Page 109 of Let Me Love You (Excess All Areas 5)

He kissed her, messily, before sliding his fingers beneath the waistband. She lifted slightly so he could wiggle them down her legs. When he finally got them over her ankles, he studied the dirty fingerprints on them, then stuffed them into his back pocket. “I’m keeping them,” he said as he pushed her knees open wider.

“Why on earth would you—”

Ben pushed her thighs wide and pressed his mouth to her lips, spearing her with his tongue, followed by a flick of her clit. “You always taste so good.”

She took her weight on one hand and thrust the other into his hair, holding him exactly where she wanted him. There were things Ben excelled at. Fixing cars, playing guitar, and getting her off with his tongue.

“Why are you keeping my underwear?”

He looked up and she wished she’d not asked. She wanted his tongue back exactly where it was. “So, when you’re on nights, I can give myself a hand job, holding them round my dick, and remember this moment.”

With that, he dove straight back between her legs until she felt ready to explode. Her head hit the windscreen, but she didn’t care as she arched her back and came loudly.

“Ready?” Ben asked before he gripped her thighs, tugged her closer to the edge of the bonnet, and drove into her in one hard thrust. “Fuck.”

Ben was right.

It didn’t take long for her to come a second time, and when she did, Ben slammed his palms on either side of her head and literally fucked her up the bonnet until he came with a sound she was sure they could hear out on the street.

But somehow, it didn’t matter as he flopped down onto her, kissing her neck in-between gasps of breath.

His weight held her in place as she rubbed her hands up and down his back, savouring the twitches of his cock inside her.

“Jesus, Chay.”

She pressed a kiss to his temple. “My thighs are covered in car goop.”

Ben chuckled breathlessly. “Mission accomplished. It didn’t freak you out? Hiding?”

She shook her head. “Not with you. It was exciting. Built anticipation. Do I get my panties for the drive home?”

He shook his head as he fastened the belt of his jeans. “Nope. They’re coming home with me.”

He lifted her down off the bonnet and she looked back at her Beetle. Her palm prints were clear. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to drive it without remembering this.”

Ben kissed her, gently this time. “Maybe we can make it an annual thing. Rechristen it every year.”

“Itwashot.”

He cupped her cheeks. “It was. Because it was you. I love you.”

Chaya grinned. The words were better than sex. “I love you too.”

“And then Boncaldo was gesticulating with his arms, furious at the brass section because they’d just completely messed up, but I wasn’t totally paying attention and thought he was giving me my cue, so I smashed the Chau Gong and everyone burst out laughing,” Zoe said a week later as laughter erupted around Alex and Zoe’s dining table.

“You want to tell them what had you distracted, Rocky?” Alex asked and signed.

Ben laughed as Zoe glared at him. “You know I don’t.”

“We can guess,” Ben said, given the way his brother was looking at his girlfriend.

“More wine?” Alex asked, offering the bottle of red in Chaya’s direction.

“No, thanks. I’ve had more than enough. In fact, we should probably get going. Staying up late has been helpful to get ready for nights tomorrow, but I’m flagging.”

Ben’s phone rang and he looked at it, then the time. It was nearly one in the morning. “Mum?” he said, a band tightening around his ribs.
