Innocence (Ben Bruce)

Chapter 41

I awoke with the sun shining upon my face through the curtains

"Ugh" I groaned and rolled on my side. It was way too early for the sun. Time. Time. What time is it?

I opened my eyes to look at my scrawny clock on my bedside table.

'7:15 AM' It read

"UUGGHH" I groaned louder and rolled on my stomach. Why am i awake at fucking 7:15 AM? Why? Why? Why does my body do this to me?

I closed my eyes and breathed deeply.

I felt something move and with the corner of my right eye, I saw Ben. Wow. I had forgotten I slept with him. Well, if you say it in that way, it sounds like we had sex. But we didn't. Unless, he raped me in my sleep.

But i doubt it.

I turned my face to look at him, and he just looked so beautiful. He looked peaceful, like nothing in the world could bother him. I extended my arm to brush some hair out of his eyes and he opened his mouth. I smiled. I curled his hair in my fingers and barely touched his scalp. A soft breath escaped his lips. My smiled grew. I traced lines of his hair and scratched his scalp just a little. He twitched and i laughed lowly

"You know, now that I'm awake, i might just fall asleep again if you keep doing that" Ben breathed. I giggled

"Don't act like you don't like it Ben"

"Oh i love it. It feels so good" He smiled. leaned in and kissed his forehead, then pulled away

"Nooo, come back" He whined opening his eyes. I laughed and kissed his forehead again

"Why my forehead?" He asked

"Why not?" I said

"How about you kiss somewhere else?" He asked taking his bottom lip between his teeth

"Hm, okay" I leaned in and kissed his cheek, them his temples, then his other cheek, and his nose. Then I kissed his chin and both of his eyes "There ya' go" I laughed

"Oh C'mon" He pouted

Oh....His.....Lips......... Not giving up.

"Fine" I lifted his chin with my hand and kissed his neck slowly.

His chest rose "Rachel" He breathed biting his lips with his eyes shut

"Yes?" I asked

"D-Do that again"

"What? this?" And i proceeded to press my lips against his neck his a repeated lingering kiss. Ben quickly sat up, picked me up and sat me on top of him. Ben was panting and something in me wanted him

"Oh whats wrong?" I asked trying not to smile

"Don't tease me Rachel, please"

"I'm not doing anything" I laughed

"Can i kiss you?"

"What?" I asked shocked

"Can.I.Kiss.You?"

"Yes Ben, you can kiss me" I breathed. He smiled, cupped my face with both hands and placed his soft lips on mine.

This moment, right now, was one of the single best moments in my life. Just kissing Ben. This is perfect. Right here, Right now, it couldn't get any better.

I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and pulled him closer. Ben groaned into my mouth and i pulled back to look in to his eyes. I smiled and said

"You mean so much to me"

He smiled and kissed me again. Ben slid his hands up the back of my shirt and untied my bra. He backed away from my face and placed his hands on my thighs. I nodded in confirmation and slid my arms out of the sleeves of my shirt, then tore it off. Ben sighed and slid the straps off my shoulder then dropped the royal blue bra to the floor.
