Thanks to all those who read the first part. I'm planning another part of this story as soon as I have an idea of where they go next. This part can stand on its own but if you want to get to know the characters better read part-1 first.
If you have any ideas of the direction you'd like to see them go in the future please leave a comment.
Generally, leave a comment anyway as it helps me a lot.
Without comments, the required work and direction can't be worked on.
Again, thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.
Ben and Charlotte lay on the bed in Ben's camper van. She was lying on her side with her back towards him. While he rested his head on his hand taking in her beauty. He used his other hand to lightly touch her. He ran his fingers up and down her arm slowly. Not wanting the closeness they'd just shared to be forgotten. Not wanting to say anything, but needing her to understand this wasn't just a "quick fuck".
"I won't leave him!" Charlotte said.
"Sorry?" Ben replied.
"I can't leave my husband I won't do that."
"I never asked you to." He gently replied.
"I tried before, but it didn't go well - I chickened out. I had my bags packed and everything but there was too much interference. There was too much pressure from not only him, but others too so I stayed put."
Ben thought she sounded resentful like she should have gone when she had the chance.
"What do you want from me, Ben? From this," she asked. "I can't offer you anything, no promises - nothing. Why would you want that?"
There was silence as Ben thought through his feelings for Charlotte to come up with an answer that would ease her concerns.
"If there's only going to be a little of this then I'll take it. That might sound like second best but that's not how I see it. I'm beginning to see what life would be like to have you all to myself, but if I can't have it all then I'll have what I'm given. I'm not greedy. I'd rather have a little than none at all.
Charlotte turned over onto her back, her head kept turning till she was looking directly at him. She smiled. Ben looked at her and then allowed his eyes to travel down to her breasts which were uncovered to him. He noticed the swell of them and her nipples. He realised that even though he had just made love to her he didn't look at her breasts at all. His eyes flicked back to her face not wanting her to think he was ogling her. His eyes returned to her and she smiled at him.
"Men," she said.
"Can you blame me?" Ben said smiling.
Charlotte looked at him quizzically, "I don't see what you see."
"That's because you've been trained under a different master. They were happy to view your worth in work and value alone. In hindsight, they probably should have spent their time looking for aspects to love about you. Now, all they can find are the bits that annoy them. They feel worthless as a person so they make sure you feel worthless too."
"What makes you think you're so different?"
"When I look at you I see your value, I see your worth in terms of how you make me feel. I know I'm happy when I'm with you so I want to be with you as much as possible. I feel content with you. I have to be honest no one has come into my life and turned it upside down like you have. I want to make you as happy as I am and I'll do that no matter what it takes if you'll let me?"
"I've already said Ben I won't leave my husband, I just can't do it. You'll never have me all the time. I wish it were different and I can hope and pray but.....!"
"Then I'll work part-time," Ben said.
Charlotte leaned over and kissed him. He moved his arm over her and pulled her in tightly against him. He could feel her breasts against his chest and he felt the points of her nipples rubbing on his skin.
"Ben I have to go, I'm so sorry but I must go. I could lay here with you all day with you, but I can't be gone that long. Questions will be asked of me."
Charlotte got up and slowly climbed down from the bed. She started dressing. Ben looked at her taking in her wonderful curves. He caught sight of her breasts as she put on her bra. She looked at him looking at her and she smiled.
"You look at me like I'm the only woman in the world." She paused momentarily as if trying to think back to exactly how long ago that was. "Do you know how long it's been since someone looked at me like that?" she asked. "You look at me like you want to eat me!"
Ben smiled and said, "I want to devour you Charlotte."
"Oh my god Ben! I need to get out of here or I'll never go home."
Ben smiled and got out of bed. He got dressed and then looked out of all the windows. No one was around so he told Charlotte it was safe to go. He told her he would check if itt was all clear then he would call her out of the van.
"When I go out if it's all clear I'll tell you and you just leave. Don't look back and don't hang around, just go okay?"
