Mal's POV

It had been going on three hours now. I knew it was going to take him a while. It took me a while to place all the clues and I didn't even have to go back and forth because I knew which clue went where. I got a text a from Evie telling me that Ben had already made it to our dorm. I knew now all he had to do was go to the castle and find the last clue but it was taking him longer than it should.

I heard him try the door handle, then I heard the lock click. I smiled as he opened the door and saw me. I watched as he smiled brightly at me.

I was sitting on his bed in a long sleeve purple sweater with little black studs on the cuffs and black leggings. I thought it would be best to be comfortable and I wanted to make sure I wore clothes that were easy to take off.

"Finally" I said to him.

"Hey! You had me running all over the place" he said as he took his gloves, coat, hat and scarf off and set them in the chair by the door. He pulled off his wet snow boots and socks, putting his socks inside his boots and left them by the door also. I just laughed, imagining him scurrying around trying to find the clues.

I looked him up and down. He was wearing a dark blue long sleeve cotton shirt and dark jeans. He looked good with his hair a little tousled from his beanie. I wondered what he would think about the fact that he could turn me on by doing absolutely nothing.

"Well you found them all" I said grinning at him. He walked over to the bed, sitting down next to me. He reached up and cupped my face in both hands, bringing my lips to his. The kiss was slow and loving and ended too soon.

"Hi" he said smiling at me.

"Hi" I said back. "So have you put the clues together and figured out what your gift might be?" I asked him in a teasing voice.

"Well, all I know is all the clues, except the last one, are things that have happened in our relationship, but I still can't figure out what gift you would give me that they have to do with" he said.

"Ok do you have the clues with you?" I asked. He stood up and walked over to his jacket and pulled the cards out of one of the pockets and brought them over to me and I looked at them.

"Ok, so clue number one was when we first met" I began and he nodded. "Clues number two and three were when the ball started rolling so I had to include them. Clue number four was when when you first asked me out. Clue number five was our first date. Clue number six was when I first realized I wanted to be with you and be good. Clue number seven was our fist kiss. Are you seeing a pattern yet?" I asked him. He still looked confused.

"They are all of our firsts. First date, first kiss, first time we said I love you" I explained to him.

"But we haven't had any firsts in my dorm" he said looking around. "Unless this is going to be a first date in my dorm room" he said after he noticed the snacks. I just giggled at him. I loved his innocence and the fact that he wasn't presumptuous. He turned back to look at me and I just kissed him. I dragged my lips across his cheek, placing a kiss at the corner of his jaw

"That isn't exactly the first I had in mind" I said close to his ear as I continued to kiss along his neck.

He made a growling noise in the back of his throat as his hands came up to my face, pulling my lips to his. He kissed me passionately. His tongue swept across mine and I just savored his mouth. I felt him begin to shift. He broke the kiss as he pulled his legs up on the bed, so he was now on his knees. He leaned toward me pushing me back so I was laying down. He kissed me again as he hovered over me, moving again to place his knees between my legs. He broke the kiss once again and looked at me.

"So tell me, what first do you have in mind?" he asked me seductively, with a smirk on his face. I stared at him for a moment. I was pretty sure he knew exactly what first I had in mind at this point, but he wanted me to say it.

"The first time we make love" I said boldly, my eyes never leaving his. He kissed me softly once again before pulling back.

"I should probably tell you now that I don't have any condoms in this room and my wallet is down in the car" he said to me.

"We don't need one" I said. He looked a little confused. "My birth control is just as effective at preventing pregnancy as a condom would be, if not more so, and neither one of us has been with anyone else, so a condom isn't really necessary" I said, leaning up to kiss him. He once again broke the kiss.

"Are you sure you are ready?" he asked. I reached up and cupped the side of his face with my right hand, touched by his sincerity.

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life. Well apart from loving you" I said with a smile.

