And I’ll be left alone.
With a part of him inside me. Still feeling him.
Never the same.
Left to face the consequences.
“We didn’t use a condom.”
Logan flexes deep inside me with a grin. “I know. It felt incredible.”
I make a sound of disgust, and he grabs my chin, bringing my eyes to his. His eyes burn like green flames, his grin gone.
“You said ‘we’, but your tone implied you think I was the only one in this.” His pupils dilate with the anger in his clipped voice. Something about it re-ignites a spark of my own. I don’t know how to do anything with Logan other than fight.
It’s what we do.
“Well, I’m sorry for being upset about the fact that I’ve never had a man come inside me before. And yet, stupidity allowed me to lose all sense of reason, and I letyou, of all people, be the first. I’m on birth control, thank God. But do you even know if you’re clean?” I glare at him, appalled with my body as it flutters deep in my core when he shifts inside me.
“’Course I’m fucking clean. You think I’d touch you if I wasn’t? I’ve never not used one before… Jesus. I know you think I’m an asshole, Mads. You tell me often enough. But I’m not a sadist.”
My lips part before I snap them closed again, something twisted blossoming in my chest as he confirms I’m his first. A first for both of us.
“I’m surprised, that’s all.”
“Surprised?”
Hurt laces Logan’s voice. I can’t bring myself to meet his eyes, so I stare to the side as he withdraws out of me and fastens his pants.
“Well, I’m pretty sure I have your nail marks in my ass proving that you wanted it as much as me,” he hisses, dragging a hand down his face before turning away.
I bring my legs together, ignoring the throb between them and my torn panties hanging around my hips as I stand and smooth down my dress. My legs tremble.
Logan’s back tenses beneath his tuxedo jacket. I’m not being fair. I might be confused as hell over what happened. But I can’t blame him for all of it. I can’t imply for a second that he took something from me that I didn’t give freely.
We both must accept the gravity of what happened between us.
“You’re right,” I croak. “It’s my fault too. In fact, it’s all my fault. I should never have—”
“Don’t—” He inclines his chin over his shoulder but doesn’t look at me. “Just don’t.”
I step toward him, then think better of it. What can I say? I can’t undo what happened, even if we are both regretting it already. I don’t even understand it or where it came from.
But I can’t stand here and watch the waves of anger and regret roll from him in front of my eyes.
It’s too much.
“I…I’m going to bed.” I pause, but he doesn’t look at me. “Thank you for the opera.”
As I leave, he curses softly, barely loud enough for me to hear. My step falters, but I keep walking.
Chapter 15
Logan
It’searlywhenIwake. Although to say I slept much would be a lie. Maddy didn’t either. I heard her in the hallway during the night, outside my bedroom door. But when I opened it, she was already walking back into her own room down the hall.
I’ve fucked everything up.
