I gasped as Dev’s hand slid from over my mouth.

“Devin, have you lost your mind?” I admonished, but the look in his eyes had my heartbeat accelerating. “No. Don’t even think about it. Haven’t you gotten enough? You fucked me three times this morning.”

He took a deep breath, his chest expanding as he scanned me from head to toe. He lingered on my breasts in a way that made my nipples pebble and my pussy flood with need.

“You are mine.” He pushed me hard against the wall and cupped my crotch.

His touch shot through me like a fire igniting. I held my breath in hopes of pushing back the desire pulsing to life inside my body.

“This is mine. Don’t ever let Veer or any man think they have a chance with you.”

How could he be jealous of Veer? How could Devin not understand that the only man I’d ever want was him?

“Veer is my friend. I think of him as a brother. How many times do I need to tell you this? Nothing has ever happened between us and it never will.”

He gripped the bottom of my dress, jerking it up, and then ripped my underwear, making me gasp.

“You can’t fuck me here. We’re in a housekeeper’s closet. Anyone could come by or hear us.”

Dev ignored me and flipped me around until my front pressed against the wall.

The telltale sound of his belt and zipper echoed in the small space.

My heart thundered in my ears as my pussy swelled and creamed, wanting Dev’s cock to fill me to the brim.

“I will fuck you anywhere I damn please. This pussy curves to the shape of my dick. I think you need a reminder.” His fingers slid between my folds, teased my now aching clit while spreading my desire up and down my slit. “From the way you’re dripping, I’d say you want it as bad as I do.”

Before I could respond, he impaled me with one hard shove, making my body arch against the wall.

“Oh God, Dev,” I cried out.

“Does it feel good, baby?” He rolled his hips, pressing against the sensitive spot deep inside.

I panted, “Yes.”

“Then don’t ever forget that I am the only man in your life.” He pulled out to the tip of his flared head and slammed back into me.

“You have no room to say anything. That bitch Veronica has her nasty sights set on you. She talked about you as if you belonged to her.” I tried to push him off, but it only made him pound into me harder.

“Are you jealous, my love?”

I growled, hating how much I needed him. “Of course I’m jealous. I’m also hurt. How would you like it if I were photographed with another man and then the society magazines posted an article about him as my potential future spouse?”

“I’d hate it,” he said against my ear and continued to pound me, pressing my sensitive nipples against the wall. “Just as I want to rip the throats out of the editors that put you on the covers of those magazines. You are not single. You are my fucking wife.”

“I rest my case, Your Honor,” I gritted out, hating that I couldn’t get enough of him. “And for the record. I hate that social climber.”

I should be so angry at him for manhandling me, but all my body wanted to do was scream for release.

“Sami, I don’t want her. I want the woman who makes my dick hard by just breathing in my direction. The woman who loves me so much that she’s put up with my bullshit for years. The very woman whose pussy I’m pummeling with my cock and plan to fill with my babies.”

“Tell that to Veronica. She thinks she can make you forget all about your wife. The wife you haven’t introduced to anyone, by the way. She’s already planning to be your date for next year’s Governor’s Ball. She thinks I’m insignificant.”

Dev grasped my throat in a light hold and tilted my head back so our eyes could lock.

Lust and need filled his gaze.

“Nothing can make me forget my wife. Veronica is more plastic than a Barbie. I have a thing for an Indian brunette with natural features, a fiery temper, and a body I could get lost in for hours. You’re the only woman I plan to be seen with for the rest of my life.”

His words made my heart skip a beat, and the irritation I felt at the conversation I’d had with Veronica disappeared. But he had to know I’d never put up with his crap ever again.

“If you ever take another woman to any more events, I will never forgive you. I don’t care if nothing ever happened with them. Don’t ever think of coming back home again. We’ll be divorced before you know what hit you.”

“Are we really talking about you divorcing me while I’m fucking you? I must not be giving it to you good enough.”

Dev’s pace changed, and all I could do was focus on the sensations coursing through my body.

“More,” I cried out. “Harder, please Dev. I’m almost there.”

Dev released his hold on my neck, kissed my shoulder, and then covered my hands, pressing against the wall with his.

“Fuck yourself against me, baby. Show me what only my cock can satisfy.”

I pushed back, meeting each thrust for thrust.

My body heated and pussy quickened.

Right there, yes. Right there.

I threw my head back as my orgasm surged forward, coursing through every pore in my body like a bomb detonating.

My pussy contracted hard, clamping down on Dev’s pulsing cock and trying to draw out the sensation longer.

“You’re not done yet. I need to hear my name on your lips at least two more times,” he whispered into my ear.

And I did, again and again.

I tried to say something but could only moan—verbalizing my feelings wasn’t possible.

Dev was still thrusting inside me, and then a few seconds after my third orgasm, he came, calling out my name and shooting his cum deep inside my still-trembling pussy.

I rested my face on the wall, barely able to remember my name, while Dev leaned against my back, trying to catch his breath.

“Oh God. What have you done to me?”

“I’ve just shown you to whom you belong. And remember this, if you flirt with any more men, I’ll do it again.”

A giggle bubbled up and I shook my head. “You are absolutely insane, Devin Camden. No wonder I love you so much.”

“Say that again.”

“What?” I asked over my shoulder, but Dev pulled out of my body and turned me to face him.

“Tell me again how you feel. Tell me again that you love me and I haven’t killed what we shared by neglecting you. That I’m not pushing you toward the man who’s perfect for you.”

