43. Benjamin

43. Benjamin
Jasper's POV

The moment we got back to the city, life catches us effortlessly, and Ben seems to be enjoying the married life. He was great with Tara, we woke up naked every day and have lazy sex in the morning before we took a shower, slipped on our wedding rings, and get dressed for the day.

"Daddy Ben, I want daddy Ben!" Tara crossed her arms to her chest, her sweet cheeky pout promised us a morning of tantrums if she didn't get her way, and this morning it looks like she wanted Ben to feed her veggies. She didn't normally hate veggies, but she despises broccoli one day telling us that she didn't like eating little trees.

"Hey, you know you're a big girl now right?" she nodded excitedly when Ben lower himself down by her baby chair to get to her height. Her birthday is in two months, she's turning two and Ben had been remanding her that fact every time her tantrum was about to erupt. Then her pout was magically gone and Ben sits next to her while Allie backed away and move to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast while I kept myself busy with our coffees.

It has been almost three months since our wedding, work has been great. I'm still working at Dad's firm, there had only been minimum interaction with my parents. It's not ideal but I was not going to let them come between me and my husband.

My husband, it was never like this when I was with Phoebe. I was calm and content with Ben, I wasn't constantly trying to prove myself to my parents that I can be a family man and make my spouse happy. With Phoebe married life was a lot of work where I try to excel and failed miserably. But everything had been easy with Benjamin, I can see myself growing old with him.

Twenty minutes later, Tara was done with her breakfast. She ignored us the second Allie promised her a fancy tea party with her dolls to give us privacy while we have our morning talk over the breakfast that she had just prepared. It has been great having Allie with us, Benji didn't have to do more housework, he was free to do what he wants and lately, he had been visiting his old friend Mrs. Diaz in her retirement home. Benji told me about her and took me to visit her last month. The fragile beautiful woman wouldn't stop smiling, telling me in her teary eyes that she's happy for Benjamin, saying that he deserves it, and wishing us a happy married life.

In our late-night talks, Ben had been telling me a lot about his old life, his parents, even his first boyfriend, Elroy, whom I've had the chance to meet a long time ago when we were out with Tara.

"So, do you want to meet up for lunch? it's been a while and I have a couple of hours to spend before my afternoon appointment." I asked after draining my coffee cup.

"Yeah sure, I'm going groceries shopping then probably to the bookstore. You didn't tell me that being a househusband can be so relaxing." Benji muttered, in between munching his omelet. The man was bored, he had been keeping himself busy with his books and baking cookies for Tara but after quitting his job with the agency he needed something to fill his time with.

"I thought you're going to hit that new gym across the bookstore, take up a few classes, not that you need to...I can drool from our naked time with you right now, and not want you to check out other guys there. But I thought there might be some classes available to fill your days."

"Hmm... guys in tights sounds good, I might check out the place later." He teased and grinned at me mischievously, but I know Ben is loyal while he suggest me otherwise. I look at the wedding ring on his finger, take his hand, and kiss his knuckles. "I love you too, baby." I winked at him and he laughs at me telling me he loves me too and he would never want other men.

Our morning started great, but we were interrupted by a call from the hospital when we were having our lunch. It was Peggy, she was with mom when she informed me that dad had passed away. "Another heart attack, a fatal one, you need to come to the hospital your mom needs you." Ben settled the bill the second he overheard the news, I was still stunned when he took my hand and lead me out of the restaurant. He took my phone, call my PA to reschedule my appointments for the next two days, called Allie at home and told her about the news, and get my driver to meet us in front of the restaurant.

The next thing I knew we were in a hospital room, my dad lay as if he was sleeping and mom was to his side, crying, then paused the second she saw us enter the room.

"I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm going to give you some privacy," Ben whispered, telling me he'd be outside with Peggy. I just nodded and went to mom and hugged her and let her cry in my arms. I didn't say goodbye to him, I should be hating him and my mom for the way they stubbornly hated Benjamin. But suddenly memories of my childhood floods into my mind and I sobbed along with mom while the room sealed us with our griefs.

We came back to stay at my parents' home that night, I was there for mom. She loved dad so much, that she was a total wreck and I need to be with her for a while. Benjamin hugged me when mom went to her room to change and he was there to tell me to be with my mom and that he'll be with Tara. "We'll stay here for as long as you need to be."

He was there for me, just in the vicinity, and gave mom and me the privacy that we needed. The next day Peggy and Benjamin arrange everything while I talk with mom, and our lawyers, the funeral was being arranged, and by the end of the night, Benjamin was still up waiting for me to fall in his embrace. I was in his arms, comfortably seeking his love and putting the whole day away.

The day after the funeral we were still at my parents'. I need to get back to work and Ben still wrapped me in his arms, my body refuses to leave the comfort of my bed. Mom was probably having breakfast with Tara by now, my kid didn't seem to notice that her grandad had passed away, she had been playful with her grandma and that's what mom needs for now.

"Are you okay being here at my parents? we can go back, I can check in on mom every couple of days." I asked resting my chin to the crook of his neck, pulling his body closer needing to feel our closeness.

"I'll stay here for as long as your mom needs you to be. This is a big house, I'm sure I can avoid meeting her if she didn't want me to be near her." His words bit back and I try not to put him in such a position. "I love you, Jasper, you know I'd do anything for you." His eyes were on mine and he softly lay a chaste kiss on my forehead.

Love him so fucking much.

"Well, since you mentioned it I do need to shower and I miss my husband." He chuckled and started stripping my t-shirt off my body and pulling me out of the bed. "Come on, let me get you ready for work."

"I miss our naked time." We were both naked when he pushed my back to the wall latching his lips to mine, telling me that he missed me too. Our dicks aligned, rutting, his moans were low and sexy as the hot water pours trailing down our bodies.

The last couple of days he had been there for me, he had given me the distance I need and now it's time that I showed him my appreciation. Benji whimpered when I turned him to face the shower wall, his chest flat against the cool tiles I was sucking, licking, and biting the back of his shoulder while my dick slides between his ass cheeks.

"Legs parted, hands on your cheeks, and open yourself for me," I demanded, and reward him with a long stroke to his length. His voice was drunk in lust when he moan my name, my other hand holds his neck, grabbing his jaw guiding him to indulge in our kiss. "Can I fuck you hard?" The frustration of losing dad had taken a toll on me, while sleeping in his arms had been comforting in the last couple of days but I needed more, I needed my release. I needed my husband, needed our dirty, hard-pounding, ass slapping sex.

"Yes, oh fuck, yes, please..." he begged as I stroked his dick harder and faster. My name resonates throughout the bathroom walls when I pushed my tip to his entrance, the lube made it easy and I stretched him, then he clenched when I slapped his ass cheeks one side after another, repeatedly, until he was pink and shuddered, and paint his cum onto the shower wall.

His arms hold on to mine the second I wrap his body and keep on pounding him hard and fast. "I got you, baby, hold on, hands on the wall." I groaned louder, then kiss between his shoulder blades when I finally climax and pumped my cum into him.

"I love you, Benjamin."

"I love you too, hubby." He slowly turns around, wrapping his arms around my shoulder and pulling me closer for our lazy post-orgasmic kisses.
