I opened my eyes and looked over at the clock. 9 AM. I stretched, tangled in the sheets and grabbed my phone off the bedside table. Two messages and a missed call, all from Hannah. Apparently I ignored her all night and she was pissed. I replied with some lie about going to bed early and my phone being on silent. I closed my eyes and thought about just going back to sleep. Then I heard noises coming from the kitchen and smiled. He must be making breakfast. I slowly tore myself away from the big cozy bed and slipped on one of his big t-shirts. I looked for my panties but they were nowhere to be found, so I settled for a pair of his boxers instead. I didn't mind, I love wearing his clothes.
I walked into the kitchen but stopped when I saw him. Ben had his back to me, in nothing but pajama bottoms. A stack of pancakes was forming on a plate on the counter next to him. I tried not to laugh as he bobbed his head to whatever song he was humming. I slowly made my way towards him, not making a sound. Just as I reached out to grab him, he turned his head and grinned. "Mornin' sunshine."
I sighed as I wrapped my arms around him. " I was trying to scare you."
He laughed, " Like that ever works on me."
I buried my face in his back, softly kissed his warm skin and let go, walking to the refrigerator. I opened it and found an unopened gallon of apple juice. I looked over at Ben. "There's apple juice in here."
"I'm aware."
"But I thought you said you don't like apple juice..."
"I don't. But last time you were over you wanted it, so I picked some up the other day."
I didn't respond, just found a glass and poured myself some juice. I know it sounds silly, but I couldn't help but grin inside. I took a big drink and walked back over to him, standing on my toes to kiss his cheek and whisper in his ear, "Thanks baby."
He softly pressed his lips to mine and whispered back "You're welcome."
I smiled and slid onto the counter. He was carefully flipping the pancakes, making sure they were the perfect golden brown. I could watch Ben cook all day. Well really I could watch him do anything all day. At 6'3 he is absolutely gorgeous. And he sure as hell knows it. He isn't super ripped or anything, but that's never appealed to me anyway. He's by no means fat, but the perfect amount of cuddly and I could stay wrapped up in his warm strong arms all day if he'd let me. Before me he was always clean-shaven, but now keeps a slight beard because of my love for facial hair. He has the deepest blue eyes and keeps his slightly greying brown hair in a buzz cut, practically shaved. I was never very fond of the style but he pulls it off well.
It was that greying hair that made things a little complicated with us. Most parents don't approve of their 19 year old daughter dating her best friend's 34 year old uncle. Which is why I had to lie about my whereabouts on the weekends I came home from college. It was easier when he just came to me, but he couldn't always get away. I know it should've been the other way around, but what I hated more than lying to my parents was lying to my best friend. I'd always been able to tell Hannah everything, but I knew being involved with her uncle wouldn't go over well.
I put the thought away and tore off a bite of pancake. Ben playfully slapped my hand with his spatula. I giggled and tore off a bigger piece, popping it in my mouth.
"You better stop," he warned.
"Or what?"
He looked at me. "Or I'm gonna have to punish you."
I tore off another piece and raised my eyebrows, smiling. He just shook his head and laughed, moving the stack away from me. I watched as he put the last pancake on the plate and turned off the stove. I reached out for him and he stood in front of me, my legs wrapped around his waist. He tucked a brown curl behind my ear and studied my face, his fingers sliding up and down my back.
"What?" I asked.
He smiled and kissed me. "Nothing. You're just so damn beautiful."
I rolled my eyes and pulled him closer. "Yea, yea."
Ben pulled back a little and looked straight at me. "I'm serious Tilly. I don't know why you won't believe me, but you're the most amazing thing I've ever seen."
I didn't say anything, just wrapped my arms around him and tucked my head against his chest. Unlike Ben, I've had a few too many moments of doubt when it comes to my appearances. I've never been one of those little twigs and it's always made me self-conscious. I'm pretty enough when I put forth an effort, but I don't see all this natural beauty he seems to. I'll admit, I have a great pair of breasts and nice long legs, but that was about all I could see. Ben can go on all he wanted about how "beautiful" and "sexy" I am and how much he loves my curves, but I never completely believe it. But that's not to say I don't love being naked with him.....
He lifted my face to his for a kiss, soft and long. "You ready for the best pancakes in the world?"
"Oh, we're going to IHOP?" I teased.
"You're hilarious," he said as he pinched my sides. I pulled him hard against me, wrapping my legs tighter around him. Nibbling his ear, I whispered, "I actually had something else in mind..."
"Oh?"
"Mhmmm," I kissed down his neck. "I was thinking we could get back in bed and play for a while. You can tease me all you want..."
As I bit into his neck, he let out a soft moan, the most delicious sound in the world. "...I won't complain, I promise"
He slid his hand up the back of my shirt, his fingers barely touching my skin.
"But I love to hear you whine and beg baby," he whispered in my ear.
I bit my lip.
"Then I'll beg and plead the whole time."
"Hmmmm," he softly kissed and nibbled down my neck, making goose bumps pop up all over my skin. "I think I'll just tease you by making you eat breakfast with me first." He kissed me hard, pulling on my bottom lip then pulled me down from the counter. "Come on"
I groaned, pouting. He just laughed and grabbed two plates.
We ate in his big chair, me curled up on his lap. They really were the best pancakes in the world. When we finished I brought our plates to the sink then got back in Ben's lap, cuddling up against him. He wrapped him arms tight around me, and just as I was dozing off I felt his lips against my temple, then my cheek. I opened my eyes and smiled up at him. I untangled myself from his arms so I could sit up. I kissed him, soft at first, but then harder, my hand around the back of his neck. He pulled me in closer, turning me so that I was straddling his lap then holding my face in his hands and kissing me hard and deep, his tongue dancing against mine. When he bit down on my bottom lip I let out a little moan that made him grip me even tighter. I couldn't help but grind down against him. His big hands held on to my hips, rocking me harder and faster against him while my arms were wrapped around his neck, my nails digging into his skin.
Ben stopped kissing me, pulling away a little and looking at me. "You wanna play?" he whispered. I looked down for a second, then back up him, biting my lip. As soon as I nodded I could feel him get even harder underneath me. He smiled and softly kissed me.
"Get undressed."
I slowly got up from his lap and stood in front of him. Looking at the floor I pulled the boxers down, letting them fall to the floor around my feet.
"Look at me pet."
I reluctantly lifted my eyes to him as I pushed the boxers away with my foot. I waited for a moment, just looking at him. I knew what he was trying to tell me with those beautiful blue eyes.
It's ok. It's just me. You're safe.
Once I felt a little calmer I slowly pulled off the shirt, dropping it on the floor with the boxers. I reflexively crossed my arms around myself, but Ben shook his head and I sighed, letting them drop back to my sides. He just sat there looking at me, and I could see how hard he was. I wanted so bad to go to him, but I knew I couldn't until I was told to. I shifted on my feet impatiently. He smiled at me.
"Should I take full advantage of my sweet little girl again?"
I looked down, blushing, and then back up quickly, remembering what I was told. I slightly nodded.
"Was that a yes?"
"Yes sir." I knew he could barely hear me.
"Speak up."
"Yes sir," a little louder.
