She worked his length, making it hard for him to think. Caressing his fingers up the inside of her thighs, he watched her open to him. Heather’s body was already opening to him like it was meant to.
They were destined to be together.
Slipping a finger into her core, he let out a moan. Her snug cunt tightened around his finger. She was sucking him in deep. Heather had him wound so tight he didn’t know where or who he was most of the time.
Was this how his father had felt? Had the feelings terrified his father as much as they did him?
“I’m close,” he said, adding a second finger to her pussy.
She was thrusting up to meet him. Pressing his thumb to her swollen clit, Ben gave her another orgasm, and she catapulted him into his first. They came together, their cries mingling on the air. He leaned over her, his hand fisting the sheet next to her waist.
His seed spilt over her stomach, coating her skin.
Staring into her face he saw pleasure and something else he couldn’t decipher.
“You’re amazing,” he said.
“You’re not so bad yourself.”
Lifting her in his arms, Ben carried her through to the bathroom. He wasn’t accepting no for an answer. Dumping her in the shower, he climbed in after her, hitting the dial to turn it on.
Heather squealed as cold water rained down on them.
“You did that on purpose. This is not fair.”
She tried to push him away, but he wouldn’t let her budge.
“With the heat coming off you, baby, you need a cold shower.”
Ben grunted as she punched him in the stomach. Considering she was human, she packed a punch.
“I spoke to Dana. She told me you could smell my need.”
“I can.”
“So, as my mate, isn’t it your responsibility to take care of me? If I was desperate and in need then it was your responsibility to make sure I came.”
She looked so damn cute with her arms folded. Water fell over her hair, making her blink, but to Ben she was so damn sexy. She wasn’t afraid to hit him, and it was more than he’d ever thought possible.
“I’m going to hurt Dana. She shouldn’t have given away all my secrets. How many times have you fingered yourself?” he asked.
“That was my first, and I got caught.”
She raised her fist to hit him again. Ben caught her. “Don’t keep hitting me. I’ll take care of you from now on. You need to come, you get me and I’ll give you an earth-shattering orgasm.”
“You will?”
“Baby, I’ll do anything to get between your thighs. You can count on it.” He grabbed the soap from behind her and started washing her body. She didn’t fight him off.
“I like this,” she said, moaning as he caressed his hands over her back.
“I’d gladly bathe you all the time.”
She let out another moan, submitting to his touch. Ben took his time, prolonging everything for her pleasure.
“I was talking with Dana, and they’re having a Halloween barbeque in a couple of weeks.”
He’d heard about the barbeque. John had warned him he was going to invite them both. It was time for Heather to know the truth and to start mingling with the others. Ben wasn’t ready to tell her the truth. What if she left him once she knew the truth about her scars?
Shaking the thoughts from his mind, he listened to her speaking.
“They want us to be there, and I’d like to go. John cooks a mean barbeque, and I’d really like to get out there. I can’t be cooped up here forever.”
Did she really feel cooped up?
“I love spending time with you, but you must be used to going out and about,” she said, soothing some of his fears.
“I don’t need to go out.”
“Do you not want to be seen with me?” Heather asked.
He smelled her disappointment and upset seconds later. Cupping her face, he marvelled at her lack of flinching. “I’ll go with you. I don’t want to force you out into the big wide world. It would be a pleasure arriving with you on my arm.”
She took a shaky breath and smiled. “Wow, I thought I would be too ugly then or something.”
Wrapping her fingers around his hardening length, Ben shook his head. “There’s not a chance of me not being attracted to you, Heather. I ache for you.”
For now he was happy to simply be with her without being inside her.
Chapter Twelve
Over the next couple of days Heather was in a state of bliss. She couldn’t believe there was ever a time when Ben wasn’t in her life. He’d taken over her life, and she was so happy. She’d noted that she was always smiling or laughing at something he did or said.
