Chapter Fifteen

A part of Ben was shocked when Allie didn’t run screaming from him the moment he suggested leaving. They’d spoken for maybe twenty minutes after fourteen years apart, and he’d offered her sex.

From the moment he’d sat down and they’d begun talking, every feeling he’d ever had for her had come rushing back. He’d remembered how her lips had felt on his skin as he’d watched her talk. He could almost feel her soft hand running over his body as she’d held his hand. The emotions he’d felt had been strong, and his physical desire for her had been almost palpable.

He wasn’t a monk. He’d been with his share of women since he and Allie had broken up, but no one had ever affected him the way she had.

While he’d been overseas he’d been celibate. Even after breaking up with Allie he’d kept to himself. Fraternization was strictly forbidden but it happened, a lot. There weren’t many women on the base but a few of them had shown him interest, only they weren’t Allie. After his tour had been over it had been almost six months before he’d felt the desire to be with someone again, and that had started a decade of short term and really short term relationships with a liberal sprinkling of one night stands mixed in. He’d spent his entire twenties going from casual fling to meaningless relationship, but by the time he’d turned thirty it had gotten old.

In the past three years he’d essentially stayed away from sex and relationships. He’d had a few casual things with exes or friends just to take the edge off when it had been too long, but there had been no promise of anything more than sex.

Allie was the only woman he’d ever loved. He wasn’t sure if it was because he’d closed himself off to ever feeling love again after they’d broken up, or because he’d never found another woman like her.

He wasn’t sure what he felt for her now, but he wanted her. Every fiber of his being was screaming for her, and it was taking all of his self-control not to pull her into his arms and kiss her breathless.

“Do you want to come to my place?” she asked as she came around the table and stood in front of him.

Fuck she was hot. She’d definitely mastered using her eyes to seduce someone. The way she was looking at him, biting her lip as she waited for his response, was incredibly hot. He wondered what else she did now that she hadn’t done back then.

“I have to get to mine, is that okay?”

“Sure. Did you drive?”

“I did. You?”

“Yes.”

“Meet me there?”

“Address?”

“2120 Lamira Way. It’s off Elkin and Bronson.”

“I know the area. Meet you there?”

“God yes.” He had to bite back his groan as Allie raked her eyes up his body, letting him see the passion and desire she was feeling for him. “Are you okay around dogs?”

“What?” She looked confused at the sudden change in conversation, and he didn’t blame her.
