John Black woke up to find an empty bed. He was wondering where his wife could be. It was still too early for her to be at the office. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. He wanted to have shower with her, in case she was in there. It was always how they start their day. He was feeling great because today was his birthday, January 23rd. He was now 47 years old. He had planned a special dinner for the family at Tuscany and a very special night with his gorgeous wife after that dinner. He was disappointed when he found the bathroom empty, Marlena’s towel and robe were neatly hanging behind the shower door and her perfumes were neatly arranged on her vanity. The bathroom smelled like lavender, and that reminded John of Marlena. “Maybe she’s with the kids and having breakfast,” John thought out loud. With that in mind, he grabbed his robe and went downstairs only to find both Belle and Brady in the kitchen enjoying their breakfast. “Good morning,” John said as he poured coffee in Marlena’s mug. He loved using her mug, and the thought that Marlena’s lips grazed the rim of the mug, sent shivers down his spine. “Hi dad,” Belle and Brady said in unison. “Where’s your mom?” “She left early. She said one of her patients called and asking to meet her this morning. Why?” Belle asked. “Nothing. I just want to spend breakfast with my favorite people before I go to work.” “So, what’s special with today? I mean we always have breakfast together, what’s so special today?” Brady asked as he gulped down the remaining of his coffee. John was shocked to hear that his children forgot about his birthday. “You don’t know what today is?” Belle and Brady looked at each other. Of course they knew that today was their dad’s birthday, they would never dare to forget that, but Marlena told them to convince John that they forgot his birthday because she was planning to surprise him. “What day is today? It’s the 23rd right? Oh yeah, I remember! I promised Chloe that I will go with her for her recital, and I am running late. Thanks dad for reminding me.” Brady kissed Belle and patted John’s back and left. “Bye, I’ll see you this evening!” Belle noticed her father’s sad look and she felt too guilty by telling him that she didn’t remember his birthday. “What’s wrong dad? You and mom had a fight or something?” “No, I just missed her this morning, that’s all. You really don’t know what today is? January 23? No idea at all?” Belle thought for a moment. “None that I know of, wait…” she looked at the planner, and she shouted and grabbed John’s hand. “Oh my god! I almost forgot! How could I have forgotten what today is?!” John was now grinning from ear to ear, thinking that his daughter already remembered. “Today is when Shawn and I first met! Oh my god! I have to meet him, thanks for reminding me about it dad. You really are the best!” Belle kissed John and left. John was now all alone in his kitchen with a heavy heart. “Why didn’t they remember? Am I not important to them anymore?” he thought. He drank the remaining of his coffee and went back to his and Marlena’s bedroom to prepare for work, and for the coming fashion show tonight. What he didn’t know was Marlena, together with the rest of their family and friends had something for him.
Meanwhile, at Marlena’s office at the University Hospital, Belle and Brady was seated on Marlena’s couch, patiently waiting for their mother to return. “Hey Tink, did you see the look on dad’s ace when we told him what today for us is?” Belle burst out laughing. “He looked like a lost puppy! I just feel so bad about lying to dad and not greeting him on his birthday.” “Hey, mom said that we had to do it because she prepared a surprise for him tonight. And speaking of mom, what’s keeping her? She’s supposed to be meeting us 20 minutes ago.” Brady said as he went towards Marlena’s table and sat on her chair. He scanned her table and his heart melted when he saw the things lying on the table. There were pictures of them everywhere – of Carrie, Sami, Eric, Belle, his father and of him, each on separate frames; pictures of Marlena, Carrie, Sami, Eric and his dad, probably taken when Salem thought that John was Roman Brady; picture of him and Belle sitting on Santa’s lap, while John and Marlena were kissing under the mistletoe; a family picture of the Blacks – John, Marlena, Carrie, Sami, Eric, Belle and him; and his mom and dad’s wedding picture. He took the wedding picture and looked at it closely. His parents were so much in love. He just wished that someday, he would find someone that he could share his life with, like that of his parents. Even though Marlena was not his biological mother, he never felt different. She treated him like her own and he was very grateful for that. He loved Marlena like his own mother. His thoughts were broken when his mother entered her office. “It’s about time you got in here,” Brady said smiling as he got up from his seat and kissed Marlena’s cheek. “What took you so long? We’ve been waiting for you here for an hour!” Brady said playfully. “Really?” Marlena answered eyeing Brady. “You got me!” Marlena and Brady sat beside Belle, who was reading a magazine. “So did you 2 do what I told you?” “Yes, mission accomplished!” Belle said. “Good agents! How did your dad take it?” “He was down. He thought that we really forgot about his birthday.” “Mom, what are you planning?” “OK, here’s the plan. We are going to surprise your dad tonight during the fashion show. I already arranged all the things that we need for tonight and I asked Bo and Abe to keep track of your father. I also asked Maggie to cater John’s favorite food for tonight. And have you got our surprise for him?” “Yeah, how about you” Brady inquired. “Of course I got mine, and I’m not telling you.” “Come on mom, tell us. We promise not to tell anyone.” Belle said. “Nope. You’ll have to wait until tonight. OK, all has been settled, you guys go to wherever you want and let me do some more work in here. I’ll see you both tonight. Inform Carrie, Sami and Eric about the plan and tell them what I told you 2 OK?” “Bye, mom.” Belle and Bray said in unison as they kissed Marlena in both of her cheeks, then they left.
