Two wrongs make it right

House mates

I spent the night with Ben in the bed. It was soothing and calming. Ben snores. Not loudly but it's soft.

I roll over to face him, he readjusts his hand on my side. I am fine with where it sits. I will not take this any further until I am sure of how I feel about him.

The sun is low but it's enough to see. Ben has his eyes closed. I dont think he's asleep. His breath is hot against mine. I look down to his lips they look so delicious I want to taste.

Ben tightens his grip on me drawing my body closer. He locks his legs into mine. I push him in the chest. He doesn't move. I try pushing again, he doesn't move. I start panicking it's just like when Duncan was onto of me I can't get him off. I start hyperventilating trying to get out. The walls are closing in.

Ben's eyes flick open his face straight to concern. He takes a few minutes of me pushing against him and breathing erratically before he let's go.

I push so hard I fall off the bed. Still breathing erratically. Ben jumps down infront of me.

***** Ben's pov

I open my eyes not wanting the bliss to end. Kara is panicking I can't understand why. Then I feel her push against me. What have I done?

I let her go she falls off the bed. I quickly jump down to her wye level.

"Kara, You need to slow your breathing"

She's still panicking "Shhhh" I put my palms on her cheeks to keep her focused on me.

"slow down" I say as softly as possible.

Her eyes fix on me. I show her slow deep breaths, she follows. "Good girl"

I wonder what set this off. We were only cuddling.

"Good" I notice she is almost at a normal level.

She comes too. She looks better but upset.

I wish I could help her. I want her to be okay.

He has messed her up big time.

"You wouldn't let go"

"What?" Please dont tell me I hurt her.

" You wouldn't let go, I wanted to go, you wouldn't let go" She starts tearing up again.

I sit her up and wipe the tears with my thumbs.

"It was like having him on top of me again"

Oh God it was me. I set her off.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to enjoy cuddling you a bit longer" It was pure bliss. Glad I didn't kiss her now.

"Ben" she has a very serious tone.This can't be good. "Ben, I don't want you to think there is more between us" it was like an arrow to the chest.

All I can do is nod. I can't utter a single word. If she doesn't want more between us that's fine by me.

I feel dumb for feeling the way I do.

I get up, leaving her alone. I make coffee and decide to hide in my room. I check emails and watch Netflix. Lunch time rolls around and my stomach growls telling me I really need to eat.

I do something I know I will regret. I called that girl I use to work with. Kate.

while I was working in the mines she was the one on-site who had been very interested in me. She is a beautiful person. I just never fancied her. But it was like all of a sudden I wanted revenge. I know I'm stupid.

*******Kara's Pov

Ben had been in his room until lunchtime. I didn't mind because I needed to stop thinking about his strong arms around me. His lips just out of reach.

I had been playing with Bruno running around the yard. Bruno was smiling as he ran off. I dont remember him being this happy.

I stop I can feel eyes on me. I turn to catch Ben staring at my ass.

"Hey" I can't help the smile on my face.

"Hey" Ben responds his face plain and solid like stone.

I am not sure how I need to respond so I turn back to Bruno. I take off to runn after Bruno as I turn I hit a wall and fall to the ground. I'm sure it looked as fabulous as it sounds. I look up at the wall it's Ben he was standing behind me. Bruno Zooms past as if the game is still on. Ben puts a hand out.

"Thanks" he pulls up and holds me for just a second. My body does the unforgivable my knees buckle. I feel Ben's hand on my hips, I look into his eyes and I am drawn. I dont know what happened but I kissed him.

His lips tasted like coffee and sweets. He was delicious. I didn't want to stop my tongue was teasing his lips for entry. He opened. I could feel his hands roam my body one grabbing my ass the other made it's way to the back of my head entangled in my hair pushing us together.

My skin lights up at his touch. It opens a burning desire I didn't know I had.

I pull away, his eyebrow is raised. I can see in his eyes he wants more. I kiss his lips again just quickly and walk away. I really need to get myself together. Maybe I should go back home.

Ben walks into the loungeroom. Still dazed a little. I can see there are things on his mind. He sits on the coffee table, I go to get up.

"Sit" he points at my spot, he drags himself so close I am trapped by his legs. I sit his legs are touching mine. The sparks of desire running through me, I hold my breath.

He looks at me, I know he can see it.

"What was that?"

"I'm sorry" is all I can say and tears shed. I cant help it I'm scared.

"No" it's only just louder than a whisper as he wipes the tears off my cheeks with his fingers.

I look at his face, I hadn't realised I was looking down until now. His face is soft and gentle.

"I'm sorry Ben" is all I can utter tears running down my face. I start panicking again and Ben quickly pulls me into his lap with my back to his chest. He holds me tight my hands find his and hold on.

