I love you. Forever.

Chapter 10: Sweet kisses and lazy days

Ben’s POV

I am the happiest man alive. This girl keeps me on my toes constantly. I still can’t believe she dodged a car to save a child. What am I talking about, I totally believe it. Becs is the most selfless, caring and compassionate person I know. I can’t wait to show her just how much she is loved and cherished. She’s my precious gem.

 Becs POV

Our make out session got a little too heated on the beach. Our long slow kisses turned into rough urgent ones as we swallowed each others moans. We barely came up for breath. Thank God we were the only ones on the beach at this moment. I feel him becoming excited as I grind into him. His hands travel to my ass for a light squeeze before resting them there. I hear a low growl escape his throat, God it turned me on. It was my turn to let our a low moan. We were getting to the point of no return as we both decided to slow down. We were in a public place to begin with. We both got our feet as Ben had to adjust himself. Poor guy looked so uncomfortable. “I’m sorry, Ben.” I said softly, I really do feel bad. He smiles at me sweetly. “I’m not babe. I’ll be fine.” He said kissing my forehead. “Let’s get you home. You need rest. You’re poor body has been through a lot the last 2 days.”

“I swear, Wilder. I’m okay. I’m not as delicate as I look.” I said firmly. “I know baby but do it for me?” He smiled fluttering his long perfect eye lashes. “You’re lucky you’re so handsome and charming. And just a little sexy.” I purr at him. “Only a little baby doll? I’m the definition of sexy.” He said cockily with a smirk. “And here I thought I was.” I retorted flipping my hair over my shoulder walking away. “I stand corrected, the most gorgeous girl in the world is the sexiest as well.” He pulled me in for a quick kiss. “Don’t worry buddy, you’re just after me.” I say with a wink. He just chuckles and takes my hand as we walk back to the car.

…

We spent the rest of the late afternoon and evening watching a movie cuddling on his couch. His parents ended up going to a banquet and had left before we even got back from the beach.

“Can I check you over once more before bed? I just want to make sure you’re okay.” He asked. “If it will make you feel better.” I replied plainly. “It will.” He responded with a sweet smile leading me to the bathroom. I pulled my shirt off as I stood in front of him. I started looking at my abdomen and side checking for cuts or bruises. I did have some bruising forming on my side along my ribs. “Umm that’s a lot more distracting than your sports bra you had one last time.” He said shyly. I look down realizing I had a pretty lacey black bra on. Oops. “Would you like me to put my shirt back on?” I teased. Might as well enjoy this. “Not really, no.” He said softly. His eyes darkened just a touch, he finally pulled his gaze away from my chest and to my face. “Baby doll, turn around so I can check your back.” I did slowly and rested my hands on the counter. I felt his fingertips caress my back. “Baby you’re bruised along your ribs from your side to your back. Does it hurt to breathe or anything? Did I hurt you earlier holding you?” There was nothing back concern in his voice. I turned to face him. “I feel a little discomfort but it isn’t bad. I’ve had cracked and broken ribs before. This is nothing. Though I am sure my whole body will be sore in the morning. And no, I can breathe just fine and you did not hurt me in any way, Benny. Please stop worrying.” I smile at him as I run my fingers through his disheveled hair as he sighed.

“Though I do have one small issue.” I added. “And that is?” He looked at me confused. “This is twice now that you’ve seen me topless. Its time to pay up Wilder.” I purred as I tugged his shirt making him raise his sexy brow at me. Damn it, that gets to me and I’m pretty sure he knows it. He held his gaze just a few moments before he pulled his shirt off causing me to gasped as his broad naked chest. “s**t, so this is what you’ve been hiding.” I whisper as I ran my fingertips down his chest and 6 pack. I hear his breath hitch under my touch as he looks down at me. I begin leaving a trail of kisses over his neck, shoulders and chest. A soft expression on his face but he eyes full of a desire. “God, you’re beautiful, Benny.” I whisper into his lips. “Not as beautiful as you, Becs.” He whispered back before taking my left hand and kissing my over my promise ring. Oh hell, this guy is f*****g perfect. We wrap our arms around each other; our bodies pressing together. The skin to skin contact is absolutely amazing. We kiss slowly, longingly. Before I knew it, he grasped my thighs picking me up. My arms and legs wrapped around his neck and waist as he carried me to his bedroom. Never breaking the kiss.

