AN: Well, I've become obsessed with this pairing lol. Even though I do ship me some Riley and Ben. This is probably only going to be a one shot, even if, at the end, it looks like it could be.
Well, it could, but I don't know. It was pretty fun writing this. If I do plan on more chapters, a lemon will definitely present itself.
Disclaimer: I no own Baby Daddy. I only own my thoughts… and my life.
Riley knocked on the door, then quickly leaned against the wall, hitting the number that would replay her voice message.
"I've been so in love with her ever since she climbed into my tree house," Danny's deep voice said, unaware that it had been recording into a voice mail to Riley.
Just then, the door opened, and there, looming over her, was Danny, looking good in a grey wife beater and sweats. His brown hair was mused, as if he had just gotten out of bed. "Riley!" His eyes popped open.
"Danny," she said breathlessly, "can I come in? I need to talk to you." Here goes nothing. She steadied her breath. She shoved her phone in her purse, thanking God that the message couldn't be heard.
A worried look flitted across his face as he searched her face. "Yeah, yeah! Come on in!" He waved her in, shutting the door behind the blonde. He led her to the couch. "What is it, Riley?"
With her heart beating fast, she gazed into his blue eyes. She could get lost in those eyes. She knew what she felt now, and he was going to know in a minute. Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth to pour out her soul, "I-"
"Danny?" A very female voice called out, a rustling sound sounding out behind them. It was also a familiar one.
Turning around on the couch, Riley saw Milena standing in the hall in one of Danny's shirts, with nothing else on. It was very clear to Riley now as to why Danny had mused hair. Now that she had a clear mind, she jumped up. "You know what, Danny? It's not important."
"Riley, wait!" Danny called out, just missing the blonde as she closed the door behind her. Turning around, he looked at Milena. "Hold on, something's wrong." He pulled the door open, just to hear his voice saying that one sentence that he never wanted to hear from somewhere else again.
"I've been so in love with her ever since she climbed into my tree house." His chilling voice said.
Riley was leaning against the wall next to the door, her head swinging towards Danny, brown eyes wide. Her finger darted to her phone, pressing the number that would delete the message. "Danny!"
Danny was shocked and a bit horrified. What was she thinking right now? What exactly was she going to say before his model girlfriend had interrupted her. "You weren't supposed to get that."
"You weren't supposed to find out I knew." She echoed, looking down. Her heart slowed, her face heating up.
"Well, what were you going to say to me, Riley?" Danny asked, taking a small step towards her. He was playing it safe. She was unreadable at that moment. His heart skipped a beat as she looked up at him.
"I was going to tell you-" She started, but was again interrupted by Milena.
"Danny, come back to bed with me!" The dark haired beauty whined, batting her eyes. She came up behind him, wrapping her arms around his toned stomach.
Without even a small glance out of his peripherals at his girlfriend, her unwrapped her arms from him and took a slightly bigger step towards Riley.
Riley had the look of defeat in her eyes. She was about to give up. "Nothing." She said, stuffing her phone into her purse, turning to walk away.
"Riley! Wait!" Danny shouted, galloping towards her, grabbing her arm and swinging her to look at him. "Tell me what you were about to say. I'm listening." He really wanted to know.
Tears were forming in the corners of her eyes. She glanced over at Milena, who was standing there, her arms still outstretched, eyes wide in confusion. She quickly looked back at Danny, who was observing her every move. She wanted to forget about it. He had a model girlfriend. Riley was dull in comparison. "Nothing." She whispered, her heart cracking. Why had it taken her long to figure this out? Why was everything going wrong?
Danny had caught the look on Riley's face when she had looked past him at Milena. It had been a look of depressing longing mixed with sorrow hurt, and a bit of wistfulness. In that moment, he knew how she felt about him. Butterflies formed in his stomach as her wrapped a muscular arm around her waist and jerked her forward. Her soft curves melded with his hard contours. He was a whisper away from kissing her. "You are my first choice, always."
Riley's breath hitched, her heart fluttering. A warm feeling spread within her. "Wha-"
Again, she got cut off. This time, though, it wasn't from Milena. Danny crushed his lips against hers, pulling her tighter to him. His heart beat fast and hard as his whole life fell into place. He was finally where he imagined he would be: right in the arms of Riley, his best friend.
Her lips were warm and compliant and tasted a bit like cherries. He couldn't help but let his hands roam about her. They traveled up her sides, sliding over the curves of her hips, over her shoulder, and raked through her soft dirty blonde hair, pulling her face closer to his.
As Danny deepened the kiss, Riley fell into it. She poured her soul into this kiss, her hands sliding up his washboard abs, muscular chest, one hand stopping to claw at his broad shoulders. The other one continued to cup his face. The rough contact of his scruff against her soft hands excited her more. She pushed her body against his. Her heart was thundering with excitement and love. She was kissing the man that she loved.
The kiss slowly ended, Danny pulling his head back slightly, his nose tickling her cheek. Gradually, he traveled up to her ear, his facial hair skimming lightly over the sensitive spot where her jaw met her ear. "This is the way it was always meant to be." His warm breath whispered across her sensitive skin, goose bumps popping up. He felt shivers wrack her body. His already hard on hardened more. It took everything that he had not to take her right then.
"That's… nice." Riley moaned softly, stretching her neck out, allowing him more access. This was amazing. She was relieved that she had realized that she was in like with the wrong brother. The brother she was meant to be with was much better. "Danny." She whispered, clenching her eyes shut. She hoped this wasn't a dream. That would be really messed up. This was too good to be unreal. She held on tightly.
He heard the little doubt in her voice. He nibbled on her ear before trailing kisses down her neck, his tongue darting out a little. She jerked with each new sensation. He knew exactly how she felt. This felt unreal, like it was a dream. He trailed kisses back up her neck, nibbling her ear before kissing her forehead. Next, he reached her head. There, he pressed a hard, firm kiss, wrapping her up tightly in his arms. "This isn't a dream." He pulled back long enough to say before burying his face back into her hair, relishing the strawberry scent.
"No, it's not." Riley whispered, reassuring herself. She clung on tight to him, burying her face into his chest, relishing its warmth and manly smell.
A comfortable silence enveloped them. Only breathing could be heard. Comforting intakes and outtakes of breath. This was real.
"Excuse me?" the sharp voice of Milena rang out, breaking the silence and bringing them back into reality, "What about me?" A pause, and then, "You know, your ever present girlfriend?"
"Oh crap." Ran through both of their minds at the same moment.
