Chapter 34
THIRTY-FOUR
The drive back home was almost completely silent, only the sounds from the GPS keeping us company. I was used to the quiet, thrived in it, actually. But having Devyn sit next to me in silence? That was lighting all my nerves on fire.
Even as we turned into the driveway, she said nothing, just continuing to stare out the window. Did she think she had to hold all this inside? Today was a lot, from seeing her sister to hearing Laurel’s theory about their father. I wanted to reach out and remind her I was here, but the look on her face stopped me. She had to know that, right? That I wasn’t going anywhere, no matter how challenging our lives got?
I pulled into my parking spot next to the front porch and put the car in park. When Devyn didn’t say anything, I cleared my throat. “I should go check on my parents. My mom wants to talk about our visit to the care facility.” Devyn nodded. “Do you…” I sucked in a sharp breath, bracing myself for rejection. “Do you want me to come back later, or do you need some time?”
She shrugged. “It’s your house. You can come and go as you please. ”
“Hey…” I said, my voice taking on a more demanding tone. I put my hand on her thigh, and she turned to look at me. “Today was a lot, and I get it. If you need some time and space to get through it, I’ll give it to you.” Devyn’s brown eyes widened for a moment, and I knew I said the wrong thing. She tried to pull away, but I held on, making sure she heard me. “Don’t think this means I want to be away from you. I fucking hate the idea of sleeping without you. But if you need it, I’ll do it. Even if I leave, I’ll be right back here tomorrow morning like the needy bastard you’ve made me.” I cupped her cheek. “I also don’t want you to feel smothered.”
“I don’t,” Devyn said, her voice soft and low. “Today would have been a lot worse if you weren’t there with me.”
“Then do you want me to stay?”
“Yes,” Devyn breathed, her eyes meeting mine. “I want you to stay and make me forget, just for a little while. Help me feel something other than this ache inside my chest.”
I brought her hand to my lips. “I can do that, Ace. Whatever you need.”
She wasted no time climbing over the center console to settle into my lap. My hands flexed against her hips, loving how she felt against me. Her lips found mine, kissing me as if it was the only thing keeping her together. If she wanted to forget, I would make it my mission and not let go until she was pliant and satisfied in my arms.
Devyn leaned back, and I took her cue, unbuttoning her jeans and shimming them down her legs. As she tried to step out of them, she bumped her head on the roof. “Shit,” she chuckled. “This was sexier in my head.”
“Pretty fucking sexy to me,” I growled as I rubbed my thumb along her soaked panties. “Gonna ruin this truck forever. Every time I sit behind the wheel, I’m going to picture you, all wet and needy for me.”
“Yes,” she sighed as I tugged the fabric to the side. “Touch me, Gray. I need you so fucking badly.”
But I held back—keeping my movements light enough to drive her mad. As she let out an annoyed huff, shifting her hips to get more pressure, I pulled away. Her eyes narrowed. “Are you teasing me, Grayson?”
“You want something? Use your words.” I nipped at her neck. “You know the right ones to make me do whatever you want.”
She grinned back at me. “Fuck me with your fingers, Gray. Make your wife come all over them.”
That was all it took. I ripped away her panties, throwing the ruined fabric in my backseat. As my thumb continued to circle her clit, my other finger entered her, already feeling her pulse around me. I added another, relishing in her little gasp as I stretched and filled her just how she liked it. Devyn’s hands found the back of my neck, pulling me into a kiss as she rode my hand, soaking it with her desire. Her fingers dug into my neck as her walls constricted, practically crushing me by the time she fell over the edge. Her brown eyes met mine as she gasped my name, letting out one final groan before collapsing against my chest.
“Did it work?” I asked as I pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
“It was a good start,” Devyn said. Her hands reached down, unbuckling my jeans and shoving them and my boxers down enough to free my length. I was already hard as a rock from watching her fall apart on my fingers.
“A good start?” I arched my brows. “That’s not gonna do. Get your ass up here.”
“And do what?” Devyn asked with a sly smirk. “You need to use your words, husband.”
Fuck . I reached out and gripped her hair in my fist. “Get your ass up here and ride my cock like a good little wife.”
Devyn tucked her lip between her teeth but then did as I asked, shifting so my tip lined up with her entrance. As she sank slowly down on me, my head dropped back. I wasn’t sure I’d ever get used to how perfect she felt around me. It was heaven, something divine I could never put into words. There was no way Devyn and I weren’t meant for each other, not when we felt so good together.
As she started to rise, then dropped again, fighting to lower herself even further. She shifted a few times, taking in more of me each time. It was slow, exquisite torture. Eventually, my patience snapped and I gripped her hips, pulling her all the way down. Devyn’s fingers dug into my shoulder, so I lifted my hand and cupped her cheek. “You good, baby?”
“Amazing,” she sighed. “You make me feel so good, so full.”
“Fuck yeah, I do,” I groaned, moving my hands back to her hips. While I wanted her to set the pace, I couldn’t help but guide her through it, needing to feel my hands on her skin. “Who else fucks you this good, Devyn?”
“No one,” she moaned. “No one fucks me like you do.”
“Damn straight,” I said, my fingers digging into her a little more. “And no one’s going to have the chance. Not after me. You’re mine, wife, and I’m never letting you go again.”
“Say it again,” Devyn groaned. I could tell she was close, her movements growing sloppier and more frantic. I helped her keep a hard and steady pace, just as I knew she liked.
“You’re mine, Ace. My wife. No matter what happens, it’s me and you. Always.”
“Shit, Gray,” Devyn groaned as her orgasm ripped through her. Her fingers dug into the back of my neck, anchoring me to her as she rode out her pleasure. With her body constricting around me, it took only a few more thrusts until I was following right after.
As we both waited to fall down to Earth, Devyn cuddled against my chest, her fingers absentmindedly tracing over her mark on me. “Thank you.”
My eyes darted to her, loving how she looked pressed against me. I kissed her temple. “For sex in my truck? Pretty sure I should be thanking you for that one.”
“No,” Devyn chuckled. “Well, yes. That was pretty incredible.” She gazed up at me, all humor gone from her expression. “For being there for me today, through all of this. It’s been a long time since I felt like I was part of a team, and I really like being one with you.”
“You don’t have to worry about that, Devy,” I said as I held her tighter. “Because I meant what I said. I’m not going anywhere.”
