“Stay the night with me. I’ll have you back in time.”
Damn, I want to. “But I have class at eight, and I’ll have to go to my dorm to get ready before then.”
He kisses me on my lips and quickly pulls back. “Okay, it’s settled.”
“Ben!” I say.
He opens the driver's side door. “Get in and scoot over.”
“You’re not going to want to get up that early.”
I slide into his truck, and he waits until I’m settled before he slides in next to me. “Princess, you’re about to find out exactly what I’ll do to have you in my bed with me.”
He starts the truck, pulls out, and then holds my hand the whole way back to his cabin. I have a hundred questions on how this is going to work, but right now, all I can think about is that I get to sleep in the same bed as Ben Dalton and the fact that I’m his ol’ lady.

Lexi huffs next to me, and I smile into the darkness. “You okay?”
She huffs again. “Yeah.”
I turn to face her even though I don’t dare touch her. It’s killing me not to have her in my arms right now, but I don’t trust myself to just let her sleep. She has to be up early in the morning, and I’m not going to be the reason she gets behind on schoolwork or anything else.
I find her eyes in the darkness, and she’s staring back at me. “Talk to me, princess.”
“I don’t know. Did you change your mind?”
I lean up on my elbow. “Change my mind about what?”
She follows suit and looks at me, and her voice softens. “About me.”
I lean toward her. “I’m sorry. Did I miss something? I just claimed you in front of my club. You think I changed my mind between then and now?”
She straightens her arm out and lays her head on it. “Well, when you say it like that…”
She doesn’t finish her thought, so I scoot closer to her. “What’s going on in that pretty head of yours?”
My plan was to keep my distance so she can rest, but I’m itching to put my hands on her.
“I just thought that if you wanted me here, you’d want to do more than sleep… that’s all.”
I blow out a breath. “You have class in the morning.”
She raises up again. “Wait. Are you saying you’re not touching me because I have to be up early?”
I nod. “There’s already so many reasons why you and me are a bad idea, princess, I don’t need to add to it by not letting you get enough rest for class.”
She laughs. “Ben, I graduate in a few months.”
I nod. “Congratulations. What are your plans after?”
She lies back on the bed and looks up at the ceiling. “I’m already working. I have a marketing company and have three clients.” She holds one hand up. “And yes, before you ask, one of them is my brother, but there’s not any nepotism with the other two.”
“I’m sure you’re great at your job, princess. I’m not surprised your brother would hire you up.”
I lie down on my back and look up at the ceiling too. Our shoulders are touching, and that’s enough to make me a little crazy. “So let me get this straight. You work and go to school full-time.”
“Yep.”
“So you’re staying around here then.”
She giggles. “Well, I just found out I’m Ben Dalton’s ol’ lady, so yeah, I’m sticking around for a while.”
She rolls to her side, and before I can say anything, she lifts herself up and swings her leg over me until she’s straddling my hips. “Okay, Big Ben, I promise I will get some rest, right after this.”
My hands go to her hips, and I hold her to me, grinding my hips up against her. Her hands go to my shoulders, and she’s smiling over me.
“I had good intentions, princess. I was going to let you go to sleep, and then I was going to pull you against me and hold you until it was time to wake up.”
She gasps as she rubs herself against me. “You like to cuddle? I wouldn’t have thought that about you.”
I lean up until we’re chest to chest. I cup her face in my hands. “Yeah, well, I have never liked it before, but with you, I’m finding I’m wanting things I’ve never wanted before.”
I kiss her because I can’t hold back anymore. She’s grinding against me, and my cock is seeping, wanting to be inside her. She pulls back, breathless. “Okay, so I think we should make a few rules.”
I pull her shirt up, and she raises her arms so I can pull it off her. “I don’t like rules,” I grunt at her.
She laughs, pressing her bare breasts into my hands. “I think you’ll like these rules.”
