BEN

I don’t know what’s happening to me right now, but all I can think about is tasting his plump lips. I look into those blue, almost purple-colored eyes, and I get lost. It seems like hours, but I know it hasn’t been longer than a minute.

Hearing he wanted to hook up with random strangers did something to me. Something nearly feral came out, and the thought of anyone else putting their hands on him made me come undone.

I don’t want anyone else touching him. I don’t want anyone else kissing him.

The realization that I want to be doing those things with him hits me hard, but I don’t know what to do about it. It’s been so damn long since I’ve kissed another person. Way longer since I’ve dated someone.

I have no idea what I’m doing, but one thing’s for sure, I’m going to do it. Because I can’t waste another minute wondering. My hand cups his jaw—that’s fairly smooth, but I can feel stubble there. It’s not unpleasant in the least as I scrape my thumb over it, and his eyes widen. “Ben . . .”

There’s an unspoken question there. A “What the hell are you doing?” But he doesn’t seem angry. It’s more like he’s confused. I move my thumb up to brush over his bottom lip, feeling how full and luscious it is, and my heart beats wildly in my chest.

I want this.

I have no idea why or where it’s coming from, but I want to know what it would be like to kiss him. So, I lean in, noticing his eyes widen even more just before I brush my lips softly over his for a moment, testing it out.

Waiting for an alarming feeling that doesn’t come because when I feel the zing soaring through my body at the contact, all I want is more. I press forward, stealing his lips and kissing him with a fierce need. He’s hesitant at first, but then he’s matching my vigor, opening his mouth for me and letting me taste his tongue, allowing me to devour him as he does his best to do the same.

It’s a harsh, brutal kiss with no finesse and desperate longing, and it’s the best kiss of my life. I feel like I’m being awoken from a long, foggy nap, and my entire body is alive. His hands are in my hair, gripping tight as one of my hands moves to the side of his neck, and the other drops to his hip, pulling him closer to me.

I want nothing more than to stay like this, feasting on him, his tongue tangling with mine. But then I feel his hand move to my chest, and he gently pushes me away from him. When I pull back, our mouths pulling apart and both of us panting, I see desire in his eyes, but I also see absolute confusion. “Ben.”

I don’t know what to say. My body is fully aware of his, and I want so many things all at once, I think my mind short-circuits.
