She put her hands on her hips and glared at him.“Keep talking like that, and I’ll feed you liver.”
He grimaced.“Sorry, my brain doesn’t work well when I’m hungry.”
Ellie laughed and sauntered into the kitchen, knowing she’d made the right decision.Logan was good for her.
Chapter Thirteen
Ellie rubbed her back as she straightened from packing up all the Halloween decorations, in her shop, for the party this Saturday at Wicked Sanctuary.She grinned as she remembered Max’s disgruntled look when Sierra informed him that they were taking over the club Saturday morning to transform it without him there to oversee.
Max obviously hadn’t liked the idea, but Sierra had a way of making him agree.Ellie’s vendors were lined up to bring the equipment they needed, with non-disclosure agreements in place.It was something Max insisted on, and Ellie understood.
Ellie plopped into her office chair and glanced at her computer calendar.She’d cleared it for this week.What parties there were, her people would take care of them.For the next few days, all her focus was on the club and Logan.
The past few weeks with Logan had cemented her decision to keep him in her life.While they played in the club on Friday and Saturday nights, during the week, they had dinner and spent their nights together.Not every night, but several nights, especially Friday night and Saturdays.
The bell over the door jangled, and Ellie walked out of her office and into the main room.
“Ladies.”The whole sub group from the club walked into her shop looking decidedly worried.
“We have a problem,” Sierra said.
“Oh no.What’s the issue?Did Max veto something?”Ellie hoped not.This was going to be an epic Halloween party.
“He wouldn’t dare,” Crystal said.
“Nothing like that.”Sierra waved her hands to encompass the group.“We need costumes.”
“Oh.How could I forget.”Ellie grabbed her cell.“I made notes on costumes and sizes that night when we discussed it in the club.But totally forgot to order them.”She glanced over her notes.It was so unlike her to forget things, but with everything with Logan, that part slipped her mind.“What about the dress code?”Some of the ideas were unusual, well maybe not, considering this group.
“It’s a little more relaxed when we have private parties,” Tessa said.
“Okay.Give me a minute to make a phone call.”This close to Halloween, there was only one person who could get things done for her.

“What do you think those women are up to?”Max asked Logan a few days later.
“You’re asking me?”Logan sat back in his chair, holding a mug of coffee.He’d met Max and some of the other Doms at Sweet & Savory this morning.
“Didn’t Ellie say anything?”Jordan asked.
“Not a word.She’s been pretty close-mouthed about the party tonight.”Logan couldn’t believe how fast the past few weeks had gone.Hell, he could hardly believe how great they’d been.He’d spent a lot of time with Ellie.
He’d been able to change his shifts to a straight day shift.It took him a week to get used to the routine, but he was happier and so was Ellie.Their club and home play had advanced as well.
“Tessa won’t say anything, either, only that we’re in for a surprise,” Damon said.
“At least Ralph is there while they set up,” Max muttered.“I hate surprises.”
“You’ll like this one,” Lara commented as she refilled their coffee cups.
“What do you know?”Max stared at Lara.
Lara shook her head and walked away.
“She’s catering the party tonight, isn’t she?”Logan asked.
“Yes.Colby is going to help her, but he told me that they wouldn’t get there until about six-thirty, so he has no idea either,” Max said.
