It was a loaded question, that I knew. There was a dark, lustful look in his eyes and the usual smirk had been replaced by something else. Something serious. He was asking if I wanted more of him and the obvious answer was yes. Yes, I wanted to wrap myself around him and breathe him in while he pushed himself inside me. Yes, I wanted to hear the way he whispered my name when he came and yes, I desperately wanted to wrap my mouth around his cock.
I also wanted to keep my guard up. I didn’t want to risk being hurt or disappointed because I was sure, so sure, that there was no way he was feeling the same way I was. The physical attraction was there and it was electric, pulsing between the two of us. But is that all it was? A physical attraction? There was a very good chance that I was reading too much into it and I wished there was some way I could stop myself. Truthfully, I was beginning to detest my own wishy washy behavior.
“I’d love a piece of cake,” I said finally, meeting his eyes.
We all moved into the living room where Knox sat on a plush loveseat with Abby on his lap while I sat back against the cushions of the couch, Logan sitting on the arm closest to me with a beer in his hand. Everyone made small talk, but I constantly found myself drawn to Robbie and Simone, who seemed to remain quiet for a good portion of the conversation.
I watched as her eyes kept flicking up to his every few minutes. She sat cross legged on the floor- she insisted she was most comfortable there and seeing how she was such a relaxed free spirit, I believed her- but she wasn’t focused on the conversation. It seemed that he wasn’t either. He was either in a daze or purposefully not making eye contact with the beautiful woman that sat at his feet. There was something between them, but as much as I wanted to know what it was, I was smart enough to know that it wasn’t my place.
“So, Logan tells me you work with animals. Are you a vet?”
“Not exactly,” I said and then launched into the details of my job. Everyone actually seemed interested in what I did for a living and it was nice. I didn’t feel like I was boring anyone.
It was a foreign feeling.
The night flew by and I didn’t realize how late it was as Knox announced he had to get Abby home. She was hanging onto him and wrapped around him like a monkey, her ankles locked at the small of his back. She was clearly drunk, but not in a sloppy way. She was giggly and fun, someone that I could actually see myself becoming friends with.
“Yeah, it’s pretty late,” Logan agreed.

Simone had disappeared a while ago, claiming that she had a stomach ache. I could see a pained expression on her face as she walked out the door and the stoic look on Robbie’s face as he watched her go.
“Thank you so much for inviting me over,” I said politely to the oldest of the three siblings.
Robbie leaned down and gave me a peck on the cheek before wrapping me in a one armed hug. “You’re welcome to come back anytime. It seems like you’re keeping my brother in check. He needs someone like that.”
Logan flipped him off before leaning in so they could do that weird, handshake turned hug thing that guys always do. After we bid farewell, the both of us headed toward his car. He surprised me by opening my door and closing it after I was seated and during the ride home he hummed along quietly to an old Tom Waits song. The heat was blasting and the air outside was frigid, but it was okay. It was peaceful. Warm in that way that I just couldn’t seem to describe.
As we walked along the dock back to Logan’s, I couldn’t help but want to fight to keep that feeling. That warmth. I couldn’t risk losing it again because, dammit, it had been so long since I felt so alive.
“Kiss me again.”
He turned to look at me and a tick appeared in his jaw. “J…”
I took a step closer to him and slid my hands up his chest, pushing his jacket open. “I want you to kiss me again. You asked me if you could misbehave after dinner. Do it, Logan. Do. It.”
That was all it took and then Logan was pulling me against him, his control snapping in an instant. His mouth ate at mine hungrily, all lips and teeth and tongue. Eagerly, he sucked my tongue into his mouth, not stopping until I was moaning and pushing my hands against his chest.
It was hot. Heavy. The most erotic thing to ever happen to me and we hadn’t even slept together yet. He was going to destroy my body and I would gladly let him. I was Logan’s for the taking and my willingness to submit caught me by surprise.
“You’re sure?” he said with his lips against mine. He was breathing heavily, panting, and I was dizzy with need.
“I’m sure. Want this. Want you,” I responded and sunk my teeth into his bottom lip.
The groan he let out was delicious and went right through. With his arms around my waist, Logan backed me up slowly, both of us moving until my back was pressed against the front door. Heat radiated off him and I couldn’t wait to have that heat wrapped around me. Engulfing me. Burning me in the best way possible.
“Once we get through the door, it’s on.”
I heard his keys jingle as he kept his eyes on me. He was asking for permission one last time, and while it was a gentlemanly thing to do, I didn’t want it. I didn’t want Logan the gentleman. No, I wanted Logan to be rough with me. I wanted to feel him for days after it was over, and I wanted him buried so deep inside me that I felt him in my stomach.
I took the keys from him, twisting the lock before looking back up at him. “Game on, Ashford.”
Chapter 10
T he second the door was closed and locked, Logan was on me again. He shrugged out of his own jacket and let it drop to the floor before shoving mine down my shoulders. I thought I could anticipate his next move, but I was wrong. Instead of kissing me like I thought he would, Logan’s hands cupped my face and he tilted my head back to look at him.
“You make me feel like I’m losing my fucking mind,” he rasped, his eyes black in the darkened house. “I don’t want to be too rough. I don’t want to hurt you.”
