Marlena held John in her arms as he sobbed. “John, it’ll be okay,” Marlena whispered as she stroked his head. “How you can say that,” he said in between sobs. “How will things ever be the way they were meant to be I’ve betrayed you in the worst possible way.” “Whose to say that this memory loss of mine wasn’t in the cards?” Marlena continued lightly stroking his hair, staring off into the distance. “Don’t say that Marlena, the fates aren’t that cruel.” He looked up at her and noticed the vacant look in her eyes. “Doc, I am truly sorry. Do you really forgive me?” “Of course, John,” she said suddenly looking him in the eyes. The spark seemed to have returned. John lightly touched her cheeks with his fingers. “Do you have any idea how much I love you?” he asked. She shook her head yes. “I don’t think you really have any comprehension. Take how much you think I love you and magnify it a thousand times and you still won’t come close.” He pulled her into a hug. “God, I love you woman.” He continued to hold her as the snow fell around them. “I’m sorry for not remembering.” Marlena said as she pulled out of his hug and started rubbing her arms. “That was out of your control Marlena.” John said as he reached over and helped her rub her arms. He was freezing, having lost sensation in his feet a long time ago. “Maybe so, but it can’t be easy for you wanting me to remember being your wife. I’m sorry that I don’t have any recollection of that. For so long all I ever wanted was for you to love me and to be your wife and now that I am I can’t remember it. I’ve been trying so hard to remember, but I can’t.” “In due time, you’ll remember Doc.” “But what if I don’t? Will you be content with things remaining this way?” Marlena’s teeth started chattering. “No, but if that’s the only way I can have you in my life, then it will have to be enough.” John pulled her into a hug to keep her warm. “John, I’m freezing. Can we go inside?” Marlena finally asked. John laughed, “I thought you’d never ask.” “You’re cold too?” He shook his head yes. “Then why didn’t you say something?” “I would have stayed out here all night freezing to death for you Marlena.” “That’s so sweet. Dumb, but sweet.” She intertwined her fingers with his and together they walked toward the hotel. Alex North stood by quietly watching them from the inside of the hotel. “Lets get you a nice hot bath and some hot buttered rum to warm you up.” John led the way into the hotel lobby. “Your arms will be enough,” Marlena said in a low voice that only John could hear. “That could be arranged,” John said as he picked up Marlena and ran with her to the elevator. Once inside the suite, John dropped Marlena on top of the canopied king sized bed. He walked over to the gas fireplace and turned it on. Instantly the room started heating up. “Oh that’s nice.” Marlena said as she rolled over onto her stomach and propped her head up on her hands. She closed her eyes, basking in the warmth of the flames. “I don’t think so Doc,” John said. “Open those eyes.” He picked up a pillow and threw it at her. “Hey now, violence isn’t called for Mr. Black,” Marlena said with a sly grin on her face. She had yet to open her eyes, but sensed that he was staring at her. “And neither is being a tease.” John slowly crawled on the bed and over to Marlena. Once he was lying on top of her, his chest to her back, he slowly lowered the weight of his body onto his. “Hey, you’re smashing me,” Marlena said as she started to laugh. “Oh yeah, you think this is funny.” John said as he started tickling her. “John Black you are not playing fair.” Marlena squirmed under him trying to escape the relentless pursuit of his fingers. “And what do you plan to do about it Marlena Black. Seems to me that the position you are in doesn’t lend well to making demands.” “Payback is a bitch. Remember that when you close your eyes tonight,” Marlena said with fire in her hazel eyes. “Do you know how special you are?” John asked as he brushed a few errant strands of blonde hair behind her ear. “No, but please feel free to tell me,” Marlena said, glad that he had stopped tickling her. “You are the most incredible woman I have ever met.” He whispered into her ear and moved his body off of her. He pulled her next to him so that he was spooning her back. “Go on,” Marlena said as she closed her eyes and snuggled her backside closer to John. “You are sexy as hell.” John wrapped one arm around her waist. “Go on.” “Beautiful beyond words, inside and out.” He slid his hand under her T-shirt and gently stroked her stomach. “Go on,” Marlena said laughing as the movement of his fingers was unintentionally tickling her. “Brilliant, compassionate, and fascinating.” “And?” “You are a wonderful mother and friend” “Go on” “Sympathetic and honest, your integrity is beyond reproach.” “Go on.” John laughed, “You’re enjoying this aren’t you? Marlena, I could go on all night about your attributes.” “Then please do.” “Okay, lets see. I think your legs are divine. I could honestly spend my life watching you walk. And then there’s your ass. Ummmmm. When you walk, the way your ass moves, man oh man. I’m a goner.” John slid one hand between their bodies and cupped her butt as he was talking. Marlena laughed, “John Black, I can’t believe that you are talking about my butt.” “Why not? Look at it. If my ass looked this good, you’d think the same thing.” He squeezed her butt. “Your ass does look great John, it always has. You take such good care of yourself, with your exercise routine. When you wear those tight bicycle shorts I have to restrain myself.” Marlena had yet to open her eyes. John laughed at her honest admission. He never knew that his physical presence had such an effect on her. He’d have to find those shorts that she was talking about and wear them. Soon. “And then there’s your breasts,” John started, noticing Marlena gasp that he said it. “They are perfect in every way. I want nothing more than to bury my head between them and become lost. I just always want to look at them, touch them, suck them.” “That’s perfectly normal,” Marlena laughed. She always knew that John loved her breasts. “And then there’s this,” John said as he cupped her roughly between her legs. “I can’t get enough of this.” He roughly stoked her and unbuttoned her pants, sliding his hands between the fabric of her underwear and her skin. Marlena moaned and moved her body closer to him and his roaming hands. “I can’t help it. I’m a hot-blooded male who has a gorgeous wife. I can’t be blamed for wanting to fuck you every moment of the day.” “Shut up John and kiss me,” Marlena said as she rolled over so that she was facing him. John took her lips roughly with his mouth. He was lost in her essence. Clothing was quickly removed as two bodies joined as one.
