#and Ben was just like hey 😏

[ceph-the-ghost-writer]

📕If there was a book about their sexuality, what would it be called?

@sunset-a-story Thank you for sending this in! I'll answer this for Ben Zebrowski.

This title could go a lot of different ways, depending on who's writing it and why, but I like the sound of something like A Knight of the Twilight Aristocracy. First, because "The Twilight Aristocracy" is such an evocative term for Prohibition-era gay men/queer people. Second, it could be taken as a hint about Ben becoming a vampire as well as him coming to terms with being bisexual in 1930s/40s America.

Ben got into being a thug for Prohibition smugglers and brewers/distillers starting in his teen years. Luckily, instead of going on to commit increasingly violent crimes or winding up in prison, Ben fell in with Desmond Walsh, a former cowboy turned vampire and community leader. Also, notably, gay af. Through him, Ben came into contact with people from all walks of life and uhhhh used his skills at fisticuffs for protecting his friends as well as for profit. Anyway, hanging out with so many different people really broadened his horizons and got him to consider his own gender and sexuality as a young man. By the time he was in his late 20s and became one of Desmond's vampire fledglings, Ben had unlocked cis+ and was on his way to becoming feared by the Coven not only for his viciousness in a fight, but for seducing agents away from the cause.

Dirty Shirlies - Julien Baker x fem!Reader

Sypnosis: Julien doesn't like when randos talk to her girl (possessive!julien in the house)

G's notes: this is a combination of like four requests, i am down to do a part 2 if y'all want it😏also unedited

WC: somewhere around 875 words (short king!)

Warnings: RPF, greta van fleet x boygenius crossover, alcohol, smutty language, no fundamental physical descriptors?

The bar was loud, people talking over the already deafening music, the lights hot and bright. It was almost comical, watching your friends and their partners attempt to dance on the small dingy floor. You're actually still shocked that your girlfriend wanted to come tonight, the idea of spending a night off in a bar in downtown Nashville, a bar full of straight dudes no less, made you giggle. You've lost sight of Julien, who left to go get you drinks only a minute and a half ago. 

“I don’t see your pipsqueak,” Jake snorts, getting on his tip toes to look over the large group of people. 

“Don’t let Jules hear you say that,” Josh chides his brother, looking at you, eyes shining and wide in jest. 

“What is she gonna do? Hit me?” Jake says, laughing loudly. 

“You don’t know my girl, she can get scrappy,” you tease, also looking over the sea of people trying to locate your girlfriend. “She’ll be fine…right?” you ask nervously, biting your bottom lip. 

“I’ll go get her,” Jake says, downing the rest of his beer, patting you and Josh on the back, going to search for his tattooed doppleganger. 

“Josh!” Phoebe calls, your friends pointing to the ceiling as his favorite song plays. Josh looks over at you, biting his lip, eyes moving into puppy dog territory quickly. “Just go,” you laugh, watching him down the rest of his salty dog before shouting, “Move over Luce,” and making his way to the dance floor. 

As quick as he left, his spot at the bar is taken. Your back towards the new occupant, eyes searching for any sign of Julien. “What’re you drinking?” a deep voice asks. You turn around, slightly startled, and see a tall man. His smile is kind, greenish eyes sparkling as they look around your face. 

“Oh um, a dirty shirley,” you respond smiling. “Tequila or vodka?” he asks. 

“Tequila…vodka is not my friend,” you joke. 

He lets out a belly laugh, shaking his head lightly before sticking out his hand. “I’m Ben, and I’m the exact opposite.” 

You laugh softly, “Really? How funny! I’m–” 

“Here you go baby,” Julien says, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, putting a new drink on the bar in front of you, kissing your jaw softly. 

Jake appears to Julien’s left, smirking at the tightness in her voice, patting her back. 

“Who’s this?” Julien asks, taking a swig of her beer. 

“Oh this is Ben, he’s anti-tequila,” you joke, watching your girlfriend’s jealous eyes. Your hand rubs her back up and down, feeling her tense up makes you frown. 

“I’m Julien, her girlfriend,” Julien says, sticking one heavily tattooed arm out, hand ready to shake Ben’s. 

Ben gulps, despite being at least a foot taller than your girlfriend, Julien’s glare runs through him, her eyes narrowing as she gives him a firm handshake. 

“This is Jake,” Julien says, dropping his hand. 

“Hey man,” Jake greets, lifting his hand up in a subtle wave. 

“Well it was nice to meet you all,” Ben says, collecting his beer and walking away. He turns back to look at you, as you give an apologetic smile. 

“Well…” Jake says awkwardly, lifting onto his tip toes. 

“Don’t even,” you start, not wanting Jake and Julien to get into it right now, the teasing smile on Jake’s face tells you everything you need to know. 

“Yeah yeah, sure, I’ll go find the girls and Josh… you’re definitely not jealous Jules,” Jake says as he walks away. 

“I’m gonna kill him,” Julien mutters, moving to stand in front of you, standing in between your legs at your spot on the barstool. 

“Oh stop… wait were you actually jealous? Babe!” you exclaim, laughing. 

“Shut up,” Julien murmurs, shoving her face in your neck and kissing it softly. 

“Baby,” you chuckle, pushing her hair out of her face, kissing her lips and cheeks, your hand squeezing her cheeks softly. “He said like… 5 words to me,” you reassure her. 

“Yeah, 5 words too many,” she murmurs sassily. 

“Julien!” 

“What? I can’t even leave you at the bar for 5 minutes by yourself without some guy trying to take my girl,” Julien exclaims.

You giggle, “he wasnt trying to take me!”

“You don’t know how pretty you are, baby,” Julien breathes out, her hands sliding up your thighs, settling on your hips, her lips sucking softly at your neck. 

A soft moan escapes you before you can stop it, you can feel Julien smiling on your skin. “You only moan for me, right, pretty girl? You’re all mine,” she murmurs, her teeth nipping at you gently. 

