I shook my head. “I’m sorry, baby, it’s been so long since I had a girlfriend that I forgot that women need things spelled out loud and clear. You’re my girlfriend. We’re already together.
Now we just hang out until we see what happens next. All right?”

Our clothing came off in a flash, and we laid on the bed together, my eyes and hands
wandering across the tattoos along his well-muscled chest and arms. He was so huge, yet
so gentle. I found the contrast intoxicating.
He kissed me gently at first, his fingertips gliding around my breasts, his hand wandering
along my hip. As the heat grew between us, our fire was so much more than sex. Devin
made me feel absolutely adored. I could imagine spending a lot of time with this rough and
