In Name Only Read online

  Sky pushed her hips up to him. Ben hands slipped under her thighs opening her legs bringing them around his hips and sank deeper, and Sky lifting herself to receive him. Ben held on to her hips tightly preventing her movement as he still moved inside her. Sky looked up at the fierce expression on his face.

  “You are mine Skylar, and I will be the only man inside you, do you understand me!” Ben stated holding her hips tightly, still moving inside her manipulating her walls.

  “Yes,” she answered breathlessly, “Now let me move!” she cried and pushed up to him pulled his climaxing from him.

  They made love all through the night and Ben showed her things she only imagined.

  Benjamin lay on his side, his head resting in his hand watching her sleep. How peaceful and so beautiful she looked in her sleep, he thought. Ben could not believe he was still lying beside her. He had broken one of his own strictest rules. He never spends the night and he never had a woman in his home. Nevertheless, he was still in Sky’s bed, and had no desire to leave. Her natural passionate nature surprised him. Ben knew he was a good lover, but Sky naiveté was really an ego booster for him. Every touch, every caress was new to her. The sexual positions he had introduced her to throughout the night seem new and more exciting even to him. She pulled from him more he thought than he had to give. In fact he had given more to her than he has given to other woman. He took his time and made love to her, he worshipped her body with his hand, his mouth, and his every touch on her uncharted body inflamed him more and more. He could not believe she never been made love to. Her husband was a fool, not seeing the passion in this beautiful creature. Any man that had the opportunity to have her in their bed would have surely been pleased. He was pleased, more than he ever thought he could be, more experienced women has never made him feel like he wanted to stay with them or in them even when they begged him to stay. They were lucky if he made love to them twice, he was prone to become bored very quickly. However, this innocent woman has him wanting her repeatedly. Ben felt himself getting hard just at the thought of making love to her again. Suddenly Sky moaned and exhaled. A smile came to his mouth. She moaned again and sighed. Ben stilled watching her. Was she asleep? He wondered. Yes, he was sure of it. Her breath became shallow. Ben frowned his smile broaden. She was having a wet dream. She moaned louder. She flung the sheet that lay across her lower body. Her hips lifted and she moaned again. Ben moved above her. If it was wrong for him to take her while she slept, he would apologize later, right now he had to bury himself inside her. Ben positioned himself between her and guided himself inside her hot moist heat. Her hips lifted to receive him. Ben sucked air through his teeth. So hot so wet. Ben looked down at her; she was still asleep. She pushed her hips up meeting the thrust of his body. Excitement built in Ben’s chest; she was just as passionate even in her sleep. He wanted her to awaken, he wanted her to know who is inside her not some fathom dream lover. Ben bent and touched her mouth with his softly. Her eyes remain closed, as she met his demanding body.

  “Skylar, wake up, know who’s making love to you,” Ben whispered in her ear.

  She moaned. “Ben,” she sighed softly. Still her eyes didn’t open.

  The whisper of his name ignited him, and he was going to make her climax, because he could not hold out any longer, the situation having him so excited he didn’t want to prolong their pleasure. Ben movement increased and she easily met his flow. Her body tensed and shivered, Ben knew she was coming; he leaned up and let the pleasure flow through him. Ben pulled himself from her heavily breathing and flopping to his back exhausted and very sated. Sky moaned and rolled over to him placing her head on his chest, as she molded her body against his. Ben looked down at her head on his chest, Sky was his; nothing was going to keep him from her not even his mother.

  Sky rolled over and looked at the bedside clock reading seven o’clock. She turned her head and looked at the sleeping Ben. Sky smiled. A delightful sensation went through her when she remembered the pleasure he had given her, and was still awed by the delicious way he made her feel. So, this was how it felt to be made love to. How she longed to experience the things she had read in books and saw in a movie and she finally has. Sky looked at him closely. She could see the shadow of a beard on his handsome face, which made him appear even sexier than he already did. Sky eased from the bed to take care of her toiletries. She returned to the bedroom, Ben was still asleep. She got back in the bed, and lay on top of him.

  “Benjamin,” she called softly and kissed the tip of his nose. He moaned.

