“Are you going to go see him?” Logan asked.

“I want to, but at the same time, I don’t want to go by myself.” I could admit I was a coward.

“We’ll go with you,” Hana interjected, clapping her hands together like the time we went on a trip to Cabo with our friends during senior year. It had been a cluster fuck of massive proportions, but we spent a ton of time together. Something my parents had always wanted. Oh, the irony.

“Hold on, my little Hana. I can’t just go gallivanting off when I have a company to run.” Logan said gently. I could tell he was trying to protect our feelings.

“Oh,” Hana’s voice was glum.Me too, baby girl. Me too.

“I have to go, so I’m going to have to shut down the shop again. At this rate, my employees are going to quit.” I thought out loud about the issues leaving would have on my business.

“What if you two went and I stayed here to run both of our businesses,” Logan offered. “Your manager knows me. I can check your books and make sure you’re still afloat while you deal with the family side of things.”

My heart swelled in my chest. This. This was what I hoped we’d be. A unit. A team. It hadn’t felt like this before. We never came together so cohesively. The change has me feeling things I hadn’t felt in a long time.

It’s one thing to know that you love someone, but it’s quite another when they show you they love you too. Most people would think that Logan was doing this to help a buddy out. But I knew Logan. I could see from his eyes what this meant, him sending me and Hana off alone, and what it was costing him. He wanted us to grow as a unit as well. That meant giving Hana the room to breathe and support me as my woman too.

“I don’t know about you two, but I feel a change in the air.” Hana sang the words off key.

I wanted to say something, but my eyes locked with Logan and the words clumped in my throat. I wanted more. I wanted to trust him. All these negative thoughts and feelings would tamper off if I only opened myself to him. I’d taken his power, but it was high time I gave it back.

“I never told anyone this, but the boy I had my first sexual encounter with didn’t stop when I begged him to. He…he raped me. And then my parents threw me out of the house after they barged in on him assaulting me, all because I was honest about my sexuality.”

The mood was ruined, but I wanted them to see me. All of me.

“What? Why had you never told me?” Hana asked.

“Honestly? It never came up. I didn’t want you to look at me differently either. It was my cross to bear, but it got lonely holding it in all the time.”

“Is that why you—”

“Yes.” I cut her off. “That event changed who I was or who I could’ve been. I didn’t really trust men after that. Always thinking they wanted more from me, and for the most part I was right. But Logan, you changed that.”

I walked to him and sank onto my knees. This was where I wanted to be. I wanted to be his. I wanted him to have everything that I could offer a man. Without judgement. I wanted him to top me. Something I hadn’t let a man do since my assault.

“Are you certain?” Logan asked me.

I nodded, gulping down my fear.

He looked at Hana. “Go to my apartment and grab everything we’ll need from the bedside table.”

“I’ll be right back.” Hana hopped off the bed and skipped out the door. I hadn’t realized taking the next step with Logan would make her so happy. Logan barely waited for her to clear the doorway before he started barking orders.

“Strip,” Logan demanded.

In my eagerness, I almost fell over in my rush to take off all my clothes.

Logan had fire in his eyes. The way they raked over my naked body sent shivers up my spine. “Take off my clothes too.”

I didn’t say anything. I just peeled his clothes off slowly, caressing his muscles as I went. By the time I was through, he was hard and throbbing in my face.

Hana walked back in without her clothes on and a large box in her hands. “Oh, good. You didn’t start without me.”

She was like a kid in a candy store as she licked her lips and stared at the two of us. She had no shame on her face. She devoured us with her eyes. I wished I could devour her body.

“Before we start, I’m going to try something new as well. I want you to fuck Hana with your mouth and tongue while I prepare you to take me,” Logan commanded.

It felt like my birthday and Christmas all wrapped in one. Logan was being generous and trying to include me. I wanted to come right there on the spot.
