“Why not?”
“Have you ever even had one?”
“Not really, no.”
Her eyes went wide.
“Don’t look so surprised. I’ve been honest with you.”
Jeni pursed her lips. “Well, I have, and it didn’t work out so well.”
“That doesn’t matter to me.”
Her tone softened. “You could have any woman you want.”
“As luck would have it, I want you.”
She shook her head. “I don’t think you do. I think we were good together and you’re confusing the desire to sleep together again with that for a relationship.”
“I don’t want to sleep with you again.”
Jeni laughed once. “You’re lying.”
“I know.” And how. “And old Logan would give in to that, hoping sex would eventually turn into something more. I don’t know why I haven’t seen it before, but now that I look back, it’s never worked out that way. So, I want to try something new, in the hopes the outcome is different.” It could be the way he’d always gone about things or it could be him, and he was hoping for the former. Especially now that he’d met Jeni. He raked a hand through his hair. “With you, I don’t want to sacrifice what I want most for what I want right now.”
Jeni processed that for a moment. She tilted her head to one side. “What does that mean? What do you want most?”
It was a good question. Logan’s thoughts felt a little cloudy, like he’d just woken up from a deep sleep and was trying to orient himself.
“I’m not sure I know.” A small frown formed between his brows. “I just have a feeling. And until I know for sure what it means, I’m not sleeping with you.” He walked around the table and sat beside her. He lifted one hand and brushed her hair away from her face.
Jeni jerked back, her expression shuttering. “Sorry, no deal. I thought we were set on being friends with benefits. If you’re throwing dating into it, I can’t agree to that.”
Logan lowered his hand. “Then I guess we’re at an impasse.”
She shot to her feet. “No, we’re not. I don’t accept that. Someone wins, and the other loses. I don’t do ties.”
He shrugged. “Go on a date with me then.”
“No. That means you win.”
“You didn’t specify who won, just that someone had to.”
She pressed a hand to her chest. “Obviously it has to be me. Now take me to your room, and let’s get started.”
“I’ll consider your proposition if you put on the Chiefs shirt.”
Jeni snorted. “Never.”
“Sex with me isn’t worth that? I’m a little offended.”
“If you knew me, you wouldn’t be.”
“Knowing you is exactly what I’m trying to do.”
She made some sort of noise in the back of her throat, and the memory of her moans of pleasure slammed into him. Maybe they could do it just one more time…
Her angry voice pulled him out of the haze of desire. “Fine. You want a competition? Sex versus dating? You’ve got yourself a competition.” She grabbed her phone and keys and stormed to the door. “Brace yourself, Logan Davis. You’re going down.”
