Benji Applebaum Novels & Stories

His presence filled the space before he even spoke. “Mrs. Blackthorn,” he said smoothly, his tone refined, charming even. “I hope I’m not intruding. I do intend to come on time when it is meetings like this.” I gestured for him to sit. “Not at all. You have me at a disadvantage, though. I don’t believe we’ve met. And given your scent, I can tell that you are not from here, Alpha.” He smiled, slow and confident, the kind of smile that didn’t quite reach the eyes. “Forgive me. Alpha Lorenzo D’Amaris. But I choose to go by Mr. D’Amaris when it is amongst humans.”

He was Benjamin Smith, who was usually called Benjie. Actually, Benjie didn’t want to stop and ran, but seeing Josephine’s charm accidentally made him stop the car. Benjie glanced at Ian, who looked devastated when he saw this, and a smile appeared on his face. “This little boy will be the reason I can have this girl,” he thought. “Let’s take your mother to the hospital. I will treat her.” Benjie is a doctor by profession, while James is his assistant to him. Ian glanced at Benjie and squinted. He seemed to suspect something.

I'm about to find a bar and get myself a drink before I rough hand is clasping my shoulder. "Rhode fucking Whitlock, good to see you mate" Benji, an old mate of mine from New York shakes my hand with a vice grip. He's gotten significantly more LA mogul than the last time I saw him; he's got a tan now and he's wearing sneakers with joggers that I bet cost more than peoples first cars. "How've you been Benji?" I ask as I locate a bar across the room and motion for him to walk with me. "Yeah I'm great! But how are you man? Saw that chick you brought with you she's pretty nice" He winks at me as we reach the bar, I lean forward and tell the bartender my order before leaning back to respond to B

Alpha Brandt snarls in annoyance at the women, but Freya smacks him on the head, giving him a dirty look. Benji lets out a small snort seeing a big Alpha be brought down by his petite sister. “I think my next project is going to be a warrior book club.” This statement gets all the ladies nodding in agreement. “Benji….” I growl, my irritation already rising. “Get to the fucking point and worry about your book club later.”

Damian worked on his desk while Ben quietly watched a movie on his iPad. “Uncle, I want to go to the toilet!” Benjamin told him “Can you wait, I need to work on this for a couple minutes, then I’ll go with you!” Damian says it while continues to focus on his iMac “It’s okay! I can go by myself,” Benjamin stands, ready to walk out “Okay then!”

Benjamin lowered his gaze and said something that only both of them could understand. Benjamin had saved Aaron before. At that time, Aaron had two gunshot wounds. If he had not encountered Benjamin, Aaron would not have survived. “Does your precious Little Apple still need my protection? You really underestimate your younger sister.” Aaron shook his head and glanced meaningfully in the direction of the stairway. He took out a cigarette from his cigarette pack. “Just look at those discussions and news articles online. Someone is sensationalizing the matter between Summer and Jasper. I’ve already investigated it. The person behind the news is Irvin Hamilton from Universal Movies.”

Not what Benji and I are. "Oh, nice to meet you." I smiled at Ellie, shifting in my seat to get comfortable. I jumped slightly when I felt a warm arm and a shot of electricity touch the top of my back. Benji's arm was casually slung over the back of my seat. I don't remember him placing it there. Was it there when I had initially sat down? As if he knew I was thinking of him, Benji spoke up to introduce the final unknown person at the table. "This is my Gamma, Jeremiah."

“Not sure how you could mess that one up.” “Well, if we’re being honest here, and we are, of course, it was Benji who messed it up.” She glanced at him sitting at the head of the table. “I’m sorry, sweetie, but it’s the truth. Wouldn’t be polite to lie to Mr. Peabody, now, would it.” She glanced over at Peabody. “I swear, my Benji can squeeze a nickel so hard the buffalo poops. And when you’re buying sleeping powder and furniture polish, you can’t go cheap! Only the best will do. And this was far, far from the best. So . . . here we still are.”

“How are you? When are June and Tiden coming back?” Oh. I blinked and smiled wryly at him. He’s Benji. Not one of my friends but he’s a batch mate of Tiden and June and of course one of Vine’s die-hard fans. Well, when it comes to collecting merchandise, he topped second to me because he also has the largest collection of Vine merchandise. “I don’t know?” my answer. “Just look for them on the streaming sites,” I said and passed him by. I heard him complain but I continued towards the main building. It’s almost seven and I don’t want to be late for Prof Waye. That Professor’s a terror.

In our late-night talks, Ben had been telling me a lot about his old life, his parents, even his first boyfriend, Elroy, whom I've had the chance to meet a long time ago when we were out with Tara. "So, do you want to meet up for lunch? it's been a while and I have a couple of hours to spend before my afternoon appointment." I asked after draining my coffee cup. "Yeah sure, I'm going groceries shopping then probably to the bookstore. You didn't tell me that being a househusband can be so relaxing." Benji muttered, in between munching his omelet. The man was bored, he had been keeping himself busy with his books and baking cookies for Tara but after quitting his job with the agency he needed
