A Big Mistake
Flashback…
When Amber left, Devlin went back to the party. He wanted to come with her but she kept pushing him to stay. He relented at the end but he could not stop himself from getting worried about her. However, he also does not want to cause any issues between them. The moment the car drove away, he decided to get back to the party. He will stay for an hour more, then he will also go home.
It was a bit dark from where Devlin is. All the lights came from the back of the house. He suddenly bumped into someone. He heard the groan of pain from a woman’s voice. He tried to help her get up but she couldn’t.
“Please, just help me to the living room. I could not stand on my feet. I must have sprained my right foot.” Said the woman whose face could not be seen clearly from Devlin’s side.
“I am sorry. I didn’t see you walking to my side. Damn…I don’t understand why Dalton left off a few lights here.” He could have not bumped into her or the other way around. Now, he had to help her.
“First, we have to remove your heels. You can’t walk with these high heels.” He was about to go down to remove her shoes but she immediately stopped him.
“If you don’t mind, could you just please carry me inside to the living room at least.” She asked with her pained voice. He really wanted to leave her but at the back of his head, it was his fault why she got the sprained.
“Alright, just hold on tight.” He carried her bridal style and set her on the couch in the living room. It was only the housemaids who saw them. The visitors are all at the back of the house.
He looked at her, dry tears were evident on her face. He knows the woman too well. She is the famous Fiona Ross. They went out on a few dates together back when Raven broke up with him.
He wondered why she was invited to his brother’s engagement party. Raven for sure does not really know her as a friend. They don’t belong to the same circle of friends. Fiona is a party animal. She frequently goes to the bars to party with her sets of spoiled brat, rich friends.
On those occasions that he went out with her for dinner, she was just fine. They did not really click. Yes, she is beautiful and rich. She is famous for her family’s huge wealth. But there is something off with her. She was demanding. If he could remember correctly, they only went out for dinner like three times. Nothing happened between them despite her advances to lure him into bed with her.
“I am sorry. We need to use a cold compress to your foot before it gets too swollen.” He immediately asked one of the housemaids to get him an ice pack. It didn’t take long for the maid to come back with the ice pack. Before she left, Fiona asked her to bring a bottle of whiskey.
“That would help relieve the pain.” She smiled at Devlin. He only shook his head. He started pressing the ice pack on the injured area.
“Ahhh…” She dramatically groaned in pain. That made Devlin gently put pressure on her foot.
“I hope this could lessen the pain soon. And minimize the swollen area of your foot.” Devlin was still focused on what he was doing. He didn’t see the smile of triumph on Fiona’s face. She always gets what she wants no matter what…
The maid brought a bottle of whiskey and two glasses for them. Devlin did not plan to stay longer because he wanted to be home early for Amber.
“Come on. Just take a glass. I would be very sad if you don’t just drink up one glass for me.” She pouted, showing that she’s disappointed by Devlin’s refusal to drink.
He took the glass of whiskey so he could be done with Fiona. He finished it in one gulp.
“Hey, slow down.” She laughed, trying to get closer to him. He knows what she is doing.
“You are going to get drunk quickly. Why don’t you have another drink? This time, take your time. You know that I can’t walk with my condition right now.” Devlin gave her an exasperated look.
“What are you talking about? You are perfectly fine. You will get better soon. Just rest your foot for a day or two.”
“You are no fun, Devy.” She said with a husky voice. Devlin was just looking at her.
“I mean if we can’t join the party with them, why not bring the party here? Please…” She smiled teasingly.
“You know that I have just arrived half an hour ago. I just saw Dalton and Raven, then this happened. I haven’t even enjoyed the party.” She said, trying to make Devlin feel bad.
He does not really care but he knows her. She has an obsession with getting what she wants. He does not want to create any scene in this party. So, he indulged her. Maybe he can stay for half an hour more and then he will leave.
But it did not happen. They were joined by other visitors at the party. Some of them moved to the living room to be with Fiona. One bottle of whiskey quickly finished. They got more bottles. This time more hard drinks. Even Dalton and Raven joined them later on.
Devlin was already tipsy when Raven asked him about Amber.
“Oh she left earlier. She was not feeling well.” He simply said.
“Then, why are you here with Fiona? You should be with Amber.” She asked again.
“I bumped into her earlier and she got a sprain on her right foot because of me.” Raven looked at Fiona’s right foot. It does look slightly swollen.
“And?” She gave him a questioning look. Devlin may have not known it but Raven knew that Fiona likes Devlin a lot.
“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything. I just put a cold compress on her foot. I was about to leave earlier when she ordered a bottle of whiskey. Then, some visitors started to join us here. You know what… I should get going.” He said out of the blue. He looked at his wristwatch. It is past 11 pm. Amber left like three hours ago to his utter disappointment. He stayed longer than he planned.
“Wait, you should not drive. You are already drunk.” Raven stopped him. Devlin saw the worried look on her face.
“What do you care about? Besides, I am just tipsy. I can still drive.” He said stubbornly. He even smirked at her.
“Fine. Drive safely then. And by the way, thank you for coming to my engagement party. You and Amber. It means a lot to me. And I do hope that your relationship with Amber will work. She is a fine woman for you.” Devlin only rolled his eyes at her.
“What are you? Since when did you become a love adviser? Is that what my brother taught you?” He chuckled softly. He only meant it as a joke. Raven only smiled at what he just said.
“I should get going. Your fiancé is going to skin me alive.” This time, they both laughed together. He felt that what’s left with them is friendship. And he likes it that way.
“Hey, I should get going. Amber is waiting for me at home.” He said when Dalton came to them. His brother only nodded at him. He left without saying anything to Fiona who was already loud and too drunk to notice him.
He arrived home safely despite getting tipsy. When he got inside his unit, suddenly he felt dizzy. He went to his room to check on Amber but she is not there. His forehead creased.
‘Where is she?’ He looked for her in the guest room where it used to be her room when she first came to his penthouse. He found her sleeping soundly. Her angelic face came into full view. Her red lips are waiting to be kissed. He ran his thumb on her lips. He heard her moaning from his light touch.
And he went to lay down beside her. He started kissing her cheek. She still didn’t move. He kissed her ear, going to the neck. She is wearing a flimsy nightie which shows her pinkish nubs. He slowly rubbed them. He could not stop himself from taking his wife.
He went to kiss those twin peaks. That made Amber wake up. She tried pushing him away but he was too strong for her. He does not understand her reaction. Usually, she would welcome his attention with open arms.
“Devlin please… I am exhausted. And you are drunk!” She said, looking angrily at him.
“Baby, I am sorry but I can’t stop myself from making you mine. Please let me have you.” She tried to struggle but he felt her slowly melting with his hot kisses.
And when he got to his favorite place, she moaned with pleasure. And it was her who pulled him to pleasure her more.
“Dev…please.” She asked after feeling her molten liquid flowing out from her core.
Devlin changed their position. Now, she is on top of him. He lets her do what she wants with his body.
“I am yours, baby. Take me as you please.” Those words fired up her desires. She positioned his shaft in the middle of her core and sat on it so deep into her. They both moaned loudly with intense pleasure.
“Baby, please take it easy on me.” Devlin begged. She did what their bodies both desire. It was a long while until they both reached their climax.
Amber stiffened when Devlin just blurted out with his slurred voice… “I love you… Raven.”