John arrived at the Basic Black building with a sad look on his face. It was noticed by Kate Roberts, the one who had been hounding John since her husband, Roman Brady left her. “Good morning, John. What’s with the sad face? Problems at home?” “Oh, hi there Kate. It’s nothing. And there is no problems at home. But thank you for asking anyway.” John entered his office with Kate following him. Kate closed the door as John sat on his chair and looked at his window, overlooking the whole of Salem. Kate noticed that John was so down, so she decided to cheer him up. She walked over to where he was and sat on the table. “John, I know why you are so down. I know that your wife is the problem. Am I right?” “No, you’re wrong. Marlena isn’t a problem. And didn’t I tell you that we have no problems at home?” “Then why are you so sad?” “Because everybody has forgotten what today is. Today is my birthday, and my children and my wife seems to forgotten about it.” “So that’s it? OK, here’s something to cheer you up. What if, after the fashion show tonight, we’ll go to dinner? My treat.” “I don’t know Kate…” “Please, John. Let me do something for you. Please?” “OK, after the fashion show, we’ll go to dinner.” “OK, it’s a date.” With that, Kate kissed John on his lips, but John pushed her away. “Kate, please. I think I need to be alone.” “OK, but I’ll see you after the show.” Kate left John alone. With Kate gone, John was free to be with himself. He looked again at the picture of Marlena sitting on his table and took it. “Oh, I love you so much Doc. I just can’t bring myself to think that you have forgotten my birthday.” He was interrupted when his phone rang. “Hello. John Black speaking.” “Hi, sailor. I hope I’m not interrupting something.” “Do you know that I’ve been longing to hear your voice, Doc.” “I’m sorry I left you this morning. It’s one of my patients who wanted to see me first thing in the morning.” “Yeah, I already know about that. Brady and Belle told me when I found the 2 of them having their breakfast. So, what can I do for you?” “Nothing, I just want to ask this gorgeous man, if he would like to join me for lunch at Penthouse Grille, my treat of course.” “Well, you said it is your treat? I’m in. I’ll pick you up in 20 minutes.” “I’ll be waiting. I love you, Sailor.” “I love you too Doc, see you in a few.” John hung up and started to fix himself for his lunch date with his beloved wife.
