SEPTEMBER 4, 2020, 2:21 AM

Another recurrence of Jenn waking up in the middle of the night. It wasn’t anything new, it happened almost every night. She happened to fall asleep early before Mark had any intent on getting into bed. The volume on the tv was quiet, but still enough for him to pay attention to.

She considered trying to fall back asleep, but it was nearly impossible. She still wanted to catch Mark while they were both still awake.

Her voice strained while trying stretch, turning to scoot closer to him.

“Did you sleep well?” He removed his arm from his chest to wrap it around her. She took the opportunity to snuggle close to his body, pulling the sheet over her bare shoulder.

“Yeah right,” She sneered, trying to share as much contact as possible as her body shivered from the brief moment away from the covers.

“Happy birthday my love” She grabbed his other hand, placing her lips on his knuckles.

“Thank you,” He smiled, tapping her nose bridge with his finger. She took this as the sign to look up, her lips being captured by his.

“I love you,” Jenn chuckled faintly, “What would you like today?”

“I don’t need any gifts” He pouted, “I have everything I could ever need”

She readjusted, wrapping her body around him as her leg settled between his.

“There has to be something. Cologne, Jewelry, a watch. You name it” She traced circles on his chest with her nail.

He exhaled sharply, not even beginning to think of what he possibly could have wanted as he shut his eyes.

“Or do you just wanna sleep on it?” She raised her eyebrow.

“Is that one of my options?” Mark had no way of being able to convince her he didn’t need anything. She always spoiled the people she loved, whether it was Christmas or their birthdays.

She huffed, propping herself up with her elbow while she worked on straddling his lap. Her hair hung over his face, eventually throwing it over to one side. She inched closer to his face, staring at his lips.

“Should I just decide for you?” She whispered, her lips just barely grazing over his bottom lip.

“It would make things easier on my part, wouldn’t it?” He hummed back, smirking as his hands wandered on her thighs.

“Way easier. I wouldn’t want you to pop a blood vessel” Finally kissing his chin, she slowly began to tease at his neck, biting and sucking. “Let me treat you”

“Okay,” He relaxed, clearing his throat as he eyed down and caught a glimpse of her back figure. The pink, silky satin slip dress complimented all the right places. She pulled it off with her skin tone. How she loved La Perla would be the death of him.

His hands strayed, trying to slide the straps down her arms until she swatted his hand away. She pulled the strap back over her shoulder, kissing his cheek and whispering into his ear, “Not for me”

Moving to the opposite side of his face, she left a nibble close to his ear. “My turn to take care of you”

He swore his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Sure, Jenn was a sensual woman when she wanted to be. It wasn’t often, so Mark thought he would savor and relish the moment while he could.

She dragged her lips back to his, giving him a quick peck and then a longer kiss, gently biting his lip as her tongue skimmed over his teeth.

“I love you so much” He let out a smooth sigh, moving her hair to kiss her neck, just as she did to him.

Jenn let him have his way only for a brief second, it felt too good to stop him. Gripping onto his wrist, she stared into his eyes. “I meant it when I said it was my turn”

He saw the fire in her eyes as he had never seen before. He was dreaming, right?

Holding onto his hand, Jenn continued where she left, leaving kisses from his lips, to his jaw, all down to his chest. Her hips had the perfect seat to feel him hardening underneath her.

Mark hissed through his teeth as she parted with his body, her lips leaving pecks on his toned torso. She got cozy in between his legs, kneading a place on his thigh with her hand.

“Jenn, please” He begged, throwing his head back and gulping. It was almost painful for him the longer she carried it out.

She palmed him through his boxers, just long enough to feel him aching before sliding them down his hips and throwing them out of the picture.

She began licking a long strip up his shaft to the top, finally taking him in her mouth and rolling her tongue around the tip. Her palm assisted at the base, every flick of her wrist sending electricity through his body.

Mark scoffed, lifting his head for a split second to see her dazzling at him. “Fuck” He cursed under his breath, laying his arms flat on the bed as he jolted into her mouth.

She placed one hand on his pelvis, holding him down so she could go at her own pace. She dragged her tongue up and down the underside of his cock, her other hand working him up and down like silk with the coat of her saliva.

She fit him into her mouth as best she could, feeling the tip hit the back of her throat and immediately sending tears to her eyes.

“Don’t stop” He whined, brushing her hair to one side so he could see her eyes. She looked up at him seductively, beginning to bob her head down his cock.

Her hands cupped him perfectly, rolling back and forth with what her mouth couldn’t fit. As she tasted the precum exit his slit, she gave him one last bob before parting with a pop.

She kissed his tip just where it laid on his stomach, leaving countless pecks and suckles as she crawled her way back up to his face. There were beads of sweat covering his forehead, causing her to blush.

Jenn pressed her lips against his, catching all his heavy moans. He was too in shock to ask questions, afraid the moment would end too soon.

She rolled her hips against his, the fabric of her panties rubbing him with the right amount of friction. Parting the cloth to the side, she spread her own juices around before grabbing him and carefully sinking down on Mark.

He let out a cry, watching her as her mouth opened in awe at his length. She held herself up with her palms on his chest, slowly rolling her hips up, down, and around on his cock.

Her legs were able to lift her, giving herself additional help by placing her hands back on his legs.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, admiring the lustful aura that was plastered on her face, a light layer of sweat covered her chest, enhancing the look of her breasts.

“One favor?” He muttered, sitting up and thrusting into her on his own, sucking on her neck.

She hummed softly, holding him close. Every each hit was sending waves through her body.

“Let me have this one moment for myself” He growled, holding her as he flipped her onto her back.

