees, to where they were kneeling in front of each other on the bed, and once more kissed her. While they touched and caressed, their clothes fell to the floor one by one, as they undressed each other, until they both were completely naked. As he once more gave her a deep kiss, Mark pressed his hips closer to hers. Brandy gasped loudly when his cock brushed up against her most private area, sending wonderful sensations running up her spine. He pulled away and asked in a husky voice, "You okay?"
"Yeah, don't stop," Brandy replied anxiously, her hands running along his shoulders. With an evil grin, he laid her back on the bed and started kissing her neck. Brandy closed her eyes when he started doing this, biting her lip as she stretched her neck out to give him better access. He made his way higher up her neck, until he reached the spot behind her ear. He heard her gasp as soon as he did this. It may have been over a year, but he still knew where her sweet spots were. When she started whimpering, silently begging him to take her, he finally made his way further down her body, taking one of her rosy buds into his mouth. This made Brandy cry out and arch her back, thrusting her nipple deeper into his mouth. Once he had both of them hard and erect, he moved his way further down her body, until he was merely inches from her heated center.
When he slid his fingers inside her, he could feel just how wet she was, and grinned smugly at this. "I can see you really did miss me," he murmured as he eased his thick digits in and out of her. She simply whimpered in response, her hands gripping the sheets as her hips moved in sync with his hand.
"Mark, please…I can't take the teasing anymore," she pleaded. Giving into her needs, he lowered his head and snaked his tongue inside her wet slit. Brandy cried out in appreciation, her thighs closing around his head. Draping her legs over his shoulders, Mark raised her hips off of the bed, bringing her closer to him, and closed his mouth around her clit as he started suckling it. When he started doing this, Brandy immediately grasped his head, running her hands through his short auburn hair as she enjoyed the pleasure he was giving her. "Oh shit, Mark, make me come," she whimpered, tugging on his hair. As he sucked harder on her clit, he slid two fingers inside her tight hole, and started stroking her g-spot. When he did this, Brandy started rocking her hips along with his motions, giving the telltale sign that it wouldn't be much longer for her. Mark stroked her as hard as he could, making her moans quickly grow louder and louder, until she was screaming out her pleasure. He eagerly drank in the sweet juices she gave him, until there was no more, and crawled his way back up her. Lying on his side, he gazed down at her, mesmerized by her beauty as she came down from her high. Knowing he was only one who ever made her feel this good is what made this moment so special, because it was him and only him who ever got to see her like this. Leaning down, he softly kissed her lips. When he pulled away, she suddenly pushed him onto his back. He looked up at her with wide eyes. "It's your turn now," she said in a seductive voice, and started kissing his chest. Mark simply closed his eyes as he enjoyed every second of what she did to him. A growl rumbled deep in his chest when she started teasing his nipples, his cock immediately reacting to her actions. She kissed her way down his body, playfully biting him every now and then, until she reached his fully erect cock. "Looks like you were glad to see me as well," she said teasingly as she softly stroked his inner thighs.
"You have no idea, baby," he murmured, as one of his hands wrapped around the bar on the headboard. Taking him in her hand, she started running her hand along his length, lightly squeezing him when she reached the root. After a couple of times of this, he could already feel a tingling forming in the pit of his belly, and said, "If you keep that up, I won't last much longer." She could feel his member quiver beneath her touch, and knew he must have been just as anxious as she was. Taking pity on him, she lowered her head and took the tip in her mouth. Groaning, he entangled his free hand in her hair as she lowered her mouth on his cock. "Oh god, how I've missed this," he thought to himself, letting out a silent sigh as she started bobbing her head up and down. Up until now, he had forgotten just how good she was at this. When she started picking up the pace, he thrusted his hips upward into her hot mouth, and grunted, "Yeah, baby, give it to me just how I like it."
Knowing what that was, she started deep-throating him as she massaged his balls. This got a loud groan from him, and he spread his legs further apart as he thrusted quicker into her mouth. Knowing he wouldn't last much longer, Brandy started gently tugging on his sack as she pumped the root of his cock, until he groaned loudly, shooting his seed down her throat. She willingly swallowed every drop of his load, and then moved back up him, straddling him as she pressed soft kisses all over his face.
Mark couldn't help but to grin when he felt her doing this. She had always been such a sweet little thing, and always knew how to melt his heart. Opening his eyes, Mark looked up at her, and found her smiling warmly at him. He smiled back and pulled her down to him, giving her a gentle kiss. He was brought back, though, when she quickly deepened it, boldly thrusting her tongue into his mouth. He did the same to her, their tongues intertwining erotically as their passion once more began to rise. When she moved her kisses down to his jaw line, Mark growled, "Brandy, baby, I need to be inside you." She looked down at him with a devilish gleam in her eyes, and started stroking his shaft back to its full erectness. She raised herself up, and with his help, was able to lower herself onto his throbbing erection. Mark groaned loudly as soon as he was fully inside her. He had forgotten just how tight she was, and it was almost too much for him to handle. "Shit, darlin', you're so fucking tight," he groaned as she started rocking her hips back and forth.
"Oh god, I've missed this," she gasped, bracing her hands on Mark's chest as she rocked faster.
