I stand in front of the mirror, smoothing out my dress and taking a deep breath. I’m nervous about tonight. Ben and I have been spending more time together lately, and the sexual tension between us is off the charts.
“Are you ready?” Ben’s voice comes from behind me, and I turn to face him. He looks stunning in his suit, his eyes dark with desire.
“Almost,” I say, trying to keep my voice steady. “You look amazing.”
He steps closer, his hand reaching out to brush a strand of hair from my face. “You’re beautiful,” he says, his voice low and husky.
I feel myself melting under his touch, my body responding to his nearness. But then I remember my past dry spell and my independence.
“Ben,” I say, stepping back. “I need to be honest with you. I’m not sure if I’m ready for this.”
“Ready for what?” he asks, confusion crossing his face.
“Ready for whatever it is that’s happening between us,” I say, my voice shaking slightly. “I’ve been alone for so long, and I don’t want to rush into anything.”
“Hey,” he says, his voice softening. “I understand. And I’m not trying to rush you. I just want to explore this connection between us. See where it goes.”
I look up at him, seeing the vulnerability and openness in his eyes. It’s a side of him that I haven’t seen before, and it makes me want him even more.
“Okay,” I say, nodding slowly. “Let’s see where it goes.”
He smiles, his hand reaching out to take mine. “Good. Now let’s go have some fun.”
As we walk out the door, I feel a sense of excitement mingled with apprehension. This man, Ben, has awakened a passion in me that I thought was long gone. And I can’t wait to explore it further, even if it means letting go of my independence and giving in to his possessive nature.
As we drive to the restaurant, Ben tells me more stories about his time in the Navy. His voice is low and intense, and I can feel myself getting caught up in his energy. But at the same time, I’m still hesitant.
“Are you okay?” he asks, noticing my silence.
“Yeah,” I say, forcing a smile. “I’m just…nervous, I guess.”
“About us?” he asks, and I nod.
“Look,” he says, pulling the car over to the side of the road. “I know I can be a bit…domineering. But I promise you, I’ll always respect your boundaries. And I’ll never do anything that you’re not comfortable with.”
I feel a sense of relief wash over me, hearing him say those words. Maybe it’s possible for me to explore this connection without losing myself in the process.
“Thank you,” I say, leaning over to give him a quick kiss on the cheek.
“Anytime,” he says, his eyes locking onto mine. “Now let’s go have some fun.”

I step out of the restaurant and feel Ben’s hand on my lower back, guiding me towards the car. The night has been a blur of laughter, wine, and intense stares across the table.
“Did you have a good time?” he asks, opening the door for me.
“Amazing” I reply with a smile.
“Good,” he says, closing the door and walking around to get in the driver’s seat. “Because it’s not over yet.”
He takes my hand as we drive down the highway, his thumb tracing circles on my skin. The sexual tension between us is palpable, and I can’t help but feel myself getting aroused at the thought of what’s to come.
“Can I ask you something?” I say, turning to face him.
“Of course” he replies, never taking his eyes off the road.
“What do you want from me? I mean, really?”