He held her panties to the side, gently massaging her clit as his hips started at work.

Jenn gripped his arm, moaning as he took over what she promised he wouldn’t have. Feeling the fabric of her bottoms slightly rip, she pouted.

Before she could say anything, he pulled out, tugging on the strings and sliding it right off her legs. She giggled, grabbing his face level to hers, kissing him between smiles.

“I know you love them, and I know you’d probably kill me if you saw a single tear”

She nodded, kissing his neck as he lifted her leg above his waist, pushing past her slick folds.

She cursed quietly, arching her back as he brushed her sensitive spot. His thrusts picked up the  pace, Jenn holding the back of his neck to kiss him, capturing his pants.

His hips started to get fierce, the sound of skin on skin slapping together. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in closer with her legs.

“I’m close” He managed to blurt out, hiding his face between her neck and biting down. His dominant hand moved between the two as his thumb began rubbing circles on her clit. He knew this was the best way for them to come together.

She squeezed her features together, her nails digging deep into his back as she released soft and whiny cries. He held on long enough until he started to feel her shake underneath him.

He kept his thumb moving to ride her through her high, his orgasm following right behind as he slapped against her one last time, concealing his sounds on the surface of her skin.

Mark collapsed onto her chest, breathing heavily as she brushed her fingers through his hair and rubbed circles on his back. The heat started radiating in her cheeks, finally taking in all that she did.

“Happy birthday” She whispered, kissing his ear. He chuckled, rolling over to the spot next to her.

“Oh my god,” He puffed out air, feeling the sweat across his face and wiping it away. “That was amazing”

Jenn scrunched her face together, looking away and screaming inside. It was her first time making a move on him, not knowing how she would do.

“How did you do that?” He scoffed, turning his head and poking her thigh.

“I’ve done my research” She murmured, pulling the sheets over her face.

He smiled, holding back his giggles because he knew it would make her more embarrassed than she already was. He pulled the sheet down, hovering over her while planting a kiss on her nose.

“I loved it” He quickly pecked her lips and forehead, moving on to bombard her with a bunch of kisses all over her face and neck. She giggled at all the tickles.

“I get it!” She squealed, trying to dodge his mouth which failed.

“I hope you do that more often, not just on my birthday or special occasions” He joked, leaving one last kiss on her cheek before flopping next to her.

“As you wish” She snuggled up to his chest, placing her palm over his heart.

“I love you” He kissed the top of her head, wrapping his arm around her, “Maybe we can try it again in the morning?”

Jenn became putty just by the touch of his warm hand on her cheek. Pure and delicate love was the feeling she felt with him. She felt safe. Like they could do anything they wanted to in the world. They were on top of the world.

“I love you” Mark utters, holding her head close as his hands roam down to rub her naked skin.

“I love you too” She sighs, kissing his arm and snuggling in closer to him. As if she could not get any closer, “Goodnight darling”

She hummed a tune, hoping it would help him to sleep. Not even a minute later, he was striking up the conversation again.

“Can I ask you something?” He pokes her shoulder while whispering.

She snickered, “You’re not tired? You can ask me anything, don’t even ask me if you want to ask me something, just say it”

His chest huffed as he laughed, her head following. “Was that a hard sentence to form?”

“Actually, yes, yes it was” 

“That’s why I love you”

“Because I elongate simple sentences?” She furrowed her brows, flattening her lips.

“You go above and beyond. You always find a way to surprise me every time”

Jenn nods her head while patting his chest, “Are you sure you’re not tired?”

“I also love when you try to change the subject whenever I compliment you. I wish you would give yourself a lot more credit”

She stayed silent, letting out another hum to signal she was still alert.

“You’re the strongest person I’ve ever met. You’re kind to an extent I didn’t know was possible. I wish you could see the way I see you”

She pulled the sheets over both of them as the air was giving a breeze. Her hand shifted up to his neck where she caressed his cheek. “I’m starting to”

The conversation grew silent as his words were fighting to come out. She already assumed he had dozed off.

“Do you think we will get married?” Eventually, he speaks back up, causing her to jump from the sudden noise.

“Mark, your mind is spilling out again”

“But do you?”

She sighs, opening her eyes and resting her chin on his chest, “Yes, I do, but you know how I feel about this”

“Because it’s a big step in our relationship? Are you afraid of wearing my ring on your finger or being legally tied to me-”

She interrupts him by placing her lips on his, her hands grasping his hair. “Stop baby. We still have a long way to go”

“Can I at least have the satisfaction of being able to call you my fiancée?” He looks into her eyes, eventually studying the pores on her nose.

“You’re eager aren’t you?”

“Hell yeah”

“Listen, Mark, I love you more than anything, you know I love you, and I know you love me. It’s a scary and overwhelming subject for me. My mom married a complete jackass who couldn’t even take care of himself. I want us to take our time, I’m in no rush and considering the group’s activities recently, we haven’t had much time for just us. You know what I mean?”

Mark frowned while rubbing her arm, “What if I ask your mom and get you a ring? Will you say yes then? We can be engaged for 20 years, I don’t care how long”

Her head fell on his chest, letting out a deep breath. “I-I don’t know”

“Look, I know your dad is an asshole, and you think we won’t work out because your mom’s been divorced twice now,” He tossed her hair to the side, rubbing her shoulder, “But we’ve got our own thing, and it works. Just look at how long we’ve been together, we’re practically already married”

“I love you, but please let’s go to sleep”

“If you say so,” Jenn shifted onto her side, Mark following and wrapping his arms around her, “Just remember, I won’t ever stop asking until you say yes”

“Our time will come, honey”

Two bodies pounced on her, forcing her awake. Jenn groaned while squinting her eyes, smiling as she pets the cat and dog. She patted the spot next to her, only to feel the vacant mattress.