He laid me down coming on top of me but holding up his own weight. “I just want to kiss you all over, baby doll. Can I?” He whispered into my ear. “Only if I can kiss you all over too.” I smiled sweetly at him. He never responded. His lips traveled on my neck and shoulders lingering over my sweet spot leaving his mark on me. He worked his way down kissing m chest. He gently squeezed my bra covered breasts making me moan. He slipped his thumb under the material and gently caressed my left n****e as he took my lips into his for a few moments before kissing the valley between my breasts. His hands were now at my sides as he spread soft kisses all over my abdomen. “So beautiful.” He whispered looking up at me. “Come here.” I purr at him. He hovers over me and kisses my lips. I push him to his side for him to roll onto his back but he takes me with him. My hair cascading over my shoulders forming a barrier around our heads. I begin kissing his face. I left a trail of sweet kisses on his forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks and that sexy jawline of his before I made my way nibbling on his Adam’s apple for a moment before moving to his ear lobes finding one of his sweet spots. I sit up straddling his hips and begin tracing his broad hard chest and the muscles on his stomach. “You are stunning, Ben. Perfect in every way. You know, it’s dangerous for 17 year old boys to look like this.” I smirked. “Oh really how so?” He asked smirking back. “You’ll have girls after you relentlessly. You better keep this hidden.” I said teasingly caressing his torso, but we all know its true. He already has a fan club at school. “I’m only concerned about one particular girl.” He said as he gentle caressed my sides. “And who would that be, Wilder?” I said sternly but giggling right after. “Just the girl who is currently sitting on me and teasing the s**t out of me.” He pouted puffing his sexy lips out. I leaned over him brushing my lips against his. “You love it.” I whispered and pulled away exploring his chest and abs with my lips and fingers. “Yes I do.” He sighed.

We enjoyed our intimacy for a little while longer before I rolled off of him and laid on my side resting my head on his chest. “Tired baby doll?” He asked. “I am, think I will get cleaned up and changed. I have a dance lesson in the morning too.” I added. “You should rest, Becs. Can’t you skip just one lesson?” He said concerned. “Its okay Ben, I’m teaching younger dancers. It won’t be as physically demanding as my own classes. It will good to stretch out my muscles. I promise I won’t over do it.” I promised. He just nodded and held me close for a few more minutes before we both got ready for bed.

…

I woke up completely embraced in Ben’s strong arms as mine embraced him; well as much as I could. I swear he calls me baby doll because that is what I look like next to him. I will have to ask him that sometime. My body was completely pressed against his, we were facing each other as our legs were entangled together. My head was buried in his shirtless chest; his scent filling my senses. He was intoxicating. He always smelled so good, so Ben. I lifted my head to find him still sleeping peacefully. His face was completely relaxed with his disheveled hair. I honestly don’t think this boy owns a comb and I’m fine with that. I love his messy sandy brown hair. He looked more like a young boy than a young man even with his strong sharp jaw. His skin was perfectly tan, not to dark. Quite the contrast to my fair skin. He had beautiful long eye lashes that should be illegal. And those damn sexy brows; so thick and naturally sculpted resting above the perfect baby blue eyes that I could get lost in. His nose was strong and well defined just like his jawline. Then there’s his lips. His oh so kissable lips. I swear his lips fit perfectly against mine. And they taste so good. I could kiss him for eternity.

