“Dani, Dani, Dani. The thought of role play never even entered my mind. That was all you, and I love it.”
It’s so obvious that he’s lying, but I let it slide as we make our way to the aisle, my nerves almost forgotten. As long as I never mention it again, I’ll hopefully be safe.
When we make it outside, passing underneath the fairy lights that surround the old building, Logan pulls me to a stop and spins me until my back hits the wall.
“Thank you,” he says, causing my brows to furrow in confusion.
“What for this time?”
Logan’s lips pull into a smirk before morphing to a genuine smile. “For being you, for being perfect, for beinghere.”
My breath hitches and I want to answer, but my mind takes a moment to reform after turning to mush.
“Logan…”
“You don’t have to say anything, just nod.”
I nod, even though I don’t think that’s what he meant.
He lightly chuckles and the sound snaps me out of my daze, until he says, “Good girl,” sending me spiraling again.Good girl.
“I’m going to kiss you now, okay?”
I nod again, and he smiles before leaning in frustratingly slowly and touching his lips to mine.
My mind flashes back to the way he kissed me in the art studio yesterday, taking my mouth as he slowly moved inside me. And a thought hits me. That wasn’t sex. It was so much more than that. I tried to ignore the emotion pouring out of Logan, but now that I’m thinking about it, I’m wondering why.Why the hell am I keeping him at arm's length?Last night aside, tonight has definitely felt like a date. Despite my objections, he’s been attentive, affectionate, and the way he looks at me…God, my insides melt.
Lettingmy feelings take over, I grip Logan’s tee and pull him against me as I rise to my toes to deepen the kiss. Finally getting my chance, I run my hands up his neck and into his hair, taking in the feel of the clipped edges. The soft touch.
Logan groans when I pull on the strands, and rocks his body into me, mumbling something about never wanting to stop, making me do just that.
“You like me, don’t you?” I ask stupidly, my body warming with embarrassment as I struggle to catch my breath.
Pressing his body against mine, Logan slides his hands into my hair and smiles. “I really fucking do.”
His lips meet mine again, and he kisses me like he’s trying to show me exactly what he feels. His lips slowly caress mine, exploring, gently sucking every inch. Like he’s committing it to memory. At least, that’s what I’m doing.
When he pulls back after another minute, a tingle still lingers. I have to fight to stop myself from lifting my fingers to my mouth, not wanting him to know how much he’s affecting me.
“This is something, Dani. I know you’re nervous. I know you think a certain way about me. But let me tell you right now. All of this is real. I’ve just been waiting for you to catch up.”
My heart stops as his words hit me. The sincerity in his eyes is impossible to deny. He really fucking likes me.
“I think I just arrived. Better late than never.”
We kiss again before Logan walks me to my car and tucks me inside, stepping back to bid me goodnight. “I’ll see you soon, Dani. Drive safe.”
He doesn’t move from that spot until I’m driving away, my mind still with him there in the parking lot. Along with my heart.
I’m not sure how I didn’t see any of this coming. But now that it’s here, I’m looking forward to finding out what it all means.
Chapter Thirty
Logan
“Betterlatethannever.”
No words have ever been more true. I wanted to believe Dani felt the same as I did, but until those words left her mouth, I’d never been sure. But now, I know… She feels our connection. And she’s right there with me.
