Piper smiled softer then usual over at Devlin. Maybe it was the hormones...she would blame it on the hormones but the truth was that Devlin, with his consistent love and affection had slowly opened her up more then she could every remember.

"Be careful what you wish for Dev. You might get more of that then you've ever wanted. I'm not the kind of girl that does anything half way."

She jumped as she felt the hand on her shoulder, surprised at being snuck up on but then again she had been rather lost in thought and rather tired. But still, a smile came to her lips before her brow furrowed in concern.

"Of course!" She tried to recover, pushing herself up from the porch swing. Her eyes ran over him, trying to detect any injuries but whatever was making him unwell wasn't something that she could see. "Come inside and you can tell me whats hunting so that we can take care of it." She opened the door to the farmhouse for him.

Piper pushed herself up from bed, pulling on the creamy silk of her robe around her and glancing in the mirror at her reflection. Had she been louder then usual? Yes. Did she know exactly why? Also yes. Maybe it was petty but when she had caught her mother flirting with Devlin and him being Polite about it....well it had certainly kicked up some unpleasent memories.

Of course she knew that Devlin was always polite. He might even be thinking that he needed to get into her good graces in spite of what he knew about her basically rich person abandoning Cassie. But that hadn't stopped her from marking her territory....at least a little bit.

She pulled her thick hair out from under the collar and looked over her shoulder at him. "Do I?" She tried to sound innocent but she hadn't jumped out of bed this quick since they had first gotten together. "Cause I think what I need is to get us a snack."

No that wasn't it at all. She wanted to go down to the kitchen so that her mother would know damn well not to try and seduce her damn boyfriend....again.

"Unless you want to go and get it so my mother can feel you up again?"

"Oh man well first of all," She took a deep breath, clearly gearing up for something. "I would take him to my place so that no one would fucking dare come in to hurt him again. That shit just doesn't fly and if they come onto my property uninvited, they are going to have an ass full of buckshot. Forget blowing them a new ass hole- I'll give them 20."

"After that I would make sure that they fucking knew it. I'd make them scared- waiting to see when something would happen- because sometimes the worrying about it for a bit first is just as much of a punishment as the actual act. Then I would break everything they loved. I'd smash their car up, blow out their tires...there is so much I can do to make a man pay."

Her eyes narrowed dangerously. "And I will."

Piper smiled, feeling his fingers hicking up the fabric on her inner thigh even higher than it already was and it was indeed short. Very very short. So short that his hand could spread all the way across the soft, silky, warm skin there. Though it was nothing compared to the heat of his breath on her ear.

No, that made her insides twitch and her heart skip a beat. "Yeah? Wait until you see what's under it." She whispered back playfully.

Piper frowned before pulling up her shirt to the slight bump that had started to form there. It wasn't huge but it was certainly not her normal toned self. She knew it but in her head, she couldn't help the thought that she should do some crunches.

But sure enough, there was an upside-down smiley face. Thats what she got for taking a nap but she was entering that tired stage. She snorted. "But...why?" She knew he liked sleeping on it and wouldn't the smiley face get in the way?

Bringing he finger to her mouth she got it wet before trying to rub at one of the eyes. "Babe...I think it might have been sharpy? Its not coming off."
