OR: Rey is Ben’s Instacart shopper. He has special requests.
“Would you mind—could you maybe put a shirt on or something?”
Ben makes direct eye contact with her, while making zero effort to put a shirt on.
He somehow seems to become more naked as he digs through the bags. It’s probably just a trick of her mind. But his shoulder blades move beneath his creamy, freckled skin in a way that makes her curious about what would happen if her hand just happened to brush against—
“Kinder Bueno? Kinder—” He holds out the candy bar up like he’s just unearthed a something of enormous archaeological significance. “What is this?”
“It’s hazelnut cream and a crispy wafer covered in milk choc—”
“Iknow what it is, why did you buy it?”
“It’s like ten times better than Toblerone, which they didn’t have anyway. I did you a favor.”
He tilts his head like he’s spoiling for a fight.
“If you actually read my instructions, you would have noticed that I don’t eat—" he makes a sort of grimacing face, like he’s pained to even say the words “—milk chocolate.”
Rey gazes at the red and white wrapper, with its tantalizingly airbrushed images of chocolate and hazelnuts, and feels her stomach cry out. She reaches her right hand up in front of him and grabs the package out of his hand, barely brushing his finger against hers.
“I do.” She shoves it in the back pocket of her jeans. “I eat it.”
He looks dumbfounded for a second, before allowing his eyes to drift downward, in the direction of her hand, and then her back pocket—and, therefore—her ass.
Insta-heart (real name: Instacock) was featured on the Fangasm podcast!
I haven’t listened yet because I’m a coward, but I believe they read the fic aloud and comment on it, humorously? I’ve heard great things about the podcast, in general, and maybe I will get past the cringe factor of listening to my own dumb fic words being spoken out loud.