“I–” you breathe out, hand in Julien’s hair. 

“Answer me,” Julien interrupts, sucking a hickey in between your neck and shoulder. 

“M’all yours Jay,” you whimper softly, eyes closing. 

“Good girl, now finish your drink,” Julien smirks, pulling away. 

You grab the drink, confused, sipping through the tiny straw. “Why?”

“Because as soon as you’re done, we’re going to say bye to our friends and then we’re going home and I’m going to fuck the living daylights out of you,” she says in an even tone, kissing your nose innocently. 

Your jaw drops softly, moving to chug the drink, Julien laughing at your eagerness. “That’s my girl.”

randomuser i wonder how she’s allowed to wear the stuff she wears, i mean not in this one obviously but she always wears revealing clothes and Timothée is a jealous man.

chalafann bruh he always supports her and he has no right to speak about what she wears, which is the fact that he’s aware, hell he probably wears even more revealing clothes than her lol. And Timothée is jealous yes, but not toxic.

miramelbourne’s story

[zepskies]

Hi! I would love to hear what Ben thinks of the reader's music and what HIS favorite music is. Just picturing a grumpy, old Ben grumbling about "music nowadays" 😂

Hey there, lovely Anon!

Ohohooo, what a great question. 😂 I too can imagine Mr. Grouch trying to understand modern music:

I briefly explored this in Part 5 of Break Me Down, when they're (playfully) arguing about music:

And you talked—about the old-ass TV shows he never got to see the end of, and the new music he hated. You’d enjoyed (gently) teasing him about being an old man who didn’t understand Cardi B when you played it on his phone. You suspected he didn’t quite understand how all the bells and whistles worked on an iPhone yet. (But he’d taken it back from you before you could text anyone.) “In my day, there was a little more fucking class,” he’d said. “Sinatra. Nat King Cole. Christ, the fucking Beatles.”  You’d rolled your eyes at that. You liked all those guys too, actually. But that didn’t mean you couldn’t bang out all the words to “Bodak Yellow” and “Please Me.”

😂 A little more fucking class indeed, Benjamin.

As a more general Soldier Boy (Ben) x Reader situation, I explored Ben vs. 90s music in this imagine: Taking Ben to a 90’s themed club.🕺🏻

A highlight from that one:

For a while he just sits at the bar with you while you catch up with your friends. You're so damn excited, he can tell. The inside of the club is interesting, he supposes, with dim lighting and a DJ on the stage with a very sophisticated looking setup that Ben finds wholly unfamiliar. The music, however, is ass so far. What the fuck is this, Hip Hop? Rap? R&B? He can't tell, and he doesn't know any of the songs. It sounds like a bunch of fucking whining. And don't get him started on whatever you call grunge.

But as for Ben's favorite music...

It's my headcanon that he personally identified with the likes of Frank Sinatra ("My Way"), Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Mel Torme, Nat King Cole, etc. He definitely would've come into adulthood on that and sought to emulate their lifestyle, not just like their music.

Him coming up in the 40s, he probably would've (secretly) liked a bit of Doris Day and Ella Fitzgerald. (In BMD world, it would probably remind him of his mother.)

But there's also some edge to him. He would've embraced some "free love" to to speak lol, so getting through the 60s and 70s, I think he would've liked the Beatles, Rolling Stones, maybe some Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Aerosmith coming into the 80s.

Interestingly, from that scene in the Legend's penthouse we know he had Air Supply on in the background, so maybe he's secretly into some classic love songs from the 70s/80s. 😂 Maybe some Bee Gees, Spandau Ballet, stuff like that...

Though God forbid someone try to tease him about it.

Especially when he starts to dip into some of your music when you're not looking. 😏

Things you said... 'when we woke' for Benny? Juno xx

Juno, Juno, Juno, you know there's only one way this is gonna go. And I know you won't mind that at all. 😏 Rating this E to be on the very safe side, though we're not going too deeply into the smut. Also adding a warning to people who are not here for references to a throuple situation or for references to an established f/f relationship. If you've been following me a long time, you'll recognize Darlene. I've had a bit of a thing on my hands lately as I came to realize that Benny would not only fit with her, but would likely be a much better match for her than her previous pairing. Consider this me taking that idea for a spin!

Things you said... when we woke

She is used to waking up alone. To stretching out amid pillows and rumpled sheets and finding the spot beside her already void of warmth. Lottie rarely lingers in the morning – rolls out of bed and gets ready faster than any girl – and leaves it up to her to start the day on her own.

Darlene knows something is different when she wakes to a hand in her hair. Wakes to the lingering scent of smoke and an exhale that is too deep-voiced to be Lottie’s. Wakes to warmth beside her, early morning sunlight coating bare skin in soft gold, and to someone who’s succeeding at detangling even her most stubborn curls.

“Hey there.”

“Hey yourself,” she grins, stretching out beside Benny DeMarco and kicking the last of the sheets down to her feet. “Mornin’ smoke?”

He exhales. “Passes the time.” His smile comes easy. Soft. “Can’t complain about the view, either.”

Darlene shakes her head as heat slowly suffuses her body. “Stop sayin’ things like that, Ben,” she complains, wrinkling her nose and pushing herself upright. “You’re gonna make me blush again.” She’d blushed something fierce last night, especially when Lottie had added her own praise to his words. “But”– she says now, drinking the sight of him in fully –“you’re damn right about the view being nothin’ to sneeze at.”

That, at least, earns her a laugh and a shake of his head as well. He doesn’t blush – not even after Lottie had tried her best to make him – but does avert his gaze as he moves to put his cigarette out. Darlene rakes a hand through her hair as she watches him, all broad shoulders and thighs that should simply…

“Hey now,” he chuckles as she moves to straddle him, “good morning to you too.”

“Do ya mind?”

He grins up at her. “Do I look like I do?”

