'cause i'm bleeding out

Ben Richards. 34 "When the hour is nigh and hopelessness is sinking in, and the wolves all cry to fill the night with hollering. When your eyes are red and emptiness is all you know, with the darkness fed, I will be your scarecrow.

Flushing at the name Caci could feel the warmth spread across her whole bare body. God you really did it this time Cace, messed up royally, but you can do it just tell him it was a mistake. She told herself mentally prepping to lie to the one man that had managed to make her feel adored again. Moving her face from the pillow to face Bentley the words she prepared herself to say were long gone as soon as she saw his face. A goofy smile spread across her lips, “Morning handsome..” She replied back reaching up to place a hand on his cheek her thumb gently running across the apples of his cheeks. God if she thought he was handsome last night than in the morning he had to be god-like and everything about them being a mistake went in the trash because the blonde was positive that this didn’t feel like a mistake, but more so an awakening. “How’d you sleep? “ Inquisitive as ever she propped herself up on her elbow as her fingers trailed mindlessly from his cheeks to his jaw and back up. “Hopefully good.”

Bentley could feel her shuffling beside him; it was a new sense of feeling, mostly because he was either gone by the time women he slept with woke up or vice versa. Thinking on it, it never really bothered him to wake up alone until this precise moment. It felt nice to be able to wake up and someone be there beside him to greet him in his sleepy state, someone he admired so much. The male grinned as he felt her hand on his cheek, her thumb gently running across it. “I can’t say I have any complaints,” he chuckled, goosebumps arising as the blonde ran her fingers towards his jaw and back up again. “What about you, princess?”

[devyn-parker]

I can’t believe that you are actually with his girl in the first place to be honest, but I’m in no place to judge when I think of it. Sounds like he is a real piece of trash if he doesn’t treat his wife right.Of course you’re better than he is, I’ve seen you treat the evilest of women better than the sounds of what he’s doing. Yeah… My father probably would have kicked you out of the building and then gone through the whole exclude him from the circle like he did with Luca that one time. He gets under my skin. I didn’t really think that far ahead now that we are talking about it. Right? She’s a dream.

[bentleyxrichards]

I honestly can’t believe it myself either.. it just sort of, happened? I mean, is it wrong.. of course it is but then again I could be doing much worse things. I hate to admit it but when it comes to women, he really is. God, your father’s a real dick, sorry man. I still can’t wrap my brain around the whole arranged marriage thing.. this is the twenty-first century. Well I hope for your sake you see her again and get her name. That’d really suck if it were a one time thing to be honest. 

[cacixabrahams]

Rolling over closer to one side of the bed Caci honestly felt like she had been hit repeatedly by a train or at least that her head was. It didn’t even feel like she actually rolled over until her eyes connected with the smidgen of sunlight leaking through the curtains in the master bedroom. What all did I have to drink last night? She thought to herself struggling to run a quick hand through her tangled hair before giving up and sighing. She didn’t feel clean, yet Caci doubted she’d actually make it all the way to the bathroom with the lethargic feeling creeping into her bones. Hearing some rustling beside her and recognizing the warm touch of someone else’s body heat coming from next to her only then did she really began to remember what had conspired the night before. Freezing with widened eyes as it seemed every time she blinked she was swept back into the motions of last night. Please let this be a dream, let it be a really really good dream. Carefully not to wake up her bed partner, Caci turned to rest on her other side a gasp falling from swollen lips when she was met with a familiar mop of hair. Dropping her own face back into her pillow and mentally arguing with herself that she shouldn’t have done what she did, trying to mentally prepare what exactly she was going to tell her husbands best friend. Hell he’s her husbands best friend and she didn’t regret a single minute of it which made the hangover seem like a scrap compared to the guilt building within. 

[bentleyxrichards]

After Bentley’s rendezvous with the woman next to him the previous night, the man slept like a rock. He couldn’t say he had that good of sleep for a long while and deep down he liked to think it was because for a moment he found happiness, he just wasn’t sure how long it’d last due to the circumstances and that she was his best friend’s wife. Once the bright light of the sun hit his shut eyes, it took all of him not to cuss at the fact that it was morning. Groaning, the male stretched and scooted his body closer to the woman beside him. It took him a few moments to open his eyes and let them get accustomed to the brightness. Once taking in the sight of the blonde next to him, he smiled at her as if the situation wasn’t a risky one.  “Good morning, beautiful.” 

