Love’n’Lust

He knew how much she wanted to introduce him to her fiance. He didn’t even know how to say no to her again after not being able to go to many of the things she had planned in the past just so he(Ben) could meet the man she wanted to marry.

Jenna was the only close person he had in the Larkson family. Growing up, she was his best friend, and she still was but they just weren’t as close as they used to be when they were younger. This was mainly due to how busy he had become after taking over the family business from his father but he still knew where he stood with her.

She was older but he still felt the need to protect her, not just physically but emotionally and he had done that so well over the years that she wanted him to meet her boyfriend-turned-fiance who recently proposed to her.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ben has never met him but he knew that his cousin’s sister’s fiance was the son of one of the wealthy families in city S. Jenna wanted her cousin’s brother to meet her man and talk to him, she wanted to know what Ben thought of the man she said yes to and to be sure she made the right choice by agreeing to marry him.

“I will be there.” Jenna finally heard what she has been wanting to hear him say since two days ago when she invited him to brunch with her fiance.

“Promise?” She asked just to be sure, she knew Ben never breaks his promises and so needed him to make her a promise.

“I promise, expect me there.” He said and ended the call impatiently, wanting to give his full attention to Belle again.

….

“What am I going to wear?” Belle asked Ben sitting in one of the hotel’s bathrobes. He just came out of the bathroom after his shower, his towel-dried hair still a little wet. There was a towel around his waist as he stepped into the dressing room.

It was clear to Belle that he didn’t have to worry about what to wear as there seemed to be pre-arranged clothes; suits mainly, in the dressing room. She didn’t have to be told that the room was probably customized for him.

After they had sex, he let her know that he wasn’t going to be able to spend the whole day with her like he wanted. He had asked his assistant to put all of his meetings and office-related issues on hold for the day because he wanted to have his time with Belle but he had forgotten about his cousin’s sister’s brunch party. Now, he had to utilize his free day off work and visit her(Jenna), so he could finally meet her fiance whom she wouldn’t stop telling his mother about. He asked Belle if she was willing to go with him and after confirming to her that it wasn’t a large party but just one with Jenna’s friends, she agreed.

“I have asked someone to get you something sexy.” He told Belle when he came back out of the dressing room with the towel still around his waist but lower.

Belle’s eyes quickly went from his well-built chest to the v-line where the towel was hanging from his waist, she knew what was underneath that towel; it just made her moan her throat out a moment ago before they both showered but here she was, wanting it again.

“Okay.” She just said after she swallowed, trying to take her eyes off him. Her thoughts suddenly went back to yesterday, he had torn Brie’s dress right off her, what was she going to tell Brie? She started to worry about the matter?” He wanted to know, he didn’t like the way she looked now; worried.

“Nothing,” She shook her head, “it’s just….. the dress…. yesterday… the dress you tire yesterday, it belongs to my friend and I don’t even know what to tell her.” Belle finally said after bumbling with her words.

Ben almost hissed when she said what she said because he thought there was an actual problem bothering her mind. He remembered when she told him yesterday about the dress belonging to a friend of hers.

“You looked like there was really a problem, Belle.” He came to her and lifted her face by her jaw and with a light chuckle, he said;

“You can go shopping with that friend of yours later and get her as many dresses as she wants.”

Her dress arrived and when she went to get it from the door, she saw that it was his driver from last night, the one with the scar.

“Thanks.” She told him before closing the door.

She took it out and admired it for a while in Ben’s absence, he was back in the dressing room. She immediately put it on and was about to zip it up from the back but her hands couldn’t get to the zipper at the back of the dress.

She ignored that and decided to take a look at herself in the vanity mirror. The vanity mirror couldn’t reflect all of her image but it showed her how the dress fitted her slim curves. Doing that, she was almost lost at it when she heard Ben’s voice.

“You look stunning.” He told her and she turned to his voice, giving him the front view of the beautiful dress.

It was a knee-length black dress with a one-handed strap on the right. Ben smiled knowing his driver took his words very seriously when he said to get something not too revealing but still sexy. He didn’t want anyone; male or female, looking at Belle when they got to Jenna’s party. Her body was his alone to adore.
