Chapter Forty-Two
Ben
H allie’s porch is dark when we walk up the steps to her front door hand in hand. I’m holding onto my control by a thread. Being with Hallie up on Mt. Washington was more intense than I anticipated. When I looked out onto the city I love while wrapped around the girl I love, I saw more than just the right move for my business. I saw my future with Hallie.
I have always known I wanted a future with her. I have hoped for it for more than a decade of my life. But up on the Incline observation deck with her, I saw it more clearly than I ever have before.
Us living together, going to sleep and waking up together every morning. Hallie sitting at the counter every day with her first cup of coffee, talking to me about whatever case she is working on while I make breakfast. Kissing her goodbye when she leaves for work and her waiting for me in bed when I get home late after closing the bar. Whispering secrets across our pillows and walking around our city through all four seasons. A wedding and a family and a life we build together.
I have never let myself think that far into the future when it comes to me and Hallie. Until tonight. And now that I opened that door in my brain, I can’t close it again, and I need her more than I need to take my next breath.
We stop at the door, and Hallie fumbles around in her bag for her keys. She finds them, but before she can fit the key into the lock, I spin her around, press her back against the door, and seal my mouth over hers. The keys drop with a clatter. With my hands on her waist, I press against her so she can feel all of me. So she knows how she affects me. How much I want her. Hallie’s arms wrap around my neck and tangle in my hair, tugging just enough to have me groaning into her mouth. Our tongues dance, and I press even more firmly against her, sliding one of my legs in between hers. I lift my leg up just enough to press firmly against her center. She moans and rocks against me, and it almost has me coming in my pants like I’m fifteen again.
My dick is straining against the zipper of my shorts, and I fight to hold on to my control while Hallie grinds onto my leg. Our mouths move together in a kiss that is wet and filthy and so damn hot. I can feel her heat through my shorts, and the noises she’s making tell me she’s close already. I need to see all of her with a desperation that borders on manic. I tear my mouth away from hers and tighten my grip on her hips. “I fucking love watching you take your pleasure, Hallie girl. But when you come for me tonight, you’re going to be spread naked over your bed so I can see every inch of you.”
Hallie lets out a whimper that has my cock hardening even more. I lean down and kiss her again, all teeth and tongues until we are both panting for breath. Then I pick up the keys and unlock the door as quickly as possible, kicking it shut behind me. In two strides, I’m in front of Hallie, reaching down for the hem of her dress. I lift it over her head and toss it to the ground behind her. Then I stop dead in my tracks. My breath wheezes out of my lungs as I take her in. She is wearing tiny red lace underwear and a matching bra with lace cups that barely contain her hard nipples. Her eyes are bright, and her face is flushed and glowing. Her lips are wet and red and puffy from kissing me. She is a fucking wet dream. It’s a miracle that I don’t just pass out right on the spot.
Hallie seems to notice that I’m suddenly unable to form words and she just grins. “You like?”
She does a little spin and I see that the underwear is actually a g-string. Her gorgeous ass on display for me snaps me out of it, and I grab that ass with both hands, lifting her up.
“Do I like it? Fuck, Hallie,” I practically growl. I drop my head and bite her nipple through the lace of her bra, then rake my tongue over the tight bud. She groans, throwing her head back and wrapping her legs around my waist. I do the same to the other one, biting and licking until she is squirming against me.
I turn us towards the stairs but I must not move fast enough for her because she leans forward and bites down on my earlobe. Fuck . She soothes the spot with her tongue and whispers, “Take me to bed. Now.”
I suck in a breath, my cock aching and hard as steel. I carry her across her living room and up the stairs. When I reach her bedroom, I drop her down on the bed and immediately cover her body with mine, bringing our mouths back together. Hallie’s legs are still wrapped around me, and I grind into her once before I trail my mouth down her neck, to her lace clad breasts. With my weight on one arm, I tug down the lace cups, freeing her breasts. I pull one hard nipple into my mouth, licking and sucking while I roll the other one between my fingers. Hallie holds me against her, letting out little cries that have me sucking harder and then switching sides so I can worship her other breast with my mouth.
