Chapter Eighteen

Logan stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He didn’t know what just happened in there, but something passed between him and Jeni. His mother and her big mouth.

Eh, whatever. He would have told Jeni himself at some point.

All he knew was after tonight, he didn’t know how to stay away from her. After watching her kick ass on the softball field, happily eat his mother’s canned peas and crescent rolls from a cardboard tube while gushing over how delicious it was, and feeling whatever electric current transferred between their bodies just now—he was screwed.

Royally.

He turned the cold water on and splashed his face. Swiping the towel hanging on the wall, he dried his skin and put both hands on the counter.

The bathroom door opened, and Jeni burst in, closing the door behind her.

Logan straightened.

“Jeni? What are you—” His question was cut off as her hands gripped his shirt and she spun him around, his back hitting the door with a thud. His hands reached out for purchase, one landing on her upper arm while the other gripped her waist.

“Why do you have to be so wonderful?” she said, her tone accusatory.

“I’m not.” He flexed his fingers against her. It felt so good to touch her like this.

Her eyes were on his for a second before they dropped to his lips, and she kissed him. Hard, open-mouthed, and hot. The temperature in the tiny room shot up by ten degrees instantly, and Logan groaned as her tongue entered his mouth.

Desire filled him, and he spread his hands across her back, pulling her flush with his body. The door handle dug into his lower back, but he didn’t care. Her scent in his nostrils, her tongue in his mouth, her hands in his hair—all those things were worth it. One of her hands moved to wrap around the back of his neck, and she put pressure there.

“Jeni,” he laughed into her mouth. “I can’t get any closer.”

She lifted her eyes to his, and they were like gold fire. “Try.”

Logan took a sharp intake of air, and it still wasn’t enough. Heat engulfed him, and he couldn’t breathe.

He leaned over her and gripped her upper thighs in his palms, lifted her as he pivoted, and gently lowered her onto the counter. He slid one hand to the back of her ass, and the other moved up to slide through her hair and cup the back of her head. He held her head in place as he leaned over her, tugging her lower body toward his, pressing into her.

“Oh,” she whispered, her voice throaty and filled with wanting. He’d never heard anything so sexy in his entire life. Her legs came around his waist, wrapping around him like a vise. Her muscular thighs squeezed hard, and he loved it. He pulled her lower lip between his teeth, gently nipping at her. Each little noise she made was an aphrodisiac, lighting his ardor and spurring him on even more.

He didn’t know how to stop.

He didn’t want to stop.

Hell, he had to stop.

He tore his lips from hers, and she fisted her hand in his shirt, bringing him right back. He went willingly for several glorious minutes. At one point, she leaned her head back against the mirror, maybe to take a breather, and he followed her, helpless not to. She didn’t seem to mind, and her arms wound around his neck.

A knock sounded at the door. “Whenever you two are finished in there, pie’s ready.”

Logan lurched back, and Jeni’s hand flew up to cover her mouth. They stared at each other, wide-eyed and breathing hard, then burst out laughing.

“I feel like I’m sixteen and just got caught sneaking a girl through my window.”

“Holy hell, I’m mortified. I don’t know what came over me. I just…it’s like I lost my head for a minute.”

Logan brushed a few wisps of hair back from her forehead. “I hope you never find it again.”

She leaned into his palm then suddenly gasped and twisted around to look in the mirror. “Oh my gosh, I look like complete shit. I can’t believe I came in here and jumped you when I’m all dirty and have helmet hair.”

With his hands on her shoulders, Logan turned her to face him again. “You couldn't look like shit even if you rolled around in it. You’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen.”

He pressed his soft lips against hers, his heart pounding.
