The protest doesn’t have any actual protesting behind it as her back comes to rest against the door jamb that leads to the captain’s quarters on the Miss Mystic. Ben crowds in not long after, pressing his torso up against hers as he nudges her legs apart gently, and his lips move towards her neck.
“Is that a stop?” he asks as his breath ghosts against her skin, making her shiver.
She should say yes. She should stop. But it feels good and she’s had so few things that actually feel good that she’s been able to trust. She looks up at him for a moment, considering, before shaking her head and pulling him in to kiss him again. He responds eagerly, kissing her deeply for a moment, before he pulls back to tease her.
“I think I need to hear you say it.”
She rolls her eyes a bit, before she continues to push him back into the bedroom. “You know, you being a smug dick about this? Is really not all that attractive.”
“That’s a lie. I’m always attractive.” He flops back on her bed with a grin. “I just like it when you admit you want me.”
“My continuing to sleep with you isn’t enough for that?”
“Nope.” His hands grip her hips, pulling her in closer, before flipping her down onto the bed. “I want you to tell me you want me.” His lips then move to her neck, pressing light kisses there as his hands slides up under her shirt.
“So needy,” she teases with a laugh, arcing up into his touch a bit, before she moves to tug at his clothes. “I feel like you’re working too hard at this.”
“With you, sometimes it doesn’t seem like it’s hard enough.”
She pauses for a moment, looking up at him as he leans over her, and her face softens for a moment. She knows that she tends to be difficult, and she does it on purpose, not wanting to let people get close enough that they can hurt her or take advantage of her. But Ben was there before those defenses were built. He is already under them, even if he doesn’t realize it.
“I don’t mean to,” she says softly, one hand moving to rest against his arm. “It’s just … habit, sometimes.”
“I know,” he says before dipping his head and leaning in to kiss her softly. “It’d just be nice to hear you use actual words sometimes.”
She swallows hard, before nodding and leaning up into the kiss. “I will keep that in mind.”
“Good. Now can we lose the feelings and get back to the fun stuff?”
She laughs in response before nodding as she pulls him in again. “Let’s do it.”