“Lay down” She whined.

She pulled the covers over her, trying to adjust to the brightness in the room. Wrapping the sheet around her bare body, she sat up and looked around the room.

“Mark?” She called out.

She relaxed seeing him come out of the bathroom, putting a shirt on. She whistled towards him and giggled.

“Good morning” He walked to her side of the bed, pecking her lips several times before attacking her with his arms.

“Please not again” She laughed.

“What do you wanna do today?” He uttered against the curve of her neck, tickling it with his lips.

“Sleep” Jenn yawns while grabbing his arms and holding them tight against her, “I’m so tired”

“Let’s sleep then”

She hummed as he hugged her, keeping her safe.

“We will after I shower” They both frowned as she unlocked his arms around her, taking the sheet wrapped around her body with her.

“I will be here” Mark trailed off, laying against the pillows propped against the headboard while petting Milo. Luna followed her mom into the bathroom, earning a chuckle from him.

She cracked the door slightly in case the cat wanted out. After grabbing her towels, she got rid of the spare hairband she had on her wrist, while subconsciously removing a ring that was on her left hand. She turned the knob, freezing in her steps. She looked at her hand again before going over to see the ring she took off. She studied it, it was not a ring that she’d ever seen in her collection before.

She panicked, swinging the door open while her words were caught in her throat.

“W-What going on?”

He looked up from Milo in his lap, staring at her. “You finally noticed?”

“When did you do this?”

“While you were sleeping,” He got up from the bed, approaching her, “I couldn’t help myself. You just looked so peaceful and beautiful”

“But Mark, I said I wanted to take our time” She felt her cheeks heat up, holding the sheet right on her body.

“Here’s the thing, time is not certain, or promised to us. Not everyone knows how much time they have. I don’t wanna wait any more than we already have. All I want is for you to be my partner, my fiancée” His hand skims over her arm, holding her hand and taking the ring from her.

“I’ll wait. I will be patient with you until you’re ready. I love you, so please, marry me”

Jenn pressed her head against his chest, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

“Why are you crying beautiful?” He kisses the top of her head, rubbing circles on her back.

“I just love you so much” She laughs at how much of a baby she was being.

“As I said, I will wait as long as I need to until you come around”

Jenn looked up, smiling at him while nodding her head. “Yes”

Using his pinkie, he wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. His hand runs down her arm, collecting her hand and sliding the ring on her finger.

“And I wanted to be able to say I proposed to you before we die of the coronavirus” Looking down, Mark admired the way her already perfect hands looked with his ring on them. She patted his chest with her fist, looking up to laugh at him with tears running down her cheeks.

“We’re not dying, my mom needs to see me get married first”

“Speaking of your mom, I never even had to ask her permission for me to marry you”

She tilted her head in confusion, letting out a hum.

“I think it was the first time I met her. She said she won’t settle for anyone else. It has to be me”

“You’re kidding” She scoffed, covering her mouth and holding back her laugh.

“I’m sorry to kick you out, I love you but we’re gonna be late for something!” Jenn panicked, pushing everyone out the front door.

Youngjae and Yugyeom rolled their eyes, smirking at her. She seemed irritated during Mark’s entire dinner. Checking the time every five minutes, talking way too much when she was nervous. The rest of the members knew what she had planned for the rest of the night, Mark was clueless. He thought she was having several panic attacks, making sure she was good every time he glanced at her.

She sighed once the door shut. Mark giggled at her, approaching her to wrap his arms around her waist.

“You just couldn’t wait to get me alone?” He smirked.

“Maybe, but I made plans and if we’re late, we’re going to miss it”

“You don’t have to get me any more presents, I have all I want”

“Too bad, deal with it” She pecked his lips once, kissing him again and prolonging it. He smiled against her touch, pressing his forehead against hers.

“Don’t we have somewhere to be?” Mark sabotaged the romantic moment between them, Jenn snapping back to her priorities. She cursed to herself as she ran across their apartment. She made sure Milo and Luna were gonna be okay for the night before she ran towards Mark, tying a blindfold around his eyes.

“Why do I have to be blindfolded?”

“Cause It’s a surprise!”

“But I don’t wanna-“

“You liked it this morning, stop complaining” She chuckled, tying the knot and grabbing his shoulders.

“If I endure this, can we have a repeat of this morning” He tried reaching for her arms to hold onto.

“Whatever the birthday boy wants, he shall receive” Jenn kissed his cheek, leading him out the door and locking it behind them.

He squeezed her hand as she drove to the secret destination, asking ‘Are we there yet?’ every five minutes.

“I hope you won’t get mad at me for this” She laughed nervously.

“Why would I get mad at you?”

“You’ll see”

It was a short ride, minus the time it took to find a parking place. She hooked her arms around his, holding the other side of his arm with her hand and guiding him to their destination.

“Can I take it off now?”

“We’re almost there, you’re so impatient”

“What are you gonna do to me?”

“Be quiet,” She stopped him in his tracks, “Are you ready?”

“Should I be scared?” He giggled nervously, holding onto her arm.

“Maybe”

“Take it off”

Jenn carefully removed the blindfold from his head. It took him a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the light. He bit his tongue in confusion.

“Jenn, I already have enough tattoos, why are we here?”

“I know” She grabbed his hand, smiling up at him, “I thought I would need some moral support with me”

Mark’s brain took a few seconds to register what she was saying. She giggled at his reaction, also worrying that he was upset with her.

“What?”

