Ben put a finger to her lips. “He won’t,” he whispered.

Elise trembled; her body wanted him. Ben stroked her breasts, igniting the ache to have him. Elise rocked against him, feeling the skimpy panties she’d put on with the dress growing damp.

His eyes flashed with heat when he noticed them. “Tell me you have more of these,” he groaned, stroking over the silky fabric.

Elise felt her body tremble. “I do now,” she whispered.

Ben caressed over the narrow band at her hip. “You have the most gorgeous body,” he said, his eyes watching her reverently, as if she were some artifact or piece of art.

“Ben,” she pleaded, though she didn’t know what she wanted—for him to take her to bed or for him to take her right here before she came undone.

He slipped the creamy silk gown over her body. The cool fabric settled against her skin before gathering around her hips. Her nipples brushed against the fabric, making her tremble.

“Does that help?” he asked.

Overcome with emotion, Elise leaned to him for a kiss. His lips attacked hers, his tongue forceful, demanding. Elise held on to his shoulders, yielding to her desires. He gripped her breasts, his thumbs flicking across her hard peaks, making her crazy with need. Lowering his mouth, he nipped at them through the fabric while his cock seemed to harden against her. The tingle inside her began to grow, pulses of heat and yearning spreading through her like waves.

She lowered her hands to his waist, driven by a force she couldn’t control. After unbuckling his belt, she opened his fly and adjusted her position to tug everything down.

Ben groaned as she grasped him, which was hot and smooth and so hard. He slipped a condom from his pants pocket, then hurriedly rolled it over his girth. Elise kissed him while his fingers slid her panties aside to stroke her slippery folds. A desperate heat blazed through her, tightening her core into a knot of desire. “Ben,” she moaned, her thighs clenching with need.

Lifting her hips, Ben grasped his cock and pulled her to him. Elise felt his thickness push inside her. Slowly, he lowered her body to him, stretching her, filling her perfectly. Once all the way in, Elise felt him pulse inside her while her walls trembled around him.

“You feel so good,” Elise said on a gasp.

Ben kissed her, and Elise let loose a little cry as his hands gripped her hips, urging her to take him deeper. He began to guide her body, his pace slow and sensual, each time thrusting deep so she felt every inch of pleasure. Her climax, already coiled from the way he touched her and the scandalous way they were using the living room, pulled even tighter, drawing energy from all areas of her body, making her head feel hollow, as if all of her worries and sadness had been wiped clean and replaced with joy and hope and a reckless, thrilling kind of freedom she’d never known. Her body tingled, filling with pure pleasure and a burning, desperate ache.

Ben lowered his lips to her nipples and tugged at them through the fabric, making her whimper. Elise squeezed him tighter with each thrust, her hips welcoming him, wanting him as close to her as she could get. Ben’s teeth grazed her tips. The sudden jolt of pleasure sent her soaring upward, her tight coil of desire bursting free. Sensing her release, he drove harder, his grip on her hips almost forceful. Elise clenched her eyes shut, opening her mouth to release her silent cries. Over and over again, the waves of bliss and brightness poured into her, sending her lofting into the space beyond the room. For this moment, she was free and full of such intense joy there wasn’t room for anything else.

As she came down, the details of the room returning, Ben cupped her ass and began to move faster, his arms working her up and down.

“That was so sexy watching you come like that,” he said, his face tense with desire. Elise felt the last of her climax shudder through her. “I could spend all night right here,” he said, grinning wickedly.

A warm tickle of desire zipped over her skin. Ben pumped her body faster, his chest muscles rippling in the low light. Inside her, she felt him get even bigger, which quickly spiked her desire. With a groan, Ben arched deep, pulling her hips forcefully down. He arched again. Each time, she felt him tremble, as if his whole body had given in to the release.

After, Ben pulled her to him, wrapping his arms around her. Curling into his neck, she inhaled the scent of his warm skin and knew without a doubt she never wanted to be without him.

“Mama?” a small voice called from the hallway.

Elise’s eyes popped open. “Honey?” she said, turning to see Jaden clutching Deirdre and rubbing his eyes.

“What are you doing?” Jaden asked, rubbing his eyes.

“Kissing,” Ben said, giving Elise a wink.

“Oh,” Jaden said, watching them for what felt to Elise like the longest moment of her life.

“Is that okay?” Ben asked.

Jaden blinked. “Yeah.”

“Do you need me to come put you back to bed?” Elise asked, wondering how she could discreetly climb off Ben’s lap. At least the couch blocked them from the shoulders down. Plus, Jaden wasn’t wearing his glasses. For once, Elise had a reason to appreciate his impaired vision.

“No,” Jaden said before turning and walking back to his bedroom.

Once the door closed, Elise fell against Ben’s chest to stifle her giggles. “Oh my God,” she groaned. “We are so bad.”

Ben grinned, taking her face into his hands. “There’s a lot more where that came from,” he said, then kissed her so sweetly it was like a tease.
