Logan stood and helped me up off the couch. As I went to turn, I almost fell, Logan reached out and grabbed me around the waist, steadying me. He pulled me back against his chest and let me rest there, holding me. I closed my eyes, the feel of his chest behind me was so comforting. His large strong hands still sat on my waist even though I was now fine. I felt his lips at my ear and a warm puff of breath on my neck.
“I think maybe I’ll take you home,” he whispered.
The light-headed feeling returned as I felt my pulse quicken. “I don’t think that is a good idea,” I whispered back. I should have moved, but I didn’t. Instead, I stood there taking in the feeling of my body pressed to his.
He leaned his head into my neck. “You smell so good,” he whispered, his one hand left my waist to pull my hair back away from my face. The feel of his rough fingers against the skin of my neck, sent a shock of energy through my body, hardening my nipples. I felt his breath on my neck, the hot puff of air as he breathed, and then I felt his lips on my earlobe. His teeth grazed the bottom. “I want you so bad.”
I closed my eyes and let my head fall to the side, letting him have full access to my neck. As he kissed his way down, he gently pulled the collar of my shirt off my shoulder, exposing my bare skin to him. His lips gliding over my skin. His hand left my waist and found its way to my breast, gently squeezing it. I felt a rush of heat to my center. I turned and met his lips, as he squeezed my breast he deepened his kiss, his tongue forcing my lips apart. He wasted no time, his fingers gingerly unbuttoned my shirt, he slipped the cups of my bra off my breasts and ran his thumbs of my already hardened nipples as he devoured my mouth.
He pulled away from my mouth and looked at me and when I didn’t protest, he bent down and ran his tongue and teeth over each hardened nipple, sending shock waves through my body. While his hands continued to caress and fondle my breasts, he met my mouth again, this time totally losing me in his kiss. His large hands ran through my hair cupping the back of my head, his tongue swept through my mouth.
The sudden ring of my phone brought me back to reality. I jumped out of Logan’s arms, quickly covering myself up and turned in circles looking for my phone. I reached for it, fumbling it in my hands. “Hell, Hello.”
I swallowed, embarrassed that someone had caught us. I pushed my hair out of my face trying to regain my composure. I was so warm, and my eyes connected with Logan’s as I heard Jenna’s voice come through on the phone.
“I’m just about home,” I lied, fastening the buttons on my shirt. “Can I call you back once I am inside?” As soon as I heard the answer, I ended the call, grabbed my bag and made my way to the door. I left Logan standing there, the outline of his raging hard on through his jeans staring back at me.
“I will drive you, hold on.” I heard his voice from the other room. I closed my eyes and threw my coat and shoes on, in a rush to get away.
“It’s good I’m fine, really,” I called.
“Leah, you are not fine. You’ve had a lot to drink, I will drive you.”
“I’m fine, I only drank one glass of wine. I will call you in two days with a delivery schedule. I’ll talk to you soon.”
I pulled the door open in a rush and ran from the front door to my car. It only took a matter of seconds to drive toward the long winding driveway. Just before my car started its descent down, I looked in my rear-view mirror to see Logan standing in the doorway watching me drive away.
TWENTY-FOUR
Leah
I drove all night to get to Jenna’s, debating the whole time whether I should come and see her or not. I could handle all this on my own, but I needed my best friend. I pulled in her driveway and shut the car off, it was only four in the morning and her house was still bathed in darkness. Did I go and knock or just sleep in my car? I thought on that for a minute and then I saw a light come on in the kitchen window and saw a messy haired Jenna in the window. Thank god.
I flicked the lights on my car to get her attention and she soon looked out the window. I got out of the car and held up my cell phone with the screen on waving it frantically, something we used to do as kids when we were trying to alert one another without our parents finding out. Suddenly the door opened, and she stepped out on the front porch. “Leah? What are you doing here?” she whispered waving for me to come to her. As soon as I got to her, I fell into her arms, tears falling from my eyes.
“I had to come, I needed to spend time with you. I don’t know what else to do.”
“About Logan?”
“Yes.”
I cried into her shoulder, I was utterly exhausted and all this with him wasn’t helping.
“Well, come on in, it’s freezing out here.” She let me go and pulled open the door ushering me inside. “You must be exhausted.”
“It was just a short six-hour drive, I left as soon as I got home.”
“Well, short drive or not, you need to sleep. I will get you a blanket and set you up in the guest room. Jim will be leaving soon, and I will call in to work with a family emergency.” Jenna, unlike me, worked on weekends.
I followed her to the spare room, careful not to make any noise and fell onto the couch pulling the pillow under my head. I was exhausted, my body ached. Jenna walked quietly into the room and draped a blanket over me and leaned down kissing me on the forehead then shut the door. I fell into a deep sleep.
By nine I was awake and sitting on the living room floor, cross legged, watchingEllenand delving into a container of Ben and Jerry’s Coffee Toffee Bar Ice Cream for breakfast. I shoved the sweet, ice-cold dessert in my mouth and closed my eyes savoring the flavor. It felt good to just relax. Jenna came in and sat across from me. “Okay, we are alone now. Spill it.”
“Seriously, Jenna, Mary is going to kill me if she finds out about that kiss.” I was crazy with nerves and I never should have made the drive to Jenna’s, but I needed my best friend. I shoved another mouthful of ice-cream in my mouth.
“Well, you can’t take it back now,” she said shoving a handful of M&M’s in her mouth.
“You’re not going to see him alone next time, right? You are taking someone with you?”
