Steal the Day (Thieves #2)(34)

Sex is important. It binds us to other human beings. I know I’m na?ve in thinking that way. There are many people who can just lose themselves to pleasure, but I’m not one of them. I learned that my heart and all those girl parts I had were deeply connected. I couldn’t seek pleasure without also getting my heart engaged and Dev was making my every emotion spark even as I drew his cock into my mouth.

“Yes. That’s what I need, sweetheart.”

It didn’t matter how he saw me in that moment. He could have seen me as nothing more than a cheap lay. I knew the truth. He needed me. I was the only one who could take him to a place where he wasn’t worried, wasn’t back in that place where Felicity’s magic had taken him.

I closed my mouth over the head of his cock and drew him in. My hair spread out over his thighs and I drew hard on his dick, sucking as I lowered my mouth on him. His heavy balls felt good against my palm. I rolled them up, loving the weight.

It took forever to work my way down most of him. I couldn’t take his full length. My mouth wasn’t big enough. I took as much as I could and sucked hard, letting my tongue run around his width. Silky skin played against mine, Dev’s cock thickening further even as I drew on him.

He pushed me down gently, forcing me to take another inch. His cock hit the back of my throat and I forced myself to breathe deep.

“Do you know how f*cking good you feel?” Dev’s voice was hoarse, sexy and low. “Do you know how much I need you?”

It was exactly the right thing to say to keep me going. I drew back almost to his cock head, tonguing around the ridge it formed.

“Zoey?”

I let my eyes drift up and he was staring down at me, both his hands in my hair now. I didn’t say a thing, didn’t pull my mouth off him. I wouldn’t let up, simply let him know that I was listening.

“I’ll take care of you. For as long as you’ll let me, I’ll take care of you.”

I had zero intentions of him not taking care of me, but the specter of Daniel sat firmly between us. There was no doubt in my mind that was what he was talking about. Even as I worked on Dev’s cock, Daniel was there between us.

I was caught between my rage at my husband and a growing, deepening emotion that defined how I felt about Devinshea.

Desire swamped me, causing me to let go of my every inhibition. Nothing mattered except taking Dev to a place where no one but I could touch him.

My tongue ran up and down his dick. Over and over, I dragged my mouth up and down, working his flesh with my tongue and teeth and mouth. His cock filled my mouth to overflowing, invading me and overtaking me. I let my hand circle the part of his cock I didn’t have in my mouth, stroking him in time to each drag of my tongue.

His hips started to move, thrusting up to meet to my mouth as I drove his cock deep inside.

A low moan came out of his mouth and I felt the moment his balls drew up, hugging close to his body. “I’m going to come, sweetheart. If you don’t want a mouthful of me, you should lean back and let me finish this.”

Oh, but I’d been dying for a mouthful of him. I realized just how careful he’d been with me. He’d denied himself in order to please me. He’d focused on me and we’d missed out on so much because of it. I needed this as much as he did. I needed to know that I could transport him the way he could transport me. Dev could take me to another place when he made love to me. He could make all my troubles and worry drift away, take me to somewhere I didn’t have to worry about anything beyond the next dizzying peak, the orgasm that was rolling over me.

His hips rolled up, his dick filling every inch of my mouth and I heard him groan as come spurted over my tongue.

Salty sweetness overtook my senses, his orgasm making me shudder. I lapped up every ounce, swallowing him down. A deep sense of satisfaction floated through me because he was relaxed now, his muscles losing their tension.

I kept licking him, his hand softening in my hair until he was petting me.

And his cock was coming back to life.

When I looked up at him, the dark look in his eyes was gone, replaced by a smile that drew his gorgeous mouth up.

“You have the most amazing mouth, lover. But I think it’s time for a little payback. Come up here.” He pulled me up and into his lap.

This time when he kissed me it was a long, satisfying exploration. He was certain I would be what he needed me to be, and he was content to take his time.





It was almost two in the morning when I finally slid out of bed. I hadn’t drifted to sleep the way I normally would have. Too many things were running through my mind. This night had been different. Sex with Dev was fun and playful, but this was a different Dev. He’d been demanding, and I felt, for the first time, he needed me for so much more than an orgasm. We’d made love, and it gave me so much to think about.

I thought Dev had finally fallen asleep, but he turned and propped his head on one hand. I was about to get dressed but sat back down on the bed.

“You can go, Zoey,” Dev said quietly. “I’ll be fine now.”

“I wish you would tell me what was riding you tonight.” I reached out to touch his chest, placing my hand right over his heart.

He smiled, a lascivious little grin, and his hand ran itself up my arm. “I don’t mind telling you what was riding me tonight. That would be you, and you rode me well, sweetheart.” I rolled my eyes and started to get up again but he pulled at my hand, his eyes sobering. “It happened a long time ago. I was just a kid. That f*cking manipulative magic just brought back some bad memories. You drove them away with your amazing therapy.”