John was the first to arrive at the Penthouse Grille. He was anxiously waiting for his wife. He pre-ordered their food so that they won’t be wasting any time ordering later. After 10 minutes of waiting, John noticed that most of the men’s eyes were focused on one direction – at the door. John followed their gaze and saw what captured the men’s attention. It was Marlena. Marlena spotted John as she was confirming her reservation with the maitre d’. All eyes were on her – the men’s with open admiration and the women’s with open disdain. John couldn’t help but feel proud because she is his wife. Marlena was surely the most beautiful woman in that room and in the world. Even in her power suit, she oozes sensuality and grace. Marlena reached their table and John immediately stood and helped her with her seat. “Thank you, Sailor. I’m sorry I was late. A patient of mine dropped by and was very agitated, so I tried to calm him down a bit.” John just stared at his wife which Marlena noticed. “What? Do I have something on my face?” “No. I just can’t still believe it that I am the luckiest man on earth.” “And why is that?” “Because I am married to the most gorgeous, most intelligent and sexiest psychiatrist in the planet.” “Flattery will get you nowhere, Sailor.” “I’m just telling you the whole truth. Look around you darling. All eyes are on you.” “And you feel proud because I’m with you? I boost your ego?” “Yeah. Every men’s ego will be elevated whenever you’re beside them. By the way, enough of this talk, I took the initiative of ordering our food. I know that you have a very busy schedule so I won’t be taking much of your time.” “Thanks. I really do have my patients lined up for today. How about you? How’s work? And how is the fashion show tonight?” “Well, work in my side of the beach is just the same. And about the fashion show, I left it all out to Belle and Carrie. They are the ones handling the whole show. And speaking of the show, are you going to make it tonight?” “I don’t know John. Craig announced earlier that there will be some kind of a staff meeting by 7PM. But I will try my best to be there. I know how important this fashion show is to you.” “I really hope that you will be there.” John said as he held Marlena’s hand and kissed it. Their food was served and they started eating. After they finished their lunch, John and Marlena parted ways, both returning to their own offices. They promised that they will call each other when they reached their offices. John was the first one to arrive and he was greeted by Kate’s ramblings about how John stood her up with their lunch date. “Kate, we didn’t agree on having lunch together. And I wanted to spend some time with my wife, so if you don’t have anything important to say to me, please I want to be alone.” Kate left John’s office fuming with the way he treated her. John immediately grabbed the phone and dialed Marlena’s number but he was disappointed when her secretary told her that Marlena was called in for a meeting and she didn’t know when she will be back. John just told Marlena’s secretary to tell Marlena that he called and was expecting her to call back. Meanwhile, in Marlena’s office, Marlena was feeling so guilty by lying to John. She just wanted to make her surprise for him perfect. She was indeed in a meeting, but not with Craig, but with Belle, Brady, Carrie and Sami. They were finishing up their surprise for John that they will reveal on the fashion show.
At the fashion show, John was still hoping that Marlena will be attending the event. He was trying to contact her but her secretary told him that she was still at the meeting. Actually, Marlena was already at the Basic Black Designs building getting ready for her surprise to her husband. She was going to be the last one to walk on the runway, sporting Basic Black’s newest line of lingerie, for their label Delicious On Contact. She was getting ready in Belle’s office, putting on the somewhat sheer black lacy bra and the lacy thong, the garter belt and the thigh high black stockings, a lace stiletto and the black silk robe. Belle entered her office to find her mom putting on some make up and she was stunned by how beautiful her mom really is. “Wow, look at you! I’m sure dad’s eye will pop out once he sees you! No all the men’s eyes will be onto you! You look great mom.” “Thanks sweety. Is your father already there?” “Yes. He’s a bit down because according to your secretary you are in a meeting and won’t be joining dad to watch the show.” “Well, I’ve planned this for months and I want it to go smoothly.” “I know. Dad will love this, I’m sure he will.” Belle went to her table and brought out a box and went to her mom. “Here mom, wear this.” Belle put the black lace choker with a single rose on the center, on her mother’s neck. “There. You look great! ! ! we’ll see you in a few OK?” “OK!”
“Ladies and gentlemen, good evening to all of you. I’m Isabella Black, production manager of Basic Black Designs, thank you for coming over to witness our fashion show for Basic Black’s winter collection. Our models will be sporting new designs of our evening gowns, corporate wear, casual wear and of course, the Basic Black’s famous lingerie line, Delicious On Contact. So, without further ado, I’ll give the runway to the models.” Belle stepped down from the runway and sat beside her dad as the crowd gave her a round of applause. The lights were dimmed and Enigma’s Gravity of Love was heard through the sound system as the models walked down the runway sporting Basic Black’s evening gown collection. Then the music ended and Rolling Stone’s Satisfaction started blaring from the speakers and the models wearing the corporate and casual wear emerged and walked down the runway. After the last model was out of the runway, the music stopped, the lights went out, and the spotlight was focused on the figure standing at the center of the runway. John was curious as to who was that model, she sure does have the most perfect pair of legs in the entire whole world. “Who is that one?” John asked Belle. “I don’t know. Carrie said that the model who would be wearing the lingerie was sick and she sent a substitute for her.” “Is that so?” then John was surprised when he heard the model sing a Marilyn Monroe version of Happy Birthday.
