Thank you everyone for the reviews :) Sorry for the delay, I had to keep doing this chapter over and over again till I was satisfied with the result.

Chapter 8

Kevin and Ben spent the next few days together. Ben's injuries had mostly healed and his nightmare's had lessened a bit. Spending so much time with Kevin was both heaven and hell, he was falling more in love with the older teen everyday. Everything Ben desired was right in front of him, but he was still too afraid to confess to Kevin, fearful that the older teen didn't harbor any feelings for him other than maybe friendship.

The two were relaxing on the couch. At one point they had been watching a movie, but Kevin had fallen asleep and Ben was staring at him intently, marveling at how handsome Kevin was. His eyes wondered up and down his strong body, finally resting on his lips, they looked soft and inviting. Ben wanted so badly for those lips to be on his own, he could no longer restrain himself, leaning over and lightly touching his lips to Kevin's. Ben let out a startled yelp as one of Kevin's arms wrapped around his waist and the other hand cupped the back of Ben's head firmly. Kevin was kissing him, forcefully and deeply, his tongue entering Ben's mouth roaming and licking, tracing every inch of it. Kevin finally broke the kiss, grinning widely as Ben collapsed on his chest panting and gasping for breath.

"How bold of you Benji, kissing me in my sleep"

Ben blushed a deep shade of red as he tried to move away from the older teen, but Kevin held him firmly in place. After a struggling for a few futile moments Ben gave up and relaxed into the arms that held him, confident that Kevin wasn't going to release him anytime soon.

"So isn't there something you want to tell me Benji", half teasing the boy and enjoying it.

Ben half muttered a few inaudible words.

"What was that Benji?"

Ben turned an even darker shade of red, now becoming not only embarrassed, but also angry with the older teen for enjoying teasing him so much, he finally hissed out his reply.

"I said I love you, you jerk" Ben spat.

Kevin just laughed lowly, holding Ben close as he replied.

"About time you said it."

Ben opened his mouth to protest when he was silenced by another deep intense kiss. Kevin's hands moved under his shirt and started to roam his body, exploring every inch of his chest, sending shivers down his spine. Kevin trailed kisses along his neck as he pinched the delicate nipples, eliciting a moan from the teen. Kevin was forceful yet gentle, with his ministrations, he both relaxed and excited Ben. Kevin's hands started to drift lower on Ben's body, moving to his waist then down a bit further slipping under his boxers, caressing him with his hand, Ben moaned loudly and gripped Kevin's shoulders tightly as was stroked gently. Kevin's other hand slid to cup one of his firm cheeks and making its way in between them, to the delicate pink hole. Ben tensed, uneasiness gave way to full blown panic as memories of his attack flooded his mind. He let out a whimper and Kevin stilled his movements.

"Ben" Kevin asked as he pulled back to see tears forming in Ben's fearful eyes.

"NO… NO… STOP, PLEASE…" Ben was now sobbing and trembling. Kevin lightly shook and called to the teen to bring him back to reality.

"Ben… Ben, calm down, you're okay"

"Kevin… Oh god Kevin, I'm sorry I didn't mean to… I"

Kevin pulled Ben into his arms and Ben curled against his chest trying to calm his racing heart. He was picked up and carried to the Bedroom where he was plopped gently onto the bed. Kevin joined him, wrapping an arm around the teen and kissing his forehead. Ben was a bit confused, he expected Kevin to be angry, being forced to stop halfway.

"Kevin"

"Yeah Ben"

"I…"

Kevin opened his eyes to look at the boy, confusion, fear and distress apparent on his face as he looked back at the older teen. Kevin leaned over and kissed him chastely, Ben's worries were appeased. He moved to lay on Kevin's chest and they both fell asleep.

(The next day)

Kevin kissed the back of Ben's neck trying to rouse him from his sleep.

"Ben wake up"

"Kevin… what's wrong"

"Nothing, I'm just gonna run to the store and get some food."

"Okay" Ben turned back over, dozing back off.

He faintly heard Kevin leave the house. A few minutes later Ben was roused by the sound of the bedroom door opening, not bothering to open his eyes.

"Kevin did you forget your wallet again?" Ben said sleepily.

Ben received no reply so he asked again feeling a weight on the bed.

"Kevin"

The weight shifted to Ben's back, pressing him into the bed painfully.

"Hello boy, did you miss us"

Ben's eyes widened in terror but before he could react he cried out in pain as a stun gun was pressed into his side and he fell unconscious.