“I dunno,” she shrugs, biting her lip a little at the heat that flares to life in his gaze. “Don’t wanna assume… I mean,” she says, gesturing at the rest of the room, “with Lot already out the door an’ all…”

“Surprised me with that,” he grunts, squeezing her thigh. “Ace rushed off like all the devils from hell were chasing her this morning. Tiptoed a little not to wake you, but…”

She tries not to let it sting. “She does that.” Usually not when there’s a fella in our bed, though. “I’m a lil slower in the mornin’. Lot’s always first to leave. Ya get used to it.” She half-shrugs at that. “If you… If you wanna leave, too, that’s all right?”

“You’re gonna have to kick me out of this bed if you want me to go.”

“Oh do I?”

“Yeah, sweetheart,” he laughs, “I’m not even sure I can walk in a straight line right now.” His eyes are bright with mirth as his hand comes to rest on her lower back. “Not sure I want to, either. Goddamn, you two damn near killed me.”

“Ya kept pace with us,” she retorts archly, leaning forward to kiss his cheek. “Ain’t another fella out there who can say that. You’re good people, Benny DeMarco. Even if ya got that mouth on ya”– she grins before kissing him on it, all closed lip and heat –“and absolutely no shame at all, sittin’ up in a bed that ain’t yours like this,” she teases, letting her fingertips skim across his belly, “naked as anythin’, all fucked out”– except he’s not, if his sharp intake of breath is anything to go by, and that just makes her smile –“or… wantin’ more?”

“You’re one to talk,” he says, shamelessly eyeing her, “climbing on top of me like that”– and his hands are roaming, wandering, pulling her closer –“Jesus, look at you,” he sighs, voice going softer than she good and well thinks she deserves to hear, “I’m never gonna want to resist this.”

“Ben–”

His kiss is languid. Gentle, even, with him brushing stray curls out of her face before his hand comes to skim the underside of her breast. “More of this,” he affirms, “if you want…”

She nods, wordless, as he kisses her again. Wraps her arms around his neck, just like she’d dared last night when they’d been out for drinks and he’d been flirting back a little too pointedly to ignore. And it’d been a little hassle then, getting him to realize that Lottie was in on this – had been smirking at them half the evening, knowing how the night gonna go – but he’d not missed a single beat since. She smiles at the memory. Presses closer to him still, kissing his cheek and jaw and neck and–

“Darlene,” he murmurs, voice almost cracking, “stay fucking still, you’re…”

“Feeling very wanted right now,” she grins, feeling his full-body response to her pressing against him like that. Heat pools between her own legs at the realization, answered by a sudden flash of warmth in her lower belly. “God, Ben, just one more time, you an’ me, all right?”

He smiles up at her. “Like I’d say no?”

“I dunno…”

“Never. Never ever gonna say no to you.”

He makes it sound like prayer. Like some sort of talisman he keeps, with her arms around his neck acting like its chain. Her belly swoops as though she’s airborne – and maybe that’s how he feels, flying that bomber, like that giddy feeling that’s taking root inside of her now. There’s a vow in it she doesn’t want to listen to for too long. If heard like that, she might believe more than she should.

She nuzzles his cheek. Kisses him again, long and slow and wanting. “Want me to stay like this?” she checks, to his insistent nods that make her laugh out loud. “Can ya reach the draw–”

“I’m just here to grab my”– interrupts another voice to her right, so suddenly that Darlene almost squeaks out offense –“well, fuck me.”

Benny is the first to recover, and does so rather admirably. “Grab what?” he asks, peering at the doorway. “Didn’t think you were coming back this morning.”

“Yeah,” says Lottie, judgment coloring every inch of her now that Darlene looks at her, “that much is clear.” Her girlfriend, blonde hair raked back into a haphazard ponytail, leans against the doorframe. Eyes them almost the same way she did last night, though right now her face is marred by a slight frown that deepens the longer she stands there. “Jesus,” she whistles sharply, in a way that makes Benny lean against the headboard and close his eyes a moment, “you’re still going at it?”

Darlene frowns back. “Just enjoying my mornin’,” she retorts archly, making sure her tone stings. You could’ve enjoyed the same if you really wanted to. God knows you do it all the time when I’m gone. “Did ya leave somethin’ here?”

“Yeah.” Lottie’s voice is sharp in turn. Her words almost a snap as she reaches out to grab her flight jacket off the chair by the door. She doesn’t linger. “Looks like I left my senses.”

The door slams shut behind her. Too loud. Too quick.

“Hey,” murmurs Benny, fingers brushing her cheek now that Darlene’s gone and flinched at the sound, “everything all right?”

It’s hard to look at him. Hard to see the concern in his eyes – really, are you okay? – that now translates into how gentle he makes his touch. Darlene bites her lip. Takes a breath that’s a little too noisy as she feels her eyes begin to sting. Good going, Lot, you’re fucking me up here.

“She’s just spittin’ mad,” she breathes as she wraps her own fingers around that stubborn curly strand of hair on his forehead, “that I didn’t kick ya out yet.” She braves a smile. Meets his eyes. “Ain’t your problem, all right? Between me and her.”

It’s hard not to like him even better than she already does when he gives her a tiny nod. “All right.” Just like that. No pushing. No getting involved. Just his acceptance, and the only question she’d expect him to ask. “Do you want me to go, now?”

Darlene raises an eyebrow. “Do ya think you’re in a position to leave, Ben?” She laughs as he actually glances down at his lap, then back up at her. Catches how his eyes darken with the motion. How his arm tightens around her waist. “That’s what I thought.” She can’t help but sound a little bit smug at that. “Weren’t we in the middle of somethin’ here?”

“You were starting something,” he corrects idly, pulling her even closer. His own laugh is almost breathless. “Again.”

