The Devil's Sweetheart

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Devin was flecking kisses all over her face, not once his eyes went tawdry despite she was naked. He was rock-hard, throbbing in pain after the intense make-out session but Leena\'s condition is also his top priority.

Watching his eyes docked onto her face, Leena asked. "How long are you going to look at my face? Aren\'t you bored of it?" Her voice sounded hoarse which was not a surprise to her now.

"Even if I have the time of eternity, it does not suffice." He added on, her voice ticked his inner demons again, triggering the memory of her moans and lewd sounds making him breathless again.

"Ahhh! My Devin has turned into a cheesy poet."

"And you are the only one I want to write cheesy things about." He said.

"That\'s what cheese said?" She asked.

"No." He said tracing her arms. Her body shivered under his feather-like touches. "It\'s your husband."

\'My Husband! Sounds so good to hear. I should thank God, for giving me this special person. I can annoy him for the rest of my life.\'

"Devin...." Leena called up, gazing at the floor. Her dress was lying somewhere her hand could not reach and she is too shy to get up under the predatory eyes.

"Hmm...Tell me, darling."

Leena muttered in a low voice. "I_I am not wearing anything."

"Of course." His gaze moved to her body which was now covered with his strawberry bites, proud that he was the reason for them."It\'s a shame to me if you are still clothed."

"Don\'t tease me." Leena hit his shoulders. "Get me that dress."

"Sweetheart, your dress makes no sense to_"

"Get my dress now!" Leena stopped his thoughts. He is turning into a blabbermouth nowadays.

Reluctantly, he got up, brought a comfy dress from the closet. While putting on her body, Devin could see, she was zoning off. "Did it hurt? Are you in pain? Let me get you_"

Before Devin could get down, Leena held his arm and she assured him with a smile. "It did not pain at all." It felt so good but she kept the thought to herself.

"Then what is bothering you?" Putting her head on his chest, he pulled her close. When he saw her twirling her fingers around the blanket, he released them and entwined them with his. "What did I tell you before? If something is bothering you, ask me immediately."

"With h_ow many women, you did it in the past?" Her last word was barely a whisper when she felt his muscles stiffened. Leena gulped in fear, cursing at herself for bringing the topic but she couldn\'t help because it bothered her. What if he has pleasured another woman and she stopped imagining.

All of a sudden, her body was flipped over and the tall frame towered over her body, his rough voice penetrated her ears. "You still doubt me! Didn\'t I tell you, I didn\'t love any woman in the past?"

"I_I did not mean that." Leena quickly explained. "I am asking about the women you had sex with. I know you were not involved in any scandal and didn\'t love anyone in the past but you might have physical needs also. With your status and money, you can have any women_"

"Did that Reese pollute your mind again?" His voice was stern and commanding.

Guilt trickled through her and without speaking a word, she gazed at him.

"Leena." Devin sighed. "Sometimes your IQ and EQ are below the belt. You know that?"

"I know. Call me dunderhead but I can\'t think with my mind when it comes to you. I get jealous, I get mad when a woman even looks at you_"

"Shh..." He silenced her placing a finger on her lips.

"You are right. I am not a monk. I do have physical needs." He added, taking her reactions from guilt to envy now. "I could have bedded as many women as I wanted, but more than physical needs, I wanted a genuine connection. I want to undress layers of the soul of someone I love before I feel the desire to tear away her clothes. My heart, my soul, the aching desire in my body belongs to you alone, Leena."

"I am sorry...." She hugged him tightly listening to his confession. "I will never doubt you, Devin. Please don\'t get mad at me."

"I am not mad at you. I am happy that you brought this topic instead of holding yourself." He gently patted her back while thinking of the mastermind behind this. Reese Allen. I got you.

"If you are still bothered about today\'s make-out session, remove that from your brain. I have zero experience. I have read one of the crazy books you have given as a gift. I did not fuck any woman."

Leena hit his shoulder with a pout. "You are speaking unparliamentary language."

"You will only understand if I speak in your language."

"Forgive this poor soul, babylicious." Leena looked at him with puppy eyes and when she didn\'t receive his response, she poked his arm. "How do I make your mood better?"

"You know it already." In a lazy tone, he added. "I want the \'formal\' apology in your language."

"C_an I do it some other time?" She pleaded.

"Then let\'s talk when you are_"

Devin was about to get down from the bed, Leena captured his hand. "I_I will do it."

"I am waiting." He said, crossing his arms.

