His eyes turn feral, and he brings his mouth back to mine as he plunges two fingers inside of me. He curls them up into my g-spot while his thumb flicks my clit, and I see stars.
I manage to moan out, “Ben, fuck,” before he rolls his thumb over my clit again and curls his fingers back up. My back arches, trying to grind down harder on his finger. To get closer. To do fucking anything to ease the ache between my legs while Ben pushes me closer and closer to the brink. He keeps playing with my clit just enough to hold me on the edge but not enough to throw me over, and it’s making me wild with need.
“Ben, please,” I gasp out.
“Tell me what you need.”
“I need to come. Now.”
“Then give it to me, Hallie. Come. Now.” He curls his fingers again and increases the pressure on my clit, and I go off like a rocket. My legs shake, and my eyes snap closed as Ben fucks me with his fingers. As my orgasm rolls through me, Ben strokes me through it. When the pleasure finally ebbs, I bring my mouth to his. He locks his arms around me, and it is all teeth and tonguesand wild, frenzied need. I feel Ben’s hard cock between us, and I push myself up enough to grasp it and give it a long stroke, rubbing my thumb over the head.
Ben grabs my hand and pulls it away from his cock. He lifts it to his mouth and kisses my knuckles. The sweet gesture after the scorching hot moment we just shared has my heart rolling over in my chest.
“As much as I love your hands on me, the only place I’m coming is inside you.” He pushes me up so that I’m straddling his hips, before slicking one of his thumbs over my oversensitive clit and sliding his hands up my stomach. Palming my breasts, he rolls my nipples between his fingers in a way that has me gasping and moving my hips, looking for friction, even though I just came all over his hand two minutes ago. I swear, I am insatiable when it comes to this man.
He gives me a wicked grin.
“Ride me, Hallie girl.”
My entire body comes alive. I lift up, grasping his cock with one hand and positioning myself over it. Then I sink down slowly, both of us groaning as I take all of him inside of me. I freeze for a second, letting my body adjust to him, eyes closing at the delicious feeling of being so full.
“Eyes on me, Hallie. Always on me.” I open my eyes and meet his. They are full of need and desire, and the heat in them spurs me on. I lift up and then sink back down again, rolling my hips so that my clit hits Ben’s pelvis. He rolls my nipples again, and I moan at the electricity that pulses through me. Not able to take it slow anymore, I lift all the way up until just his tip is inside me, and I grind hard back down.
“Fuck yes, Hallie,” Ben grits out. “Don’t fucking stop.”
As if I could. I ride him hard, grinding him deep inside me while he moves his hands over every inch of my body.
“God, it’s so good, Ben.” And it is. My entire body is lit up.
“It’s about to get better.” Ben brings one of his hands down, circling my clit with his thumb while he fucks up into me. The combination of his thumb on my clit and his cock hitting just the right spot has me climbing higher and higher until I detonate around him.
“Fuck, Hallie. You feel so fucking good. I’ve never…” Ben doesn’t finish his sentence. He just keeps fucking me from below, chasing his own orgasm as mine continues to roll through me. His thrusts lose their rhythm as he gets closer, and then he groans out, “Fuck, I’m coming!”
He spills his release inside me as I collapse on his chest, and we ride out the last of our orgasms. We’re both sweaty and breathing hard, our hearts thundering against each other. Ben drifts his hands up and down my back and presses his lips to my hair, my temple, my forehead. It amazes me that even after outstanding, explosive sex, when he is still literally inside me, this sweet moment makes my chest ache. It’s the most baffling combination, and I don’t hate it.
I lift my head to look at Ben. He smiles and cups my face in both of his hands. He brings his mouth to mine in one more long, slow kiss that makes my head spin, then sits up with me on top of him, leaning in and kissing my nose.
“What do you say to a shower then cold Chinese food right on this couch where you just fucked my brains out?”
I grin at him. “I’d say that is exactly what I need in my life right now.”
Wrapping his arms around me, Ben pushes up to standing.
“You can put me down, you know.”
“Nah, you just did all the work, Hallie girl. Let me take care of you now.”
And take care of me he does. Ben carries me straight to the shower, where he washes my hair and every single inch of my body. He wraps me in one towel and dries my hair with another.Then he sets me on my bed and digs through my drawers for my softest shorts and my favorite hoodie. Every time I protest and tell him I can do it myself, he leans in and kisses the protest right out of my mouth.
After we’re both dressed, he deposits me on the couch and covers me with a blanket before disappearing to the kitchen and coming back with a glass of water, a Diet Pepsi, and a can of seltzer, which he puts on the coffee table right in front of me. Then he disappears again to get the food. I had two orgasms and am now clean, warm, properly hydrated, and about to be fed. I should have gotten myself a relationship a long time ago if this is how they go.
But then Ben walks in—clad in only his low-slung athletic shorts, carrying a loaded plate for me—and I think maybe I never had a real relationship before because I was waiting for Ben.
We eat in comfortable silence for a couple of minutes before I blurt out, “I’m meeting with Charlie Callahan tomorrow.”
I emailed Charlie while we were at the lake like Ben suggested, the night of the bonfire. He got back to me and told me that he had something he wanted to discuss with me too, so we set up a meeting for my first full day back in the office. And ugh. Just thinking of going back to the office has my stomach knotting up with the anxiety that was largely absent during our two weeks at the lake.
“That’s great, Hal, but what’s that face?” Damn this man for being able to read me so well.
