Chapter 802 The Puppy Love Of Benjamin Graham Unable to help herself, Arissa buried her face under the blanket as she sought to suppress her mounting hysterics.
The brows of the hapless Benjamin creased up ever so tautly at the sight of how vigorously her shoulders were shaking âThat was a long time ago, so I wouldnât even know what that girl looks like now. Does that still bother you?â
Under the impression that she was upset, he nervously tried to comfort her.
âThere, there.â
Benjamin stroked her head.
When Arissa poked her head out, her eyes were shining with amusement.
The stunned expression that flashed across Benjaminâs suave face was immediately supplanted by a discomfited look.
To think that while I thought she was sad, this woman was actually laughing at me!
Chuckling, Arissa then said in a soft voice, âDid you mistake a childhood crush for love?â
Benjamin glared at her before he turned over to lie down.
Sensing the manâs mild annoyance, she tried hard to restrain herself.
The notion of Benjaminâs first love occurring when he was so little came to her as a massive surprise.
A loving feeling roused within her as she approached and wrapped her hands around the manâs arm.
âI really didnât mean to laugh at you, so donât be mad. I was just...â
âGo ahead and laugh if you want to!â Benjamin growled.
Unable to contain herself, Arissa burst into a guffaw once more. âIâm so sorry!â
Stealing a glance at the way Benjamin pursed his lips had her again tickled.
âHavenât you seen each other again after you both grew up?â
Benjaminâs eyes darkened, albeit briefly. âShe hasnât returned to Dellmoor after she left.â
It occurred to Arissa that he still cared a lot for that girl. âHave you tried to find her?â
âWe lost contact a long time ago, so I wasnât able to.â
I wonder where that brat could be right now.
Not hearing a response from her, Benjamin turned to look at her. âShe was only like a little sister to me!â
The manâs explanation left little for Arissa to nitpick on.
âI used to have a childhood friend too. An older boy whose company I really enjoyed having while I was little, but we also havenât been in contact since.â
Benjamin frowned. âDo you still think of him?â
Eyeing the slightly jealous man, Arissa felt gleeful inside.
âThose were fun times, so of course I would!â
One would be bound to remember the delightful days of childhood for life.
Mildly peeved, Benjamin took ahold of her chin and leaned in with the intention of kissing her, but the sight of her dry and chapped lips caused him to pause.
What a bummer.
Arissa watched in astonishment as he abruptly turned and got off the bed. âWhere are you going?â
âTo get some cream!â
Unable to find any inside the room, Benjamin had no recourse but to leave the room and head downstairs.
While Arissa lay in bed staring at the delightful chandelier that hung overhead, she could not resist smiling.
She hugged the pillow that belonged to a certain individual while she giggled happily like a lovelorn adolescent.
Seeing the lovely smile on her face when he came in caused heat to enter Benjaminâs eyes.
Hastily, Arissa cast his pillow aside and rescinded the soppy grin that hung on her lips, and her eyes darted away in embarrassment.
The corner of Benjaminâs lips lifted slightly.
âYou may continue to hug my pillow!â
Arissa blushed.
âWould you let me hug you, Graham?â
Like a swirling whirlpool, Benjaminâs dark eyes had the irresistible ability to pull one in and leave one without means of escape.
As the mood grew amorous, Arissaâs heartbeat, too, started to fall into disarray.
âYou want a hug, huh.â
Permeating the manâs husky inflection was a certain element of suggestiveness.
Arissaâs cheeks ran hot. When she saw the cream in the manâs hand, she took the opportunity to change the subject. âAre you going to help apply that to me? Then hurry it up and do it!â
She then puckered her lips, oblivious of how alluring that gesture was to the man.
Benjamin forwent the cream and leaned in to kiss her directly.
Once he had tasted her sweetness, he could no longer hold back and proceeded to kiss her even more deeply.
Arissaâs heart was racing. She was lost in the moment, her will totally surrendered to the manâs passion.
Their necking only grew more fervent, making it harder and harder for them to rein themselves in.
Benjamin, however, was able to get himself under control.
While he took in her flushed cheeks intently, she had yet to recover her composure. Her lips were ruddy from the blood that seared beneath them.
Her lovely mouth was open as she panted, and the pinkness of her tongue within was made fleetingly visible.
Benjaminâs eyes darkened while the flames of arousal burned in them.
His willpower crumbled in an instant. Leaning in to capture her lips once more, he kissed her with more ardor than he had before.
