With those words, I get thrown over the edge of the cliff and glide into all the clouds that are below me.
I’m screaming out Bennett’s nam, which triggers his own release.
The grunts and moans that fill my ears are like music.
For a long minute, Bennett hovers over me, almost placing his complete weight on me and it feels amazing, I never want him off me. But eventually, he does push off to get rid of the condom but he is only gone for about a minute, before he come back with a towel to clean me up.
Someway, somehow, the aftercare feels a lot more intimate that all of the other things that we have done tonight. It feels really nice being taken care of like this, instead of being treated like another slash on the bedpost.
Once I’m clean to Bennett’s standards, he climbs into bed, and takes me in arms.
I never would have thought that a man like this would be a cuddler, but I’m glad that I was wrong. The second that his arms are wrapped around me, I feel at peace, safe and weirdly enough like I’m home.
It I wasn’t attached before, I am now. That should be a sign to pull away from this and from Bennett, but I don’t. This is where I want to be and nothing is going to make me pull away.
Absolutely nothing.

BENNETT
When I was twenty, I experimented with a few things. The world was at my disposal I had money that no twenty year old should have and I had unresolved shit that I didn’t even want to think about. So for a small period in my life I turned to drugs. It wasn’t the brightest decision in my life, but it was something that got me through the day.
During that period, I experienced some major highs. I thought at I was at the top of the fucking world and nobody could touch me. I knew hat one I stopped taking whatever landed in my hands that I would never experience a high like that every again.
I was so fucking wrong.
Those highs are nothing compared to the one that I’m currently experiencing. And I have two things to thank for that. Being CEO of my families company and Ella.
I expected to feel like I was on the top of the damn world when I became CEO. That was already a mindset that I was in. What I didn’t expect was for the woman that married to get the title to hit me like a damn bulldozer.
I expected the next two yeas to be simply be time that I wouldn’t think about when it was over. In my head, I would be grateful to Ella for doing this, for marrying me to help me out get what I wanted but that was it. I didn’t think anything would come out of Ella’s and I’d relationship. I thought at most we would be friends at the end of this. Not emotions. No feelings, and not titles. `
But like I said, the woman is a damn bulldozer and knocked all of those thoughts out the damn window without even thinking about it.
I should have expected it, since she is the one woman that was able to do what other’s haven’t. I should have known from day one that this woman was going to be more than just an assistant. More than just a fantasy. More than anything that my mind could think of.
It’s been three months since we gotten back from our honeymoon, and in those three months a lot of things have changed.
Not only has my role of CEO officially been cemented and I officially moved into my father’s office, things with me and Ella are also different.
Before the wedding we had come up with a set of rules that we would abide by during our two years of marriage. When those rules were set up, I thought that they could with difficulties. Ella was my assistant and I was essentially hiring her to e my wife. She was my employee and I couldn’t cross the lines with her. But shit changes, and now I crave to cross each and every line with her.
The rules are forgotten and there are days where both of us forget that we are only married for convenance and not love.
Since getting back from the honeymoon we have been acting like an actual married couple, something that not only took us by surprise but also Henry and the older kids. I don’t know what they thought would come from this, but I doubt that it included catching Ella and I making out in the kitchen before breakfast or right after dinner.
But from what I’ve noticed, everyone is embracing it.
Henry says he hates having two more people to cater to but, from the way he smiles whenever Ella or Charlie enter the room, I know that it isn’t true. But when it came to embracing things, I knew Henry would be easy.
My worries were mostly with the kids.
In the last ten years, I’ve never brought someone into their lives like this. I’ve never had a girlfriend long enough for them to meet. So I knew there was going to be some issues with having Ella and Charlie coming to live here.
But they proved me wrong.
All four kids have welcomed Ella and Charlie and have made them feel like they are part of the family. They have included them in their every day life so much that is has started to get hard remembering how things were before Ella and I got married.