Marlena was enjoying herself singing to her husband with her best Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday version. She still was facing the wall, she wanted John to be surprised when she walked down the runway wearing only the DOC lingerie. “Happy birthday, mister President…happy birthday to…” then Marlena faced the audience and finished her song looking at John. “YOU!” she said as she pointed out at John. “Hit it boys!” Then Zombies’ Time of the Season was heard as Marlena took the runway with a storm. All eyes were on her, especially John’s. Kate was fuming because of the stunt that Marlena pulled, so she left the show. While walking down the runway, Marlena pulled the belt of her robe and revealed her delicious body clad in black lacy undergarments. John’s eyes nearly popped out when he saw what his wife was wearing. He had the urge to jump on the stage and ravage Marlena. He was having a huge erection by now. He was sweating even though the room was fully air conditioned. Marlena tossed her robe to John, who immediately caught it and smelled it. It smelled like Marlena and he was aroused further. He wanted to take her home and have his way with her. After Marlena walked the whole runway, she blew a kiss towards John and winked at him. The men in the crowd wished that they were John Black at this moment. John was such a very lucky man, with a capital L. Then Marlena went backstage as Belle got up the runway to thank the crowd and tell them about the party after the show. John immediately went after his wife at the backstage, but he was disappointed when he didn’t saw her. Then a hand on his shoulder brought a smile on his face. “Lookin’ for me Sailor?” Marlena said with her best sultry voice. John turned to see her as she put her hands around his neck. “Did you like the show?” “I did. Especially the last part, when this stunning blonde came out and sang for me and strode the runway wearing my personally-designed lingerie.” John smiled as he kissed Marlena. “I thought you were in a staff meeting that you couldn’t get out of?” “I lied. Forgive me?” Marlena gave him her best puppy look. “Please?” “in one condition?” “What is it?” “I’ll be having a repeat performance later. At home. In the privacy of our bedroom. Deal?” “Deal!” Marlena smiled as she kissed John. “I’ll see you out there Sailor. I just have to get dressed to join you all out there.” “I would rather watch you get dressed than to be with them, especially when Kate is sending signals to me.” “She’s what?” “Yeah, she’s trying to get close to me. So I will be out there with you. And I would like to see you in this gown!” John said as he picked out the gown that he wanted his wife to wear. It was a black formfitting gown, with a high neck and a dangerously low back. Marlena wore only a dangling solitaire earrings and her wedding ring and her hair was pulled up with a few tendrils that brushed her narrow neck. John’s breath was taken away when he saw Marlena in that dress. “Oh, God baby, you look too good to eat!” “Let’s go. I’m famished! And then we can go home and settle the deal we’ve made.” Marlena said with a twinkle in her eyes.
