“Ben!” she hissed, following his retreating back. He stopped and turned towards her, a frown puckering his forehead, and her thumb twitched with the need to reach up and smooth it away.
“Yeah?”
“I did it!” she squealed.
“Did what?”
She did a little wiggle of her hips. “I took a chance.”
He cleared his throat. “Oh yeah?”
“I asked Christy to read my story. Well, she insisted actually, but I’m going to send it to her, and she’s going to read it and let me have her thoughts.”
“That’s incredible!” he whooped and threw his arms around her. She laughed as he enveloped her, his scent invading her nostrils and she buried her face in his chest.
“I’m so proud of you, Kay,” he said, his palm smoothing a line down her spine and making her shiver.
“Kay. You’ve never called me Kay before,” she murmured, thinking of her online friend with kind-of benefits.
“Uh, new nickname, it just felt right.”
She pulled away and looked into his face, beaming down at hers and any awkwardness that she felt earlier washed away.
“That’s my girl,” he said, pride and heat tearing through her at his words. Then he lifted his hand and trailed a finger down the slope of her nose, slowly, their eyes connected the entire time, his promising her things she couldn’t name. She sucked in a breath, the sound ruining the moment and he broke the spell by booping the tip of her nose.Friend zoned.
“Thanks, I uh, just wanted to share that with you.”
“I’m glad,” he replied. And then suddenly that awkwardness settled over them again. She hated it, it had never existed until today and she didn’t know why. She opened her mouth to ask him, but he spoke first.
“I’d better get back out there, lots of thirsty wedding guests waiting.” He rocked forward on the balls of his feet, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his dress pants before he swiveled and disappeared.

Ben turned away from her, shutting out the excitement and triumph in her eyes that sparkled at him so invitingly and the smile that was so bright it was as though it had stripped the neon from all the lights. If he didn’t leave now, then he was liable to shove her against the nearest wall and reward her for being so brave and confident.
He had tried to avoid her all day, feeling like an asshole for what happened between them online last night. He had taken things way too far, but she was getting under his skin like no one else had, carving her way through his veins and heading directly for his heart.
He knew he was half in love with her when he took the risk of moving here, but now? Now she was pretty much settled there for all eternity. Only he was stuck in this weird limbo of being her close friend online and her friend in real life where they had kinda, sorta shared a super-hot kiss and he didn’t know where to go from there.To the bedroom would be my advice, his dick piped up. But that was the problem last night, being around Kayleigh all evening had him all riled up. He hadn’t been thinking with the right piece of his anatomy and he had potentially ruined everything between them. He shouldn’t have sent those messages. It was wrong and he was muddying the water of any potential future they had.
He had been so nervous to see her today, hating that she didn’t know she was talking to him online, and that was another asshole move on his part. He wanted to tell her the truth, but he also didn’t want to change the path they were on in real life. He was just an asshole all round right now. And this asshole needed to get away from her fast before he took things even further.
He headed back down the corridor, away from her. He could see customers, wedding guests, the bridal party, for fuck’s sake, he was so close to getting away from her.
And then suddenly, he wasn’t.
“Ben, wait,” she said, gripping his arm and that was all it took. Her dainty fingers, wrapping around the flesh of his forearm. Then she was pressed against the wall, his pelvis pinning her in place, his mouth crushing to hers, capturing the surprised moan that quickly turned erotic beneath the sweep of his tongue. His hand tangled in her hair, tugging slightly to change the angle, to sink deeper. Her hands gripped his shoulder, her fingers digging in and holding on as he worked her over.
His little bad girl.
Laughter from the bar pulled him from the depths of his desire, reminding him where they were.
He broke the kiss. “Come with me,” he whispered urgently. She nodded and he grasped her hand, pulling her through the kitchen and out the back door, around the side of the building. She rounded on him, shoving him against the wall, his cock swelling further against the seam of his pants at her aggression. He gripped her thighs beneath her little black skirt that had teased him all damn day, sliding up and around to the curve of her ass, his fingers spreading wide to cover her cheeks.
“Finally,” she murmured, her sweet breath fanning his face. Her arms ran up his torso and latched around his neck. She slid her tongue across his bottom lip and he huffed out a breath then buried his face, trailing kisses up her neck, sucking hard, determined to put his mark on her.
His fingers found the way to the front of her blouse, shaking and fumbling with need as he tried to unbutton it, pulling the blouse to one side. A guttural noise left his throat as her delicate hand palmed his cock, squeezing tightly.
He pulled her bra to the side and dipped his head taking her pretty pink nipple into his mouth and her fingers dove through his hair, tugging sharply. His tongue flicked back and forth, fast and she rubbed herself against his crotch. He pulled his mouth away with apopand nipped the skin around her breast then moved to her other nipple, his fingers playing with its damp twin.
