Content warning for smut, lemons and swearing in this chapter.
When me and Ben locked the door to our suite behind us we both sighed when we heard Ben's phone go off; so when we sat down on the couches in our living area I walked into our bedroom and onto our balcony. As I placed both of my hands on the stone wall in front of me I started to watch the others who were choosing to stay up a little bit longer. They were just lightly lit up but the dimly lit lanterns and fire pit but I could still see that they were still continuing to enjoy their night; however this was probably nothing on tomorrow night when the ball was in full swing.
"Mal!" I heard Ben say a short while later after watching those below aimlessly chatting.
"Yes?" I replied as I turned around to see him walking towards me.
"Can we talk about before?" he questioned as he stood in front of me.
"Before?" I asked as I pulled one brow up in confusion.
"When you said that you used to hate me" he stated before he pursed his lips together.
"Oh" I returned as my eyes widened in realisation. "Sorry" I quickly apologised. "That just came out, I don't hate you" I urged.
"I know you don't" he answered. "But you used to" he reminded me.
"Yes" I nodded. "And you knew this" I reminded him as well. "I used to hate every single King, Queen, Prince and Princess in this kingdom" I explained further. "What did you want to talk about?" I enquired. Part of me knew that me confiding in Ben earlier on would prompt a conversation like this at some point; when this tended to happen Ben wanted to talk about it more. He stated that this was because he wanted to understand; yes I appreciated this but there was still a part of me that was scared of losing him if he didn't like anything about my past. Ben always urged that this would never happen; but I didn't think I would ever be able to get rid of this insecurity -unfortunately.
"Let's sit down" he advised as he nodded back towards inside.
"Well this doesn't make me worry" I muttered as we both turned to walk back inside.
"I'm not trying to worry you" he advised as he stepped into our bedroom. "But with you mentioning it I wanted to talk about it more" he added as I followed him into our bedroom.
"Ok" I noted as we both walked up to the left hand side of our bed. "So what do you want to know?" I asked as we both sat down, with Ben on my left hand side.
"Well I don't think I need to know why you felt like that-" he began and I nodded at this. "I guess-" he continued. "I'm just intrigued what you thought" he admitted.
"Really Ben?" I asked incredulously. "You want to know what I really thought about you before I met you, and the things that I wanted to do to you if I ever got the chance?" I stressed. Why should this be such a big deal for? Why would he want to know about the plans that I had in store for him? I just hoped that we weren't about to argue about this; as this is the last thing I wanted right now - especially due to the fact that we currently had guests with us.
"Yes" he nodded.
"Why?" I questioned. "Does it really matter?" I whined.
"To me, yes" he advised.
"Why?" I repeated.
"I don't know" he replied. "If you really don't want to talk about this then we won't, I won't push you" he offered and we both fell into silence. In all honesty I didn't have any problems talking about this; I just didn't want to upset Ben - or change how he thought about me. I didn't want to be defined for what I have thought or done in the past; and yes I knew Ben loved me but I knew that he was going to have some issues over my past.
"I don't mind telling you" I advised. "I just don't think you are going to like it" I added.
"Ok" he nodded.
"My mother-" I started.
"Yes?" he prompted.
"Always thought that there was going to be a war" I stated. "The Isle vs Auradon" I continued.
"But you didn't believe that she would ever enter the battle herself?" he advised.
"No" I answered. "She would send me; I would lead the villainous army. Which means I would be against you" I continued as I took a couple of deep breaths to steady myself. "And I was to make every single man, woman and child suffer in Auradon" I explained. "Especially you, your parents and the Beauty's; my mother was very insistent on it" I finished as I looked down.
"I see" he noted. "What did she want you to do?" I heard him ask, which caused me to look up at him.
"To quote her "Just use your imagination; but make them pay...ALOT!" I urged as my mind started to spitefully show me the conversations and the beatings that I received leading up to me coming to Auradon.
"So what did you have planned?" he enquired.
