Page 5 of A Baby for Christmas
"Robin," he murmured my name, breaking away after amoment.
"Yeah?" I gave chase, kissing the line of hisjaw.
"You only wanted that onekiss?"
"Mh, no, I think I was lying," I admitted, seeking his lips again. I could never have stopped after one kiss. If that was all I could get, I would have taken it, but I was always going to try for more. I loved kissing. I especially loved kissing Ben. He had this way of wrapping his arms around me that made me feel like I washisand nothing bad could happen to me ever so long as he was around. Even more than the sex, it was this sense of belonging that Imissed.
But I missed the sex too, not gonnalie.
Fortunately, Ben didn't seem inclined to argue with me. And when I pressed up against him, I knew why—he was just as hard as Iwas.
A small sigh escaped me. I loved feeling an alpha's arousal and knowing that it was for me. Closing my arms around his neck, I rubbed our groins together until he moaned. He'd always enjoyed frotting. It was how we'd gotten off together that very first time. But I was in heat now, and it was going to take a little more thanthat.
By the look in his eyes, heknew.
"Please, Ben," I whispered into his ear, teasing my fingers over the lines of his crotch. "Just this once. Just tonight. I need you rightnow."
His breath shuddered out of him as he broke. I might have felt bad for talking him into this if I hadn't seen the desire in his dark gaze. Also, I reallydidneed him, so you could argue that I was only beinghonest.
"Just tonight," Ben said, and then he kissed me in earnest, the way he had when we were together and everything was right with the world. There was no hesitation in his movements as his arms snaked around my back, his hand straying to my butt like it was his right. I shivered, feeling feverish. Heat surged through me, driving my body temperature even higher as Ben claimed mymouth.
"Bedroom," I muttered as soon as I had the chance. As much as I wanted to take my time with Ben, I needed that hard package I felt in his pants inside of me as soon as possible. My bodyachedfor it, for him. I couldn't remember ever needing anything so badly. The thought came to me that I hadn't recovered from our break-up as well as I'd thought, but it was lost to hormone-fueled haze the nextminute.
Ben wasted no time taking me to his bedroom. Of course not, he knew what I was like in heat, and now that he'd decided he was going to be doing this, it seemed he wanted to do it the right way too. Once we got each other undressed (it took seconds, really), we tumbled on the sheets together like no time had passed at all since we'd been acouple.
Ben still knew exactly how to touch me—and I responded in kind, scraping my nails down his back so he would make that little growly sound I loved so much. It was easy to be with him; it washot.If I'd been able to think clearly, I might have felt sad that this was only a one-time thing, but my thoughts didn't extent that far when Ben had his fingers between my cheeks, slowly spreading meopen.
"More," was all I managed to say, because one or two fingers weren't going to satisfy me when I was feeling like this. He knew it too, the bastard. He grinned at me while rubbing my inner walls so slowly I might have killed him if his smile didn't make me feel all funny inside. No, I wouldn't kill him; I still needed him afterall.
When he finally pulled on a condom and entered me, the stretch felt so good I nearly cried. We might have decided that we were better as friends, but we fit together like we were made for each other. There was no denying that. Ben just hit all the right spots in me. And when he leaned down to kiss me, I feltcomplete.
It was also a little bit frustrating. This was exactly the feeling I searched for in every relationship I had, and I could never find it. Ben gave it to me so easily, but I couldn't have him, not after tonight. Which meant I needed to make the most of it. With every fiber of my being, I tried to hang on as he moved, tried to make the experiencelast.
I couldn't draw out the inevitable forever, though. Ben's thrusts came hard and fast—and hit me just the right way. It was like he knew all my weaknesses and exploited them mercilessly. Seriously, it was impossible not to tumble over the edge when Ben was doing his damnedest to push meover.
A choked noise escaped me as I came and Ben followed soon after, shuddering above me. After a moment, he made to get up, but I pulled him back down. I didn't want to lose the heat of his body so soon, even as my hormone levels normalized following my climax. "Hold me," I whispered, hoping he wasn't going to deny me. I wasn't ready to let go of this momentyet.
Ben hesitated for only a second before sinking down in the sheets next to me. He didn't say anything as he drew me into his arms. I was glad for that. I didn't need him to remind me that we weren't getting back together orwhatever.
I only wanted to feel loved for a little bitlonger.

Ben
Robin fellasleep in my bed soon after we were done. His scent normalized too. He still smelled of omega and of sex, but not of an omega in heat.Good.
I hoped he wasn't hiding any more of those pills. I wasn't sure if he knew, but more often than not, those drugs were abused in the worst ways. You only had to work at the omega shelter for a short while to learnthat.
Sighing, I got up from the bed to take care of thecondom.
It was only then that I noticed it wasbroken.
Fuck.
That was my first thought, and it remained my only thought for the next ten minutes as I stared at the cum-stained piece of plastic thatshould have protectedus.
I had never felt so betrayed by an inanimate object in mylife.
