Page 87 of The Air You Breathe

“I don’t mind getting under that blanket to lick that pussy until you scream,” Evan whispered in my ear, giving me chills. “Or we can get our hearts racing while I fuck you, until you scream our name, hoping no one catches us.”

“There’s always the car, too,” Dev’s husky voice said, as his hand went up my thigh grazing my pussy.

“We can make it work here, we’ve definitely done it before, right Darcy?” Evan sounded amused as I clenched my thighs on Dev’s hand.

“Three people might be too much.” I swallowed roughly.

“I have tools in the back so I can take one of the seats out.” Dev shrugged, and I stared at him in disbelief.

“Even better.” Evan chuckled, as Dev parked in front of the Deli.

“I’m going to get the food,” Dev said.

“Oh, I want some cookies,” I said, getting out of the car, hearing Evan say something but I wasn’t paying attention.

“I could have gotten them for you,” Dev said, opening the door, when a man came out and walked right into me.

“Careful, you need to watch where you are going.” The man grabbed my waist, making my skin crawl. I looked up to see a tall man who looked similar to the man who had come to the coffee shop. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as Dev yanked me out of his grasp, pushing me behind him.

“Paolo,” Dev growled.

“Devlin,” Paolo sneered, glancing at me, then looked around. “She’s beautiful. Geraldo thought so, too.”

“Keep walking, Paolo.” Evan walked up to us, looking calm despite the tension in the air.

“Evan, you know you hold no weight here, it's only a matter of time before Lucio decides what to do with you.”

His threat was loud and clear. I grabbed on to Dev’s bicep as fear made me get closer to him. Paolo was the same height as Evan, but he was twice as bulky.

“I would be careful Paolo, Lucio might send you to your disappearance.” He shrugged like he didn’t just threaten to kill him like Geraldo.

Paolo’s nostrils flared. “Is that a threat or an admission?”

“Just stating facts.”

“I know it was you—”

“Excuse me!” A woman behind Paolo waited for him to move.

He glanced behind himself, seeing a woman and a little girl, then looked back at Evan. “Make sure you keep an eye on your surroundings, you never know what might happen.” He walked up to Evan letting the woman pass. “I hear he might be cleaning house.”

“I also hear the feds are cleaning house too, I wouldn’t get too comfortable either way. Come on, Darcy,” he said, reaching his hand out to me. I grabbed his hand as we entered the deli.

“Ava is turning into a beautiful woman, too,” Paolo called out, making Dev get in his face. Dev was shorter than him but just as bulky.

“I would—”

“Dev,” Evan said, interrupting him. Paolo smirked at his outburst. “I heard Ava also knows a girl by the name of Claire.”

Paolo's face paled, giving Evan a glare before he left. Once he was gone, I sagged in relief, but anxiety was still aching in my chest. I had so many questions, but I knew this wasn’t the place to ask. We picked up our food in silence and continued on our drive to the lake.

We parked in a different spot this time, but no one got out of the car. Dev finally broke the silence and sighed, getting out to open the door for me.

“Come on beautiful, let’s eat,” he said, helping me out of the car, but didn’t move so we were really close when I got out. “Are you ok?”

“Yeah,” I said quickly, even though I was a little freaked out.

He cupped my face with his big hands. “Are you ok?”
