Devlin

My feelings for her have grown since the moment we met. Every hour every day, to the point I never wanted to let her go. I couldn’t believe someone tried to kill her. It tore me apart that someone was willing to take her from me. So much so, that I went against doctor’s orders and checked myself out.

I was already on my way back to the house when Reggie called me with the recording. I dialed the police and gave them the lead I had on the bomber. I’ll give them the recording after Reggie transfers it, making sure to keep a copy.

When I came in I could tell she was happy to see me, yet scared at the same time. I watched her drop the big ass kitchen knife, telling me she wasn’t afraid of me. My heart swelled in ways I’d never felt before. It was in that moment I knew what I was feeling; I was in love with her. It wasn’t normal to be with someone you’d hardly spoken to, but it couldn’t be helped. She was magnificent on paper and reality.

I looked down at her soft pale skin while she slept so peacefully. If my phone hadn’t been ringing off the hook this morning I’d still be in bed, wrapped around my Selene. Instead, I had to meet with the police. I called my mother and asked for a favor. It was nearly noon and I needed to wake her up. The cops would be here in an hour and fuck if I would let them see her like this. My shirt tugged downward in her sleep, revealing one of her hard, raspberry nipples. I was tempted to take the peak into my mouth and suck it until she woke up.

The buzzer rang, so I walked to the front entrance. “Good morning, son,” my dad said, followed by my mother who was holding three shopping bags.

“Sorry, I didn’t have a lot of time. I hope this will work.”

“Thanks, mom. I just feel bad that she doesn’t have anything. It was all lost in the explosion.”

“Good mo…” she stopped when she saw my parents. I turned to see her looking messy and sexy all at once.

“Babe, my parents came to drop some stuff off for you to wear.”

“Oh goodness, thanks.” She smiled so prettily.

“I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I tried to pick something neutral,” my mother said.

“Thank you. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll go make myself presentable.”

“Thanks, babe. If it had been the cops, I might be going to jail for knocking them out.”

“Ridiculous,” she said, rolling her eyes with a hidden smile. She scurried off to the bedroom.

“How are you feeling?”

“I had the best night of sleep ever. And I mean sleep by the way.”

“That’s so good to hear. I’ve asked my guys to give you the extra support you need, if you want it.”

“No, Dad. I think we’re good. He was picked up at four in the morning for questioning. Come on, I need some coffee to deal with all this.” I grunted as I shuffled into the kitchen. My parents followed behind cautiously.

“Devlin, are you sure you should be up and about?” my Dad asked just as I winced while reaching for the coffee.

My parents stared at me anxiously. “I’m sure I shouldn’t be, but what can I do?” I asked.

“You can sit down and let me deal with it,” my mother said, pushing on my shoulder to have me sit at the table.

“The police should be here any minute to take our information and listen to the recording.”

“Have you listened to it?”

“Not yet, Dad. I didn’t want to get angrier than I already was. Another sleepless night wasn’t what I needed.” If I’d heard it, I would have been up planning this shithead’s demise. Thoughts of gripping him around the throat and squeezing played in my head during my short stay in the hospital.

“I’m sure it helped. You look better than you did yesterday, but you still need to recover.”

“I know, Mom,” I grumbled. I could hear footsteps coming from the bedroom and was pleasantly surprised to see Selene walk into the kitchen looking beautiful.

“These jeans fit perfectly. How did you know my size?”

“Devlin got it from your clothes this morning.”

“Thank you for everything. I can pay you back for the items.”

“Stop that young lady; it was my pleasure.”

“Babe, I forgot to tell you, but the police will be here in about fifteen minutes.”

“Oh,” she uttered. I saw the frustration on her face. They didn’t believe her before and it cost her so much. She was living on the run with no money and full of fear.

“Come here, babe.” She came up to me. “Don’t worry about it. We have every word he said to you recorded. He screwed himself.”

“I’m sorry, but I won’t believe it until it happens. I could identify him, and they still didn’t arrest him.”

“I know. We’ll get through this though.” I pressed my lips to her hand, then massaged the backside.

“Thank you, Devlin. You don’t have to do this for me.”

“Babe, I’m not doing it just for you, but for us. He’s trying to take away our future and I refuse to let that happen.”

“Selene, do you want some coffee?”

“Oh please. I’d love some.” She gave my mom a grateful smile and I wanted to pull her into my arms and kiss her. I was hurting and trying to take it easy, so I didn’t. Plus, walking around with a stiff one wasn’t going to do anyone any good. I wanted to spread her over the table and fuck her until she came all over my hard cock before emptying myself in her. Alas, that wasn’t going to happen for a while.

Selene went around me to make her own coffee. My mom shooed her away and I tugged on Selene’s hand to make her sit down. “Relax, Selene this has been a rough day for you, but it should be looking up.”

“It already is, Mrs. Jacobs,” she said, turning her smile to me. 

I couldn’t stop the raging need to respond. My hand slinked around her neck, cupping it and pulling her face to mine. Locking eyes with her, I gave her a wink before kissing her hard, deep, and passionately. With her ass half off the chair, she rested her hand on my knees. I growled against her swollen lips and claimed another.

The buzzer rang, jolting us out of our kiss. I looked around to find my parents had left the room.

“Oops, I suppose we have to meet with the cops now.”
