Hey guys, I thought I would just give you a content warning for this chapter; as there is some intimacy between Ben and Mal. Enjoy! Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxo


I slowly opened my eyes as the light through the curtains hit me; the memories from last night were still strong in my mind and I smiled at them. I slowly slid my head up and noticed that Ben was still sleeping. I was glad that he had a good time last night; yes he did have a lot to drink but at least he was able to spend some time with me, Evie and Doug. I snuggled my head back into his chest and I started to slowly stroke his stomach. I started to drag my fingers down and I felt Ben take a deep breath underneath me. I stole a glance up and noticed that Ben's eyes were starting to roll as he woke up.

"Morning" he yawned.

"Morning" I answered back.

"My head hurts" he said as he put his head into his left hand. I couldn't help but chuckle at Ben and I watched as his eyes slowly opened again.

"Why are you laughing?" he accused.

"In fact why are you not as hung over? He questioned.

"I am; just not as bad as you. I'm used to getting drunk you're not" I teased.

"Hmph!" he puffed.

"It's ok baby. I'll look after you" I flirted as I started to kiss his bare chest.

"Hmmmm" Ben purred and I slowly pushed up and pressed my lips against his.

"Come closer" Ben stated as he pulled me closer. I moved further towards Ben so I could kiss him more; our faces moved in sync together and Ben pulled away a couple of seconds in. I cheekily grinned at him and kissed him again and I felt him start to dig into me so I moved slightly off Ben and the slowly started to drag my hands down Ben's stomach.

"What are you doing Dragon? He flirted as my hand stopped between his naval and member.

"Well I was just thinking we could finish what we started last night" I flirted.

"Hmmmm" he grunted. I slid my hand further down then winked at him before abruptly taking him in my hand. I heard Ben take a sharp breath in in reaction to me doing this.

"Oh god Mal" he moaned as I started to stroke him.

"I haven't even started yet baby" I flirted as I continued to stroke him. I heard him grunt in response to me stroking him and I then pulled the blanket down so I could get a better view.

"I know what will make you feel even better" I flirted.

"Yeah?" he asked as he bit his lip as he tried not to moan.

"This" I said as I slowly moved down the bed and slowly took him in my mouth. I heard Ben moan at this and I continued to keep doing this for a few minutes more until Ben pushed me away and climbed on top of me to finish what we started the night before.


After spending a few more hours in bed me and Ben got ready and dressed in lazy day clothes. We decided against going to his gym to work out and decided instead to go and play video games. I was just as excided to play them as Ben was; especially the game I had got him.

"I'm sure you just bought this game so you can play on it" he teased as he sat down next to me after setting his PS4 up.

"Well you wanted it as well didn't you?" I said sarcastically as he handed me his second controller.

"Yes" he confirmed as he playfully shoved me.

"Well then" I laughed as I playfully shoved him back.

"I can still beat you at it" I stated smugly.

"Oi!" he said feigning hurt.

"Famous last words Miss Faery" he warned which made me roll my eyes at him.

"Whatever Mr Adams" I answered sarcastically as the game started to load in.

"I like it when you call me that" he muttered.

"Well you like it a lot more than your middle name" I teased.

"Don't" he warned.

"Or else what?" I stated.

"Bertha" he said smugly.

"Grrr!" I growled at him.

"You're for it now" I said as I watched as Ben started to select two player mode.

"Promises promises baby" he said and we both quickly turned our attention to the screen as the level started to play.


After playing a couple a levels of Doom; we decided to play the newest Tourney game however instead of working together me and Ben played against each other.

"I do have the upper hand here babe" he stated smugly.

"Doesn't mean anything" I muttered as the game started.

"Whoa!" Ben said as my player tackled his and I started heading towards the kill zone.

"You were saying" I stated smugly as I passed the ball to another play and started to backflip through the kill zone.

"Ha ha" he said as his player chased after me and nearly tackled me to the floor.

"Nearly got you" he teased as he switched players and then started running for me.

"Nearly" I said as I made my player pass to another player but he managed to get the ball from me.

"Ha!" he stated smugly as he started to make his player run for the kill zone.

