Chapter 991 - The cost of freedom (6) (2/2)

She moved closer to him. ”It's OK.”

He groaned when she straddled him, and her hips moved while she grinded on him.

”Are you sure? Is it safe?”

”Yeah…” She sealed his lips with hers while her hand reached lower and guided him inside her.

Their lustful sounds mixed when he got all the way in.

He grabbed her buttocks and lifted them slightly, just enough to pound himself inside her from below.

He enjoys the sight of her flushed face, and her firm breasts bouncing, and her sounds… His Penny is usually quiet like she is trying to hide her presence, but she makes wonderful sounds when she gives in to her lust, and he can distinguish smallest of changes which tell him that she is getting close to her climax. And he is getting close also... the raw feeling of her wet heat clutching him tightly is impossible to resist.

Harriet's moans morphed into cries and he was right behind her with last few trembling thrusts, each slower than the previous one, as he released himself inside her.

She laid on top of him, her breaths mixed with his. And they stayed like that for some time without a word.

She looked at him and smiled. ”Ben… I love you.”

His eyes opened in surprise and he embraced her. He knew that she has feelings for him, but love? He was not confident. And he thought that she will never say it… but she did.

He rolled them both over and ended up on top of her.

”Penny… I love you more.”, he murmured.

He inched closer and kissed her smiling lips few times lightly before deepening the kiss.

They made love several times that night.

…

In the morning…

”I'm confident that you understand that this is the best solution…”, Harriet told Benjamin when she ended her explanation.

When they woke up, they enjoyed morning cuddles and the breakfast, and then she called him to sit and asked him to listen and not to interrupt her until she is done… and she told him that they should separate.

Back to present…

Benjamin is staring at the carpet. He knows that Harriet is right. If he stays with her, Becca will think that he died, because his ex-wife will be all over the police as soon as the alimony does not arrive. And even if few months later he 'resurrects' in front of Becca, that will not change the fact that the child suffered when she found out that her father died. He also understands Harriet's point that if they stay together, he might put her in danger, because there is a chance that someone will recognize him. Over the years he made many friends in the city, can he avoid all of them? How will he know which ones of them are being watched by her parents?

But this does not make it any easier… Penny is his sunshine. And he thought that this time they can finally be together, and last night she told him that she loves him… and now this.

How can he pretend not to know her if they bump into each other by accident?

”Five months?”, he asked dejectedly.

”At most.”, Harriet responded. ”When it's safe, Sarah will let you know where you can find me… I will be waiting.”

…

Harriet stood at the window and hugged herself while watching through the tears which blurred her vision a black car with tinted windows driving away from the villa. Her Ben is inside. And no matter how much she is hurting, Harriet knows that this is for the best, because if anyone should pay the price for her freedom, that should be her.
