Benjamin by Emma Lang Page B

there under Duffy. She hid behind him. Now you stand on your own.”
    She blinked. “I, uh, you’re right. I think I forgot about Grace.”
    He leaned forward and kissed her. He’d never felt anything like softness of her lips. She breathed out as he breathed in and in an instant, she was in his lap. He held her close, kissing her again and again. Their tongues danced and he found he really, really liked that kind of kissing.
    Her body was soft and warm in his arms, yet she was also sleek and muscled, the perfect combination. She turned and straddled him, pressing her heat against his throbbing cock.
    Ben hadn’t expected to react to a having a woman in his arms. Not like this. He was on fire, eager and trembling for more. He couldn’t keep his distance from Grace. Hell, he wasn’t sure he wanted to.
    She shimmied closer and pressed herself against him. A surge of raw heat thundered through him and he thrust upward.
    Grace gasped. “Do that again.”
    Who was he to say no? He complied with her order and both of them were short of breath and they didn’t even have their clothes off yet.
    “I need.” Her words were jerky. “Please, I need .”
    Ben had a choice. He could lose himself in her arms, let himself feel and experience. Or he could back away and continue on as they had been. He wished for the thousandth time he had one of his brothers to talk to. For now, Ben was on his own.
    Or rather, he had a woman in his arms he cared for, somehow through all of it, and he wanted to be with her. For now. Perhaps for always.
    He reached for her breasts, his decision made. She moaned low in her throat and pushed her breast farther into his hand. So incredibly soft, enough to make him moan right along with her.
    She unbuttoned her blouse, revealing the cream-colored chemise she wore. The outlines of her nipples were visible beneath the soft material. If possible, his cock grew harder, pushing against his buttons almost to the point of pain.
    “Take it off.” He surprised both of them, but she was quick to react, shedding her clothes within a minute. She stood before him, naked and exquisite.
    His hands shook as he wondered if he could go through with this. She helped him again by taking his clothes off, starting with his boots. A beautiful, naked woman kneeling before him was like a dream.
    Soon they were both unclothed and she could see him, and all his imperfections, inside and out. Grace glanced at the circular scars that peppered his chest, white against the color of his skin. She stepped closer and kissed each one. Instead of the shame and anger he felt each time he caught sight of the burn marks, he only felt the softness of her lips.
    She made her way up to his mouth, and he lost himself in the sparkle of her green eyes. They made their way, still attached at the lips, to the cushion of grass nearby. She pushed him to the ground and lay on top of him. Skin to skin. Heart to heart.
    The sensation of touching her from head to toe stole his thoughts. She was warm while the breeze was cool and the peeks of sun between the leaves of the trees shone on them. It was idyllic. His life was about to change in this little slice of paradise.
    She braced her hands on the ground and lifted up, displaying her hardened nipples. He cupped them and her eyes closed.
    “Mmmmm.” She pulled her knees forward until she knelt above him, her heat inches from his throbbing staff.
    Ben pulled her down for a kiss, to seal their mouths together as she moved to push his cock into her heat. Inch by inch, she joined the two of them together until he was fully embedded inside her.
    Time stopped.
    He forgot to breathe at the sensation of her body around him. It was the most perfect moment of his life. And it was because of Grace. She was exquisite.
    She sat up and he moved even farther within her welcoming body. She pulled his hands to her breasts and smiled at him. Then she began to move. The delicious friction sent shards of pleasure through
