“Avie,” he scolded as pulled my hand away. But despite how obnoxious I was being, Devin didn’t seem frustrated. In fact, he looked like he was holding back laughter.
“Let’s save that for when you’re not drugged, silly,” he remarked as we pulled into the driveway of my townhouse.Thankfully, I had still been lucid enough to give him my address.
“Nice place.” He turned his keys in the ignition and hopped out of the driver’s seat, looping around to help my drug-addled self out of the car. “Looks a lot like my own.”
“You live in a townhouse toooo?” My words slurred as Devin lifted an arm around my shoulders and hoisted me out of the car. I plodded forward, my body wobbling like a top with every step. “You should carry me agaaaaiinnn. Pleeease?”
Devin rolled his eyes, covering his mouth with his hand to hide his laughter. “C’mon loopy, it’s only a few steps to the front door.”
We managed to make it inside without me falling, but my unstable body practically spilled into the front hallway once Devin opened the door. Cassidy was sitting on the living room couch, waiting for me to arrive home.
“Avery!” she exclaimed, running towards us. She stopped and backed up a few steps once she realized how incoherent I was. “Uh…are you okay?”
“I’m fiiiiiiine.” I mumbled as I wobbled in place.
Devin walked up behind me and wrapped his arm around my back, steadying my jelly-like spine and preventing me from collapsing.
“What did you do to her, dude?” Cassidy teased, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Oh hush, Cass,” Devin retorted, his bicep straining as he held me upright. “The docs gave her heavy-duty pain meds, so she’s high as a kite. I’m sure it’ll wear off by morning.”
Devin began walking my weary self towards my room, and Cassidy raised an eyebrow.
“You escorting her to bed?” she asked in a suspicious tone.
Devin scoffed, a wry smile on his face. “What else do you suggest, letting her fall asleep on the floor?”
“I’m fiiiiiine,” I lied, pressing a palm against Devin’s chest. My lurking hand crept further up his shirt and slipped under his collar. I grinned seductively as my fingers traced his bare skin.
Cassidy burst out laughing. “Damn. What was in those drugs? She’s all over you.”
Devin shook his head, pulling my hand out of his shirt as he dragged me into my bedroom. I heard Cassidy shout something behind us as Devin closed the door, but I was too spaced out to comprehend it.
It was almost midnight, and in addition to being high on pain meds, I was also exhausted.
But that didn’t stop me from pulling Devin into my lap once he helped me crawl into bed.
“You little tease,” Devin growled in my ear. He tried to pull away, but I grabbed his wrists and pulled him back toward me.
“Deeeeev,” I whined in a comically seductive tone. “Come hereeeeee.”
He relented, and his body fell on top of mine again. I pressed kisses against his neck while he struggled to fight off my advances. I was in no shape for intimacy, but I knew Devin wanted me just as much as my drug-addled self wanted him. And that made it hard for him to say no.
One of my hands worked its way up his back, rubbing the muscles behind his shoulders, while the other one reached for his belt buckle. I was nearly there, loosening the strap with my shaky fingers, when he suddenly grasped my hand in his.
“Avie,” he laughed. “That’s enough. We’re not doing this while you’re drugged.”
“Plllleeeeease?” I plopped another kiss on his cheek. A reluctant sigh of pleasure slipped out of him, breezing pastmy ear. At that moment, the pain meds weren’t the only thing I was high on.
“Wear a condom!” Cassidy’s shout carried from her bedroom.
Devin cringed and spun around, an exasperated frown on his face.
“Shut up Cass!” he shouted back across the townhouse.
I exploded into giggles, and Devin shook his head. An embarrassed smile caused his pale cheeks to tint pink.
He turned back to me, tucking a lock of curls behind my ear. “Sleep well, Avie. I’ll text you in the morning.”