[devyn-parker]

Yeah he’s like your best friend or something like that right? At least you’re in a situation though that you enjoy to an extent and you’re happy. That’s what counts man is your happiness above it all you know? Thanks Bent, I needed to hear that. You’ve  got to be kidding me! When I told you about it you’re the one who high fived me for the gal. There’s a damn reason they ended so long ago in our history it’s bullshit. I didn’t catch her name now that I think back on it… Or maybe I did drink just too much. You don’t understand just how amazing she is… I don’t want it to be honestly there was something about the way she moved that wasn’t like anyone I’ve ever been with AND she could keep up an intelligent conversation.

[bentleyxrichards]

Yeah, something like that. I mean I feel bad that I’m with his girl behind his back but at the same time, he’s not that great of a husband - at least from what I’ve seen. I mean, he’s never there with her now and he treats her like shit most of the time. I may not be good but I’m damn better than he is. I keep telling myself  that. Of course. Ha well, it was all in obligations - your father was there and so was that girl, what else was I supposed to do, man? I don’t think disagreeing to it in front of your father and who ever else was in the room would’ve been a good idea. It is bullshit and I still can’t believe your dad agreed to it. You didn’t get her name? Well shit, how are you supposed to keep in contact with her now if you don’t want it to just be a one time thing? But sexy and intelligent all in one, that’s pretty good man. 

[devyn-parker]

Well damn… When are you going to introduce us or maybe show me a picture of this ‘gorgeous as fuck’ woman. Solid is really good though, at least it could potentially lead to more you know? Yeah all of them just need to cool it and back up. I haven’t screwed up or lost any money yet so I doubt I am this time. Pissed at you for not liking a girl who was just kind of thrown at me? Of course not, it certainly isn’t the type of engagement I thought I’d ever have. So the night of the party I went home– with someone else and honestly Ben I can’t get her out of head. She was so amazing and new and real… God I could go on, and it wasn’t just the sex that was surreal she was.

[bentleyxrichards]

Well, it’s a bit complicated actually. You remember my boy, Derek? I’m not sure if it will but honestly, I’d really like it to. But like I said, we’ll see.. things can happen from now till then and it’s not the most ideal situation I’d like myself in anyways. Exactly, instead of worrying about what you haven’t done, they should be proud of what you’ve accomplished. You’re great, dude and your work will pay off in the long run. Good because I really can’t stand her, man. Who would want an arranged engagement anyways? Shit dude, seriously? And here we all thought it was a massive headache. So who was the lucky gal? She that amazing? Is it just like a one time thing or what and which one was she anyways? Details, dude.

[cacixabrahams]

“And then what you would have taken me right then and there?” Caci egged on her face flushed from the kiss and erratic breathing. Moaning into the skin of his shoulder, she bit at his skin curse words stringing together at just the images of what he could be thinking about before she decided to just go with the flow.  Removing her head to look at him her bottom lip swollen and snug between her teeth. “Tell me.” Proudly taunting Caci smirked and then her eyes fluttered at his hand. One of her own reaching down to grip his wrist pushing towards where she wanted him. “God please just t-t-to-touch me.” Stuttering Caci opened her eyes to look at him with a look a succubus would be proud of.

[bentleyxrichards]

“You have no idea,” a smirk lined on his face, suggestion in his voice. He most definitely would have taken the opportunity so long ago, if only she had let him know her feelings much sooner than now. “First I would kiss you all over, no part of you going untouched,” he licked his lips as he whispered into her ear, leaving small kisses here and there. He swallowed as she gripped his hand, pushing it towards her. With her plead, he instinctively began to draw a finger near her. “After I’d kiss you everywhere, I’d do this,” and he began touching her.

[devyn-parker]

Damn… She must be something special then? Good for you though it’s about time you found just one person that entertains you for a second I thought you’d be a bachelor the rest of your life. Thanks I know that, but my dad still has doubts so in the long run I’m going to have doubts and if it was just him I’d be somewhat okay with it, but now Carla’s dad is getting involved and it’s just so infuriating. Oh damn then… My bad dude I didn’t mean to scare you guys. I can trust you right? I mean it’s not like you like Carla.

[bentleyxrichards]

Yeah dude, she’s gorgeous as fuck too like you wouldn’t believe. Truth be told it happened out of nowhere. For now it seems pretty solid but we’ll see; Wouldn’t go praising me yet. Your dad’s just doing that so he can have some sort of power over you to do your best and to not slack off. Carla’s dad’s always been the type to stick his nose in other people’s business, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. It’s fine man, like I said we just haven’t heard from you a lot and they wanted me to ask how you’re doing. Of course you can trust me, brother’s for life and all that. Would you be pissed if I said I didn’t like her? What’s up man?

