Chapter 29

Devon

“Will you just stop?” Kate huffs, annoyed yet again.

She’s clasping a magazine with brides on the front, eager for us to get married. I ignore her and look at my text messages again, taking in Owen’s text.

Owen: The retreat is pushed back a bit.

He doesn’t know it yet, but I promised Kate to marry her after the retreat. She thinks it's soon, so she has to hustle with wedding plans. I now regret asking her to marry me. I don’t want to; I just wasn’t thinking straight when I said that. I can’t take it back now. Yet I will. I have to, especially before this retreat. I don’t care much for the idea of going, and I really don’t see a need for it any longer.

I put my phone down again and round the couch and Kate. She turns to watch me, leaning on the back of the couch to see my every move. I haven’t seen Gracie for a few days now. She’s doing a really damn good job of avoiding coming home, and I don’t like it. Owen has been staying with Donna, claiming he’s doing it to avoid Gracie. Though, I think he’s avoiding everyone at this point.

Everything is a mess.

I enter Gracie’s bedroom against Kate’s protests. My eyes flicker to the bed, the last time I saw her in person. Butt ass naked, legs parted, and ready for me to take her. My dick hardens at the memory, and I clamp my teeth together. I haven’t told Kate yet. I don’t know why. I don’t want to marry her, and I know for a fact that if I tell her, she will dump my ass. I deserve it. I know that. I’m just not ready to let go. Not yet anyway. I will have to before any wedding date is set or before she even goes blabbing to all of her family and hyping them up. Because that is going to be embarrassing as fuck when I have to let her down.

“Devon, you shouldn’t be in here. This is Gracie’s room,” Kate reprimands me gently.

I turn to face her, cocking an eyebrow. “I just want to figure out why she’s gone right now.”

She stares blankly at me and narrows her eyes. “You don’t believe that the whiskey wasn’t hers,” she accuses, astonishment in her words.

I press my lips together, refusing to answer Kate. I hate admitting it, but I didn’t believe Gracie. I still don’t. I want to, and I want Gracie to think somebody is on her side so she can accept help again easier, but this lines up with her past way too well for me to believe her easily.

I turn away from Kate and go back to browsing. I cross the room and pop open a dresser drawer. Socks and underwear greet me. My eyes fall to a pair of thongs, and I swallow heavily, pushing them aside. I have to steal myself, so I don’t pick them up and run them through my fingers with Kate right fucking behind me.
