Devon's Pov

After our little workout she wanted to watch a movie. We ended up watching blended with adam sandler but she was passed out before we even got to the good part. She has her head lying across my lap and i focus on her more than the film.

she has this cute little crease in her eye brows and her breath lets out a little hmph every once in a while.

I play with her soft hair and twine my fingers through it. Her touching herself tuckered her out and she went to sleep pretty quickly after. She snores lightly and i can tell she's fallen into a deep sleep. I turn off the movie and just enjoy where i am.

So much is wrong. I have to figure out what happened to me and why. I don't want to put her in danger but i can't leave her. Not now.

If i could whisk her away to some small cottage in europe i would. I'm sure we could live out a happy life. With the amount of blood on our hands a fresh start wouldn't hurt. But that's not even a possible idea. There's too much going on here.

She groans softly and I decide it's time to get her to bed. I tap her shoulder lightly until she stirs awake

"mm?"

"cmon love it's time to go to bed. If you sleep like this then your neck will hurt. If i could carry you i would"

she groans sitting up rubbing her eyes

"ahhh i'm up"

she lets out a tired yawn and gets up from the couch to help me to bed. She supports me as i limp into the bedroom. after using the washroom i get into bed and as i'm laying in the covers she goes to leave

"oh uhm nadia?"

she turns and yawns

"yeah?"

"you don't have to sleep on the couch..."

she smiles a little before crawling in beside me.

Her warm little body snuggles against mine like a koala and she sighs contently.

"hey devon?"

"yes love"

"i'm really happy you came to me"

i'm shocked by her saying this. I know she is nursing me back to health but i didn't know she felt like this.

"nadia you are the only thing i have. I don't have family. I don't have friends."

she looks up to me with her big round doe eyes and she blushed lightly

"either way i'm glad you chose to come here instead of dragging your stubborn ass home to die on your couch"

we sit in silence but i know she's not asleep cause i can feel her tensed against me.
My eyes are closed but i just blissfully lie her with her against me. The last thing she says before i hear her fall asleep is

"you're all i have too devon..."

My heart flutters. I love the way she says my name

The next morning
Nadia's POV

i open my eyes and i feel so well rested. The couch has been uncomfortable but i didn't want to make devon feel weird. Last night she asked me to sleep in the bed with her and i was so giddy... i mean she did literally talk me through an orgasm but yk.

after i make breakfast i go to my drop spot to pick up the new information on my next target.

I slide it out from the tank of the toilet seat at the tim's on king west. i plop it into the bag i always bring and i head home. Once i get there i settle in my office with my new case so i can look into this guy. He seems sketchy.

At about 1 in the afternoon devon limps into my office and sits on the couch. She does this most days since there not too much to do.

"new case?"

"mhm and this guy looks like a scum bag"

she turns on her stomach interested in the case

"oh yea? tell me about him"

"he fucks the women he works with before firing them. I guess someone finally had enough and now he's in my hands."

"ew i fucking hate men"

"devon that's kinda gay"

she looks at me with amused annoyance behind her eyes.

"nadia we are gay"

i smile at her and smirks back

"alright lemme see the fucker. Let's rate him on a scale of 1-10 and based on that we can chose how to kill him"

"we?"

"oh i uh, i miss working. Can i help you?"

"sure i guess two is better than one. come look"

she hobbles over to me and rests against my chair while reading over the file. Once she's read through it i give her his headshot.

"fuck"

"yea i know he's ugly right"

"no. Fuck nadia. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck"

i turn over my shoulder to look at her

"devon what's wrong"

her expression is blank but confused

"that was my last target. He's the leader of the group that jumped me. And Matthew berry was definitely not the name i was given"

i'm processing what she's saying slowly

"so alot of people want him dead?"

"nadia i don't think that's it. He tried to kill me. He almost did... but it was like it was planned. What if he's hiring hits on himself?"

"why would he do that?"

"i have no clue"

she closes the file and turns to me

"well i intent on finding out. Nobody can fuck with you."

i waddle back to the couch and sit down to think.

"why could he be ordering hits on himself?"

"we're the guys who beat you really rough looking?"

"yea..."

"devon what if he's hiring the hits so he can take out assassins"

"why would he want to do that? oh. He wants his circle to be the only assassins in the city"

"he's trying to take us all out..."

"fucking christ"

we sit in silence for a few minutes just wallowing in the discovery.

"nadia what do we do now?"

she sighs and runs a hand through her hair

"well the way i see it, we have a few options. We can not take this case, we can warn the network, or we could take him down with this information."

"take him down"

i hope she knows she sounds ridiculous

"he doesn't know that we see past his front. We have the upper hand and we can use this to our advantage. We kill him and his fucking cronies and everything goes back to the way it was before"