"Well I was going to torture you all-" I shrugged. "Slowly" I said. "Painfully, have you beg for forgiveness" I hissed as I pushed away the thoughts and plans that I had before I came to Auradon. Of course I didn't want that now; I loved Ben and Auradon - mostly Ben. It hurt me to think about the person that I used to be; about what I used to think and say and I hated that. I hated who I used to be. "I would have used you against your parents" I confessed as I looked back at the floor.
"How?" I heard him say.
"I would have tortured you in front of your parents" I answered not looking at him. It was hard enough saying this without looking at him as I said it; I just hoped that it wasn't going to make things awkward between the pair of us. "Make them beg. Plead. All to protect their little boy" I cooed.
"How would you do that?" he dared to ask which caused me to look up at him.
"Physically and mentally" I admitted. "I don't want to go too much into it Ben; I don't like thinking of you in pain" I added.
"Sorry" he quickly apologised. "I just don't know what you mean by mentally" he explained.
"Well I would return the favour by torturing your parents in front of you" I began to advise. "I would also-" I stated but stopped as I knew that I was about to tell Ben something that I hadn't told him in the past.
"Yes?" he prompted again.
"There is this thing that me and my mother can do" I stated. "As you know that our eyes glow bright green when we have a heightened emotion" I added and I watched as Ben nodded at me. "There is also another reason behind it; another use-" I continued before I took a couple of deep breaths to steady myself. "We can cause pain with our minds" I confessed and I saw his eyes widen slightly in realisation at this. "She used to do it to me" I gulped as my mind started to show me my mother torturing me back at Bargain Castle.
"And you would do that to me?" he muttered.
"Yes" I confirmed. "Both ways" I stated.
"What?" he asked in confusion as he slid both of his hands in mine and gave them a gentle squeeze.
"There's two mind tricks I can do" I confirmed. "I can cause you physical pain and mental anguish; I can make you think things that might hurt you" I elaborated.
"What?" he repeated. "Have you ever done any mind tricks on me?" he urged; and I felt my stomach start to flutter. I knew that he would question this; but I knew that deep down he knew that I hadn't done this.
"No" I told him. "I haven't needed to, I never felt any need to" I urged. "Do you believe me?" I questioned out loud as I noticed something changed in his eyes.
"Yes" he stressed as he squeezed my hands again. "Of course I do, I just wanted to check" he explained and I nodded at this. I understood why he had asked this; but this hadn't stopped me panicking about Ben's reaction. "Mal?" he said.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Can you show me?" he asked.
"Show you what?" I questioned slowly hoping that he wasn't asking me to do any of my mind tricks on him.
"Both mind tricks" he stated.
"Why?" I sighed. "Ben I don't want to hurt you" I stressed.
"I know" he replied. "I just want to see what you mean" he added.
"Benny" I whined. "Please don't make me hurt you" I begged.
"Ok" he nodded. "Sorry" he apologised again. "It's ok" he smiled at me. "I just wanted to understand; but I'll leave it. I don't want to push you to do something that you don't want to" he offered.
"Thank you" I meekly smiled at him as I made a decision. "How about I show you one of them? Not the mental anguish one though" I suggested. "I would make you see things happening to me and I don't want that" I quickly explained before he questioned me on it.
"No" he agreed. "Ok" he said.
"Are you sure Ben?" I offered.
"Positive" he nodded.
"Ok" I nodded back as I took a couple of deep breaths again to steady myself. "Look at me" I advised and we both locked eyes. I felt my eyes start to burn which told me that my eyes were now glowing bright green; I went to stop myself from hurting Ben as my stomach started to flutter in panic. However the thought that Ben wanted to understand and know more about me pushed me to complete the task at hand and decided that I would only give him a couple of seconds taste. So with this decision in the forefront of my mind I urged my magic to do my bidding and I felt an electric surge run through my body and through the air towards Ben.
"URGH!" Ben cried out; and I quickly looked away, breaking us both from my magic.
"That's only mild" I muttered as I pushed and dispelled all the magic out of my body.
"Mild?" he questioned incredulously as I looked back at him as he pulled his hands away from mine.
"Yes" I confirmed. "And that is all you are getting" I urged as I watched him put his head into his hands. "Benny are you ok?" I questioned.
"Yes" he said as he looked up at him. "I see what you mean now; sorry I put you through that" he added.
