Taking a deep breath I waited while she weighed my explanation. I'd keep begging if she needed more. I was not opposed to getting on my knees if it would stop her.
"Dogs?"
I wanted to laugh in relief.
"Yes dogs. Stray dogs were blocking Jess's path between the door out back and her car. She couldn't find Rock. I wouldn't have even gone and helped her if I hadn't needed a little more time before I got near you again." A small frown puckered her forehead.
"When you say worked up?" she paused
"I mean, hard as a rock Low."
A small smile spread across her face. I didn't wait for her to say anything else. I closed the distance between us and grabbed her face in my hands before crushing my mouth to hers. She made a small little sound of surprise but then her hands ran up my arms and gripped my shoulders. She was harder to reach standing barefoot. Those heels had helped out a lot earlier. Reaching down I grabbed her waist and picked her up until she wrapped her legs around my waist.
Oh. Yeah.

It dawned on me that Marcus was opening the door just as he backed us up inside the dark apartment. I'd been so lost in his kiss I missed the fact he'd walked up the stairs carrying me. I opened my eyes long enough to see him walk over to the couch and sink down onto it with me straddling him. Pulling back he stared at me intently.
"We're going to have to stop soon. I'm about at my limit," his voice was raspy.
"Limit?" I asked before raining kisses down the side of his jaw and neck.
"Ah, my limit Low. You know," he was having trouble talking and it made me feel powerful. Feeling brave I flicked my tongue out and quickly licked at his neck. He smelled so good. Moaning he shifted under me until his erection was pressed against the crotch of my panties. The sensation was too much and I cried out in shock and pleasure.
"And that's my limit," Marcus said pushing me off him and standing up. I started to think I'd done something wrong again but the way he was breathing like he'd just ran a marathon I figured that must be good.
"What's wrong?" I asked staring up at him wanting him to just come back down here. I'd found something I really liked.
Marcus closed his eyes tightly and let out a loud groan.
"Low, baby please pull your dress down," he pleaded.
Glancing down I noticed my dress had ridden up around my waist.
"Oops," I said giggling and pulling it back down.
Marcus let out a small laugh and then met my questioning gaze.
"Low tonight was amazing. Except for the part where I hurt you and you ran away and scared the bejesus out of me.
Being with you is incredible. I want to do it again.
Tomorrow. And the next day," I laughed and he grinned then continued, "You get the idea. But here's the thing. I don't want to move too fast with you. I'm going to have to work on that because I'm used to moving pretty fast." Then why go slow with me? Frowning I stood up. I barely came to his shoulders when I didn't have the help of heels. I wore heels on all my shoes to give me an added boost.
"I didn't ask you to go slow."
He rubbed his face and ran his hand through his hair and let out a strange tight laugh. "I know that but I want to. You're different. And if I'm right you're really inexperienced." Warmth flooded my face. I should have known he'd be able to tell. My kisses can't be what he's used to.
"No Low, you misunderstood me," he reached out to touch me and stopped himself, "Listen to me. No one, I mean no one has ever got me so worked up with kisses alone.
You're perfect. Everything about you is perfect." Well that made me feel better. It made me feel powerful. I liked it.
I took a step toward Marcus and he laughed softly. "Don't tease me Low," he pleaded.
Sticking my lips out in a pout I frowned up at him. "Okay fine. I'll leave you alone."
Stepping around him I headed for Cage's bedroom.
