Page 114 of It Should Have Been You

“Because you’re turned on. I told you if you get hot and bothered to call me.”

Oh, he was serious about that.

“Beth?”

“Yes?”

He chuckles. “You’re not speaking.”

I pour myself another glass of wine. “Sorry, I just thought…”

“You thought what?”

“I thought you might have company.”

“I’m back at the loft. What kind of company did you think I had?”

I gulp a mouthful of wine. The situation calls for it. “A lady friend.”

Lady friend?

The wine obviously turns me into an eighty-year-old woman named Mabel.

“Have you seen me with any of these… lady friends?”

I search my mind. I haven’t. Not since I’ve moved here. I haven’t seen him with a woman.

“No, but you can’t honestly be saying you haven’t slept with anyone since I moved in?”

There’s silence for a minute. “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

I close my eyes as it all sinks in and feel myself tumble a little further into him. “Logan…”

“Tell me about these books.”

I’ve got a shit-eating grin on my face when I sit back and sip on my very delicious wine. “Next level. I think I have a praise kink.”

Shut up, Beth.

I swear I hear a groan on the other end.

Shocked with myself, my legs stiffen, and I shoot upright. Pulling the phone away from my ear, I curse into the air.

The call ends.

I want to die.

I’ve scared him off.

But my self-loathing doesn’t last long when the phone starts vibrating again. This time it’s a video call.

You’re killing me.

But I answer because I’m tipsy, and I’m desperate to see him.

That smug smirk is ready and waiting. My skin sets fire and he’s not even here.

“I wanted to see that beautiful face when you tell me all about theplotin these books.”
