"Something smells wonderful" Ben smiled
"Hope you're in the mood for roast beef, mashed potatoes, and string beans" She smiled
"I'm in the mood to eat certainly" He walked in
That statement sent fire throughout Miranda. She was sure he meant the dinner but deep down she hoped he meant throwing her back on her bed and burying his head between her legs. She shamed herself for the thought briefly before escorting him to the kitchen. They sat at the counter
"The inside of your home is just as lovely as the outside" Ben looked around
"Tuck and I decorated" She smiled
"You both have good taste" He chuckled "Have you talked to him since I've been here"
"I have but I haven't mentioned you. I'm not sure what to tell him"
"Well let's discuss that over dinner" Ben nodded
Miranda sat the plates in front of them and sat next to Ben. She poured them some wine.
"How do you make the roast beef so tender" He asked
"Miranda's secret recipe" She gave him a wink
"I want to learn all your secrets" He smirked and drank his wine
"Before this night dives into innuendos we should talk"
"You pushed me away but I didn't fight either. I ran a way. You told me you needed space because I wasn't there during the shooting and yet I didn't see that it was cry for help. You may have pushed but I left"
"I'm at fault here Ben"
"Miranda I understand you were not in a healthy frame of mind. Something traumatic happened. Remember you yell when you're scared. In other words you lash out to seem stronger and more in charge than you feel. Being in a serious relationship meant you weren't in total control. It was easier to send me away than face something so serious" He looked at her "Am I right"
"How do you know me so well after all this time"
"I don't. But listening to you is giving me a good idea" He nodded "A heart attack"
She nodded "few years ago" She showed him the slightly faded yet still visible scar.
"Stress" He looked at her
"Snuck right up on me" She sighed
"The OCD" He asked
"Diagnosed after an incident where 3 patients died"
"Died" He looked at her but decided not to pry instead he got up and wrapped his arms around her " I wish I there so I could do this for you" He hugged her tight
"Ben" She breathed in his cologne
"I want you to be my girlfriend again Miranda. I want us. But I need to know you won't just pause us" He looked at her
"I ruined us 15 years ago. I can't imagine ruining us again" She rested her hand on his cheek
"You try what you tried 15 years ago now. I would fight like hell for you" He kissed her. The familiar fire built inside both of them. Instead of fighting it they both gave into the fire. Ben removed his tie and threw it on the ground. He lifted her and sat her on the counter standing between her legs. He broke away from the kiss to admire her
"It's been a minute" He chuckled
"Likewise" She chuckled
"You're beautiful, you know that" He kissed her again
"Tell me again" She whispered in his ear
"You. Are. So.Beautiful" He kissed down her neck between each word. She was putty in Ben's hands. He wondered how much had changed about her body in the gap between the years they last were together. He kissed her collarbone down to her breast causing a moan to escape her lips. Yeah he still knew what made her tick.
"What do you plan to do tonight Benjamin Warren" She seductively asked him
"See I was too gentlemanly to ask for sex on the first date" He chuckled "But if you're offering to hell with being a gentleman" He went back to passionately attacking her lips with his own. Their tongues fighting for dominance and ultimately his winning. She hastily unbuttoned his shirt and he lifted hers above her head.
"I like the idea of to hell with being a gentleman" She broke from the kiss for air and admired his body. He must work out in L.A.
"Trying to keep up with a 13 year old will do this for ya" He flexed a little. She grabbed his muscles and gave them a squeeze
"Mr.StrongMan" She smirked
"You have no idea" He lifted her up wrapping her legs and around him. unzipping her skirt as they walked. She giggled and pointed him into the direction of her bedroom. He laid her back on the bed never breaking their kiss. He removed her skirt and her underwear in one swift motion and slipped two fingers inside her making her gasp. He slowly pumped his fingers in and out. He knew he wasn't going to do this for long
because he needed to be inside her ASAP. She gripped everything she possibly could including Ben.
He smirked and moved down between her legs throwing them over his shoulders. He thought back to his statement about being ready to eat. This was the definition of that. He licked and sucked to his heart's desire. savoring the taste of the women he loved on his tongue causing him to moan. He is so nasttyyy. Miranda thought to herself. But she wasn't complaining
"Just like old times huh" He smirked up at her pausing only briefly. She arched against his tongue and threw her head back. Ben knew she was reaching her peak but he didn't relent. he was going to let her ride the wave right against his tongue. Damn was he nasty. He thought to himself.
Ben smirked with her juices on his face. He let her take a breather as he removed the remainder of his own clothes. She was still laying on the bed eyes closed gripping the sheets. He laughed and climbed on top of her kissing her. She felt his erection against her still sensitive area and she shuddered. She tasted herself on his lips and she knew that was hot to him. So she moaned in his ear "Guess I do taste good huh". Ben gulped at the unexpected comment
"You ready" He asked positioning himself at her entrance
"Are you" She smirked
As he slowly inserted she gripped the sheets and felt a moan growing at the back of her throat.
"Ben" She gasped
"That's right say my name" He smirked
He started off slow before increasing the pace. He wanted this to last forever but unfortunately the way he felt right now he was going to bust any minute. He looked at the love of his life. This is perfection he thought as he pumped in and out of her. Soon they reached their climaxes together and collapsed back on the bed
"Wow" She kissed him
"Damn girl. That grip" He laughed "I missed you. I didn't realize it until we were laughing today at lunch but I've missed you"
"I've missed you too" She kissed him
"I don't want to leave this spot" He rubbed her leg which was thrown across him as she rested on his chest
"I am supposed to have you back by tomorrow morning" She chuckled
"I need a rest after that" He leaned back into the pillow "I'll leave early enough to get to my hotel before the conference
"Are you sure" Miranda asks him. She didnt get an answer. "Ben" She looked at him and he was soundly sleeping. Put that ass to bed she laughed to herself