“Oh was I? What was I star– ohhhh.” She sighs as his free hand moves down between her legs and his fingers find that sweet, sweet spot that almost makes her eyes roll back in pleasure. “I remember now,” she breathes, shifting in his lap a moment until he’s hard and wanting beneath her in a way that’s got him muffling a curse against her skin, “I was starting somethin’ that ends with you inside of me, wasn’t I?”

“Oh were you,” he smiles back, eyes warm and bright as his fingers already slip inside her and leave her gasping. “Like this? Or…”

“Goddamnit, Benny,” she admonishes, to his answering chuckles, “you know I want your cock.” She’s brazen about that the way she’s been with him since last night – he ain’t a shy fella, after all – and he’s smiling up at her about it all the same. Smiling up at her with an almost impish delight as his fingers curve up inside her like they did when his mouth was on her. “Come on,” she almost wheedles, unable to keep a slight whine out of her voice, “lemme take it nice and slow, Ben…”

“Nice and slow for the morning, huh?”

Darlene nods, smiling, as his next exhale ghosts over her lips before he kisses her. Nice and slow, so I can remember being with someone who wanted me first.

She doesn’t say that part out loud.

[pretty-little-mind33]

Hey little lady!

Saw you saying you’d consider writing for other ATJ characters.

James from A Million Little Pieces would be interesting. Probably lots of angst and stuff.

Maybe Ben from Savages? I know in the movie he poly. Those damn gifs of him from that movie make my brain short circuit.

But anyway. I know you said you haven’t seen some of his movies. But I live A Million Little Pieces. The books is amazing and beautiful and he did a great job in that movie. (It hits home for me because it’s about substance abuse and addiction. Something I’ve battled through most of my adult life, until 2 years ago.) but yeah it’s just a meaningful character to me, as I’ve had ideas and scenarios for that character in the past.

If you do wanna write for either character or would be interested in just hearing ideas, let ya girl know!

hii lovie!

i haven't seen Savages yet and i keep on forgetting that movie exists lmaoo (have seen the gifs tho and 😏)

however, i have seen A Million Little Pieces (i can't believe it slipped my mind from including it in the last post 😭) and i did really enjoy the movie. obviously the themes are quite heavy so i've been super hesitant about writing for him since i don't have experience with substance abuse and i wouldn't want to be insensitive towards anyone with my writing! especially on such a topic

but if you'd like to send in a prompt, i can see if i feel like i can write it for you (for James I mean, because as i said haven't seen Savages lol)

(maybe you can even beta-read it if i write something 🥺?)

Love island

A/N: I got super bored and I was on an love island binge and got really inspired to the point where I decided to make a story out of it I wanted to do like a mini series off of this but I’m not sure just know there is gonna be a part two with smut😏

Another note: In this it’s not y/n the character actually has a name so yea I’ve actually had this written for longer than you think but I just decided not post it until now and I didn’t proof read this either so- if there’s something i miss spelled or it doesn’t sound right mind your business!!!! 😭😭😭✋🏽

You used to watch love island with your family every week there was a new episode you were so excited when you got the call that you will be on love island

“Oh my godddd mir!!!!!” Your sister said excitedly

“I know I fly out there in a couple of days!!” You said it was true you had to fly out there soon because you we’re gonna be one of the new arrivals

On the plane ride you kept thinking about how awesome this was and you were excited if anything there was one boy that you did have interest in

And that was Jack

You thought he was cute

Watching him on the island you knew he’s the one you wanted to go for

When you got off the plane you weee met with a person driver he greeted you before putting you stuff in the trunk and opening the door for you

The ride was a little long but it was also peaceful

Once you got there you couldn’t believe it You knew that you weren’t going into the villa right away because they had the girls go out for drinks while the boys stayed and…. Did boy things

You did you introduction about your self while waiting you met two of the other girls

Bee and Abby

“Hii I’m mir nice to meet you girls” I said they both smiled

“Your really pretty” Bee said in her Australian accent

“Thank you so much” you said

“I fucking love your hair how did you do that” Abby said

You laughed You explained to her how you did my hair until it was time for you guys to go into the villa

All the girls were nervous but they pushed it aside walked straight in

“Heyy boys” bee shouted at them they all shouted

They walked over to them

You were a bit nervous but you were so happy because you finally get to meet Jack after crushing over him on tv

“Hey I’m mir nice to meet you all” you said they All smiled at you but one of them stuck out

“I can’t believe this is happening” Aj said he was a cute boy he had a fro a couple of tattoos

Eventually all the boys settled down you wanted to talk to him so bad you talk to bee about it

“Girl your in here for a reason I really think you should try and talk to him while the girls are still gone” she said and she was right you weren’t really gonna have time to talk to him with Diamond all over him

“Alright I’m gonna do it” you said she hyped you up about it you walked over to where he was sitting

“Can I sit” you said

“Sure” he smiled

“Hii I’m mir nice to me you” you said obviously he knew who you were because you already said that but you wanted to start a conversation

“Jack nice to meet you” you thought you we’re gonna melt he was so cute

“So how are things in here besides the obvious” I said

“I mean for me it could be better” he said

If one thing you’ve been keeping you know that diamond said she didn’t know how she felt about her and Jack she was playing with his feelings

Maybe you coming into the villa you would change things

“Look I’m gonna just be straight forward I came in here for you” I said

“Oh wow okay!!!” I nervously laughed

“Yea I’ve been watching and I know who I have my eye on” you said

“Well I’m open to try” he said smiling at you

Wanting to just kiss him so bad you knew you couldn’t because it’s really too early and you just met

“Well I’ll catch you later jack gonna go talk to more people” you said

You walked around getting to know the other boys there was Ben,Aj,mark,Alex ,and Jack

And honestly out of all of them you still wanted jack

You were talking with Alex when you heard the girls come back they all look puzzled to see three new girls talk to there men

One of the girls came running to you her name was Alison

“Omg welcome!!!” She said she was really sweet

“Thank you so much”

