Chapter Nine - Done and Done
--
Rey keeps her eyes on Ben as he looks around the room and bites her lip. He’s wandering around, taking it all in. The pictures of him, the art she bought online, the small things she took from his house… it’s all a shrine to him. To them really…
Ben looks to her and smiles.
“So… are we going to your mom’s?” he asks.
“No.” she quickly says. “I called… said you were sick…”
“Oh, okay.”
“Sorry… I just didn’t want her to get suspicious when we didn’t show… I… I didn’t know how you’d take this.” she tells him. “I… I still don’t really. This is all… going too well…” Ben comes closer and kneels down. He puts his hands on her thighs and squeezes.
“What can I do to prove it’s okay?” he asks. “To prove I’m… okay with this?”
“I…” she begins. “I… I don’t know… I mean I trust you but…”
“What do you need me to do Rey?” he asks. She looks into his eyes and sighs.
“...stay.” she whispers. “I… I just want you to stay.” he smiles softly and rubs her legs.
“Then I’ll stay.” he says. “As long as you want…”
“...okay. Um… can… can you stay here a moment?” she asks as she stands. “I… I need to do something.”
“Sure.” Rey leaves the room and closes the door behind her, she locks it as well and steps away. She watches the door a moment and sighs. Maybe… she wants to keep him in there. So she knows he’s here… and not…
Rey shakes her head and closes her eyes. He won’t, he… he loves her. But… maybe he would agree to stay in there… for her. He said anything. Rey takes one last look at the door before heading down the stairs. She grabs a snack for the both of them and soda. Rey makes sure both doors are locked. She’s not expecting someone but it’s just to be sure. She doesn’t need anyone here right now… she just needs to be alone with Ben. Rey makes her way back up the stairs and sets the stuff down near the door that holds Ben. She goes into her bedroom and goes down to her knees next to the bed. She reaches underneath it and grabs the box hidden there. She opens it and grabs the pair of handcuffs she bought sometime ago for an old boyfriend. She… needed to keep him and he wouldn’t stay on his own… she knows Ben will but still, they’ll come in handy. Rey heads back to the door, unlocks it and takes everything into the room. She sees Ben as she enters and he smiles.
“Here.” she hands him the soda and the bag of chips. He takes them from her and looks to her other hand.
“What are those for?” he asks. Rey looks down at the handcuffs and sighs.
“Um… well…” she trails off. “I just thought…”
“Would you feel better if I wore those?” he asks.
“...yes.” she answers. “And… if you would stay in here. I mean… so…”
“Whatever you need me to do… I’ll do Rey.”
“I just… want to make sure…”
“I understand. How long?”
“...not long at all.”
“Okay.” he smiles. “Do I have to put them on now?” he asks. Rey shakes her head and smiles.
“No, not now. Just when I leave.”
“Where are you going?” he asks.
“I just have to run an errand or two.” she says. “I won’t be gone long when I do.” he nods his head and Rey takes a drink of soda. She just needs to make sure he’ll stay… if he’ll stay… it’ll all be okay.

Rey stays in her car in the driveway and looks up at the window to the room Ben is in. He let her put on the handcuffs, he let her lock the door… and he promised he’d be quiet while she was gone. Rey didn’t have any errands to do, not really;she just wanted to see if he would stay put. She’s been sitting here for almost twenty minutes now and… nothing has happened. The house has been still. Rey blows air from her mouth and sighs. He’ll stay… he’ll be good…
She gets out of the car and heads back into the house. She locks the door behind her and makes her way up the stairs. She opens the door to where Ben is kept and smiles when she sees him exactly where she left him.
“Errands done?” he asks.
“...yeah.” he holds up his hands and she sighs as the handcuffs jiggle just slightly. “Maybe… we can keep those on a few more minutes?” she asks.
“Okay… why?”
“...come into the bedroom Ben.” she pushes the door open wider and steps to the side. Ben gets off the floor and heads into the hallway before going into the bedroom. Rey shuts the door and goes in behind him. She puts her hands to his back along with her forehead and breathes in. “I need you…” she whispers.
“I can’t do much with these on…”
“I don’t need you to do anything… I’ll do it all…” and she moves her hands around his torso. She runs them down to the button on his jeans and undoes it before taking down his zipper. She jerks the fabric down his legs and he steps out of them. Ben turns around and Rey pushes him onto the bed. He just sits there and Rey strips off her clothes. Ben’s eyes widen as she stands nude before him and she smiles. He always has the same look on his face when they’re together, like… she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. She knows she feels that way about him. He’s… everything she ever wanted and every time she sees him she can’t help but smile. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Rey takes the couple steps to him and pushes him the rest of the way down onto the sheets. She straddles him and runs her hands under his t-shirt; feeling his sculpted body. She takes his already hard cock in hand and pumps it a few times before lining herself up. She slowly lowers herself on him and sighs as he groans at the feeling of her clenching around him. “Fuck…” he mutters. His hands reach up to grab onto her but he sighs. “Damn things…”
“Shh.” Rey moves herself up and down his length and takes his hands in hers. She throws them over her head and her tangles his fingers in her hair. He brings her down to him and kisses her lips. “See…” she whispers against his lips. “Not so bad.” she kisses him again and clenches herself around him. Rey quickens her pace slightly and puts her hands to his shoulders. He flinches as her fingernails dig into his skin and his hips move in unison with her own. Rey moans as he fills her and smiles.
It’ll all be okay… everything is going to be okay…
As long as Ben is here and loves her… it’ll all be okay.

