Wanted by the Devil
One of the women was in her 30's but the other one looked only a couple of years older than Kaylie. Long blond hair, peachy skin, and a body that looked like she could moonlight as a swimsuit model. She would have been stunning if not for the pinched look on her face. For a moment Kaylie wondered what was wrong with her. Until she realized what is was. A heavy feeling settled in the pit of her stomach.
                  Oh. She was jealous.
                  Kaylie wondered if the girl had been Devlin's girlfriend before her. Maybe he ran through girls like tissue paper. Maybe she was being taken advantage of. She felt herself getting quiet, letting the conversations around her wash over her like water.
                  "Let's take a walk."
                  She looked up at him and nodded. Devlin pulled her out of the crowd to a path that circled the lake.
                  "Okay Kaylie, what's bothering you?"
                  He didn't sound mad, she realized thankfully. But he was throwing her off balance. He really did not beat around the bush did he? Well, then she wouldn’t either.
                  "I'm not sure what I'm doing here."
                  "You're going for a walk. After that you are going to a picnic and after that, you are going to a carnival."
                  She stopped walking and gave him an exasperated look. He just grinned at her. The man was far too pleased with himself.
                  "Yes, but why?"
                  "Because you graduated."
                  "But why am I here with you? "
                  He gave her a knowing look and leaned back against a tree, crossing his arms.
                  "Don't tell me you don't know."
                  "I'm not being coy Devlin. I know you like me. I just don't know how many other girls get the royal treatment. There was a blond back there giving me evil looks. I don't want to step on someone else's territory."
                  He laughed.
                  "You are definitely not coy. Yes, I like you. No, there aren't any other girls. And no one has ever gotten the royal treatment before you. Ever. "
                  She narrowed her eyes at him, undecided.
                  "Come here, Kaylie."
                  She stayed where she was, lifting her chin. He laughed again and was on her in a second, lifting her up and over his shoulder like she weighed less than a rag doll. He carried her back to the tree and leaned her against the rough bark. Then he leaned over her, boxing her in with his arms.
                  Her breath was coming fast and shallow as he leaned forward with a heavy lidded look in his eyes. She looked away, suddenly nervous. He lifted her chin with one hand, forcing her to meet his eyes. What she saw there took her breath away. He wanted her. Even more than she realized. It was written all over his face.
                  "I know what I want and I go after it. I don't lie and I don't cheat. I'll take care of you if you let me Kaylie."
                  Her mouth opened slightly at his proclamation.
                  "Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?"
                  He just grinned and leaned forward, his mouth less than an inch from her ear.
                  "I'm asking for a little more than that. I play for keeps."
                  "Oh."
                  Her whole body was tingling from his nearness. She was trembling a little bit she realized. She hoped he didn't notice. He kissed her ear and then moved below it, nuzzling her neck deliciously with his soft lips.
                  "So?"
                  "What?"
                  Her voice sounded breathy, a ridiculous caricature of a woman in the