  “Wake up,” she whispered in his ear. She kissed his neck; moving lower she kissed his chest. She looked up at him. His eyes remained shut. Sky smiled. Sky let her hand caress down his body slowly. “Benjamin, wake up,” she repeated softly. Still he didn’t move.

  Sky rotated her low body against his, her eyes closed as she enjoys the sensations while gyrating against him. So lost in the feelings she had invoked on herself, Sky forgot about waking Ben, so caught up in her body rubbing against his manhood feeling getting harder and harder with each rotation of her hips against his.

  Feigning sleep, Ben smiled. He had awakened when she got out the bed. Now she was on him trying to wake him up. He heard her moan.

  Ben swiftly rolled her to her back startling her. “What are you doing?” he asked smiling down at her surprised face.

  “I was trying to wake you up?” she said sheepishly wrapping her legs around him.

  “Like this,” Ben said huskily entering her body.

  “Yes,” she moaned lifting herself to receive him.

  Ben gave her what she wanted. Ben moved in her savoring the wet tightness of her, taking pleasure in the way she pulsated around his throbbing manhood. He moved in her until they both found the pleasure they searched for and together they floated back to reality.

  Later they lay quiet in each other arms. The phone rang disrupting the quiet. Sky rolled over and lifted the receiver.

  “Hello,” she spoke. It was Ms Georgie.

  “Good Morning Ms Georgie,” Sky greeted looking at Ben. She put her finger to her lips for him to stay quiet.

  “Yes, I had a wonderful time last night.” Ben leaned up on his elbow looking at her grinning.

  “Ben, yes I like him very much,” she answered glancing at Ben. Ben started kissing her shoulders. Sky pulled away, shaking her head.

  “No, I have a way to pick up my car, you don’t have to come over, thank you,”

  “Yes Ms Georgie I’m sure.”

  Ben pulled her back to lie on the bed. Sky glared up at him, shaking her head. Ben grinned, lowered his head, and took her breast in his mouth.

  “Hold on one minute Ms Georgie,” Sky said.

  She put her hand over the mouthpiece, so Ms Georgie could not hear her.

  “Ben stop it, your mother is on this phone,” she scolded in a whisper. Ben ignored her, and continued down her body, his mouth on her stomach. Ben mouth moved lower, and lower. Sky sighed and dropped the phone. Ben rolled from her laughing. Sky put her hand over his mouth and lifted the phone.

  “I’m sorry Ms Georgie,” she said glaring at Ben.

  Sky was listening but Ben could not hear what his mother was saying, alarm growing evident on her face. She extended the phone to Ben. Ben frowned.

  “Good Morning Mom,” Ben said rolling his eyes up.

  “Yes, Mom, I know.

  “Yes, but...”

  “Mom, I didn’t, I wouldn’t…”

  “Sky couldn’t help herself,” Ben said grinning at her. Sky’s mouth dropped opened.

  “Okay Mom, I love you too.”

  Sky stood beside the bed naked her hands on her hips frowning at him.

  “If you had been quiet she would have never known you were here. Now how am I going to be able to face her knowing she knows I made love to her son all night long, and just after one meeting, she going to think I’m some loose woman,” Sky groaned, “I’m never drinking champagne again.” she added miserably s
itting on the side of the bed.

  Ben watched her smiling and then he busted out laughing. Sky turned glaring at him.

  “Benjamin this is not funny,” she told him rolling her eyes rising from the bed. Ben pulled her back down.

  “Yes it is,” he said kissed her getting up from the bed going to the bath. Sky lay on the bed smiling. A minute later, she heard the shower running. Sky got up put on her robe and went to fix some breakfast for them.

  “Sky!” Ben called from the bathroom. Sky went to the bathroom and stuck her head in the door. Ben was standing in the shower. “Mom wants us over for Sunday dinner,” he stated.

  Sky groaned. Ben laughter followed her from the bathroom.

  Chapter Five

  Ben left Sky’s house around noon. He had taken her to get her car, and told her he would pick her up for dinner at his mother’s house. At five o’clock that evening Sky and Ben was standing at his mother’s door ringing the bell. With Sky’s hand in his, Ben looked over at her thinking how pretty she looked in the tangerine sundress and very nervous; she kept biting her lower lip.

