“No. Hell no.” Emma shook her head. “But I need you to stop saying shit like you did before. We have two more days together. It’s just...”

“Just what?” Logan asked.

“Different than one night.” She glanced away.

Logan let out a sigh and brushed her hair out of her face. “I know. The lines are blurred.”

Her eyes lifted to his.

“Yes. It feels like a forbidden secret relationship. Plus, extremely hot sex.”

And, of course, Logan’s mouth stretched into a huge smile.

Emma patted his chest. “Okay, big guy, take me home.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Logan scooped her up into his arms.

Wow, she clearlyhadhit a nerve. Now he was back to his charming self.

Whatever that woman had done to Logan, she sure had done a number. Emma was becoming more and more curious.

But reminded herself it was none of her business.

“Jesus, one compliment and you turn into every woman’s wet dream.” She laughed.

“Keep them coming, darling. You are on a roll.” Logan plodded along the beach. Then he halted. “Shit, I have to make sure the bonfire is out and cleared away.”

He dropped her to her feet and gave her a wink.

“Who are you?” she laughed.

Logan blinked at her, and a hint of seriousness crossed his features. “Honestly, someone happier than I was just a week ago.”

A warm shiver spread through her as Logan dealt with the remnants of their fire.

How could someone she didn’t want feel like someone she was suddenly very much needing?

Emma swallowed and glanced out across the dark water.

He’s not your type.

Remember that.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER, Emma had showered off all the sand—solo—and slid into bed. That damn Chanel bag was sitting on the desk in the corner.

There hadn’t been an appropriate time to ask Harper about it with everyone around, but Emma had hung the dress up, planning to return it.

But the bag haunted her.

Turning off the light, Emma rolled onto her side and tucked her hands under her head, thoughts of the evening playing out like a movie in her mind.

She was drifting off when a large body climbed in behind her.

“I think I might need to take a raincheck,” Emma said softly. “Sated and sore.”

Logan settled in, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his body. One hand cupped her breast.
