Storm's Embrace: Faith, Fear, and Ben

The rain hammered against the windows of the cabin, a relentless, insistent rhythm that seemed to mirror the frantic beat of my own heart. Just hours ago, I’d been on the verge of a full-blown panic attack, paralyzed by the thought of seeing Ben, of facing the unresolved tension that had simmered between us for months. The reference text, a fractured tale of faith and a desperate attempt at reconciliation, had offered a fragile lifeline, a desperate grasp at the memory of the love we once shared. Now, here he was, leaning against the porch light, a silhouette against the gloom, and the anxiety hadn’t vanished, but it was tempered by something else – a raw, undeniable desire.

He wasn’t the man I remembered. The beard, a dense, charcoal gray, softened the sharp angles of his face, adding a ruggedness that was both unexpected and strangely alluring. His hair, longer than I recalled, hung in damp tendrils around his jaw, framing eyes that held a mixture of apology and something deeper, something akin to longing. The t-shirt clung to his chest, revealing the sculpted muscles beneath, a stark reminder of the strength he possessed, both physical and emotional. As I stepped onto the porch, the scent of pine and damp earth mingled with the musky aroma of his skin, sending shivers down my spine.

“Hey, how are you?” I managed, the rehearsed words feeling hollow and inadequate. My palms were slick with sweat, my breath shallow. It felt absurd, this carefully constructed greeting, this desperate attempt to bridge the chasm between us. But as I saw the hesitant flicker of recognition in his eyes, I knew I had to push past the fear, to embrace the uncomfortable truth of our present reality.

He stood there, silent for a moment, before uttering the words that shattered the fragile composure I’d painstakingly built. “That’s funny, because I was supposed to meet my wife here as well.” The shared disbelief, the eruption of laughter that followed, was a release, a momentary reprieve from the suffocating pressure. It felt like a small victory, a tiny crack in the wall of separation that had grown between us.

As we hugged, a desperate, clinging embrace that conveyed more than words could ever express, I ran my fingers through his beard, feeling the coarse texture against my skin. It was a tactile connection, a grounding force in a world that felt increasingly unstable. The kiss on my lips was hesitant at first, then deepened, becoming insistent, demanding. It tasted of rain and woodsmoke, of longing and regret. I giggled, a nervous, shaky sound, as his whiskers tickled my cheek.

“What’s with all this?” I asked, pulling back slightly, trying to regain control of the situation. “You don’t like it?” His expression shifted, a hint of vulnerability flashing across his features. “Just a change of pace,” he replied, his voice low and sincere. “What’s wrong you don’t like it?” I paused, considering my response. The truth was, I wasn’t entirely sure what I liked or didn’t like. The uncertainty itself was unsettling, but also strangely thrilling. “Oh no! I like it! It looks good on you. Makes you look like one of those lumberjack types. Very sexy!” I replied, pushing the absurdity of my words aside. I walked into the cabin, needing a distraction, a refuge from the intensity of the moment.

The silence that followed was thick, charged with unspoken emotions. I felt trapped, suffocated by the weight of our shared history, our unresolved issues. Ben, sensing my discomfort, cleared his throat. “Would you like something to drink or something? I have Coke, milk and beer!” The offer was a lifeline, a tangible connection to the familiar comforts of our life together. “No, I am fine thank you though!” I replied, shedding my flip-flops and kicking them off the porch. The cool floor beneath my feet offered a small measure of relief.

As he sat down beside me, I noticed the subtle scent of his cologne, a blend of sandalwood and leather that always managed to captivate me. It was a reminder of the man I had fallen in love with, the man I still desperately wanted. “Gina listen, I’m not exactly sure what to say except that I love you. I have been going over and over it in my head and I still can’t figure out what happened with us. I can be hardheaded at times and my job takes me away alot, for that I am sorry. I may be hardheaded, but I am man enough to swallow my pride and say that I am so lost without you. I have thought about you every day, every hour, every minute and every second that we have been apart. I can only ask that you can forgive me for any pain that I may have brought upon you. I do so love you Gina!” Ben said as a couple tears rolled down his cheeks.