I was lost my own thoughts when I hear his raspy morning voice but his eyes were still closed, “You’re staring.” He said with his deep and sexy morning voice. My heart skipped a beat at the sound. “Not staring, just admiring the most handsome guy I’ve ever seen.” I said kissing his lips softly not caring about morning breath. I feel him smile under my lips. “I like waking up to you in my arms.” He whispered tiredly.  “I like it too, handsome. I can get use to this. But I have get ready and go to my lesson baby.” I said softly. I go to sit up but he wasn’t having it. “Nope.” He said popping the P. I was completely at his mercy. Then again, it doesn’t take much with him. He’s a giant. “Benjamin, you will have a herd of angry little girls after you if you don’t let me go to my lesson. Believe me, these girls may look cute and sweet but they are savages.” I said seriously; trying not to crack a smile. “I think I can handle them.” He said confidently hugging me even tighter. “You’re funeral, buddy.” I said rolling my eyes. “Did you just give me a eye roll, baby doll?” He asked sternly. “What if I did?” I asked snarky. I regretted that as soon as I said it. Before I knew it, I was on my back with Ben straddling me looking down at me with a devilish smile. “I’ve been meaning to ask you, my love, are you ticklish?” He asked sweetly…a little too sweet for my liking. “What! No, you better not Wilder!” I shouted trying to wiggle out from under him. “I’ll kick your ass!” I added. He chuckled darkly as his hands went right for my sides making me scream laugh. “Stop!” I yelled breathlessly still laughing. He was relentless. His classic smile was bright and his eyes dancing. He was a little boy in this moment. If I wasn’t being tortured, I would appreciate his cuteness. Okay, time to play dirty Rebecca. “Ow, ow my ribs!” I say painfully holding my sides. “Oh my God, Becs. I’m so sorry!” He said getting off of me giving me my chance at escape. I bolted from the bed laughing my ass off. “Hey!! That was dirty. You better run missy!” He shouted behind me. I barely made it out the door before he caught up grabbing my hips and spinning me around to him. Our lips smashing together for one long intense kiss. We pulled away before we got out of hand. Hell, I don’t know how  much longer I will last before I have s*x with him. I want to so bad. But it needs to be right. I don’t want to rush him or myself. Oh f**k, how I crave him. “Can I get ready now?” I smiled sweetly at him. “I guess so.” He said sadly. “It’s only for a couple hours babe. Actually can you take me home to get my leotard and tights and then drop me off?” I asked. “Anything for you, my girl.” He cooed kissing my forehead. “Maybe I’ll go to the gym and then pick you up when its over.” He added. “Sounds good to me!” I said. “Please don’t overdo it today baby, ok?” He pleaded. “I won’t. I’ll keep it light. And when we get back I will let you wait on me hand and foot as I rest.” I said jokingly. “You know I will, Becs. All joking aside.” He said a little more seriously. “I just cup his cheek and kiss him softly. “I know Benny because you are wonderful and caring.” I smile at him. “Only for you.” He whispered kissing me one more time before we both got ready for the day.

…

Ben’s POV

Got a good workout in and went home for a shower before picking up my girl. I’ll still be early; can’t wait to see her in action. I have noticed how graceful she moves in general. Well, everything about her to graceful. I can’t keep my eyes off of her ever. Waking up with her in my arms these last 2 mornings was incredible. Even without s*x, the intimacy of us embracing is fulfilling. She’s fit perfectly with me.

“Hi miss, I am looking for Rebecca Sampson’s class.” I ask the receptionist at the studio. She looks up and gasps checking me out. “Umm hi, yes. Are you picking up your little sister?” She questions with hopefulness. “No, I am actually here to pick up Rebecca.” I replied trying not to roll my eyes as she gawks at me unabashed. “Oh, her class is in studio D, 3 door to the left down that hallway.” She pointed with a disappointed look on her face. I walk down the hallway and quietly step into the dance studio making sure not to disturb the lesson. Becs back was turned to me as she was demonstrating a ballet move. She looked so delicate and feminine in her black full sleeved leotard and pale pink tights. She also had the cutest little ballet skirt that tied together by her hip. This is the first time I see her with her hair up off her neck in messy curly bun. I’m not sure what type of shoes she has on. Maybe ones that ballerinas use to got up on their toes I’m guessing. All I know is that she looks beautiful. Lost in my thoughts a little girl spoke up pointing to me…

