The Lake

                                    

                                          
The cake cutting basically meant the party was about to end and Ben and Y/n still had to leave for their little private party.
"Ready to get out of here?" He leaned in and asked.
"Definitely." She excitingly answered.
They quietly slipped away from the party, making their way outside where a car was waiting. Ben had planned everything perfectly. They drove in comfortable silence. Finally, they arrived at the  lake.
Ben took Y/n's hand and led her to the secluded spot by the lake where he had set up a picnic. A blanket was spread out with an array of delicious foods and a bottle of champagne chilling in a bucket.
"This is beautiful, Ben. You did all this?"
"Yeah, I wanted to do something special for you." He nodded and looked a bit shy.
"You didn't have to."
" You deserve it." He smiled.
They settled down on the blanket, and Ben popped open the champagne, pouring them each a glass. They toasted to the night, to each other, and to the future.
"This place is so peaceful." Y/n said, taking a sip of her champagne. 
"I can't believe you kept it a secret."
"I wanted it to be our special place, somewhere we could escape to." He smiled.
They shared the picnic, talking and laughing under the stars. Ben had thought of everything, from her favorite foods to a playlist of their favorite songs playing softly in the background.
After they finished eating, they lay back on the blanket, looking up at the sky. 
"I meant what I said earlier, Y/n. You really made this the best birthday ever."
Y/n reached out and took his hand.
They stayed like that for a while, enjoying  each other's company. The connection between them felt even stronger in the quiet of the night.
Ben pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her.
"Thank you for being here with me." He murmured.
Y/n snuggled into his side.
"You too."
"You know,I knew you liked me." He smirked.
"Oh yes,smart pants? How?" She asked but she already knew the answer.
"Just some bits. The way you would behave around me, you getting all shy and nervous and oh! You blushing." He teased.
" Well now you know. I am all yours."
That last sentence really meant a lot to him.
"And I am not letting you go anywhere. No more hiding,no more pretending. Let's be real."
She nodded in response.
"Well, for the record, it wasn't just me. You were just as bad, always finding excuses to be around me." She laughed.
"Who, me? I was just being friendly." He answered,trying to sound innocent.
"Sure, keep telling yourself that." She again laughed.
Ben's expressions changed. His eyes went from a playful glint to something dark and intense.
He needed her.
A/n: I wrote this like one month ago, and now, while editing,I almost choked on my own saliva. But I am keeping this line haha.
He leaned in closer and the look in his eyes made y/n's breath hitch.
Without a warning,he pulled her close, tightly.
It must be normal for him,but his strength was too much for her .
"Y/n,when I say you are mine,I seriously mean it. And I won't let you forget it." His said,as his voice was filled with possessiveness.
She tried to speak but was unable,as he pulled her more close,his lips almost brushing against her ear.
" You fucking drive me crazy. Everytime you look at me,you smile at me ,I can barely control myself."
She felt shivers down her spine when he started trscing the curve of her waist,pulling her even closer.
Her legs felt weak and her body betrayed her. It felt like she had no powers. Her powers were nothing in front of him.
But that wasn't a good sign.
"Ben ..." She managed to whisper but he silenced her with a fierce kiss, claiming her,with a hunger that left her dizzy.
She could feel his dominance in his every touch and every movement as if he was making her his own.
His hands roamed around her body with a possesive urgency which made her completely at his mercy.
Her knees buckled and she clunged to him for support and her mind was trying its best to process this all.
Now that she was his, she knew Ben was about to take this all on another level.
"I will never ever let you go,y/n." He smiled but his eyes showed something else.
She nervously nodded. She felt weak, vulnerable but somehow alive than ever before.
In that moment,she knew there was no turning back. She was his, completely and utterly.
Honestly,she was scared,seeing his this intensity.
"Ben,I..." But she failed. She just couldn't. So she just snuggled close.
The warmth of his body actually gave her comfort and calmed her down.
"Sorry for being too serious. This all is too new for you. I'll take it slow." He whispered.
His words gave her a strange comfort which she couldn't describe.
"Please." She nodded against his chest.
He knew he maybe just scared her,or maybe even made her uncomfortable. He didn't mean to do it.
But sometimes he lost control.
But he was ready to go slow for her.
A/n: I am not good in the smut part, please accept this. But y'all will get smut later in the story. I don't even know why I am informing,but yea...
Also a warning,for some of you,who may need it,things will get a bit more toxic between them from now on,in respect to the storyline.