“I want you to be here with me when I get my first tattoo,” She tightened her grip on his hand, “Are you mad?”

“You’ve never had a tattoo before, are you sure about this?”

“I’m positive, how else am I supposed to show you’re mine?” She winked, poking his ribs where he had her birthday tattooed on him.

“It hurts like-“

“It can’t be as bad as what I’ve gone through already” She locked her arms with him, dragging him inside the tattoo parlor.

“I’ll be fine, don’t worry” She smiled, kissing his cheek as they waited for her to be called back.

“You’re sure?”

“Just hold my hand and talk to me through it”

Jenn made Mark close his eyes as they stuck the template on her ribs. She smiled, pulling his hands off his face and seeing the surprise on his features.

“Do you like it?”

“I love it” He beamed so big at her, taking her hand and kissing her lips.

The artist instructed her to lay down, letting Mark move so he could sit next to her and keep her distracted. He rested his head on her arm, gazing into her eyes as his wandered to the guy who was about to pierce her skin. He gave him the look. A look that screamed ‘you better be gentle with her, but also do a good job’.

“Honey?” Jenn interrupted his stare down with the artist, “You okay?”

“Yeah, I’m good” He turned his focus back to her as the guy warned her before tracing the design with the needle.

She squinted her eyes shut, squeezing his hand and letting out a deep breath.

“It’ll be over before you know it” Mark reassured her, gently stroking the back of her hand with his fingers and pressing his forehead against hers.

Jenn laughed quietly to herself, “You know, I was gonna have Youngjae or Yugyeom come with me originally, and surprise you in bed,” She whispered, only loud enough for him to hear, “but I think I like this better”

“If you didn’t let me come, I would’ve been mad” He glanced back at the tattoo artist who was doing his job, “We wouldn’t get anything done”

“Shut up” She chuckled, patting his cheek with her free hand.

Tons of hand squeezing and tiny whines later, the tattoo artist had finished the tattoo. Mark patted her shoulder, kissing her forehead and helping her off the table.

“You’re done, does it look good?” The guy questioned her. Jenn walked over to the mirror and smiled. The area was extremely red but she was thrilled to have something other than jewelry to signify their relationship.

Jenn paid close attention to the aftercare instructions, Mark’s hand sneaking around her waist. Her side was sore and tender as they walked out of the parlor.

“You did so well” He smiled, swinging their hands back and forth.

“I did better than you did with mine” Jenn recalls back to the time he took her to the same shop, Mark almost tearing up at the pain of the needle.

“We don’t speak of that” He snickered, stopping at the passenger's side of the car, he pulled her close.

Jenn wrapped her arms around his neck, getting on her toes to kiss him.

“I love you” He utters, a genuine smile creeping onto his face as he looks at her with all the love in the world.

“I love you more”

“Shh,” He silences her by kissing her again, avoiding getting into an argument about who loves who more. He unlocks the car and holds the door open for her.

“I can’t make any promises Milo will be gentle with you” He laughs to himself, watching her get in.

“It’s okay” She arches her brow, fastening her seatbelt, “Luna knows to listen to her mommy” She winks at him. He rolls his eyes and shuts the door, joining her in the front seat and driving home.

August 6, 2019, 4:33am

Her eyes fluttered open to the sight of the bathroom light on. She squinted at the sudden brightness, covering her face with the sheet. When she opened her eyes again, Mark was climbing into bed next to her. She shuffled in the bed, making sure he had enough room to fit next to her. He splayed his arm across the pillow, Jenn taking the opportunity to lay her head back against him.

“Good morning beautiful” He whispered softly, letting her knuckles with his finger.

She hummed while her neck turned to find the alarm clock. “What time is it?”

“Almost five” Grabbing her hand and pressing his lips against the flat skin. “Do you know what day it is?”

Her mind went blank, cuddling closer to his chest and thinking. “Tuesday?”

“Yeah, what else?”

“The sixth?” He held back a laugh as she struggled to guess what day it was.

“August sixth, yes” He chuckled while looking down at her as she was half asleep.

“Help me out, I’m lost”

Mark rolled his eyes as he laughed, leaning down to kiss her soft lips. He tried looking into her eyes but they were closed since she was still drowsy.

“It’s your birthday, babe”

“It is?” She furrowed her brows in confusion, figuring out if it really was her birthday or not, “Oh, it is”

He placed his lips on hers, deepening the kiss this time. His movements transferred to her cheek, then to her jaw.

“It’s gonna be a long, busy” His voice lowered while placing quick, sloppy kisses along her neck and jawline.

“Oh, is it?” The corners of her mouth curled upwards while her body melted into goo under him.

“We won’t have time for just us two tonight, so I wanted to give you your present early”

“Why won’t we have time?”

“You’ll find out later tonight” He smirked, snatching her lips again, shifting in the bed to a more comfortable position. His free hand found its way onto her hip, kneading at the skin. His mouth found comfort in the crook of her neck, restraining himself from completely marking her up. His palm found its way up to grope her breast. She let out a soft sigh which went directly to his hips.

He pinched her bud with his fingers, continuing to massage each side of her chest. He knew she was worked up by the way she was purring underneath him. His hand traveled south, gently rubbing his fingers against her clothed core before slipping past the fabric and massaging her folds.

Jenn’s breath hitched as she grabbed his hand from under her head. She whined once his fingers dipped into her, creating a rhythm.

“Shh, I got you” He pressed his cheek against hers, entangling their fingers together, while his other hand continued to work her, curling and exploring new locations each time. Her hips unconsciously buckled forward, signaling him she wanted more.

