Mila“Spending time with you, doing whatever you want.”“Did you know I was going to call?”“Yeah, I did,” Skylar said and laughed. “You’re predictable.”“I wasn’t even supposed to have a single shift.”“I’m in touch with my psychic abilities.”I told her she was being full of shit and invited her over. Skylar and I arrived at my apartment at the same time.“You look exhausted,” she said after she hugged me and we walked in.“It’s been a rough week,” I said. “A lot of double shifts and we have a critical patient that’s getting me down.”We sat down in the living room, and I all but collapsed on the couch.“So, let’s talk about something completely different. How’s Ben?” Skylar asked.I sighed.“That’s not the reaction I expected,” she said. “What’s going on?”I told her what had happened.“Oh, I knew you slept together,” Skylar said when I told her that part.“What? How?”She gave me a look that suggested I was being an idiot.“Do you think I’m blind? You two were all over each other
BenOn Sunday evening, I drove with my mom to the Castle house. Paul had decided not to join us. Even though mom and Miranda had been friends since long before he had come into the picture, he never really made my mom’s friends his friends. My mom didn’t seem to mind.“You could have told me what was going on, you know,” my mom said. Of course, Miranda had told her that I was with Mila. This city, even though it was so big, was a gossip town. Or at least, the people in my life were.“I didn’t know if you would approve,” I said. But it wasn’t only that. I had been scared that Miranda would find out if my mom knew. Women never kept secrets from each other when they were best friends, and the story would have been far too juicy for my mom to ignore.“What are you talking about?” my mom asked. “Mila is a beautiful young lady. She’s just the kind of balance you need in your life.”“I wish Jerrod would feel the same way,” I said.“He’ll come around.”Everyone was saying that, but I knew him
BenEven though her blushing was cute, everything else about her was sexy. Mila was easily the most attractive woman I had ever seen, without even trying. She carried herself with grace, and she gave the impression that she was completely unaware of her beauty. Which only made it more so.“Let’s sit down,” Miranda said. “Harry just carved the meat.”Everyone jumped in, helping to carry the dishes of food to the large dining room table. When we sat down, I realized what was missing. Jerrod wasn’t here. He had been invited, but he hadn’t come. He was too upset with us, and his mom had invited both Mila and me for supper. There was no way it wasn’t a celebration of our relationship of sorts. The only person pissed off about what was going on between us was Jerrod.I could understand that he was upset about us lying to him, keeping our relationship a secret. But Jerrod was also upset that we were together in the first place. He had always been very protective of Mila, and I wasn’t sure he
MilaBen was kissing me like he was dying of thirst and I was water. His tongue was in my mouth, exploring, tasting. When he lifted me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist. My crotch was so close to his dick, his hands on my ass as he carried me to the bedroom.I hadn’t expected him to come over. When I’d opened the door and he’d been standing there, his eyes had been dark with lust, lips parted, and I had known exactly what was on his mind.It had been on my mind too, after the dinner tonight. I wanted him so badly.He hadn’t even given me a chance to say anything.When we reached my bedroom, Ben climbed onto the bed with me and laid me down on the mattress. My legs were already open for him, and he ground his cock against my pussy, ramping up the heat level. I moaned and ran my hands over his back.Ben moved from my mouth down my jaw to my neck, moving down toward my collarbone and then onto my chest. He cupped my breast with one hand and tugged the material of my blouse away with
BenI slowly slide his dick out of my mouth, licking and kissing and sucking as he slipped out of me. He swore under his breath and reached down to me. He took my hand and pulled me up.“You’re incredibly sexy,” he said.I kissed him, our tongues swirling around each other a few times.“Do you have a condom?” I asked.Ben nodded and fished in the pocket of his jeans. He produced a foil.“Always ready, huh?” I asked with a smile.“Only for you, sweetheart.”I moved down and pulled his jeans and boxers off, fighting them down his muscular thighs and finally dropping them on the floor. Ben tore the foil and rolled a condom over his hard shaft. When he was wrapped up and ready, I moved up his body again. I was on top of him the way I wanted. I positioned myself over him, his dick pressing against my entrance, and I gasped as I slid down onto him.He groaned, his hands on my hips, and I sat down so that he was buried inside of me. I shivered. He was so big. I leaned forward, pressing my li
BenThis time, when I woke up, I knew exactly where I was. And it was perfect.Mila still lay on my chest, her hair splayed over my shoulder and my arm as if we hadn’t moved all night. I was sure we had stayed like this, glued to each other, and it was fine by me. After the night we’d had last night, I wanted to be stuck to her for the foreseeable future.I closed my eyes and listened to her rhythmic breathing. Nothing was stopping us from being together, now. Everyone knew, and even though not everyone was happy about it, I could be here without worrying that someone was going to catch us. We could be together in public without hiding things or talking in some kind of code about what we really felt.It was a wonderful feeling after we had been sneaking around.My mind jumped to Jerrod, and I frowned, sadness creeping in. He hadn’t been at the dinner last night. It was only proof that he was really upset about what had happened. What if we never managed to fix it?Again, I thought abo
Ben“Not yet,” David said. “I’m working on it.”“Work harder,” I said. “I want to take care of this.”David assured me that he was doing what he could before we ended the call. I took a deep breath before heading back to the table where Mila waited for me. I was suddenly panicked about my safety. They had killed two people over this, already. But I didn’t want Mila to know that something was wrong. I forced my face to be neutral, and when I returned to the table and sat down, I smiled at Mila.“What was that?” she asked.“Just a business call,” I said.“Is everything okay?”I nodded. “Nothing serious.” I sounded a lot more relaxed about it than I felt, and I had managed that lie without difficulty. Point for me. Or was it, if I was lying to her? I was doing that a lot, lately to the people in my life. But I wasn’t going to tell her what it was about. She didn’t need to know the danger I was in, and I didn’t want her to be in any danger, at all. I didn’t want her involved.This was my
MilaSince I had seen Ben on Monday, I had been so busy at the hospital I’d barely had time to breathe, let alone fantasize about the night we’d had together. I’d settled for warmth spreading through my body when I flashed on an image of his naked body, or the way he’d touched me, or the way he’d looked at me.It had been enough to get me through.I had been upset with him for suggesting we throw it all away when he’d told me he considered moving back to New York. But it seemed like that was a thing of the past. Ben and I were better than ever, and I couldn’t be happier.“You were right,” I said to Skylar at dinner after my shift that night. “I just had to give him time to sort his shit out.” I had told her about the family dinner and how amazing everything had been. I had told her about my night with Ben afterward.“See, you should listen to me more often,” Skylar said with a wink.I laughed, but the laughter drained away, quickly.“What’s wrong?”“It was just a rough day at work.”“