"I think I should be saying that to you" I pressed.
"Don't!" he dismissed. "I asked you to do it; I know it was hard for you. Thank you for letting me in" he smiled at me.
"It was" I confirmed. "And your welcome" I added politely. "Come here" I said and I pulled him into a tight embrace.
"I love you Mal" I heard him say over my left shoulder. "So much" he added as he tightened his arms around me.
"I love you so much too" I replied lovingly before pressing a kiss against the side of his head. We then fell into silence as we held each other tightly and took in what had just happened between the pair of us. And in this time I had came to another decision. Yes this conversation had been hard but in a way I was glad that it had happened; it made me feel closer to Ben. But there was no way that I was going to ever do that to him again - no matter how much he asked me to.
After we had been sitting like this for what felt like a perfect eternity Ben pulled away from me and told me that he was going to get ready for bed, but not before pressing a kiss against the top of my head. As I watched him walk into our bathroom I looked at him in complete awe - he was the other half of me. And it would appear that no matter what conversations we had or what came our way we would be able to get through it as we had each other.
"Hey!" Ben sang as he re-entered the room.
"Hey!" I sang back in the same playful tone as I noticed that he had nothing more on that his dark blue boxers.
"Everything ok?" he questioned as he walked around to the right hand side of the bed.
"Yeah I just feel bad about what happened" I admitted as he sat down.
"Don't Mal" He urged. "Please?" he begged. "I asked for it" he reminded me.
"Ok" I nodded. I was going to try and not let this get to me as much but I knew that it might take a little bit of time - I hated the fact that I had hurt Ben to get a point across, even if he had asked for it. "Well I'm going to go in the shower" I advised as I stood up.
"Ok" he nodded. "Try not to keep your Beast waiting" he teased. "He's very impatient to see you" he purred as he learned over towards me.
"Oh" I muttered as a knot of lust started to tighten in my stomach. "You don't need to tell me that, I know" I chuckled and I grinned as I heard a chuckle also escape from his lips. "I'll be as quick as I can" I promised.
"Promises promises baby" he flirted as he reached over closer to me. I was just about to start heading towards our bathroom but I suddenly stopped when I felt Ben spank my left buttock.
"Behave Ben" I growled as I stood still and looked over to him.
"Or else what?" he purred as a mischievous glint entered his eyes.
"You'll see when I come back in here" I sang back suggestively. I watched as he winked at me before rolling back over to his side of the bed; with lust driving me I quickly left the room and walked into our bathroom - very eager to return back to my Beast.
Thankfully it didn't take me very long to have a shower and get ready for bed; however nothing prepared me for when I walked back into the room and took in the sight before me.
I was now looking at Ben in Beast form sitting on the right hand side of our bed; I couldn't help but let a groan escape from my throat as my eyes quickly swept him up and down. I heard a low purr come from him and it became too much; so I quickly ran up to our bed, jumped onto it and quickly straddled him.
"Hello" he chuckled as he loosely wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Hello" I flirted huskily back. I then quickly pressed my lips against his and we shared a brief but loving kiss. When we broke apart we looked at each other fondly for a few seconds and I took in the sight of my Beast. Yes most people probably wouldn't agree with me being like this with Ben but I didn't care. I didn't see Ben as a monster; I saw him as Ben - my lover, my best friend, true love and soul mate.
After we had been staring at each other for a few seconds Ben then carefully pressed his lips against mine; however he quickly deepened the kiss which I moaned as I melted into it. As the minutes ticked by our hands started to roam over each other's bodies; and the only sounds that could be heard was the sounds of our mouths working against each other's with the occasional grunt, moan and groan. When the need to breath came I pulled away from Ben and quickly pressed my lips against the left hand side of his neck and started to lace kisses up and down it.
"You my dear" he panted.
"Yes" I giggled as I pulled away and looked down at him.
"Are going to get me all riled up" he purred.
"Well I think that is only fair" I stated.
"How so?" he questioned as I felt his paws run up and down my back.
"I am already riled up" I admitted boldly.
"Oh really?" he chuckled at me.
