“I don’t mind.” He comes to stand next to me and leans back against the wall. He places the bag on the floor and crosses his arms over his chest. I almost groan as the pose makes him look way too sexy for my poor heart to handle.
“Did Rhett speak to you about moving closer to us?”
I turn to my side and also lean against the door, looking up at him.
“He did, but I can’t ask Josie to move again.”
He turns as well, copying my pose, and resting his shoulder against the wall. It puts him so much closer to me, so close I can feel the heat from his body on my arms.
I wonder what his reaction would be if I were to lean in and kiss him, but shove the crazy idea to the back of my mind for now.
“It would be a better area for both of you, and you know how Rhett is, he’ll pack your stuff and move you himself if he has to.”
“I know. I just need time to talk to Josie about it.”
The second I smile, his eyes drop to my mouth, and it sends a rush of heat straight to my core.
I’ve only slept with one guy and he never made me feel the way Logan makes me feel with just one look.
The door opens, shoving me right into Logan. His arms wrap around me, helping me keep my balance, as he moves me away from the door. My hands are flat against his abs, and feeling his muscles ripple under my fingertips, almost makes me moan.
I struggle to keep a hold of my composure as Beth peeks inside. When she sees us, she smiles as if she caught two kids sneaking around, which only makes me blush.
“How was the session?” she asks me, her eyes darting between Logan and me.
“Good,” I blurt out. I grab Logan’s hand and pick up the bag. “We were just on our way. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I know it’s rude that I don’t introduce Logan but I’m uncomfortable as it is with him knowing that I take pole dance lessons.
Only once we’re outside do I slow down and take a deep breath. The night is nice and cool, which is just what I need right now to cool off my overheating hormones.
The sidewalks are filled with people, which is awesome, because I have a reason to stick close to Logan’s side. He doesn’t pull his hand from mine but instead weaves our fingers together. I glance up at him as we walk to where he left his car, and seeing the corner of his mouth pull in a sexy grin makes me wish I could have just one night with him to act out my fantasies. Damn, I wouldn’t waste one second.
The only other time he’s held my hand was when he took me to the prom. Even though we haven’t had contact for so long, I still love him. I think everybody has that one person they never stop loving. Logan is my person.

Logan drives the short distance to my apartment and we go up so I can sign the documents and change for work.
It’s quiet when we walk into the apartment and I’m a little relieved that Josie’s not home. She made it clear she’s not happy with the guys suddenly being back in my life. I try to understand and see things from her point of view. She doesn’t know them the way I do.
“Take a seat. Can I get you something to drink?” I ask as I walk to the kitchen.
“Water please,” he says as he sits down on the only couch we have.
I know the place looks l
ike a dump compared to Rhett’s apartment. I try to see it through Logan’s eyes. The secondhand couch and coffee table doesn’t look too bad. The walls can do with a fresh coat of paint. I scrunch my nose, thinking it looks okay.
I pour him a glass of water, and when I walk back to where he is, I almost lose my breath at the sight of him looking all business like. He’s still dressed in his work clothes minus the tie and jacket. He rolled up his sleeves at some point, but as he leans over the documents, I can only drool at the sight of him. Arm porn at it’s best. My eyes follow the veins from his arms to his hands, and I quickly suppress a happy sigh.
I place the glass on the table and sit down next to him.
“It’s just new copies of the original documents for you to sign. Rhett is still your beneficiary should something happen.”
He takes a pen from his pocket and holds it out to me. As I take it he doesn’t move away but instead leans closer to me while pointing to where I must sign. Every time either of us moves, our arms brush, sending tiny sparks racing over my skin.
When I’m done signing everything, I hold the pen out to him. He takes it as our eyes meet. Usually I’m quick to look away, but having Logan in my own place for the first time, gives me a new perspective on us, and what I want. I’ve done so many brave things in the past four years, why can’t I be brave and make the first move?
