CHAPTER NINETEEN

Ben

Ben’s eyes opened slowlyas the remnants of the most amazing dream left his mind. He and Holly had been lying in bed together in their comfiest pajamas, her reading a romance novel and him on his laptop configuring code for some new game. It was a pleasant dream, but what had made it so incredible was that they were interrupted by a small boy, perhaps two or three, running into their room wearing footie pajamas and crying about a bad dream. The small child had run to Ben for comfort, and to his current astonishment, he had been able to do it. He had closed his computer and pulled the boy onto his lap, rubbing his back and whispering words of reassurance. Sadly, Ben woke before the dream progressed any further, but that small snippet into a possible future played on repeat in his mind, and he couldn’t stop wanting it to be a reality.

Rolling onto his side, he stared at the woman next to him. Holly looked beautiful in her sleep, her face relaxed and angelic as her dark waves spilled over the creamy, fair skin of her shoulders. Ben reached over and brushed a strand away from her face, and she stirred slightly, now facing him fully. As her eyes slowly blinked open, a smile pulled across Ben’s face when he thought about waking up to this sight every day for the rest of his life.

“Good morning, handsome.” Her voice was husky and a little raw from sleep, but her smile was serene.

Ben brushed his hand up and down her bare arm lightly, goosebumps popping up in its wake. “Good morning, sunshine.” His eyes flicked to the clock. It was barely six in the morning and they had been up until almost midnight.

After settling Holly in the bath last night, Ben snagged their take-out tiramisu along with two forks, and they shared it as she soaked in the warm water and Epsom salt to help relieve any pain she might have been feeling. The sex had been incredible, but he knew she was probably hurting after her first time and he wanted to prove to her, and to himself, that he could take care of her. It felt really good to care for another person, and Ben was wondering why he had waited so long to try it. He had a feeling no one would have stuck it out with him like Holly had though, and he wasn’t sure he would have made the effort with anyone else. Holly was one in a million, and he was the lucky bastard who she thought worthy of spending her time with.

The silky waves of her hair called to him, and he ran his fingers through them as he nudged her nose with his. “It’s still pretty early. You can go back to sleep,” he whispered.

Holly shuffled closer to him, her expression mischievous. “I kind of had something else in mind,” she said boldly. Her hand disappeared before stroking his already hard cock. “I felt this poking my backside last night, and I’m of a mind to make use of it.”

Her soft, warm hand continued to work him, the pressure both too much and not nearly enough. “Are you sure you aren’t too sore?”

Holly smiled wickedly. “Oh, I am definitely too sore right now, but I thought I could do something else.”

Leaning in to kiss him, she rolled him onto his back, somehow managing to deepen the kiss and stroke him at the same time. Ben’s hands traversed the smooth skin of her back before he gripped her backside to rub up against her. Holly gasped against his mouth before diving back in to capture his lips in another punishing kiss, her tongue roving over his and exploring his mouth with fervor. If she was going to do what he thought she was, he couldn’t wait to feel that tongue on his whole body.

Holly broke the kiss and moved her mouth down his face and neck, stopping to suck and nibble at the juncture at his shoulder. It almost hurt a little, but it also felt insanely pleasurable that he didn’t care if she did the same thing all over his body.

She popped off for a moment and giggled, biting her lower lip. “I think I may have marked you.”

Ben huffed a laugh, not even caring if he got teased for sporting a hickey. “Sunshine, you can mark me anywhere and everywhere.” He meant it, too. He would walk around town covered in love bites as long as they were from her. They would be a badge of honor, showing the world, he had an amazing woman and they belonged to each other. Holly smiled and moved down to kiss his chest as she tightened her grip on him and continued to stroke her fist up and down. His breathing was coming quicker, already so close to coming, and he wanted to make sure he gave her an out if she needed one. “You don’t have to do this, Holly.”

Blue eyes peered up at him through her dark lashes, her lower lip slipping into a mock pout. “But I want to make use of my pretty lips.” After throwing his words back at him, she winked and kissed the small patch of hair above his pelvis. Ben brushed the back of his hand against her cheek before cupping it, not seeing her eyes again but hearing her soft voice. “Tell me if I do anything wrong,” she said before sliding her tongue from his base to his tip.

His breath caught in his throat as tingles erupted all over his body, and he nearly stopped breathing entirely when Holly repeated the action before engulfing most of his cock in her hot mouth. She took him father than he thought she would, but didn’t gag as she swallowed him down before returning up to the crown and tonguing his slit. After she’d licked the head like a lollypop, she bobbed up and down on him, the movements of her fist matching the ones of her mouth. Every now and then, she would move up to the head of his cock again and suck hard, and he groaned in ecstasy.

Ben was so gone for her that she could have done just about anything to him and he would blow his load, but everything she was doing was perfect. It was slightly clumsy, but it was the best blow job of his life because it was from Holly. Soon enough, the pressure at the base of his spine mounted, her mouth dribbling moisture on his leaking cock and sloppy noises leaving her mouth. He tried his best not to thrust up, but he reached a point where he couldn’t help himself and started to move with her, Holly following his lead.

As he climbed higher and higher, he stroked her hair, knowing he wouldn’t last much longer. “Gonna come, sunshine,” he grunted. “Better stop if you don’t want to take it.”

Holly shook her head and ignored his warning, doubling her efforts to get him off. Ben’s head flopped back on the pillow as his body tensed, his free hand twisting into the sheets as he groaned his release.Fuck.He spilled into her mouth. Holly swallowed every last drop as she continued to stroke him past the point of pleasure. With one final spurt, he tugged lightly on her hair, his over sensitized body shivering at her touch.

Holly popped off, wiping a small string of saliva from her mouth with the back of her hand, breathing almost as raggedly as he was. “Was that okay?” Ben nodded with his eyes still closed and waved her to come up to him, still too blissed out to speak and needing a minute for his soul to return to his body. The feel of Holly against him finally settled his trembling, and he opened one eye to find Holly with her head and arms propped on his chest, staring at him intently. “Are you sure it was, okay? Because you don’t look okay.”

“Sunshine, I am more than okay,” he managed to get out as he caught his breath. “I’m just trying to figure out how you could be so good at something you’ve never done before.”
