“So we have a longbreak?”
“Depends on what you have here,” Devin said, indicating the freight being pulled off theships.
“It’s all going to the warehouse. The buyers aren’t coming until the end of the month.” She set her hands on his chest and leaned in. “I could be convinced to spend four days in bed with you.” She put her arms around him then dropped them lower so her fingers brushed the top of hisass.
“Mia, don’t be lewd in public,” Devin told her, but hardly did anything more to stop her when she grabbed hisass.
“Why not, you’re not worried about what people will think, areyou?”
They’d had this discussion more than once but Devin thought she liked him to say it, so he said it again. “Of course, if they see how you are they’ll think I have something so wonderful and they’ll try and steal you fromme.”
“Ah,” she said and set her cheek on his chest. “You think I’mwonderful.”
Sometimes she dove right into it, “Well I think they mightthinkyou’re wonderful and they won’t bother to listen when I try and tell them you’re a naughtypirate.”
“Devin,” she gasped, pulled back and slapped his arm before again stepping to lean into him. “That’s an awful thing to say,” she pouted then giggled, “Even if it’s true.” He was about to tell her he did think her wonderful even if she was a naughty pirate, or maybe because of it, but she gasped again, pulled away and patted his pocket. “Well that’s hard but in the wrong place, now isn’tit?”
“Mia,” Devin chided, then set her back and pulled the pistol from his pocket. “Mr. Hong said you forgot this.” He watched her face color a little. “Might you explain to me, Mrs. Winthrop, why you have need of a pistol if you’re no longer beingharassed?”
“I’m not being harassed, Devin,” she said and when he gave her a hard look she stood with the story. “I’m not. No one has approachedme.”
“Then why this? Mr. Hong said you’re being spiedon?”
“Well, yes? Maybe?” She spun away from him took one step and turned back. “I mean, no. I don’t thinkso.”
“Mia?” Devin said and taking her hand started them back towards the street. “Which isit?”
“Well, I don’t know. I felt like I was being watched, but I felt that at the inn and I thought maybe Papa, but then it stopped and I thought maybe I was being foolish but then I started to feel watched around the docks, only that was the time Bennet was making trouble and it stopped after the party for a time. But then again last week I thought, I felt… watched. But again…” Mia said, her frustration showing a bit. “I told Hong Chin and Grim that maybe I’m not being watched and it’s there are so many people coming and going. It’s not like on a ship or even in the islands where we all know everyone. I was only carrying the gun because…because…”
“It’s all right, Mia,” Devin assured her. “You’re probably correct that it’s all the people coming and going. A ship is far more contained. Nothing hashappened?”
“No, not a thing, I just felt…watched?”
“All right then,” he said pulling her close and rubbing her back. “Though you should have toldme.”
“Aye, I’m sorry. I should have but I didn’t want to worry you with myimagination.”
Devin waved down a cab and helped Mia inside before joining her and closing the door. “Yes well, I’ll have the entire ride home to decide how to deal with you. I’ve told you how many times now, I want to be informed if something is amiss. I think you need a better lesson to help youremember.”
“Devin,” she whined a little but the shine in her eyes and the way she already squirmed on the seat told him farmore.
“And I think I might know just the thing to keep you from withholding,” Devin told her and made sure she saw the way his eyes roamed herbody.
Chapter 13
“Devin,”Mia cried and tugged at the silk binding holding her to the head and foot of the bed. “Devin this isn’t nice,” she said, a bit of concern in hervoice.
“Neither is keeping things from me,” he told her and made sure she knew he was still sitting all the way across the room. Keepingthingsfrom her as itwas.
Looking at her from here, he could see she was rather worked up. He’d had to fight her off in the cab and when he turned back from closing the door and locking it so no one disturbed them at home, she’d slammed him up against the door and started pulling at hisclothes.
She huffed and pouted when he pushed her back then bent and lifted her over his shoulder to carry her upstairs, but a good slap to her stern when she pinched his had her growling at him. Damn him, he had a wild and passionate wife. Who wouldn’t wantthis?
She didn’t protest when he’d undressed her or when he laid her on the bed and secured her so she was stretched as much as possible. The blindfold made her gasp and he felt the little shudder roll through her. He’d stood a long while admiring the sight between her splayedlegs.
Those hairless mons and the pouty lips glistening with her need. He’d tied her legs higher up the posts and placed a pillow under her hips which gave him access to her stern. And as she lay there on the bed squirming, waiting for his touch, he felt his cock grow so stiff ithurt.
“Devin, please,” shecalled.