He pressed his thumb against her clit, earning a sweet, rich moan from her. Her thighs squeezed around his hand, inserting another digit. Her back arched off the bed as his fingers quickened their pace. Jenn exhaled, not realizing how loud her satisfaction came off as. He told her to never hold back her pleasure, it let him know he was doing a good job but also making him weak.

He noticed her chest rising and falling so he removed his fingers and brought them up to his mouth. He licked her juices right off before kissing her harshly, letting her taste herself.

One thing Mark liked to do was kiss his way to the bottom. He pecked spots on her jaw, her neck and along her collarbone, just where his favorite scar of hers was located. He moved to hover over her, his legs resting on either side of her. He gripped her hips while leaving kisses, teasing her more and more by biting down briefly. He lowered himself farther on the bed, joining her legs together to slide her panties right off her legs.

He got comfortable, spreading her legs open to reveal herself to him. “Just relax, Princess. Let me take care of you”

Jenn grabbed the pillow her head was resting on, her hips jolting as his mouth met her wet core. She moaned out through her nose. His tongue lapped up her juices caused by his hand. He let go of his grip around her thighs, feeling up her body and groping her breasts. She let go of the pillow to hold his hands that were on her chest. She felt her face heat up each time his tongue brushed against her sensitive nub.

She was a moaning mess underneath him. There was never a dull moment at times like these. The love they felt for each other was always there. They could never grow tired of each other.

Her hips tried following the rhythm of his tongue, she was close to her release. Even though it was her birthday, he wasn’t going to completely bow down to her and give her what she wanted to ignore his own needs. He disconnected with her, on his knees while admiring the sight before him. She groaned, leaning up and grabbing him by the neck. She took her chance and shuffled to be on top of him.

She placed herself over his hips, feeling his hardness through his boxers. She smashed her lips against his, holding herself up with her arms on either side of his head. She captured his groans and whines with her mouth. Mark gripped her hips harshly, trying to press her down on him harder to satisfy himself. She nibbled on his neck before removing herself and helping him out of his boxers.

Jenn took his cheek in her hand, kissing him passionately and taking his breath away. She aligned herself with his cock, slowly sinking down and adjusting to his size that she could never get used to. He groaned, digging his fingers into her hips as she tightened around him.

She grinded up, creating a painfully slow pattern to tease him to extreme lengths. Her legs lasted comfortably around him, giving her the flexibility to rise and fall on his hardened member. Her head fell back in pleasure, whining which she knew turned him on. His hands reached up to squeeze her breasts once more. She followed his steps and held his hands to keep them there.

Jenn knew just how to make him come undone. She rolled her hips, just how she would on stage. If she knew one thing she was good at, it would be dancing provocatively. He released a whiny sigh, something she had never heard before, but she liked it.

He sat up, still inside her as he reached up and kissed her lips. His hands caressed her cheek, pushing her long hair out of the way so he could see her. She melted right into his touch, her sounds sounded like angels.

“God, you’re so beautiful” He breathed, his hips unconsciously taking the reins.

Mark grabbed her ass with his palms, remaining inside her while he took control and flipped her onto her back. He admired her underneath him, gazing into her eyes as his hips thrust in and out of her. She became more vocal, her moans turning into cries. He held himself up with his arms, Jenn’s hands sneaking under him and feeling his toned chest.

He reached down to kiss her lips, gently nipping on her bottom lip. His hips kept at it, his high approaching fast. Each thrust became sloppier, Jenn hadn’t realized she bit down on his shoulder to hold back her sobs. His movements stopped at once with a deep thrust. He groaned, the tiniest bit of a whine sensed in his sounds. Jenn swore she saw stars, her own climax woke her right up, while also tiring her even more.

Mark collapsed on her chest, both of them panting for air. She gulped, feeling how dry her throat was while grabbing the nape of his neck and holding him close to her. His hand stroked her cheek, pushing a stray hair behind her ear. He used his hand to hold himself up, making his face level with hers.

“Happy birthday” He smiled, pecking her lips.

She busted into laughter by how close he was to her face, but also because she loved her present.

“Thank you for the present” She giggled, kissing his nose.

“This is only one thing, you’re not even close to being finished”

“I don’t need anything. Spending time with all of you is more than enough” She smiled, brushing her fingers through his hair as sweat trickled down his face.

“We all went out of our way this year, I hope you love everything”

“I’ll love anything from you guys” He beamed down, adoring all her features. He had definitely been shot by devil’s bow.

“I love you” Mark kissed her deeply, pulling out and laying beside her.

“I love you more” She shifted over to lay on her chest, using her arms as a pillow and looking at him with all the love in the world.

“We have to be up in a few hours, get some rest while you can” He leaned in to kiss her forehead, pulling the sheets over her and resting his hand on the small of her back.

“We’ll need to clean up”

August 2, 2019; 11:38pm

The two men believed they had calmed Jenn down. Jaebeom was only comfortable to leave when Mark had started running a bath for her, reassuring him that he could take care of her.

“Thank you, Jaebeom” Mark thanked the leader, all of the sincerity was showing in his eyes. He nodded.

“Seriously, you’ve done so much for her” He clenched his jaw, exhaling deeply, “I don’t know how long she’s been hurting like that, but I’m glad she has you”

Jaebeom nodded, glancing over towards the bathroom door, “We’re similar. I can only imagine what she’s gone through her entire life”

“Tell me how she is after she gets out” He patted Mark’s shoulder, pursing his lips letting him out of the hotel room.

Mark still heard the water still running, quietly sneaking out of the room and into the lobby to try to find the man that caused all this hurt on Jenn. He spent what little time he had searching, even going up to the front desk and wondering where the man went that called to their room.

