Chapter Thirty-Nine
Nick
Evie’s parents had camped out in my apartment for three days straight. We’d watched movies, played board games, and put together a one-thousand-piece puzzle. They’d bought a giant blow-up mattress and slept on the floor in my room. Evie took my bed and I bunked on the couch. They were pretty cool about everything, though. They always went out for breakfast, leaving Evie and me alone for a couple of hours.
Today was the first day I’d been at my shop in almost a week. Bleu and my other boy Hawkins had held down the fort. They hadn’t burned the place to a pile of ash, so I was taking that as a solid win.
“Hey, little bird, what are you doing here?”
I smiled when Evie walked into my office, two green smoothies in her hand. I made a face when she handed me one, but took a long pull anyway. I’d do anything to make her happy, including drinking that disgusting stuff.
“My parents left a while ago and the apartment felt super lonely.”
“Could you be any needier?” Bleu peeked his head into the room, smacking a loud kiss on Evie’s cheek. He grinned, taking the smoothie out of her hand and sitting in the chair across from my desk.
“I can’t believe your parents actually left. I figured they were planning on moving in.” Not that I was complaining or anything, but I was ready to sleep in bed with my girl.
Evie perched on my lap, taking my drink since Bleu had confiscated hers. “Well, they left because I told them I’d come home for a few days.” She took a sip before continuing. “There is a plane waiting for me at the airport.”
“What? You’re leaving?” I sounded like a whiny bitch.
“You two are making me sick.” And Bleu called me on it.
Evie wrapped her arms around my neck. “I was hoping you’d come with me.”
“I would love to, but I haven’t worked in days. I need to go through all these expenses and—”
“I can do it.” Bleu slurped more of the blended veggies, the straw clenched between his back teeth. “Don’t give me that face.” He shook his finger at me. “I’ve been working here with you since the day we opened. And I’ve been doing everything by myself since you’ve been home taking care of Valley of the Dolls over there.”
Evie gasped, her jaw dropping open dramatically.
He rolled his eyes. “Tell me I’m wrong, Anne Welles.”
“Words fail me.” She sent him a sassy smile. “I’m genuinely shocked that you’ve read a book.”
“Watched the movie.” He grinned. “I figured if there were gonna be actresses mixing booze and pills I was bound to see some boob action. Man was I disappointed.”
“Charming.” She turned to me, a hopeful smile on her face. “Well? What do you say? Ready to meet the rest of the family?”
I did want to meet Evie’s family. But more than that, the thought of being away from her for more than a few hours was almost too much to bear. I could have lost her. I wanted to handcuff her to my side so she was always safe.
Maybe I should talk to a therapist too?
“Okay, little bird, let’s go spend some time with all the Devil’s Spawn.”

When Evie said that there was a plane waiting for her, I figured something on the smaller side. I mean, we could have easily driven the three hours down to Austin. But when she instructed me to pull up inside a large hangar, I’d taken off my shades and dropped my jaw. It was a huge private jet.
“This is your family’s personal aircraft?” I climbed out of my Scout, grabbing both our bags from the back.
“It’s RiffRaff Records’. The plane belongs to the label.” Evie smiled politely at the older gentlemen standing by the steps. They tipped their hats to her. I assumed they were the pilots. “Hey guys, thanks for making a second run today.” When she got close enough, she hugged them both. “This is my boyfriend, Nick Barrens.”
I shook their hands, exchanging pleasantries, and then ascended the stairs behind Evie, checking out her ass the whole way. “You’re on a hugging basis with the pilots?”
Evie pointed to where I could drop the luggage. “We’ve had the same two pilots since I was born. My Aunt Lo hates to fly, so she said she wanted to be able to know and trust the people in control of her life while she was hovering in the sky in a metal coffin.”
“That’s a nice image.” I collapsed onto the long, light-tan leather sofa, stretching my feet out in front of me. “I’m not gonna lie to you, little bird, this seems opulent. I could have driven us to Austin.”
“Yes, but in the car, you would’ve had to keep at least one hand on the wheel.” She climbed in my lap, kissing me suggestively.