[devyn-parker]

A new girl huh? Are you sure you’re not talking about I don’t know few girls come on. Yeah, I got really busy with work I need this project to wow everyone. Didn’t I tell you when I left? I could have sworn I said I had to take an early night. Everything is more than okay dude.

[bentleyxrichards]

You’re just as surprised as I am and it’s one girl and one girl only, crazy I know. Well I’m sure from all the other projects you’ve created, it’ll be just fine. Man, you’re one of the most talented architectures New York has to offer. No, I don’t think you told any of us actually. ‘Course we could’ve been too drunk to remember it though. Just wanted to be sure, you’ve seemed a little withdrawn from us.

[devyn-parker]

{ @bentleyxrichards }

Sorry I haven’t been returning your calls man, I got tied up with some stuff since the party.

[bentleyxrichards]

You and me both man -- been with this new girl for a bit. But the party’s the reason I’ve been calling, no one’s heard or really seen you since the party -- or even before it ended. Everything okay, man?

[cacixabrahams]

Giggling softly at his sloppy movements as Caci watched him hurriedly strip his shirt for her. Her laughter dispersing immediately as they picked back up where they were before her own tongue seeking some sort of refuge in his mouth as it darted around exploring him, tasting him for all that she could in the moment. Without much hesitation or thought Caci pulled away from the intoxicating kiss her chest rising in irregular patterns her head leaning to rest on his shoulder as his words effected her more than she believed a mans words could. “Me to….” She breathlessly admitted in a sultry tone of her own. Rocking herself against the male Caci whimpered. “So long.” Pressing a wet kiss to the tip of his collarbone nipping lightly. “Thought of you kissing me, touching me, just thought of you.” And she knew how wrong this was of them, and while she was quite positive her husband wouldn’t be coming home any time soon there was a certain part of it that made the moment that much more exhilarating. That they could be caught at any moment and Caci wouldn’t have cared as long as Bentley kept his hands on her. 

[bentleyxrichards]

Bentley let the blonde’s tongue explore his mouth before he took control of the kiss. It was rough but still gentle enough as to know show how much he really wanted or needed the woman. He panted as Caci rested her head on his shoulder for a moment. “You should’ve told me sooner,” the male responded, his hand entangling into her beautiful, blonde hair. The male bit his lip as he felt her rock herself against him. “You’ve no idea what I’ve been thinking,” he admitted, lust full in his eyes and voice as his other hand reached to touch just above where her pantie line would be.

[cacixabrahams]

Caci couldn’t suppress the soft moan that left her caused by his nibbling, she hadn’t been kissed this way– hell kissed alone in what felt like years. She was starved for some kind of attention any, and if it was coming from Bentley it killed two birds with one stone. She let her hand fall to the hem of his pants tugging at his shirt to suggest that she wanted it off all the while her lips staying attached to his never losing that contact. Running her tongue along the seam of his lips Caci trying to coach him into opening for her hooking one ofher legs around him as she pressed herself against him. A true moan falling from her at the sensation.

[bentleyxrichards]

Bentley couldn’t help but smile at the soft moan that came from the blonde’s mouth. He wanted to be the one to kiss and touch her and now that time was finally here and the man truthfully couldn’t believe it. He took her tugging at his shirt as a sign to take it off, so he did; Quickly and rather sloppily he threw his shirt off, it landing onto the lamp next to them. His lips parted at Caci’s tongue, allowing her entrance inside of his mouth. His hand went up to the small of the woman’s back as to hold her in place as she hooked one of her legs around him. He let out a moan of his own. “I’ve been wanting this for so long,” he murmured, his voice low and husky with need.

[bentleyxrichards]

cacixabrahams:

Gasping quietly Caci physically jumped at the touch of his lips, her heart stopping in her chest. She was shocked despite their banter she never actually thought Bentley would give into her though she wasn’t complaining. Regaining her footing in her own head Caci leaned into the warm male, her hand clenched into his shirt as she kissed him back. Bentley had always been someone she lusted after, even when she wasn’t married and she could have had a chance before this she wanted him. He excited her in ways no one ever had. Tugging lightly on his bottom lip, Caci unclenched her fist tangled in his shirt and trailed it down to his hip pressing herself against him completely while she nibbled at his bottom lip.

His brows furrowed as the blonde jumped back from his touch and for a moment he believed perhaps he had made the wrong decision – after all, her husband and his best friend could walk in on the two at any given moment and things could be over for the both of them. Bentley could feel his lips tugging into a smile when she leaned back into him. Thoughts were already swarming his head when she tangled her fist into his shirt. As she traced the same hand down to his hip and pressed herself against him, he groaned, nibbling at her bottom lip as well.

cacixabrahams:

Caci believed her heart lurched forward at the attention she was getting from Bentley and god was this so wrong. So very very wrong, but it had been months since she had been shown any sort of attention and god forbid her from turning it away. Licking her bottom lip slowly she produced a shrug having her hands stop on her collarbones to fall forward onto his chest. Feigning innocence Caci ran her finger up the center of his chest her heart beating furiously at the simple exchange. “I think you know.” She whispered into his ear, her lips brushing the lobe while her stomach did twists and flips.

