The Futile Effort

Part 9

EVA POV

I waited in the hotel lobby for Ben. He was late. After a while I saw him enter through the main entrance. I lifted my sluggish body off the couch and moved toward him. He smiled at the sight of me and wanted to kiss me on the lips, but I turned my face away and his lips hit my cheek. He looked at me questioningly, but I pointed to the reception desk with my head. We rented a room because I didn't want to talk to him in public. As the door closed, he put his arm around me, grabbing my bottom.

"Wow, you look even sexier pregnant." I felt his hard member poking me. Suddenly I felt hot. No wonder, I hadn't had sex in a few months. However, I pulled away from Ben and cleared my throat.

"Ben, I would like to end our relationship." I said simply, looking at him. There was a look of surprise on his face.

"Why? Come on. We're already good with each other. Soon you'll get rid of the ballast, hire a babysitter and we can live life to the fullest again." He said sweetly, winking at me.

"No Ben. I've thought through my decision. I don't want to hang out with you. I don't want anything to do with you."

He suddenly laughed humorously, pointing to my stomach.

"It's probably too late for that. You're carrying my baby."

"After all, you don't want him, so what's it to you?" I asked irritably.

"Yes, I don't care about it, but Jess cares about him, and I intend to profit from it." He replied in an icy tone, suddenly changing his stance. I've seen this before. He used this behaviour in court when he wanted to force something on witnesses.

"Let it go Ben. Jess won't give you a penny."

"She might not... but you will."

I laughed nervously.

"I don't have anything to interest you. My business won't turn a profit for a long time to come."

"Eva, baby, you know me like no one else. Do you think I'm going to let you off so easily? Remember, you were part of my plans for Jess." Ben said threatening me and stepping closer. "You will pay me not to say anything to your dear spouse."

"You know I have nothing in common with Jess except the contract. Nothing you say to her will endanger us." I told him, myself hearing the falseness in my voice. I cared about Jess. Ben could see that. He noticed the change in my behavior.

"You're lying. If you didn't care about her, you would you want to break up with me. You want to build a new life for yourself as Mrs. Hunter? Go ahead. I won't keep you or claim that brat in your belly. But you will pay me what I deserve." Ben squeezed out the last words. He was so close I could feel his breath on my lips.

I swallowed my saliva. I was trapped.

"What do you want?"

"I'll give you some account numbers to transfer in a few days. And I'll give you the amounts. You won't get rid of me easily, baby." He said after which he forcibly held my face and kissed me. Hard. His member still poked me. I moaned. I heard him chuckled.

"I know you feel like it. Come on... maybe one last time, huh? As proper goodbye?" He asked, kissing my neck. I tilted my head giving him access. I already felt that I had lost this battle with my body. I was dripping wet.

Ben unzipped the zipper of my dress in one motion. I kicked off my shoes, hastily forcing him to take off his jacket. I began to unbutton his shirt. By this time, he had managed to pull down my bra, and slip off my stockinged panties. He grabbed my swollen breasts in his hands. The nipples hardened under his touch. I moaned.