“Miss Rebecca, there’s a strange boy here.” The little girl says tugging on Becs’ skirt. Without missing a beat, “Oh really Katie? Tell me, is he tall with really messy hair and kinda cute?” She asked with a hint of sass in her voice. “Yes.” Katie giggled. “Is he now raising a eye brow looking at me?” Becs adds and of course I was raising brow. This girl knows me too well. “He is!” Katie and other girls giggle some more. Becs knelt down and whispered to the girls around her so I couldn’t hear. What is she up too? All of a sudden I hear more little girl giggles and a rush of mini ballerinas coming at me as Becs turns around and smiles brightly at me; so beautiful. “Mr. Ben, Mr. Ben!” They all shouted, “Come with us!” Before I knew both my hands were grasped and I was being led to some chairs to sit. “Watch us dance Mr. Ben!” They cheered. “Ok girls, I’m watching.” I smiled brightly at them. Becs pulled out some acrobat mats. “Okay my girls, what dance do you want to end the class with since we have a visitor?” Becs asked. “Uptown Funk.” Most shouted making Becs laugh. “How did I know.” She giggled. “I got out the mat so we can tumble during the freestyle part.” She hit play on their stereo and all of them lined up in their places. They mixed ballet and hip hop in their moves as they followed my girl’s lead. Becs is so talented. She has it all. Towards the end of the song she had the girls line up by the mats. Each little girl took a turn doing a somersault, cartwheel, roundoff or a backbend. She guided each girl with support. I was impressed with everyone until I saw Becs take a knee to her jaw but she or the little girl never skipped a beat following through with the back bend and flip. More parents came through during the routine to pick up their kids. We all sat in the same area. As the song ended we all clapped. “Mr. Ben, Mr. Ben! Did you like it?” Katie cheerfully asked. “Of course, you all did fantastic! Great job!” I cheered. “Okay girls, class is dismissed, have a fun weekend!” Becs smiled at everyone. “Miss Rebecca, can you do your solo for us before we leave?” One little girl asked. “Yes Miss Rebecca, we want to see your solo.” I pleaded with puppy dog eyes as others girls pleaded as well. She laughed and shook her head at me. “Okay okay, as long as your parents don’t mind. Which they didn’t thankfully. She set up the music before taking her post on the floor. Katie hit play for her once we was ready. It was a pretty classical song; dramatic too. She definitely had the type of shoes that help her go on her toes. “Katie, what type of ballet shoes does she have on?” I asked in a low tone. “Their point shoes.” She whispered back smiling. “Ok, thanks!” I smiled at her before turning our attention back to Becs. It was incredible how she danced on point. Her moves were graceful yet powerful. Damn she’s flexible. Holy s**t, that’s good to know. We all clapped and cheered as she finished her solo. All her girls ran up and gave her a hug before leaving with their parents. As the last few people left, Becs walked up to me.

“Hi Mr. Ben.” She giggle. “Did you enjoy the routines?” She added smiling brightly. “Oh yes, baby doll. Except the part you got nailed in the jaw.” I said turning her chin with my finger to see if there’s any bruising and lightly kissed her jaw making her smile. “It’s the hazards of the job.” She laughed. “Your solo was really beautiful Becs, it amazes me how you go up on your toes like that. And damn, you’re flexible!” I said pulling her closer to me as I rest my hands on her hips. “You have no idea Benny.” She said devilishly causing me to raise my brow once again. Before I knew it she got up on point and kissed me. It was a sweet soft kiss lasting a few moments. She pulled away slowly smiling. “Let me change out and we can go.” She chirped. “Sounds good baby. I’ll call Matt and see if he wants to come hang out.” I replied. After a few minutes, Becs was out and ready to go. “Matt said he’ll be there around 2pm, so that gives us a few hours alone.” I whispered in her ear lightly kissing her ear lobe. “Behave Wilder.” She grinned at me. “Aren’t you tired of me yet?” She added. “Oh hell no babe. Never. I can’t get enough of you.” I said pulling her into my side with my arm around her waist as we walked out of the building. “Good, because I can’t get enough of you either, Ben.” She purred squeezing my side. God I love her. I kissed the top of her head as we made our way to the car. “You hungry?” I asked. “I’m okay, I can wait until we order pizza with Matt. Let’s just go back to your house.” She smiled. “As you wish, my girl.” I said reaching over and caressing her cheek. I simply can’t get enough of her.

