The Devil's Sweetheart

In her haste, Leena scurried out of the place before she makes a fool out of herself because of some deviant. Only when she was out of their sight she understood, she lost the way in the huge mansion.

Unknown to herself, she strode upstairs and began moving back and forth in the corridor while picking the lost direction in dribs and drabs. All of a sudden, her body turned rigid hearing the approaching footsteps behind her. Has he arrived? Should I turn or not?

"You have no option except to face me." His voice was gravelly like the subdued thunder during the stormy night.

Left with no choice, Leena pursed her lips and turned around to rap on his knuckles after putting up a shameless behavior in the dining hall. "What the hell were you thinking, idiot. You almost created a rift between me and Aunt Eve on the first day. In front of everyone, you have...." Leena couldn't come up to say the things he did earlier.

"How is it my problem? You shouldn't have ditched me for the whole day." His voice laced with condemnation for Leena to make her suffer a pang of conscience. He still remembered the flying kiss she gave before fleeing away with his mom which vexed him to the core.

"It's only a day, Devin." Leena snaked her arms around his waist to pacify him feeling guilty for abandoning him.

"You are giving too much attention to my mom." He wrapped his arms around Leena's and hugged her tightly to hide her in his embrace.

Is he jealous of his own mom? Still, she needs to pacify him.

"I am sorry, my dear babyganoush." Leena buried her head on his chest, his warm breath caressed her forehead and her breath warmed his chest.

"Babyganoush?" Isn't it a dish name? "Can't you come up with something that matches my personality, sweetheart?"

"Babyganoush is a hot dish and to me you are hot."

"How hot?" He lifted her chin remembering the day Leena called him hotter than bunsen burner. The confession letter she has written is veneered in the secret room he prepared for her portraits alone. For eternity, her craziness would be envied by their future generations.

"When I see you in a black shirt, your light stubble, your sleek textured hair, and your piercing eyes when you command in the office." She paused and gazed at his enrapt reactions. Leena knew it is turning him on and it's dangerous but she couldn't stop. "And the salient veins protruding on your arms." She breathed imagining his hot body when he comes back hitting the gym. "You look like a manly beast in my eyes. Leave all that, your hotness is just being yourself." His attitude, kindness, his humor, his kisses, even if she sits for the entire day, it is not sufficient to describe him in words. Everything of him makes her surrender under him but she kept the thought to herself alone.

"Do you know what you are doing to me by telling all these things?" His voice was raspy, powerless. Without doing anything, she has turned him on to the point that he couldn't even talk or think while the only thing he wants is to feel her body against his.

"What am I doing, Devin?" All innocent, Leena unbuttoned his shirt button and started drawing circles on his chest with her fingers. The two shirt buttons were already unkept by him. She did not forget the things he has done a little earlier and she slowly tortured him as he did in the dining hall.

"Don't tempt me, Leena. " He warned grabbing her hand before she moves further down. He knew she is taking revenge but she has unraveled the beast in him and it is now urging him to feast on her

"What if I am?"

"Trust me, sweetheart, If you won't stop now then I won't stop until your legs are shaking and everyone hears you screaming my name." His eyes were dripping with lust and his voice turned husky. He has already lost control and her provoking is turning him into a beast.

His words ignited something in her body. She underestimated the seductive power of his decent language. "I will_"

She gasped when he pushed her against the wall, not bothered that they are outside letting people witness them making out. The kiss started rough and he levered her lips throbbing his hot tongue into her, sucking and licking it, occasionally biting her lower lips. His lips went further down the neck and nibbled her tender soft skin ramming his tongue over her soft spot earning a loud yelp from her. He knew she would scold him once his assault ends for marking his territory again.

Leena pulled back when she was out of breath, both panting breathless and it was further fueling his desire for her. He buried his head on her nape to calm down the beast that has hardened by now.

"If you tempt me again_"

"I wouldn't" For now. Leena whispered patting his back until he was steadily breathing. She understood it's dangerous but she knew she will do it again. "Let's go. They must be waiting for us."

