It should have been just once Chapter 20: starved
Devon~I tell her I’ll be downstairs because it sounds like the right thing to say. Meanwhile list is still buzzing and blaring in my veins.Giving us both a moment to breathe sounds reasonable. It sounds like a man who knows when to stop and step back.The truth is, if I stay in that room any more second, I will do something that I cannot pretend is accidental.I close the door behind me softly, and stand there for a moment with my forehead against the wood. I clench my hands at my sides and force by body to calm down and my brain to think, but it is almost impossible because I can smell her everywhere. On my skin, on my hands, in my head. Fuck, I can still feel the way she tightened around me and moaned my name before she could stop herself in the heat of it all. That is the part that keeps replaying. If I thoughts the first time we fucked was spectacular? I’m way out of my depth here now.Pulling away from the door, i unclench my hands and turn to go downstairs. I get there and
It should have been just once Chapter 19: Run
Harriet~I wake up warm.Not warm from the sunlight slipping through the curtain but the type from body heat that is unfamiliar and intimate enough that my first instinct is to stiffen.Then I open my eyes to see the situation.Devon’s arm is wrapped around my waist and his palm is resting flat against my stomach like it knows exactly where it belongs and it is there. His chest rises against my back with each breath.I try to think back for a bit.He wasn’t in bed when I fell asleep last night, I remember that clearly. I remember falling asleep to thoughts of both him and Sam waring in my mind. The bed was definitely empty and now here he is.I lie still, pretending I’m still asleep, trying to piece together what kind of game this is. Did I roll toward him in my sleep. Did he come in later and decide to climb into bed anyway. Did he mean to wake me like this.His grip tightens slightly, not enough to hurt, just enough to let me know that he’s aware of me now.So much for pret
It should have been just once Chapter 18: confused
Harriet~I take a little too long getting ready. Partly because I stood for minutes staring at my clothes wondering if this truly was a step in the right direction or the wrong one.Where would this move things with Dev? Forward or backwards?While I prep, I notice that the house is quiet downstairs, minus the fact that the construction workers are done for the day, it feels like Devon has deliberately gone silent and is waiting for my next move.I hate that it bothers me so much that even as u am choosing a dress, I am secretly considering what he’d think if he sees it.I settle on a soft green dress that hits just above my knees, it’s the kind that moves when I walk and makes me feel like myself and not like I’m trying too hard or even apologetic either. I pull my hair back into a low ponytail and leave a few curls loose around my face. I swipe on lip gloss that smells faintly of vanilla and check my reflection once more in the mirror before I force myself to stop.Sam pulls up rig
It should have been just once Chapter 17: X
Harriet~I close my eyes unable to believe he is about to fuck me again.He kneels on the bed, settling between my legs, and I can feel the hard, heavy length of him against my thigh. He’s still wearing his control like a second skin, but I can see the strain in the set of his jaw. He positions himself at my entrance, the head of his cock nudges against my slick, swollen folds be he doesn’t push inside yet and just waits, letting me feel the weight of his intention, the sheer, undeniable presence of him."Look at me," he commands, his voice a low growl.I force my eyes open, meeting his gaze. The raw, possessive hunger I see there steals my breath. "This is what you were going to look for," he says, and then he pushes inside.The stretch is an exquisite slow, burning sensation that has me arching my back. He sinks into me inch by inch, his eyes never leaving mine, until he’s buried to the hilt. He stills, letting me adjust, letting me feel the fullness of him and the rightness of it.
It should have been just once Chapter 16: Mekwe
Harriet~Devon doesn’t follow me upstairs right away and that should have been my first clue.I’m in the room, half undressed and pulling on a sweater I don’t need because the house is warm and I am already too aware of my own skin, when I hear his footsteps in the hallway. They stop outside the door briefly, start and then stop again before the door swings open.Devon stands are the door with his jaw tight and his eyes dark.Sometime between when we came back and now, he has rolled up his sleeves and the bulk of his muscular arm is showing… I swallow.“Have you given Sam a response yet?” He asks and I shake my head.“Not yet, but u definitely will.”I have no idea who I’m trying to convince, myself or him.“Well Harriet, since you’ve been waiting for a good reaction from me, here’s one… I don’t think you should.”I see his response for what it is, the careful phrasing of a man who thinks restraint makes him innocent.“I’ll ask again for the… I don’t know how many tone. Why?”he si
It should have been just once Chapter 15: Building
Harriet~Devon just grabs his car keys and walks towards the door. He doesn't say ‘let’s go’, he just jingles the keys like I am meant to be summoned by the sound of it.I follow anyway, because apparently I enjoy emotional whiplash before noon.Outside, the air is warm in that almost-Christmas way that makes no sense but still feels right, the sun is actually doing too much for December. Devon walks ahead of me, with his shoulders set and his jaw tight.He is the picture of a man who has already lost an argument he refuses to admit he’s having.He unlocks the car and doesn’t open my door this time like usual. I open it myself and slide in, watching his reflection in the window as he circles to the driver’s side. He gets in, starts the engine, adjusts the mirrors. All business-like.“So,” I say, buckling up. “What store are we going to first?”“Hardware,” he replies. “Then lumber.”“Exciting.”He shoots me a look. “Well you don’t have to come along anymore.”I smile sweetly just to
