“You can.”
“I won’t.”
“You know you want to.”
“Damn straight I do.”
She ducked underneath where he hunched over, and he jerked his head back as she straightened. She now stood before him, wearing hardly anything, with his hands on either side of her head, braced against the door.
Logan focused on taking deep, measured breaths. In through your nose, out through your mouth. His eyes dropped to her breasts. A strangled noise escaped his throat. His blood was racing through his veins, his heart pounding harder than he thought possible. Not to mention the rest of his body.
He forced his eyes to her face and frowned. Something was different.
“Where are your glasses?”
She shrugged. “I thought it would be sexier if I wasn’t wearing them.”
Logan latched onto the change in subject like a drowning man to a lifeline. Glasses. Glasses. Think about glasses. “That’s ridiculous. I love them.”
“Really?” She dipped her head and slid out of his near embrace. He immediately wished he hadn’t watched her go because she bent over to slide a hand into the coat pocket, giving him a glorious view of her scantily clad buttocks and muscled thighs. She straightened and faced him again with one hand on her hip, glasses back in place.
“Holy hell, woman. Are you trying to kill me?”
“No. I’m trying to seduce you.”
Logan rubbed the heel of his hand against his forehead. He’d never wanted a woman so much in his life.
Why was he doing this to himself, again?
Because you want more than just her body, and if you give in now, that might be all you’ll ever get. He had to repeat that to himself a few times because his brain wasn’t doing much thinking just now.
He sighed deeply and took two steps forward, kneeling down to gather her coat.
Jeni pursed her lips and glared at him as he slung it over her shoulders. “I never took you for a prude, Logan.”
“It’s a first. Trust me.”
She huffed out a breath. “I knew I should have just been naked under here.”
Logan’s eyes nearly rolled back into his head. He cleared his throat, holding the coat together at her stomach. “Jeni. Stop this.”
“You first.”
He shook his head. “I want to be with you, Jeni. I want to spend time with you and get to know you. I’m determined to go about it differently this time. No matter how badly I want to carry you to my bed right now.” And just because he’d never want her to feel unattractive or rejected, he added, “And I want that pretty damn bad.”
Jeni slipped her arms through the sleeves, a win for his sanity. She lifted her chin. “I hate you.”
“No, you don’t.”
“No, I don’t.”
He raked a hand through his hair. “Want to stay and hang out for a bit? You came all the way here.”
Her fingers paused in the process of pushing a button through. “It’s late.”
“Were you planning on sleeping when you came over?”
She smirked. “No.”
