I lean down.
We meet in the middle, letting our passion take over again.
CHAPTERSEVENTEEN
Lucy
Logan drives the car slowly through the city, seeming in no rush to get me home. Every time I look at him, I think about kissing him again, my body sore and buzzing from what we did.
My sex aches, yet I feel the urge for more, to indulge even more fiercely, to let myself go with even more primal passion.
He knows I’m a virgin. He never kissed or did anything intimate with Maxine Waterson oranyof the women.
He hasn’t had sex in over ten years.
He could be lying, a voice whispers.
But I know he’s not.
He swore on his daughter.
The only bad point is that I’ll always be living in the shadow of Rachael, Anna’s mother…but what the heck am I supposed to do about that?
It’s not his fault he once loved a woman.
And he doesn’t even know how I feel, not completely.
I was going to tell him when we were talking at the center, but the moment didn’t seem right. He was giving me too much hope, the revelation that he really cares about me. It hit me hard, right in my soul, core, and everything.
It hit me in a way I can’t even try to ignore.
But it still doesn’t mean he wants all the same stuff I do, at least not yet.
“We didn’t talk much about the job, did we?” he says, smirking as he switches lanes.
“No.” My smile comes instantly, feeling bright. “Mytheory is you lured me there just so you could have your wicked way with me.”
“My wicked way?” he chuckles. “But yeah, maybe there’s some truth in that. Last evening, when I was watching you walk into your apartment, I felt like an ass. You told me your friend was out, a clear signal….”
I laugh softly, waving a hand. “I was just talking.”
He glances at me. “Sure, let’s go with that. But either way, I regretted not going upstairs with you.”
“Why didn’t you?” I ask.
His hands tighten on the steering wheel, causing his bare forearms to bulge, the muscle twitching, looking like he’s going to bring the car to a screeching stop and pounce on me.
“I didn’t want to scare you.”
“Scare me?”
I care too passionatelyI imagine him saying.I loved you the moment I saw you. I thought it’d be too much for you to take.
“Like I said, it’s been a while…and I want you in a way I can’t really explain, Lucy. I was goddamnstarvingfor you yesterday. I knew if I went up there, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself.”
“From what?”
“From taking your young, perfect, curvy body. From taking it hard. From fucking you like I own you.”
