Big man. Bigger ego.
Soldier Boy (Ben) x Reader | The Boys
NOTES: thank you to this beautiful anon for this request. given his character, I made it as realistic as I think it could be. I hope you like it <3
TW: smut, sub!ben/dom!reader, Ben being a broke lil boy, lowkey he’s a sugar baby, but it’s okay because you have money, Ben fronting like he’s in charge but he’s noooot, younger reader (ofc since he’s old af), i think that’s all
Ben thinks he’s working you from day one. You’re young and loaded with the kind of old money that doesn’t blink at thousand-dollar tabs or five-star hotels. You’re basically Vought royalty, your dad has been with the company since forever. The kind of “since forever” that comes with a corner office and a private stairwell.
You’re exactly the kind of girl he likes nowadays—too rich to say no, too bored to care what you’re doing. That’s what he thinks, anyway. Until you open your mouth and hand his ego back to him in pieces.
You don’t try to impress him. You don’t act like you’re lucky to be there. You just look him over, slow and sharp, like you’re assessing an antique: flashy, worn, expensive once, and maybe still worth something—if you feel like polishing it up.
And when he leans in too close and says, “Careful, sweetheart. I bite.”
You sip your drink without looking away and say, “You’d cry if I bit back.”
It short-circuits something in him. Not enough to stop him—nothing ever does—but enough to shift the air. The swagger doesn’t vanish, but it starts to lag behind his eyes, like all the sudden he’s not sure whether he’s the one hunting or being hunted.
And that’s when it starts to get fun.
Ummmmm this is sooooo hot omg. Given how Soldier Boy is, this is an amazing depiction of him and how he’d manoeuvre if he were broke attempting keep up the facade. The fmc is calculated and her control of him and their whole dynamic was so fun to read. The end where Ben looses the little control he thought he had and she tops him… that was so hot. She’s written so deliciously I neeed more of these two!!