"Yes" I confirmed and I went back to lace the left hand side of his neck with kisses. A few seconds after I had started this assault I couldn't help but moan against his neck as I heard a growl before he started to snuggle against my neck. I then felt his hot lips press against the bare flesh on the left hand side of my neck and I moaned loudly as I started to feel shivers run up and down my spine as he started to suck on the delicate skin. However I was that caught up in the moment that when he pulled away from me I also pulled away and I couldn't stop a groan of disappointment leave my lips.
"I love how you react to me like this" he chuckled.
"I know" I winked at him as our lust and passion was starting to get the best of me. "I know that I wanted a cuddle with you like this-" I began.
"Yes?" he prompted me. "We both do" he advised. "But I think I need to change soon before things get too out of hand" he suggested.
"Oh believe me I know" I grinned smugly as I grinded down onto his hardening member and I giggled when I heard him hiss at me. "We both know that we need each other; and I know that you worry for my safety" I stated.
"I do Mal" he agreed. "I really do" he urged and I nodded in agreement at this. "How about this?" he started to offer.
"Right?" I prompted him.
"We have a little bit longer like this; and when I change back I will make it worth your while?" he negotiated.
"Deal" I grinned at him; but before I could say or do anything he quickly pressed his lips back against mine. As we started to get lost into a long and loving make out session I vaguely remember me and Ben shifting our positions so he was now on top of me. After the need to breath assaulted our lungs again we then cuddled together with his head snuggled against my chest; and as we started to get lost in enjoying our cuddle one thing was on my mind - that I love my life with Ben and I couldn't wait to see where our lives were going to take us next.
"Now Mal" Ben said as he pulled away and looked down at me after we had been lying in silence for a short while.
"Yes Ben?" I answered happily.
"Let me change" he stated. "I need you" he said in a husky tone which made me want to melt. I grinned at him as I dropped my arms from him and he rolled off me and onto my right hand side. I watched as he took in a deep breath and as he did this he closed his eyes and started to glow gold. I then watched as he slowly changed back into his mortal form; and when he had done so he quickly span around onto his left hand side and grinned at me. I giggled at it and he used this opportunity to eagerly climb on top of me and we cuddled back together. "I love hearing you giggle" he purred as he brushed his nose against mine.
"I know" I muttered as I slowly looked up and down my beautiful fiancé's face. "I know what other sounds you love hearing" I teased with a smug grin.
"Like?" he prompted me.
"Rather than telling you" I purred as I tightened my arms around his neck. "Maybe I could show you?" I offered suggestively as I pulled one brow up at him.
"Deal" he smiled before he crushed his lips against mine and we shared a very heated long and loving kiss. "Ah" he stated as he abruptly pulled away from me.
"What?" I breathed in confusion.
"Silencing spell" he panted.
"Already up baby" I smirked.
"When?" he enquired in confusion.
"When you were getting ready" I explained.
"I see, you beautiful dragon" he noted.
"Hmm" I purred. "So your Majesty-" I started as playfulness and lust engulfed my body.
"Yes?" he purred back.
"Undress me" I demanded as I pulled one brow up at him and I grinned when I heard Ben groan. Ben then eagerly pressed his lips against mine and we started to make out as our eager hands roaming over each other's bodies. As the minutes ticked by the kisses got more heated as Ben helped me out of my clothes; as his already naked body was pressed up against me.
"There you go" he said smugly as he grinned down at me, after we broke apart when we needed to calm our breathing down. "Naked" he smirked at me as he quickly looked me up and down.
"I know" I smirked back as I started to feel a warmth start to build up in between my legs.
"And I can't wait for you to see what I want to do to you" he advised boldly.
"Then do it to me" I suggested. "Your Majesty" I muttered and I heard Ben grow once more. To break the tension I used my arms and legs to pull him back to me and I crushed my lips against his once more; I moaned against his lips as I felt his tongue sweep against mine. Moments later I moaned as I felt Beastie Junior continue to brush against my lower stomach which caused Ben to pull away from me and smirk at me.
"Turn over" he demanded. "On your knees!" he pressed.
