Under the Crescent Moon

Chapter six

Tara’s POV

I just can’t get over the size of this place Devon lives at! And the area is so beautiful next to a huge lake, where we set up a picnic and eat lunch. Checkered red and white tablecloth, and all. Very quaint! Then we play with frisbees, where I discover I have very little talent for the sport. But it was fun anyway.

Then we head over to some huge obstacle course, where Devon promises a fun time using their zip line, which neither I nor my brothers have ever done before.

Devon’s sister Gabby is already there, along with a couple friends. I don’t mind, at first. His sister seems nice and friendly, but the other girls not so much. Two of them seem a little wary of me, but the other one of them is downright hostile!

So this b***h in skintight clothes named Savannah, with her obviously bleached blonde hair and wearing a push up bra that she probably didn’t need since we was spilling out of it, looked me over with a smirk. She made a snide comment about me looking like a boy because of my flat chest while Gabby was taking her turn on the zip line, and then she claimed Devon was her fiancé and that she suspected she might already be pregnant!

“In your dreams,” Lucas says to the girl.

“You need to get over this obsession, Savannah!” Troy says with an eye roll. “You know very well that Devon wouldn’t touch you with a 10 foot pole!”

“As if you know anything, jerk!” Savannah says spitefully. “I’ll prove to you I’m his fiancé! I’ll go have him kiss me right now!”

“Whatever, b***h!” I said under my breath as she took off on the zip line.

“You’ve got nothing to worry about,” Lucas tells me. “Savannah has been practically throwing herself at Devon for more than a year now, and he just ignores her.”

“She even started a rumor that Devon is gay, and a lot of members in the community believed her because he refused point blank to sleep with her.” Troy adds. “She was probably hoping he’d prove he wasn’t gay by sleeping with her!”

“Wow!”

And then we watch as off in the distance Savannah “stumbles” after getting her harness off and tries to kiss Devon, who immediately pushes her away. And I see red!

I barely even register once I’m on the zip line and traveling rather quickly towards Devon. I can’t believe the nerve of that b***h! I’d like to scratch her eyes out! I’d like to slap that smirk off her face! I’d like to kiss Devon, and show her who Devon really wants!

Although I’m still feeling insecure about that last part. Am I sure that he wants me? Last time we kissed was less than stellar. Maybe he’s really not that in to me?

Then he was wrapping his arms around me as I told him everything that stupid bleached blond bimbo had said back there. He laughs as I tell him what Troy and Lucas had said.

“I only want to kiss you!” He tells me, and then he does. Wrapped up tightly in his arms, his eyes blazing with unspoken desire, my mouth opens in shock, and this time he overwhelms me with his suppressed strength and desire. I feel week in the knees as his tongue does things in my mouth that I felt to my very core. This was nothing I had ever experienced in my life, as passion awakens between us. I suddenly wanted to give Devon everything that a woman could give a man, and more, even though the thought was terrifying!

Then Devon lets me go, laughing, as we are nearly knocked off the platform by my little brother as he quickly came in for a landing on the zip line. I start laughing as well.

I decided to stay with Devon on the platform to “help”, while anyone who wanted to take a second turn on the zip line did so. Savannah came last, and wanted help getting out of the harness, but we were too busy kissing and just ignored her until she miraculously figured out how to unbuckle herself and walked off in a huff.

Then Lucas was suggesting that we go water skiing. Gavin and Jayden are super excited to go do that, as well as Gabby and Savannah. Summer and Carla could care less, and walked off claiming they have to get ready for a party this evening.

“There isn’t room in the boat for 8 people!” Lucas says. “Two of us will have to stay here.”

“It doesn’t look like Tara is interested.” Savannah suggests. “Why doesn’t she stay here? I can squeeze in anywhere, and there will be plenty of room once someone starts skiing!”

“I’m good with that.” I say, giving Devon a sly wink. It’s true I’m actually not at all interested in another group activity. And I suspect that if I stay on shore, Devon probably will, too.

“It’s settled then!” Savannah crows triumphantly. And everyone heads back to the house to get changed into swimwear.