He kissed me again. I cupped the back of his head, letting my fingers run through his hair, so he wouldn't pull away again. He lowered his body to mine and tingles ran through me as our bodies met. I moaned out against his mouth when he ran his hand down my side, to my thigh, hitching my leg up over his hip as he rubbed himself against me. I was on fire for him. I writhed beneath him as need built up inside me. I lowered my hands down his chest, to the bottom of his shirt. I gripped it and began pulling. I just wanted to feel his skin. He pulled back slightly and reached over his head, pulling his shirt over his head and off. I watched as he tossed it to the floor. I ran my hands up his chest around the back of his neck pulling him back to me and kissing him again. He was so warm as I let my hands skim up and down his back, relishing the feel of his skin under my hands. He pulled back and looked at me for a moment.

"Your turn" he said as he gripped my waist and rolled us over pulling me on top of him.

I giggled as I sat up, straddling him. I couldn't believe how smoothly he did that. He chuckled and I leaned down to kiss him, bracing myself on my hands by his head. His hands moved from my thighs to my waist. I sat back as he began to sit up. I smiled, loving this position. I loved being this close to him without a lot of work. He grabbed the bottom of my sweater pulling it up. I lifted my arms as he pulled it over my head and threw it on floor with his.

"You're so sexy" he said looking at me in my black satin bra. His hands stroked my back as he pressed his lips to my shoulder. I sighed as a shiver ran through me. He pulled back to look at me.

"Are you cold?" he asked me.

"No" I said, my voice all breathy with want.

I kissed him again. His hands were so warm as he rubbed them up and down my back before he started to work on undoing the clasp of my bra. He was struggling a bit, having no experience with taking one off. I giggle and pulled back.

"Allow me" I said as seductively as I could. He dropped his hands to my hips and I reached behind my back to unhook my bra. I let the straps fall down the front of my arms before I pulled it off tossing it to join our shirts on the floor. Ben looked me up and down before bringing his gaze to my face.

"You are so beautiful" he said and kissed me slowly. I pushed my chest into his, my nipples beading at the contact. His hands ran up and down my bare back. I could feel his length, hard beneath me and couldn't help but grind into him. I heard him groan and rolled my hips again. The friction felt so good and I wanted him so bad. I moaned into his mouth as I continued to move against him. I was getting a little frustrated that he wasn't really touching me. Suddenly he reached down and gripped my hips, stopping my movements. I pulled out of the kiss confused by all this hesitation.

"Slow down baby" he said, his voice husky as he looked into my eyes.

"I want you" I said to him, needing him to move things along. He gripped my waist and rolled us back over so he was now on top of me.

"You can feel how bad I want you" he said, rubbing himself against me to prove his point, causing my breath to hitch at the amazing sensation. "But I want this to be good for you" he said.

"So far so good" I said smiling at him.

He smiled back before pressing his lips to mine. The kiss didn't last long as he pulled his lips down along my neck, kissing all the spots I loved. His lips traveled down over my collarbone to the valley between my breasts. He still hadn't really touched me with his hands and the anticipation was building up. He slowly drug his mouth over to my left breast, barely running his tongue across my nipple before he blew air across it.

"Oh" I moaned out, arching into his mouth as the sensation went straight to my core. He sucked my nipple into his mouth then circled it with his tongue. He kissed across my chest to give my other breast the same attention. He trailed his mouth down my torso to the edge of my leggings. He sat back on his heels and gripped the top of my leggings. I lifted my hips has he began to drag them down, then I lifted my legs so he was able to pull them off. He tossed them to the floor then ran his hands along my legs, over my knees and up my thighs and just looked at me. I was now laying in front of him in just a black satin thong. He smiled at me smugly. He leaned over me and kissed my lips gently.

"I love you" he said softly when he pulled away.

"And I love you" I replied.

He leaned back again letting, his hands trail down my body until he reached my panties, hooking his fingers in the top of them and began pulling them down slowly. I knew I was so wet for him and he was doing everything so slowly. I sat up and reached for the button on his jeans. I was just able to undo it when Ben grabbed my hands stopping me. He just smirked at my eagerness.

"Ben I want you. I'm ready" I said feeling needy.

"In due time baby" he said as he pushed me to lay back down.

