MARKED
On a backward glance and skittish laugh, she ran up the stairs of the student block.
'Not so fast! There's no place to hide and I'll soon find you!' Jonno called out, his voice echoing off the walls. Once again, the lift was out of order.
She knew it only too well.
Maria had no time to enter the study room. Jonno's arms held her, and she saw how his arm muscles swelled under his tight T-shirt, showing off the disconcerting tattoos inked upon his deeply tanned skin. She thought them a sign of vanity, a rebellious rejection of the norm, and a sign that he would do as he wanted with his body.
It had been that way with her, along with body piercings that enabled her to decorate her body with studs and short chain links.
'You'll have to find mine!' she had laughed the first time he had asked her where she had her tats. 'They're for your eyes only!'
Now he could claim her whenever he wanted.
Jonno held Maria's face in his hands and kissed her slowly before she parted her lips and deepening kisses followed. His fingers tugged at her clothes, and she groped for him as she pressed the fingers of one hand against the swell in his jeans. She was kept from pulling away.
'Soon...you may have your ways with me soon,' he whispered.
