I cried out running my hands over his head to hold on to something, but his hair was too short. Dev grabbed my hand, placing it behind his head, right as he sucked in hard on me. I ground into his face chasing the orgasm he was luring out of me. Sloppy kisses, little nibbles, long sucks had me panting until he groaned against me, and the vibrations threw me over the edge.

“Dev!” I yelled my release so loud I’m sure Mountain View heard my cries as Dev kept up his punishing strokes against my clit that kept my body in a never-ending orgasm. After my shaking subsided, I pushed him away, my body was overstimulated, and I was overcome with exhaustion.

Dev kissed my stomach, kissing each breast and then giving me a kiss on the mouth. It was sensual and made hotter by the fact I could taste myself on his lips.

“Darcy, you’re a fucking goddess and hearing my name on your lips while you came was intoxicating. Maybe I’ll grow out my hair, so you have something to hold on to in the future.” He kissed me again before getting off the bed. I stretched my body, wondering when the hell we could do that again.

I felt a warm towel in between my legs, but I was too exhausted to open my eyes. He put me under the covers and kissed my forehead. I dreamed we had plenty of time for us to do that over and over and over again.

EVAN

The last few days I had been lucky if I had gotten a few hours of sleep. After the feds busted the exchange—which was scary as fuck that almost led to me getting arrested—Lucio had been paranoid, angry as fuck and doing some really irrational things. Giovanni’s men had been hearing a multitude of things Lucio had been mouthing off about finding the rat in our midst and killing him.

There had been a few times I wanted to tell Giovanni to make a run for it to Denver with his uncle, but I knew he wouldn’t because that was a coward's way. He was relieved that what he did worked, but he wasn’t going to let it happen again.

We finally got through to Lucio telling him it was a fluke or maybe one of the girls was someone important and she ruined the exchange. It took a lot of convincing, but we got him to settle down. We found a great fighter for the cage that posted a ton of videos to YouTube. He had over a hundred thousand followers and was pretty well known, enough to bring in a lot of money. We were also able to run drugs to some dealers in UT netting us decent profits.

I was so exhausted from trying to bury this stupid sex trafficking mistake. All I wanted to do was to go make sure Darcy didn’t hate me. Driving down to the cabin was always soothing to me. I bought it three years ago, upgrading it because you just never knew when you needed to lie low, especially working with Lucio.

Pulling up to the cabin, I realized it was later than I thought it. The cabin was almost all dark. I hoped that Dev was still awake and we could talk over a beer. I was so burnt out from everything else going on that I desperately needed a getaway anyway.

I opened the front door when the sounds of whimpering and soft cries had me rushing through the door. When I didn’t see anyone in the main area, I slowly walked down the hall. I wasn’t expecting to find Dev with his face buried in Darcy’s pussy, with her tits on display and her cries of pleasure.

Fuck, I still remember how good she tasted.

I couldn’t stop watching as she ground into his face as he took her over the brink. She cried out his name like he was the answer to her prayers, and I wanted to murder him.

She was mine.

It took everything I had in me to not storm into the room to pull him off of her, but I couldn’t do that to Darcy. She didn’t need any more drama, plus, she looked like she was ready to pass out. Dev kissed her one last time before he got up to go to the bathroom. When he came out, he noticed me. He stilled for a second before he went to her.

I thought he was just going to crawl into bed with her, but I realized he was cleaning her up and tucking her into bed. He was caring for her like she meant something to him. My anger dissipated a fraction.

Actually, I was really fucking confused. As much as I wanted to be mad, I also felt like the weight on my shoulders had been relieved a little. If he cared about her, he would protect her against everything, because that’s just who Dev was. He was the most loyal asshole you will ever meet. If she had to be with someone, he was the best choice for her. He was a hundred times better than some frat boy or the douchey ski instructor she was talking to at her birthday.

Walking to the sofa, I sat on the edge, thinking about what the hell this meant. She obviously had moved on, but was it before or after we fucked in my car? I rested my forearms on my thighs, letting my head hang forward, wondering where the hell I went from here? What was my next move?

The sounds of Dev’s boots echoed through the cabin as he walked down the hallway. I looked up, his face was guarded, with no emotion on it. One thing he did inherit from Lucio was his ability to hide his emotions. I for one was shit at it, it was hard to keep what I was thinking off my face most of the time. Right now he saw everything I was feeling. We stared at each other, while I waited to see if he was going to defend himself or his actions.

“You’re not going to say anything?” I said, attempting to keep my voice leveled.

“If you want me to apologize, that’s not going to happen.” He shrugged.

“You knew that we had history, that I was trying to work my way out of this,” I said, with more emotion than I intended to.

“Look, I didn’t expect for this to happen,” he said, still looking unfazed.

“What, did you just magically fall on her pussy?” I snapped.

He rolled his eyes. “You know Darcy better than I, you think that she would just let this happen because we were here?”

I did know Darcy. She didn’t just randomly jump in bed with guys, not that I made sure of it, but she did just randomly fuck me in my car. Dread pooled in my chest. What if she slept with me in the car because that was it? It was her goodbye.

The possibility hit me like a train, dragging my heart through the mud. I wanted to be mad or upset, but she had every right to move on. I made a promise that I had every intention of keeping it, but life kept pushing us apart like we were the same pole of a magnet that kept repelling each other. When we got too close, life worked harder to push us apart.

The cabin felt like it was caving in on me. I got up, ignoring what Dev was telling me, and walked out the door while I fished my keys out of my pocket. Pushing the unlock button I opened the door only for it to close on me. Dev was standing in front of me.