I took her ass in a tight grip, with both hands. “Hmm…I think I’m starting to see the appeal here.” I used my hold on her to make her grind against my quickly hardening cock. We’d had nothing but heated glances and stolen kisses while her parents were staying at my place. But here, we were all alone with an hour to do what we wanted.
“We’ll be taking off in less than five minutes, Miss James.”
Evie climbed off my lap, buckling herself in beside me with a sheepish look on her face. “Thank you, Albert.” The older of the two pilots winked and then stepped into the cockpit, closing the door behind him.
She helped me buckle in, the back of her hand brushing against my dick more times than necessary. “Are you trying to torture me, little bird?”
“Just trying to keep the mood until we get through takeoff.”
“The mood is fine. Keep your hands to yourself before I come in my pants like a teenager. It’s been like five days.” I wanted her body, no doubt. But it was more than that; I missed holding her. I missed kissing her and pressing my body against hers while we slept. “Tell me the order of the kids again, I don’t want to spend all weekend messing up names.” A distraction, until I could find a door and get her naked.
Evie reached over and pulled her cell from her purse, opening up her pictures app. “Landry is the oldest. She’s married to Brody and they have a son named Wyatt.” She was showing me a pic of a happy, gorgeous family, with a little boy who looked exactly like his dad. Blond hair, big smiles, and blue eyes. “Then there is Beau and Halen, in that order, and those are the two that are together. They built a house on the compound and Beau works in the art department at RiffRaff Records.” The photo was of a guy giving a girl a piggyback ride underneath a giant oak with a treehouse in it.
“And Beau is the one you’re closest to?”
“Yes.” She swiped the screen, bringing up the next picture. “The twins, Cash and Crue. This one, Crue, was dating our other cousin Avory, but they recently broke up. Cash is in Europe with his new girlfriend.” She swiped again. “That’s Avory and that’s her younger sister, Marley. Halen, Avory, and Marley are Dash Conner’s daughters. Crue, Cash, and Jett…” She swiped again, showing me a dark-haired kid wearing a ball cap. “That’s Jett. They are Luke Matthews’s sons.” She swiped a few times until stopping on an image of a young ballerina. “That’s Emmie, my little sister.”
“You two look so much alike.” Emmie reminded me a lot of the younger Evie I’d first met.
“I know. We get that a lot.” She put her phone away, and unbuckled her seatbelt. “Takeoff is over.” She stood, and a wicked grin spread across her face that made my dick twitch.
“Shouldn’t we find a room with a door? What if they come back in here?”
Evie threw her head back, giggling. “Are you kidding? Those two men have been flying the Devil’s Share and their chicks for decades. They know not to come back into this area after takeoff.”
I looked around the large space. “Your parents have sex on this plane?”
“Stop.” She leaned forward, putting her hand over my mouth. “It’s best to not ask those kinds of questions, okay?”
I nodded and she moved her hands down to my lap, unbuttoning my pants and pulling them out of the way. I slipped my hands up her thighs, dragging her panties off under her dress, helping her step out of them. I watched her every move as she placed her hands on my shoulders, climbing on top of me, her knees on either side of my thighs. “Are you okay? Your knee…”
“Stop.” She shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Her face told me not to ask again; she didn’t want anything from her attack being part of us coming together now. I fisted my dick, lining my head up with her center. Her hair was like a curtain about us as she slowly sank down, burying me inside her. “Fuck, baby.”
I put my hands on her smooth ass, guiding her movements. She was biting her lips, her gaze hooded. “Nicky…”
“I know, you feel so fucking perfect.” Her nails were digging into my shoulders, her hips grinding against me. “Just like that, Evie. Fuck, don’t stop.” She was in control, and I wasn’t going to last.
She let her head fall back, my name on her lips as her pussy fisted my dick. She clenched around me, wave after wave milking out my release. I clenched my jaw as I fucked her through it. I didn’t pull out, not this time. I didn’t want to. I wanted to stay inside my girl for hours. I didn’t want the plane to land. I wanted it to circle the globe for the next three days. We’d fuck on every surface.
Evie rested her forehead against mine, her breathing still not under control. “We have another thirty minutes until landing.”
I picked her up, laying her down on the couch as my dick started to harden again inside her. “Good.”