Devon and I also head to the house, and he leads me to the top floor after showing my brothers a restroom on the ground floor where they can get changed into their swim trunks.

I notice a few of the doors have Greek letters on them, and I ask Devon about that.

“Oh, uh… we use that instead of door numbers. This door here that says Alpha, that’s where my family lives. Stay right here for a moment,” he says and heads inside. The door across the hallway says Beta. I notice 4 more doors in the hall, Delta, Gamma, and 2 others with nothing written on it.

Then Devon comes back and shows me he had gotten a key. We walk down the hallway to one of the unmarked doors, and he uses the key. We walk inside.

“So this is basically a mirror of my family’s suite down the hall,” he explains. “It’s pretty empty right now, but this is where I’ll be living soon, once I’m ready to get, umm, married.”

He kinda blushes at that, and I find it irresistibly cute! Then he is showing me around the space, which is actually quite large. To the right of the door is a decent sized kitchen, and to the left I suppose would be a dining area, and straight ahead is a large living room with a fireplace with built in storage on both sides, plenty of windows, and access to a deck. Then we walk down a hallway next to the kitchen and to the right is a small-ish room with glass doors that Devon says his dad uses as a second office in their apartment. We enter the room. It doesn’t have a window, but it does have skylights so between that and the glass doors it feels sunny and welcoming. It also has a small closet.

“Mom says once dad retires and doesn’t need an office anymore, she wants to convert it into a craft room.”

Across the hall from the office is a huge bedroom with walls of windows on two sides of the room. There is also access to a huge bathroom done in marble tile, as well as an immense walk in closet that’s bigger than my bedroom at home!

There is also a private deck just off the bedroom, and Devon takes me out there to show off the view it has of the beautiful lake, surrounded by trees and jagged looking hills. It’s breathtaking.

We both laugh as we see the group down below getting into the speed boat for water skiing. We can’t see Savannahs expression, but her body language says everything we need to know. She’s obviously unhappy that we “tricked” her into going on the boat without Devon. She stomped her feet a couple time, before entering the boat. We watched as it took off before anyone could change their mind.

“I better have Troy talk to his sister about her behavior.” Devon says. “She’s getting to be too much!”

“Troy’s sister?” I say, barely able to believe it. “He’s so nice! How did he end up with such a horrible brat for a sister?”

“They have different mothers.” Devon says sadly. “Troy’s mom died, and his dad remarried. Savannah takes after her mom Jackie way too much.”

“Anyway,” Devon continues, standing behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. “Couldn’t you just imagine yourself sitting out here in the mornings, eating breakfast together, with a view like this?”

“You’d be wearing your bathrobe, with nothing underneath,” Devon whispers suggestively in my ear, taking a little nibble as he gently rubs my breasts and I begin to feel aroused at what he is doing. “I’d lift the robe enough to expose your sweet little ass to me, spread your legs just a little, and make love to you right here, out in the open.”

I gasp in surprise when he gives my n*****s a gentle pinch. He begins kissing my neck, and I involuntarily moan at the sensations I’m feeling down in my core.

Devon stills when he hears my moan.

“Sorry.” Devon says, stepping away from me. “I forget that we’ve known each other for only two days. I’m moving way too fast!”

“That’s ok,” I tell him. “I was really enjoying it!”

“I know,” Devon says, sounding resigned. “But you’re also underage. I was starting to forget myself. Let’s go look at the rest of the apartment.”

Devon shows me that there are two more bright and spacious bedrooms, with a “Jack and Jill” bathroom in between. The bathroom has separate areas for the vanity, the toilet, and the tub. It would be very convenient for multiple users.

“This space would be for our pups!” Devon explains.

“I’m not really a fan of dogs, actually.” I say, confused. “I thought dogs generally did their business outdoors.”

“Oh, sorry,” Devon says, turning bright red in embarrassment suddenly. “I meant these rooms would be for our children.”

And now I’m the one embarrassed! Two days ago I had never even had a boyfriend, and now I’m suddenly looking at a place to live with this gorgeous guy who claims to be my soul mate, and talking about having kids! Oh my god, this is just too much, too soon!

I need to go for a walk.
