“Does Devon know?” I ask, unable to stop the question from escaping my lips.
She gives a casual wave of her hand. “Yeah, he was in Paris a few weeks ago for a work thing so I told him then. He’s been so supportive about the whole thing. Such a rock.”
“Okay, I have to go,” I announce, sliding the chair out and getting to my feet.
Emma’s eyes widen. “What?”
I reach out to give her shoulder a gentle squeeze. “Em, I’m really happy for you. Or, well, sort of. Trust me, once I adjust to the idea I’ll get there. And I promise I won’t eat any ham around you. But right now, there’s someone who’s in dire need of an arse-kicking.”
“What? No!”
Ignoring her protests, I storm out of the restaurant and high tail it to the tube, texting as I walk.
Me:You at home?
Devon Montgomery:Just got back from a run
Me:On my way
Devon Montgomery:Door’s unlocked
When I get to Devon’s place, I let myself in and wander through the house, finding him hanging out in the kitchen and looking absolutely edible in a pair of loose grey joggers and yet another one of my t-shirts. His hair is all messy, the way I like it, and he hasn’t shaved yet today, which makes me want to grab his face and just rub him all over my naked body.
I give a sharp shake of my head.Priorities, Wes!“Oh, I don’t think so. Don’t for a second think you’re getting off the hook for this just because you look so bloody sexy in my t-shirt and with the hair and the stubble…and…” Okay, I’m getting side tracked again…
Devon’s brows shoot up, his lips twitching in amusement. “Um…thanks. But what am I not off the hook for?”
I throw my hands out in frustration. “How could you not tell me Emma is pregnant?”
Devon’s mouth parts in surprise but he quickly masters himself. “Okay, first off, let me just make it crystal clear that I amnotthe father.”
I let out a soft sigh, nodding. “Yeah, I didn’t really think you were after, you know, this morning,” I say uncomfortably, gesturing randomly with my hand. “Nice to have it confirmed, though.”
He draws in a deep breath before letting it out. “The reason I didn’t tell you was because she specifically asked me not to. I couldn’t really explain to her why I was uncomfortable with that without divulging the details of our…situation. And this was weeks ago. It was before…I mean, we hadn’t…”
I arch an eyebrow at his inability to finish a thought.
“I think you know what I mean,” he says, cheeks flushing crimson.
I step closer, crowding his space. “I think I’d like to hear you say it.”
He offers a shy smile. “We weren’t boyfrienemies yet.”
I grin and lean forward, pressing my lips softly to his. Then I move down to nuzzle at his neck, inhaling deeply to draw in the scent of his sweat. I press a series of kisses to his skin before sliding my tongue out, savouring the salty taste as I lick him.
“What are you doing?”
“Licking your neck.”
“I’m all sweaty,” he groans. “You’re being gross.”
I let out a wry chuckle. “So, I can swallow your cum and put my tongue up your arse, but licking the sweat from your neck is gross?”
“Well, when you put it like that…”
I let out a breath of laughter and leave off licking his neck, instead dropping to my knees and pushing up the hem of his stolen t-shirt. I then go to town licking and kissing his abs, nuzzling at the dark trail of hair that leads down past his waistband.
I’m about to move further south when we’re interrupted by a rapping at the front door, which is accompanied by a familiar voice. “Devon? Dev, it’s Emma!”
“Fuck,”I groan, quickly getting to my feet. I am going tokillmy sister.
