do other things, if you so desire.” He shrugged. “But I’d prefer it if you didn’t go out alone. At least for a while. You’ve been sheltered for far too long and I’d hate for you to get lost or for something to happen to you. Unless he’s otherwise occupied, Ian will accompany you. He’ll make sure you’re safe.”
My heart sank into my stomach. Be alone with Ian? Devin had to be joking. Ian detested me. Who knew what he would do to me if he had me out and alone?
“Anna, Ian is a good guy.”
I snorted and then covered my mouth, horrified at what I’d done. Where were all these emotions coming from?
Devin laughed. “It’s okay, Anna. I know you’ve only had...painful interactions with him. But that’s because I needed it to be that way. He really is a nice guy and he will keep you safe. Once you get to know him, you might like him.” Devin paused. “He thinks you’re very pretty.”
“He does?” Why did that thought intrigue me?
“Yes. He’s also quite the lover. The girls all like it when he visits downstairs.” Devin looked amused. “You might like him in your bed.”
I shook my head in disbelief. “Why would I voluntarily want to take someone to bed with me?” I asked before I realized the words were coming out of my mouth. This safe room was loosening my tongue. I feared it might be loosened too much.
Devin just laughed...again. Apparently, I was very entertaining today. Well, I guess that was better than him hitting me. Yes, definitely better than hitting me. Could I trust this change in him? I searched his eyes, but saw nothing that would indicate he was insincere.
“Oh, Baby. Just try to go a few days without sex. See how desperate you get for a hard cock in your pussy.”
I looked at him skeptically. “I doubt it.” The thought of being able to be away from a man for more than a few hours thrilled me. A bed to myself. A room to myself. It sounded heavenly.
“I like it that you feel comfortable enough in here to snort and express yourself. That pleases me immensely.” He leaned forward and kissed my cheek. “I want things to be different from now on. I want things to be good for you.” His voice was soft and tender. So unlike him. Perhaps he really had changed.
He pressed his lips to mine, pushing his tongue against my mouth to gain entry. I succumbed to the pressure and his tongue darted into my mouth, teasing and cajoling mine. I moaned and pressed my mouth to his as my body reacted as it had been trained to. My nipples hardened and I could feel my pussy moistening and swelling. I swirled my tongue around his, pulling it into my mouth and sucking on it slightly. I heard him moan and he brought his hand behind my head, threading his fingers into my braid.
I knew he wanted me. I could tell by his breathing that he was aroused. I tentatively placed one hand on his knee and slid it up his thigh towards his cock. He groaned as my fingers brushed the bulge in his pants. I pressed my thumb against the base of his shaft and moved the pressure upwards.
“Oh, God, Anna,” he moaned into my mouth. I was pleasing him!
He suddenly pulled away from me and put his hand on mine to stop me from caressing his hard cock. “Oh, stop, Baby. Please,” he pleaded.
I blinked, confused. “Did I do something wrong? I thought you were enjoying it.”
Devin grimaced. “Yes, Baby, I was enjoying it. Very much so.” He took a deep breath. “I think I understand what Jack was talking about with your lack of social refinement.”
Social refinement? What did he mean? The only reason a man would bother to kiss me was because he wanted sex. That much I knew. If a man wanted to have sex with me, I was to do whatever I could to make sure he enjoyed himself. It was simple really. Why didn’t Devin want me?
“Baby, sometimes a man just wants to kiss a woman. Without it leading to sex.” He took a deep breath.
I tilted my head, not understanding his words. “Why wouldn’t he want