Holding her ears with both hands, in a low whisper, Leena muttered. "I am sorry for being a little p_poop."

Devin burst out into a fit of laughter and pulled her close towards him. "You are such a cutie pie, Leena. By that way, is it only little?"

"Get lost, idiot." Leena shoved him away, turned to the other side, and closed her eyes but to annoy her, he pried open her eyes.

"Wang Devin," Leena got up calling his full name. "If you annoy me again, I will pack all my bags and go to my Francy\'s home tomorrow."

Devin zipped up his mouth and did not speak a word. With a triumphant smile, she nuzzled closer and soon drifted to sleep in his arms as he patted her back in rhythm.

...

Morning arrived, hugging a pillow, Leena was sleeping with her mouth opened without heading to the intercom buzz that was continuously ringing.

"Go and see who it is, Devin." Leena hit the pillow in her deep slumber but she heard no reply. Vaguely, she opened her eyes and kicked the pillow to the ground. "I thought you were my babylicious." She got down from the bed and looked at the intercom where a man was standing in front of the door. Who is this new creature, I haven\'t seen? How did the front desk allow him? Leena rushed to the bathroom and knocked on the door."Did you call someone to our house?"

"Let him in, Leena." She heard Devin\'s scream. "I will be in a minute."

"Okay."

Before opening the door, Leena checked her appearance in the mirror. The dress was barely covering her body parts. "No for others. Only my babylicious can see." She quickly changed her dress into something decent and went ahead to open the door and scanned the man from head to toe.

"H_i...I am here to meet Devin." He greeted with an awkward smile. Why is she scanning like I am her prey? "M_y name is Nick."

"Not bad! It\'s my favorite cartoon channel."

"Huh? Which cartoon?" He asked.

"Nickelodeon," Leena said.

"I don\'t know much about cartoons." He scratched his forehead. "I like the action and horror genre."

"Oh!" With disinterest, Leena opened the door and let him inside. \'Why do people like those fleshless creatures? All Devin\'s friends are boring except Andrew.\'

Just when Leena was about to go into the kitchen to make something to the guest, Devin\'s voice rang in her ears. "Stay here, Leena. I have to talk with you."

"What is it?"

"How about I assign a bodyguard to you?" Devin hesitantly asked. He knew her privacy will be impeded but with the current circumstances, he doesn\'t have a choice.

"Wow! Sounds good." She nodded enthusiastically.

"Are you really okay with it?" Devin asked again. He has thought of many scheming ways to convince her but all went in vain.

"Of course babylicious. I can show off to everyone and people also think that I am a mafia don if I have my own personal guard." Leena seriously posed like a gangster holding an imaginary gun in her hand pointing towards Nick.

Nick: " "

"You can practice it later on him" Devin held her hand and introduced Nick. "He will be your protecting guard from now."

"I don\'t want him." Leena declined. "Get a women bodyguard."

"No! I am not okay with a woman" He stressed.

"Devin..." She cried hugging his waist. " He doesn\'t even watch cartoons. I can\'t talk about my dresses, accessories. If it is a woman, I can build a good rapport."

"She is right, Devin." Nick quickly added not leaving the chance to escape. "She might get bored with men. Maybe we can assign Sara or_"

"Not even in your dreams."Devin\'s voice raised hysterically and Nick zipped up his mouth.

Devin turned to face Leena and explained patiently. "Sweetheart, I will make him watch all the cartoons by this weekend and you will have company. Is that fine?" Devin whispered into her ears but when he didn\'t get a positive response, he lifted her and carried her to the bedroom. He knows a way to lure her into his trap.

Nick prayed that Leena would not accept him.

After an hour...

Leena and Carrot were sitting in the car along with Nick cursing at Devin for luring her into his trap.

\'How do I handle this woman from today\' Nick cried speeding the car.

....

WD.

"Research on memory impairment study." Devin flipped to another page of Dr. Walter\'s report. Just then Harley entered the office knocking on the door. "You got a package, bro."

"Is it Jurassic?" Devin asked without lifting his head. Who else it could be except her. After all, we fought in the morning.

"You seem to be expecting a lot from that person. Should I tell your wife?" Harley added.

"Well, she would be happy to know." He chuckled. "So, who is the sender?"

"Anonymous. Sent using USPS."

Devin\'s hand stopped in the mid-air all of a sudden. He grabbed the package and tore the box open.

Two papers were neatly stacked on the box.
