Chapter Seventeen

Anna reveled in the carnal delight of making love with Devlyn. This man played her senses as if they were instruments he knew well. Emotions inside of her crashed and rolled. She knew she had feelings for him. Her mind told her now was not the time to try and decipher those feelings.

“Devlyn, I need you,” she said when he finally released her lips from his hot kisses. His face softened. He kissed her again, this time gently and oh so sweetly.

Tears pricked at the back of her eyelids. She blinked them away. This wasn’t the time to think of what couldn’t be but what was. Tomorrow she would think about the future, today she would enjoy just being with him.

“Anna, my darling girl.”

Devlyn thrust again and again. She felt her insides start to uncoil. Her release was coming. She reached for it. She came and felt him come soon after in a flurry of sighs and moans.

When their breathing had slowed and their pulses ebbed, Devlyn gave her one last lingering kiss and rose from the chaise.

“We need to talk about Franco.”

She sensed their escape from the outside world had come to an end. Gone was her gentle lover of a moment before and in his place a determined man.

“Of course,” she replied and donned her chemise. Her movements were slow and awkward. Finished with dressing himself, Devlyn moved to assist her. He laced up the back of her stays, lifted her dress over her head and buttoned up the back of the garment. She remembered his comment about being an expert at undressing women.

Slow breathing and a rigid stance helped her regain her composure. She sensed her relationship with Devlyn had taken a new path. His remoteness after their shared intimacy surprised her.

“Do sit down.” She took a seat on a chair and pulled on her satin slippers. Her garters and stockings weren’t necessary. She would show the man she could be just as cavalier about their lovemaking as he appeared to be. “Would you care for refreshment?”

The question sounded ridiculous; her lover played along.

“I don’t plan on being here much longer.”

“Oh,” she replied with a start. So much for showing the man how much their lovemaking didn’t affect her.

“My man Wiggins will keep an eye on you until this matter with Michael Bradley is resolved.”

“You trust him?”

“Wiggins has been with me for almost three years. The man is loyal to me and Franco doesn’t know who he is.”

“You think I need protection?” she asked, a small bubble of joy bursting in her stomach.

“Franco plans to contact you in the next few days,” he replied, his expression bland. “Wiggins may be able to find where the man lives by keeping close to you.”

She merely nodded. Of course, what had she been thinking? Devlyn was concerned for her well-being?

“What should I tell Franco? I have to protect Cecily’s son.”

“Tell him you will pay him and have already picked out the jewelry you will give him. I do not believe he will let you choose the location of your meeting.
