Chapter 12

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.

“Remember when you used to be smart?” I muttered to myself as I unlocked the office. What good had ever come from attachment? Save for Sonny, who, let’s be honest, could turn on me for a dime at any moment.

I spun the dial on the safe and pulled out my wallet and stuffed it into my pocket. Had I had it with me in the car, with access to the protection jammed into the inside flap, I’d have taken Rena right there on my seat. Despite her promise to “punish me” by stopping, I could have had her undressed and riding me. That she would have let me go further made me smile. She wanted me still.

You want her, too.

My smile erased. I did. She made me not think things through. Seeing the hurt on her face when she caught me in the storeroom made me chase after her and abandon Melinda, who in all reality could get me arrested. Could collapse the careful balance existing between Sonny and me. And for what? The thrill of pressing Rena’s sweet body against the SUV and claiming her as mine.

But that was more than just thrill. That was need and I was drowning in it.

Whenever she was around it became harder and harder for me to hold on to my resolve. I told myself I was the one with the control, but when she was close, when she smashed her soft breasts against me and her voice tumbled through my brain…

Man.

I forgot about control. Forgot about the rules.
