My weight on top of Dev might make it harder for him to catch his own breath, but I don’t really care. I have no intention of moving anytime soon. In fact, I burrow in closer to his neck, nuzzling the damp skin.

After what could be thirty minutes or an hour, we’ve all calmed down enough. My heart is no longer doing a marathon in my chest, so I break the silence. “How about that joint, assholes?”

Julian laughs loudly, and Dev snorts, stroking my back.

“Yeah, that’s right. I didn’t forget,” I say. “I do believe I’ve earned it, all things considered. You guys aren’t the ones who will have a sore ass for a week.”

Devin tenderly seals his lips to mine, while Julian gets up. I hear the sound of his drawer sliding open and closed, then the flick of a lighter.

Dev grabs my chin. “Is this what you wanted?” he whispers.

I toss it around in my still foggy mind. “All I ever wanted was to see you lose control over me. So, in a roundabout way—yes.” Julian’s hand comes into my field of vision, passing me the joint I worked so hard for. “You’re just so fucking beautiful when you’re angry,” I tell Dev.

Julian snorts out a laugh. “I don’t know about all that now.”

“Shut the fuck up, Julian,” Dev says before I press the joint to his lips, and I don’t actually think he’ll hold any of this against him, but all three of us are inexplicably altered.

I brush my lips against Dev’s ear, “Happy Valentine’s Day, baby.”

He grabs my throat one more time. “You’re a little psycho, but damn, do I love you.”

“I love you more. Now give me your phone. I need to watch that video.”
