~Susan~
I had not had this much fun in my entire life. I was missing out on a lot when I refused to join Devin in the north every time he left for the council meeting.
The Ladies were fun to be around.
They made mixing with them effortlessly easy.
Nothing needed to be done; just find a spot and fit in.
They were not judgmental, and there was no competition among them.
Avery gave me the creeps at first, but then I realised she was close to Tamia and very protective of her. I could understand why she would seem unfriendly towards me.
To my surprise, Linda was the least friendly, but we got along very well. Amelia was hilarious, and I aspired to be more like her. She is confident and isn't ashamed of her flaws. I needed a lot of that.
I was excited when Devin returned.
I felt so stupid running away in the first place, and I knew he might start sleeping with an eye open.
I needed to find a way to make it up to him.
So instead of waiting in the lounge when they arrived. I decided to slip away into the bedroom. So we could talk, and I could properly apologise for running away.
I waited in the room, and it felt like forever.
"Where are you?" I heard Devin through the mind link.
"Waiting in our room," I replied, eager to see him.
Contrary to what the doctor said, Cleo and I were at a hundred per cent. I guess I was a very lucky woman, after all.
"I will be with you shortly. We just want to secure the prisoner," He said, and I was so happy that he caught Alice.
I will not forget the smirk on her face when I stepped out of the forest in my human form to confront her.
I didn't care that I was naked.
I was shocked that she was there with the same people who wiped out Pridewood. I was angry, and I wanted her to explain. I did not know what I was thinking.
Now that I thought of it, I wondered what had come over me. I was indeed desperate to prove my innocence. That was why I would foolishly step out of the woods naked and unarmed to confront a traitor and a terrorist that was immune to silver.
"Yeah, Sue, you were very stupid," Cleo said, and I laughed.
"We could have died. I honestly wondered what you were thinking. Would you drag Alice by the hair back to Mountain and deliver her to Devin to clear your name? "Cleo asked me, making me feel even more stupid.
"Don't get me wrong, I understand our fear, and we can take her, but what about the freak? What were you thinking, Sue?" she said, and I buried my face in my palm.
"We are lucky Devin never gave up on us, or we would have died. I hope we aren't running anymore because I doubt he would welcome us home the next time," She said, and I had tears in my eyes.
I was too afraid to think about its effect on Devin.
I had been so unfair and selfish.
Yes, I had problems, but he had problems too.
He is about to lose everything his family worked hard to keep. He is about to be disgraced, yet he still has time for me. I needed to do better. This was the first time I would run away from fear, and I would never do that again.
The doorknob turned, and Devin walked in. I looked at him, and he looked at me with affection and satisfaction. No matter how hard things got, he always smiled at me.
"I went to him and hugged him. I held on tightly. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck.
"We caught her, Sue. You no longer need to be afraid," he said reassuringly, and I squeezed harder. Tears were streaming down my cheeks.
"I am sorry I ran away. I will never leave you again, Devin. No matter how hard it gets. I will never leave you," I promised both of us, and he held on tightly.
"I will never doubt you again. It is my fault. I shouldn't have confronted you the way I did. I am just glad we found you on time." He said, holding on to me.
I broke the hug to look at him. His blue eyes were misty too. I guess we both realised what we had almost lost.
I did not wait for him. I crashed my lips on his and kissed him. I drank him in. I was taking as much as I could. He held on to my waist tightly and returned the kiss.
He tasted so sweet that I did not want to stop.
Lifting me, I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he supported me with his hands while we kissed. He gradually moved me to the bed and laid me down, then took off his shirt and pants while I took off my dress. I wanted to take off my underwear, but he stopped me.
'"Let me do that," he said, and I smiled at him. I was too eager.
He bent over and kissed me, then travelled with his lips to my neck and chest. He felt my breasts and released them from the bra. He kissed them one at a time and sucked them. Licking my nipples and sucking on them one at a time while he used his thumb to brush against them lightly.
"Devin," I called out because I wanted him inside me. I did not want foreplay, but he wanted foreplay, so I tried to be patient, but my clenching pussy walls made waiting impossible.
I felt him place his hands inside my panties to feel me, then placed his finger inside me, and I looked up and closed my eyes to savour the feeling.
He pulled off my pants and positioned himself between my legs. I was glad he understood what I wanted and eager to receive what he was about to give.
He placed himself inside me and began to pump.
We both needed it. Soon he made me go on my hands and knees and took me from behind, just how I liked it.
Going deep and hitting the right spots.
He filled me up, brushing his cock against all my sensitive spots with the right speed and consistency.
I dug my fingers into the sheets to handle the pleasure, and I was wild. I loved it.
"Devin," I called out, and he continued to pump. It was intense, and I could not help it.
Devin understood my body, and soon I erupted. I felt electricity all over. He went longer until I came twice before he finally came.
Laying spent on the bed, I turned to look at him, and he smiled.
"I would have punished you longer today if you did not have a prisoner to torture," he teased me, and I frowned at him.
"The Ladies requested we let them give Alice the eastern treatment, and I know you will like it," he said, beaming at me, and I kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me and nibbled my neck.
"Don't leave like that again, Sue. My heart can only take so much," he said, and I buried my face in the crook of his neck.
"I will never leave you, Devin. I promise," I said, and I did mean it. No matter how panicked I get, even if my life is in danger, I won't leave his side again.
