Four weeks later (May 24, 1999)- morning...

Stephanie's POV
I have been living in this mansion for a while now; it hasn't been easy living with Mark, but over time, I've grown to love him. I explored Mark's mansion, wondering what I should do today. "Maybe I could read a book," I thought. I entered the library and contemplated which book to read. "Mark is a reader. He's got lots of books about magic and horror novels. Nice variety of stuff to read, I guess. I wonder if he has Dracula," I said. I found it on the shelf, sat in a chair, and started to read.

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder as I was reading. I looked up and turned around. It was Mark; he was dressed in his robes. "I see you love Dracula, Stephanie," said Mark. "Yes I do. It is one of my favorite books. I didn't hear you come in," I said. "I tend to have that effect on people. It is one of my many powers," he said. "I have to go get a shower now, Mark. By the way, I am not as angry at you anymore. I hate my father for what he's done and I'm still not sure if I have feelings for you," I said. Mark caressed my cheek and said, "My dear Stephanie, you are not to blame here. He chose his own path." Mark kissed my cheek and disappeared from the library with a sweep of his robes. I then went upstairs to the bathroom.

I went into the bathroom and turned on the water. I grabbed a towel from the closet and set it on the counter. I got in the shower and washed myself. I just let the soap and water run over my body and thought about Mark in there with me. "Oh stop it, Stephanie. You're not quite ready to start thinking about that," I told myself. After a few minutes of washing my body and hair, I turned the water off and changed my clothes to a black crop top and cutoff jean shorts. I used my hairdryer to dry my hair, then braided half of it around my head while leaving the other half down.

Undertaker's POV
I had just gotten out of the shower in the other upstairs bathroom. "Stephanie should be done in the shower by now," I thought. I was just about to get dressed when Stephanie came in my room. Stephanie gasped when she saw me in just my towel.

"Enjoying the view, my love?", I asked. "Well damn, Mark. You're teasing me," she replied. I could see that Stephanie was blushing, even though she wouldn't admit it. "Well, I guess I'll leave you to get dressed," said Stephanie. "Actually, could you meet me downstairs in the living room, Stephanie? I'd like to go out to the pool with you," I said. "I just got dressed; sure, I'll go to the pool with you, Mark," said Stephanie as she undid her hair.

evening...

Stephanie's POV
Whoa, I just got a great view. Mark has started to be less cruel to me. "I think I might be liking him," I thought as I put on my purple and black bathing suit. Once I got my suit on, I headed downstairs.

Mark was dressed in his black swimming shorts and was waiting for me downstairs. "Stephanie, you look stunning in that suit," he said when I got there. He opened the door and I saw a beautiful pool that actually looked more like a waterfall and small pond.

The palm trees and rocks were a nice accent and made the whole back of the mansion less dark and traditional

The palm trees and rocks were a nice accent and made the whole back of the mansion less dark and traditional. The pool was at least five feet deep on the deeper end. The whole back area of the mansion was fenced in with black pressure treated wood, which I loved, even though any neighbors around were pretty spaced out anyway.

We were standing at the deep end of the pool and I said, "Shall we?" "Yes we shall, Stephanie," Mark said before he pushed me in. I screamed a bit when I hit the water. I just laughed and said, "Very funny, Mark." Mark climbed down the ladder into the pool and we swam for a bit. I swam away from Mark and I said with a giggle, "Try and catch me, Mark." Mark smiled and said, "I sure will." Mark ended up catching me at the edge of the pool. He took me in his arms and we used our legs to keep us afloat. Mark's hands traveled slowly up and down my body. My breathing started to get heavy as I held myself up on the edge with one arm. My other arm was around Mark's waist. Mark and I moved over to the pool steps and got out. We sat on one of the sturdy lounge chairs on the pool deck.

"Now we continue," Mark said. Mark held me in his arms again. "Close your eyes, my Lady," he said. I closed my eyes and Mark's lips locked with mine. His tongue brushed my lips; I moaned a bit and my lips opened up to allow entry. Mark's tongue entered my mouth; our tongues tangled and fought for dominance. Mark planted kisses down the side of my face and down my neck. My head tilted back and I moaned in pleasure. My hands traveled up and down Mark's well-toned body and ran through his beautiful long hair; Mark's hair was wet, but that didn't matter. Mark's lips reached that sweet spot where my neck and shoulder met. He gently bit down on my skin and smiled against it, triggering a low growl from the both of us. Mark's lips met mine again and we made out for another couple of minutes. We finally broke the kiss. "I love you, Mark. You are the most mysterious man I have ever met," I said. "Thank you, Stephanie. You are the only woman that could bring a man like me to his knees. My Lady of Darkness will rule alongside me for all eternity," said Mark with an evil smile. I gave that same smile as well.

We headed back into the house and got dressed for dinner. I thought to myself as I got dressed, "That was a heated moment; I hope to have more of those with my Lord of Darkness..."
