She looked down at the ring. “I don’t know if I’m worthy of this.”
Logan left the car door closed, grabbed her in a bear hug, and pushed her against the side of the vehicle to kiss her the way he wanted. Without a word, Jocelyn put her hands at her sides, relaxed her body, and let him conquer her completely.
“You’re more than worthy. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you.”
“I just thought of something.”
“What?”
“Kendall.”
Logan hesitated to speak at first, but said, “Please don’t doubt that he loves you, Jocelyn.” He paused again to find a way to break the news that Kendall might not want to marry her. “That said, I’m not sure he’s really a marrying kind of guy.”
“I see.” Sadness encompassed her expression.
“Don’t be upset. Trust me, after my last tragic brush with permanence, I wasn’t ever going get married either.”
“I’m not upset. I just wonder how things will be between the three of us.”
“A piece of paper won’t really matter, will it?” Logan kissed her lips tenderly and repeatedly.
“No. I mean it’s not like I can marry two men, right?”
Logan didn’t comment. There were ways to have a commitment ceremony regardless of who signed the “legal” marriage paperwork. He also truly didn’t know if Kendall would make a commitment. He’d never before indicated a desire for permanence. Then again, everything both of them had done around Jocelyn had been different. Logan hadn’t given up hope.
He kissed her again. After only a few seconds she responded with a passion he adored until he was seriously ready to push her down on the hood of the car and take things to the naked level.
Logan pulled his mouth from hers, and kissed her cheek. “You make me want to strip my clothes off in public and show you how very ardent my love for you is.”
Jocelyn glanced around at the houses in the vicinity as a sultry grin formed. “Let’s go then. I’m done giving my parents’ neighbors a show. They certainly don’t need or deserve the naked version.”
“Fine.” But Logan kissed her passionately once before releasing her.
An hour later they were at the airport loading her bags into the jet. Two and a half hours after that they were back in Montana, and driving through the compound gate to Logan and Kendall’s house. It was well past sunset, but they’d both wanted to get back to see what happened with the Reggie problem Kendall had come back to deal with.
They found Kendall in the den nursing a drink, looking downtrodden. Until he saw them, then his spirit seemed to lift. He stood as they approached. “How was your day?” he asked with a tired smile.
“Better than yours, looks like,” Logan answered. “What happened with Reggie?”
Kendall pushed out a long sigh, shaking his head. After a minute-long silence, he said quietly, “The article is scheduled to release at six in the morning. I figure I’ll have until 6:01 before the irate phone calls start.”
“Did you see the pictures Brittney gave him?”
Kendall shook his head again. “Nope. I guess we’ll just have to be surprised tomorrow morning.”
“I’m very sorry, Kendall.”
He shrugged. “You didn’t take the pictures. You didn’t release them. Nothing to be sorry for.”
“But I brought Brittney here. Trusted her not to do exactly what she ended up doing.”
Jocelyn spoke up for the first time. “I don’t know if I’m prepared to see pictures of you with another woman.”
Logan smiled. “They aren’t of me or her. She took some candid shots of others that I didn’t know about at the time. And in my mind that’s worse.”
She shrugged with a sad smile shaping her lips. “If you say so.”
Kendall looked her up and down once. “I see a new ring on your finger, Jocelyn. Are you perchance engaged?”
Chapter Twelve
Jocelyn had been spinning the new ring on her finger trying to get used the weight and feel of it. “As a matter of fact, yes. Although, I think Logan did it just to preempt my parents from yelling at me for not bringing Jenna home.”