We made it home and headed to my room to hang out for a bit and watch a movie. Becs got comfy on my bed as I got us some drinks. By the time I got back, she was curled up in a ball and fast asleep. I turned the movie on low and molded my body around her so I  could hold her as she napped. I don’t know why I even turned the movie on, I just ended up watching her the whole time well until I dosed off resting my head against her head. I woke up to a soft kiss on the corner of my lips. I opened my eyes to see my red headed beauty looking up at me. “Sorry, I fell asleep on you. Didn’t realize how tired I was.” She smiled softly. “Matt will be here in 15 minutes.” She added kissing my jaw. “Its okay, baby. I’m glad you rested.” I whispered before capturing her lips. “Ben, we can’t. Matt will be here soon.” She mumbled fighting the urge to kiss me back. “We have plenty of time to kiss.” I mumbled back. I pulled her on top of me and captured her lips again. She wasn’t going anywhere. I let me hands roam her back as her fingers ran through my hair. I tugged on her lower lip but she wasn’t allowing the access I wanted. She pulled away just enough to talk, “No Ben, later. Let’s go downstairs.” She said giving me a quick peck on my lips. Of course, being the mature 17 year old that I am, I pouted holding her against me in a bear hug. “Nope.” I responded popping the P. “I need more time with you baby doll and you’re completely at my mercy. So not trying to play the hurt ribs card.” I added with a smirk. She huffs and tries wiggling out of my arms not realizing she causing my buddy down there to stir. “I wouldn’t keep moving like that if I were you.” I moaned out feeling myself getting hard. “Sorry.” She whispered starting to blush realizing what she was doing. “Will you let me go now then?” She asked. “Still a no, I like to watch you blush. It’s cute.” I tease her. She huffs and hits my chest with her dainty hand making me chuckle. She gives up and rests her head on my chest as I continue to hold her; thankful my buddy went down with lack of movement. I could stay like this forever. A comfortable silence goes by before she speaks up. “Ben, why do you call me baby doll?” Her voice was so soft and smooth. “Because you remind me of one my little cousin used to have when she was young. It had flaming red hair with the crazy curls just like yours.  And you fit in my arms like one, perfectly. You were made for me Becs.” I said taking her left hand and kissing her finger my promise ring is on. She smiles at me sweetly and kissing my jaw. “I need to tell you something, baby. I’ve been waiting but I guess now is as good as any time. You’ve been so open with me about your past and your struggles. I am so thankful you trust me like that. I want you to know that I trust you too. As you know I am not the friendliest person. I am intense and normally a asshole to most people. I would get into countless fights at my old school. I mean, I never really started any but I would finish them. But that’s part of the reason we moved. I was a bear there. That school was full of pricks and bullies. And I never second guessed punching the lights out on a person. But Becs, I actually hospitalized a guy. I saw him get a little too handsy with his girlfriend after the football game in the stairwell. I heard her tell him no and struggle to get out of his hold. He ended ripping her shirt and hit her in the face. I couldn’t stand by. I lost my temper seeing her bloody lips. Guys are meant to protect their girls not hurt them. I went ape s**t crazy on him and I knocked him out with several blows to the head and gave him a few broken ribs. He ended up with a concussion. His parents went to sue my family even when his girlfriend went to them and the police to tell them what he tried doing to her. Both of our families had connections but I told my parents I was willing to take whatever punishment so they could move past it. But my parents stood by my side. Josh lied about the encounter and discredited his girlfriend because she was known to be easy among the school. My dad being the bull dog that he is, wouldn’t back down until his parents were willing to settle out of court. No one knew there was a security camera in that stairwell until my dad pushed the issue. But since Josh was still the son of the police chief, he got minimal punishment and the girl was transferred to another school. Because of the severity of my reaction, the family got a restraining order on me and got me kicked out of that school. So my dad decided to move us here since he was planning on expanding. I needed to tell you that. But please don’t look at me differently. I’m really not a monster like I was made out to be there. I will never hurt you Becs.” I finally stopped to take a breath but my heart was racing waiting for her reaction. “Ben, I am proud of you. You saved a girl from s****l assault. And it sounds like that guy deserved the beating. Baby, I could never look at you differently especially how tender you are with me. I feel protected in your arms. I know you wouldn’t hurt me. I see how your  body language, eyes and facial expressions change when interacting with others. You put up a tough exterior for everyone, but you give your true self to me. And I cherish that. I love you Ben Wilder. Nothing is going to change that.” She responded before capturing my lips for a passionate kiss. “See I knew you were made just for me. I will protect you and always be gentle with you. I never want to cause you pain, Becs. You are too special. I love you.” I responded as our heads pressed together. “You are the only one who has any control over me. I hope you realize that.” I added. She smiled sweetly at me before kissing me again. “Thank you for telling me, Benny.” She said softly. “On a lighter note, just how flexible are you baby doll?” I asked with a mischievous smile. “That’s for me to know and for you to MAYBE find out.” She smirked while getting up and onto her feet. “Maybe? Why maybe?” I pouted. She just chuckled and pranced out of my and into the bathroom. She’s going to be the death of me.

