Melody tittered. “No?”
Ben crossed his arms over his chest and huffed out a mock aggrieved breath. “Oh, I see how it is.”
Before she could guess what he was about to do, Ben launched himself onto her and tackled her to the ground. He then locked his mouth onto the side of her neck and blew a raspberry.
“Ahhh!” Melody squealed amidst bursts of laughter.
Ben’s smile was playful and just a little bit self-congratulatory when he pulled away from her.
Melody narrowed her eyes and looked at him thoughtfully. “I think I might have to revise my earlier assessment.”
“Oh?” Ben asked as his eyebrows rose in a silent question.
“Yes,” she said decisively. “You aren’t just naughty. You’re downrightwicked.”
“Who? Me?” Ben posed innocently as he lifted one of her hands and proceeded to lay a gentle kiss on each of her finger pads.
“Yes, y—” Her words halted abruptly when Ben took one of her fingers into his mouth and began to suck.
He swirled his tongue around her finger and gave it a long lick before allowing it to pop out of his mouth. “You were saying?” Ben asked with a single, inquiring raised brow.
Melody blinked, momentarily speechless. It took her a moment to recover her words. “I feel like I’m only encouraging your wicked ways by admitting it, but I want you so much,” Melody revealed with a helpless laugh.
Ben smiled that heart-melting smile of his before taking her face in his hands, pressing his lips to hers, and proceeding to set her on fire again. His kiss was full and possessive. His lips pulled at a thread deep within her, warming her and suffusing her with an unflagging need for him. Somehow, she felt certain he wouldn’t be happy until she was fully unfurled and desperate for him.
Ben ran his hand up her sides and palmed one of her breasts, massaging it with just the right amount of pressure.
“Mmm,” she moaned, “that feels good.”
“Maybe I can make you feel even better.” Ben’s words were half tease and half prurient promise.
She sucked in a startled breath when he pressed her breasts together and started to suckle first one and then the other in rapid succession. Her eyes popped at the incredible sensations that exploded in her core as he quickly alternated between her nipples. Each pull sent moisture gushing between her thighs.
“Oh my God,” she keened when he managed to suckle both nipples at once. She was thrashing so hard she would have dislodged him had he been any less sturdy.
She wailed when he gently bit down on one of her nipples.
“Oh my God, Ben.Please,” she begged.
“Please what?” he prompted as his eyes met hers.
She was too aroused to feel embarrassed over her next words. “Please fuck me.”
Ben’s voice was husky and laced with potent desire when he answered her. “With pleasure, sweetheart.”
He ran his palms up the inside of her thighs and eased them apart with gentle insistence. He ran his thumb up her seam,collecting moisture, before drawing a damp circle around her clit.
Melody drew in a sharp breath when he pressed down on the nub of her pleasure gently, teasingly, before moving down to slide a strong finger inside her.
“God,” Ben groaned as he used his finger to explore her inner walls. “I love how wet you are for me.”
She moaned her pleasure while he continued to finger her. “That feels incredible.”
“I’m just getting started, sweetheart,” Ben revealed in a tone laden with gravel.
She cried out in both surprise and pleasure when he slid a second finger inside her.
It was Ben’s turn to groan. “God. You’re so tight,” he observed, withdrawing his fingers slightly before pushing them in deeper. “We’re going to need to loosen you up if you’re going to be able to take my cock.”
