“After about a three-hour discussion they finally came around, they’re leery of what his intentions are but it’s Dev and everyone loves him,” she said with a shrug.

“Uh huh, so how’s the sex?” Mindy asked. “Cause the two of you are making it nice and toasty in here for once.”

“I think I’ll plead the fifth on that one,” she stated, as the doors opened, and a group of guys walked in.

“That good?” she whispered to her, and Madison couldn’t stop the grin that spread across her face. “Jesus…better?”

“World annihilating perfection,” she replied before a pair of hands grabbed her in a hug.

“Lookie who we’ve got here boys, if it isn’t our pretty Mads,” the guy attached to them said and she laughed. “What do you say we give her a real welcome home? Kisses all around?”

“Stop it Joe,” she said seeing Devon get up. She stepped out of his arms and pressed a kiss to his cheek as she slowed Devon’s movements with a hand. “Joe, I’d like you to meet my boyfriend Devon. Dev, this is Joe, Becky’s younger brother by a year.”

“Ah…the guy who had a crush on you since you were little,” Devon replied dropping a kiss on her lips.

“For the love of all things holy Mads, is that what you really tell people about me?” Joe asked looking between them.

“Only people who are likely to come home with me,” she stated, before going through and introducing everyone to Devon. The evening was going by surprisingly well, she could tell how much Devon was restraining himself and she was proud of him for it. She had years of dealing with these people, but he’d only had hours. She rested her head against his shoulder and felt his hand slide through her hair and then down her arm and back up, drawing attention to them.

“So, you’re stealing our Mads?” Joe asked with a glance at how far his hand was straying towards the curve of her breasts.

“That’s the plan, keep her in California with me, make her happy,” Devon answered. “She’s stunningly perfect in my life.”

“But the question is do you love her or just like…”

“The way she looks,” Mindy said cutting off what Eli had been about to say.

“Well, she’s gorgeous and all my friends are jealous that she’s mine, but from the moment I kissed her I knew she was going to play hell with my single status.”

“What’d you do man, read ‘How to Impress the Parents’ or something with an answer like that?” Eli asked.

“Just telling the truth, Maddy’s always been special, even when she was a student and wrote the most amazing paper about a film they’d watched. That turned into friendship, which turned into a relationship, which has turned into her stealing my heart.”

She dipped her head to hide her grin at the looks on the girls’ faces and the comical ones from the guys. She was about to speak when someone broke into their conversation.

“If it isn’t the slut and one of her cocks…”

Her spine stiffened and she felt Devon tense beside her. “Dev don’t…”

“He’s not going to get by saying shit like that about you anymore, baby.”

“Just speaking the truth,” Tony stated.

“I told you once to leave her the hell alone,” Devon replied getting up from the long table to glare at him.

“Tony back off,” Becky said as Joe and Eli turned around and got up to show him out.

“I told you all she’d turned into a slut out there. There’s your proof, she’s been screwing a teacher for years.”

“The only thing I know is that you’ve lost it man,” Joe stated. “She dumped you three and a half years ago, get over it.”

“She has all of you fooled, tell them Madison. Tell them how long it took you to start screwing your way through the campus population.”

“I’ve never screwed my way through the campus population,” she said truthfully. “I’ll give you the email address for everyone in my graduating class and the one below me if you want, ask them.”

“A liar and a whore…”

“Call her that again and you’ll be sipping your meals through a straw,” Devon warned. He was the only one who could get by calling her a whore, but even that was by calling her his ass whore. If someone else tried to call her that, he went nuts.