He moved so that his face was above my center. He swiped his tongue along me and I cried out in pleasure. "You taste amazing" he said nudging his nose against my clit as he plunged his tongue as far in me as he could. I couldn't help but rotate my hips against him, wanting more. He reached his arm around my thigh, placing his hand on my stomach to hold me still. He brought his mouth up and lightly sucked my bundle of nerves.

"Ben" I breathed out. How can he make me feel this good?

He moved the hand that he had on my stomach up to knead my right breast. He pinched my nipple slightly and it sent tingles straight to my core. He pulled his mouth back slightly, blowing air against my most sensitive spot. I felt the fingers of his other hand run through my folds before he pushed them inside me. I reached down and ran my finger through his hair as his warm mouth returned to my clit. I felt like he was stimulating my whole body in the most wonderful way.

"I'm gonna come baby" I said panting, gripping his hair in one hand and the bedding in the other. My hand fell away from his head as he lifted his face to look at me.

"Come baby" he said, his voice so sexy. He curled his fingers just right, hitting that sweet spot inside me and I fell over the edge.

"Ohhhh" I moaned out, my back arching as my orgasm hit me. Ben began to move up my body. Kissing along my hip bone and up my belly. He began to push his jeans and boxers down, his manhood hard with desire, springing free. He pulled his feet free of his jeans and they joined the pile of our clothes on the floor, before he settled over me. I reached my hand for him but he grabbed it and laced our fingers together.

"I need you bad and don't want this to end before it begins" he said. I nodded and he let my hand go. He kissed me lovingly. He let himself rub against me, coating himself in my wetness and reigniting my need for him.

"I want you to tell me if it hurts ok?" he said to me and I just nodded, running my hands up and down his back.

"Just go slow" I said to him.

He reached down and guided himself to my entrance. I gasped as he pushed in slowly.

"Are you ok?" he asked stopping.

"Yes. Keep going" I said. It didn't hurt. It was just a bit of stretching that Evie had mentioned and a really full feeling. I could feel my body yielding to him as he inched in. He pushed all the way in and held still. He leaned down and kissed my lips softly before he pulled away looking at my face.

"Does it hurt?" he asked me.

"No" I said shaking my head. "Move please" I said needing him to do something. He slowly pulled back and pushed back in slowly. I was so wet from my release that he was able to move with ease. When he pushed all the way in he would press into my already sensitive clit and I felt the fire burning inside me once again.

"God baby. You feel so good" he said, before kissing me again. His thrusts began to pick up and so did the pleasure. "You're so tight and warm" he moaned out. "I want to see you" he grunted. He reached down and hooked his hand around the back of my right knee and rolled us to the left until I was on top. He never left me. His hands came to my hips and I gripped his wrists as his darkened eyes took me in, sitting astride him while he was buried inside me. I wasn't sure how to move, so I just rolled my hips against him. Oh god that felt amazing. He moved his hands to cup my ass as I continued my movements against him and was quickly approaching another orgasm.

"Oh god Ben. I'm gonna come again" I said. He sat up and kissed my lips.

"I want to feel you come on me" he said, his hands still on my backside, guiding my movements against him. "Let go Mal. Come all over me" he demanded. He watched my face as my orgasm slammed into me.

"Ohh Ben" I cried out, tilting my head back in pleasure. I could feel myself pulsing around him. It felt amazing. I stopped moving as my body quivered and my toes curled. Waves of ecstasy rolled through my body and I just wanted to feel this way forever. Ben hugged me to him and slowly rolled us back over. I felt him, still hard and wanting, inside me. He kissed my lips again and I reached down and grabbed his ass to encourage him to move. He began to thrust into me once again. I felt him swell inside me.

"I'm gonna come" he breathed.

"Come" I said to him, still panting from my own orgasm. I heard him growl in the back of his throat and he gave two strong thrusts before he stopped and I felt him come inside me.

He kissed me again. The kiss was slow and full of love. He pulled back and just looked at my face, trying to read me. I smiled up at him, reaching my hand up to stroke his face. I suddenly felt like I was falling in love with him all over again. I lifted my head and pecked his lip gently trying not to let the moment overwhelm me.

