My Brother's Best Friend(70)
“You mean before Mitch finds out? Sure, if we’re discreet.”
He squeezed my hand. “I’ll meet you at my place then. You can leave your car there and we can drive mine.”
“Excuse me, if we’re moving boxes, then my car is more practical. Your car would probably only hold three boxes. It would take us all day and night to move my stuff.”
He smiled. “Fine, I concede. Just come by and pick me up at my place and we can pack your things together.” He leaned down and kissed me before letting go and waving goodbye.
I couldn’t keep the goofy grin hidden, it was plastered on my face.
“So am I staying up here for the day?”
I turned to Shelly. “Oh, yeah. If that is all right with you.”
“Of course. You know I prefer this to Judy’s projects. Are you moving? I heard you talking about boxes.”
“Um, yeah. I’m just moving a few things. If anyone calls for me like my brother or Megan, they can reach me on my cell,” I told her as I grabbed my bag, my new phone and the box with the plane ticket off my desk.
She smiled. “I peeked at your present. I thought it was a bracelet, but a ticket to Hawaii is so much better.”
I looked at her seriously. “Don’t mention the ticket to anyone yet. You can blab all you want to tomorrow.” I smiled then made a show of displaying the ring on my finger. “I have a feeling you will be covering for me for more than today.” She gasped at the ring and I quickly left before she could ask anything more.
I made it to the car before my phone chirped.
You made it out of there?

I laughed at the message and put my phone down before pulling out of the parking lot. And true to my word, it took just over ten minutes to reach his place.
“You’re late,” Devin said as he climbed into my car. He leaned over and we kissed. It was as if we had just reunited again after a long time apart. “I’ve missed you,” he murmured as his mouth moved down to my neck.
“We were together not more than fifteen minutes ago,” I whispered, trying to hold on to the last bit of consciousness I had.
“No, I’ve missed you,” he said, emphasizing his point by sucking hard on the sensitive spot on my neck and running his hand up my skirt.
“It’s bright day light,” I said, stopping his hand from advancing. Cars passed by us and I pulled away. “You’re supposed to be helping me to pack. The sooner I’m packed the sooner I can move in, right?”
Devin sighed, “Fine, let’s hurry up and get to your house. I’m tempted to just take you here and now but I’ll wait.”
I smiled and pulled away from the curb and began the drive toward my house. “Pull into the garage trunk first for easy moving,” Devin said and I backed into the garage.
I unbuckled my seat belt and climbed out followed by Devin. Together we walked inside and up the stairs. “I have suitcases we can put everything in. I’m not taking much, just a few things.” We stopped outside my door and Devin gripped the hand he was holding tighter. “Come on,” I said, opening the door. “There are more good memories in here than just that one bad one.”
“You’re right. I can think of several good ones.” I gave him a pointed look and he laughed. “I wasn’t even referring to that night,” he said, mentioning the first night we had sex. “Besides, I seem to recall you thinking I was doing it only as an educational experience for you.”
“I didn’t want it to be. I really hoped it was more, but you were the one who said something about giving me that experience. So that’s why you left? Why you were mad?”
Devin nodded. “But then you came to my room in that towel and I wasn’t going to let it happen, but I mean look at you. You’re a temptress. How could I resist your charm and beauty?”
