Layna
Finn and Gina leave after we all clean up and have dinner together. I kiss Finn goodbye, and Ben and I both give Gina a kiss before she leaves with Finn and they bicker all the way out the door. Ben and I stand watching them both argue over nothing and I smile, watching what I think will end up as being a relationship just as intense and mine and Ben's.
Closing the door, Ben sweeps his arm around me from behind and buries his face in my neck, kissing me and I hum smiling as he wraps his other arm around me , hugging me as he keeps kissing my neck.
"Did you have a good time tonight Layna?" he asks as if he's truly unsure.
"Yeah, of course, didn't you?" I answer as I turn and look up at him. He studies me as he nods.
"I did." he says and I smirk.
"You're waiting for my crazy to come out over you with Gina." I say and he swallows and nods and I smile and lift my arms up and around his neck.
"I'm definitely jealous" I tell him which is true. But, it wasnt vicious, it wasnt going to ruin anything between me and Ben or cause me to breakdown with worry that he might prefer her over me.
"I wont do it again if you dont-"
I shut him up with a kiss. "I didnt say I didnt want you to do it again Benji" I smile against his lips and he inhales and then lets out a groan.
"You're saying you WANT it to happen again, me with her?" he asks and I shrug.
"Maybe" I say. "Depends on what your Queen is feeling that day."
He lets out a small laugh and grabs my ass and pulls me closer.
"I've never been so turned on, when you were making her thank me, making her tell me she was mine" I say and he groans.
"She IS yours." he says and I smile and kiss his lips.
"In the moment maybe" I say.
He shakes his head. "You really don't know the power you have over people, do you?" he asks and I bite my lip. Leave it to been to make me feel like I was indeed a fucking queen, that the world was in the fucking palm of my hand and everything I wanted was for the taking, and if it wasnt, he'd help me get it.
"She's yours if you want her" he says and I lick my lips.
"anyone....you can have anyone Layna, don't you understand how fucking perfect you are?" he says and strokes hair behind my ear with one hand and I close my eyes at the gentle touch and he holds the side of my face and I lean into his palm.
"you're perfect" he whispers and I open my eyes.
"so are you" I say softly as we look each other in the eyes, years and years of love lost coming all together at once and making every look from this man set me on fire.
"I'm far from perfect...but you sure as hell make me feel like I am when you look at me like that." he says and I smile.
"how do I look at you Benji?" I say, using the nickname only I'm allowed to use.
"You just look at me like ....fuck...I cant even find words...like I'm something special..you look at me and everything fucking stops Layna....everytime...every fucking time your eyes are on me I can fucking feel you inside me." he says and grabs my hand and places it on his chest over his heart.
"You're my god damn heart, my entire fucking soul and being" he lets out heavy breath and I feel my eyes brows lift slightly as my eyes soften.
"You're my everything too" I say softly, and reach my other hand up to his face. God, he was so handsome. I thought he was the hottest guy I'd ever seen back in college, and it's unfair how much his looks have only increased by a million with a little bit of age.
"You're really okay with what happened tonight?" he asks.
"Should I not be?" I ask, my fingers running over the stubble on his face. So. Fucking. Handsome.
"I just want you to be happy Layna. That's all that matters to me. That's all that's ever going to matter to me." he says. "I dont want...I can't fucking lose you or fuck this up again." he says.
"Ben..." I say gently. "You didnt fuck us up...I did."
He shakes his head. "If I told you how I felt....if I had fought for you more."
I smile softly. "Babe....you fought for me." I say reminding him, cause Ben had called and texted me for months after I started dating Calvin. But I let myself believe that he just missed having sex, or having a girlfriend that was adventerous in bed. I was so young, so fucking dumb to not know what I had with him was the real thing.
"Not enough. Otherwise I'd never of had to live a fucking day without you." he says and I lift my other hand to his face.
"We cant change how it worked out.....but it worked out ...i'm here now....with you" I say and push up on my tip toes and nudge my nose to his as he lowers his head for me.
"I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you Ben" I say and he sighs.
"I love you so much Layna" he says, and my heart fucking fills to the point of bursting watching him get choked up.
"I'd do anything for you" he says and I nod.
"I know that" I say.
"And i'll do anything for you." I return the promise.
"I missed you ...every god damn day" he says and I nod and I kiss him as his eyes start to water.
"I cant fucking lose you again Layna" he says and pulls my body to his and hishands grabs my face back and he kisses me hard and I push harder onto my toes as I meet his kiss.
"I'm not going anywhere" I breathe as I pull my mouth back. "I promise....forever...i'll be right here with you, i'm not making the same mistake twice, I promise"
With that Ben reaches down and scoops me up off the floor and carries me in his arms as I kiss him, and he walks us to the bathroom. We kiss without anymore words being said, stripping each other slowly, unable to take our lips off one another and we blindly move back and Ben pulls open the glass shower door and walks us inside slowly and reaches out without taking his mouth from mine and turns on the shower. The water is cold and I jump , but I still dont stop kissing him, and I shiver against him as he holds us under the cold water and the temperature along with our kiss is stealing all of my breath. The water warms quickly, and turns hot and I moan into his mouth.
Ben makes love to me in the shower, once, and then again, then washes us both and dries me off, then himself. I brush my hair and braid it into to two pigtails on either side of my head as he watches me while he hangs up our towels, then combs his own hair and starts to brush his teeth.
"Love your hair like that" he says through the toothpaste and toothbrush in his mouth and I smile.
"I know you do." I say, because it's how I had my hair the day I met him. It's not because they're "Handle bars" for a blow job or remind him on innocence or anything like that. Or maybe that's part of it, but i know it's mostly because of the day we met.
I grab my tooth brush and start to brush my teeth as well, and he waits for me, and we walk into his bedroom and he pulls back the covers and gets on the bed, and grabs my hand, pulling me over to him as I crawl in on the other side.
"Please tell me you're not too tired to let me taste you before bed" he says and I smirk as I move over him and move up.
"never too tired for that Benji."
