Logan forced himself not to smile as he ate.Ellie wasn’t afraid to take him on.He made her nervous, especially when he was standing over her, but most women would be.Still, she held her ground, and he admired her for it.
They needed to discuss their relationship, both in and out of the club.“Don’t you need to go to work today?”he asked.
“I’m fine.I don’t have any appointments, and my landline is forwarded to my cell.”The washer buzzer went off.Ellie jumped up and disappeared, then returned.“I put the clothes in the dryer.”
He nodded and continued eating, while in his head he sought a way for Ellie to take the week off and spend it with him.Would she do that?He wasn’t sure.It would be great if they could spend more time together.
He realized how comfortable he was with Ellie around.The only people he’d ever cooked for were his mother, brother, and sister.
Ellie fit in his domain.She wasn’t telling him how he could change things, making the room more feminine or anything like that.The hadn’t know each other that long, but they worked together quite well, and that wasn’t something he was ready to give up on.He hoped he was enhancing her life as well.
Logan polished off his food and waited for Ellie to finish.When she was done, he took their plates to the sink and made quick work of cleaning everything up.The dryer stopped, and Ellie stood.
“Time to get dressed.”
“I like you in my robe.”She looked adorable in his black robe, and he wanted to see her in it more often.
She ducked her head.“Thanks.Be right back.”
God, he loved it when she blushed like that.He’d spend his life making sure she knew how sexy and beautiful she was.
While she was gone, he pulled a couple of steaks out of the freezer and set them out to defrost, then went to the pantry.He had a couple of potatoes, and if he remembered correctly, he had some veggies in the fridge.
Grilled steaks and veggie stuffed potatoes would make a good dinner.Dessert?He rubbed his chin and checked his pantry shelves.Not much.He wasn’t a big baker, but he found a pre-made graham cracker pie crust, and a couple boxes of chocolate pudding.He set them on the counter.
Back at the freezer, he grabbed a tub of whipped topping and then opened the fridge.Yep, he had milk.That would make a great chocolate cream pie.Dinner and desert taken care of.Lunch could be left over salad and pizza from last night.
Ellie strolled back into the room.Her expression was closed down, and he was pretty sure that wasn’t a good thing.What had she been thinking while she got dressed?“I should get home.”
“Why?”He walked over to her and took her hand in his.“Spend the day with me.”
“Shouldn’t you rest?”
“I can rest with you here.Besides, this would be a good time for us to talk about our relationship.”
“I really would like to run home, shower, and change at least.”
He couldn’t argue with her on that.“I’ll drive you.”
“My car is here.I can drive myself.”
“Yes, you can, but I want to drive you.Will you let me take care of you, like you took care of me last night?”
“I really didn’t do anything.”
“You greeted Max when he arrived with your car and food.Gave me food, then cleaned up after dinner.And you snuggled with me as we watched TV.You were here if I needed you, and I liked it.”
“I liked it too,” she said softly.
“Please.”
“All right you can come with me, but I’m driving.”
He was happy she’d allowed him to do this, but still confused as hell about her change in attitude.“Let me grab a shirt and shoes, then we can go.”
She nodded.“My shoes are by the front door.”
Logan ran to his bedroom.He grabbed a polo shirt and pulled it over his head, slipped on a pair of socks then grabbed his loafers.Probably took him less than five minutes before he joined Ellie at the front door.She was toying with the zipper on her purse.
