Page 15 of Resolving Rumors

“You’re bigger,” I mused, though my thought ended up spoken aloud.

“Nothing to do but work and work out when you refused to speak to me.” He moved up and kissed my lips before he pulled my tank top the rest of the way off my body and tossed it to the floor.

“It’s different. You feel like a different person.” My admission startled him as his eyes swept back up to meet my own.

“Is that a bad thing?”

“No. I guess it just took me by surprise. We weren’t apart that long, despite it feeling like an eternity. Still, you changed in that time and I guess it’s messing with my head a bit.”

“Turn it off, baby. Let it all go and just be in the moment with me.” The last was another demand before he leaned in and nipped my earlobe. Then he explored my neck while leaving open mouthed kisses all along the column of my throat and down across my collar bones. “You with me now?” He asked.

I nodded, but he must not have seen. His tongue swiped across one nipple, then the other before his eyes came up to meet mine again. “You with me?”

“Always,” I whispered in response. The smile he gave back made butterflies dance in my stomach. He was a gorgeous man, but even more so when he smiled at me like that.

“Good, then I want you to stay right there while I worship your body. If you can’t handle that, I’ll tie your ass to this bed until I’m done reacquainting myself with every inch of you.”

I shivered despite his threat being hot as hell. Devin noticed and chuckled. “You like that idea, don’t you pretty girl?”

“Yeah, I think I do.”

“Noted. For now,” he leaned in and kissed me in the center of my chest and then planted another kiss a little lower and then another lower still. I glanced down as Devin groaned into my lower belly. “Missed the way you taste, smell, and move beneath me.” He ran his nose along my abdomen and down further between my legs. “Victoria’s sweet honey flavor. I would pay to have it bottled for me if I didn’t enjoy getting it direct from the source.”

I giggled. “You’re an idiot,” I managed to get out through my laughter.

He shook his head and swiped up my sex with his tongue. “Nope. I’m a lovesick fool. There’s a difference.”

I’d like to say I thought about all the things that were more important than having sex with my boyfriend - ex boyfriend - maybe on-again boyfriend, but beyond not knowing what we were to one another anymore, I couldn’t really think because Devin’s mouth descended on me and worked magic on my body.

I hadn’t realized how much I had missed the way he worked me over with his mouth, but then he added his hands to the mix and pumped two fingers into me. When he curled them to hit my spot while he nibbled and sucked my clit, I lost my damn mind and screamed out for him to never stop.

“I’d spend forever feasting on you, if you’d let me.” His promise came just before he leaned in and joined our mouths, so I could taste myself on his lips and his tongue. Devin slid his cock deep inside me as he did this. I had a moment of panic when I realized how quickly he made it up to my mouth and inside my body.

“Devin, wait.”

He shook his head. “Look down, baby.” I did as he asked and noticed what he wanted me to see. Despite not knowing when he managed to sheath himself with a condom, he had done so. “Not doing anything that would make you want to walk away from me again.” He thrust harder. “Never again, Vic.”

“Promise?” I asked as he continued to hammer into me with a ferocity that we’d never had in our love making before.

“On my life, baby.”

DEVIN

“Didyou ever go see that movie?”

Victoria moved her head on my chest, so she was angled enough to look up and see me. Her golden hair flowed over my shoulder and down behind her in a silky waterfall, but every time she moved, even slightly, the scent of honeysuckle and vanilla hit me all over again. It felt like coming home. I knew it was something I missed when she wasn’t in my life, but I hadn’t realized how much until I had her back in my arms.

“No. I couldn’t make myself go without you.”

“It’s still playing in Brockton.” Brockton was about an hour drive from home, in another county. It was one of the places we frequented for our dates because it was rare to run into anyone there. The only trouble was, we normally avoided the mall because that was the one place where we might be spotted by someone from our town. It also happened to be where the theater was located.

“Is that a hint?”

“I thought you might want to go see it with me today, since we both have off work.”