When Hallie is writhing under me, I move lower, kissing my way down her stomach, tasting every inch of her skin. Hallie opens for me the lower I go. The g-string barely covers the thin strip of hair over her pussy, and I groan. It’s so hot. There is a wet spot on her underwear, and I drop my head to run my tongue along it, tasting her over the thin fabric. Hallie’s hips jerk up, and she lets out a soft cry. I just barely resist the urge to shove the fabric to the side and fuck her with my tongue. There will be time for that later, but tonight I’m worshiping every inch of my girl.
I sit back on my heels, stripping off my t-shirt and dropping it onto the floor by the bed. Hallie’s gaze is dark and filled with lust as she trails her eyes over my chest and then lower. “See something you like, Hallie girl?”
She lifts her eyes to mine. “You are so fucking sexy, Ben. I could look at you forever.”
Fuck. Me. “We have all night, Hal. Look all you want.” I settle between her legs and press a kiss to the inside of her thigh, sliding my lips up and running my tongue along the crease where her leg meets her hip. I lick across her stomach to the opposite hip and back down again, pressing a kiss to the opposite thigh. Hallie writhes under me, tilting her hips up, looking for friction, and I can’t resist teasing her a little. I keep running my tongue right along the seam of her underwear, moving closer and closer with each stroke of my tongue, but never quite reaching the place I know she wants me.
Finally, she gasps out, “Ben, please.”
“Please what, baby?”
“Please, touch me. Lick me. Something. Anything. You’re making me crazy.”
“Crazy for me is exactly how I want you, Hallie girl.”
I slide my fingers under her underwear and swipe them over her wet slit.
“I can’t wait to taste you.”
“Do it. Please. Fuck.”
I slide her underwear down and push her legs apart. Leaning down right where she is dripping wet, I blow lightly on her clit and her hips jerk up again. I slide my fingers up through her wet heat and trace my forefinger around her clit in light circles. Her hips buck up underneath me and finally, I give her what she wants. Leaning down, I lick her slit from bottom to top and let out a groan as the taste of her explodes on my tongue. I circle her clit with my tongue over and over again. And when her hips start to grind down searching for more friction, I slip two fingers inside her, and she cries out. A dark thrill runs through me at being the person to give this to her. That she is taking her pleasure from me. Hallie’s legs tighten around my head as I devour her. Her pussy clamps down on my fingers as I fuck them in and out of her and suck her clit into my mouth.
“Ben,” she moans. “It feels so good. Please don’t stop.”
I lift my head, and my eyes meet hers. Her face is flushed and her chest is heaving. “Never. I could eat you forever. You taste so fucking good. You need to come for me, Hallie girl?”
“I’m so close, please.”
I curl my fingers up into her g-spot and suck her clit hard, and she detonates.
“Oh my fuck, Ben. Fuck yes.” Hallie’s hips jerk up and her legs shake as she comes apart around me, panting and moaning and crying out, her clit throbbing against my tongue. I keep sucking her clit lightly, riding out her orgasm with her, licking up her release. When she melts back into the bed, I kiss my way up her body, stopping to reach around and unhook her bra and toss it away. I kiss and lick her nipples and slide my tongue along her collar bones and her jaw, finally making my way up to take her mouth with mine. The kiss is soft and achingly slow. My cock is rock hard and begging to be inside her, but then Hallie’s arms circle my neck and pull me closer to her as her tongue strokes mine. The kiss changes the energy in the room from frenzied to passion and desire and something deeper. She pushes her tongue into my mouth and tangles it with mine, and I want to keep kissing her for the rest of my life.
“I want you, Ben,” Hallie whispers as she looks up at me. Her hair is spread over the bed in a halo around her head, and her eyes are dark and full of an emotion I can’t quite name but has my chest tightening. I want to bury myself so deep inside her that I can’t tell where I end and she begins.
I stroke my thumb down her cheek, pushing her hair off her face, and press a kiss to her forehead. “Then have me.”