After the post-show party, John and Marlena rushed to their car and went home. They tried to keep their hands off of each other but John was finding it too difficult to do. At last they have reached their building. They boarded the elevator and pressed the number to their floor. Marlena couldn’t help herself so she backed John on the wall and attacked his lips, kissing him passionately. John was also losing his control. He grabbed Marlena’s hips and grind himself onto her. Marlena felt how aroused John was, so she let out a husky moan that made John go weak in the knees. Then they were on their floor, John immediately opened the door with Marlena kissing his neck. “Baby, if you keep doing that, I won’t be opening this door and I just have to take you right here and our neighbors will see us!” John was having a difficult time opening their door. “I dare you to take me right here, Sailor!” Marlena stroked John’s bulging arousal that elicited a moan from him. “Don’t tempt me my sexy vixen. Are you forgetting that we have a deal? I want a repeat performance of your act earlier on the fashion show!” John now opened their door and shut it. Marlena led John to the sofa and told him to relax and let her do her thing. She went upstairs to prepare her another surprise for her husband while John remain in the living room, pouring champagne on the glasses and loosening his tie. “Hey doc, where are you? I’m getting sleepy in here!” John shouted. “I’m here Sailor. I’m sorry to keep you waiting!” Marlena said as she strutted her way to John, still wearing the black formfitting gown that she was wearing in the show after party. She stood in front of John, put her right leg on his knee, revealing a red garter belt that was holding her sheer black stockings, licked her lips and started singing. “happy birthday…to you…happy birthday…to you…happy birthday…mister pres’dent…happy birthday…to…” Marlena sat on John’s lap and put her arms on his neck and licked his ears. “YOU!!!” She felt John’s arousal pulsating on her thighs. “Oh, is that a gun or are you just so happy to see me?” “Baby, I am so very happy to see you. You look hot!” John was about to take a sip of his champagne when Marlena grabbed the champagne bottle and drank the contents straight from the bottle, and when she noticed John’s gaze was on her, she poured the remaining of the champagne to her body. John was so turned on by this, so he ripped the robe and forced Marlena rather roughly to the nearby wall. He couldn’t take this anymore, he had to have her, right there and right now.
It took an eternity to find the zipper on the back of her dress. Giving up on that John reached into the slit of her dress, searching for the lace stockings that were taunting him a moment ago. Marlena moaned as his hand fumbles into sensitive territory before finding the edge of her stocking. The lace was soft and gives way to his searching hand. Her leg was softer still, and the flesh of her thigh was supple and gave way. As John’s fingers tighten her moan grew more urgent. Her little fingers reach up the back of John’s neck, pulling his head closer so she can sink her teeth into his lips. He forced her back against the nearby wall, finally finding the tiny metal tip of the zipper. The zipper gave way, humming its way down the s-curve of her back. Beneath it was just the perfect skin, her muscles hugging her bones, and the satin strap of her bra. John pulled her dress down over her arms, freeing her left shoulder. Fighting away from her kisses, he attacked the skin he found there, heading his way down her arm as he pulled it from her sleeve. Marlena let John explore her hand with his lips before he returned the way he came. This time her left breast was exposed, and he can feel the swell of it over the black satin of her bra. The sensitive nerves in his tongue told of the racing of her heart beneath her chest. He can feel the shuddering of her breath as well as listening to the way it quickened in her throat.
Her knees grew weak and she clung to John, pressing against him with the ferocity he’d been missing. She pulled out of the other arm of her dress, letting it fall away to her waist as she pulled John’s head up from her chest. Marlena’s eyes were open, huge in her face, desperate as she looked into his soul. They both started on the buttons of John’s shirt together. Alternating their hurried hands as they flutter their way down. Her hands slide inside as it opened, pulling their skin together as the hair of John’s chest met the smoothness of her. John’s grunt of pleasure might have been her name, but the word was lost as her tongue invaded his mouth. She yanked his shirt out of his pants. He tore her dress down her waists, pulling it tight over the curve of her hips. The catch of his fly was her next victim. She didn’t want to wait for her dress to be off. She was begging John with her tongue under the bone of his chin. Marlena’s teeth brushed John’s neck, and as his hands slipped beneath the skirt of her dress to prepare the way she bites down on his shoulder. “Oh god-” She moaned, breaking off the word to pant in anticipation. “Oh god-” Forgetting the stockings, John ran his hands up her inner thighs, hunting all the way up to her hips. He can taste her lipstick and a hint of her blood as they devour each other’s lips again. John could live on the feast of her. He trailed down her neck, pretending to ignore her begging. There was sweat and moisture between her legs, and the trembling of impatience.
It was more fun to catch her off guard, and John used one hand to find and torture the nipple of one breast. Her moaning gained a shrill note, and John can hear the edge that will turn into a scream when he’d got her where he want her. His other hand tore down her panties, leaving them just above her trembling knees. He took one last chance to tease her, opening her with one dry, insistent finger. As John buried himself inside her, he finally got the scream she has been building towards. Bracing his feet, John shoved her against the wall, using that to help support her weight as he licked the taste of her off his finger. Marlena wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Hands were digging into John’s back, nails scratching into his skin. John relished the sensation. Pain was the counterpoint to pleasure and the expression of their desperation. He leaned in, pressing up inside of her for everything that he had before pulling away. She was on her tiptoes in her heels, grinding against John as he created a space between them. But John can’t stay there, his control was starting to slip away into the warmth of her. He started to speed up, and for one insane moment he pictured the their door opening behind them – Belle and Brady standing there open-mouthed, shocked to see their parents in a very compromising position.