"Breathe" His voice deep but soothing "Breathe" he loosens his grip as I calm down.

I stop crying but stay on Ben's lap. I dont want to move, I dont want to have another panick attack.

"I think I should go home"

"What"

"I think I should go home"

"Why, What has brought this on?"

"I'm a mess, I'm scared of everything.I don't know what to do"

Ben is silent for what seems to be an eternity. His arms still around me but relaxed. He drops his head to my shoulder.

"Kara, I can't stop you" Ben sighs "But I need to know what you want from me"

I take a deep breath and sigh. I turn on his lap. Before I can say anything my lips are against his again. His finger light up my senses as they move down my body.

His hands grab my ass and squeeze. He stands up and sits on the couch. My legs straddle him automatically.

We continue kissing with intensity and need. His fingers travel to the hem of my shirt and lift it up to my stomach. I stop him.

Ben pulls away.

"What's wrong?" concerned his hands go straight to my face.

"What if Tristan comes home?"

Ben picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. He walks us into his room and kicks the door shut. I fall from his shoulder to the bed. I'm not sure if it's his bed or if I'm high on his smell and touch but this bed feels amazing.

All my senses are feeling overloaded.

Ben stands at the end of the bed taking his shirt off and all his muscles ripple. I feel heat in my cheeks. Ben crawls up the bed and leans over me on his elbows.

He pecks my lips again. Sending shivers run down my body.

He lifts my shirt again and I sit up to help him take it off.

I subconsciously place my hands over my body feeling self conscious trying to hide all of my scars.

"You are beautiful baby" his eyes drinking me in. He kisses me again reaching under my body unlatching my bra, I flick it off the side of the bed.

His hands radiating warmth of the sun landing on my breasts one massages my right breast the other pinches my left n****e pushing a moan out.

My whole body is tingling, my brain is telling me just do it do it now. All I want is him to fill me the urge is real.

I'm pushing my hips against him, I can feel his bulge through his shorts. I wrap my legs around him to pull him closer. The need pushes through.

"I want you now Ben" I whisper.

Ben's eyes light up a little I feel him unbutton his pants.

He just drops them and the door busts open. I don't look at who it is I grab my breast and roll to a side.

****** Duncans POV

The thin walls of the motel room give way to another guy beating his girlfriend. The walls are a legible lime green stained with cigarettes. There is a sink and a microwave with a kettle and a bathroom with a bed.

I watch the postage stamp sized tv they have mounted on the wall. A cockeroach crawls along the bench between the kettle and microwave. It just reminds me of her.

I am angry. Who calls the cops on their partner when they deserved it? she was the one using this as an excuse to sleep with everyone. I have only slept with other women when she didn't put out. So it was her fault.

The woman next door screams and I hear a thump and silence.

The door to the motel room opens and closes. Then I hear a knock. Do I want to answer this. I dont want to know.

I stay on the bed and don't get up.

The knocking gets louder I open the door and the man from next door is there.

"Hey buddy, got a ciggy" the man is in his thirties a little soft in the middle a short red beard strong eyebrows and a spider Web tattoo does his left arm.

"no, don't smoke" Duncan stands there waiting for the man to walk off.

"Chad" he introduces himself.

"Duncan"

"Do you drink buddy?" Chad had one saving grace.

"Yeah" Duncan said.

Chad then turns quickly to his room and comes back with two cans of Bundaberg rum.

******** Tristans's Pov

I get out of my car and see a young woman on the front step. Dark blonde hair hanging around her shoulders. She's sitting slumpt over her head in one hand her phone in the other. I walk closer to the door and she looks up. I can see beautiful blue eyes and gorgeous pink lips. She possibly has any pick of guys. I could only dream she would choose me.

"Hey" She lights up

"Hey, can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Ben, I'm his friend Kate" She smiles.

" He's not answering his phone?" I ask.

"No"

"Oh" She moves out of the way and let's me unlock the front door. She follows me in. I hold my hand up "Do you mind waiting here he may be asleep" She nods and sits in the loungeroom.

I dont even think it could happen because they have had a few disagreements but I just opened Ben's door. And there's Ben leaning over a top less Kara both shocked.

"Dude!" Ben yells.

Kara giggles facing the wall hiding everything.

"Oh God" I quickly walk in and close the door behind me "There's a cute girl here for you Ben, Kate?"

I turn and before I can close the door I can hear Ben.

"It's not what you think"

*****Kara's Pov

"It's not what you think" Ben tells me quickly as I move to find my bra. I can't find it, I find my shirt and put it on. "Kara please just wait" Ben fumbles around I hold my head high "s**t" Ben curses.

I walk to my room Ben hot on my heels I slam the door in his face. I grab my bag and shove everything I have pulled out into it. I guess it couldn't last forever.
