Miranda walked slowly down the hallway of Seattle Grace strutting her stuff because she was back. She had been back for almost four months but Richard had her shadowing him because she had been out of practice and he was still watching her like she was going to break. But she was finally feeling like her old self but better and that made her feel great. Miranda was brought out of her thoughts by the loud whispering of her new residents.

"Do you all have something you would like to say?" Miranda asked sternly as she turned on her heels swiftly.

The residents stopped suddenly and stared at her in fear before one of them spoke, "We were just wondering which one of us would get to scrub into your surgery," the resident rattled off quickly.

"Whoever is able to diagnose why the patient is in need of surgery correctly will get the opportunity," Miranda informed before giving them instructions on what to do for her patients.

Miranda walked into Richard's office, "Ready for your first solo surgery," he said while still looking at the documents in front of him.

Miranda shrugged nonchalantly, "this isn't my first solo surgery, it's just the first one you're letting me do alone since I've come back to work," Miranda said.

"So why are you in here instead of prepping for surgery," Richard said calmly.

"Maybe I'm a little nervous but I'm still confident in my abilities," Miranda declared.

"Yes and you will do great," Richard told her.

Miranda went into surgery and said a prayer before beginning like she always did, when she looked over at the anesthesiologist, it was Ben smiling from ear to ear under his mask and he winked at her. She smiled and continued with her surgery then she let her resident close. As Miranda walked out of the O.R feeling exhilarated because the surgery was successful, she was stopped by one of the new doctors from the merger.

"Dr. Bailey, that was an impressive surgery," Dr. Brady complimented.

"Well thank you, I appreciate the compliment," Miranda said as she started to walk away.

"Maybe we can go for a drink and dinner tonight if you have time," he asked.

Miranda stopped and looked at the caramel skinned man. He was short but still taller than her with broad shoulders that showed he worked out. Miranda wasn't looking for a relationship and to be honest she felt like she was in one with Ben though they said they weren't. Dr. Brady was handsome but not her type but if it was just dinner and conversation she didn't mind.

"Sure I get off at 7pm and I'll meet you over at Joe's," Miranda replied.

"Great, and maybe we can do a surgery together sometime," Dr. Brady said.

Ben came out of the O.R looking for Miranda because he had a surprise for her when she went home, but he just wanted to congratulate her first solo surgery after being gone for months before he had to go into his next surgery. He looked down the hallway and saw his colleague Dr. Malik Brady talking and smiling at Miranda. He knew what that was because he'd seen him do it plenty of times with other doctors and nurses, he was just trying to get laid.

He felt himself getting upset and jealous at the sight of another man talking to Miranda. In that moment he knew that his love for her was much more than platonic. Hell, he'd known it all along but he was just afraid. Plus they lived more like husband and wife than they did roommates, the only thing they didn't do was have sex.

Ben walked over to Miranda and Malik, "Good afternoon," Ben said interrupting their short conversation.

"Hey Ben," Miranda said enthusiastically making Ben smile and he intentionally kissed her cheek then looking nonchalantly at Malik.

"Dr. Warren," Dr. Brady said as his eyes widened at what Ben just did.

Miranda blushed because she noticed Dr. Brady's reaction to what Ben had just did.

"I was just asking Dr. Bailey out for drinks and dinner after work," Dr. Brady announced as he grinned at Miranda.

"Awww Dr. Bailey I have a surprise for you later at home remember ," Ben said trying to act disappointed.

"A surprise….oh yeah the surprise, I totally forgot," Miranda said excitedly going with what Ben was doing.

"A surprise….at home?" Dr. Brady said confused.

"Yeah, we're roommates," they said in unison.

"And she's mine— I mean my best friend," Ben said raising his eyebrow a little.

"Dr. Brady you don't mind if I do a rain check? Maybe all three of us can do drinks and dinner later in the week Miranda said as she touched Ben's arm and Malik noticed.

