Bonus (I): Very different
Last Updated:
2022-02-28 18:40:38It’s different in the university. Very different. Nobody gives a shit if you are in school. Well, Ben does. I am not allowed to miss classes except I have really important photoshoots. Even at that, Ben hardly lets me get away with it. Mum likes it. In her own words: Ben keeps me grounded. Too grounded sometimes, I think.
My car backs away from our apartment’s garage and onto the main road. Ben left before me but I’ll have to pick him up later. It’s our first year of living together but I think we do okay. I roll down the windows to let the cool afternoon air in.
There was a photoshoot last week Sunday. These days, it’s easy for me to get modelling gigs since my face is pretty familiar now. Plus, everyone wants to jump on the chance to show off the girl with a different skin. It’s annoying but I’m used to it. Sometimes, I get letters or emails from other girls living with vitiligo. And they are glad to be represented.&nbs

Bullied By The Badboy Bonus (II): The love of my life
Ben wakes with my mouth around his dick. He shoots up from the bed and my hands clamp down on his thighs. Taking his length into my mouth, my tongue swirls around his dick. Face scrunched, Ben gives me a thumbs up. I manage a smile, sucking till the salty taste of his sperm overwhelms my senses.I flash him my teeth and a warning flits across his face. He is too cute. Cum shoots down my throat, I swallow and stick out my tongue at him. Ben drags me up and ruffles my hair. I swat his hand but it only comes down to mess up my hair again.“That’s the only way to wake a man up,” Ben says, his grin big enough to light up a stadium.I laugh. “You’re not yet a man, Benny.” Ben will turn twenty-one in how many months time? Four or five? I’m not sure anymore. “You’re a boy.”“A boy, huh?” He flips me under him. I cross my arms on my chest but he holds my hands above my head. “Can a boy...” he starts as his other hand trails up my leg, pushing my nightgown up my thigh. I gasp when

BENMy fingers move rapidly on the keyboard. I skim through the names on the screen, jot down a few names on my notepad and make the required changes. Working in this firm isn’t so bad. The others complain but I find it interesting. Maybe because I spend less time here than they do. I type in the last name and input the necessary figures. Flexing my fingers, I grin at my laptop screen. I’m done for the day. I pick up my phone and the screen lights up with a picture of Gracie smiling at the camera. She’s hugging a teddy bear. It’s from one of her photoshoots but taken with my new phone, her last birthday gift to me. On my less busy days, I accompany her to the shoots. It’s always fun till they ask me to join in on the pictures. I love taking pictures with Gracie but not to have them on the cover of some magazine. I send Gracie a text, then another. No reply. She must be preparing for the play, that means I need to get out of here now or I

A look of fear flashes across her face. She levels me with a stare that shows she’s trying to control her temper. It’s unfair that I have to watch her kiss other guys under the guise of it being part of the job. “You are just making up scenarios that don’t exist,” she says. “Your job doesn’t even require it, Benny.” “But your job does...” I twist my hands so hard they ache. She doesn’t get it. “...and I don’t like it, Gracie.” Various emotions flicker on her face. She opens and closes her mouth twice without saying a word. The third time, she murmurs, “You asked me to trust you when Elena was involved, right?” I did. And I’ve established boundaries at the office, at school too. For fuck’s sake, she’s my screensaver, I wear my ring. They know I belong to Gracie. “So, can you please trust me on this one? It’s just a job, babe.” “Babe, it’s not the same.” Gracie stomps her feet in annoyance. I grit my teeth. She’s not the only one getti

The mixer whirrs to life. I throw in more flour, add three eggs and whisk the batter into a smooth mix. Calum, my unwilling apprentice, watches from behind the counter. He came in last night. On my command, Calum oils the pans for the cake and turns on the oven. Done, he edges close to me. I swat his hand before he dips his finger into the mix. “Come on, Tessa. I came all this way, let me have some.” I roll my eyes. He came all this way, uninvited but I’m happy to see him. I empty the batter into the small pan. We will eat from that. “Just a taste.” “Fine.” I shove the spatula in his face and he snatches it from me. My face scrunches in disgust when he licks the spatula clean like a hungry dog. “Calum, what’s wrong with you?” He shrugs. “Nothing?” It feels like there’s something but I continue emptying the batter into the pans. When I’m done, I bring out the ingredients for the icing. Today is Ben’s

