Epilogue
Devyn opened her eyes, saw nothing but black, and internally groaned.
It had been so long, at least three weeks since she’d woken up in the middle of the night and couldn’t go back to sleep.
Three weeks of bliss. Somehow, camping in the backyard with most of their friends had done what she hadn’t been able to do alone… calmed her mind.
She could hear birds without freaking out and being thrown back to the middle of that deserted forest. Even Angel and Whiskers were doing great.
Fred had come over the other day, and the animals hadn’t darted up the stairs to hide.
They hadn’t exactly run up to Fred for pets, but they weren’t traumatized by a stranger either.
Lucky still kept the bathroom light on for her, and she had thought that soon, she wouldn’t even need that anymore.
But now it was dark and she was awake. Was she backsliding? Devyn frowned and turned her head slightly to look at the clock. When she read the numbers on it, she blinked. Five-o-two. She smiled. It wasn’t the middle of the night. She’d gotten a full six hours of sleep.
Lucky’s alarm was going to go off in twenty minutes or so.
An idea formed in her head then. They’d been going slow in the sex department, mostly because Lucky hadn’t wanted to rush her and was taking great care with her mental health. But Devyn felt good. Ready to get her life back.
She’d told her boss she wanted to stay part time, and she was deeply satisfied with her decision.
She was still a little worried about money; she didn’t want to mooch off Lucky, especially after he’d already shelled out a hefty sum to Spencer’s loan shark to get her back, but she had to admit that she was happier only working twenty hours a week.
She’d started to volunteer at a local rescue group, playing with the animals and assisting with easy medical issues. It felt good. She felt good.
And she wanted Lucky. Now.
Knowing the second she stirred, he’d wake, she moved quickly, sitting up and straddling Lucky’s thighs. She pulled off her T-shirt, thankful she hadn’t been wearing underwear to bed, then pulled Lucky’s boxer briefs down and lowered her head.
“Holy shit,” Lucky moaned, one of his hands immediately tangling in her hair.
Smiling, she licked his cock, pleased when it immediately began to harden. Without a word, she got to work, licking and sucking, doing her best to please her man.
“Fuck, Devyn, that feels so damn good.”
She’d never done this before. Oh, she’d given a blow job or two, but not to Lucky, because he’d always been too bossy and impatient to let her play with him like this.
But she’d never felt the bone-deep need to please a man in this way before.
She wanted to thank Lucky for being as amazing as he was.
Show him without words how much she loved him. How fortunate she felt to be with him.
They both wrestled his briefs down his legs and off, and Devyn didn’t remove her mouth from his cock the entire time.
She leaned down to lick his balls, and he broke.
Lucky sat up and grabbed her around the waist and practically threw her onto her back next to him.
Devyn frowned at him. “I wasn’t done,” she complained, licking her lips, loving the taste of his slight musk.
“I was about to be,” he told her. “Are you sure?”
Devyn nodded. “I woke up and thought it was the middle of the night. But I’d slept another whole night. I feel so fortunate, and I need you, Lucky. In my life, in my bed, and in my body. Please?”
Without a word, he lowered his head and took one of her nipples into his mouth and sucked.
Hard. With his other hand, he reached between them and tested her readiness.
Devyn loved how considerate he was, but she was more than ready for him.
Surprisingly, sucking his cock had excited her to the point that her body was dripping wet.
But Lucky took his time, licking, sucking, and nipping at her small nipples as he played with her clit. When he felt she was wet enough, he sat up, bringing his fingers to his mouth and licking her wetness off them.
Devyn knew she was blushing, but she didn’t care. She spread her legs wide and begged him with her eyes to stop fucking around.
He chuckled, obviously reading her look. He inched forward on his knees, forcing her legs even farther apart. “I love you, Dev.”
“Love you back,” she whispered, gripping his thighs with her hands.
Then Lucky was there. Where she needed him. Slowly pressing inside her as if she was the most precious thing in the world to him. She could see the pleasure on his face as he slipped through her folds.
“This’ll never get old,” he breathed. “Seriously, you have no idea how fucking good this feels. Being inside you bare.”
“I think I have some idea,” Devyn panted.