"Now that you're mine again, I plan on fucking that sweet pussy of yours every night I can," he growled as he tightly grasped her hips. She moaned in response, letting her head fall back as she started steadily increasing her speed. Planting his feet on the mattress, Mark started arching his hips upward to meet her strokes, gazing down at where they were joined as he did so. Brandy whimpered as she started bouncing up and down on him, suddenly needing to feel that release she knew would come. Together they started moving faster and faster, the sounds of pleasure they were making growing louder as the end grew nearer for them.
Mark could feel that tingling beginning to form in his nether region, when Brandy suddenly clamped down on him and cried out in ecstasy as she came. Gritting his teeth, Mark squeezed his eyes shut and dug his nails painfully into her hips as he fought the urge to come. He wasn't quite ready to end it yet.
Once it passed, Brandy could feel Mark pulsing within her, and knew he hadn't come yet. Looking down at him, she found him watching her, a look of pure lust etched onto his face and his eyes dark with pleasure. After gazing at each other for a while, Mark gently pulled her down onto him and gave her a passionate kiss. As they shared this moment of intimacy, their hands softly roamed over one another's body, the passion they had once felt for each other burning stronger than ever. Holding her to him with one arm, Mark carefully rolled over, to where he was now on top. He finally pulled away, and looked down at her, his eyes now full of tender caring. Brandy slid her hands down his chest, and then back up as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Pulling him down, she gave him a soft kiss, and pressed her cheek to his once she pulled away. "Make me scream your name, Mark," she whispered in his ear, her voice raw with desire.
"I plan on it, baby," he replied huskily, and with that started slowly thrusting into her. She sighed and ran her hands along the plane of his back as she met his thrusts. Leaning up, Brandy sucked and kissed his neck as her hands traveled lower to his ass, and squeezed the taut muscles. This made Mark growl as he moved faster.
"Harder, Mark, harder," she murmured in his ear, urging him on. As soon as she said this, Mark started quickly increasing his pace, until he was pounding into her. This made her squeal in appreciation as she eagerly kept up the pace with him.
Mark grunted as he pumped into her, suddenly unable to get enough of her sweet pussy. Sure, the sex between him and Sara had been good, but it was nothing compared to what he experienced with Brandy. With her, it was about more than just the pleasure he received.
Needing to feel her come, Mark drove himself into her as deep as he could. The bed knocked loudly against the wall, and the bedsprings squealed noisily in protest to their rapid movements, but they simply kept moving faster. "Oh shit, I'm almost there," Brandy whimpered, her nails digging into his back. Reaching down between them, Mark started stroking her swollen clit, making her cry out and buck against him.
"Scream out my name, baby. Let it all go," he growled in her ear, his thrusts turning into short stabs as the end started quickly approaching for him as well.
Her whimpers grew louder and louder, until she suddenly tossed her head back and cried out, "Oh Mark!"
Feeling her tighten around him is what triggered Mark's orgasm, and he buried himself inside her as he growled, "Brandy!" His movements grew slower and slower, until he was barely rocking and forth, wanting to save each rippling sensation. Finally, he collapsed onto her, tucking his head beneath her chin. Brandy wrapped her arms around his neck, and they both let out a sigh of content.
"Wow," she breathed, idly stroking his hair.
"Mm-hmm," he mumbled, nuzzling against her. After lying like that for a while, trying to regain his strength, Mark pulled out of her and rolled over onto his back, pulling Brandy into his arms. Resting her head on his chest, she snuggled against him, enjoying the feel of his hard body against hers, and his strong arms around her.
"I love you," she sighed, lazily circling her fingertip around his nipple.
Mark looked down at her, brought back by this. How could she say that to him after the way he treated her? Tightening his arms around her, he kissed her forehead and murmured, "I love you too, darlin'."
With a grin on her face, Brandy closed her eyes and sighed, quickly falling asleep. Not long after her, Mark fell asleep as well, both of them feeling more relaxed than they had in over a year.

Teresa finally got back to the house at about three that morning. She was tired, but it was well worth it. She needed to get her mind off of Glenn, and that was the perfect thing to do so. As she looked up at the house, though, guilt began to sink in. Here she was, going out and partying, while Brandy sat at home, miserable and all alone. She knew she should have brought Brady with her. "Stop feeling so guilty. Brandy had specifically said she didn't want to go along. The last thing you want to do is force her to do something like this," she thought to herself. She walked up the porch steps, and headed inside. A frown covered Teresa's face when she saw the light were still on. Turning off the ones in the living room, she headed down the hall, and found Brandy's door wide open. This was also odd, considering the fact that Brandy ALWAYS slept with her door shut. Suddenly nervous, Teresa walked over to her room, and looked inside. She couldn't help but to smile warmly when she saw Brandy was in there, alright…with Mark's arms wrapped tightly around her as the two of them slept peacefully. She should have known this would happen. It was obvious the two of them were made for each other, so it would only be a matter of time before they ended up back together. Silently walking into the room, she carefully pulled the covers up over the two of them, and gave Brandy a soft kiss on the forehead before heading out of the room, and quietly shutting the door behind her. Turning off the rest of the lights, she got herself ready for bed, dreams of Glenn lulling her to sleep.