Ben opened the door and stepped outside.
"Ben, come back in the van, quickly!"
Ben wondered what was wrong and quickly got back in the van.
"I can't go without kissing you goodbye first," Charlotte said as she put her arms around him pulling him closer.
They kissed for a few seconds, then Ben left the van to make sure the coast was clear. He told Charlotte it was safe. She left the van and walked back the way she had come earlier.
Ben got back in his van walked up to his bed and smelt the pillow where Charlotte had laid her head. The thoughts of the morning seeped into his brain for the millionth time. He smiled at his stupid excuse of trying out the heater in his van. Seen through by Charlotte so easily and yet forgiven in an instant by her.
He tidied his van before driving back to his home. Thoughts of their next encounter already manifesting in his mind's eye.
It was lunchtime when he heard his phone make a distinctive sound that told him Charlotte had texted him. He looked at his phone.
Charlotte: Hi Ben, can I ask you something?
Ben: Of course anything xxx
Charlotte: Do you think bad of me for doing what I did with you in your van? I'm married for god's sake. What sort of woman does that kind of thing?
Ben: I don't think anything of what you did. I was part of it too so it's not like it's all your fault. I get the impression you are quite unhappy in your marriage and I guess he is too. I think it's a loveless marriage and yet you're still there! That must count for something. I guess what I'm trying to say is you are not a bad person Charlotte, only the situation is.
Charlotte: I'm not usually like this Ben. I'm fed up with living day by day with no one to take an interest in me. I started forgetting that I was a woman. I seemed to be living every day in a grey world. Nothing had colour or feeling anymore. I just wanted to feel those things I used to feel.
Ben: I think we feel the same but from different sides of the fence. Don't worry Charlotte I don't feel bad in any way about anything you've done or been. Quite the opposite xxx
Charlotte: Thank you, Ben. You have become very important in my life and I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me x
Ben: You're worrying too much Charlotte. I was going to ask you when we might be able to see each other again. No pressure, I'm just putting the idea out there. I know you have to be careful and have limited time but I want to see you again. x
Ben: And not just for sex. If you want we could go for a drink. I'll leave it up to you okay?
Charlotte: You know I want to see you again! Leave it with me. I felt so sexy when I left you today and by the time I got home, I was leaking you into my knickers. It felt so naughty. Is that bad Ben, I feel naughty now just telling you.
Ben: I like it when you're being naughty. Be naughty all you like, I love hearing how you feel.
Charlotte: I had a shower when I got home I was all alone everyone had already left for work. I stood in the shower and while I was washing I closed my eyes and before I knew it I was touching myself thinking about what we did! It's like I've found the key to a door that I thought was locked and the key was lost for good.
Ben: That's so sexy Charlotte
Charlotte: I love being able to feel sexy again. I had better go, Ben. Thanks for an amazing day I'll be thinking about what we did for a long time. Speak soon Ben xxx
Charlotte: One more thing. Sorry if my underwear was a little less than sexy. I've not had a reason to keep any sexy undies so that's why they were the plain Jane type xxx
Ben smiled at Chrlotte's text he knew what had to be done. He would buy her something that was more in keeping with who she wanted to become. The trouble is he didn't know her size and he wasn't going to guess it!
The following Saturday he was at the tea rooms. He ordered his usual and while this was going on Charlotte and he talked and made a few private jokes. Charlotte made a big thing of turning round to show him her arse as she bent down to get some more cups. All the while she smiled at him giving her bum a little wiggle. He found a table. He looked around, seeing the other customers sitting at the tables as if nothing had changed. And things hadn't changed on the outside. Everyone there was talkative and friendly as they always were. Charlotte did her thing, talking and joking getting the orders whilst being the perfect waitress. He thought there was a good chance that everyone in that room was happy or at least happier than perhaps last week. Or maybe his view of the world had changed slightly.
