I swallow. This is the kind of situation that occupies my fantasies. “Why?”
He dims the main light. “You know why.”
I do. And so I follow him to the stockroom. There are no cameras back here. I’m not afraid anyone will see whatever it is we’re about to do.
There’s a long wooden bench that slices through the middle of the stockroom. Ben takes a seat and pats the space beside him but I hesitate. The room is lit by a single low watt overhead bulb and once I shut the door behind me it seems so small.
Ben stays put while I linger by the door. “That’s a nice dress.”
“Thanks. Adela made it for me.”
“It suits you. You look even prettier than usual.”
I’ve never been good at accepting compliments. I don’t know what to do with a compliment from Ben Beltran.
And then he gives me another one.
“You’re a really beautiful girl, Camden. I’ve always thought so.”
My breath is caught in my chest and I can’t look at him. I stare at a cracked green floor tile instead.
“Come over here,” he whispers.
I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m out of my mind.
I sit down next to him.
Ben takes a moment to look me up and down. Then he smiles.
“Damn,” I mutter.
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing. I just don’t know why you have to be so good looking.”
He chuckles. I want to tape my mouth closed so I don’t make any other dumb comments.
But, alas, I have no tape. And so the words just keep coming.
“Ben, I’ve never…”
I’ve lost track of my own sentence. I just let it hang there and I stare at him.
“Yeah, I kind of guessed you never did.” He lifts an eyebrow. “Have you been close?”
“Not really.” I don’t know why I’m confessing my secrets but now that I’ve started I can’t seem to stop. “I mean, it’s not like I’ve never been kissed or had my shirt off.”
He’s interested. “Go on.”
“That’s it. It was nice.”
“Nice.” He laughs. Then he notices that I’m edging away from him and getting annoyed so he drops his smile. “Hey, can I ask you something?”
“Sure,” I grumble. “Might as well complete my humiliation.”
He leans closer. “Has anyone ever made you come?”
Ben’s voice is layered with sex and experience and I’m ashamed that his words get me hot.
