Chapter 19-Devon
“Devon, I can’t deal with this. I have enough going—”
“If you think you’re about to break up with me, then that’s big cap!
” I had a feeling she was going to pull a stunt like that after what I just did, but because of what I did, I couldn’t let it happen.
Seeing how heated and ready to kill I was when I thought she had another man in here, let me know that I really did love her.
When I said it earlier, I meant it, but the tightness in my chest thinking about her with somebody else, let me know just how deep my love ran.
“ Cap ,” she repeated in a questioning tone.
Her eyebrows rose in confusion. Baby girl was green, but that was one thing I loved about her. She was pure and untainted to the things I was used to, and that was what pulled me in and allowed her to have my heart in a got damn chokehold.
“Yeah, that means it’s not gon’ happen. Look, I apologize for thinking the worst and jumping to conclusions, but when I opened the door to see you dressed in that … what else was I supposed to think?”
“The last time I checked, sleeping comfortably isn’t a crime. I have a million of these dresses. It’s nothing special.”
“The hell if it ain’t.” Eyeing her in the short ass silk nightdress she was wearing had me ready to be reckless. “Have you seen how good you look?” Kenya and I hadn’t crossed the line of intimacy before now, and I was more than just a little backed up.
Taking time until we got there was an afterthought, and now the only thing I wanted to take time doing was worship her body before I got nasty and beat it out the frame.
I took one look at her and I was ready to bust, which was a feeling I’d never experienced before. Hence, that was the reason I was ready to kill somebody. I was out of my element and reacted cause I didn’t know how to feel about it.
“This is how I sleep. I have a stressful career, and sometimes romanticizing the simple things in my life helps me with stress. So, when I go to sleep. I like the mood to be right. For me, that looks like setting pleasant music, dressing comfortably and then lighting a few aromatherapy candles.”
“Why are you just now telling me this is how you sleep?”
“Because I didn’t think I needed to. You haven’t divulged how you sleep—”
“Naked.” I interrupted her. “I sleep naked.” Without her noticing, I closed the space between us. The moment she realized how close I was, it was too late for her to retreat. I had her pinned between the kitchen island and my hardness. “I overreacted, baby girl. Do you forgive me?”
“Devon—”
She didn’t have a chance to protest because I silenced her with a kiss. My hands became familiar with her body, touching, caressing and groping every part of her I could get my hands on.
Breaking our kiss, I touched her bare mound. “And you don’t have no panties on?” I shook my head before pulling her bottom lip in between my teeth, sucking on it until she moaned into my mouth.
“I want to feel you.”
She didn’t need to say anything else. Her wish was my command.
I grabbed the cusp of her butt, and with instinct she jumped up, wrapping her legs around me.
Since she wasn’t wearing any underwear, it didn’t take much to drop my pants and ease my way inside. At least, that was what I tried to do.
I hissed. “Damn, baby girl.” With just the tip in, I felt like I was being blocked off by the national guard. “Are you a virgin?” I asked because that was the only thing that made sense about how tight she was.
She laughed before throwing her head back. “No, I’m not a virgin, but I haven’t been with anyone in a few years.”
My eyes widened in surprise. “Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious. Now, are you going to keep talking or are you going to change that?”
“Say less, baby girl.”
Instead of having my way with her in the middle of the kitchen, I carried her to her bedroom and laid her down.
After kissing every inch of her body, I used my tongue to show the gem between her legs the appreciation it deserved, savoring her sweet nectar, only coming up when she experienced her third release.
I eyed her while her body convulsed, and I stripped down, loving the sight in front of me.
Positioned at her center, I spread her legs, knowing there was no going back.
Taking my time, I rocked back and forth, kissing away her cries until I was fully in her folds. In between her legs, I found a peace I’d never known. A peace I wasn’t letting go of until the day I died.