"Make me" I grinned as I started to tease him. I watched as Ben's eyes continued to darken further in lust before a low husky growl came from his lips; before I could say or do anything he then quickly rolled off me. He then slid his hands onto my legs and used them as leverage to roll me over; I then felt him position himself in between my legs as I then pushed up onto my hands and knees. I then arched my back and pushed my ass up so Ben could have more access to me; which Ben took every advantage of as he spanked my left buttock - which caused me to hiss. "Someone is eager" I teased as I felt his left hand slid onto my left hip.
"Always" I heard him answer. "With you" he chuckled and he spanked my right buttock with his right hand.
"Ben" I moaned as shivers started to run over my body. "Please?" I begged.
"Patience Mal" he cooed. "Just tell me-" I heard him say as he kneaded both of his thumbs against both of my buttocks. "How badly do you want it Mally?" he teased.
"Ben please!" I pleaded. "Don't make me beg!" I exclaimed and I heard him chuckle again. As I looked over to him I watched that he was slowly letting his eyes roam over my naked body; and I couldn't help but feel like I was melting as I gave myself over to him.
A large grin spread across my face as I watched him pull his right hand from me and he pressed the tip of his member against my entrance. It all became too much for me as I threw my head back and I went to push back but I suddenly felt Ben's left hand tighten on me, telling me to stop.
"Ah, ah, ah!" he sang. "No" I heard him add. "Only when I say" he purred as his left thumb started to massage my hip.
"Yes Sir" I panted as my body started screaming and yearning for Ben.
"Good girl" he advised as he brushed the tip of his member against me. "You are so ready for this" he noted.
"Yes Sir!" I exclaimed as I rested my head on both of my arms in front of me. It must have been getting too much for Ben as well; as a few seconds later he bucked forward and quickly entered me.
"FUCK!" we both cried out in ecstasy.
"BEN!" I called out as he started to thrust hand and fast against me. As I was moaning and groaning I could hear Ben doing the same as his hand gripped both of my hips tightly as he continued his powerful thrusts against me.
As minutes ticked by Ben kept up his impressive pace; which caused me to convulse in pleasure as we both moaned, groaned, grunted and swore as I met him thrust for thrust. I loved being like this with Ben; I loved giving myself over to him. He knew how to read my body; and what it needed - and I knew for a fine fact that I would never ever get sick of making love with my Beast.
As our releases started to build up I felt my toes involuntarily curl up; and with every thrust Ben did against me I felt like they were hitting the bottom of my gut. Every now and again Ben would spank me; which would engulf me in my pleasure and shivers; and they caused shock waves to flow through me.
"Rougher Ben!" I begged. "Fuck me harder! I cried out desperately in between moans. I then groaned in disappointment as Ben quickly pulled out of me; I looked over to him and went to glare at him but stopped as he helped me onto my back. As I lay down with my head on our pillows our eyes locked and I felt my knees turned to jelly. I loved Ben being in control and giving into his Beastly urges like this - it was such a turn on.
Ben then opened my legs a little wider so he could have more access to me; and he slowly palmed my clit with his right hand for a few seconds. He then lay on top of me; and as he did this he guided himself back to me before thrusting deep inside of me once more. He quickly started to change his actions from before; he was now thrusting even rougher, deeper and harder into me. If that was even possible! I just put it down to the change in position as we held each other very close as we worked against each other.
"Like that?" he grunted as his face was inches above mine.
"Yes!" I hissed. "More give me more!" I begged as we continued in our slow and sensual rhythm. "Ben I love you" I wined as he continued to make love to me.
"I love you too" he groaned.
"Ben I'm close!" I cried out as I started to feel my release begin to peak.
"Me too my love" he groaned back. It didn't take long for us both to become undone; but when we did it felt like such a blessed release - like it always did! My eyes screwed shut and my legs went stiff as my release assaulted me; and at the same time Ben roared as he spilled himself into me.
As we started to come down our high Ben pulled back slightly, causing him to slid out of me. He then moved down the bed slightly and cuddled his face into my chest; it didn't take very long before I heard Ben growling in his sleep as my eyes lazily rolled. However before I slipped into a peaceful slumber I made a mental note; that tonight me and Ben had shared a milestone in our relationship - as we had just slept together for the first time as a newly engaged couple.
