Ben knew Dillyn would feel amazing, but he couldn’t imagine how good the reality was. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead as he fought for control. His eyes opened. He needed to see Dillyn’s face.

His voice was strained. “Are you okay?”

Dillyn’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as a tear spilled over onto her cheek. “I’m better than okay. For the first time in my life, I’m making love.”

Her smile was radiant.

Ben kissed away her tears as he began to move in and out of her. When her muscles clenched around him, he lost all restraint. Still, Ben did his best to make Dillyn feel beautiful and well-loved.

The power of their orgasm was nothing like either had ever experienced. Long after Dillyn had fallen asleep in his arms, Ben lay awake. He made a vow that he would love and protect her for the rest of his life. She may need some time to realize how she felt about him, but Ben knew. He’d always known.

Chapter 23

Ben faced away from Dillyn as she got out of her truck and walked up into his yard. She had no idea what he was doing, but he was shirtless and an incredible sight to behold.Damn.He sure does wearthose jeans well.In this unguarded moment, Dillyn inhaled slowly and tilted her head slightly while admiring the view.What has this man done to me?The impossible. He’d awakened a monster. Over the past couple of weeks, all Dillyn wanted to do was be with him. She went from dreading being touched to wanting his hands all over all the time. Dillyn craved him.Every time they made love, Ben helped Dillyn learn more about the things that turned her on. Dillyn liked being on top. The expression on his face when she rode him hard made her feel powerful.The reverse cowgirl was pretty fun too.Dillyn caught herself in mid-thought. She didn’t seem to have any control over them. She smiled inwardly. With a slight look of guilt on her face, Dylan glanced about as if she’d been caught checking him out. Luckily, everyone was still inside. She giggled like a schoolgirl.Seriously,a body like his should be against the law.“Stop it, Dillyn,” she chided herself yet continued to study him.

The sun was hot and bearing down on Ben, and every single sinewy muscle glistened from sweat. Ben took his shovel and dug it into the ground.Each time the metal connected with the earth, his muscles tightened.Dillyn began to negotiate with herself.Maybe I could talk him into a quickie.

Steven had been dedicated to his fitness. He spent five days a week at the gym, but he never looked like Ben. Dillyn rolled her eyes. Why Steven popped into her head was a mystery.

Dillyn continued to stare as she gave Ben a slow but thoroughonce-over from the top of his head to the bottom of his booted feet. She didn’t miss an inch. Dillyn whispered to herself, “He is absolutely perfect.” There wasn’t an ounce of fat on him. Without warning, Ben turned but was so engrossed in his task that he hadn’t spotted her. His abs were so rock-hard they didn’t even look real, but Dillyn knew better. She’d run her hands all over them.That man is pure muscle. Look at his arms.Yet, he could be so tender. She loved the way his strong arms held her. Dillyn nibbled on her lower lip, thinking about how it felt to have his body on top of hers. And how good it felt when Ben positioned himself between her thighs. The mere thought made her body throb. Dillyn pressed her lips together in a firm line to prevent a needy sigh from escaping. How she could still be so needy after their marathon love-making session the night before and early this morning was beyond her.

Selah bounded out the front doors. “Hey, Dillyn! Sorry, I’m running late.”

At the sound of Dillyn’s name, Ben glanced up.

“Hey! It’s not a problem.” Dillyn lied, “I just walked up.”

Ben’s ocean blue eyes connected with her rich chocolate ones. He used his forearm to wipe the sweat from his brow and started to walk over. Dillyn was glowing. He hoped he was the reason. The past couple of weeks with her had been fantastic.

Her eyes never left his as he made his way over. There was a hint of a smile at the edge of her lips as if she had a secret that was just for him. He wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her body into his. “Hey, beautiful.” Dillyn looked much too kissable. Ben couldn’t resist. He lowered his head and covered her mouth with his.

Shamelessly, Dillyn kissed him back.

After a few minutes, Selah cleared her throat. “Hello? Sister standing here.”

Ben and Dillyn broke a part. “Sorry,” Dillyn said sheepishly.

“I’m not.” Ben tried to kiss Dillyn again, but she moved out of his way.

Selah glanced between them. Ben was her brother, and it was gross to think of him inthatway, but the sexual tension between him and Dillyn was hard to ignore. “Dillyn and I are going into town for a few things. We shouldn’t be gone long.”

“Sounds good to me.”

Ben leaned in for another kiss, but Selah pulled Dillyn away. “Let’s go before we have to postpone this little excursion.”

Dillyn laughed. “I’ll see you in a few hours.”

Ben nodded. “Okay.”

Selah whipped her head around to stare at him as if he were a two-headed monster. “Okay? No . . . when are you coming back? What are you going to get? Who is all going to be there?”

“Nope.”

Someone could have knocked Selah over with a feather. “Nope?”

“Nope. You’re with Dillyn.” He glanced at her and smiled. “I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

Ben had caused Dillyn to have many wet dreams but watching the banter between brother and sister warmed her heart and reminded Dillyn that Ben was more than just the star of her sexual escapades. He was a thoughtful and caring man.
