Worthington Wives

Chapter Six

After her parents left, Reyanna turned and looked at Ben. “So what do we do now, warden?” She asked, teasing him. “Well….how about some hot buttered popcorn and a movie?” He suggested, lifting an eyebrow to see her reaction.

Reyanna was in jeans and a tee shirt at the time. “Could I shower and put on my pjs first?” She asked.

“That’s a great idea! I think I will do the same,” he said, smiling at her.

The two sat on opposite ends of the sofa with throws across their laps and bowls of popcorn watching Aquaman on tv. “It’s nice to have your company, Reyanna. I rarely watch TV because it’s boring by myself,” Ben admitted.

Reyanna smiled at him. “This has been fun. I enjoyed it. Thank you, Ben,” she said, meaning her words.

“Well, I have a meeting in the morning, so I’m going to bed, but stay up as long as you want. Do you want a tablet to play on or anything?” He asked.

“No thanks, I’m going to bed as well. I feel bad taking your nice bedroom, though,” she said.

“It has been prepared for you to enjoy. You are a guest here. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he told her.

“I will leave very early, but Evelyn will be here around 7am, so tell her what you would like for breakfast whenever you get up. Also, decide about your lunch and I’d like for you to plan our dinner. I get home about five and we will have our evening meal together,”he said.

“Reyanna,” he said softly, coming closer. Reyanna could feel the electricity radiating from his body so close to hers. “Consider this your home. Your wishes will be honored both here and at the mansion. Speak and it will be done,” he told her, staring into her big brown eyes.

Ben could not help but let his gaze drop to Reyanna’s soft moist lips. He wanted to pull her close and taste of them. He could feel his heart beating faster and his breathing speeding up just staring at her.

“Ben?” She asked timidly. Ben came out of his thoughts to look at her. “How shall I refer to you in front of people? Should I call you Mr Worthington?” She asked.

Ben c****d his head and studied her adorable face and smiled. “I will be highly offended if you don’t call me Ben,” he said tenderly. (Or honey he thought to himself).

“Good night, Reyanna. Sleep well, sweet lady,” he said as he turned and entered his room.

Reyanna stood thinking about his kind words and smiled. “Okay then…..Ben…sweet gentleman,” she said after he had closed his door.

Ben lay on the bed in the guest room which would be his room now. His thoughts drifted to a pretty little nurse with big brown eyes and soft moist lips. He thought of her shapely little body that he wanted to hold tightly in his arms and kiss til the morning light.

Ahh, but he promised her parents he would take care of her and protect her. He assured them she was safe here with him.

Okay, Ben decided, I will keep Reyanna at arms distance….for now. He could hold her in his dreams,though, he thought as he closed

his eyes, smiling contentedly.