There was no sign of him on the property anywhere. He sighed, giving up and making his way back up to their room. He sneakily swiped the keycard to get in, only to see the bathroom door open. His eyes studied the room, looking for his girlfriend. She outside on the balcony, getting some fresh air.

He frowned, closing the door behind him and approaching behind her.

“Are you okay?”

Her shoulders slumped, releasing a small chuckle. “If I’m being honest? No”

There were words begging to escape, even if he went to open his mouth, they would not come out. He just found his place close to her, wrapping his arm around her, rubbing her arm.

“I feel like I should feel good, relieved,” She shook her head, looking up at the stars, “I don’t feel anything, I’m numb. I let 10 years of my thoughts spill out, and all I can feel is numbness” Mark still remained silent, knowing that she wouldn’t pressure him to speak because she knew he would always listen, even if he didn’t have the right things to say.

“I always thought he had been normal, I had hope that he could change” She scoffed, “I gave him so many chances to fix everything. I still remember the time he hesitated to even buy me a lip balm, then chatting up with someone, the first thing coming out of his mouth was ‘My daughter is battling cancer’ I couldn’t even go out in public and act normal”

“He did not want to buy me lip balm for my chapped lips but wanted to go to the bar three days a week and blow his money. I still remember the night I went back to his house, he took me to his friends shop one morning, making me go inside and say hi to people who pitied me”

“I’ve always been a pawn” Jenn threw her head down, slouching against the railing, “And even my stepdad could not fill the void. He was still my DNA. I grew up watching my friends dads be so funny, respectful, so normal”

Mark held her closer, using his other hand to entangle their fingers together. He kissed her exposed shoulder softly, resting his chin against the same spot.

“I was so oblivious, I thought he was normal and even after all these years I hoped he would change” Her voice began to break, Mark feeling her starting to shake under his touch. 

“You love me, right?” She asked him, weakness hinted in her tone.

He furrowed his eyebrows together, removing his hands to turn her and grab her face, “What did you just say to me?”

The tears were building up again. He could not believe she asked such a stupid question. “Do you love me?”

“Jenn, are you serious? I am so fucking in love with you. Can you not see that?”

“I see it, but-“ She shut her eyes, tears escaping as she fell apart, “Sometimes I wonder if it’s too good to be true”

“What are you talking about?”

“You” Her chest was tightening, making it hard for her to speak, “No man has ever been this good to me, my expectations have always been so low because of him”

“I’m scared this is all a dream. I don’t wanna wake up because what if you’re not there?” There was no way to hold back her tears anymore. She tried to turn her head, Mark only pulling her into his chest, letting her tears soak up his shirt. She gripped the fabric, hard enough to even puncture holes in it.

There were no words to describe how painful it was for Mark to see her this way. He couldn’t grasp the idea of her thinking he was too good for her. No matter how much convincing he could do, there was no way to erase all the damage her father had caused. Though it would feel good to beat all her pain onto him, it would not help anything.

He helped her limp, shaken body back into the hotel room and sat her down on the edge of the bed. She felt as if she was drowning each time she cried like this. Not anyone could pull her out and remove all the water from her lungs. He ran to the bathroom to dampen a cloth with cold water. He kneeled in front of her, pushing her hair out of her face, using the cloth to wipe away tears and refresh her.

Her eyes had already been puffy from crying a few hours ago, she was bound to be swollen for their promotions tomorrow. He choked back many emotions just to seem strong for her. He was hurting too.

“Jenn, look at me please” He patted her knee, looking up at her. She closed her eyes to save her more crying just by looking at him.

“Jenn” He demanded one last time. She slowly opened her eyes to reveal him on the ground before her, looking up at her with all the love in the world.

He stood back on his feet, gently grabbing her face, pushing her hair behind her ear. “Listen to me. I’m real, we’re real”

Her eyes tried to stray away from his gaze, “No, look at me” He tapped her chin with one of his fingers.

“I promise you, this is real. I can’t undo the past, but I can promise you that I will not let you endure anything like that ever again”

She nodded, grabbing his waist, pulling on his shirt. “I’m so scared” She wept.

“There is no need to be scared anymore, You’re stuck with me now” He embraced her, one hand massaging her scalp while the other rubbed her back. She chuckled in pain.

“I love you so much” She swore she was screaming, but only little whispers came out.

He pulled away from her, his hands moving to caress her face. “I love you, Jenn. I hate seeing you cry. I’m going to do everything in my power to make you the happiest woman on earth”

Nothing felt better than having his lips on hers, his hands on the nape of her neck. They felt more intimate than ever before. His lips carried down to her jaw, being careful not to leave any marks. She smiled to herself, grabbing a fistful of his hair, worry growing more and more with each second. Her headspace told her she was ready, but her body was boiling. His tongue glided across the perfect spot, earning a soft and almost inaudible moan from her.

He stopped his movements, leveling his face with hers, caressing her cheeks with his palms.

"You're sure about this, right?" He pursed his lips, softening his features to hide his lust.

She nodded, grabbing his wrists and stealing another kiss from him.

"Please, tell me if I'm ever hurting you" He resumed where he left off, leaving more aggressive kisses on her neck.

Jenn rested her chin on her hand, watching him scrub the plates and silverware. She saw the veins become visible in his arm. Although it seemed he couldn't control it, the sight was very much appealing. She stood to her feet, approaching him to wrap her arms around his torso, on her tiptoes kiss his cheek.

"Thank you" She smiled, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah yeah" Mark smirked, tilting his head to the side to meet hers.

"I'm gonna take a shower, okay?"

"Another one?"

