He kissed me again, briefly, then against my lips, said, “Trust me, baby. I’m less in control now.” His entire body shook. From the cold? Or because of his admission?

Devlin

What’d I’d done was impulsive, some sort of gut instinct I wasn’t sure I could trust. Face it, I wasn’t the type of guy to protect anyone. But Rena awakened something in me. The way I’d pulled her onto my lap in my SUV. The way I’d let her dominate me. She’d kissed my chest but left me wanting more.

I prided myself in being able to walk away from girls. Melinda, for example, who I could tell, by the angle of her eyebrows, did not appreciate my making out with Rena. I’d struck a careful balance with Melinda in the storeroom moments before. Why had I let Rena claim me in front of her?

Because Rena needed it, came the automatic answer.

And because I got her into this mess, part of my psyche added.

Great. I’d sprouted a fucking conscience. Normally, my only worries would revolve around what she’d say to someone else or the trouble she could cause for Sonny and me. But my concern now revolved around the cute brunette who pouted in my passenger seat.

I’d gotten her into this, and really, her being my “mule” wasn’t as far off the mark as I would have liked. I winced. I didn’t like feeling doubt. Not even a little.

I blew by Melinda, who was giving me the evil eye from across the kitchen. Let her be pissed. I didn’t really give a shit. What I cared about, I realized as an uncomfortable chill skated down my spine, was Rena.