John had to move faster, she was starting to tighten around him, and it would be a shame to let her come alone. Marlena’s eyes were half-closed and the sweetness of her perfume was fading to the reality of sweat with its own sweetness. “Harder.” She demanded as she dug her hands into his shoulders. “John- harder…” John slipped one hand down and up under her skirt, holding his thumb against her, teasing her as her body shifted. Her moaning deepened, coming from her chest now, and he was moaning with her. He was lost with her. The world condensed to her and the wetness inside of her. Her hands started to spasm, and the shudder worked its way up to her shoulders. She tightened around John and he moved faster, pressing his thumb against her harder, each motion exploding the intensity as her eyes snapped open. Those damned hazel eyes reached in to clench around John’s heart as she involuntarily clenched down around him. Her scream doesn’t even come from her throat. It was from somewhere inside those eyes. Her pupils expanded to fill John’s vision, black taking over as he let go, releasing hot and wet inside of her as John echoed with a scream of his own. Their hearts raced, mutually struggling to come back from oblivion. He couldn’t tell her the feeling that settled over him. The way he felt whole as her head rested against his neck. A solitary drop of sweat ran down her chest and mixed with my own. John’s open palm rested against the cold wall. The skin of her back was too heated to even feel the chill anymore. The air conditioner has been defeated by the heat between them. They slumped together, panting against the wall. They don’t have anything to say, but their eyes spoke volumes. Hers told of satisfaction and victory. Marlena knew what she does to John. How he could make love to her for eternity and never be bored. Never be done. John wondered what his gave up to her. He let himself wonder as he nuzzled her neck. The sweat curled the tiny hairs at her hairline, and the perfect knot was falling in dark curls down her neck. The goddess glows under his touch. Radiating her light through him. After a minute or two, John pulled out form Marlena. “That was the best birthday gift ever. I love you Mrs. Marlena Black, with all my heart and soul. Forever and ever.” John said as he kissed his wife once more. “And I love you too, my husband. Oh God. That was great.” Marlena replied between her pants of exhaustion. John carried her up to their room and settled her on their bed. They slept naked under the covers, promising each other that they will see each other in their dreams.
Next morning, John woke alone on the bed. He was panicked to death when he saw that his wife was not on the bed. He jumped and grabbed his robe and started looking for his wife. He went downstairs to the kitchen but he didn’t find her there. He looked all over the house, the balcony, the study, Belle’s room, Brady’s room, the guestroom, but there was no Marlena. He returned to their room and checked her things. She didn’t left for the office, he was sure of that since her briefcase was still in the living room. Then he heard the water running in the bathroom. The door creaked open, but he felt no need to announce his presence directly. John hummed as he pulled Marlena’s robe off the edge of the door. It was silk, West Indian, black with rich lavender embroidery. He held it to his face for a moment, and Marlena wondered if he remembered that perfume from their trip to Paris.
“Shalimar,” He remembered with a suggestive smile. “Smells better on you-” John sat on the edge of the tub and stroked her cheek with a lazy hand. “Most perfumes do.” John’s hand traced down the arm that she left on the edge of the tub, but he was most gratified to find her knee. John ran his hand through the bubbles, all the way down her calf to her ankle, as he was working his way back up he leaned over to kiss her cheek. “I was worried. You were out of my sight when I woke up.” Marlena laughed and reached for his robe with a damp hand. John joined her laughter as he moved towards her lips, her neck was silky soft from the bath. “I’m sorry. I never meant to scare the hell out of you.” She splashes me playfully and takes her knee out of my reach. I captured her teasing mouth and pressed her down into the bath. “Maybe I won’t let you speak.” “Sounds like a good idea to me.” Marlena teased me as she pulled herself up slightly in the bath. Her breasts were still hiding under the layer of bubbles, only the thin translucence of soap between John and the unmatched beauty of her nude body. Her hand stroked its way down the open front of his robe. Her fingers traced my lips, letting me taste the jasmine water on her skin. “I want you.” John responded without preamble. John pulled his hands down beneath the bubbles to Marlena’s breasts. “This is what a real woman feels like.” Licking her lips as John found the sensitive places and explored them with knowing fingers. He knew the curve of her breast, and the way to caress it so that she couldn’t think about anything else. The water soaked up the sleeves of his robe and he bit down into my bottom lip.