Jenn giggled, nodding and squeezing him tighter. She had showered that morning too. "Yeah, I just need to clear my head"

"Is something bothering you?" He turned the faucet off, turning around to face her.

"I'm okay, I just have something on my mind" She caressed that same vein on his arm that was catching her attention.

"Let me know if I can help" He leaned in to kiss her forehead. She nodded, heading towards the bathroom.

—

"Do you feel better?" He turned off his phone, laying it down on the bed and resting on his elbow.

"Almost" She crossed her arms, looking down to the floor, "Mark"

He began to worry, getting up from the bed and approaching her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm ready"

He furrowed his brows at first, confused at what she was saying. Though his brain was slow, it came to him quick. He widened his eyes, grabbing her arms. "What?"

He slowly lifted her shirt up, giving her an opportunity to stop him at any moment. She was exposed to him. Any man would've lost control of themselves and went to grope the woman, but something more important caught Mark's eye. He looked down to her face, noticing her flushed cheeks.

"Can I?" He spoke softly, she nodded to give him the green light.

His fingers hovered over the scar just below her collarbone. He took his time to observe the skin that stood out to him. He was in awe, tracing the white scar delicately with his fingers. He placed soft kisses along her neck, and on the scar.

Jenn's blood started to boil as his lips left the scar and his hands found their way onto her breasts. She looked down upon him, watching him massage her when he connected his tongue to the soft flesh. He slowly backed her onto the bed, laying her down and resuming his gestures. His hands cupped her, switching back and forth to sensitize each bud.

"Is this okay?" He paused, raising his head to check up on her. He earned a nod, along with a sigh from her. Mark was making sure to get her familiar with the feeling before getting closer to the intense stuff.

Mark smiled to himself, his hands kneading her chest gently while his lips left soft kisses under the area. Jenn concealed her gratification to the best of her abilities, afraid of her sounds turning him off, or feeding into her vulnerability even more. It was when he inched closer to the hem of her sweatpants that she grabbed his wrists and giggled. She was obviously ticklish there which made him smile harder.

He crawled up to align his face with hers, placing a chaste kiss on her lips. His right hand was holding himself up, while the left one met her cheek delicately.

"You're really sure about this?" He asked once more, gazing into her eyes intently. The pad of his thumb rubbed her soft cheeks.

"Yes," Jenn nodded, pecking his lips and smiling to disguise her nervousness, "Don't make me change my mind"

Mark really fell in love all over again seeing her smile. The way her eyes looked like the starry sky with just the right amount of luminosity brightening the room. Then a wave of realization hit him. He was being given a great deal of responsibility. She was fragile and not used to this kind of stuff. But she trusted him enough to choose him to be the one.

"Tell me to stop if you're uncomfortable" She nodded, watching him go down and to carefully remove her sweats.

Her cheeks felt like lava or even the pits of hell. Now she was really exposed to him, only left in her black lace garments. A couple seconds passed, and he wasn't touching her. Was something wrong?

She sat up, resting on her elbows. He sat in front of her legs, staring down at her pelvis.

"Mark?"

He completely shut everything out, he was feeling so many emotions at once. Hints of euphoria and sorrow were tugging at his heart as he eyed the several scars that were placed on her hips. There was one just above her belly button and one on each side of her hip. He traced each one with his fingers again before he glanced up at her. All she could do was smile. It was genuine and full of love. Mark made his face parallel to hers, kissing her lips so passionately. The kiss was full of equal amounts of love and lust.

His hand met the back of her neck, pulling away from her lips and placing one on her chin. "Just relax, I've got you" He left sloppy kisses on her jaw, neck, chest, all the way down to her stomach when he used his left hand to lightly push her upper body flat on the bed. She closed her eyes, gulping with her chest rising and falling. He kissed all three of her scars on her pelvis before leaving one on top of her fabric.

He looked up one last time before softly running the top of his fingers against the fabric, hooking his hands around the band of her panties and sliding them off her legs, discarding them across the room. He took the opportunity to slide his shirt over his head, along with the sweats he had on. He got comfortable between her legs, leaving delicate kisses on the inside of her thighs. His hands sneaked under her legs to hold down her hips. "Let me know if it's too much, okay?"

"Okay" She swallowed the big lump in her throat as he breathed in the direction of her sensitive area. He could tell that his kisses and all the massaging was going directly to her core. She stared directly towards the ceiling, waiting for him to do something when her body jolted. He parted her lips with his tongue, holding her hips in place with his arms. She grasped the sheets beneath her in purchase. She released a quiet, high pitched moan as he discovered new locations of her that she never once thought he could.

Mark worked up a pace, swirling his tongue inside her, making sure not to leave any part untouched. His tongue grazed her bundle of nerves. It was a new sensation to her, but it felt good nonetheless. Instead of raking her fingers through his hair, she grabbed his wrist with one hand, while still clutching the bedsheets with the other. His nose poked at her bud just slightly while he freed one of his arms. He gently massaged her clit, gathering some of her juices before removing his mouth from her.

“This might feel weird, okay?” He instructed her what he was doing so she didn’t have any surprises. “Just tell me to stop if it’s too much” He earned a hum for her, then he slowly inserted a digit into her entrance. She grabbed the sheets, almost afraid of digging a hole in the cloth with her fingernails. The stretch was new to her but tolerable.

He gave her a few seconds to adjust until he felt that she had relaxed around him. Mark moved his finger slightly, giving her the full act before she made a judgment. Soon as she seemed ready for the next stage, his middle finger joined the pace, causing Jenn to exhale heavily.

"You okay?" Mark checked in with her, slowing down his movements briefly.