"Okay, sure," Dr. Brady said slowly as he walked away and Ben smirked.

Miranda finished her day at work but didn't see Ben for the rest of the day but hurried home because she and Ben got off work around the same time and she wanted to see what the surprise was that he had for her.

"Ben," she dragged out slowly as she admired and smelled the flowers sitting on the kitchen counter.

Ben came out of his room with his eyes smiling even though his mouth wasn't as he watched Miranda admire the bouquet.

"Whose flowers are these? Do you have some woman admirer that sent you these?" Miranda questioned playfully.

Ben chuckled and shook his head, "No, they're for the woman in my life—"

"You have a woman in your life and you didn't tell me? Well she does know that your roommate and best friend is a woman," Miranda said interrupting him.

He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around to look into her face. "Miranda you are the woman in my life and these are for your first day back "back" at work," Ben said using air punctuations.

Miranda gasped and turned back around looking at the flowers and she began to tear up. "Why would you do this, now I'm getting emotional. You really gave me just because flowers?" Miranda questioned.

When she turned back around Ben was holding a jewelry box open with a beautiful, dainty charm bracelet in it. Miranda gasped and picked the charm bracelet up and looked at all the charms on it. There was a stethoscope, a ten blade, a heart and then the letters B, M and T fused together.

"Ben all of this for me, I don't understand," Miranda cried softly.

"I got this for you a couple of weeks ago when you told me that Richard was finally going to let you stop shadowing him and I know you were so excited about it," Ben said as he put it on her wrist.

Miranda looked up at him as he put the bracelet on her wrist and she instantly felt that she couldn't contain herself. He listened and cared about the things that mattered to her, so once he finished put the bracelet on her wrist she reached up and pulled him down to her kissing his lips gently but with passion. Ben eyes closed and he let out a sigh of relief as his body relaxed into the kiss as he held her waist.

Miranda pushed his chest to break their kiss, "Oh Ben I'm so sorry, I guess I'm overwhelmed by the gifts that I felt like kissing you," Miranda said trying to catch her breath.

Ben gave her this unreadable look and she was afraid she'd done too much when he picked her up by her waist and kissed her hungrily, sucking on her bottom lip. Miranda moaned as Ben carried her into his bedroom and laid her down on the bed as he continued to feast on her lips giving her the best kiss she'd ever had.

Ben took her hands from around his neck and placed them against the bed as he intertwined their fingers. Ben placed all of his weight onto her making her spread her legs letting her feel how hard he was for her. Miranda began thrusting her hips to feel his hard organ and she began pulling at his pants.

"Miranda….Miranda wait, not like this. I don't want to make love to you like this, I want to do something more romantic and unforgettable," Ben expressed still holding their intertwined hands above her head.

"Ben this is romantic enough and I don't need all that other stuff, just us together expressing how we truly feel is enough for me," Miranda said kissing him and then licking his lips making him moan and thrust his hips into her.

"But I want to give you all of the other stuff just because you deserve it and I want it to be special, I want our first time together be to filled with romance and special moments," Ben said in between placing kisses on her lips, face and neck.

"Well you kissing me is not helping me want to wait," Miranda said softly as she moaned.

Miranda held Ben's face and looked at him, "Benjamin Warren I love you and I want you….right now," she said before kissing his lips lovingly.

"Okay let's make a compromise, take off your clothes but keep your panties on," Ben said in a sexy, deep voice that made Miranda feel so aroused that she could burst.

Miranda quickly slid out of the skirt and blouse she was in and Ben got up off the bed and quickly pulled off his shirt revealing his muscular chest and Miranda's breath hitched. She had seen his chest before but it was different this time because she wanted him sexually.

He slowly pulled down his pants to reveal the boxer briefs he was wearing and his manhood was painfully bulging out trying to find an escape. Miranda wasn't sure what they were about to do that was a compromise from having sex, "The ultimate foreplay, everything but penetration," Ben said interrupting and answering her thought.