Brushing her hair, Heather stared at her reflection. The barbeque was tomorrow, and she needed to talk with him about their costume. Dana was visiting them tonight for dinner. She looked forward to being with her friend. Felix was also chancing a visit with Ben. Heather tugged on Ben’s shirt. It was too big, but she loved having his scent surround her. He made her feel comforted with him close by. Fisting her hands at her sides she stared at her reflection.
The chicken was baking in the oven, and a chocolate cake was sitting on the side on a stand. She’d spent the entire day in the kitchen with Ben. He really could cook, and some of his ideas were amazing. She just hoped his idea of adding a little extra salt to the batter for the cake actually worked. If not, she was going to make him bring himself to orgasm that night.
Most of their nights were spent in his bedroom. She’d start the night going to her own bed, and as she thought about their time together she’d get aroused. He’d promised to get her off, and the first time had been a joke but now, she went to him whenever she needed a release. She wasn’t using him. There were times when she went to him for a release, but the real reason was because she couldn’t sleep without his arms wrapped around her.
“Felix and Dana are close by,” Ben said, coming into the room.
His arms were around her before she turned toward him. He moved so fast at times that he startled her. She loved it when he changed their positions from when she was on top to being underneath him. His cock was a thing of dreams. She loved it pressing against her core.
“Please, baby, stop, there’s only so much of your creamy, musky scent I can take.” He kissed her neck, his tongue licking over her pulse.
Her nipples hardened, and cream spilt into her panties. She crossed her legs creating some friction. His hands went from around her waist down to cup her mound.
“Stop and tonight I’ll lick you until you come on my face twice,” he said.
“Do you promise?” she asked, whimpering from the pleasure of his touch.
“Yes.”
“Okay. We better leave the room. Being close to you makes me want to do other things to you.” She took his hand, leading him out of the bedroom.
Ben tried to fight her, but she eventually tugged him out of the bedroom. “Why did we invite Dana and Felix?”
“They’re our friends.”
“Did I ever mention how friends are overrated?” he asked.
They made their way down to the kitchen. She put a pan of water on to boil as Ben grabbed the ingredients for the salad from the fridge. These were the moments she loved. She couldn’t get over how easy it was to work beside him in the kitchen.
“You’ve never mentioned it to me.” She took a carrot strip from his box and nibbled on it. Heather had skipped lunch, and she was starting to feel it. She was starving.
“We need to come up with a costume for tomorrow,” she said, nibbling on the carrot.
“I was thinking we could just go as ourselves.”
“Why? It’s Halloween. We should dress up.”
He shrugged. “I don’t want our first time out to be covered in some garish costume. Couldn’t we just go as a couple and have fun?”
Staring into his eyes she saw the seriousness of it. “No costume, just us?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay.” She was good with that. Over the years she’d dressed up as a ghost, a witch, and many other things. It would be nice to go as herself. “If you start to get repulsed by me, you could always throw a white blanket over my head,” she said, teasing.
“Don’t, Heather.”
“What?” she asked, taking another carrot. He caught her hand.
“Don’t say stuff like that. You’re a beautiful woman, and I never want you to cover yourself from me.” There was a flash of guilt in his gaze, which disappeared as quickly as it came.
“Okay. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.”
He brought her close, pressing his lips against hers. The doorbell chimed interrupting the moment.
“See, overrated,” he said.
Chuckling, Heather left him alone to go and answer the door. Dana and Felix stood waiting. They embraced her as soon as she opened the door.
“It’s so good to see you, honey. It has been too damn long. Ben won’t let me visit,” Dana said.
“I do not,” Ben said, coming up behind her.
Felix shook hands with him and then gave her a hug. There was a small growl coming from Ben, but she ignored it.
“He’s a little overprotective. I doubt it will ever change,” she said, rubbing his chest.
“It’s the tiger in him,” Dana said.
They went into the sitting room, and Heather enjoyed having her friends around. All too soon Ben and Felix were in a conversation about sports, and Dana took her through to the kitchen. “So how are things?” Dana asked.