The drive to Ben’s office is a blur. I’m out of the car and in front of his office in a flash. I miss him. And I haven’t seen him in eight hours.I knock once on the door and open before he ushers me inside. Locking the door behind me, I bridge the gap between us and crush him in a hug. We live in the same house but God, I want to be in his presence all the time.“You’re back so early,” Ben says against my lips. I kiss him hard to make up for the hours without any kisses. Ben chuckles and hoists me on the edge of his desk. Then, he stands between my legs. “I missed you too, babe.”I grin. “I missed you more.”Ben touches his forehead to mine. “You’re here,” he says. His smile is sad. I nod against his body and his hands slip into my gown. I help him with the zip and pout. “I didn’t think you would make it today.”I had a pho

Where is Ben? We will be late.I step out of the bathroom in only a towel and sashay to the wardrobe to get the gown for our date. There are a few options but I select a navy blue off-shoulder gown. Flipping through my playlist, I settle on Maria’s new single and settle down in front of the vanity to make myself up.A smile curves my lips as I brush my hair. I don’t look so bad at all. The makeup tutorial classes on YuuTube and Maria’s extra sessions come in handy as I apply foundation to my face. My gaze flies to the door. I’m in my room. Ben wasn’t in his room when I checked but he should be getting ready.The door creaks. I look up but Ben doesn’t walk in. My eye makeup is done. I apply a bright red lipstick and the door finally opens. Ben stalks into the room wearing a tux. My man is hot but in a suit and Oxford leather shoes, he is hotter. He closes the door with his foot and leans on it so I can assess

I feel the stare before I turn to Maria. “Will you stop?” I mutter. She says nothing but her eyes lower to my swollen belly, making it so obvious she had been staring. “Maria Vega.”“Theresa Carter.”Pink colours my cheeks. I hide my face in my palms and she bursts out laughing. It still feels so surreal being Mrs Carter, Ben’s wife. Our wedding was small and private like we both wanted. Aside from our family, we had our friends. Maria. Leah. Mira. Calum. Olivia also showed up. She and Ben are still in contact. We are kind of cool.Thinking about the wedding makes me smile and I twist the ring on my forth finger. My promise ring remains on my middle finger.I sit up and cross my legs.

Bullied By The Badboy Thank You
I feel like sexual assault against the male genders is not talked about as much as in the case of the female genders. As a friend to a few males who have been molested by people who were supposed to care for them, I knew I had to write about it someday. And I hope I was able to bring awareness to this, however little, through Ben. It’s never okay to molest a child. It’s never okay to molest anyone. That being said, here are some fun facts about this book; 1. It’s my first attempt at teenfiction. I was almost certain readers would notice and call me out on that. 2. BBTB was supposed to be a short story project. I was so worried it would be a flop so I planned to make it between 40-80 chapters. But the story grew wings and took off on its own. 3. This is the longest story I have ever written. I am just as surprised as you are and I was pleasantly shocked to see comments wanting their lovestory to go on for much longer. Those comments kept me going even on the bad days. So, thank y
Bullied By The Badboy Bonus (VIII*): Benjamin Junior
It hurts too much. My body is on fire and it’s not yet right to push. Why isn’t it time? I need them to get the baby out of me. Not later, now. Sweat drips down my forehead and my eyes sting with tears. The doctor has stopped the bleeding. I have been cleaned up, changed into a hospital gown. They say everything is fine but it’s not. The contractions are ripping me from inside out and all Ben does is mutter unintelligible gibberish. He put the baby inside me, he should experience the pain too. “Are you okay?” Ben asks. I glare at him. How can I be okay? Whatever the doctor gave me is keeping me awake so I have no respite from the pain. Ben pushes my hair away from my sweaty forehead and I lean into him for comfort. I’m tired but I’m glad our son is okay. “I’m sorry, Gracie,” my husband says. Pushing past my pain, I offer him a questioning glance. Maddie is fine, right? My parents are okay too, right? Ben wipes the tears spill
Bullied By The Badboy Bonus (VIII): Breathe through it
I am packing up for Maddie’s weekend getaway when Ben strolls into her room. He picks a toy from the floor, tosses it into the air and catches it. I stall when he crosses over to me. All his attempts to take over the packing from me are futile. He protests by shaking his head. I am pregnant, not handicapped.When the bag is zipped up, I lower myself to the bed to catch my breath. Maybe I should have let him do it. But he never lets me do anything.Worried eyes stare into mine as Ben kneels between my legs. I’m fine, just tired. I pick the stuffed bear he dropped on the bed and sniff it. It smells like Maddie. And if I listen closely, I’ll hear her voice as she sings along with her favourite characters on TV.Maddie’s grandparents—my parents are in town because I’m due next week. They don’t want to miss it. She’s spending the weekend with them.Ben pries the bear from me and traces the