His words, raw and vulnerable, struck me with unexpected force. I wiped away my own tears, feeling a surge of empathy for the man who had caused me so much pain. I realized that this wasn't just about our argument, about the weeks of strained silences and missed opportunities. It was about something deeper, about the fear of intimacy, the vulnerability that comes with letting someone truly see you. “Baby, I love you too. I have never stopped loving you and will always love you. There isn’t another man in this world that I would rather grow old and gray with than you. You are my husband, my best friend and the holder of my heart. You are my soulmate. I hope you can forgive me for not showing or telling you just how much you mean to me. I would gladly give up the salon if I thought for one second, that it would cause me to lose you. I love you so very much Mr. G! And don’t you ever doubt it!” My tears flowed freely now, a torrent of emotion that threatened to overwhelm me.

As we talked, we cried, we laughed, and we prayed together until just after 5 am. The shared vulnerability, the willingness to confront the uncomfortable truths of our relationship, was profoundly healing. It felt as though a weight had been lifted, a burden shared. Laying on the couch together, holding hands, there was no sex, just the profound comfort of physical connection. It was more satisfying than any passionate encounter could have been, a testament to the enduring power of love and trust.

I awoke later alone on the couch, the aroma of cooking food filling the air. Ben was standing at the stove, his hair damp, having taken a shower. He wore a blue polo shirt and different pair of blue jean shorts. His beard was combed back and looked a bit shaggy. I was starving and took advantage of his presence to make a quick request. “Morning! Are you hungry?” Ben asked, then proceeded to prepare a couple of ham and cheese omelets.

After eating, I decided to take a quick shower. In my haste to see Ben, I neglected to bring a change of clothing. I would have to wear the same shorts, but I asked Ben if he had another shirt I could wear. “Sure, be my guest! Pick out anything you wish.” Ben replied. I chose a light blue t-shirt and put it on. Then, I undressed and stepped into the shower. The hot water cascaded over me, washing away the last vestiges of anxiety.

As I showered, I kept glancing towards the bedroom, half-hoping that Ben would come in. But I didn’t want to rush things, to overwhelm him with my desires. We were finally reconnecting, and I wanted to savor every moment of this fragile intimacy.

After my shower, I dressed and fixed my hair the best I could. Ben, noticing my state, smiled and asked if I was up for a walk by the lake. I agreed, eager to escape the confines of the cabin and breathe in the fresh air. As we walked, Ben took my hand, holding it tightly. The simple gesture, the warmth of his touch, was enough to ignite a spark within me.

We sat on a wooden bench by the lake, the sun warm on our faces. We talked, sharing memories and dreams, and slowly, the tension began to dissipate. Ben’s words, filled with sincerity and remorse, eased the pain of the past. I realized that while the argument had caused deep wounds, it had also forced us to confront our own issues, to grow closer in the process.

As we continued to talk, I realized something profound: the desire was still there, a deep, primal urge that couldn't be denied. It wasn’t just about the physical act of sex, but about the emotional connection, the vulnerability, the feeling of being truly seen and accepted. Ben, sensing my shift in mood, took my hand once more and leaned closer. He kissed me softly, a gentle prelude to the passion that lay ahead.

The kiss deepened, becoming more insistent, more demanding. I leaned into him, surrendering to the pull of his desire. His hands gently traced the curve of my body, sending shivers down my spine. The rain continued to fall, a soothing soundtrack to our reunion.

As the hours passed, our bodies grew closer, drawn together by an undeniable force. The conversation faded into the background as our senses heightened, and the world narrowed down to just the two of us. The longing intensified, becoming almost unbearable. Finally, we made our move, embracing with a ferocity that surprised even ourselves. The pleasure was intense, overwhelming, a release of pent-up emotions and desires.

The rain continued to fall as we lay tangled together, lost in the depths of our shared pleasure. As the night wore on, we continued to explore each other's bodies, pushing the boundaries of our comfort zone. The touch, the taste, the scent – everything was heightened, amplified by the shared intensity of our passion. The cabin, once a symbol of our broken relationship, now felt like a sanctuary, a safe haven where we could reconnect and rediscover the love that had once defined us. The storm outside raged on, but inside the cabin, a different kind of storm was brewing – one of pure, unadulterated passion. It was a storm that would leave us breathless, exhausted, and utterly satisfied. It was a storm that would remind us that even after the darkest of nights, there is always the possibility of finding light, of finding love again. And as we drifted off to sleep, intertwined in each other's arms, we knew that we had not just survived the storm, but had emerged stronger, more connected, and more deeply in love than ever before.
