After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#187 “I don’t Care About Ben.”

The night after Ben’s return, the atmosphere in the house was tense yet oddly serene. Sophia had made the decision to have Benjamin sleep in the room adjacent to theirs, a choice that both Alexander and Benjamin reluctantly agreed to. As the night settled in, Sophia found herself lying beside Alexander in their shared bed, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting a warm hue across the room.

Alexander, emboldened by the intimacy of their surroundings, reached out to pull Sophia closer, his fingertips tracing gentle patterns along her arm. “You know, love,” he murmured softly, his voice laced with desire, “it’s been a while since we’ve had a moment like this. I’ve missed you.

Sophia shifted slightly, her heart racing at the proximity of Alexander’s touch. “I’ve missed you too, Alex,” she whispered, her voice barely above a breath. But before she could say more, Alexander’s lips found hers in a tender kiss, igniting a spark of longing that had been smoldering between them.

As their kiss deepened, Alexander’s hands began to wander, exploring the contours of Sophia’s body with a hunger that left her breathless. But just as things were starting to heat up, Sophia pulled away, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

“Alex, we can’t,” she protested softly, her gaze flickering towards the door separating their room from Benjamin’s. “Ben’s right next door. He’ll hear us.”

But Alexander, fueled by desire and a hint of frustration, refused to be deterred. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he made a show of ignoring Sophia’s concerns, his hands roaming boldly as he attempted to reignite their passion.

“Sophia, darling,” he murmured, his voice low and husky, “I don’t care about Ben. I only care about you.” And with that, he leaned in to kiss her again, his lips hungry and demanding.

Sophia’s protests faded into a soft moan as Alexander’s kiss deepened, his lips igniting a fire within her that she couldn’t deny. Lost in the heat of the moment, she succumbed to his embrace, her hands tangling in his hair as she responded eagerly to his touch.

As their passion intensified, Sophia felt herself surrendering to the sensations coursing through her body. Alexander’s hands traced the curves of her skin with a skill that left her trembling with desire, each caress sending waves of pleasure crashing over her.

Their kiss grew more fervent, their bodies pressed together in a frenzy of need and longing. Sophia’s breath came in shallow gasps as Alexander’s lips trailed down her neck, leaving a trail of fire in their wake.

In the throes of ecstasy, Sophia couldn’t suppress the sounds of pleasure that escaped her lips, her cries mingling with Alexander’s own fervent whispers of desire. Together, they danced on the edge of ecstasy, lost in a whirlwind of passion and longing.

But just as their passion reached its peak, a loud crash shattered the air, the sound cutting through the haze of their desire like a knife. Instantly, Sophia’s senses snapped back into focus, her heart pounding in her chest as she realized the source of the disturbance.

“Ben!” she gasped, pulling away from Alexander’s embrace and rushing towards the door. “Something’s happened. I need to check on him.”

Sophia and Alexander hurried to Benjamin’s room. With a sense of urgency, she pushed open the door, revealing Benjamin sprawled on the floor, his face contorted in pain.

“Ben!” she exclaimed, rushing to his side and dropping to her knees beside him. “Are you alright? What happened?

Benjamin winced, his breath coming in short gasps as he struggled to sit up. “I- I fell,” he muttered, his voice strained with pain. “I was trying to get up and… and I lost my balance.”

Sophia’s heart ached at the sight of Benjamin’s discomfort, her concern for him eclipsing any lingering tension between them. Without hesitation, she reached out to help him up, her touch gentle yet firm as she guided him to his feet.

“There, there,” she murmured soothingly, her eyes filled with empathy. “Let me help you back to bed. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

As Sophia tended to Benjamin, Alexander stood back, his gaze flickering between them with suspicion. Alexander couldn’t shake the feeling that Benjamin’s fall had been intentional, a calculated move to disrupt their intimate moment.

However, as he glanced at Sophia’s worried expression and the genuine care she displayed towards Benjamin, Alexander made a silent decision to keep his suspicions to himself. He knew that accusing Benjamin without concrete evidence would only serve to cause further tension.

Instead, Alexander chose to bide his time, keeping a watchful eye on Benjamin and waiting for any further signs of manipulation or deceit. He understood the importance of supporting Sophia in her efforts to care for her brother.

With a silent resolve, Alexander masked his suspicions with a reassuring smile, offering his assistance to Sophia as she tended to Benjamin’s needs.