Then neither had the breath to speak as he slowly and methodically made love to her. In and out, steadily ramping up both their arousal. Then, without her having to beg, he began to move faster, as if knowing she needed more. His cock felt so big and deep inside her, and all she could do was moan.
Then, as if he wasn’t turning her on enough, he began to roughly thumb her clit. Devyn jerked and dug her nails into his skin. She was holding on to his arms now, as if they were the only things holding her together.
“Can I come inside you?” Lucky asked without stopping his thrusts or flicking her clit. “If it’ll make you uncomfortable, I can pull out and come on the sheets.”
Devyn hadn’t thought she could love this man any more, but at that moment, she overflowed with gratitude. She didn’t know what she’d done to deserve him, but she was going to do everything in her power to keep him. To be worthy of him.
They hadn’t talked much more about her aversion to being dirty, but of course he still knew.
“Inside me,” she breathed.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
Devyn managed a nod. Nothing about Lucky felt dirty to her.
“So fucking strong,” Lucky said under his breath, then thrust into her and held himself there as he manipulated her clit.
Devyn tried to thrust up, but couldn’t; Lucky’s hips held her still. She writhed in his grasp and every muscle in her body tensed as her orgasm approached.
“That’s it. Let go. I’ve got you. You’re safe with me. Let me feel it. I wanna feel your pussy grab hold of my cock as if it never wants to let go.”
Fifteen seconds later, Devyn did just that. She flew over the edge and let out a small screech as she orgasmed. It was so intense, it almost hurt, and Lucky never stopped stroking her clit, forcing the pleasure to keep going until she begged him for mercy.
Instead of fucking her hard and fast like she expected him to, Lucky lifted her ass and somehow got even deeper inside her.
She swore she could feel the head of his dick against her cervix.
It was almost painful, but in a good way.
Then, without even moving, Lucky’s stomach muscles contracted and he came.
Long and hard, if the look of pleasured agony on his face was any indication.
His fingers bit into the flesh of her ass and his nipples were hard as rocks on his massively defined chest. Devyn swore even the skull tattoo on his shoulder looked as if it was highly pleased.
She loved when he lost control and fucked her hard and deep, but somehow she loved this even more. He’d come without moving, and that felt pretty damn amazing.
“Damn,” Lucky said when he’d stopped coming. “I…Fuck.”
She giggled and felt his cock slide out of her a little. He was adorable when he was speechless.
“You think that’s funny?” he asked, pretending to be affronted.
“No, not at all,” she lied.
They smiled at each other, then Lucky rolled over so she was astride him.
He was still lodged inside her body, but she could feel he was no longer hard.
Wetness slipped out of her body, was probably coating his balls, but he didn’t seem to notice or care.
His hands came up and he framed her face and pulled her down for a long, deep kiss.
When they were both breathing hard, Lucky said, “I never want you to suffer in the night alone again. I know you’ve been sleeping fairly well these past few weeks, but promise me, in the future, if you wake up and can’t go back to sleep, you’ll wake me up too.
I can’t stand the thought of you lying next to me, miserable and unhappy. ”
“I’m okay,” she said.
He shook his head. “No. I mean, I know you are, but seriously, I love you so much, and even if all we do is talk, I don’t want you to suffer alone. Never again.”
God, she loved this man. “Okay.” What else could she say?
“Thank you,” Lucky said, breathing out a sigh of relief. Devyn could see that her response meant everything to him.
“I wasn’t going to shower before PT this morning, but I’m thinking now I need to make sure my woman’s clean. Inside and out,” he said with a smirk.
“It’s awfully early,” Devyn mock complained.
“You can go back to sleep after I leave,” Lucky told her.
Once again, he was making sure she was comfortable and didn’t wake up feeling dirty. He was amazing. “Okay. What are your plans for today?”
“More meetings about the Olympics. We’re headed out next week, which you know.”
“Do…are you guys expecting trouble?” Devyn asked tentatively.
“No,” Lucky said without hesitation, which went a long way toward comforting her.
“But we never know what will happen, so we plan for every contingency. And the fact that several different teams are switching out over the month or so that the games take place makes things more difficult, as well. Which is why we have so many planning meetings. Honestly, we look forward to this kind of assignment. It’s a nice change of pace and it’s fun to meet all the athletes. ”
“You gonna get autographs?” Devyn teased.
