"Hey!" I cooed slowly after Ben had finished telling me about his dream. "Hey!" I repeated as I held him close and slightly rocked him in a bid to console him. Halfway through explaining his dream he burst out crying, I hated seeing Ben cry. He was normally so carefree and happy and it broke me seeing him upset and distraught like this.

As I continued to console my still crying husband I thought about what he had just told me; Bobby and his so-called 'gang' held Ben as Bobby threw me down, causing a head injury. He also kicked me in the stomach as I lay unconscious; both factors were something that I never wanted to happen. And now that Ben was now home from hospital security had been increased; and to be honest I didn't think either me or Ben was going to be comfortable unless we knew where the other one was - which suited me just fine. After what had just happened I had even more problems leaving Ben that I usually did - given the last time I had left Ben, he had been taken away from me.

"Everything's ok" I told him, but I couldn't help but note that it reassured me slightly as well. "We are both safe" I added smoothly as I began to run the fingers of my right hand through his hair. "You're safe," I continued. "Nothing or no one is ever going to hurt the three of us ever again" I finished calmly; I then watched as he pulled away and looked up at me - with the concern and panic starting to slowly leave him.

"Yeah" he muttered as he snuggled back into me but he kept his face looking up at me. "I'm going to make sure of that," he told me.

"I believe you" I answered; and I watched as he meekly smiled up at me. I hated seeing Ben like this; and I would do anything to try and make him feel better. Ben was usually such a happy and carefree person; and to see him like this really unsettled me. "What can I do to make you feel better?" I offered.

"I think you know what I need you to do," he replied. "I need you to take this all away from me" he told me. "Please?" he begged as his gaze locked with mine.

"Of course" I stated as I winked at him before I pulled away from him. I watched as he threw a confused look at me; but I couldn't help but grin when I watched as a smirk started to spread across his face as I threw the covers back. I never could get enough of Ben; and yes it might be a self gratifying thought but I loved the fact that I was going to be the only woman who was ever going to be intimate with Ben. "Husband" I winked at him as I quickly straddled him; and I watched as his eyes open slightly in shock at this for a few seconds.

"Yes wife?" he replied as he slowly slid both of his hands on both of my hips.

"Just to keep you in the know-" I began as I felt his thumbs start to slowly trace circular patterns on my hips. "Even though I know you probably will already know" I stated.

"Yes?" he answered.

"I need you just as much as you need me" I told him very smugly. "So this is something that I am very happy to do" I admitted; and I couldn't stop a giggle escape from my lips when I heard Ben start to purr underneath me as he continued his actions against my hips. Not wanting to waste another second I then lowered myself down and me and Ben wrapped our arms around each other as my lips gravitated towards his neck and I began to lace it with slow, long and tantalising kisses. Every time that I deepened the kiss against the warm flesh on either side of his neck I was rewarded with a loud groan or gasp; which only caused me to smile against his skin.

After doing this for a few minutes I allowed my eyes to look up at him; and I watched as he continued to take deep breaths underneath me to try and steady himself. By the looks of it it wasn't working; given the fact that he kept throwing his head back against his pillow and moaning and groaning loudly. This only made the smile on my lips even bigger; being in control of Ben's pleasure like this was so empowering. I loved that every kiss and touch caused such a profound reaction from him; that I wanted to keep doing it. Keep going until he cried out my name as he found his release; however as a knot continued to form in my stomach I decided to move things on a little bit.

I then slowly started to make my way down his neck and onto his chest; I loved how me and Ben knew how to read each other's bodies. We knew what we liked and what we needed; I still couldn't get over how easy it was to be with Ben like this. It was as easy as breathing, which only showed me even more that it was always meant to be me and Ben.

After I had been teasing him like this for a few minutes I then dragged my lips away from his skin; and I smugly looked up at him as I cupped the right hand side of his face with my left hand side. I watched as his eyes slowly opened for a few seconds; I grinned at him before I roughly claimed his lips with mine. I sighed against his lips as he automatically responded to the kiss; and he quickly slid his tongue against mine and they began to fight dominance.

We continued to make out like this a little while longer; however the need to satisfy my husband was becoming too much to control so I quickly pulled my lips away from his. I then watched as his eyes slowly opened once more and I grinned at the loving look that he was now giving me. Not taking my eyes from him I slowly started to run my hands down his chest, stomach and finally onto his groin, and then slid down so I was now rested in between his legs.

Thankfully we were both already naked from making love before we fell asleep which meant that there wasn't the barrier of clothing in the way; so with this thought in mind I quickly smirked at him as I took his hardening member into both of my hands.

"Oh!" he gasped.

"I think someone wants to play" I flirted as another large grin spread across my face.

"With you, always my love" he purred at me as I started to slowly stroke him. I continued my slow actions against him until he was fully erect in my hands; and as I did this I couldn't help but relish in watching him react to me like this. I started to feel real playful and I wanted to tease him even more so I slowly lowered my head down and I watched as his eyes opened slowly and he looked down at me. I then winked at him before I quickly licked from the bottom of his member to the top; which caused him to jump slightly in reaction as a loud moan escaped from his mouth. I used this as my cue to clasp my lips around his member before I started to bob up and down against him as I used my hands to work against the bottom of his shaft. I then began to use my tongue around the tip of his member and I couldn't help but smile against him when I heard him moan my name loudly.

"Mal!" he moaned again after I had been continuing my actions against him for a few moments. I then used this as my hint to pull away and smirk at him.

"Ben" I purred; and I watched as his eyes rolled open and he looked up at me. "Ready for more?" I teased as I continued to use my hands against him.

"Yes!" he exclaimed. "Please!" he begged and I nodded at this. So with this being said I then pulled my hands away from him and I climbed back on top of him and straddled him. I then guided himself to me; and when our eyes locked with each other's I then pushed down and we both moaned as he entered me. I then rocked myself against him slowly as I decided to ride him slowly; Ben needed me to take his nightmare away from him and I thought this was the best thing to do. I wanted to take this all away from him; and I made a promise that I would do everything and anything to ensure this.

After slowly riding him for a few minutes Ben then quickly rolled up both over and he started to slowly thrust himself against me; as he continued his slow and deep thrusts against me I tightened my arms and legs around him. I gave myself over to Ben; I loved making love with Ben. Every movement, kiss and touch set my skin on fire and I couldn't help note that I had never had this with anyone else, no one else was able to satisfy me the way Ben could. And I didn't want to be with anyone else now that I had been reunited with my one true love.

I didn't know how long it took for me and Ben to be assaulted by our releases; but after we had succumbed to them Ben collapsed on top of me as we both tried to regulate our breathing. I tightened my arms around him as I dropped my legs onto the bed and I snuggled my head into his as his snuggled himself into me. I couldn't stop a tired smile spread across my face as my eyes began to roll into sleep as Ben pressed a kiss against the top of my head. As I snuggled my head into Ben's once more a thought then came to me, I was so glad that I was able to be there for Ben, and I always would be - no matter what.