“I don’t think ‘real’ describes you accurately-” John whispered as he nibbled down the side of Marlena’s neck. “Exceptional-” His hands squeezed harder, coaxing a moan unbidden from her throat. “Stunning-” One hand slipped down her stomach, cupping the rise of her hipbone. John pulled her up, pulling them together against the rim of the tub. The cold marble was such a shock that they were both catching their breath. “Gorgeous-” His thumb grazed across her left nipple, teasing it to a point as he rises up on his knees. “And oh so very tempting-” He lowered his mouth to the rise of Marlena’s breasts and bit into them, there was a hunger in his voice that couldn’t be faked. Something John only has for her. “And you want me.” Marlena answered with quiet certainty as she wrapped her arms around the back of John’s neck. He kissed her upper lip, slipping inside her mouth with a questing tongue. Marlena knew the answer to her question, but she pulled us apart. John undid the belt of his robe, letting it fell on his back.
Deciding she’d rather have his robe off, she pulled herself up in the bath exposing her breasts just over the rim of the tub and entirely captivating John’s attention. Smiling knowingly as she followed his gaze, Marlena left a trail of kisses down my chest. They reached for his pants together, water sloshing over to the floor. She rose back to his neck, biting curve of his ear playfully. John laughed, feeling the flush of pride and arousal reddened his face. He sucked on the soft flesh of her neck, feeling a free tendril of hair brush his cheek as it escaped from the twist on her head. Marlena’s hand reached boldly into his fly, reminding him just how well she can read his breathing as she manipulated me. He let her teased him as he enjoyed the ripeness of her breasts as they rested on the rim of the tub between them and came close enough to touch his chest he knew he can resist her long enough to be what she wanted. There was a dark hunger in the back of her eyes because he didn’t even have the good sense to finish her off. Marlena pressed their bodies together, realizing that the positioning was going to need to change. John was kneeling there, nearly panting with arousal and I was already out of my clothes. Marlena pushed him back and stood up, listening to the cascade of water off of her body. Instead of standing in response, he nuzzled her thighs, finding the most sensitive place to flick out his tongue. Marlena grabbed his head, digging her fingers into his hair as she felt the moan fight out of her throat.
He remained there a moment, pulling Marlena into his mouth to tease her between his teeth and lips. Her legs trembled and she had to grab the wall with one hand to keep her balance. “Oh god-” Fell from her lips as the flash of heat runs up her stomach. John decided not to let up, and instead of moving his way up her body, he remained where he was. And he knew exactly what he was doing with his tongue. He sucked, catching Marlena between the softness of his lips and the teasing wall of his teeth. He pulled her down to sit on the edge of the bathtub, thoughtfully noticing that her legs were shaking under the maddening touch of his tongue. Marlena leaned back, keeping hold of his head with one hand as she held on to the wall behind her. There was no containing her moan of pleasure or the desperate trembling of her body. She closed her eyes, losing the ability to feel anything but his touch. His hands crawled up her hips, keeping her right where he wanted me. There was a beauty in the way her body arced back, an earthly expression of the incredible glory of her. Marlena was losing fast, spiraling up to where John wanted her. Her fingers dug into hi hair, pulling at his scalp but she only spurred him onward. His name slipped out before, but this time she was going to scream it. Speeding up together, he let the need in her breathing guide him. John watched as her head rolled across her shoulders. Marlena’s blonde hair curled in the steam from the bath and the graceful line of her neck twitched as she screamed. It started without meaning but coalesced into John’s name. Her eyes snapped open, and the sudden contraction of her body nearly knocked her back into the bath. He caught her and held her steady, kissing the hollow between her breasts as he felt the expansion of her chest. Oxygen can’t seem to come fast enough and she dropped her head to his shoulder.