"I love you so much" I said to him. He smiled the smile he always has when I tell him I love him. Like it was the first time he was hearing it.

"I love you too" he said back.

He began to shift, lifting himself from me. I hummed as he pulled out of me, feeling suddenly empty. He rolled onto his back next to me. I felt cold at the loss of contact, but he reached for me, pulling me to him. I rested my head on his chest and listened to his erratic heartbeat. We didn't say anything. I think we were both trying to wrap our heads around how we were feeling. I shifted my legs and could feel the sticky wetness between them. I lifted my head and looked at him.

"I'm going to run to the bathroom" I told him as I rolled to the side of the bed before sliding off to stand. Oddly enough, it didn't feel weird to walk across the room naked in front of him. I stopped at the bathroom door and turned to look at him. He lay gloriously naked on the bed with one arm thrown over his face. I hoped he didn't think I was regretting what we did.

"Ben" I called to him. He moved his arm and lifted his head to look at me. "I left a washcloth on the bedside table" I told him. I knew we would have to clean up so, I thought it was a good idea to have it. I pointed at the bowl that I had placed there with hot water and a washcloth, though it was probably cold by now. I gave him a wink before stepping into the bathroom.

I cleaned up the best I could without actually getting a shower. I found myself rushing to get back to Ben. I knew what Belle meant when she said she felt closer to Adam. I was feeling the same way. I looked at myself in the mirror to see if I somehow looked different. I still looked the same to me, but I felt different. I smiled at my reflection. I just felt so happy.

I stepped back out of the bathroom and looked over at the bed. He hadn't noticed me yet. He seemed deep in thought. I just stood there for a moment and stared at him. He had pushed the bedspread to the foot of the bed and was laying on his back with the sheets pulled up to his waist. He had his hands behind his head and was staring at the ceiling.

He was so beautiful and he was mine. I felt joy bubble up inside me as I realized that I had a part of him that no one else will ever have. I thought about him hovering over me, making love to me. I felt my nipples harden and I bit my bottom lip. I wanted him again already. I really am going to have to learn to control myself now.

"Hey" I heard him say pulling me out of my daydream. He was now sitting up looking at me with a grin on his face. "What are you thinking about?" he asked.

"You" I said smiling at him as I walked back over to the bed. He pulled the sheets back inviting me in. We laid down and I snuggled into his warm body as he covered us with the sheet.

"How do you feel?" he asked me as his hand stroked up and down my back.

"Mmmh, I feel perfect" I said letting my hand trace circles on his chest. "How do you feel?" I asked him.

"Happy" he said simply.

"Me too" I said.

"How was it for you?" he asked looking down at me. I looked up at him thinking about how I should answer. I turned and propped myself up on his chest, leaning my chin on my arms.

"Emotionally or physically?" I asked.

"Both" he said, reaching up and running his fingers through my hair.

"It was so much better than I was expecting" I said with a grin.

"Why? Were you expecting it to be bad?" he asked, looking a little concerned.

"No, but it's not uncommon for it to not be as good for the girl as it is for the guy the first time" I said to him. "I read that most girls don't have an orgasm the first time."

"Yeah, I think I read about that too. That's why I wanted to make sure you felt good before we started. I was surprised that you came again" he said with a smug smile. "God I feel like a king!" he exclaimed with a chuckle, making me laugh.

"You are a king" I said grinning at him.

"You know what I mean. It's like if I can make you feel like that, I feel like I could do anything" he said smiling at me lovingly.

"Well Your Majesty, you will be happy to know that it was the best orgasm I have ever had" I told him.

"Is that so?" he asked happily.

"Yes. It was so intense. It was the best feeling I have ever had" I said to him.

"So how do you feel emotionally?" he asked me.

"I had a moment where I felt like I was falling in love with you all over again. Like I could never love anyone as much as I love you. I feel closer to you somehow and I feel unbelievably happy that you are mine and I am yours and no one else will ever get to have that part of us" I said softly. He cupped my face and pulled my lips to his, kissing me softly. He pulled away and ran his thumb along my bottom lip.

