CHAPTER30

“Where the hell did it go?” Andi mumbled weakly as she took in the bags that she’d torn through, the bed that up until a few minutes ago had been freshly made, and-

“Lose something?” Devyn murmured softly as he tossed a thick file on the small table by the door.

“My iPad,” she said, really hoping that it was here somewhere, but she had a bad feeling the housekeeper took it when she was cleaning the room.

It was the only explanation that she could come up with, and one that she was really hoping that she was wrong about. With that in mind, she decided to have another look at the bed. Keeping hold of her towel, she climbed onto the bed and shoved the comforter off, leaning over and ran her hand frantically over the sheet looking for the comforting shape of her iPad and-

Moaned as her hands fisted into the sheets when she felt Devyn’s hands slide beneath the towel. Before she could stop him, and she really wasn’t sure that she wanted to stop him right now, not when it felt this good to have his hands moving over her. For several minutes, Devyn took his time running his hands over her back, her hips, and her thighs, making her head drop forward on a soft moan.

She loved it when he touched her.

“You know what I’ve been thinking about lately?” Devyn asked as she felt her towel pulled free.

“That free bacon in the employee cafeteria would boost morale?” Andi asked, licking her lips as he slid his hands over her back.

“That’s something to consider,” he murmured as she felt him lean over her and kiss the back of her neck. “But I was thinking about the day that you came into my life.”

“You mean the day that you highjacked my interview?” Andi asked, moaning softly as he trailed his fingertips over her arms, tracing a path up to her shoulders and down her sides.

“I suppose that’s one way to look at it,” Devyn said as he pressed another kiss against her neck, his fingertips slowly making their way back before they made their way down the sides of her breasts, tracing the soft curves only to stop just before they reached her nipples. “What made you come to Carta Hotels, Miss Dawson?”

“The dental plan. Carta Hotels has an excellent benefits package,” Andi said, wondering why they were having this conversation at a time like this.

“Yes, we do,” Devyn murmured absently as his fingertips traced a path back up to her ribs. “But you came for another reason.”

“I wanted a change,” she found herself admitting as he ran his fingertips back down the soft curve of her breasts.

“And you thought you’d get it at Carta Hotels,” Devyn guessed, pressing a kiss between her shoulders.

“Yes,” she whispered as Devyn pressed one last kiss against her back before he pulled back, letting his hands drop to the side as he said, “Turn over, Miss Dawson.”

Swallowing hard, Andi nodded as she turned over and-

Felt her heart break when she saw the expression on Devyn’s face. “What’s wrong?” she asked as she reached for him, only to have him back away.

“Nothing,” Devyn said as he reached for his tie.

Not really sure that she believed him, Andi worried her bottom lip between her teeth as she watched him. “Lie down,” he said softly as she watched him pull his tie loose before reaching for his shirt, his gaze never leaving her as he pulled it off and-

“Do you love me, Andi?” he asked as he tossed his shirt aside and reached for his belt.

“Yes, I do,” she whispered, never more terrified of anything in her life than she was in that moment as she waited for him to say something.

Nodding absently, Devyn unsnapped his pants and pulled his zipper down as he slowly ran his eyes over her. “Then, lie down,” he said as he moved off the bed so that he could toe off his shoes and pull off his pants and socks.

When she hesitated, he looked up and met her gaze as he said, “Please,” and found herself lying down as she noted the pained expression in his beautiful eyes. When her head touched the pillow, Devyn climbed onto the bed and settled onto his side next to her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead as he placed his hand gently on her belly.

“You have no idea how much you mean to me, do you?” Devyn asked against her forehead as he slid his hand down between her legs and-

Made her moan when his fingertips found her. For several minutes, he took his time teasing her, tracing her slit with his fingertips as she spread her legs apart for him to make it easier. “I’ve never wanted any woman the way that I want you,” he whispered in her ear as he slid a finger inside her.

“Never even thought it was possible to want someone this much,” he said, his lips found her neck as he slowly moved his finger inside her, making her breath catch as her hips shifted, moving to match his rhythm as he fingered her.

“Devyn,” she said, moaning his name as she covered his hand with hers.

“Tell me that you love me, Andi,” Devyn said, kissing her jaw as he added a second finger.

“I love you,” she said, turning her head so that she could watch him.

Jaw clenching, his gaze locked with hers as he continued sliding his fingers inside her. After a moment, Devyn pulled his hand free and climbed over her, settling between her legs as he leaned down and kissed her belly, her hip, and then one thigh and then the next before his mouth found her slit. He pressed a kiss against her lips, his eyes locking with hers as he slid his arms beneath her legs and his hands found hers.

Entwining their fingers together, Devyn traced her slit with the tip of his tongue. He took his time licking her, teasing her clit with his tongue while she lay there, gasping one minute and moaning the next as her eyes finally slid closed. That felt so good, Andi thought, struggling against the urge to roll her hips as his tongue moved over her, teasing her clit before sliding inside her.
