Love’n’Lust

“Are you okay?” Ben thought he should ask her because she looked distressed about the call she just had.

“Yeah.” She nodded before putting her phone back in her purse.

“You are such a horrible liar if you should know.” He said and she looked up from her purse at him.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

He was right, she wasn’t okay, she was worried and he could fish that out.

“You should have just said; I am not okay but I also don’t want to talk about it.” He said again before looking away from her.”You don’t have to tell me what the problem is, I mean you are not obligated to, we are not a couple now, are we? Just let me know if I can help.”

After that, the car became silent till they got to a boutique. As she was used to him doing since she met him, he got down first and came for her.

His hand around her tiny waist, he walked into the boutique with her and she couldn’t help but wonder what this man wanted. He had just told her earlier, back at the restaurant that he didn’t love her and that he couldn’t but here he was holding her like she was in something serious with him.

She wondered what was stopping him from giving himself a chance at love when he could treat a woman right. She was only thinking about things this way because she didn’t know about the scary side of Ben Larkson, the side which everyone dreaded.

It wasn’t usually published, how unforgiving and ruthless he could be when he wanted to be, the press companies didn’t dare do so, if they did that then they would be sued to their last penny.

Everyone feared Ben Larkson as much as they loved but here Belle was, thinking about how nice a man he was. Even the person he was closest to, his cousin sister; Jenna knew how dreadful he was but Belle didn’t.

“Get anything and everything you want,” Ben let go of her when they were inside the boutique, putting both his hands in his trouser pockets.

Belle looked around and she could see that the boutique was empty. It was a famous boutique known for their high prices but there was no one there, no one except the boutique’s clerk and a man to show her around.

She didn’t know this, but Ben had texted an order, wanting the boutique empty before they arrived there, he didn’t want her(Belle) sharing the boutique with anyone while she shopped. He stood next to her, watching her tour the place with her eyes which still looked distressed, he didn’t like to see her in that mood.

“Belle.” He called and she turned to him.”Help yourself with whatever you want.” He told her but she began to shake her head slowly.

“I… I don’t know what I want or what to get…” She said, her eyes viewing around the place again.

“What do you mean,” His question was more of a statement because there was no way she had been looking at the different things arranged there and not know what to get. He expected her to be excited and to move around and go through the designer clothes and the pieces of jewelry present but she wasn’t doing that.

“…..” Belle didn’t know how to tell him.

“You don’t want to get some things for yourself? At least get something for those friends of yours, you have mentioned them more than once.” He told her mad and watched her scratch her neck while looking downwards.

“They don’t know about you,” She looked back up at him as she spoke, “They don’t know that you, Ben Larkson, are the person I met via that app, they don’t know that I have been with you since last night, I can’t just go back to the apartment with new things like the last time when I had returned home in different clothing. What do I tell them, that I decided to go shopping and get them some things? I’m sure I can’t even afford anything here and you are asking me to get something for myself and for my friends.” She poured out some of the things she had in her thoughts.

“Is that what you have been thinking about?” He asked her, not looking bothered about all she just said. He thought she was worrying about unnecessary things.

“Belle,” he called her like he usually did, walking to shorten the little space between them.”You worry about unnecessary things, you know.”

“Unnecessary things? So, you would rather I let them know about you?”

“Let them know, tell them about me, that’s not a problem, don’t worry yourself with little things like this Belle, okay?” He held her face with his right hand, his left still in his pocket.

He lifted her chin and made her look at him at close range as he admired her blue eyes.

“The only thing I want you worried about from now on is how swollen your pussy is going to be after every night with me, do you understand?” He told her in a voice that made her twitch in between her legs.

Massaging her lips from their upper part to their lower part, she closed her eyes, he let his hands fondle her slender neck, enjoying how his touch made her feel, he smiled.

“You,” She opened her eyes when he called to the man waiting at their service.”You, come here.”

She saw the man walk over to them as Ben ordered. He now stood in front of them, with his head down.

“Tour her around the place, recommend what you think would look good on her.” He told the man who nodded to his every word. Ben’s hands were back to her face, stroking her smooth cheek with a smile.

“I will wait here while you shop, okay?” He lifted her chin so she could face him again and she nodded.

“Good.”
