Mine to fuck.
Mine to love.
Like hell will I allow anyone else to take what I claimed. To hurt what belongs to me.
Devon stares at me, brows furrowed, then nods, and I breathe a little easier. Now I just need to come up with a way to convince him to stay permanently.
Hell, maybe I should just tie him up, slap a collar around his neck. He wouldn't have much choice then, would he?
But nah, the wild little shit would fight me every step of the way, and the last thing I want is for him to resent me, to think being with me is anything but good. Especially not now, not when there's this flicker of hope trying to light up the shitstorm inside me.
Speaking of, there is one thing I’m curious about. “Why didn’t you try putting me down in my sleep? You could’ve easily taken my gun.”
His lips quirk up, a glimpse of the attitude I know so well. “Because I liked it. The sex. And maybe I like you too.”
The admission warms me. Last night meant something more to him after all. Is that why he tried to run in the middle of the night? He got scared?
Fuck if he ain’t the only one.
Never expected to feel so possessive over someone. Won’t walk away from him again, that’s for sure.
“Maybe you like me?”
His neck and cheeks turn red. “Yup. Still deciding.”
Such a liar. But I won’t push. Not when it comes to his feelings.
Not when that beautiful blush tells me exactly what I need to know.
He looks at me, a fragile glow of hope in his eyes, the ice slowing, melting again. The same flicker of softness he gave me at the kitchen table last night. As if he senses what I need, even if he can only give me a sliver.
Of course, the brat walks past me smugly like he knows where we’re going. Time to knock him down a peg. “I warned you what would happen if you followed me again.”
Over his shoulder, that defiant glare sparks an answering heat in my core. He’s trouble for certain. But I crave the challenge, the chance to tame him.
One corner of my mouth lifts, unbidden.
Yeah, I’ve definitely fallen for my wild boy.