"Hmph!" I puffed as I chased after him and then tackled him.

"What?" he asked as he started to chase after me again.

"Ha!" I stated smugly mimicking him as I started to head towards the goal. I passed to another player and then attempted to score and fist pumped when the ball hit the back of the net.

"Yes!" I said dancing.

"That was a lucky shot" he puffed as it started again and he attempted to run down to my side of the field.

"Wasn't" I muttered. We played for a few more minutes before Ben managed to score a goal.

"Yes!" he stated as he playfully shoved me.

"Game on!" I said sarcastically. We continued to play the game until it was into the last few seconds of the game; Ben had managed to sneak past me slightly with the score currently being 8-7 but I was currently on my way to scoring another goal.

"Mal" I heard him say. I knew what he was going to do; he was trying to distract me so I wouldn't score.

"Yes" I answered not taking my eyes from the screen.

"Love you" he said as he knocked his knee against mine.

"That's not going to stop me scoring, sorry" I said still not taking my eyes from the screen as I knocked my knee against his.

"Fine I'll just stop you" he teased as he reached his hands over and started pressing buttons on the controller. I hastily pulled my hands away so he couldn't get to the controller; out the corner of my eye I saw him smirk.

"I'll just try another tactic" he teased.

"Wha?" I asked as I suddenly felt his hand catch my side and he started to tickle me.

"Ben stop it" I whined as I started to wriggle away from him.

"No" he teased as he continued to tickle me.

"Yes" I snapped.

"Ben!" I shrieked as he started to tickle my neck and under my chin.

"Stop it now!" I snapped as he continued. I moved my mouth next to his hand and pressed my teeth against his hand. He pulled his hand away as his eyes widened.

"Did you just go to bite me?" he stated.

"Maybe" I muttered which made him laugh. We both heard the whistle blow twice to tell us that the game was over.

"YES!" Ben shouted as he fist pumped.

"Ben!" I shouted.

"You cheated!" I accused.

"I could have won there if I got the right shot!" I said as I shoved him.

"I know" he said smugly.

"But I can't let the word get out that my girlfriend is better at Tourney than me" he teased.

"Ben it's just a game" I stated sarcastically.

"Whatever" he stated smugly.

"Hmph!" I puffed.

"Another game?" he asked cheekily.

"Well that depends" I said sarcastically.

"On?" he asked.

"Are you going to cheat this time?" I asked sarcastically.

"Depends" he said with a large grin.

"On?" I asked mimicking him.

"Are you going to try to beat me?" he teased.

"Probably" I said irritated.

"It's cute when you pull that face" he noted.

"What face?" I asked as I pulled one brow up.

"The one when you are annoyed" he said lovingly.

"Erm ok" I said slowly as I didn't really know how to react to that.

"Come here" Ben said and he pulled me into a hug.

"Sorry I cheated" he muttered into my ear.

"It's fine" I said.

"You'll just have to make it up to me" I flirted.

"How?" he asked as he pulled away.

"Hmmm I'd settle for a kiss" I teased.

"Hmmmmm" Ben said and he pressed a kiss against my lips.

"Settled?" he asked.

"Settled" I confirmed with a smile.

"Mal" he said after a couple of seconds.

"Yes?" I answered.

"Come here" he said.

"I am here" I stated as I started to get confused.

"No here" he said pulling me closer to him as I watched him pull his phone out of his pocket, he quickly flicked his camera on and extended his arm so the camera could see both me and Ben.

"Oh" I said slowly as I realised what he wanted and I slid closer to him and then rested my chin against his shoulder and smiled. I watched as Ben took a couple of photos of us and then when he pulled his arm back he looked at them lovingly.

"Needed a new one?" I asked.

"Yeah" he advised as I watched as he made one of them his phone wallpaper.

"Haven't taken many recently" he stated as he slid his phone back into his pocket.

"We took some last night" I teased.

"Yeah well those were dreadful" he grimaced as he pulled a face.

"Because you were drunk" I teased further.

"Yes" he said pulling another face which made me laugh.

"Stop laughing at me" he said as he jabbed me in the side.

"Sorry baby" I said as I pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"So another game?" I asked hoping to distract him.