Rey gently unlocks the handcuffs around Ben’s wrists and tosses them to the side. She watches as he rubs his wrists and sighs.
“Are you okay?” she asks.
“Yeah, I’m fine. It just feels a little strange.”
“I’m sorry…”
“No, it’s okay. It’s what you needed. I’m perfectly fine.” he says. “And… well… I didn’t mind the sex either.”’
“You like being tied up?” she asks.
“Maybe… with you…” she kisses his lips and runs her tongue along his. “I wouldn’t object to trying it again.”
“Well maybe I can arrange something.” he smiles and Rey lays her head on his chest. His arm goes around her waist and she closes her eyes.
All she needs is Ben… right here… forever…

Rey runs the brush through Ben’s hair and smiles as his face falls into a calm state. He likes when she does this, it may not be necessary but, she enjoys it too she supposes. She gets an extra few moments with him in the mornings. His head falls back slightly and she leans down to kiss the tip of his nose. He smiles as she does and opens his eyes.
“Thank you.”
“Uh huh.” she runs the brush through his dark locks once more and sets it to the side. “Breakfast?” she asks.
“Sure, what do you want?”
“Waffles sound good.”
“I’ll make you some.” Ben gets off the bed and Rey watches as he throws on a shirt and heads to the bedroom door. He winks as he leaves and Rey sighs. It’s been four days since he found out about what she had done… what she’s like, and everything is better than ever. They understand each other better than anyone else could and she’s thankful she found him. They’re both fucked up but… they fit together perfectly. Every man before Ben… never felt right even when she… did the same things to them as she did to Ben. They didn’t conform… they didn’t understand... they didn’t love her… but Ben does. He loves her even after she told him all of what she did to get him where she wanted him. He did things too… not as much as she did but… enough. He did enough.
Rey heads down after him and finds him pouring waffle mix into a bowl. She goes up, kisses his cheek and nuzzles his stubble before grabbing the oil and eggs. She sets them on the table and smiles up at Ben. He smiles back and they get to making breakfast.
This is a beginning… the beginning to the rest of their lives together.

One Year Later

Rey walks hand in hand with Ben and looks around at the shops they pass. They’re just shopping around, not really looking for anything but if they do find outfits for Ben’s next gala, that would be nice. She hears Ben’s cell chime off and she watches as he texts whoever it was back. He smiles slightly as he types away at his phone and she squeezes his hand tighter. It’s the woman trying to buy one of his not for sale pieces. She’s been calling, texting, emailing all the time so she can get it. But, Ben doesn’t want to sell it. It’s the first piece he painted of her… and it’s special, he says. She’s so adamant though, it’s scary. She’s flirting… and Rey doesn’t like that at all…
She holds onto Ben tight as she can and he puts his phone back into his pocket.
“She’s… adamant…” she mutters.
“She is. But, I won’t sell it. No matter how much she hounds me.”
“Good… I like that painting.”
“I’m glad… it is you after all.”
“Well, sort of me.” she says as she pushes against him. “It’s beautiful though…” Ben brings her hand up to his mouth and kisses it before his phone goes off again. He goes to reach for it but Rey catches his hand in her spare one. “No. No more.” Ben smiles and looks to her. “I want all of your attention…” she mutters. “She… she doesn’t deserve it…”
“No… maybe not. But… it’ll be rude to not answer back.”
“I say you block the number and leave it as that.”
“Rey…”
“You know how I get when girls keep… talking to you.”
“You don’t mind Phas…”
“No, I like her… I trust her. Not… anyone else.”
“I know, I know.”
‘ “I don’t like it.” Rye squeezes his hand and he looks down at her. “I don’t.”
“I know sweetheart… I know…” he kisses her hand again and sighs. “You know you’re the only one for me.” Rey just keeps walking and she hears Ben sigh. “Rey… you know I only see you.”
“And you know I won’t hesitate the next time someone hits on you…”
“I do… but it won’t come to that. Besides… I find it sexy that you’re so obsessive.”
“Oh do you? And why is that?” she asks.
“Because it just shows how much you care… how much you love me…”
“I do… I do love you. But-”
“There’s no but.” he says. “You have nothing to worry about… I’m yours Rey.” she looks up at him and sighs.
“And I’m yours…” he smiles down at her and she hears his phone go off again. She glares at his pocket but smiles up at him. She knows she won’t think twice… Ben is hers… and hers alone… and that’s how it’ll always be. They’re meant to be together… she knows this. He knows this. “I love you.” she leans up and presses their lips together. “I love you so much Ben.”
“I love you too.” he squeezes her hand and they continue walking. “Now… which store next?” he asks. Rey takes a deep breath and tries to ignore the sound of Ben’s phone chiming. It doesn’t matter. She doesn’t matter. No one else matters… just them… only them…
She repeats this to herself as they walk around and talks with Ben. As long as they’re together… she has nothing to worry about. Ever.