Running his hands over the s-curve of her back, he could still smell the jasmine of the bath water. The taste of her was on his lips as he licked up the beads of moisture from her skin. Letting her take her time to recover would be worth it and he had never needed any encouragement to play with her body. He stood up slowly, licking the water from Marlena’s body as he goes. She took a slow breath and embraced the way John has left her head spinning. Pushing him back against the sink, she pressed into the friction of his chest. His hands slid in the skim of water left on her skin. She could hear the stereo from their next door neighbor’s living room, the orchestra races like his heart as she pressed her forehead to his chest. His skin was salty with sweat and she chased up to his chin with her lips. “I want you.” Marlena growled out as she stripped him of his pants. She pushed him down to the tiled floor, straddling his waist as she lowered herself down over his chest. She kissed his forehead and ran the tip of her tongue ever his temple down to his cheek. John sucked on her upper lip and she could taste herself as his tongue led hers into his mouth. His hands found her breasts and caught her nipples. John squeezed into them until she bit his neck in retaliation. Laughing as she gasped in shock, they found each other’s mouths again. He was becoming more aroused, wanting more of her as his stamina roared back to him. John shoved her down his body, grinding their hips across each other. He was swollen with desire and she lifted herself from him, letting him slide inside. Widening in pleasure, his dark eyes reminded her of what connection is. Their bodies were secondary, they serve only to act out the pantomime of their souls. Being within her was the kind of sensation heaven was made out of. John may not have earned a place there, but in this brief tragedy of life he knew what it felt like. Marlena surrounded him with warmth, the kind of gentle heat that burned through his skin. Her teeth danced across his chest, teasing before she made her way back to his chin. Holding steady, she denied him the friction of motion.
She liked the upper hand, the sense of power in knowing that all she had to do was move her hips to deliver him to ecstasy. Her lips curled into a wicked smile as she leaned up from his chest. It was too warm in the bathroom to feel cold, even with the tile beneath his back. Marlena rested her hands on his chest as she pulled off of him and exposed me to the air for just a moment. It was long enough to send a shiver down his spine before she slid back down. Rocking forward again, she kept her body close to his chest and locked her arms beneath his shoulders. Finding his lips again was her urgent plea to have more of their skin in contact. His hands grabbed her hips, tracing down over the fullness of her nude bottom. Marlena’s knees were bent to the floor and as she released me to the air again, he slipped his hands between them so he could find her nipples again. This time the pressure of his fingers earned a moan from deep within her chest. John’s hands left Marlena’s breasts to cradle her shoulders, he flipped them over, turning her to the tile that was still warm from his back. He thrust into her as soon as he found the leverage, eyes gleaming black and hungry. Bending back her legs gently, he found the angle he preferred and dived within her. Their positioning was instinctual because they knew how their bodies fit. Teasing around the curve of her breast, he took the tip of it and sucked it into the warm wetness of his mouth. His hips grind against her and moaning does little to relieve the tingling sensation rising up from her hips. Thrusting deep, he caressed her with the firm thumb of his right hand. John wanted her to tighten around him, to enjoy his presence as much as he needed to be within her. It was impossible to allow him her body without pulling him into her heart. He saw that in her eyes, heard it in the way she couldn’t stop whispering his name. “Doc-” John’s voice held an offer, as much as he had to give he’ll pour into her. The tingling exploded, sending her nerves into a storm of electricity. Black eyes begged her, and the smell of his cologne reminded her of the hundred times she had been in this place. Her body was running without her mind, heart steering her towards the wanting. She was tired of being empty, tired of trying to remember what love tasted like. She crushed their mouths together, arching against the weight of his chest and suddenly- finally- she was not empty anymore. Lust burnt away in the purity of her scream. John was lost to her, his body traded ejaculation for the sensation of fulfillment. Marlena returned his gesture, enfolding him in her arms as though she could pull all of him within her. Their lungs emptied together and in that moment they were both dead. They have died together and resurrected each other as feeling returned to our bodies. Marlena’s trembling lips kissed John’s neck and he felt tears burnt his eyes. Love has made and exchanged in the space of a heartbeat and consequences were an eternity away.
