Devin is doing things to me, my mind, and he's sure as hell doing amazing things to my body. I almost can't even think straight...he's always in my thoughts. He rocked my world all last night and even this morning. I had to text Ashley and let her know that I was working from home today because my behind is tired and sore as hell! But oh man, was it worth it. I feel my pussy tingling, just thinking about what he did to me.

Ugh!

Stop Nicole. Work. Do it. Focus.

I've been putting in work all day and haven't gotten up from my chair since 10am, so I go to grab some fruit and water. I need to hear Devin's voice. Actually, I think I'll surprise him at his shop. Running upstairs to change, I pull on a jean skirt, crop tee, and sandals. My braids get pulled up into a high pony. I put on a little make-up, grab my purse, cell & head out the door.

Arriving at the shop, I see Solomon and a few members of the MC leaning on their bikes, laughing and talking. I park beside Solomon and hop out.

"What's up, baby girl? Looking good as usual, Nic!" I reach up to hug Solomon.

"Gentlemen," I smirk to them, and they all roll their eyes. I hear rounds of 'Stop,' and I laugh.

"Are things going ok with your plans?"

"Nic, you know we got this, right? We don't normally discuss club business with non-club members, but this is obviously different since we both have a vested interest. But look, we got this. Moretti will be pleased, and we will be paid!" Everyone nods in agreement and chuckles. "Fuck yeah...paid!"

"Is Devin inside?"

Solomon gives me a slight smile, "Yeah, but before you go in, can we talk a sec?"

"Sure," I respond softly as he leads me away from everyone else.

"Ok...so this is just between us, but I just wanted to talk to you about Devin. He's falling for you Nic...hard, and Devin doesn't do relationships, so I think he's a little freaked." He pauses for a beat and continues, "I also know that he doesn't want to leave you this weekend. He won't admit it to me, but I already know. Cali is the last place he wants to go right now but he needs to handle some things out there. Devin has some stuff to get straight with Lauren, plus he really misses his kid. So, try to be patient with him while he sorts shit out. Most of the time, that woman causes nothing but drama, which in turn stresses him out...but Nic... just hang in there, ok?"

I stand there, a little taken aback by what Solomon is saying. What exactly is he saying? Be patient with what?

"Why are you telling me this, Solomon?"

His eyes go gentle as he looks at me, "Just be patient, Nic. When Devin gets stressed, sometimes he'll drop off the grid for a bit. That's just what he needs to do to work through things."

So Devin might need space. I think that's what he's telling me. Ugh...I hate space. Nothing good comes from space, at least not for me. Space leaves room for drama and cheating. Closing my eyes, I breathe in deep and exhale. Shaking my head, I look at Solomon and see concern etched across his face.

"Nicole?"

"Ok, Solomon, I hear you, but space doesn't work for me."

"Fuck...Nicole, please. Try to work with him, ok?"

"Ok," I say softly.

"What the fuck is going on out here, Prez? What are you doing with my girl?"

Devin swoops in and wraps his arms around me, pressing my back into his chest. His lips run a trail of kisses from my neck to my ear.

"We're just chatting a bit, man. Chill and get a damn room!" Solomon winks at me and walks away.

Putting my game face on, I turn in Devin's arms and smile.

"What are you doing here, Beautiful?" He's smiling at me as his eyes roam my face.

"I wanted to see you. I had a busy day and decided to take a break and reward myself." I pull him into a kiss, and he rewards me with a sexy moan and an ass grab. I squeal and laugh. The realization is hitting me more and more. I'm falling for him too.

Catcalls come from his boys. Whistles and yelling, 'get a room'! Devin breaks from me, "Fuck off...all of you. You dick heads are just jealous."

He takes my hand and leads me into the shop. After pulling a stool over for me to sit on, he gets a bottle of water from his office fridge, and hands it to me. Smiling, I reach for Devin's hand and bring him in for a kiss. I'm not ready for him to take this trip.