Leena released herself from him and looked at their appearances. By now they have become a mess. His shirt is disheveled and her lipstick is stuck at the corner of his lips.

"OMG! What do we do now." She quickly buttoned his shirt running her hand through his shirt attempting to iron it but it worsened.

"Relax." He grabbed her hands and kissed her knuckles to calm her. "They would have known by now."

"Then what should I do now?"She cried.

"Let's go for another round since they knew already." He winked, he was whacked by an aggressive little kit.

"I am being serious and you have become naughty again?" She yelled for not even worrying that he was in front of his family.

"There is nothing wrong with a good-hearted person having a naughty side, darling." He whispered tugging her lower lip. "It's a good release, you know."

"Stop with your dirty thoughts, idiot." Leena covered his mouth to put a leash on his 'decent vocabulary.' "Let's not make them wait."

"It's better to make them wait." He grumbled. From the morning, they did not leave Leena for once. He was happy that everybody liked her but they are stealing her away from him now. He should have listened to Leena's words and brought her on the next week.

"No." She declined. "We are going now." She checked their appearance for one last time and wiped the lipstick that stuck at the edge ot his lips roughly until his skin turned red.

"Are you deliberately trying to rip my skin?"

"Yeap." She pressed her words and dragged him to the dining area.

The moment they entered, everybody glanced in the couple interestingly. Although Leena fixed his shirt they could see through the guise, in order not to embarrass Leena, they did not point. Leena quietly settled herself next to Eve and Harley.

"You guys are quite fast," Harley whispered putting broccoli Piece into her mouth.

"We just talked and that's all," Leena said trying to hide her blush.

"I never knew battling with tongues is a way of talking?" Harley added with a mocking voice. "By the way, remind me after lunch. You need a little bit of concealer."

"Why I need_"

Actuality hit her brain. Subconsciously, her hand traveled to the nape. Leena cursed him with all the words she knew when she saw him smirking at her. Gone! My image is ruined. They would have assumed we couldn't even keep our hands away even in the house. Without lifting her head, Leena ate the food and until everybody left the place except Devin, she neither lifted her head nor moved a little from the chair.

"Now Now, little kit. Enough with your acting." He chuckled seeing her quiet demeanor. He has seen this side of hers when Francis introduced her as an orthodox saint and the second time when he shut her mouth with kisses.

"Get lost." She looked at her sides and grabbed a spoon that was lying on the table and threw it on to him but Devin caught it in his hands effortlessly.

He winked and mouthed a kiss before running away for his life when Leena rose from the chair.

...

By the time, it was evening, everybody was sitting in the hall, engrossed in a conversation. Just then Leena saw a familiar person at the front entrance walking into the home. Her eyes wide opened and rushed towards him. She hugged him tightly

How are you?" He asked patting her head like a loving father.

"You are asking as if we have met ages ago." She giggled releasing herself from the hug.

"You are_"

"My dear best friend. You are finally here to see me?" Francis's words were interrupted when he was punched by his friend. That's how they have been greeting each other when they meet.

Leena doesn't need to ask again. Devin has told Francis and Fredrick's relationship to be best friends. Despite what she knew, seeing the two big shots meeting for the first time was thrilling her.

"I have come here to see if you are trying to bully my darling baby," Francis spoke up. He wanted to come in the morning in case Leena is not comfortable around but he also wanted to have family time to get mingled with them. After all, it's going to be her home in the future.

"You are talking as if we are monsters in the eyes of you, Mr. Hayes." Evelyn butted in pulling Leena towards her.

"I doubt you are one." Jealous, Francis pulled Leena from Evelyn's hold.

"Jealous fellow," Evelyn muttered.

"Did she bully you, Leena?" Francis asked.

"No Francy. Everybody is very sweet here." She said, remembering Francis's conversation on the day Devin and Francis fought. He told that someone has approved Regina in their family. Who is that? She hasn't seen anybody against her. Up until now, Leena thought it was Devin's mom, but it was confirmed today that she is not against her and in fact she loves Leena dearly.. She did not want to dwell on the topic when she was in a happy mood. She got a supportive in-law family and that's all she needed
