Ben sat on the edge of his bed with his head in his hands completely overcome with worry. There were so many 'what if's and possible problems that could happen to the group while they are on the isle. It was getting pretty late and Ben was already wearing just some pajama pants and keeping an eye on his phone for confirmation that everything was okay. The knock at his bedroom door made him jump. Before he could even tell them to come in or get up to let them in Carlos let himself in closing the door behind him. Ben let out a sigh of relief and opened his arms to him. Slowly, he crossed the room and buried himself into Ben's warm embrace. He loved Ben's hugs and when he would hold him. They were always so warm and comforting, but now it came with a small pang of guilt. Jay kissing him was small and insignificant in the long run, but he knew Ben needed to know, needed to know his ex-boyfriend had touched him, kissed him, in a way that he wasn't supposed to anymore.
"Ben…" Carlos started but he felt his nerves create a lump in his throat blocking him from saying more. Ben just pulled him closer and rocked him a bit.
"It's okay Carlos, you can talk to me about anything. I promise. What happened?" Sensing something was wrong the worry that had ebbed when Carlos came in was now flowing back, flooding his mind. So many things could go wrong while he was on the isle. Worst of all being anything to do with Harry Hook.
"We searched the whole Isle and couldn't find Jay. When we were checking the hideout Lonnie got jumped by hook and some wharf rats but she defended herself just fine. We ended up taking Harry Hook, hostage. I hurt him… hurt him to get information. We traded hook for Jay because Uma had him… when we were cleaning up Jay's wounds. He… he kissed me, Ben." Carlos felt his voice quiver a bit and his nerves were completely shot. He didn't want this to cause problems. Ben's jaw clenched and his grip on Carlos loosened a bit to look him in the eyes. There was a little bit of anger mixed into a whole lot of hurt and worry, mostly worry.
"Okay…" He started tensely, "Did you kiss him back? What are you trying to tell me, Carlos?" His words just as measured and tense as his muscles. His whole body felt tense beneath him and Carlos could already feel the guilt bubbling up inside him.
"No, I gently pushed him off of me. I'm just telling you it happened because I don't intend to keep secrets from me. As my boyfriend, you deserve to know if something like that happens. Jay must have thought that kissing me would reignite our relationship somehow, but it didn't. It doesn't feel as good or as right with anyone but you." Carlos looks at him as his words seem to work as a balm for him tension as he slowly relaxes pulling his embrace around him tight again.
"Okay. Thank you for telling me Pup." Ben still sounded a little upset by the whole ordeal and it was to be expected. Finding out your boyfriend had been kissed by his ex-boyfriend doesn't exactly put one in a good mood. Carlos leaned forward, letting his nose gently brush up against Ben's before kissing him gently and lovingly. Ben didn't hesitate to kiss back, he drew Carlos in by the waist and deepened their kiss into something more passionate and intense. When their lips parted and the kiss was broken, they both were left breathless, they sat there for a long moment just breathing the same air and looking into each other's eyes. Carlos captured his lips again this time more like a promise, a promise that everything was okay and that he loved him. Ben sealed that promise with his kiss reaffirming to him that everything was going to be okay.
"Wanna spend the night again?" Ben breathed against Carlos' lips and he let out a small laugh brushing their noses together affectionately.
"I thought you would never ask." Carlos teased as he felt Ben slip his hands under his shirt and slide it off for him. He grabbed ahold of the waistband of his shorts and gave a commanding tug, clearly wanting them off.
Carlos chuckled and helped Ben undo his shorts and slide them off. He kicked his boots off and was hoisted onto the bed, Ben crawling on top of him. Carlos smirked and slid his hands up into Ben's hair giving it a bit of a tug making him groan a bit. "Wanting me to beg again?" He continued to tease and Ben shook his head starting by kissing him on the lips before migrating to his neck, starting to leave a really big hickey. The bruise wanted to form almost instantly and the spot he chose made his body throb with his own heartbeat sending little waves of pleasure through him. Ben went to each of Carlos' sensitive spots and left big love bites all over him. From behind his ear, to his hip, and down to his thighs. He left making love bite bruises along his inner thighs. The whole process left Carlos buzzing, his body fully relaxed except for one place that was craving Ben's undivided attention. Ben smirked up at Carlos who let out a ragged breath.
"Do you know what I'm doing?" Ben teased as he playfully rubbed a hand over Carlos' tented boxers. Carlos moaned and shook his head, hips thrusting for more friction. "Marking my territory," Ben smirked sliding off his boxers and leaving one last hickey just above his groin before taking Carlos into his mouth and sealing it all. Carlos was so worked up by Ben's lips journey across his body that it didn't take long for that heat and tension that began to pool behind his navel to release. Ben cleaned up the mess and slid up to pull Carlos into one last very heated loving kiss.
"Now if anyone can see that you're taken. All mine." Ben chuckled and snuggled his face up into Carlos' neck laying down next to him. Carlos panted softly and smiled.
"Good. I want everyone to know that we belong to each other." Carlos crawled on top of Ben, leaving Hickies on him as well. Marking him as Carlos' territory. Ben's need was taken care of just as quickly once he was properly marked. The two curled up, entwining themselves together and falling asleep beneath the covers.