Becs POV

Ben went downstairs to order pizza and set up his gaming system as I freshened up putting skinny jeans on and a long sleeved shirt deciding to stay barefoot; it always felt good after a dance lesson especially after being point shoes all morning. Ben is absolutely amazing. What happened just a few nights ago seems like a distant memory. Ben has a way of making things better in my life and its only been a week just about. Its crazy how you can fall so hard and so fast for someone. Every time I look at Ben, I see my present and future. I just want to stay with him always and I don’t mean in a clingy way. He’s my home. He has seen my scars and the battles I face in my mind. I don’t have to put up a front with him. I can be me. And he accepts all of me; the good, the bad, and the ugly. He is truly beautiful on the inside and the outside. His parents raised him right.

I made my way downstairs and saw Ben standing in the living room on the phone. His back was facing me. He was ordering the pizza. I stand there just taking him in. He is built like a greek god; tall and strong with perfect edges. Seeing him shirtless last night confirmed it. But don’t get me started on his ass. His whole body is all muscle. How can a teenage boy be this beautiful especially only wearing joggers and t shirt. I walk up behind quietly and wrap my arms around is waist and rest my head against his back. I feel his arm come around and rest alongside me as he finishes the order. He turned his head and looked down at me, “Hi there gorgeous.” He then turned within my arms so he was facing me. “Hi.” I say smiling. Just then there was a knock at the door. He leaned in and pecked my lips before we parted ways. “I’ll get snack ready.” I say walking towards the kitchen. “Hey Matt, come on in!” I hear Ben say cheerfully. I am so thankful he befriended Matt. “Hi Ben, thanks for having me over. My mom made us cookies.” He said excitedly. “Nice, tell her thanks. Becs is in the kitchen getting snacks.” Ben replied leading Matt to the living room. “Movie or video games first?” Ben asked as I come walking in. “I think you and Matt should play a video. I want to watch you get your butt kicked. Hi Matt!!” I chirped. “Hey Rebecca.” He said walking over giving me a side hug. “Cookies look awesome, his mom makes the best.” I say taking the cookies from him and plopping down on the couch eating one…well actually 3. “Video game sounds good, you choose Ben.” Matt smiled. “Who says I’m getting my butt kicked? I’m pretty good at these games if I do say so myself.” Ben smiles with arrogance. Matt and I look at each other and laugh making Ben do his sexy brow raise. “Hey save some for the rest of us!” Ben says finally noticing me pig out on the homemade cookies. “Mine!” I say selfishly. “If you beat Matt, you get a cookie.” “Done and done.” Ben states confidently. After 90 minutes of intense gaming and eating pizza, Ben has won zero times. Matt kicked his ass every single game. And I loved it. Ben tried playing it off but was pouting. “Damn Matt, you are a gaming master.” Ben sighed. And yes I eventually shared the cookies. They were gone in no time. I get up and go to the kitchen to refill our snacks and drinks before we pick a movie to watch.
