His Innocent Acquisition

CHAPTER THREE - THE ANNOUNCEMENT

What the hell am I thinking?

Mark thought to himself as he slowly savored the sweetness of Alexa's mouth. He would never do something like this. Usually it was the women who would initiate the kiss but this time it was HE who initiated it.

Alexa wrapped her arms around her neck and he pulled her closer and deepened the kiss even more. He can't deny that their chemistry is explosive and he wants to know every inch of this woman. This realization shocked him even more. This feeling is entirely new to him. He just can't point out what is so special about this girl.

Their tongues battled and Mark backed her up the nearest wall he could find. He then lifted her up and she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. This made him more turned on that his hand began travelling up to her inner thigh.

Alexa opened her eyes and realized what she was doing. I'm kissing Mark! She began panicking. She was struggling to push him away but he would let go of her. Finally, she was able to get him to release her. She was so shocked by her own behavior that after she ran a shakey hand through her hair, she marched up to him and slapped him hard. Really hard.

"How dare you kiss me?" She screeched at him. "Don't you go near me! Ever!" And turned her back to him with her hair held high and walked away. She knew that Mark was looking at her back as she was walking away and stopped. She suddenly remembered why she went looking for him. She turned around to face him and said, "My mother asked me to fetch you because dinner is about to be served." Then she quickly hurried inside.

Mark smirked and held the cheek that just got slapped. Man, that was some kiss! There was something something about her kiss that is so addicting. He wants more. He never thought that this could ever happen to him.

**Flashback**

As he was preparing for the dinner, he was wondering about his intended. What she looked like, what she's like, how she carries herself and if she's exactly how his dad described her to be.

Knock! Knock!

Mark turned around to see his father coming into his room. "Oh great you're dressed. We're expected to be at the Spencers at seven-thirty. So we should get going if we want to get there in time." Mark followed his dad down to the front door and into the car that was waiting for them.

The drive to the Spencers' only took them fifteen minutes so they were a little bit early. The butler opened the door for them and led them to the living room where they saw Theodore and Helena was waiting for them. But there was no sign of their daughter anywhere.

"Richard!" Theodore greeted, "it is so good to see you my friend. How have you been? "The older shook hands and gave each other a hug. "We have a lot of catching up to do. It's been so long since I last saw you. You remember my wife Helena."

Richard smiled at Helena and kissed the hand that she held out. "Of course I do! Helena, you look lovely as always. Theodore, Helena, this is my son, Mark. Mark, you remember Theodore and Helena Spencer."

Mark stepped forward and nodded. "Yes, its very nice to see you again." He then shook hands with Theodore and kissed Helena's hand.

"Please do seat down! Dinner will be served at 8. In the meantime, would you like something to drink?" Helena offered.

"A glass of scotch would be nice." Richard answered. Then he looked around. "Er, isn't your daughter joining us? I don't see her anywhere." He asked.

"Oh yes she is joining us." Theodore answered, "Alexa is still getting ready. She should be down in a few minutes." He then handed Richard his drink. He turned to Mark and asked, "what would you like to drink?"
