While his downfall was being planned by those he considered friends, Marcus enjoyed the intimacy he shared with Kinsley at the moment.
The hot water cascading upon their naked bodies washed away the soap they had lathered each other in. Marcus let his hands roam Kinsley's chest freely while he humped and grind her from behind.
"Ahh, Marcus faster." Kinsley moaned. "Move… faster." She said between heavy breaths.
Marcus smirked as he lowered his hands towards Kinsley's hips, he then took a few steps back, arching her back as he continued to slide his penis between her legs and against her pussy lips. He began thrusting faster, causing Kinsley to moan loudly as she lowered a hand to touch herself.
"Just like that Marcus, just… like that."
"This is hard," Marcus said with a chuckle. "It feels too good to hold."
"You better not stop Marcus," Kinsley said with a smirk as she looked back at Marcus with lustful eyes. "Or I'll make you regret it." She then began to thrust herself back against his groin. The clapping became faster and louder as the duo continued.
"Ha, shit," Marcus said with an exasperated breath, he could feel himself growing closer to finishing. A tingling sensation circulated all through his body, his mind struggling to focus on anything but how good he felt.
Even with all the power in the world, his flesh was still weak. However, the universe shows favorable light upon Marcus on this day, as Kinsley had an orgasm first.
Her toes curled up as she gripped both the wall and Marcus' penis. "Ahh-hhh, haaa, Marcus!" She shouted lovingly as she came, her fluids covered both his penis and the floor of the shower.
Marcus breathed a sigh of relief as he came right after she did. "Three times." He said between exasperated breaths, "I made you come three times…"
Kinsley chuckled after a moment of silently trembling. "I know, she said softly, but Marcus…"
"Hmm?" Marcus curiously raised an eyebrow as he hugged Kinsley from behind.
"I… I look like a prune right now." Kinsley replied with a loving smile.
Marcus paused for a moment, slowly looking down at his wrinkly hands. He then laughed. "I guess we get carried away." He said between laughs.
Kinsley shook her head playfully as she straightened up. "It makes me wonder," she said softly as she turned to face Marcus. "How good it would feel to have you inside of me."
Marcus' eyes widened. "You, you are just saying that are you?" He asked his tone a mixture of hope and disbelief.
Kinsley shook her head as she placed a hand on Marcus' chest. "No, I… I know we're both virgins still, but I want to try it at some point, real sex I mean." She said softly, placing a soft kiss on Marcus's lips.
"Like now… or…"
Kinsley shrugged. "I don't know, whenever you want to try." She said softly, wrapping her arms around his naked body.
Marcus felt an overwhelming surge of emotions as Kinsley held him. The closest he felt with her, was the warmth and safety she provided him. She had become his anchor in a sea of rough waters.
It was then Marcus thought back to his earlier vow, to promise Kinsley his loyalty.
"I would love that," Marcus said honestly, tracing his hand down her back. "But before then, I want you to know that I think I love you Kinsley, I want you to be my future."
Kinsley's eyes widened as she stepped back from Marcus. "You… y-you…" she began stuttering over the word, you, over and over.
Marcus tilted his head curiously, he hadn't expected that response. A faint hint of doubt began creeping into his mind, poking at his resolve.
Had he fucked up?
Kinsley covered her mouth as tears began streaming down her cheeks. "You, do you mean that?" She asked, her voice breaking, "Marcus you can't just, you… do you mean that?" She asked again.
Marcus didn't know if this was a good or bad situation he was in. But he decided to triple down, "Yes, I mean that, I know we haven't been together for long, but you're what I want, what I need."
Kinsley began breathing heavily as she reached for something to hold onto. "Oh my god, oh my god, Marcus." She said emotionally, her expression showed joy and confusion, yet she cried uncontrollably.
"Did I… say something wrong?" Marcus asked worriedly, stepping closer towards the reeling Kinsley, holding her by the waist.
Kinsley shook her head in his embrace. "No." She said softly between breaths. "It's just, that I was so worried you were going to leave me for Kira, I hoped that wasn't the case." She explained. "But, to hear that you love me, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
Marcus breathed a sigh of relief as he brought Kinsley closer to himself. "Well, you don't need to worry about that anymore, because I'm promising myself to you, and I don't go back on those, for anyone."
Kinsley continued to cry tears of relief and joy as Marcus held her. "I love you too Marcus, I was scared to admit it, but I love you too."
Marcus smiled. "So what now?" Marcus asked curiously.
Kinsley smiled as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Whatever you want, Marcus, we can do whatever you want."
They stood in the shower for a moment longer, the warm water cascading down and cleansing their bodies. Kinsley held Marcus tightly, resting her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus could feel her racking heart pounding against his chest, it was clear to him now why he liked Kinsley.
She was normal.
There was no hidden agenda, she didn't manipulate him, she wasn't pressuring him, she just loved and cared for him.
It was normalcy, the very thing he craved.
By the time the duo stepped out of the shower, wrapping in towels and smiling widely. There was a sense of clarity in the air. For the first time, Marcus could see a path forward.
And it was wonderful.
"What are you all giddy about?" Kinsley teased as she poked Marcus's butt. "You act like you just found gold."
Marcus chuckled as he looked back at Kinsley. "Hush woman, and let me enjoy the moment, or should I tease you about crying in the shower?"
