Mafia Desire (Erotica)

He saw the tears and his face dropped. “No, please don’t.” He growled at himself for making her upset. “It’s nothing you did or said. It’s all on me. I’m going to have to catch up. I’m missing a few more months out my life and everyone has moved forward but me.” he tried to explain.

She wiped her eyes. “You must think I’m a ditz. Constantly crying and carrying on.” she sniffed.

“No! I think you’re wonderful and kind and generous! Please don’t mind me. I’ll be fine. I’m sorry to cause you all this headache.” he reached over and took her hand. She seemed to calm down once he’d done that.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“You’re no headache, Ben. Let’s get you inside.” she said with a small smile.

They went to the front door and stepped into the foyer. Ben closed the door with a thump and heard a strange noise from down the hall like a high pitched squeak. He looked over at Gabriella but she didn’t seem to have heard it so he dismissed it as his imagination. As they hung up their coats they both heard a noise from down the hall. They looked around the corner and Catherine burst out of the master bedroom door with a pile of bed sheets balled up in her arms. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were badly wrinkled.

“You’re home early!” she gasped with a smile. “I wanted to make sure you had fresh sheets on your bed for your first day home!” She seemed out of breath. “It’s always nice to come home to fresh sheets.”

“Yes, that’s very nice of you. Thanks!” Ben said slowly. He wondered why she was wearing her shirt inside out and backwards. He absentmindedly tapped his own throat where her shirt’s tag was showing. Gabriella caught the motion and suddenly realized what he was looking at. Her face froze and Catherine saw Ben’s motion and Gabriella’s expression. She reached up and felt the tag.

“Oh HA! I was in such a rush this morning I didn’t even look. Your machines are in this closet, right?” she blurted as she strode quickly to the laundry room.

“Yes.” He stepped past as she threw the sheets in the washing machine. Gabriella followed him as he entered the master bedroom. He got three steps in and froze. There was a scent in the room. A familiar scent. Female excitement. He stepped further into the room walking towards the far side of the bed.

Gabriella was in the doorway and she smelled it as well. She stepped inside and Catherine rushed into the room to get something she’d just discovered she’d left behind. She saw Ben picking something off the floor from the far side of the bed. Something pink. Something wet and giving off that distinct scent. Gabriella looked at her in shock. “What did you do?” she whispered.

“Did these fall off while you were removing my sheets?” Ben growled. They saw him stop and close his eyes. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. Please forgive my tone. These are yours I take it?”

Catherine nodded and stepped forward to take the panties from his fingers. He looked at the mattress and realized his pillow top mattress was upside down. His only had pillow on one side and wasn’t meant to be flipped. He looked at Catherine and reached down to the edge of the mattress and lifted it up. He felt twinges of pain in his side and they must have shown on his face because both women tried to stop him but he stared them down until they stepped back.

He pulled the mattress up and towards him then let it fall. Near its middle was a sizable wet spot. Catherine’s expression was grim. She peered up at him from under her bangs to see how mad he was.

“You had sex in my bed?” Ben asked quietly. He was trembling for some reason and his mind was racing, doing nonsensical math formulas with calendar dates. He had to shut it down before he went mad. He held up his hand before Catherine could speak. “No, again, I’m sorry. Don’t answer that. Could I please have my home to myself for a while? I’d like to be alone if you don’t mind. Thank you Gabriella for bringing me home. You can both leave the keys on the front table.”

She nodded and gripped Cat’s arm, tugging her out of the bedroom with her.

Ben listened until he heard the front door close. Then he left the room and went to the kitchen to get some cleaning products. Maybe he could salvage the mattress.

Gabriella was livid. She was doing her best to stay calm like Ben had but it took everything she had to keep from leaping across the seat to strangle her friend. She drove them both to her place. Cat had the good sense to remain quiet until they were inside.

Once they were in Gabriella’s office they sat down on a couch and faced each other. She took several deep breaths with her eyes closed then looked at Catherine. The woman looked lost. She was looking down at her clenched hands in her lap and the tears just started to flow. Gabriella’s fury vanished and her heart went out to her friend. She reached out and took her hands.

“What happened?” she asked gently.

Cat looked up, her lips trembling. Gabriella handed her a tissue.

“I- I couldn’t sleep last night. I was so keyed up knowing Ben was coming home today. I know that’s silly but… Anyway, this morning I was up and I decided I would do something nice for him by changing the sheets on his bed. Like I said, it’s nice to come home to clean sheets.” She looked down and her tears ran freely down her cheeks. Gabriella leaned her head against Catherine’s and rubbed her shoulders. When her friend seemed to get control again she leaned back.

“I went over to his house first thing this morning. The sun was just coming up. I used the key you gave me and went into his bedroom to change the sheets. When I pulled back the quilt I smelled him. The warm comforting scent from his sweater but so much stronger. I couldn’t help myself. I stretched out on the bed and just breathed it in. God! It felt so good to be there with him surrounding me. You weren’t bringing him home until the afternoon so I knew I had time. I needed to feel closer to him so I… I took off my clothes until I was only in my panties and crawled under the covers. Feeling the sheets caressing my skin while smelling him was so good. I felt like I was cuddled up in his strong arms resting on his powerful chest. So safe and so wonderful. I must have dozed off. I had this amazing dream where he opened his bedroom door and I was still in his bed. He slowly took off his clothes and slipped under the sheets with me. He kissed me like he did in the hospital, God that was hot! Then he took me. He was so big! I felt like I was coming apart but it was so good!”

Catherine trembled at the memory. She looked up at Gabriella, embarrassed by the intimacy. She saw only understanding in her friend’s eyes.

“I- I must have been touching myself in my sleep. It felt so real! I had one of the most powerful orgasms I’ve ever experienced in my life. When I woke up I was drenched and the bed was soaking wet from me. I was cleaning myself up a little in his bathroom when I heard the car doors close. I panicked. I pulled the sheets off but the mattress was drenched as well because he didn’t have a cover. I flipped the mattress over and pulled my clothes on fast as I heard the two of you coming in.”

Cat looked up at Gabrielle as her bottom lip started to tremble again. “I’ve ruined everything! Ben’s home but he can’t sleep in his bed and now he hates me!” She burst into tears and Gabriella took her into her arms and rubbed the blonde’s back.

“Ben doesn’t hate you. He was a little off on the ride home. I said something that I think upset him… He tried to explain, saying something about everyone moving forward but him. The coma… Oh my god! I understand now!”

Catherine pulled back and looked hopefully at her friend.

“For us it’s been almost four months since the accident. For Ben it’s been just a month and a half and it might feel like less because of being stuck in that hospital room. We’ve had time to make progress in accepting our loss but to him it may seem like a sudden attitude change.”
