After making love slowly to one another me and Ben then talked about everything; and we both came away from the conversation in a better place. I now understood more about how Ben was actually feeling about what we both were currently going through. Yes I hated how this situation had panned out for the pair of us but in a way I knew that it had to happen for us to get to this point. I needed to know how much this situation was pushing Ben to his breaking point; so I could try and get him through this so we could support each other through this - as neither of us want to hear the word 'divorce' ever again!

We then decided that we needed to check in with each other more; yes we talked a lot but we wanted to set time aside to solely talk about what we were currently going through. Of course I didn't want me and Ben to keep reliving the trauma that he was going through but we were going to have to go to a certain level to be able to make sure that we weren't going to go back to what happened this morning.


"I'll just go and run us a bath" I advised with a smile after we had finished our conversation as I threw our bed covers back.

"I'll look forward to it" I heard him say as I climbed out of bed and I stood up. "Hmmm" I heard him purr and when I turned my head to look at him I saw his eyes slowly roam over my naked body.

"You need to stop perving on me-" I began as I started to feel playful. "My husband will not like it," I said mock seriously.

"You just leave him to me" he dismissed with a playful glance as his eyes went up to my face.

"I see," I noted. "Just don't fight too hard over me" I winked at him with a smug smile.

"Behave wife" he laughed.

"Or else what?" I sang teasingly.

"You'll see when I come in there" he winked at me before he smirked at me.

"Whatever!" I chuckled as I started to make my way towards our large and modern en-suite bathroom. Before I left I looked back over to our bed to see Ben watching me with a very loving and happy look on his face; I smiled at him before I walked into the bathroom making a mental note to myself - yes we had some work still to do, but at least we were taking these very important steps together.


"Ben!" I called after I had climbed in the very large white marble bath after tying my hair up in a loose bun on the top of my head.

"Aha!" I heard him answer as I lay down and lay my back on the right hand side of the bath that was up at a diagonal angle just like the other side of the bath where Ben would be in a few moments.

"Bath's ready!" I advised as I sighed as I started to enjoy the hot water against my skin.

"Ok!" I heard him say before I heard movement which told me that he was now making his way across our bedroom before he entered the bathroom. "Hey!" he exclaimed as his eyes landed on me. "You're already in!" he accused as he stood at the side of the bath.

"I know" I giggled. "Plenty of bubbles" I teased as I put some of them in my hands and I blew them at him.

"I can see" he grinned as he climbed into the bath. I then watched as he lay down on the left hand side of the bath which meant there was enough room for the both of us, as both of our legs were laid next to each other. "This is nice" he sighed as he also settled in the hot water.

"Yeah" I sighed again as I put my head back and closed my eyes.

"Mal-" I heard him say.

"Aha?" I answered as I lifted my head up as I slowly looked up at him.

"You look hot with your hair like that" he flirted.

"Ben please?" I giggled.

"Pass your feet here!" He flirted as a lustful look entered his eyes.

"Why?" I flirted back.

"Just do it" he laughed; and I nodded as I lifted both of my feet up and I placed them against the top of his legs. I moaned as I felt Ben's hands slowly slide onto either side of my feet before he started massaging my feet slowly.

"Oh!" I moaned. "That's so-" I groaned. "Good!" I exclaimed, causing Ben to chuckle at me. "You are so good with your hands!" I purred.

"You tell me that all the time" he chuckled. "But you have trained me very well" he advised and I couldn't help but laugh at this.

"I have trained you how to-" I started but stopped when another groan escaped my lips. "Pleasure me" I advised smugly.

"Well you are the only woman that I would ever want to give pleasure to" he smirked.

"That's-" I began again. "Nice" I muttered as shivers started to run up and down my spine. "To know" I advised as I continued to enjoy what he was doing to my feet. "As I feel the same" I told him as I made sure my left foot brushed past his member and I grinned as I noted that it was starting to harden. "It would appear that my husband wants me" I sang cheerily. "Again!" I exclaimed.

"Can you blame me?" he questioned incredulously. "When my wife is such an attractive woman" he purred as I continued to watch his eyes darken with lust, causing me to smile at this. "Come here!" he demanded and I felt a knot of lust constrict in the pit of my stomach. I then pulled my feet away from him before slowly climbing onto my knees before I crawled over to him and I straddled him. It didn't take very long before our lips feisty crushed together as our hands started to roam over each other. I didn't know how long me and Ben were making out before I felt Ben's left hand capture my right breast but as I felt a wave of pleasure engulf my body I pulled my lips away and groaned.

"Oh Ben!" I exclaimed as my hands flew into his hair as his lips found my left breast. "Keep doing that! I begged and I sighed in disappointment when he pulled away and he smirked up at me.

"As you wish" he teased as I felt his member brush against me before he returned his lips and hands back against my breasts.

Minutes ticked by as me and Ben continued to move our bodies against each other's as tension, lust and passion continued to burn within us. At it only took a short spell of me and pleasuring each other with our hands before I guided him to me and pushed down making him enter me. As me and Ben's arms tightly around each other we slowly worked our bodies against each other until we both collided with our releases safely in each other's arms. As we continued to hold each other as we attempted to regulate our breathing I couldn't help but continue to feel relieved at the fact that me and Ben had managed to fix things. As it was always going to be me and Ben against the world; as we were always going to be their for each other, and no matter what came our way - we would brave through it, together.
