It had been so long since heâs seen Lexie Grey naked. Itâs been over years, and somehow it oddly doesnât feel that way at all. His SON is sleeping in his own bedroom, while the mother of his child is naked. His own hues scan over her body, sheâs pale. Just like before. Her body was different, a good kind of different. Itâs the same, yet different at the same time. Fingers roam along her frame, her body was still wet from the shower.Â
The moment her back hits the bed, heâs pulling his grey shirt off his frame, tossing it to the floor, in a pile that will only continue to add. Her body bounces, and heâs in complete awe. How did he ever let her slip away? Without even trying to fight for her? Blue hues go dark, while he crawls onto the bed, hovering over her. Grinning lightly, he anchors his mouth onto her shoulder, moving towards her collar bone. Hands are running along her body yet again, the ache to touch her had been growing.Â
  âYouâre beautiful, Lexie Grey.â
He shouldâve known. The moment he had gotten the call, he shouldâve known that this was the outcome. A crazed fan. How could he have been so blind? So clueless? Having them so far away from him⊠He was an idiot. Through, and through. Markâs glued to his cell phone, praying to god his assistant is working her magic to getting something out of this woman. Fingers wrap around her arms, gripping them lightly.
   âSheâs a fan, for awhile. Bridget had the   bright idea to write to her, get her off the   mailing list. She hadnât sent anything in   lately, I shouldâve known.â
The phone goes off, and they get an address. He tells the police, looking over at Lexie with pleading eyes. She has to forgive him.Â
She watches him take his shirt off and sheâs in awe of whatâs underneath. She hasnât seen him shirtless in years, and she canât say heâs changed much, other than the amount of muscle heâs put on, and managed to keep on despite his surgery. Heâs broad, fit, and she feels small underneath him as he crawls over her...and she loves it. Her hands move automatically to his sides, her tiny, cold fingers grazing his warm skin, as his hands make her feel alive.
She tips her head back, letting out the softest of moans as his lips find her shoulder. She fights shutting her eyes, canât bear the thought sheâll open them and heâll be gone. She needs him here, has wanted him here for years. Regrets leaving again. Adding to the millions, billions, of times sheâs regretted it thus far. This feels so natural--their son in the other room, fast asleep, his father between her legs, still half-clothed, with his mouth on her skin. His words make her suck in a breathe, and she feels five years younger again.
Her hands reach for his sweatpants. She doesnât want to rush it but she canât stop herself. She wants to feel him entirely against her. She starts pushing them down with her toes, down his thighs as best she can.
âThank you.â
Heartfelt murmurs, she means it. She hopes he means it.
Lexie has a moment of fear as heâs telling the police the address, is she dumb enough to have given her return address on her letters? Is this a trap? She doesnât entertain the thoughts too long because the police are wrapping up their ripping apart of her apartment, and packing up to find this crazy fanâs house. She catches his eyes, those blues she canât ever let go of, the oneâs he shares with their child.
âHow crazy is she? What kind of things did she say?â
Lexie doesnât know why she asks, doesnât know if she really wants to know. Something inside her tells her she doesnât, but she also wants to be prepared for what they might find.
âIs she the kind of person who would...hurt someone? Do her letters make her sound that crazy?â
Sheâs torn between being upset about his lifestyle and the fact that in the end thatâs what made this happen, and being mad at herself for ever leaving him so long ago, because maybe if sheâd never left, theyâd be safe in a house in the suburbs with security 24/7 in a gated community. More tears fill her eyes. This is her punishment, her payback. She looks up at him. This is her fault for living in an unsafe place, for leaving their son at risk.