"Game on Dragon!" he said as he selected rematch.

"This time don't cheat" I warned. I heard him laugh and we started to play the next Tourney game; which I happened to end up winning to Ben's dismay.


After playing for a few hours on the PS4 we then got ready to go to the Enchanted Lake; the ride on the back of Ben's scooter was quite quick but I enjoyed it anyway. I was able to snuggle into Ben's back so it gave me an excuse to cuddle him. When we arrived at our usual spot we quickly pulled our clothes off to reveal our swimming clothes underneath. Ben wanted to jump straight in but I wanted to jump in off the cliff; so we walked up slowly together and when we got more closer to the top Ben helped me up first and followed after me.

"Mal wait until I get up there before you jump in" he instructed as he was a few steps behind me.

"Ok" I called back but then I suddenly felt mischievous. With the memory of him tricking me when I thought something was wrong with him in my mind; I quickly glanced at the water and jumped into the water as I screamed. I had no concerns about drowning this time; I was a lot better at swimming now.

"MAL!" I heard Ben shout as I went under the water. I started to dive down under the water and managed to find a rock to hold onto to keep me under the water for a little bit and to hide behind.

"MAL!" I heard Ben shout again and I watched as he dove under the water. I swam a little bit away from him and opened my mouth slightly to let a few air bubbles leave my mouth. I watched as he frantically swam around looking for me; the ache in my lungs started to get a bit overwhelming but was relieved when Ben resurfaced so I slowly followed him back to the surface. I made sure that I was behind him so he couldn't see me so as I resurfaced I pulled his swim shorts down a little bit.

"Mal!" he snapped as he turned around the look at me. I burst out laughing as I tried to regulate my breathing and I pulled my drenched hair from my face.

"Mal that wasn't funny I thought something happened to you" he said scolding me as he swam in front of me.

"Not very nice is it" I said sarcastically as I shook my head.

"Hmph!" he puffed.

"Come here" he said and he pulled me to him and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Ben!" I shrieked.

"I'm only cuddling you dear" he said as he rested his chin on my head.

"No you're not" I accused.

"You're going to do something" I said looking up at him.

"Well I'm not going to pull your pants down" he stated sarcastically.

"Well not yet... I can wait until we get home for that" he quickly added as a flirtatious glint entered his eye.

"Hmmmm Beastie" I flirted as I pressed a kiss against his lips.

"No one will have seen Beastie Junior so don't worry" I said as I placed my hands on his chest.

"He's mine" I said as I quickly dragged my hands down and quickly cupped him in my hands.

"Hmm Mal" he said as he quickly kissed me. As we were kissing I felt Ben's right hand loosen around my waist and I felt his hand side around my front and he cupped me in between my legs. I pulled apart and smirked at him.

"Mine" he muttered and I felt his fingers move slightly through my swimsuit.

"Ben we need to be careful" I told him as I let go off his member.

"I know but you started it" he said as he tightened his left arm around me pulling me closer to him.

"Yeah well I'm allowed" I said as my breathing hitched as I felt his fingers move against me again. I smirked at him and I pushed away from him; Ben reluctantly let go of me and he pulled one brow up in confusion.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Swimming" I stated as I started to bob away a little bit away from him.

"I need the practice remember" I teased as I swam away.

"Come and get me Beastie" I called back. I heard him laugh and I heard the water splash as he swam after me. I didn't get very far before he caught up with me and pulled me back to him to press a kiss to my lips.


After a while swimming and winding each other me and Ben were now sitting on the stone platform watching the sun set. The sky was in an arrangement of colours; the remaining heat coming from the sun was basking over me and Ben. The sun was now halfway down the horizon; I found myself very settled. I was sitting in mine and Ben's private spot snuggled into Ben with him sitting behind me and I didn't want this night to end.

"Mal" Ben said as my head was snuggled into his shoulder.

"Yeah" I answered.

"Did I mention that I love you?" he asked me which made me giggle.

"You may have told me once or twice" I laughed as he kissed my cheek.

"I am so lucky to have you" he muttered into my ear.

"Apparently so" I laughed.