  Sky looked up at Ben. “She knows what we were doing last night,” Sky said with a groan.

  Ben smiled, “I’ll tell we were just reading all night, if she asks,” Ben said with a chuckle.

  “How are you going to explain this hickey on my neck, I couldn’t cover with makeup, tell her you hit me in the neck with a book,” Sky said sarcastically.

  Ben threw back his head and laughed. He tried his best to stop when the door opened. Sky put her hand neck trying to look nonchalant hiding the mark. Ben laughed harder.

  “Hello Children, what’s funny?” Ms Georgie asked looking from one to the other.

  Ben shook his head and kissed his mother’s cheek.

  “Hello Ms Georgie,” Sky said holding her neck and glaring at Ben.

  “Come in, come in,” Ms Georgie said taking Sky hand, leaving her neck uncovered, Ben following them. She looked back at Ben a nervous frown on her face.

  Jana, Jonathan, and Edmond had already arrived and were sitting in the living room.

  “Hey Sky,” Jonathan greeted eagerly.

  Ms Georgie let her hand go; Sky instantly folded her arms, one hand at her neck.

  “Hi Jonathan, Edmond, Jana” she greeted. Ben stood close to her having a hard time containing his laughter at how ridiculous Sky looked trying to hide their night of passion. She bumped against Ben looking up at him glaring.

  “I don’t know what wrong with him,” she stated and sat beside Jana with her hand still on her neck.

  Ms Georgie smiled. Ben was happy. She has never known him to laughs this much. For a while she thought he forgotten how. Over the years, Ben had become so stiff and serious since his commission in the Navy. She was glad to see her son for once dropping his formal façade.

  Ben sat beside Edmond. Ben stopped laughing to greet the rest of his family. He glimpse over at Sky who sat beside Jana talking and still trying to hide the marks as if it was natural to hold her arms as she was. Ben could not hold his laughter in. He busted out laughing harder than before. Sky glared at him. Jana, Ms Georgie, Edmond, and Jonathan looked at him frowning wondering if he has lost his mind.

  “What Unck?” Jonathan said smiling, “What’s funny?” Tears were starting to come into his eyes now.

  “What?” everyone said? Ben couldn’t talk, although he tried. Sky rolled her eyes at him, her arms still folded.

  “Wait a minute,” Ben said trying in vain to stop laughing, but the more he looked at Sky the funnier it became.

  Sky sighed and stood up. “Ben threw a book at my neck, now I have this mark,” she said and dropped her hand. Everyone looked at the mark on her neck.

  Ben fell over on his brother from laughing so hard. Everyone looked at the both of them strangely. Edmond frowned and pushed Ben off him. “Get yourself together man.”

  “Looks like a passion mark to me,” Jon commented.

  Sky closed her eyes dropping her head. Ben finally got himself together. Sky was embarrassed and it was his fault. Ben rose going to her and putting his arms around her. She buried her face in his chest.

  “Actually, we were reading all night and the book slipped out my hand and hit Sky in the neck,” Ben said smiling mischievously.

  “Oh come on, Benjamin,” Ms Georgie said with a smile, “We are all adults here and we know a passion mark when we see one, book my eye.”

  Sky bite Ben on his chest, Ben flinched. Sky moved from him, his hand on his chest rubbing the spot. He looked at her smiling. “Maybe we’ll try that again later.” Sky mouth dropped open at his statement. Jana and Georgie looked at one another smiling. Neither woman has ever seen Ben this happy after just one day.

  “Do I know my boys or do I know my boys,” she said arrogantly smiling. “Come ladies let set the table. Jana and Sky followed Ms Georgie in the kitchen.

  “She nice Unck, I like her,” Jon said smiling at Ben.

  “Me too,” Ben said smiling at his nephew.

  Edmond observed his younger brother. He could not remember the last time Ben laughs as he was doing and smiling to beat the band. Ben was finally happy, maybe now he will settle down.

  “So where is this going Ben?” Edmond asked.

  Ben shrugged, “I don’t know yet Ed.

  “What about Dina?” Edmond asked.