Bentley couldn’t remember a time that one girl had ever made him feel this way once before. Others gave him such a light feeling; Girls that were easy for him to get rid of, ones he’d never look at twice. But Caci was different and if he had his way, she’d be his and he wouldn’t dream of dropping her. He licked his lips as she ran her finger up to the center of his chest, shivers sent down his spine once he felt her lips brushing against his earlobe. Her single sentence and gesture was all the confirmation Bentley needed and in one second his lips were on hers, not before replying “You’re right.”

[bentleyxrichards]

cacixabrahams:

A silent shiver ran through her body at his question, and while she knew this was wrong– the worst thing a wife could ever do to her husband would be to flirt with his best friend in the manner she was. Then again she wouldn’t be doing it if her husband was home. Turning her body to face Bentley, Caci leaned against the bar running her finger over her collarbones as if she was seriously contemplating an answer. “Mmmhmm…” She whispered hotly her green eyes growing dark with lust for a man she really shouldn’t be lusting after. “So many things.” Carefully taking a drink of the wine she kept eye contact with the male next to her leaving the excess on her lips instead of licking it away. 

Chills ran down the man’s body as he watched her lean against the bar running her finger over her collarbones. If only the blonde realized what she was doing to him -- the things that clouded his mind when she was around, even when his best friend was around. He knew these thoughts about his best friend’s girl was wrong but then again he also knew that her husband didn’t truly deserve her. Bentley swallowed, slowly getting him from his seat and walking closer towards her as if he were interested in those things. “Could you tell me what things?” he questioned further, knowing this question would probably get him into trouble. 

[bentleyxrichards]

cacixabrahams:

Grinning proudly Caci licked her bottom lip pouring herself another glass of wine. “Just this once of course.” She agreed despite the wicked ideas filtering into her head because if he actually thought she meant it would be a naive move. Her husband was rarely around, so Caci believed she deserved the nights quite like these when her phone would ring around midnight to tell her he couldn’t make it. Sucking in a deep breath, she brought the glass to her red lips sipping the sweet wine while keeping eye contact with the male in front of her. Swiping the excess from the corner of her lips, she shrugged. “There’s a lot Derek doesn’t need to know.” She murmured her voice heavier than she meant for it to be as she by passed him to get into the living room.

His eyes never left the blonde in front of him and he tried his damnedest not to let them wander where they shouldn’t – but of course he couldn’t help himself when she wasn’t paying attention. "Just this once,” he agreed with her as he took a swig of his beer. Bentley watched as she took a sip of the sweet liquid, his eyes on her own. His tongue poked out to lick his lips. He could hear the heaviness in the woman's voice and thoughts began to cloud his mind, a hint of lust glowing in his eyes. "Oh really?" He questioned, a raise of his brow – though deep down he knew he shouldn't have egged the subject on.

[bentleyxrichards]

cacixabrahams:

Blushing slightly at the totally wrong name, Caci nodded slowly. “Yeah… That one. Sorry Bentley I really thought her name started with an A, but can you blame me? You never have a serious one so how could I possibly learn names when they’re always changing.” Arguing her point, Caci raised an eyebrow at her question. Mustering the sweetest smile she had she even batted her eyelashes at her husband’s best friend. “Oh, Bentley I am positive it is a good idea… How about if you think I’ve had too much you take it?” Offering a simple solution Caci tugged her bottom lip between her teeth as she leaned a little forward over the counter, a good amount of her cleavage on display. “I won’t tell if you don’t” 

Bentley chuckled at the blonde in front of him. He rose his hands up in surrender, a grin on his face. “Hey, no need to apologize,” his head shook. He knew Caci had a point and even though at some point he did want to settle down, he’s never really thought about doing it right now -- that and he hasn’t met the right one yet, he doesn’t so think so at least. “Yeah, yeah.. I get it,” he replied, making sure she knew he really did. He watched her bat her eyelashes at him and smiled. “Okay, but just this once.. “ he noticed as she leaned over the counter that a bit of her cleavage was showing. He cursed himself -- or moreso her -- trying to keep his eyes off of her chest as much as he could. “And Derek does not need to know I let you drink so much,” he admitted.