All the girls greeted you except the diamond she just stood there you got the impression and you already knew you wanted to try to talk to her and see for your self

“Heyy” you said

“Hi” she said kinda dry

“I’m mir nice to meet you” you said holding out your hand but she swiped it away

“Mhm” she said walking away

Unsuccessful if you ask me

The day went on it and night time began

You were sitting by yourself collecting your thoughts thinking about how this experience was gonna go you felt someone sit next to you looking over you smiled

“ so how has you experience in the villa been so far” jack said

“Ehh besides one of the girls not liking me” you paused for a second

“Good I’m liking it just a little bit” you said

“That’s great” but before he could say something somebody had gotta a text

“I GOT A TEXTTTT” they yelled

Jack and Mir both ran over to them

“Tomorrow all the boys will get a chance to talk to the 3 new girls

#newgirls #changingthegame” Alex said

You smiled you had been talking to Jack but you wanted to get to know him even more so going on a date with him and getting to know him was the perfect thing for you

Art Class (Reylo Drabble)

Summary: Rey’s art class heats up when her work rival shows up as the nude model.

Pairing: Rey/Ben

Rating: M

Continuity: Modern AU

A/N: A silly little drabble based on a prompt from Moem on Bluesky 🙂 Check out my new multi-chapter fic No Body, No Crime, where Assassin!Rey is tasked with taking out Senator!Ben and the mission does not go as planned (in a sexy way 😏)

Master list –> AO3 | ff.net | Tumblr

Art Class

By: sushigirlali

——————

Couldn’t she have one sacred place all her own?! Rey was fuming, her fingers clenching so tight they threatened to snap her brand new paintbrush.

Ben Solo, her office nemesis, her one great weakness, smirked at her from the dais, keeping her stare as he slowly dropped the cloth covering his crotch.

She knew this was a test, but who would break first? Definitely not her. She was NOT going to look, to satiate her curiosity, to finally get a good look at what lie beneath those expensive, tailored—

“Fuck!”

The whole room turned to look at her, but Rey didn’t think, she simply reacted. She ran.

“Hey, Rey! Wait up!”

She glanced behind her and almost stumbled as a very nude Ben Solo chased after her. His legs were much longer than hers, so it wouldn’t take much for him to catch up.

“Go away!” she shouted, her cheeks burning with embarrassment and… something else.

“Will you just stop for a minute?” Then, softer, “Please.”

He sounded frustrated, but so was she. Quickly running out of hallway, Rey veered to the right. If she could just make it to the side door that led to the parking lot…

“Shit!” She gasped as strong arms suddenly snagged her from behind.

“Now will you listen?” Ben said drolly, holding her struggling form tightly.

She could feel every inch of his chiseled body pressed against her back and butt and thighs and the instant rush of arousal she experienced only made her angrier.

“I’m going to kill you,” she growled. 

“Look, I didn’t think you’d react that way, I didn’t mean to—to embarrass you or anything.”

“I find that hard to believe,” she said bitterly. “You’re always trying to fuck with me.”

He suddenly let her slide down to the floor and turned her in his arms. “Hey!” She grumbled up at him.

“Rey,” he said evenly, “isn’t that kind of our thing, though?”

“What do you mean?” 

His dick was hard against her stomach and, despite her awkward response to his state of undress, she itched to look at it again. Maybe sketch it, maybe touch—

“Ben!” she gasped when he backed her into the door she had been trying to escape through, hands on either side of her head.

“Fuck!” He dropped his forehead onto her shoulder, his breath coming in quick, sharp pants. “The things you do to me, woman.”

His tone was giving her impossible ideas, but they couldn’t be true. Right?

“Ben, why are you here?”

“I wanted—I don't know. Maybe to shock you? Impress you?” He lifted his head, his soulful brown eyes staring straight into hers. He wasn’t smirking now. “Get your attention?”

“You wanted me to… see you naked?” He was saying something else, too, but she was having a hard time believing it.

���Vulnerable,” he corrected. His cheek dimpled as he chuckled. “It seems stupid now, but I had no idea you’d react like that. I’m sorry.”

“Why are you being so nice to me?” She was feeling vulnerable herself. 

Rey had never seen a man without clothes on in person before, and the fact that it was Ben? She blew out a harsh breath. No, she wasn’t ready to admit to anything, least of all that she maybe kinda possibly had a thing for her rival.

“Am I?” He seemed amused. Ben slowly pushed away from the door and she unconsciously arched toward his retreating body heat. “Interesting,” he remarked, letting his hands hang at his sides.

“What is?” Rey barely recognized her own voice, it was so husky.

He backed up another step and Rey’s eyes instantly went to his cock. It was long and thick and rising before her eyes and—

“Ohmigod!” Rey said in a rush. “You have an erection!”

“Glad you noticed,” he said wryly.

“Ben, we’re in class!” 

“At an art studio, for adults,” he laughed. “Don’t be so scandalized. Nobody here works at our office and I won’t tell anyone.”

“You won’t?” This whole incident seemed like the perfect piece of gossip for Ben to hold over her head. The shrinking virgin runs away from a massive dick.

“Rey,” he said, prying her attention off his genitals and to his face. “Want to get dinner?”

“What?”

“Would you like to go to dinner? With me?” He rushed on when she didn't respond. “I promise I’ll put pants on.”

“I don’t understand.” Well, she did, but he couldn’t possibly be asking her on a date while standing buck naked in a public hallway. This must all be a big misunderstanding. “I’m not mad, not anymore at least, so you don’t have to… why are you laughing?”

Ben moved forward again, crowding her against the door. “Rey, I like you. A lot.”

“I—uh. What?”

“Honestly, more than like, but let’s start with dinner and see where it goes.” 

“But you’ve always hated me?”

“No.”

“No?” 

“No, Rey,” he said quietly. “Quite the opposite.” And with the way his arousal was poking her, she believed him. 

