It's Never Enough: Book 1 in the Never Series by Susan Soares

small bookstore left in our town, and they were hurting for business. The large chains and the online retailers were totally driving them on their way to closing their doors. The shop had added a small coffee area—basically a small corner table with one of those single serve coffee makers—and added events like an open-mic night. I loved all the little displays they created, such as theme tables that housed all the great books from each genre. Devin and I had separated as I gravitated towards the contemporary fiction section—I was a sucker for drama and romance. After writing down six new titles I wanted to purchase, I found my way to him. His energy was like a beacon guiding me. He was at a display table filled with astrology books.
    “Are you into astrology?” I asked while picking up a copy of Stars, Signs, and Sex .
    He looked up from the book he was holding. “I wouldn’t say I’m into it. I’m not checking my horoscope every day, but I think it’s interesting.” He flipped a page. “Check this out.” He moved closer to me. “This page tells you your love combinations. You know like what signs are compatible.”
    “So there is some validity to the ‘what’s your sign’ line?” I cuddled up next to him, absorbing his energy.
    He leaned into me, cocked an eyebrow, and said, “Hey baby, what’s your sign?”
    “Don’t ever do that again.”
    “Wow, apparently there was a reason why my ex and I didn’t get along,” he said after reading something. “This says I’m pretty much incompatible with everyone.” He continued to scan the page. “Oh wait, Aries and I make a perfect match. Well that’s simple enough then. Twelve astrological signs out there, and I’m only compatible with Aries.” He shook his head.
    I bit my bottom lip. “I’m an Aries.”
    Devin’s eyes rested on the book for a moment, and then a wide grin washed over his face as he slammed the book shut. “Okay, time to check out,” he said as he took me by the hand, and we waited in line to pay for the book that just told us we were meant to be together.
    After leaving the bookstore, we headed back to my apartment. It was an hour before I had to walk the dogs. “So we can just watch some TV if you want.” I said after handing him a soda.
    “As long as you’re sitting next to me, it’s all good.”
    Heat colored my cheeks. “Well, do you want to walk the dogs with me again? You can walk next to me then.” My body couldn’t help but be pulled to his as I cuddled next to him.
    “Sounds good, but you take Vixen. I think she has a crush on me.”
    I placed my chin on his shoulder. “She’s not the only one.”
    He placed his hand under my chin and raised it slightly. Then his lips came down onto mine. Warm and moist, our mouths hungrily explored each other. As his tongue swirled around mine and his breath intensified, I moved my body on top of his so I was straddling him. His hands found my ass and he pushed my lower body against his. Soft moans escaped my body as he moved his mouth to my neck and the exposed cleavage that peeked out of my V-neck shirt. He kissed and licked the tops of my breasts as I tugged the V-neck even lower giving him flesh to explore. My body temperature spiked and I wanted to rip all my clothes off.
    “Wait, Fiona might come home,” I managed to say in between husky breaths.
    Devin slowed the pace of his kisses on my neck. “We’ll tell her to look away.”
    My nose crinkled up from my quiet smile as his tongue flicked my earlobe. “Come on, we have to get off the couch.” I peeled my body off his and took him by the hands. Walking backwards I led him to my bedroom. “This way I won’t be thinking about her walking in on us, and I can concentrate more on your mouth,” I said before kissing him in my open doorway.
    “True,” he said in between kisses.
    His steps seemed hesitant as I pulled him towards my large Papasan chair in the corner of my room. Somehow, the bed seemed too
