Sherry was getting tired of Mark moping about the hotel moaning on about Kimber but refusing to let his friends in. "I don't know anything about your Kimber but if she's half as miserable as you then you need to talk, now. How did you expect her to react, you can be her lover but not tell her about your past? You hurt her, she needs time. You aren't someone people just walk away from." she said from the foot of his bed.
Mark just stared at the ceiling, "Why, I've walked away from everyone I ever cared about. I just bring trouble."
"And fun and laughter and love. If you could just forgive yourself you'd see we all have. I'm the last one who'd judge you, I'm no saint."
Mark pushed himself up onto his elbows and grinned, "You're a doll. Thank you."
Sherry just waved and headed for the door. "Time to get dressed ... to get undressed."
Mark went back to his staring when he heard a knock at the door, who was that? Swinging open the door he felt his heart in his throat, it was Kimber in a very feminine blouse with a pair of jeans. "You shouldn't be standing outside of my room, someone might see you and think the wrong thing about you."
She smiled, "Then invite me in and let them think whatever they want, I don't give a damn." She walked past him and he swallowed hard, it was so good to see her. He sat down on a chair across the room from her, he had to keep his distance until they talked because she looked so good in those jeans. "I meant to come sooner but I had to find the right words to say. Why couldn't you let me know, I thought we shared everything."
"I was so frightened you would hate me. I wanted to tell you so many times but... I couldn't lose you."
Kimber walked across the room and straddled Mark, fingering his top button on his shirt. "I didn't know Robbie but I know you. You wouldn't purposely hurt another person and if you say it was an accident I believe you. Believe in me Mark, I will be by your side until the Lord separates us and only He can" and she kissed him passionately.
Mark ran his hands up her thighs and pulled her to him closely, "I love you with everything I have Kimberly."
She slowly stripped off her shirt not allowing him to touch her, driving him crazy. "I expect nothing less than all of you from now on and then they'll be nothing between us."
"I really want nothing between us Kimber, right now." She laughed
and finally let him carry her to the bed.
Morning came too soon and a knock on the door startled them awake. It was Sherry
with breakfast on a tray for them, "I didn't figure you wanted to be around
people today but man can't live on love alone."
Later Mark was getting ready to take Kimber back home when he heard someone
call "Markus!" and he turned with tears in his eyes,
"Mother".