  “What about her? Dina and I are colleagues, we had a thing, but it is what it is, let say we have an understanding, she in the Navy too and her concern is her career.”

  “Could you be happy with her, I mean I’ve never seen you as happy as you are right now.” Edmond stated.

  “Dina is kind of stiff, I don’t know, Dina and I have the same goals that much I can say, she understands the life of a naval officer.”

  “Yeah, but can she make you happy like Sky obviously does?” Ben shrugged.

  “Ms Dina seems stuck up to me,” Jonathan said. Both men looked at him and shook their heads. “Did you really hit Sky with a book Unck?” Jonathan asked.

  Ben laughed and told them the conversation he and Sky had before they came into the house. They now knew why Ben had been laughing so hard. Ben, Edmond, and Jonathan started laughing and couldn’t stop.

  The women heard the laughter from the other room. Sky knew why they were laughing. She gave up trying to hide the mark on her neck.

  They were sitting at the kitchen table talking about the wedding. Sky listening quietly.

  “Ms Georgie, do you think I’m loose?” Sky asked timidly.

  Georgie frowned. “Loose?” she repeated not understanding. Jana smiled at Sky.

  “Mom, she means because she you know, with Ben,” Jana said.

  “Oh no dear, is that what you think?”

  Sky nodded.

  “Oh Baby, of course not,” Ms Georgie said and patted her hand. “Actually, I was hoping you and Ben would like each other.”

  Sky smiled and relaxed. Georgie smiled at Sky. If she did not know better, Sky was actually glowing. How she remembered those nights Edmond Sr. had her glowing.

  “If my sons are anything like their father, you girls will have some wonderful nights and days to look forward to,” she stated with a chuckle. Jana and Sky’s mouths dropped open, and then they looked at each other and sighed. Ms Georgie laughed. “Like I said I know my boys.” The three women laughed.

  “Sorry Ben for the short notice, but you were recommended, I hate to lose you for three months, but my hands are tied.” Admiral Holloway told.

  “Why didn’t they request Commander Johansson, he capable to defend these men?” Ben said.

  “Yes, but these boys are, General Thomas’s chosen marines and officers and the Colonel specifically requested you,”

  “What did they do?” Ben asked.

  “Well they damn near beat three men to death. Oh they will survive, but they are going to sue we all know that. What the colonel wants is for you to keep them from getting a court martial. Their willing to do t
ime, but he did not want them put out of the service. Now the lieutenants say the civilian’s started the fight, and they were just defending themselves.”

  “Sounds cut and dry to me,” Ben said.

  “Yeah, but they were not in a good area in San Diego, and the civilians there have no respect for our boys in blue, you know the rep of the Marines, anyway witness are saying the our boys started it, and I tend to agree with the colonel, court martial is a little steep. He needs you to prove they don’t deserve a court martial.”

  Ben sighed. “When do I leave?”

  “Tomorrow; you’re to report to General Thomas 1300 Camp Pendleton.”

  “Yes Sir.”

  “And Commander, thanks this is also a personal favor to me,” Admiral Holloway added. Ben saluted his superior and left the office.

  “Damn,” Ben said aloud back in his office. Any other time he would gladly go, but his life was changing. He didn’t want to leave Sky, not so soon. He wanted to get to know her, and three months was long time to be away from someone you really wanted to know. He had to tell her, he knew she would take it well, she was very understanding, that much he knew about her.

  Benjamin watched her lowered head. Oblivious to all around her, Sky had not heard him come in to the small tailor shop. He could see tendrils of her reddish-brown hair, framing the sides of her face. She was certainly intent on whatever she was doing. Every so often, her tongue would peek out and lay in the corner of her mouth. He had decided to surprise her and take her to lunch. Benjamin looked around the small shop. Everything was neatly organized. There were two sewing machines against the far wall, and some other funny looking machine. She was bent over a large table, which looks like it has some sort of measurements on it. On the opposite wall sat an ironing board, and a steamer, that was hissing steam from its small holes. Benjamin looked at the small woman intent on her task. She had a yellow measuring tape around her neck and some sort of bracelet with pins sticking out of the cushion on it.