Kinsley smirked as she opened her towel and hugged Marcus from behind. "I'm a woman, it's okay for me to cry, but seeing you smile so hard is honestly adorable."
Marcus rolled his eyes as he enjoyed Kinsley's embrace. "Psh, I'm still me, just a simple man trying to make his way through life."
Kinsley lay as she kissed Marcus's neck. "Well, tomorrow is Saturday." She whispered. "After practice, do you want to go on a date?"
Marcus nodded. "Yeah, I've been craving some fish and… fries."
"Chips." Kinsley corrected.
"No, fries."
"It's chips, Marcus," Kinsley said sternly.
Marcus frowned. "So then what do you call actual chips?"
"Crisps?" Kinsley said in a confused tone. "Marcus, are you seriously choosing to die on this hill?"
Marcus nodded. "Oh absolutely, now that you're my woman, I have to Americanize you so our kid can be normal."
Kinsley blushed at the word; kid, but chuckled at the word; normal. "We aren't having kids until I retire, so you have until then." She teased.
"When are you retiring?" Marcus asked curiously.
"I'll say forty, maybe forty-five if I push it."
Marcus chuckled as he shook his head. "That's if you're still fertile by then."
Kinsley rolled her eyes as she pushed Marcus away. "I will, and even if I wasn't there are other methods you sponge." She said as she closed her towel. "But on a serious note, I guess we should start having these conversations now, especially since I want to have actual sex with you at some point."
Marcus shrugged. "I'm cool with whatever, I just want to be with you, and Luna if she doesn't outgrow me." He answered. "But with work, sometimes I wonder if I'll live to see twenty myself."
"You will," Kinsley said as she went to grab a pair of panties. "You have to, otherwise you'd miss how fertile I'll be in my forties."
Marcus smirked, but his mind remained lost in thought. "Yeah… " he felt a faint sense of dread in the distance, something painful was coming, almost like a death flag was raised. "Kinsley," Marcus called to her, his expression turning serious.
"Hmm?"
"I'll protect you, even against the world if I have to," Marcus said with a determined resolve.
Kinsley smiled as she approached Marcus' duffel bag, retrieving one of his t-shirts. "I know, just like I'll do my best for you." She said while slipping his shirt on. "I mean, how lucky am I to find my soulmate so early in life?"
Marcus felt the faint sense of dread grow stronger, a shiver running down his spine. "Just stay close to me when you can." Marcus said with a forced smile, "Or Luna if I'm not around."
Kinsley nodded. "Okay." She said with a warm smile. "So, if you're done being all doom and gloom, can we sleep together?" Kinsley asked with a sly smile.
Marcus sighed as he pushed aside his doubts. "You're not cute enough to be this adorable." He joked. "You're 5'10 and have more muscles than your average high school boy."
Kinsley rolled her eyes as she climbed into her bed. "Oh yeah, insult the woman you just confessed your love to, I'm sure that's just genius."
Marcus smirked as he approached Kinsley's bed. "Hey, just because I insulted you, doesn't mean I don't wanna be with you."
"Just get in bed, before you ruin a wonderful moment," Kinsley said with a chuckle.
As Marcus climbed in bed with Kinsley, he insured his crotch was on her ass, causing her to blush profusely. "I'm glad you find me enticing, but how aren't you tired?" She asked.
"Magic," Marcus replied with a chuckle.
Kinsley chuckled as she pressed her butt against his crotch. "Hmm, my little worlock." She said with a yawn. "I just hope you put that magic to use somewhere else too."
Marcus remained silent, snuggling closer to Kinsley as he wrapped his hands around her. As she lay in his embrace, Kinsley began drifting to sleep, and soon after, he did as well.

While the duo happily slept, the plot to rip them apart continued to brew in Kira's dorm.
"I think we should save that part for last," Cora said while gently tapping her thigh with a ruler. "First we should gather evidence on him."
Luna sighed. "What evidence did you have in mind? "she asked with a sad look in her eyes.
"Evidence of him hurting Kira," Cora answered. "If we can get Kira to push his buttons, to the point of making him snap at her again, we could record it."
Kira's eyes widened as they twinkled with a new scheme. "Yes, and we should do it in a place he thinks is private, so he'll say things that he wouldn't otherwise say," Kira said with a point. "If we get him to be rough with me, like grabbing my face or choking me, Kinsley would reel in disbelief and disgust."
Luna shook her head. "Marcus is a little slow, but he isn't stupid. If you suddenly start poking and pressing for a response, he will realize something is off."
Cora sighed as she crossed her arms. "Then what would you recommend?" She asked curiously.
Luna frowned as she looked at Kira. "Marcus… he has poor impulse control." She said softly. "If you could, if you… if…" it looked as if it pained her to speak any further, "If you seduce him, then maybe…"
Kira slammed her fist into her palm. "That's genius!" She said with amazement, "The answer was right there!"
Cora raised an eyebrow in confusion, "wait, how would seducing him help Kinsley see how violent he really is?"
Kira chuckled. "You're not looking at the full picture." She explained as she rose from her bed. "The goal is to separate Marcus from Kinsley, and you wanted to do that by showing Kinsley his true colors, right?"
Cora nodded.
"But that's thinking small Cora, if the end goal is to break Kinsley and Marcus up, then what does it matter HOW?"
Cora's eyes widened in realization.
