Maybe she was overreacting and this wasn’t even a big deal.
“Do you think he’s going to be upset?” she asked, sending a hopeful look towards the iPad in her hands to find Ben giving her a “Are you fucking kidding me?” look.
“Just tell him already,” the man that Grandma Bea should have forbidden her to play with when they were little, said with a sigh that she really didn’t appreciate at the moment as he rolled over onto his back.
“I’m going to,” she said, but…
She didn’t want to lose him and she knew that compared to a lot of things that this wasn’t a big deal, but even knowing that wasn’t stopping her from worrying that she was going to do something to wreck this. She’d never been this happy before and she was terrified that it could be taken away from her. She knew how much it hurt to have the one person that you loved more than anything ripped out of your life and she…
She didn’t want to go through that again.
“Then do it already. I’m not sure why you’re making a big deal out of this. Just tell him that you’re starting your own company and that you’re not going to leave him hanging. He’s not going to be pissed because you want to start your own business, but he is going to be pissed if he finds out that you kept something from him. For some reason the man’s in love with you.”
“That’s because I’m loveable,” Charlie said, nodding only to glare when Ben followed that up with, “But are you though?”
“I hate you,” she said even as she decided that she was being an idiot about this. As soon as she got home, she was going to tell him.
“Then stop calling me so I can get some damn sleep, woman!” Ben muttered as he rolled back over onto his stomach.
“Fine. I’ll talk to you tomorrow,” Charlie said, sighing heavily as she ended the call and tossed the phone aside, already bored out of her mind.
She could get some work done, but…
She didn’t feel like it.
She also didn’t feel like watching another movie, staring at the ceiling, or taking another bath. What she wanted to do was to tuck Abbi and Dustin in and kiss them goodnight before ending the night in Devin’s arms, but that wasn’t an option tonight, which meant that she was probably going to end up taking another bath, order room service, and stare at the ceiling until she fell asleep.
Deciding that there was no point putting it off, Charlie reached for the room phone and-
Found herself smiling when a chime alerted her to a text from Devin. Charlie picked up her phone only to frown when she read the text waiting for her.
Are you going to let me in?
Feeling her lips pull up into an excited smile, Charlie climbed off the bed and raced across the room, throwing the door open and-
“God, I missed you,” Devin said, chuckling when Charlie jumped into his arms.
“Where are the kids?” Charlie asked, wrapping her arms around him as she kissed him.
“Being spoiled by their grandparents,” he said, carrying her back into the room and closed the door behind them as she showered his face with kisses.
“What are you doing here?” she asked as she found herself placed on top of the dresser.
“What do you think?” Devin asked, reaching for her shirt.
“That you realized that you couldn’t live without me?” Charlie asked, raising her arms so that he could pull the shirt off the rest of the way.
“I already figured that out a long time ago,” Devin promised her as he reached for her panties as Charlie pulled his belt loose.
“And that you adore me?” she asked, working his pants open as she shifted so that he could pull her panties off.
“God, yes,” he said as he reached back and grabbed hold of his shirt as she leaned forward and pressed a kiss against his chest.
“And you love me?” Charlie asked, needing to hear it as she pressed another kiss against his chest as she slid her hands beneath the back of his pants.
“Yes,” Devin said with absolutely no hesitation.
Worrying her bottom lip, Charlie looked up at him and asked, “Are you sure?”
The expression on his face softened as he reached up and cupped her face and said, “Yes,” as he leaned down and brushed his lips tenderly against hers, letting her know just how much he loved her.
Chapter 35
“Baby, I have to go,” Devin said, unable to help but moan as that small hand that had been rubbing his cock through his pants gave it a gentle squeeze.
“You really do,” the little fucking tease said as he felt that small hand work his fly open.
He never should have woken her up so that he could say goodbye and he sure as hell should have known better than to watch as the sheet fell when she sat up. He should have left her a note, kissed her cheek, and moved his ass. Instead, he was standing here, struggling not to fucking lose it as Charlie wrapped her hand around his cock and pulled him free.
He should definitely go, Devin told himself as he watched her work her hand over him, slowly stroking his cock as she leaned forward and licked the tip, making his hips buck. He’d never met a woman that knew how to drive him out of his fucking mind with a few simple moves, but that probably had something to do with the fact that they’d never cared enough to find out what he liked.
They did what he wanted so that they could get what they needed. They had no idea that he liked it when a woman teased his cock, taking her time to drive him out of his fucking mind with her hand, lips, tongue, and teeth, making him think that he’d lose his fucking mind if she didn’t put him out of his misery and take him into her mouth, but Charlie did.
She knew that he’d end up fucking her harder if she teased his cock because she’d paid attention, noting what he liked, what he hated, and what would make him groan her name louder. She loved having this kind of control over him, loved knowing that she could drive him out of his fucking mind to the point that he mindlessly fucked her. But she hadn’t been the only one paying attention in the last few months…
He watched her take the tip into her mouth as her hand stroked him one last time before he pulled away. When she tried to pull him back, he chuckled as he leaned down and kissed her. “Get on your back,” Devin said even as he reached down and cupped the back of her knees and pulled up, giving her no other choice but to lay down.
Using his hold, he spread her legs further apart as he knelt down and found himself groaning when the move caused the prettiest pussy that he’d ever seen to spread open, revealing the swollen little clit, glistening with excitement. Unable to help but smile, he leaned forward and exhaled, knowing the move would tease her. When she shifted anxiously, he turned his head and pressed a kiss against her thigh as he released his hold so that he could reach between her legs and-
“Mmmmm,” Charlie moaned softly as he ran his fingertip slowly down her slit.
She was so fucking wet, Devin thought as he placed his hand on her thigh so that he could brush his thumb over her slit, teasing that swollen little clit that loved attention. He continued caressing her slit with his thumb as he stood up and placed his other hand on the bed next to her so that he could lean down and take her nipple between his lips.
As he gently sucked on her nipple, he moved his hand between her legs and slowly slid his finger inside her, groaning when he found her wet. He could fuck her now and make her come quickly, but he wanted to make this last. Last night had been fucking amazing, being able to take his time as he’d touched, licked, and fucked her without having to worry about his children waking up in the middle of the night or that someone at work was going to barge in on them.
There had been a few times over the past few months when they’d been able to fuck at their leisure, but it hadn’t been enough. Thank god his kids were getting older. In a couple of years, they wouldn’t have to worry about the kids waking up in the middle of the night asking for water or demanding that they make sure there weren’t any monsters under their bed and he couldn’t fucking wait. Until
then, they were going to have to savor moments like this, Devin decided as he slid a second finger inside her, slowly fucking her as he released her nipple only to take the other one between his lips and flick it with his tongue.
Charlie’s moans became louder as she ran her fingers through his hair, encouraging him to keep going as she rolled her hips, riding his fingers until even that wasn’t enough.
“Devin?” she said, moaning his name just right.
“Yes?” he said, releasing her nipple so that he could lean over and kiss her.
“I need to be fucked, Devin,” she whispered seductively, knowing exactly what that would do to him.
“Do you?” he drawled, pulling back just enough so that he could look at her as he continued slowly fingering her.
