“Don’t listen to her. Your body will love you.” Joe pulled Lily out of her seat and encouraged her to go and get changed into some activewear.
Watching their fun and easy banter was like walking on knives. I remembered how easy it was between Logan and me. Would we ever have that again?
* * *
I spent the rest of the day training Mama and making notes in her file so she would eventually have a detailed progress report when it came to her behaviour test. She was so willing to please and so easy-going, it made me wish all of my patients were this way. I’d even made her name official by writing it on her file.
At least, it was official until her new owner renamed her. I felt a pang of jealousy in my gut but squashed it quickly. There was no place for those kinds of emotions. I was allowed to love her enough to get her back on her feet but falling in love with her and thinking of her as mine was out of the question.
I glanced at the clock in the corner of my laptop screen. Zoey and Lily had been out with Joe all day. I wondered if they would even make it home this evening?
Surely, they had to. Zoey may have been a freelancer, but Lily had work the next day, and she hadn’t taken an overnight bag with her.
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the apartment door. With a cock of her head, Mama trotted over to the door with me.
That was a first.
One peek through the peephole had my chest constricting. I pulled the door open and tears prickled my eyes as I stared at the man who held my heart in his hands—a heart he could either cherish forever or crush in a single moment.
“How did you find me?” I asked.
“I have my ways,” Logan answered as he stepped closer to me. “I wanted to check on you after what happened last night.”
I wanted to shrink away, but I stood my ground. I held onto the doorframe and lifted my chin towards him in defiance. “Who says I want you to check on me?”
He rested his forearm on the doorframe above my head. “It wouldn’t be very gentlemanly of me not to.”
I felt the closeness of him keenly. We weren’t touching, but we might as well have been devouring one another.
“You weren’t very gentlemanly last night.”
Logan closed his eyes for a moment, as if in pain. “I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
I studied his face and eyes closely, searching for any insincerity, any cruelty, but there was none. My shoulders fell. “I miss you.” I didn’t want to admit it, and I definitely didn’t want to give him that power over me.
Or did I?
Logan traced his thumb over my chin. “You are the best thing in my life.”
I lifted my face to his. “And you’re the scariest thing in mine.”
His shaky breath became mine as his lips hovered less than an inch from mine.
“Do whatever you came here to do. If you’re too much of a coward, then leave,” I challenged him.
Logan caught my chin between his thumb and forefinger and before I knew it, his lips were on mine. I opened to him and he slid his tongue into my mouth. Our arms moved from the doorframe to wrap around each other’s bodies. He felt leaner than before, if that were even possible. Stronger, too. Had he been hitting the gym?
Logan walked me backwards into the apartment, kicking the door closed behind him, and pressed me up against the edge of the dining table. He lifted me onto its shiny white surface and began divulging me of my clothes.
I hurriedly undid his belt and the front of his jeans while he tore his shirt over his head. I leaned back to admire the view as he sheathed himself, but I barely had time to before he was parting my legs and sinking into me as far as he could go.
“Fuck!” he exclaimed.
“Yes,” I whispered through a moan as he laid claim to my body, relentlessly fucking me as I braced myself against the table with my hands. My breasts bounced in time to his pounding, my pussy welcoming the onslaught.
I wrapped my legs around him, pulling him in deeper, and his fingers dug into my hips.
When I pushed myself up on my elbows, he pressed his forehead against mine and we gazed openly into one another’s eyes. It drew something out in me I never knew I had. I bit my bottom lip and growled, “Fuck me until I come.”
