Chapter 7

Devon

If someone had told me eighteen months ago, I’d be waking up on Christmas morning in South Lake Tahoe with Macey Prince and her family, I would have split my sides laughing. But here I was, watching her as she slept peacefully, the harshness of her expression gone.

I reached out, tracing the lines of her face. Every day, I woke before her. At first, I think it was my subconscious way of checking she hadn’t done a runner in the middle of the night. But as we settled into our relationship, and I realized Macey intended on sticking around, it became my chance to watch her, knowing I’d be the first person she saw when she opened her big brown eyes.

“I can feel you watching me.” Her lip curved slightly, but she didn’t open her eyes. I dropped down beside her and drew her body close.

“I like watching you sleep. It’s my thing.”

“I know.” Her lips found mine and she kissed me. “Merry Christmas, Devon.”

“Merry Christmas.” I stole another kiss before saying, “Wait right there.” Clambering off the bed, I felt Macey’s eyes on me as I went to my backpack and pulled out the small box.

“Please tell me that’s not what I think it is.”

“What? Oh shit, no. No!” My heart skipped a beat. “Although is the idea of me proposing that disturbing?” I sat on the edge of the bed and handed her the box.

“Actually, don’t answer that,” I added quickly, flashing her a playful smile. “Go on, open it.”

Macey tore into the gift-wrap until a black velvet box rested in her palm. Nervous energy zipped through me as she slowly flipped the lid.

“Devon, it’s beautiful.” She lifted the charm out of the box.

The silver pick gleamed in the sunlight streaming through the curtains. “It’s engraved, see.”

She leaned in, reading the words. “It’s from my song. I love it, thank you.”

“I love you, Macey.” I loved her so fucking much that most days I had to pinch myself. “And I want you to know that no matter where things go with my music, it’s you and me, okay?”

Macey rose to her knees and slipped her leg over mine until she was straddling me. “You mean when you’re a famous rock star you’ll still want me?” She was joking but something about her words made my chest tighten. I leaned in, pressing my forehead to hers. “Promise me you’ll always keep me grounded.” Ever since moving to UCLA, my music had exploded. I’d played a few gigs at the local open mic night, but it had opened doors.

Ones I wasn’t sure I was ready for.

“Promise me, you’ll be right by my side.”

“I promise.” Macey sealed her words with a kiss. But it wasn’t enough, I needed to feel her. I gently rocked her over my dick, wishing there were no layers between us.

“Devon, more. I need—”

Bang! Bang! The door rattled in its frame from the overzealous knock.

“Lions, get the fuck off my sister and get your asses out here.
