ROGUE

08 : Ben and Ellie

Your POV

I woke up the next morning with Jason's body curled around mine, each time he took a breath, his lips grazed the back of my neck, sending shivers up my spine.
I felt stiff, but I didn't want to move away from his warmth.

I remained tangled in Jason's arms until he began to wake up too. I turned to face him and pressed my chest against his.

"Morning." I mumbled, tracing the tattoos that were inked on his chest.

"Morning baby," He rasped sleepily, shuffling closer to place a kiss on my forehead.
His lips lingered on my skin, making my heart swell. "You okay?"
I hummed in response, nuzzling my face into his chest.
"You sure?" He ran his hand through my hair, stroking it lovingly.

"Positive." I said, looking up at him with a smile.

He pressed his forehead against mine and bit his lower lip. "Last night was fun."

I rolled my eyes and let out a subtle laugh before I rolled over and got out of bed, taking the crisp-white sheets with me.

"Hey." Jason pouted, as he lay spread out like a starfish in only his Calvin Klein boxers.

"Get up, you lazy shit." I laughed, picking up a pillow and tossing it at him.

He raised his eyebrows at me, trying to hide his smirk. "That's how you want to play?" He asked, before getting his own pillow and hurling it at me with so much force that I staggered back stiffly, wincing slightly.

I shook it off and picked it up, climbing back onto the mattress and whacking Jason repeatedly with the cotton pouch of feathers.
"You can beat me at all your games, but you will never, ever win a pillow fight."

"We'll see about that." He blocked my attack with his beautifully tattooed arm and pulled the pillow easily out of my hand. "I'd run if I were you." He winked.

I pouted and held up my hands in surrender.
"I can't."

Jason snorted and rolled forward, face-planting the mattress. His body vibrated as he laughed.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh god."
Way to boost his already-enormous ego, Y/n.

It was 9am and Jason and his gang were already having a business talk with Ben.
I was in the living room, watching a painfully boring film about a Jaguar.

That was until Ellie raced into the room and practically jumped on me.
"Guess what, Guess what, Guess what!" She squealed.

"You won a free Kylie-Lip kit?" I assumed.

"Better," she tangled her red hair between her fingers.

"You won two free Kylie-Lip kits?" I reached for the remote and turned off the tv, preparing for her dramatic story I could feel coming my way.

"No! I fucked Ben." She beamed.

*faceplam*
"Huh?"

"Me and Ben!" She continued. "I went to his room to ask where the bathroom was and we ended up having sex. It was fucking amazing."

I cringed. "You went to the bathroom before though, right?"

"Of course I did, stupid." She rolled her eyes playfully.

"Ellie, you do realise Ben is an ex member of the Damnation? The gang that's been threatening to kill Jason?"

"Who cares? He's hot." She shrugged.

"So, you have feelings for him?" I presumed.

"Of course I don't, I just wanted some dick." She said.

"Well... at least you're being honest." I sighed.

"Honesty is what gets you what you want." She patted my shoulder, not wiping the cheesy smile from her face.

"Oh, so you told Ben that you just wanted a shag?" I felt an amused grin creep up on my face as Ellie hesitated.

"Lying also gets you what you want." She said eventually, laughing. Her eyes suddenly fell upon my neck, and they widened. "OH MY GOD!" She squealed, loud enough for everyone to hear in the kitchen.

I jumped. "What?"

"You and Jason! You fucked Jason! You're not a frigid little virgin anymore." She gasped excitedly.

I felt my cheeks heat up and I rubbed my neck, tracing my fingers over the subtle love bite Jason had left.
"Shh, they'll hear you." I scolded.

"Oh my god, wait till I tell Bella!" She pulled her phone out of her jean-pocket and began typing at the speed of light.

"Where even is Bella?" I asked.

"Oh, she met this guy at a festival about a month ago, they've moved in together." Ellie said quickly.

I raised my eyebrows. "That was quick."

Before anyone could say anything else, both Jason and Ben walked in.

The definition of awkward.

"Is everything okay?" Jason asked, raising an eyebrow at Ellie.

"Yeah, we're fine. Why?" I stuttered.

"Ellie screamed," He shrugged "I thought something was wrong."

Ellie giggled. "Nope, everything is completely fine." She beamed.

Jason furrowed his eyebrows at her odd behaviour. "Right. Anyway, Y/n can I talk to you?"

"Uh, yeah sure." I got up and walked towards him, he took my hand and lead towards an empty room.
Once there, he sat down on a cream sofa and pulled me onto his lap, so I was straddling him.

"I want you to know the truth." He began.

I inhaled quickly, bracing myself. "Okay."

Jason took my hands in his and squeezed them tightly. "But I can't tell you. Not yet."

Well ok then.

"What? Why not?" I sighed.

"Ben said it's a security risk, anyway, tonight, we're all going to Vegas. We'll book a hotel and find out where the casino is, the night after, I'm gonna go in there and I'm gonna put an end to this. Then we'll come back to Ben's and figure out what we're gonna do then," he ran his fingers up and down my arms. "I just wanted to let you know that this nightmare is almost over."

But I had a feeling that it had only just begun.