“Oh. Oh!” Rey finally understood his actions, and hers. She hesitantly raised her hands and placed them on his chest. His muscles jumped under her touch, his smooth skin prickled. “Can you, um…”

“Sorry,” he said gruffly and attempted to pull away. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—oomph!”

His mouth softened under hers almost immediately and he wrapped her up tight again. “Bend your knees,” she whispered. “It’ll be easier to… yeah.”

They kissed heatedly, something Rey hadn’t done much of, but it was natural with Ben. After a few frantic moments, they pulled back to breathe.

“I… more than like you too,” she admitted. “A lot.”

“Thank fuck.” He hugged her close, then grabbed her hand. “Let’s find my clothes and get that dinner.”

“I mean, I suppose you do owe me for ruining class,” she teased. She was smiling so wide her face hurt.

“I thought bold statements were supposed to be romantic,” he chuckled.

“Lucky for you,” she said, pulling her hand away, looking pointedly at his cock, and then sticking her tongue out, “I’m easily impressed.” Then she took off running back down the hallway.

“How dare you!” he said with fake outrage, chasing after her once again. 

Rey giggled all the way back to the classroom, eager to leave and start their date. Now that she was over her initial shock, it really was a shame to cover Ben up, though.

Oh, well, she grinned, maybe he’d give her a private art lesson after dinner. 

“Hey, Rey! Wait up!” 

Oh, yeah. He definitely would.

-FIN-

A/N: I don’t think she’s gonna be a virgin much longer lmao

[destinyc1020]

You may have answered this before but what do you think about every couple in Hollywood being called PR? I don’t necessarily think fake relationships are as prevalent these days as it used to be . Social media kinda changed the need , clout chasing became so much easier . Also it’s kinda a thing that people date within the workplace right?

Hey Anon! 👋🏾

Lol yes, I've addressed the "every couple is PR" topic many times before on my blog.

Bottom Line: I really think that some fans in some fandoms use the whole "PR" excuse in order to cover up or nurse feelings of jealousy or anger at seeing their fave celebrity guy dating a woman who they perhaps don't think is right for him. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I notice they will also claim that the guy is somehow "trapped" 🙄 by the woman (or her family) in this "PR" arrangement, even though he's a GROWN adult male, simply because they just cannot fathom or wrap their heads around the fact that their fave celebrity guy just might actually LIKE the woman he's dating, and might even.... *gasp!* actually love her. 🫣🙊

While I DO think that there are SOME PR couples that do exist in Hollywood (Benana and Shawmilla def seemed like PR to me lol 🤭👀) , like you, I think they're actually more rare these days than fans realize. (Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

I also think fans need to recognize the difference btwn a couple that is actually "fake"/"PR", vs. a couple that is a REAL couple that simply just uses PR to their advantage for their careers/buzz (ie. Which is what I sometimes suspect about Ben & JLo, and Austin & Kaia, for example).

Here are several posts I've made on the topic before down below.

Happy Reading!! 📚 😁🤭

[dreamwritesimagines]

It’s CMA-

The title is making me nervous already…….

I don’t like the warning look from Margery……

okay I haven’t read what Lottie’s news it yet but I swear to god if it’s about her consummating and clover doesn’t spit take I will be sorely disappointed

Oh wait nevermind it was normal news lmaooooo yay lothany!! Congrats to them:))

Wait nevermind again it was both things. Darn clover I’m so disappointed in you for not taking the opportunity to be dramatic. I hope Ben is when clover tells him (because Lottie and Anthony sure as hell wouldn’t… I hope?)

Her dad is in the ballroom isn’t he…..

Hey dream what the fuck. That wasn’t even a cliffhanger. That was an asshole telling you ‘I’m going to fucking shoot you’ and then letting them to wait four weeks to see what happens.

FUCK don’t even talk to me dream the actual fuck. I’m going to stop showing up in your inbox for the next four weeks just so you know how this feels.

Fuck dream what the fuck was that. Have I said what the fuck enough times yet? Because seriously what the fuck

CMA hi loveee❤️ Thank you so much! ❤️

I had like two ideas for the title but then I decided on Stinging Nettle 😏

Margery giving that look to Benedict...😈

Loll they got engaged AND consummated beforehand 😂 Oh they would never tell Benedict that it happened though😂 Can you imagine how he would react?! 😂

Surpriseeeee😂

I’m going to stop showing up in your inbox for the next four weeks just so you know how this feels. WAIT NO!? 😱

30. Casual, yeah?

Pairing: Colin Bridgerton x Penelope Featherington   Format: textfic   Chapter Rating: T+

Summary: interlude of colin alone at aubrey hall, and we learn more about the whereabouts of ben's painted denim

30th May

Hey

I’m coming back for a few weeks. Aubrey’s free. Wanna go?

Isn't June like the most ideal month to get married?

Apparently not!

TBH I think the family was gonna go for a bit but cancelled last minute. I've been assured that not a single person or Bridgerton is planning on travelling down while I'm there.

Soooo.. you in?

I can’t get off work

You’re off your probation though?

Yeah but i only get 3 weeks of holiday and I’ve already booked up 10 days

How? You’re always at work!

Pips wedding

Oh. Right. When’s that?

August 10th. Plus all the bridesmaids stuff

I do not envy you women.

Why are weddings such a big fare? I swear Daph had a whole months of events and rehearsals leading up to her wedding day.

History and the patriarchy telling women their only goal in life is to marry??

Ouch

It’s fine for marriage to be something a woman wants, but for it to literally consume literal years of life? No thank you.

Still cynical on love, I see. I take it you’re also against marriage too

No, I wouldn’t say that.

There’s tax breaks involved 💰

Ha. Ha.

I think committing to a partner is beautiful.

Pip and Albie are perfect for one another and I am so happy these two oddballs found one another.

What's the difference between marriage and love for you? The two go hand-in-hand in most cultures.

