eve you.”
“Stay in my bed tonight.”
My breath hitches. “Okay.”
Devlin’s lips quirk up. He grasps my chin and flicks his gaze between my eyes. There’s a question behind the unbridled way he looks at me like he wants me.
“Do you have a date for winter formal?”
I wasn’t expecting that. “No.”
“Will you go with me?”
I wasn’t planning on going. My cheeks prickle from more than the hot tub.
Is this real?
I have to know if this is part of his game or something he genuinely wants.
“How much do I get for it?”
Devlin tenses. A hard look crosses his face. He pushes out a harsh breath and cuts his gaze over my shoulder to the lake behind me.
“The pleasure of my company.”
“So, no payment then.” My pulse speeds up. “You actually want me as your date?”
Devlin relaxes a fraction. Some tension lingers in his posture. “I do.”
I squeeze his shoulders at the admission. Then—?
Maybe the kisses at the lake and in the shower tonight weren’t flukes. I thought we’d gone back to the deal when he began offering payments along with his orders again. And because I was weak to my desire, I let it all happen. I let him pay to use my body.
With each kiss, each touch, my resolve crumbled, and I erased the last line I’ve held tight to because Devlin was too hard to resist.
But was it really destroying my line, selling my body to the devil?
There’s nothing on the table this time. No demand. Devlin is asking me out.
I’ve never gone to any school dance with a date.
“Yeah. Let’s do it.”
Devlin pulls me in for another toe-curling kiss.
Thirty-One
Blair
In the span of a week, we’ve tipped into a new territory. Devlin makes good on his dirty promise. If we ride to school together, he can hardly make it home without pulling over to bury his head between my legs.
I know his body almost as well as I know my own, but we haven’t had sex.
Any more orgasms and my legs might turn to jelly permanently. Devlin is insatiable—touching, tasting, and never stopping.
I’m still coming down from this morning, where Devlin woke me with his fingers buried inside my body as he sucked on my neck. Waking up on the verge of coming is amazing. I’m planning to test it out on him, curious if waking him up with my mouth on his dick will give me an even bigger sense of power over him.
Anytime I’m not visiting Mom at the hospital, he’s hunted me down and devoured me.
