“You okay?” he whispered, out of breath.
“Please don’t stop,” she reassured him, tightening her grip around his neck. He let out a low growl as he softly pushed her backwards onto the couch. She eagerly exposed her neck when he kissed it, his lips eagerly running down to her shoulder. They breathed hard, faces flushed, lips glistening.
“You’re so beautiful,” he moaned and kissed her again. There was no response to that. His kisses felt hot and his hard body against hers robbed her of all senses and logic. Her fingers frantically went for his shirt, loosening the buttons. He took off her dress and moved back to admire her, looking at her as if this was all just a dream, too beautiful to be real.
“I’m burning,” he whispered with a smile, his eyes piercing into hers.
“Me too.” She could barely speak.
He lowered himself onto her, planted soft kisses over her body as he moved downwards. Her fingers clawed at his back. She was paralyzed by an intense shiver of lust and anticipation. Butterflies spread all the way from her stomach into her fingertips. How could something feel sowonderful? She gasped when his lips got closer to her center.
He was gentle. Her heart was thumping fast. It had been so long since she’d felt a man’s touch and yet, no man had ever awoken such deep desires like Benjamin did…
”…My husband…” she whispered.
Just when Benjamin thought he could not get any more aroused, he heard her soft voice call him her “husband.” For a brief second he froze, swept away by the overwhelming feelings it triggered in him. She was his and his alone. A bond stronger than any other connection. Not only on a piece of paper, but in his heart and soul and everything else he had to give.
He looked down at the woman beneath him. Never had he felt like this before. She was so beautiful; his heart could burst.
She opened her legs wide for him to receive him, her eyes begging for him to claim her. He let out a loud growl as she rubbed against him. Kissing her gently, he finally entered her. The little cry that had escaped her lips in response was more than he could take.Was it possible to die of lust?Benjamin was burning, every inch of his body on fire as he moved back and forth, enjoying the warmth of her skin on his.
The moans and sounds of pleasure grew louder as they moved to the same rhythm, slowly at first and then at a much faster pace, fueled by an unseen hunger. He wanted it to last forever, this feeling, but at the same time both of them could not bear to wait a moment longer. Their groans grew louder, bodies gliding back and forth. She let out a short whimper and threw her head back, her body trembling underneath him.
Feeling her body shiver under his, her hands holding him tightly, he grunted and kissed her, feeling an explosion of ecstasy rushing through his own body.
It took him a moment to gather himself. This was the most intense experience of his life. What a fool he had been with those women before her. Nothing would ever come close to what he felt with Ava, his wife.
Benjamin slowly pushed up onto his elbows. They had no idea how or when, but somehow they had ended up on the floor. Ava looked around, giggled.
The movie still running in the background, he looked down at her in disbelief about how much she meant to him. And before he could even think about what to say to her, his heart did it for him:
“I love you.”
Ava’s eyes widened as she stared at him in silence. He almost panicked. Did he scare her away?
“I-I am sorry, I—”
But she interrupted him with a passionate kiss. “I love you too,” she whispered against his lips. “I always have.”
For Ava and Benjamin, the next few weeks were nothing short of surreal. Never had Ava felt heartache like this before, but when she was away from Benjamin, she longed for him, impatiently checked her watch to see when the day was done, and she could finally drive home to him. She found herself unable to wait to feel his touch, or the gentle caress of his fingers when he held her close.
Most of the time he was already eagerly waiting for her. The Radcliff real estate empire never slept, and yet he was the one who came home first.Was he moving his appointments around to be there when she got home?She wanted to think so. And in fact, she was right.
Usually they had dinner together and after that went for lengthy, aimless walks in the gardens, laughing like they did when they were children one moment, then talking about politics and God and the world the next.
On several occasions, Ben’s eyes flashed with dark passion when he looked at her, and if the environment allowed for it, her would pull her close to kiss her. Sometimes gently, other times as if there was no tomorrow. But shockingly it was Ava who lost control of herself on a few occasions.
One time, when Ben had pulled her into a hidden corner in the hallway to kiss her passionately, she had dragged him into the closet close by and locked the door behind them. Her body was on fire and she needed to feel him, all of him. He had claimed her right there and then, both drunk of love and lust.
"For the first time since my father died," he said to her one day, holding her close, "I feel truly and deeply happy."
She'd said nothing—finding what to say seemed almost too difficult. She could have told him how happy she was; how things felt different now... but something told her that he already knew.
By the time the six months were finally over, something that had started out as a nightmare had turned into the center of their lives. They both craved each other’s love, wishing for it to last forever. And even if they never really spoke about it, both knew that at the upcoming six months meeting with Elijah Radcliff’s lawyer, neither of them would sign those divorce papers…
