"Don't worry about repaying me." Mark said and let his hair be dried. Ace seemed to tense up a little when Mark held his hips. His little patient laid against him, arms coming up around Mark's neck. It felt nice to be sitting like this. "I want to stay right here." Ace said.<br/>"Then we can stay here a little longer." Taking the chance of jostling Ace a little mark shifted to lean back against the headboard. He settled back, Ace laying against his chest. "No difference? Not sure I believe that." Mark tugged Ace's pajama pants up a little to keep from getting distracted. He made a note that he should grab some sweats with stronger waist bands. Soft kisses pressed to his neck again. Ace's lips were soft and a light suction pulled beneath his ear. Goosebumps raised on his skin, forearms prickling. Mark thought about pulling away or trying to distract him again but didn't. This wasn't going to stop if he ignored it. Even worse was that Mark didn't neccessarily want it to stop...<br/>"Not as sexy as you..." Ace's tongue ran a path up his neck and Mark closed his eyes a moment.<br/>"Ace..." He paused, taking a deep breath as his little patient sat down fully on his lap. He barely weighed a thing. "Ace, that's sweet of you to say." Mark said, looking down at him. Ace looked happy but there was a faint outline of pain in his eyes. Mark shifted, laying ace against his arm so that the weight would be off the hurt rib. The ribs were always the worst when laying down. "You're going to mark me up too much if you keep sucking my neck." Mark looked down, pulling the ipad into his lap. He watched a minute as who was this? Alex Pettyfer? Pettycoat? Alex Pettycoat was throwing his shirt in the crowd. "This is insane." Mark mumbled. "To be sexy, less is always more. If someone just strips to be paid, that isn't special. If someone takes their clothes off for one person, because they share a bond, it's special, just for them amd that is sexy." Mark realised that it sounded like a lecture. So why not keep going? No time like the present and all that. "You should be close to someone before you show your body like that. And it doesn't have to be for sex. I had a roommate in college and we walked shirtless in the dorm. But I wouldn't go to my classes like that. So before you start thinking about this-and it's okay, they're quite attractive- just know what's really important."<br/>Hmmmm good move, daddy Mark. Good move.<br/>"Just make sure you pick the right person to show all this to." Oh, not like that wasn't confusing. No, he only bathed Ace every day. That's not confusing. He sighed. This was backfiring. But how in the hell do you say /you shouldnt just settle on me because im right here, but i do like you, bu you should find other people in some impossible way and date them to make sure and we're reallynot that close in age, i'm going to die before you are and then whats going to happen but i do like you, really and will you please not stretch like a cat again because its goin to kill me/? "Be careful not to get the wrong idea about things." HAH YEAH LIKE THATS MUCH BETTER!<br/>Maybe that run for blood would be better to come sooner rather than later. Mark wanted to crawl under a rock and hide.
