Mardi Keller," she told herself out loud as if giving herself confidence that this was the right thing to do. She pushed her chair back and stood up.

    The door to Stryker's office was open. Mardi poked her head inside and saw Stryker sitting at his desk with his foot bandaged and resting on the desk.

    "What happened?" Mardi asked as she rushed over to him.
    "Are you okay?"
    Stryker smiled a soft happy smile of relief.
    "I twisted my ankle when I was out running." His eyes trailed over her face and body hungrily. "I was thinking of you and not paying attention to where I was putting my feet and I fell."
    "So you are trying to blame your clumsiness on me?" Mardi ran her hand lightly along the bandaged foot. "Does it hurt a lot?"
    "Nothing hurts as much now that you're here Miss Mardi." The man was so sweet. Mardi knew in a heartbeat what she needed to do. She walked over to the office door and shut it. She looked at her watch and then at Stryker.
    "You know we have three hours left until the two weeks are up." She walked back to where he sat. Mardi lifted up her skirt and slid off her knickers.
    "What are you doing?" Stryker's eyes were riveted on Mardi as she swung one leg over and climbed on to his lap.
    "I'm going to make love you." The angle he was on made it awkward but nothing a determined woman couldn't handle.
    "I also need to show you just how seriously I am going to take the 'in sickness and health' marriage vow." She pulled at his zip and smiled as his cock bounced out to meet her hand.
    "I am going to make you forget your sore ankle." She caressed his cock slowly. "I love you Stryker Reed and I will marry you."
    "Yes!" Stryker growled out happily. 38

    "Are you excited about the fact I love you or that I have your cock in my hand."
    Stryker pulled her close to him and kissed her lingeringly.
    "I always knew you loved me and any time you touch me I'm excited." He looked over at the door. "Did you lock it?"
    "Do you care?" Mardi asked as she pulled off her blouse and unsnapped her bra. She needed Stryker's mouth on her breast.
    "Not for me but I don't want anyone looking at my woman naked but me." Stryker reached over and hit the intercom
    "Mary absolutely no interruptions and no one to comes into this office until I say."
    "You are so commanding. How I love that." Mardi eyes locked with Stryker's. "And how I love you."

    "Stryker and I are getting married," Mardi announced to her friends as they met for their usual Wednesday lunch at her office.
    "Twenty dollars please." True held out her hand to Clementine and Zipporah. "I was right. I said Mardi would get engaged in under thirty days."
    "You bet on me?" Mardi wasn't really surprised. She would have been in on the bet if it had been one of them.
    "Yep, I had you down forty-five days." Clementine handed over her twenty dollars.
    "And I said you'd just live sin." Zipporah pulled out her wallet and waved a fifty dollar note. "Anyone got change?" 39

    "I'll remember this when you lot fall in love." Mardi told them pointedly.
    "Never going to happen," Zipporah responded.
    "And I barely have time to spit after work let alone deal with a man." True found change for a fifty and handed it to Zipporah.
    "I like being single." Clementine added. Mardi shook her head at them. She was exactly the same before Stryker.
    "You're all pathetic."
    "Yet we would love to be bridesmaids as long as it's not lime green."
    "Or yellow as it makes me look sallow." Stryker walked in and went straight to Mardi.
    "Thank God you're here." She pulled him in close. "Save me from these mad women."
    "Anytime, you know that." Stryker kissed Mardi oblivious to the fact they had an audience watching.
    "Oh jeeze I sense sex in the office. Time for us to go," Zipporah murmured as she followed Clementine and True outside to office. "And then there were three for lunch." They
