Chapter 53 –

~Devin~

I was unable to sleep. I was eager to see Susan even though I had told her it would be strictly friendship. My wolf wasn’t happy with me for it, but it was necessary.

As much as she meant everything to me, loving her was killing me, and it was wrong.

Love isn’t meant to kill. It is intended to build and nurture.

I heard when Susan entered the house, and my heart began to beat fast.

I was nervous and eager at the same time. I knew Rex was causing it, but I tried to control myself.

I heard her gentle footsteps on the passage and a door open.

I figured she had chosen a room already.

I did not know if it would be wise to check on her.

Maybe it was best she believed I was sleeping. That would help set the boundaries.

I laid still in bed, fighting myself from getting up and going to her, when I heard the knob on my door turn.

I shut my eyes immediately, trying to pretend that I was asleep.

I knew it was childish, but I wouldn’t let her know I stayed up for her. So I closed my eyes and regulated my breathing.

“Devin,” she said gently, and I fought the urge to wake up.

I usually had sensitive hearing, and I was a light sleeper. If she called me again, I would have to pretend to wake up, or she would know I was pretending to sleep. Susan was an intelligent woman.

“Devin,” she said a bit louder, and I pretended to wake.

I gently sat up in bed, pretending to be waking up, and looked in her direction.

I was stunned by what I saw.

She was just as beautiful as the last time I saw her.

She had on a sexy nightgown. I wondered if she had come to my house dressed like that. I wouldn’t put it past her. She must have hoped I would be awake.

Susan did not play fair.

I averted my gaze from her body and looked at her face.

I could see her eyes were swollen, and she had been crying.

“Hey,” I said, trying hard not to look at her see-through robe that showed sexy lingerie like a nightgown underneath it. It was black, and it had to be lace. Susan was unfair. I fought myself from grabbing her.

“Devin,” she said, calling my name but maintaining her distance.