Marriage is a choice between two people choosing each other. It's an agreement of partnership and committing to building a life together.

Love can be unrequited and irrational and make you think things that aren't really there.

So you'd rather an arranged marriage? Take the feelings out of the affair all together?

I'd rather be comfortable in myself and my career

Yeah but what about growing together? Literally building your lives together from the ground up like our parents

My parents married bc Portia got knocked up on their third date.

I f Philippa can find her person there is hope for Prudence after all.

What about you?

Apparently she's bringing a plus one to the wedding but won't tell anyone who it is!

I'm not planning on bringing anyone.

No matter who I bring i'll be criticised for taking the attention from my sisters. Best to blend in and nod when spoken to at this thing.

I'll go with you

Portia would have a conniption!

That would be the opposite of blending in

and worse than bringing a colleague

Your mother cannot hate me that much, we've barely interacted all these years!

and she must know i am heaps more delightful than Eloise!

You're a Bridgerton. She'd freak even if i brought Greg or Hya

They're literal children

Of one of, if not the most, prestigious society families.

Mum would retcon the whole day if she knew a Bridgerton was attending. Pip and Albie's wishes be damned.

Just when I thought your mother couldn't get any more eccentric...

Imagine what she'd be like at a Featherington-Bridgerton wedding 😶

You'll have to fight the mystery man for Prudence's affections

🙄 My cap has been sufficiently set elsewhere thankyouverymuch

Sure, jan

Ok anyway, I think I’m gonna head to Aubrey for a few weeks. Feel free to pop in for a weekend I’d love to see you x

11th June

I miss u

I’m only a train ride away

This place is too big and scary for a boy on his own

It's your childhood home.

You've literally only been there two days

Come see me

I can’t, Col

Pretty pwease 🙏🏻

Think of all the fun we can have Ferris Bueller-style with no one around.

I don’t think I’ve ever been here without the family let along staff.

Did I mention there’s no staff 😏

I am quite literally the only person on the estate.

I can’t.

You can. I'm inviting you.

It doesn't feel right to be impeding on your sisters spaces.

We're not friends anymore and i doubt she'll take kindly to me being around

Eloise doesn't have to know. Only the estate manager knows I'm here and blacked the time out for me.

That's worse!

I thought we agreed to be honest at the cabin

We did.

We are. 

I am.

I don't feel comfortable intruding on the aspects of your life you share with your sister.

I want to respect her right to space.

When are you going to tell me what happened between you two?

Its been a long time. I'm over it. You know how she holds a grudge.

If you're over it then... 🫴🏻

Please respect my boundaries about this

13th June

Swear you’ll keep a secret

I swear I won’t say a word.

What is it?

[Penelope sends a picture of painted denim jacket hanging on the back of one of her dining chairs]

No way!

[Hungry One 🦛 forwards a picture of a sketchbook with a pencil sketch of a girl that looks like Sophie]

I knew Sophie looked familiar!

Ben is gonna lose his mind when he finds out his mystery girl doesn’t even live in London.

Yeah but we can’t tell him

What why not

I promised Sophie

Did it mean as much to her as it does to Ben?

She… is very quiet about the whole thing.

I think so, though.

I think she’s really nervous about it all. She doesn't regret what happened but

she said she bolted after finding out he’s a Bridgerton.

You lot come with a lot of expectations and baggage.

She’s not comfortable with that

You make it seem like we’re toxic

No, just in a whole other league us mere mortals are not equipped to cope with

You handle it well

We’re under the radar. Your family doesn’t know we’re involved.

I also grew up with you lot.

She comes from a very very different background

Ben knows we talk. Among other things

Talking and dating are two different things.

If Ben finds out he won’t stop until he woos her into submission

And that’s bad because

She’s not ready for that

It’s been a year, Pen

She thought she’d never see him again.

So why steal his coat if she didn’t want the reminder?

I really do think she feels the same way

So what do you want to do about it? You’re not telling me just to gossip about your friend

I thought you’d want to know

I can’t do nothing, Pen.

It’s against the bro code.

When someone knows where the love of your life is we gotta make it happen.

You’ve gotta let Ben decide if she’s worth it to him - and if I know my brother he’ll move mountains to make it work

That’s what she’s afraid of

Why not give it a shot

I don’t know.

Fear of falling and failing I suppose

What’s the worse that can happen? They find out they’re not compatible and break up

Heartbreak is a real bitch

But it could be so beautiful! They could go the distance.

All they have to do is try.

Put themselves out there, let their hearts open up and be rewarded

We can’t tell him

Does she know I'm his brother?

Idk, she's never said anything.

I don’t think she’ll trust me if I tell her now...

Pen

Let’s let fate or destiny or the powers that be bring them together, hm

You’ve got to tell her. It’s unfair.

Wouldn’t you want to know if you were one degree away from the person you’re in love with?

I wouldn’t put myself in that situation

I’d want to know.

Even if she lived a hundred miles away, I would want to know if my brother knew where she was

if he's had dinner and drinks and has built a friendly rapport with her

I’d want the choice to act on it or not.

So, what, you tell Ben?

You tell him you’ve been staying with me and that Sophie is my friend?

and you send him knocking on my door begging for an introduction?

No. It’d be more elaborate than that if you let a Bridgerton scheme

Does he know you stay with me?

Does your family know?

He and Ant know I have a launchpad up north with a friend.

But they don’t think it’s me

I don’t know what they think

And you haven’t told them because…

We agreed to keep this casual, no?

We did and I’m not saying to change but like

reflect on why you don’t want them in know of this friendship of ours.

And then see how that might affect Sophie - someone who knows nothing of you guys

Can’t they keep it just between them?

I think she’s afraid of being just another muse.

She's seen tabloid images and obviously pieces he's done of Genevieve and Tilley etc.

You can't preemptively compare what he had with them to what he could have with Sophie

I'm not!

