Summary: While working late, Ben is suffering from a creative block so MC (Dani) finds a way to inspire him.
Dani shifted in the bed, still half inside of a dream. She reached out in the darkness for Ben’s comforting form but her hand found only empty sheets. Dani opened her eyes, trying to make out the bedroom in the darkness and confirmed that she was, indeed, alone.
“Ben?” she called out softly. No response. Dani climbed out of bed and headed for the door, gently stretching her neck from side to side as she walked. She opened the door and looked into the living room, mostly dark except for the single lamp on Ben’s desk that was tucked in a corner. “Ben?”
Ben whirled around, startled. “Dani!” he exclaimed, putting a hand to his bare chest. “Oh man, you scared me. I swear, you have ninja feet.”
Dani smiled and walked over to him. “What are you doing up so late?” she asked as she ran a hand through his hair. On the desk in front of him were several crumpled pieces of paper beside his sketchpad. Ben sighed and scooted his chair back a little to make room for her before he pulled Dani down onto his lap.
“I’ve been stuck on the latest issue and I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d get up and work on it,” he said as he wrapped an arm around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
“No luck?” Dani asked.
“No luck,” Ben said. “I’m sorry if I woke you up.”
“You didn’t,” Dani said. “I woke up on my own but then you weren’t there.”
“I’m sorry,” Ben said, tilting her face down to kiss him. Dani let her hand trail down his bare back as Ben tightened his hold on her waist. As they kissed, his lips warm and inviting, the tiredness began to fade from Dani’s body.
“Are you coming to bed?” she asked, tracing her finger along the hard line of his jaw.
“Eventually,” Ben said with a sigh as he glanced back at the table. “I’m still a little too keyed up to go to bed, so I think I’m going to stay out here and try to keep working for a bit.”
“Well,” Dani said as she leaned in close to him and placed a soft kiss on his earlobe. “What if I helped you find a way to … relax?”
“What did you have in mind?” Ben asked. Dani could feel his hand on her knee start to drift upwards between her thighs. She smiled.
“Just something to help you take your mind off work,” Dani said coyly as she slid off of his lap and knelt before him, settling herself between his knees. She leaned forward and kissed his stomach, letting her lips and tongue trail down his taut muscles until she reached the waistband of his pajama pants. Dani cupped him through the fabric, already feeling him starting to harden. She hooked her fingers in the elastic waistband of his pants and boxers and tugged them. Ben raised his hips slightly to allow her to pull them away until he was exposed, waiting. Dani wrapped her hands around him, bringing her lips close but not quite touching, not yet. She flicked her eyes up towards him and saw Ben watching her, his gaze thick with desire. Dani felt a warm feeling spread through her abdomen; she loved when he looked at her like that. It turned her on so much to know how much he wanted her.
Dani kissed the tip of his cock softly as she began to move her hand up and down his length. She slowly traced the tip of her tongue around his smooth head before she took him into her mouth, just a little. Dani heard Ben moan softly and she slid him a little further into her mouth, pressing her tongue to the underside of his shaft. Dani felt him brush back her hair so he could watch her and she began to let her lips rise and fall over his length, taking him into her mouth over and over again.
After a few minutes, Ben was having a hard time stay still under her touch. Dani felt his fingers tighten in her hair, urging her to go faster. Ben groaned as he dropped his head back, losing himself in the feel of her mouth on him.
“Oh, god, Dani,” he whispered. “I’m close.”
Dani cupped his balls as she continued to caress him with her hand and tongue, squeezing them gently. She could feel he was close, could feel he was about to come.
“Dani,” he groaned. “Oh, Christ, I–”
The rest of his words were lost in wordless pleasure as Dani took all of him in, swallowing every drop as he came. She finally released him flicked her eyes back up to his. Ben watched her with hooded eyes, breathing hard, before he quickly leaned down and kissed her, cradling her face in his hands.
“I take it you like my relaxation technique?” Dani asked mischievously.
“I loved it,” Ben said, kissing her again. “But I think it had the opposite effect than you were hoping for.”
“You’re not still worrying about work, are you?” Dani asked, flabbergasted. Ben laughed.
“No, not at all. After that, I didn’t even remember I had a job,” Ben said with a grin. “But if you wanted me to be able to go to sleep, I have to tell you–I’m not going to sleep anytime soon.”
Ben stood up and pulled Dani to her feet, kissing her deeply. Then he swept her up in his arms, scooping her up the way he had on their wedding day to carry her into the threshold of their apartment. Dani laughed and kissed him before he carried her to the bedroom, kicking the door shut behind him with a bang.
