Spirit Love

Part 6

Miranda woke up the next morning and turned and looked at the clock.  She had slept till noon.  She sat up in the bed and took her phone off the nightstand and saw two messages from Marcus. The first was at 9:00 am

"Good morning beautiful. I hope you got plenty of rest."

The next one was an at 11:30.

 "I haven't heard from you. Are we still on for tonight?"

Miranda typed.

"Good afternoon, Dr.  Carrington, I'm sorry did not respond sooner.  I just woke up.  Yes, we are on for tonight. What time should I expect you?"

Miranda set down her phone, but it immediately buzzed so she picked it up again.

"Good, now I know you are well rested.  I will be there at 6:00."  

Miranda typed 

"Okay "

She set the phone back down and got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.  She was wearing a white silk two-piece pajama set that was a pair of shorts and a Cami.   She put on some slippers and walked out of her room.  When she walked past Ben's room, she called his name

 "Ben?"

Ben appeared through the door.  His eyes instantly went to the top of her pajamas, and he could see her very prominent nipples peeking through the sheer material.  He disappeared and reappeared at the bottom of the stairs. 

"Ben what the hell are you doing?"

She said shocked when she saw him at the bottom of the stairs

"Um Miranda can you put on a robe.  I am still a man I should not be seeing you dressed like that."

Miranda looked down and smirked when she saw her own nipples on full display.

"Oh, I'm sorry Ben I'll go get one"

Miranda walked back into her room and got her robe and put it on. Before walking out she thought about Ben and how if he was alive, he would definitely be the man of her dreams.  He was everything his parents described a person should be when finding the spiritual love of your life.   She shook her head and felt a little sad knowing that it was impossible seeing as though he was dead.  She walked back out of her room and walked down the stairs.  Ben smiled and said,

"Thank you for doing that."  

Miranda smiled and walked into the kitchen with Ben behind her.

"Why did that bother your so?" 

Miranda asked.  Ben looked at her as she began to make coffee.  He could smell the distinct aroma of it, and he liked it.  He stared at her, and he could not deny how beautiful she was, nor could he deny the physical attraction he had toward her.  He didn't want to lie about this either, he felt that she was always owed the truth, so he said,

"Miranda.  When you are around me.....my body does things."

"Things....what do you mean things?"

"Miranda don't make me say it."  

"Come on Ben stop being mysterious.  What things are you talking about?"

Miranda asked seriously because she had no idea what he was talking about. 

"Miranda my body reacts in a way it should when someone is sexually attracted to another."

The light bulb went off in Miranda's head. 

"You mean you get an erection?"

Miranda said as if someone else was in the kitchen with them

"Yes, Okay... I'm sorry.  I am so ashamed.  I do not know why this is a happening and you should not be looked at in that way.  I mean you are gorgeous and sexy, but you should be looked at with respect and not like a piece of meat.  I see you as more, but my body has a mind of its own.  I mean none of this makes any sense"