"I feel the same way" he said. A smile slowly spread across his face. "That was the best Christmas present I have ever gotten."

"Oh yeah? Even better than the Robo Raptor?" I asked teasing him.

"Most definitely!" he said with a chuckle. We fell into a comfortable silence just staring at each other. "So do you want to go out?" he asked me breaking the silence.

"Not really. I brought snacks but we can just order take out and watch a movie or something, if that's alright with you" I suggested.

"Sounds good to me" he said.

We ordered some take out to be delivered so we were going to have to put clothes back on. Ben slid into a pair of blue plaid sleep pants and a tee shirt and I just put my robe on. He looked me up and down in my silk robe.

"I will get the door when the food comes" he said. "There is no way I want anyone seeing you like that" he flirted and I giggled. It was going to be a while before our food arrived so we found a movie to watch and snuggled together. When our food finally arrived we sat and ate at the table in his room.

"Did you tell my mom your plans?" he asked me. I was a little surprised by his question.

"Not exactly. Why?" I asked.

"It's just that she told me she would understand if I didn't come home tonight. I thought that maybe you had said something to her" he told me.

"I just told her that I wanted to give you an early Christmas present and I was planning a scavenger hunt. It's not like I could tell her that I was planning on having sex with you" I said, taking the last bite of my fried rice.

"Well I think she may have figured it out" he said. I don't know how she would have. I've heard of mother's intuition before, could that be it I thought.

"If so I hope we aren't in for another sex talk, but I guess we are beyond that now" I said sending him a smirk. Just then my phone buzzed with a text message. I summoned it to me from the bedside table and heard Ben chuckle. I just looked up at him and smiled.

"It's Evie just checking in" I told him after I read the text message.

"So does Evie know?" he asked me.

"Yes. She kinda gave me the idea to use your dorm when I was getting frustrated that we were constantly being interrupted" I said putting my phone down, deciding I will text her back later.

"Just how long had you been planning this?" he inquired.

"Awhile" I said smiling.

"So is that why you wanted to know if Audrey and I spent time together here?" he asked.

"Yes. There was no way we were going to make love in a place that had any kind of meaning to her" I said matter-of-factly.

"Don't worry. We never spent any time together in any room that had a bed in it, so you may feel free to seduce me anywhere" he said to me.

"Hey, I'm open to doing it in places that don't have beds" I flirted.

"Listen to you! We've only had sex once and already you want to be adventurous" he teased. I shrugged my shoulders as I stood to throw away our trash.

"I just think I may have a hard time resisting you when we are alone…. no matter where we are" I said, running my hand across the back of his shoulders as I walked back by him, heading back to my chair. He quickly reached up and grabbed my hand pulling me around his chair and down until I was straddling his lap.

"Let's test this no bed thing" he said seductively, as he pushed one hand in my hair and pulled my mouth to his. I felt his tongue seek entrance and I opened my mouth to him. His other hand moved up my thigh and around my waist pulling me more firmly into him. I could feel him growing hard beneath me. I instinctively rolled my hips against him and we both moaned out at the sensation. He pulled his lips from mine, letting them trail down the side of my neck.

"Mmmmh I can feel your heat through my pants" he said in a husky voice. I couldn't help but to grind into him again. How does he make me feel like this? His hands moved in between us and he pulled the sash of my robe, untying it and letting it fall open. I let it slip off my shoulders to the floor. My nipples were already hard and begging for his attention. He sucked my left nipple into his mouth swirling his tongue around it.

"Ahh" I cried out in pleasure when he nipped it gently giving it a tug before releasing it, his hand pinching and teasing my other nipple. His hand drifted down my torso to my center where he ran his fingers through my slick heat.

"Your so wet for me already" he said before sticking his fingers in his mouth. I don't know why I found that such a turn on. I leaned in to kiss him, cupping the side of his face.