"Keep going" She swallowed her pride when she spoke to him. Though she was shy and a beginner, she liked it. It was foreign but if it was with him, she didn't mind.

He followed her command and worked her to oblivion with his two fingers. He softly massaged her nub while he was at it. Meanwhile, Jenn was developing a feeling she hadn't ever felt before. It was coming to her gradually while it made her work up a sweat. Mark was taken off guard when she suddenly gripped his arm, squeezing so tight he thought she broke the skin. He took this as a sign she was close to the edge. He used both his tongue and his fingers to get her to her climax. He removed her hand that was holding onto him, replacing it by entangling his fingers with hers.

Jenn whined while all her limbs tensed up, holding on tightly to his hand, while her other was fisting the pillow her head was on. Her walls squeezed around his fingers as he continued to drive them in and out, curling upwards to new locations.

The next moments were vague to Jenn. The last thing she remembers seeing was Mark gazing up at her, then turning to face the ceiling. As soon as she came too, her vision became clear again. Mark watched her chest rise and fall harshly. She panted like she got the wind knocked out of her. He rubbed the insides of her thighs to try and calm her down before moving on.

"Are you okay?" He asked her softly, kneading her hip.

"I need a minute" She exhaled, not knowing she had let go of his hand in the process of her orgasm.

"Take all the time you need baby" She smiled through her tiredness.

He kissed his way back up to her lips, pushing back the hair that stuck to her forehead. “God, You’re so beautiful” Placing a peck on her nose.

“It’ll be fine right?” She mumbled, looking into his eyes and he could get the vibe she was nervous for him.

“It’ll be different, but I’ll do anything to make sure you’re comfortable” He smiled, rubbing her cheek with his thumb, “just trust me, okay?”

She nodded, pursing her lips and kissing him.

“You know you can always tell me to stop” She nodded once more, he smiled, kissing her forehead and beginning to remove his boxers. She shut her eyes, trying to relax, but she was afraid if there was going to be a pain.

He gave his length a few pumps, spreading his own arousal to make it easier for entry. He positioned himself between her legs, using his arm to hold himself up, while the other spread her leg.

“You can hold onto me, rip my hair out, anything you want” He chuckled, making her giggle herself.

“You’re an idiot” She smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck, nodding to tell him to take his shot.

Mark brushed his tongue against her bottom lip, flashing her the most loving smile ever. He took himself in his hand, carefully aligning with her entrance. Her past orgasm had made it easy to slide right in. Just as his tip entered, she squeezed her eyes shut, clenching her jaw and digging her fingernails in his back. He pressed his forehead against hers, breathing the same air as he continued to slide through.

He felt her walls close around his shaft which made him groan. He tried his best to stay patient and let her adjust. The stretch was nothing compared to his fingers, it was almost unbearable. Jenn tried hiding her whimpers, but it was evident to him. He was finally in all the way, letting go of her leg to rest his arm beside her head.

"Is it okay?" He grunted as the feeling was almost too much for him.

She took a brief moment to reply, trying to brush off the pain she was experiencing. She let out a cry, signaling him to move. He subtly began to move his hips, while shaking off his own pain from her clawing his shoulder. He set the pace and kept it steady for her, trying to get her used to the rhythm. He captured her moans with his lips, brushing her hair out of her face.

"Are you okay?" He asked her again, afraid he was being too rough from her reaction of his size.

"You're fine, keep going" She smiled, nodding faintly. She wrapped her arms around him, kissing him briefly while regaining her breath.

Mark sped his hip work up, making sure not to be too rough. Jenn couldn't believe this was really happening. It was such an intimate milestone in their relationship and they both felt love. He distanced their faces, planting kisses on her forehead to her cheek. From the foreplay, seeing her body, to the way she felt around him, he was close to his edge as well.

The sounds that he was producing from his body were a huge turn on for her. Quiet grunts and whines were released as he placed his head between her neck and shoulder, kissing and biting down on the skin.

His movements were getting sloppier by the second, grasping the pillow that her head rested on as the pleasure was getting to be too much. He lost control of himself, his hips thrusting carelessly as the sounds of skin slapping against each other and moans filled the room. He was only focused on his pleasure, desperate for his own release.

He jolted into her one last time before his movements halted completely, grunting and collapsing on top of her as he fell apart. Jenn hugged his back, breathing heavily while running her fingers through his hair. Mark's hand met her temple as he regained his breath, caressing it before holding himself up again and facing her.

"I'm sorry, I-" He realized her eyes were glassy, tears running down her face as she beamed up towards him, "Are you hurt? What's wrong?" He carefully wiped under her eyes, worry filling his features.

"I'm okay" She chuckled, the waterworks continued to flow as she touched his cheek, putting back the hair that stuck to his forehead from the sweat. "I'm happy"

He laughed to himself, his lips covered hers in a long, passionate kiss, spilling all his love into her. "I love you"

She nodded, "and I love you" He pressed his forehead against hers before pulling out and laying beside her.

"We should probably clean up" He joked, nipping at her shoulder.

"Yeah, you're sweaty" Jenn squeezed her nose shut while waving her free hand.

"You made me sweaty" His comment made her smack his chest, earning a gummy laugh from him. He took the sheets beneath her and covered her bare body.

"Oh,- we should probably change the sheets while we're at it" He patted her knee, rolling onto his stomach and staring at her, smiling to himself.

"What? Do I have the afterglow?" She blushed, ruffling his hair.

"Oh yes, but you're so perfect" He crawled to hover over her, "You're so beautiful, you did amazing" He pecked her lips several times before connecting them one last time for a loving and lengthy kiss.