Believe it or not I'm being bipartisan here.

I haven't told her anything I know about Ben or the family.

I need you to keep this between us, Col. Please.

If you think that's best, fine.

Thank you❤️

but, like, what are the odds?!

I really do miss you, Pen

That lonely, huh?

Yes.

But also I have had way too much time to think

Do you ever think that things happen for a reason? Like everything you’re doing is meant to happen no matter how lost and listless you feel? Or how life would be different if we didn’t reconnect. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if we didn’t cross paths that night, or if we didn’t acknowledge one another, or if we were awkwardly pleasant and went our separate ways, or godforbid we left it at a one night stand. In all these scenarios I can’t even come up with a good ending. I can’t imagine my life without you, Pen.

[Hungry One 🦛 sends a screenshot of Penelope's most recent Instagram story: She’s at what looks to be a sitting room in a house party. She's surrounded by four men and Mel all huddled together for this candid picture. Penelope is just sitting a little too close to one of the guys - a boy with dusty blonde hair and skin as pale as a porcelain doll. So close that she’s perched on his lap with her arm thrown around his neck and looking just too comfortable]

Looks like you're having fun!

New friends?

Thinking about me in your lap?

You have nothing to worry about

HIIIIYO, just wanted to come on here and express my love for the "break me down" series, I've JUST started re-reading and it's absolutely been so good and phenomenal just like the first time around!

the way you write Soldier Boy/Ben is CHEFS KISS and his dynamic with the reader is splendid, I adore them 😭😭 (they're also hot together lol). thanks for creating such an incredible little series with them!!!

Hey there, lovely anon!

Wow thank you so much! 🥰 I appreciate you for reading AND re-reading. Break Me Down and all of its sequel stories has been an absolute blast of a series to write, despite the challenges of writing Soldier Boy/Ben lol.

I tried my best to bring out the humanity in him, as well as create the push-and-pull chemistry between him and the reader, bordering on love/hate in BMD. 😅 I'm glad that you enjoy that aspect, plus the...shall we say heated nature of their relationship. 😏

I'm so honored that people are still discovering this series and still rereading it. It's amazing to hear, so thank you for brightening up my day today! 🥰💚

I love that idea of mitchy and vk arguing over who got destroyed more, it's gold 😂😂 can we extend that to all the omegas in cricket? they have a whatsapp group where they keep complaining about how possessive all their alphas are, but then it goes into an argument about whose alpha is the most possessive and rough 😂 also jossy's endgame is definitely joey, even though joey is a beta. and i think you have finny as a beta too? so the omegas who're mated to alphas, like vk and mitchy keep teasing jos and stu for missing out on the sheer power of a possessive alpha. 🤪 also if it comes to tattletaling, vk is the one who gets totally bullied by the other omegas, because he has more instances of past escapades than the rest of them put together 😂

this is a normal day in the group:

stu: 😭

starcy: why does every conversation on this group start with crying? 🙄

marn: oh look, stu's crying again, what's new? 🙄

jos: what happened??

stu: you know very well what happened 😭

vk: wait what's going on?

stu: which one of you bitches told finny that jimmy cuddles me to sleep on tours? it's only because i have trouble sleeping alone! we're only friends! i can't even feel my legs anymore 😭

vk: oh stop moaning stu, finny's just a beta! trust me, you'd be having a much harder time if he was alpha.

mark: seconded. speaking from experience here 😮‍💨

jos: hey i won't stand for this beta slander! they can get just as possessive as alphas! you've never seen how joey gets, have you?

marnus: what lies! please have you even met steve? i didn't get a wink of sleep on my wedding night, iykwim 😏😳

starcy: have you seen alyssa in one of her moods? 🥵 i think my throat was sore for the entire next week after the last time.

marky: please, neither joe, steve nor alyssa have got anything on my benny 😏 i couldn't even get out of bed after he found out about my ex-boyfriend.

vk: please, but pat takes the cake. i'm actually surprised at myself for not buying myself a walking cane yet! we've been married for 10 years now, and I'm sure ive spent at least 7 of those limping. 😭

marn: you're such a drama queen 🙄

vk: and don't even try to argue with me on this. i used to sleep with joey, benny, finny, and steve before, and i know how they are. none of them are even half as possessive as pat.

starcy: you haven't been with alyssa tho...

vk: well, never say never... ;)

stu: *screenshot* (it's a ss of the current conversation which he sent to patty 🤭)

vk: you told him?! i was kidding!

jos: 😂😂😂😂

marn: 🤣

vk: you asshole!

stu: good luck coz yours is about to get wrecked 🤣

vk: im flying back to india before he comes home, i have a match next week guys 😭😭😭

*next day*

vk: 😭

stu: *screenshot of headphones* you owe me a pair of this, vk, i could hear you screaming over in england!

marn: steve and i are his neighbours. imagine what we went through 🥲

vk: *screenshot of a wheelchair* you owe me this stu, i don't think I'll be able to move for the rest of my life 😫

stu: 😆😆😆😆

jos: lol should i send over some cushions too?

vk: you better. you have no idea how sore my bum is 😭

starcy: you deserve it for implying you would sleep with my alpha

vk: im sorry okay! there was no need to permanently cripple me over a joke!

mark: stop being dramatic vk, I've been through worse with ben!

vk: shut the fuck up, pat literally almost broke my hips yesterday. i don't think anything can be worse than that. i used to fuck ben before, and unlike with pat, i could at least get up from his bed 🙄😒

marky: want me to tell pat again?

vk: don't you dare.

marky: *screenshot* too late. 🤣🤣🤣

stu: omg you actually did it.

marn: wtf mate i didn't sleep yesterday. now my morning is ruined too 😭

vk: why do you hate me so much?! 😩

(lol im sorry, this got away from me 😭🤭)

Ahahahahhah - this is a very funny idea 😂

Mayhaps a one shot spin off in the future 😘