"I want you" I said simply when I pulled away. He nodded his head and put his hands on my waist as if to lift me up, which cued me lift up on my feet as he shimmied his pants down freeing himself between us. I lowered back down and gripped him in my hand stroking softly. I felt him harden further as a bead of precome leaked from him. I looked at his face as I swiped my finger over him, collecting it, then putting my finger in my mouth. I heard him groan and thought that it must have the same affect on him watching me do it as it has on me.

"I need you" he said. I leaned forward and lifted my hips as he reached down and guided himself to my entrance. I slowly lowered myself onto him. The sensation was different than the first time. The full feeling felt so good this time. "God you feel so good" he moaned out. I used my feet on the floor to raise and lower myself on him in a slow rhythm. I could feel my orgasm building up this time, like a slow burn. I leaned back wanting to see our bodies connecting. I place one hand behind me on his knee and he gripped my hips guiding me to roll against him. The change in position changed everything.

"Ohhhh, mmmmhhh" I moaned out putting my other hand on his other knee. Leaning back like this had him rubbing that perfect spot inside me. I felt his hands drag up my body over my breasts and back down. His fingers leaving a trail of fire in their path. I knew I was going to come and soon. "Oh yeah" I breathed out, nearly there.

"You're gonna make me come baby" Ben panted. I could feel his muscles tense under my hands.

"I'm coming" I cried out as my orgasm hit me like a tidal wave. I continued to move dragging it out.

"Yes baby" Ben moaned out and I felt him come inside me. I rode out our pleasure until he reached down and gripped my waist to stop me and I slumped into him, resting my head on his shoulder. I turned my head and pressed my lips to his neck, tasting the saltiness of his skin.

"That was amazing" he said running his hands up and down my bare back. I sat up and looked at him, smiling.

"It was" I replied. I felt him softening and beginning to slip. "I need to go clean up again" I said. I stood up and felt some come run down my inner thigh as he slipped from me entirely.

"Damn that's hot" Ben said and I couldn't help but giggle.

"I'm going to jump in the shower" I said heading into the bathroom, my legs feeling weak.

Ben's POV

I sat in the chair for a few minutes, trying to compose myself before I stood to grab the washcloth. I rinsed it in the cool water in the bowl and cleaned up. I would get in the shower when Mal finished. For a moment I thought about joining her in the shower, but decided against it. I didn't want this new development in our relationship to overwhelm her. I slipped my pants back on and began picking up all our clothes.

My head went right back to us making love. It was perfect. It seemed like we were made to be together like that. She was eager and willing. I loved that I could make her feel just as amazing as she made me feel. I want to spend the rest of my life making her feel like that. How was I going to be able to keep my hands off her now?

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" I heard Mal say. I looked up and saw her coming out of the bathroom in just a towel.

"You" I said smiling at how the roles had reversed. She walked over to where her bag sat on the dresser and pulled out my old tourney shirt and some panties.

"There is still hot water if you want to take a shower" she said, pulling the towel out of her hair to dry it. I stepped over to the dresser and opened one of the top drawers, grabbing some boxer briefs. I leaned down and pecked her lips and grinned at her but said nothing before I headed into the bathroom to take a shower.

When I came out of the bathroom after my shower, I found Mal curled up in bed, fast asleep. I smiled thinking about how our activities must have worn her out. I felt pretty tired myself. I mean I had to run all over the place hunting clues today.

I walked over to my jacket and pulled my phone out. I was grateful that no one called the whole time we had been here. The last thing we needed was another interruption after all Mal's planning. I set my phone down on the bedside table and plugged it in before turning off the lights and climbing into bed with her. I rolled over on my side and pulled Mal back into me. She snuggled back into me grabbing the hand that I had wrapped around her waist and bought it up to her chest.

"I love you Ben" she murmured sleepily.

"I love you too" I said back, breathing in the fresh smell of her. The last thought I had before drifting off to sleep was how perfect this day turned out to be. How perfect she was and how perfect it felt to be curled up with her like this. Life was perfect.

I hope that was to everyone's satisfaction. Now the issue for me will be not making every chapter smutty lol.

Reviews are love!
