Chapter Fourteen
Beth
After the day they had, Beth was nervous. She really couldn’t explain why, though. Walking across the hall with Sledge, she had butterflies in her stomach. What was happening between them? What was his plan? She didn’t know if she could trust her gut. She wanted Devin. She wanted a life with him and Derek, but did he want the same thing? So many questions, and she needed answers. But, as Devin opened his bedroom door, she knew she would have to wait for the answers.
Devin stopped dead in his tracks. Someone had been in his room. It wasn’t that it was trashed, but things were not in their normal spots. Items on the dresser were moved and the closet door was open. The drawers of the bedside tables weren’t closed completely. Little things that most would never think twice about, put Devin on edge.
“Someone has been in here.” Beth could hear the anger in his voice.
Devin pulled his cellphone out of his pocket and called Reaper and Diesel. Both entered the room together less than five minutes later.
“What’s up Boss?” Diesel asked.
“Yeah, what’s the emergency? I was about to lay pipe to your sister.” Reaper grinned.
“First of all, fuck you Zander. If you ever say something like that to me again, I’ll cut your dick off,” Devin deadpanned.
“That means you’d have to touch my dick first asshole,” Reaper laughed.
“Second of all, someone has been in my room snooping around,” Sledge continued without missing a beat.
All the laughter died in the room. Beth just stood there, wondering who would be stupid enough to come into the President’s room, without permission. Feeling out of place, she started walking toward the door. This was club business and she knew it really was not her place to be involved in it. She was not a club member or Sledge’s woman, not really. Nothing was official between them. As of right now, she was just Derek’s mom.
“I am just going to go back to my room,” she said quietly to nobody in particular.
“What?” Devin asked, turning to face her.
“I’m going to go back to my room so y’all can handle club business,” she told him.
“Beth, this is your room. You don’t have to go anywhere. As my woman, this concerns you, too.”
Beth watched as everyone looked at her. She was his woman? When did that happen? They hadn’t even talked about rekindling their relationship. Feeling stunned, Beth sat on the edge of the bed. The conversation continued around her but she didn’t pay any attention to it. It wasn’t until Devin touched her shoulder that she realized Reaper and Diesel were both gone. They were alone again.
Looking up into Devin’s eyes, the same eyes as their son, that she finally broke her silence. “I’m your woman?”
Smiling at her, Devin pulled her into a standing position. “Yes Beth, you are my woman. Is that okay with you?” she could tell he was nervous; she heard it in his voice.
“We just never talked about it. I didn’t know where I stood. I mean, I know I am the mother of your son. Our son. I know we’ve had sex, but I didn’t know that meant we were now in a relationship.” She was scared to hope. Devin was the only man to ever own her heart.
“Beth, I love you. Always have, always will. You aren’t just my son’s mother; you are my heart, woman. How can you not know that?” The sincerity was etched deep in Devin’s voice. Beth couldn’t help the hopefulness that bloomed in her chest. “Eight years, I have spent without you. Eight years, I have dreamed, hoped, prayed that I could hold you in my arms again. That I could love you again. Now, you are here. Our son is here. I plan to spend the rest of my life doing all the things I dreamed about.”
Beth threw her arms around Devin’s shoulders and buried her face in his neck. “I love you too, Devin.”
Pulling her face in front of his, he demanded, “Say it again!”
“I love you, Devin Derek Parks,” she repeated.
Devin’s mouth crashed against hers. The kiss was intense. Beth felt it clear to her toes. This wouldn’t be a romantic joining. No, this would be hot. Fire. Explosive.
Beth felt Devin pulling at her clothes. Stepping out of his arms, they both stripped naked in seconds, needing to feel each other. Skin against skin.
Once completely naked, Devin pulled Beth back into his arms. Nothing had ever felt more perfect to her. This was where she had always belonged. Devin carried her to the bed and lay down on it, between her legs.
“I need you Beth. Not just in our bed, but I need you with me - always.”
“You have me Devin, always. Now, make love to me.”
Devin kissed his way down her neck, past her shoulders. He ran his tongue around her nipple then bit down slightly on the tip. Beth grabbed his head, needing more.
“Oh God!” she exclaimed.
Chuckling, Devin treated the other nipple with the same attention. He had always loved her breasts. He ravished them. Licking, sucking, and biting. Driving Beth crazy with want and need until she lay beneath him in a panting mess. She was so wet; she could feel her juices between her legs.
“Devin, please!” she begged.
“What, baby?” he asked.
“I need you. I need to feel you inside of me, please!” Beth didn’t care how desperate she sounded. She needed him with every fiber of her being. The ache inside of her was unbearable.
Devin wrapped his arms around her and switched their positions. Beth wasted no time. She grabbed ahold of him and slid down his length, causing both of them to moan out loud.
“Ride me, love,” he demanded.
Beth placed her hands on his wide chest, and slowly lifted her hips, savoring every inch of the man beneath her.
“Baby, you’re going to kill me moving that slow,” Devin moaned.
Beth slid back down and rotated her hips when she was fully seated on top of him. Hearing the quick intake of breath coming from Devin was a major turn-on. Raising her hips, she began to move faster. A slow rise up and a quick drop down. Faster and faster until she felt her body shatter. Before she had time to recover, Devin reversed their positions again.
“Now it’s my turn,” he said with a wicked grin.
Devin grabbed her legs and placed them over his shoulders, leaning down into her. Beth had never felt so full. Devin pulled out slowly then slammed back into her.
“Fuck!” she screamed. The pain of having him hit the bottom with such force turned into pleasure as he continued the assault on her body.
“That’s my girl. Let me hear you baby.”
Beth dug her nails into his forearms, trying her best to hold on as Devin pounded into her. Over and over their bodies came together with such force, it shook the bed. She could feel her orgasm rushing towards her. When it finally hit, it was so powerful, Beth could have sworn she saw stars explode in her head.
“Shit!” Devin grunted as he came deep inside of her. Lowering her legs, Devin lay beside her and pulled her in close. “I love you, baby girl,” he whispered in her ear.
“I love you too, handsome,” she mumbled, already falling asleep. Everything was finally right in her world. Beth had her son, a home, and both with the man she loved. Yep, everything was perfect. Finally.