Ben got back onto the bed and hovered over Miranda as she held him by his waist. His breathing became heavy as he took in her body. Her breast were large and full, smooth but faint stretch marks on her fleshy belly and hips that hid the beautifully plump booty she was laying on.

Ben stared into her eyes and kissed her lips softly before grasping her bottom lip and sucking on it. Ben kissed all the way down her neck and stopped at her breast. He looked up at her as he sucked her left nipple into his mouth and gently rolled the other one in between his finger tip making her gasp in pleasure and arch her back. After a minute he alternated to her right nipple and Miranda moaned loudly and rolled her hips feeling wetness soaking the seat of her panties. She felt pressure building as he continued to suck and play with her nipples and within seconds she was cumming.

"BEN OH MY GOD," Miranda yelled as Ben continued to to suck on her breast igniting an orgasm that Miranda never knew existed and without her vagina even being touched.

"Ahhhhhhh, oh my God BENJAMIN!" Miranda squealed.

Miranda swiftly grabbed Ben by his face and kissed his lips ravenously and she wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer so that she could feel his hard on. Ben groaned as he felt Miranda thrusting her hips upward to rub against him.

Ben moved to the side a little as they kissed and they moaned together when he touched her wet panty covered center. Ben rubbed her clit gently but putting firm pressure on it and Miranda continued to thrust her hips to increase the pleasure. Ben was loving the faces she was making and it was building up his orgasm just watching and being in control of pleasuring her. Miranda didn't want to miss out on the fun so she boldly reach down and grabbed his boxers.

"Uhhh shit Miranda, mhmmmm," Ben said as he moaned.

He moved out of her grasp and and she whimpered in disappointment because she wanted to touch him and make him feel how he was feeling. Ben moved down between her legs and gently blew on her wet center making her moan. He did a few more time until Miranda was aggressively thrusting her vagina in his face wanting his lips on her which made him laugh.

"It's not funny Ben I want need you to touch me and stop teasing me," Miranda whined.

And with that statement from Miranda, Ben moved her panties to the side and stuck his tongue between her folds and sucked on her clit. Miranda arched her back and let a loud moan that encouraged Ben to keep going. Miranda had never known how good this could feel because her ex husband didn't like giving it but wanted to receive so they just agreed to not do it.

Miranda gripped the bed sheets as she took in this pleasure. The way his tongue maneuvered over her clit and the way he thrusted his tongue inside of her felt like it was being done with so much love and need almost that it was bringing her to tears. Without warning Miranda was cumming and she gasped and shut her thighs around Ben's head but he kept sucking and licking as he opened her thighs and held them tight.

Miranda's moans were like music to Ben's ears and he groaned as he felt his penis jumping and then he came in his boxers. "Gosh Miranda, eating you out made me cum and I've never done that before," Ben told her.

Ben and Miranda laid there staring in each other's eyes and kissing each other with so much need, love and lust as she stroked his dick and he rubbed her clit. Looking in the face of this handsome man and the feeling of him touching her body in a way that she didn't know was possible was enough to make her explode and she did. Miranda came all over Ben's hand and the sheer force at which she came made her lean in and bite Ben's shoulder.

"Ahhh Miranda," Ben yelled out before biting into her cheek making her laugh as she sucked the area she bit.

"Gosh that feels so good," Miranda said as she sped up the pace that she was stroking Ben and he quickly came on her thigh.

Ben closed his eyes as he was coming but when he opened them back up Miranda knew that she was in love with him and she could tell he felt the same way. And just as if he was reading her thoughts, "I am so in love with you Miranda and I can't hide it anymore. Honestly the thought of being in love and giving my all to someone again scares me but I want to do it with you," Ben professed.

I feel the same way Ben but I love you and I don't want to miss the opportunity to show you how much I do," Miranda shared.

"Well let's just love each other for as long as time will allow," Ben said as he hugged her.