My face softened as I cupped his cheek. The uncertainty in his eyes made me realize how much he feared I’d leave him for Veer. Both Jacinta and V were right—Devin did view V as competition.

“Dev, I’ve told you over and over.”

“No, you talked about loving me. You haven’t said the words to me.”

“I love you, Devin James Camden. You are the only man I have loved and will ever love.”

He kissed first my forehead, followed by my nose, and last my lips, before he whispered, “You are my everything, Sami. Love doesn’t describe what I feel for you.”

“Oh Devin.” I leaned my head against him, savoring the feel of this moment.

A knock sounded on the door, making me groan.

“I know you’re in there,” Jacinta shouted with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

“Jaci, go away,” I said as I pulled back from Devin and tried to fix my dress.

“You have a cabin for the shit you’re doing in there. Dammit, there are at least five bedrooms upstairs you could have used. Now I’m going to have to sanitize the housekeeper’s storage closet.”

“Was there a purpose for seeking us out?” Dev tucked himself back into his pants. “Or are you just being an annoying little sister?”

“You need to get your asses out onto the patio. People are noticing your disappearances, especially Mom.”

“We’ll be there in a few.” I scowled at Devin. “Dammit, Dev. I’m wrinkled. Why do you have this need to bunch up my clothes all the time? Ashur is about to arrive, and I look a hot mess.”

“No, you look like you were thoroughly fucked by your husband.”

“The last thing my brother wants to see is his sister sex-tousled and flushed.”

He pushed my hands away from the hem of my dress, lifted it back up, and used my torn underwear to clean up the stickiness between my legs.

When he was satisfied, he pulled the flowery fabric down, straightened his clothes, and then tucked my wet thong into the pocket of his slacks.

“Now you are presentable.”

“Thank you.”

He looked up from buckling his belt and smiled. “It was my pleasure.”

My heart skipped a beat. “You are too good looking for your own good.”

“Are you complaining?” His cheeks reddened.

It always seemed to embarrass him when I mentioned his looks.

“No. What woman doesn’t want a man who looks almost as good as her?” I joked and stood on tiptoes to kiss him.

At that moment the door slammed open, and an annoyed Jacinta walked in with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face.

“Seriously, you two have got to get down there. Ash’s car is approaching the house.” Jacinta grabbed my arm and yanked me from Dev. “Sam, you look like you’ve been freshly fucked.”

“That’s because she has.” Dev wedged his way between Jacinta and me, sliding his hands around our waists. “And I’ll do it again if you don’t keep your gubernatorial candidate away from her.”

“He’s her family. Honestly, you need to get over this jealousy when it comes to Veer George.”

“That’s what I told him,” I said. “Besides, I think Jacinta is the one he wants to do delicious, dirty things to.”

Dev paused. “Someone kill me now.”

“At least you’re thinking about Veer and Jaci instead of me. Can you imagine it? An independent with liberal tendencies and a conservative, getting it on. They’d make politically hybrid babies.”

“Sam, stop before you give him a coronary.”

“Did you notice she didn’t object to the image I painted about her and V?”

“Sami?”

“Yes, love?”

“Stop talking. You aren’t helping.”

“Sorry. I was only trying to make a point.”

“On that note, I need to check on the caterers. Head out and tell Mom I’ll be there in a minute.” Jacinta slipped out of Dev’s arm and went down the hallway to the kitchen.

The second Dev and I walked onto the patio leading down to the shore, multiple sets of eyes focused on us.

“You know all the single ladies and half the married ones are going to hate me and have visions of throwing me overboard the moment we leave the dock.”

“The only woman whose happiness I give two shits about is yours.” He cupped my face and kissed my forehead. “Come on. I see Ash’s car.”

We took the steps leading to the driveway and joined Carol and Tyler.

“Where’d you two disappear to, Mr. and Mrs. Camden?” Tyler said it loud enough to be in earshot of everyone around us.

“I had to show Sami some rooms she hadn’t seen before.”

Tyler snorted. “That’s why your shirt and Samina’s dress are wrinkled.”

Carol popped Tyler on the back of the head. “Tyler David Camden. You know better than to comment on their clothes when we’re surrounded by company. I have no idea where I went wrong with you boys.”

“Hey, what did I do? I’m merely escorting my wife to meet her brother.” Dev pretended he was offended.

“You know what you did. Hello, Samina dear.”

“Hello.”

“Word of advice.” She scanned my attire and shook her head while glaring at Dev. “Don’t give in so easily. Make him work for it. How are you ever going to get your way if you don’t leave him wanting on occasion? How do you think the senator and I made it through forty years?”

“Mom, people can hear you.” Jacinta sounded scandalized as she approached.

“Seriously,” Tyler added. “The last thing I want to think of is you and Dad having sex.”

“You can’t possibly think the tooth fairy brought you into existence?”

Tyler groaned. “Stork, Mom, not tooth fairy.”

“Same difference, they’re both made up. The point I was trying to make is, don’t put out unless Devin makes it worth your while.”

“I do, Mom. That’s why she’s standing here with a well-satisfied sex glow.”

“Devin, honey.”

“Yes, Mom.”

“Shut up.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

I loved this woman. She could make any situation fun.

I grinned as the limo door opened, ready to hug my brother, but immediately my smile vanished and tears filled my eyes.

“Mommy.”
