Chapter Five
LOGAN
It's been raining since we made it to Seattle. Thankfully, knowing this is how the weather can be most of the time, we drove here in Bella's car. After making our way through downtown Seattle, we pull up to my dad's building, and Bella peers up at it through her passenger window.
"Wow, and his place is at the very top? Can you imagine the view it's going to have?" She smiles as she continues to take in her surroundings. Unlike myself, Bella hasn't had much opportunity to travel. I've seen many places from the back of my bike, mostly due to all the runs the club has had over the years.
Knowing I get to give Bella many first experiences make me a damn happy man. Using my dad's access key, I pull into the basement garage and park. Eager, Bella quickly exits the car and waits for me. With a smile tugging at my lips, I climb out and walk to the trunk of the vehicle retrieving our bags. Yes, bags. We are only going to be out of town for two nights, and this woman has packed two suitcases with my clothes just taking up half of one.
Grabbing her hand in mine, I lead us towards the elevator. Once inside, I punch the penthouse button with my fingertip.
"I talked to Leyna last night," she tells me, breaking the silence. "You mind if we meet up with her later tonight for drinks?" she turns and looks up at me.
"We can do whatever you want, Angel. It's been a over a year since she left town, right?"
"Something like that. I'm excited," she bounces on her toes before pressing her body against mine as she reaches up for a kiss. Meeting her the rest of the way, I press my lips to hers. Before the kiss has a chance to go any further, the elevator dings and the door slides open revealing a massive foyer.
"Wow," Bella whispers.
It's drastically different than what we are used to. Hell, it screams money and power. I usually don't give much thought to the fact my dad has money. I usually don't even give thought to the fact he runs a massive empire either. Sitting the bags down, we walk into the main open room. Even with the gloomy, grey skies outside, the natural light fills the room. Floor to ceiling windows damn near covers the entire space. The furnishings are very modern. Much different than his estate in Montana which is more of a rustic, down to earth feel much like mine and Bella's home.
"Look at the view," Bella gasps in awe as she continues moving forward. "I can't believe we get to stay here for the weekend."
Standing back, I take her in.
"What do you feel like doing before meeting up with Gabriel's sister?" I walk up behind her and ask. Brushing her hair off her shoulder, I graze my lips across her neck causing her to shiver. I can think of many things to occupy our time, and each one involves us not leaving the building until it's time to go home.
"I'm a little hungry. Maybe some lunch…" tilting her head to the side, she pauses and closes her eyes while I continue to kiss her, "and shopping?" she breathes.
Chuckling, I wrap my arms around her and rest my chin on top of her head, "I love you."
"I love you too," she returns.
A few hours later -just as the sun starts to set- we make it back to the penthouse. I placed all the shopping bags in my hands onto the bed in the master bedroom. While Bella announces she is going to get ready, I take the time to explore the place a little further by walking over to the patio doors leading from the bedroom out to the balcony. The sliding doors alone are massive. Remembering the instructions my dad gave me, I find the remote for them sitting on a shelf close by. After pressing the button, the glass doors slide open without a sound. I step out into the crisp night air. Shit, this place has everything. An outdoor living room complete with a fire pit. I continue to explore when I happen upon an alcove. Tucked away in this secluded space is a high-end hot tub. A deviant smile tugs at my lip as dirty delicious thoughts run through my mind.
"Baby? Where did you go?" I hear Bella call out.
Turning on my heels, I head back to the room. "I was checking out the…" my words fall short when Bella comes into full view. I'm speechless looking at the outfit she has on. Bella doesn't show a whole lot of skin, not like this. I feel my heart rate pick up and my cock strain against the zipper of my jeans.Holy fuck she is hot. My woman is standing in front of me wearing a black dress that hugs her curves in all the right places. From her ribcage down to the hem of the dress, which by the way stops a hairline beneath her little round ass, are cutouts exposing her tanned skin on one side and her unfinished tattoo on the other.
"Turn around," I command her.
With a glint in her eyes she slowly spins until her back is facing me. I groan. I can't help myself. The back of the dress dips low, right to the small of her back and with her hair swept to one side shows off her wing tattoo. Fuck. I'm going to be walking around with a raging hard on all night.
Bella looks at me over her shoulder. Catching my heated stare, she smiles.
"You like it? It's my first time in an upscale nightclub. For once dressing up means more than a sundress and a pair of boots." she declares.
"How much time do we have before we have to leave?" I ask her.
Peering at the clock, which is sitting on the nightstand next to the bed, she tells me, "About thirty-five minutes. We don't have far to go, the club is a couple of blocks from here. Why?"
I reach out my hand, and she gracefully walks to me on the three-inch heels she is wearing. "I want to show you the view outside." The sun has just disappeared, and the sky has become painted in deep purple and blue hues. I lead her to the railing and watch her face light up as she takes in the city skyline as it starts to illuminate the night with its lights.
"Logan," she gasps, "It's breathtaking."
"It is," I agree, not taking my eyes off her. Stepping behind her, I trace my finger across the tattoo at the base of her neck. Knowing how adventurous Bella can be when it comes to sex, I decide to push her limits a little more. Slowly, I tug at the tie around her neck and let my warm breath dance across her ear.
Grabbing hold of the railing with both her hands she answers me with a whisper, "Yes."
