Never Forgotten

Part 9

Part 9

John woke up, immediately missing the warmth of her body which was draped over his only hours before.
Reaching for her, he found the bed empty and cold. For just a second he thought that it had all been a dream, but when he inhaled, her scent was all around him. On his body, in the room and on the sheets.
Looking around he called out for her, but there was no answer.

"Marlena.." he called out again, as he got out of bed...he was starting to get worried. He didn't notice the note left on the bed, written by the woman who held his heart.

                                  ————-

Marlena quietly slipped inside her front door. It was 5 in the morning.

She had woken up 1 hour ago with John's arms wrapped around her naked body. They had made love two times and John had fallen into a peaceful slumber afterwards. But she couldn't sleep. Although her body was completely satisfied and exhausted in the best possible way, her mind was running on pure adrenaline. She had watched him sleep for a while, watching how his chest rose and fell in a slow rhythm. How his lips would curl up in a small smile, when she caressed his face with her fingers.
She didn't want to leave his warm body, but she had to go to work in a few hours and needed to change her clothes. He was sleeping so peacefully that she didn't want to wake him, and if she did, she was sure they would end up making love again, making her late for work.
She had left him a note saying she had to go home, but she hoped to see him later, and her phone number.

Now as she was walking up the stairs to her bedroom she could feel her sore muscles, the evidence of what John had done to her body. She felt her cheeks blush as her mind went back to only a few hours before.

Entering her bedroom, she saw Roman stirring in their bed. She held her breath hoping he wouldn't wake up and start questioning her about where she had been. On feather light feet she glided over the floor to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

She had to shower, not that she wanted to. She wanted his scent and the smell of their lovemaking to fill her nostrils all day. If this was the only time she would experience that kind of passion with John, she couldn't bear to wash it away. She undressed and looked at herself in the mirror. Bite marks, red marks from his aggressive mouth and prints of his rough hands covered her body. She remembered how he planted each and every one of those marks and it made her want him again.

Lost in the images of their sweaty bodies gliding along each other, the sounds they made and the feeling of his cock filling her and hitting her hidden spot deep inside her core, Marlena was startled when Roman bursted through the door.

"Doc!! Where have you been? Did you just come home?" Roman yelled as he scanned her naked form.

Marlena quickly grabbed a towel and tried to cover the very visible marks on her body.

"I.. ehh.. I...Laura needed my advice on something and we lost track of time" she lied as she fumbled with the towel. She was surprised at how easy it was to lie to her husband, directly to his face.

"What happened to your arm?" He asked as he came closer to inspect what looked like a handprint.

Marlena placed her hand over the red mark, trying to hide it. " I don't know...I must have bumped into something."

Roman looked at her with suspicious eyes.
"That's strange...It looks like it must have hurt for it to leave a mark like that!"

"Yeah...it's strange indeed!.... I need a shower, if you would excuse me" she told him. She could see his mind working, trying to figure out why she was acting so strange.
