Confronting Fear

Just You

And all my life
I've been waiting for someone like you
To make me smile
You make me feel alive
And you're giving me everything
I've ever wanted in life
You make me smile
And I forget to breathe
What's an angel like you
Ever do with a devil like me

Smile - Sixx AM

Smut alert, but you probably already knew that!

Miracle was not a word Ben used often, but it was a miracle that they'd somehow made it to Rey's rooms without being seen. The whole way there Rey's form flitted at the edge of his fingertips, always out of reach, teasing him with those swathes of bare skin.

Only with the door locked tight did he finally trail his fingers down her bare sides with a whisper light touch, mentally smacking himself for not having had the foresight to remove his gloves.

Rey's lashes, made darker by the cosmetics she wore, flitted against the tops of her cheeks. She tilted her chin upwards, red lips ready to receive his kiss. Ben made a split second decision to take a chance, to go straight for her neck instead, nuzzling at the sensitive spot below her ear before nipping. She made a sound that instantly made every drop of blood in Ben's body run south. Slowly, ever so slowly, he trailed hot, open mouthed kisses along Rey's slender neck, she tilted her head slightly back to give him easier access to her throat though he had the much maligned necklace to contend with.

Rey's breathing grew ragged as Ben peppered the dip between her perfect breasts with light nips and soft kisses. Her fingers twisted into his hair while his own hands tightened around her waist, steadying her as she wobbled on the heels she wasn't quite used to wearing yet.

Ben dropped to his knees as he continued lower, his gloved hands finding her satin and lace covered bottom.

"Ben, I..." she gasped out.

He paused, pressing his cheek to the bare skin of her side, wrapping his arms around her, holding her to him. "Do you want me to stop?" he asked quietly, awaiting her judgement with bated breath.

Her fingers, already tangled in his hair loosened their grip as her palms moved forward so that she was holding the exposed side of his face and the back of his neck.

"No."

Ben's heart skipped a beat.

"No." she repeated a little more steadily. "No, I don't want you to stop."

No words had ever sounded sweeter to Ben's ears as he deftly removed the gloves that he used as a barrier between himself and the rest of the universe, a barrier that did not exist between the two of them. His left hand moved to the bare stretch of skin at her waist that he could finally feel now that the gloves were gone, while his right found the outside of her left thigh left so temptingly exposed by the high slit in her skirt.

Rey nearly toppled over as Ben's lips caressed the inside of her thigh, his mouth so close to there. Instead of moving upwards however, his lips traveled down along the inside of her thigh to her knee then her calf, his hands holding the deep green satin away from her. Before she even knew what had happened, she was folded into Ben's arms as he carried her to bed.

He laid her down carefully, propping her into a half sitting position before climbing over her, straddling her with his muscled thighs.

She lay still as Ben's nimble fingers unhooked the clasp of the Hapan necklace, setting it unceremoniously on the nightstand as his tongue found the base of his Rey's throat where the rainbow gem had been nestled moments before. The last thing he wanted at the moment was the Hapan prince's gift on her.
