I looked in my rear view mirror to make sure Devin's Jeep pulled out of the museum lot behind me. We had decided to go to my house, and I was suddenly nervous about having him in my space.Kim had worked the dinner shift tonight, so she wouldn't be there when we arrived, but she would be coming in later. I wasn't sure how to let her know not to disturb us. I wondered if I should tie a 'we are screwing our brains out' scarf to the doorknob, but decided that was a little crass. She would just have to draw her own conclusions when she saw Devin's vehicle parked in our driveway.I was hornier than I ever remember being. In fact, I briefly considered pulling over and having my way with Devin in his Jeep on the side of the road. I pictured myself climbing through the door-less driver's side and mounting him in one smooth move. I could have him inside me, easing this aching desire within seconds. I tapped the brakes, but at the last minute decided that we would have more room to fool around
"Well, I'm glad he was there to save you, or I wouldn't be able to do this." I leaned over to give Devin a sweet, slow kiss. I was trying to think of a way to say that I had almost fucked Devon in a public bathroom, but my mind couldn't focus on anything but Devin when his tongue began swirling around mine.Devin pulled back and asked, "Do I get to see your bedroom?" I ran for the stairs and giggled as he playfully grabbed my rear end, following close behind me.We slammed my bedroom door shut and grabbed each other, groping to remove clothes as we fell into my bed. I didn't give Devon another thought. I spent the entire night rolling around naked with Devin's glorious body in a tangled mess of sheets.I awoke alone and immediately missed the feeling of Devin's warm, bare skin against me. I turned to find a lavender Post-It note on the pillow beside me. It had a giant heart drawn on it and was signed simply, "D,"He had obviously been in my bathroom and seen my circle of encouraging r
I had just delivered Kim's coffee and returned to the kitchen to scrounge up some breakfast when Devin called. "I know it's short notice," he started, seeming almost nervous, "but would you have any interest in joining me at my family's weekly brunch?" He paused a second then added, "You really don't have to if you don't want to. I wouldn't go if my presence wasn't required.""I'd love to," I responded. "When?""Pick you up in an hour?""Sure." I tried not to let the panic ring through in my voice as we said our goodbyes. As soon as I touched the End Call button, I screeched up the stairs, "Kim! What does one wear to a fancy Sunday brunch?""Hell if I know," she grouched. Clearly her caffeine hadn't kicked in yet. I took the stairs two at a time, so we could have this discussion in person.I peeked around the corner of her doorway. "Help. His whole family will be there, and I have no idea what to wear.""He must have the serious hots for you, calling for another date half an hour afte
Even though I had figured out that Devin's family was wealthy, I was not prepared for the estate that we pulled into. The stone mansion was massive and gorgeous, with clean lines and a classic look. The house paled in comparison to the grounds, though.The perfectly manicured yard had the feel of an English garden with an abundance of comfortable sitting areas, bright flowers, and quirky fountains. I laughed in surprise as we walked down the brick path to the backyard and a charming, winking baby elephant statue sprayed a mist of water on us.Devin shook his head, "My mother enjoys searching for the most whimsical oddities.""We should introduce her to my grandma, Kris" I answered. "She's the most whimsical person I've ever met. They would probably get along famously."It seemed like Devin was about to disagree with that when he opened the gate to the backyard, which caused me to completely forget about our conversation. It was the most breathtaking setup I had ever seen. From the ama
The brunch was going well after our hysterics calmed down from Lisa's scandalous and outlandish comment. She and Devon were seated at the far end of the table from Devin and I, so I pointedly ignored them. I am a girls' girl, but this chick had seriously crossed the line.The conversation became boisterous as the twins got into a competition of one-upmanship. For each story that Devin told, Devon told one that was a little bigger and better. They both looked so handsome as they tried to top each other with their tall tales. We all laughed as the tone of the game switched and they started telling stories on each other.We heard about the time in high school when Devon yanked down Devin’s shorts and shoved him in the girls’ locker room.“yeah jokes on you,” Devin taunted him, “because seeing me naked is just like seeing you naked.” I shifted in my chair, trying not to think about that.“It must not be exactly the same, or I wouldn’t bag all of the hottest babes,” Devon quipped, making L
It was still early afternoon when we left the party. I had a few hours before girls’ night with Kim, so I wanted to spend that time with Devin. I’d been dying to see the pole barn where he builds his boats, so I asked him to take me there.He seemed surprised, but delighted by the request. We drove there in silence, holding hands. Devin would occasionally look over and smile at me, and I would grin back at him, perfectly content.The building was even bigger than it had looked from Devin’s camper. I don’t know what I had been expecting to see, but it wasn’t what I found when we entered the huge structure.The enormous wooden boat in the center of the room was breathtaking. I stared at it in awe that Devin was able to build something so impressive. I had imagined that he made canoe-like boats, not anything as grand as this behemoth.The building was pristine, with a freshly swept floor and each tool in its spot. It was clear from looking around that Devin took great care and pride in h
“How could I have said something so stupid?” I asked, plunking my head down on the table for the umpteenth time.“Telling someone that you love them isn’t stupid.” Kim defended me, as she always did.“It sure feels that way. What if I scared him off? What if he doesn’t want to see me again?” I moaned as I checked my phone again, sighing at its blank face staring back at me.“If those three little words scared him off, then he doesn’t deserve you, anyway.” Kim grabbed my hand and continued. “Stop worrying. He’ll call. You just took him by surprise. That’s all.”Biggie stopped by the table with our tacos, and I suddenly wondered why he always waited on us, rather than having one of the waitresses serve our table. Maybe there was something to this Kim and Biggie idea that Devin had suggested.I decided that thinking about the possibility of the two of them hooking up would help keep my mind off Devin for a while, so I dipped my toe in the water. “Biggie looks especially hot tonight.” I w
It was Thursday, and I went to check up on my grandma Kris to know how she is keeping up. I still haven’t heard from Devin since letting the dreaded three-word salute fly on Sunday. I checked my cell phone again. Nothing.I had started to text him more times than I could count. I had pulled him up in my contacts to call him numerous times, as well. Each time I chickened out, wondering why he hadn’t contacted me.I pulled my phone out again, and then I put it back in my pocket with a sigh. “Oh for God’s sake,” Kris shook her head, “just text him.”I had been around Kris so much that I barely noticed anymore how she butchered idioms. She looked like she was completely exasperated with me. “Give me the phone,” she glowered, holding out her hand.I tried ignoring her, but she shook her hand, indicating she meant business. I tentatively moved it towards her. She snatched it up and quickly typed a message. “There, let the chocolate chips fall where they may,” she said handing the phone back
