All of her resolve was shot to hell the second Benny stalked into the bedroom that night. Maureen had been dozing off waiting for him to come home. She woke up when she heard his belt hit the floor. He stood next to the bed completely naked except for the glow of the streetlight that came through the window. Maureen felt her pulse speed up. She was suddenly wide awake and extremely aware of the enticing man who gazed at her with pure heat in his eyes.

"Hi," was all she managed to say, her voice hoarse with need.

"I've missed you," he said in his deep, silky voice.

Maureen shivered and it had nothing to do with being cold. "Talk is cheap."

She was deliberately baiting him. Benny crawled slowly onto the bed until he was above her. His lips hung a breath above hers. She whimpered involuntarily. He was so close. Yet, he refused to come all the way.

She would be damned if she was going to throw herself into his arms. She waited patiently until Benny finally groaned and captured her lips in a fierce, needy kiss. Maureen inwardly gloated. It felt like his hands were everywhere at once. They roamed her body like restless butterflies, lightly landing and never staying in one place for too long.

His tongue plundered her mouth and left her breathless. The silky warmth in her mouth reminded her of another warm, silky part of his anatomy. She reached between their bodies and found him hard and ready. Benny broke from the kiss with a gasp.

"Oh God! Maureen…don't…"

"Don't what?" she asked in a seductive whisper.

Her kiss-swollen lips brushed against his ear with each word. Benny shuddered with desire.

"I won't be able to last very long if you skip the games and go straight to the prize."

Maureen laughed and tightened her hand around him ever-so-slightly. "Maybe I don't want to play anymore," she said softly.

The look on her face told Benny she wasn't kidding. She wiggled further under him and closed her mouth over one of his nipples. She heard him inhale sharply before she began to suck. Benny's hands clenched in the sheets. She swirled her tongue around the hard peak and nipped at him gently. Benny moaned and nearly collapsed on top of her. She released his nipple, satisfied that she had tortured him enough, and feathered kisses across his chest. She worked her way slowly back up to his mouth.

Benny couldn't take it any longer. He pinned her to the bed with his lower body. Maureen closed her eyes and thrust her hips against his. Benny growled and sucked on her bottom lip. She cried out and wrapped her legs around his waist. Benny thrust into her slick softness over and over. Maureen's orgasm hit almost immediately. She clawed at his back as wave after wave of pleasure rippled through her. When it was over, they both lay panting and dazed.

Benny drifted off to sleep fairly quickly. Maureen wasn't so lucky. She lay there for a long time, regret keeping her awake. She shouldn't have taken him back into her bed and her body. It would have been easier to leave him if she had kept her distance.

"You never learn, do you Maureen?" she mentally scolded herself. She wished she could curl up next to Mark right now. She didn't want sex. She wanted someone to hold her and make her feel secure. She settled for snuggling against Benny's back.

"Maybe I'm overreacting. If Benny was truly cheating on me, he wouldn't have had sex with me. He would have ignored me just like he has these past two weeks, right?" she reasoned silently. "I'll give him one more chance. If he fucks up again, I'll walk away for good." Her mind made up, she forced her eyes to close and eventually drifted into a fitful sleep.

In the morning, Maureen decided to creatively rouse Benny from his slumber. She nibbled the sensitive flesh at the base of his skull until he rolled onto his back. Her nails trailed over his chest with the faintest pressure before skimming down to his navel and beyond.

"Mmmm…that feels good, Allison," he murmured.

Maureen grew very still. "Who the fuck is Allison?" she asked, her voice low and dangerous.