"Do you feel rested?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"Yep" he answered back happily.

"Good, my plan worked then" I answered back smugly.

"Yep" he repeated.

"I love you Florian" I said as I started to stare at the lake.

"I love you too Bertha" I heard him reply. Instead of rolling my eyes like I normally do I snuggled back into his head and I sighed.

"You didn't roll your eyes then" he noted.

"Yeah well yes I still don't like it but I'm very comfortable around you. Anyone else calls me it then it's a problem" I answered.

"No one else knows do they?" he asked.

"Well Evie, Jay and Carlos do but that's because you've called me it in front of them" I advised.

"Sorry" he said sadly.

"It's ok Florian" I answered back with a smile as I pulled away and I quickly kissed him.

"I don't think you realise how much you mean to me sometimes" he said happily.

"I think I know Ben" I laughed lovingly as I looked up at him and started to stare into his eyes.

"Mal not many girlfriends would do what you have done this weekend" he said as he looked into my eyes.

"Well they are obviously not as awesome as me then" I stated with a smile.

"Nope" he agreed.

"Audrey would have just left you to it" I said as I pursed my lips together.

"Yeah" he answered sarcastically.

"But I don't think our relationship would have gone the distance" he admitted.

"No?" I questioned.

"No" he confirmed.

"She practically asked me out; so she probably would have got me to propose to her somehow. However I don't think my heart would have been in it" he advised.

"It sounded like you wouldn't have had much say or freedom" I noted sadly.

"No; not like I have with you" he said as he started to smile again.

"Yeah well I just want you to be you" I admitted.

"Because that is that man that I love; crown or not" I said proudly.

"I know that's another reason why I love you" he answered back.

"Mal you know when you came here?" he asked.

"Yes" I said.

"You know when we talked before about it?" he questioned.

"Yes" I repeated.

"And you said that even if I wasn't king you think we would have still ended being together" he said as he started to run his fingers up and down my upper arm.

"Yes" I said for a third time.

"I love that you think that" he said as he tightened his arms around me.

"I know you do" I replied.

"But in all honesty I think you are probably one of the very few people who would have done what you did. For example if Chad was king he would definitely not bring us here. Especially me" I said.

"But let's say for arguments sake that he did bring me here; I probably wouldn't have to put a love spell on him. The flirting would have been too much to bear; he probably wouldn't have needed that much persuasion to leave Audrey" I explained.

"I see" he replied.

"Yeah you probably would have still imprinted on me and wanted to get to know me. You probably would get accused of being a girlfriend stealer when I left him" I teased.

"How?" he asked. I knew that we had had this conversation in the past however going over things like this felt nice for me and Ben.

"Well yes we flirt a lot but it's different with you you're my boyfriend. But we didn't flirt that much at the start" I advised.

"Agreed" he confirmed.

"But like your mother said it's hard to resist the level of love, support and devotion that your beast gives you. It all makes so much more sense now" I said smiling.

"If I was a couple with Chad it wouldn't have been with him for very long; but I think at some stage me and you would have crossed paths and got together" I added happily.

"Yes" he said and he pulled me into a tight hug.

"I wouldn't like the thought of you being with Chad" he said into my hair.

"I wouldn't like the thought of being with Chad" I joked.

"I know he's one of our friends and he is canny enough; but he really isn't someone that I would go for" I said as I looked up at him.

"I see" he said as he brushed his nose against mine.

"You say you're the lucky one but it's me that's lucky" I said as I stared into his eyes.

"You have always thought that I am not evil" I said and I quickly looked down.

"Mal look at me" Ben demanded and I slowly looked back up at him.

"I know you are not evil; I've always known because you are my other half" he said as he took my hands in his. He gave them a gentle squeeze and he looked down at my double dragon birthmark and smiled. He then interlocked his fingers with mine and he pulled my forearm up towards him and he lovingly kissed it. I smiled at him doing this; another thing that I loved about Ben was that he loved everything about me. Every mark and scar on my body I hated he loved and he made sure that I knew that; which made me love him even more.

"My beautiful Dragon" he mused.

"My beautiful Beast" I answered back before pushing my lips against his.
