The operator unlocked the bar across the front and helped me out.
“Twenty wasn’t enough for you?” Devlin sounded annoyed.
“Not when you turn my ride into a motel room,” the operator replied.
“It wasn’t like that at all. It was a pretty special moment if you want to know the truth,” he grumbled.
“Special or not, I’m responsible for my riders’ safety. You can’t go jumping around in the car and expect me to be happy with that.”
“I got it. Thanks for the ride.”
I looked back and saw him pat the guy on the back. Devlin took my hand and led me away from the Ferris wheel.
“Where to now?” he asked, looking up at the color-filled night sky.
Something inside me felt devious, reckless, and I liked it. “Come on,” I whispered.
I took the lead and walked around the rides, through the crowd away from everything, and into the grassy field that became a parking lot for the festival.
“My jeep is just over here,” I pointed out.
“Are we leaving?”
I giggled. “No. Just looking for somewhere a little less crowded.”
“What about the fireworks?”
I stopped and turned to him, reducing the space between us. “I am more interested in the fireworks down here than the display of lights above us,” I said softly. I felt my heart pounding against the inside of my chest as I looked up at him.
“What is it about you, Naomi?” Devlin’s voice softened as he studied my face, looking deep into my eyes. “You’ve enraptured me.”
Butterflies wreaked havoc in my stomach. “Enraptured? Let’s see where the night takes us.”
I waited until he bent down and covered my lips with his. This time, his kiss was tender and sweet.
I took his hand and led him through the rows of cars and trucks until we reached my white jeep. I opened the back and scowled when the blanket I thought was there wasn’t. “So much for laying out under the stars,” I said, turning to him. He was right behind me, a little closer than I had expected. His hands cupped my face, and he kissed me. This kiss wasn’t so tender and sweet. It was needy and wanting and perfect.
I grabbed his T-shirt and pulled him into me. His body was hard — his abs, his arms, his cock. Devlin’s hands snuck underneath my top and caressed my waist. I put my hands in the air as he tore my top up and over my head, discarding it to the side. I crawled into my jeep and waited for him to join me, but he didn’t. He just stood there, staring at me with a hunger in his eyes. It frightened me but at the same time excited the hell out of me. I was being completely careless but pushed that thought aside when he unbuckled his belt. Watching his hands while they unfastened the button on his blue jeans and slid the zipper down, I could feel myself getting wetter with excitement. I swallowed hard when he pulled his T-shirt off, his chest and abs exposed. He was gorgeous, fit, covered with tattoos, and muscles. I wanted to run my tongue along the creases between those muscles, tasting his skin and savoring his body.
He crawled into my jeep and sat next to me, his eyes taking in my body. Insecurity began to fill me until he cupped my face and kissed me with the same heat it took to erase any doubt I’d had earlier about being with him.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” Devlin whispered as he slid his hands up over my shoulders. His fingers hooked under the straps of my bra and slid them down my arms. A shiver of excitement charged through me. I reached out and touched his chest. My hands moved over him, and my hunger grew. I straddled him, pushing my chest into his after he quickly removed my bra. The feel of him against me was overwhelming, and I kissed him hard. I thrust my tongue into his mouth and danced it against his. I groped him, wanting him closer, grinding against his groin.
“Naomi,” he whispered, pushing me back a bit. “Are you sure this is what you want?”
I was breathing hard, wanting him all over and inside me. “Devlin, if you’d asked me this before we went up on that Ferris wheel I would have said no. But I would have been lying to myself,” I was kissing him between my words. “Truth is, from the moment I saw you, my body responded. I didn’t want to admit—”
“Because I was bad news?”
I stopped and looked at him. “Yeah.”
“And you’re used to a suit-and-tie kind of guy.”
“Kind of,” I said. “I’ve been off the dating scene for a while.”
He pulled me closer, his nose almost touching mine. I felt the warmth of his breath on my cheek, and I could barely breathe. I nodded.
