Her shoulders slumped. “I don’t know. How do you think he’ll take it?”
He groaned. “I hate to say this but not well.”
“Why not?” She twisted to the side to look at him.
Logan slid a finger lightly along the side of her face, pushing her hair behind her ear. “You know my, um, dating history.”
Jeni pushed her lips out in front of her face. “Would we call that dating?”
“My point exactly.” He cupped his hand around her neck, sliding his thumb back and forth along the sensitive skin there. “It’s different with you. You know that, right? And I’m not saying that because I think the relationships I had with women before you were bad or wrong. But I’ll be the first to admit that pretty early on into meeting those women, I knew it wouldn’t go anywhere, so I moved on. You’ve stuck in my brain from the beginning. Even when you tried to get rid of me, I still kept you with me. I’ve wanted you almost since the first moment I saw you and never stopped.”
“When you first saw me you’d just finished having sex with my neighbor.”
He grimaced. “I said almost.” A mischievous glint flickered in his eyes. “It was when you tried to steal my hummus that really sparked my interest.”
Jeni laughed. “I was hangry. And you stole my parking spot.”
“You keep saying that. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
She took a sip of beer. “Uh huh.”
Logan shook his head. “Anyway, I think I need to talk to Andrew and make sure he knows how serious I am about you. That you’re not just a passing fancy or a body in my bed.”
“I’m not even that, since you suddenly turned into a prude.”
“Man, when it comes to sex, you’re like a dog with a bone.”
She nearly choked on her beer, and Logan seemed to realize what he’d said and laughed.
“Okay, bad choice of words,” he said with a smile.
“If you’d just recently been introduced to how good sex can be, you’d think about it a lot too.”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t thinking about it. All the fucking time.”
“So, you’re ready to get out of here then? I’ll get the tab.” She scooted to the edge of the booth.
But Logan grabbed her hand. “To be clear, you’re thinking about sex with me, right? Not sex in general or with just anyone?”
The vulnerability and worry in his gaze surprised her. “Don’t be an idiot. It’s just you.”
“But will it always? Just be me?”
She situated herself back into the booth. “Logan…” She trailed off, not knowing how to respond and be honest at the same time.
The look in his eyes became pained, and she’d do almost anything to make it stop. He pressed his forehead against hers.
Even if it wasn’t exactly he wanted to hear, she said something true. “I can’t imagine ever wanting anyone else.”
“I think I’ll want you forever.”
“I can promise you I’ll want you tomorrow.” She’d want him for all the tomorrows, but there would come a day when he knew everything and he wouldn’t want her. It would only hurt worse if she let things go too far now, so she didn’t say it.
Logan closed his eyes. It hadn’t been the answer he was looking for. But he still pressed his lips to hers softly, and she gripped his arm tightly, not wanting to let go.
His eyes were sad and his jaw tight when he pulled back. “Just say that every day, and I’ll be okay.”
