Love’n’Lust

“Here,” Ben joined Belle in bed, handing her a packaged box.

“What is this?” She asked while looking at the box, trying to figure it out by herself.

“A new phone, I asked Randy to get it the moment I remembered. Open it and let me know if you like it or not.”

She nodded and started to open the box, and that was when she saw that it was a well-known phone brand.

“Ben, this is…” She was lost for words.

“Do you like it?”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, this is the latest product out by this company, it’s expensive…” She gave reasons with her reply, showing how much she appreciated it.

“I’m glad you like it.” He was. The room went silent for some minutes as he watched her read the pieces of information written on the packet of the phone. She paused and looked up from what she was doing; she just remembered something she wanted to ask him.

“Ben, that day… the day before I was taken, I called you repeatedly and you didn’t take your calls, why didn’t you?”

“You called?”

“Yes, I thought you were mad at me; I thought maybe you didn’t like what I said during our conversation that morning you dropped me off at my workplace and that was why you weren’t taking my calls…”

“I didn’t get any call from you.”

“But I called you…” Belle argued then paused to try and remember because for all she knew she could not be remembering right. After some seconds of quick thinking, she affirmed she was right.”I did, I called you Ben, not once and not twice, I called before I went to bed, I did.”

“I would always take your call and if I can’t, I would have my assistant take it to let you know that I can’t talk. Do you think I’m lying when I say that I didn’t get a call from you?”

“No. I’m not saying that…” She shook her head.”You know what, let’s forget that. It’s in the past.” She didn’t want to drag it out.

Later, that night.

Belle was asleep but Ben wasn’t. He sat on the bed beside where she lay. He was going through his phone to see if he got a call from her that day.

He didn’t remember getting any call from her but she sounded so convincing when she repeated that she had called on that day.

After going through his call log, he didn’t see a missed call from her but he saw some deleted calls.

He immediately texted Randy, he needed him to check on his phone’s security to know if it had been breached.

Morning.

Belle turned in bed, clutching onto a pillow when she did so but opened her eyes slightly when she saw Ben standing in front of the mirror, arranging his tie.

She sat up and watched him for a while and she noticed that he was struggling with the tie. She smiled before getting out of bed and going to him.

Standing on the tip of her toes, she lifted his shirt’s bent collar before going in front of him. A smile reflected on his lips the moment he saw her face.

“Don’t you know how to knot a tie?” She asked, muffling her laughter and knowing the answer to the question she just asked. She placed her hand over his and helped in knotting the black tie around his neck.

“Are you laughing at me?” He didn’t join her in laughing like she expected but was enjoying the beauty she possessed.

“No,” she shook her head and tried to keep a serious face but burst into renewed laughter after some seconds.”I’m sorry, it’s funny. I can’t believe you tried knotting a tie with the collar bent.” She explained why she couldn’t stop laughing as she arranged his collar now.

“All done, see for yourself,” she said when she was finished and tried to move away from his view so he could take a look at his reflection in the mirror but he grabbed her waist and brought her back.

“Who says you are done?” He placed her back against the mirror and trapped her with his hands.

Her laughter stopped when he did that, a different hormone taking over her body. She bit her lips.

“Were you going to leave without letting me know?” She asked him.

“No,” he brought his face closer to hers.”I planned to wake you up with a kiss but since you are already awake, we can do more than that.”

He kissed her. It was a kiss filled with desire. He didn’t know how much he missed her lips till now. Lifting her, she circled her legs around his waist as he kissed her more deeply. She thought he was about to take her to bed but he didn’t. He still had her back pressed against the mirror as he traced his hands up her smooth thighs, all the way to her ass.

A ringtone broke the moment. It was Ben’s phone in his pocket. He let it ring through the first time without picking it but it rang again.

“It might be important.” Belle had to stop him when she had the chance to. If she let him continue, he might get too deep with her to stop and she noticed he was all set to leave before she woke up; he probably had somewhere important to be.

“It can wait,” Ben let the phone ring through without picking up again.

“Ohhhh,” Belle moaned when his lips found her neck. She was getting too excited by him to even convince him to take his call.

The phone started with a buzz before it started to ring again.

“Take it, three times sounds important,” She said amidst her shaky, pleasure-filled voice. Ben didn’t want to till she called his name.

“Ben, take it.” He stopped just when he was about to take his lips on an adventure trip all over her body. Bringing his lips back to her face, she caressed his jaw with her small hands as she saw that he hated to stop.
