"I wasn't expecting to see you today," I stepped aside so he could come in. Instead of walking past me, though, he stopped right in front of me and invaded my space in the best way possible.
With that sinfully sexy smile planted on his lips and hair flopping over his forehead, he just stared at me. "Disappointed, Sugar?" He asked, the rasp of his voice gliding over my skin.
I couldn't lie even if I wanted to. "No," I said shaking my head. "Glad."
Those warm whiskey eyes burned a flame straight through my soul and I felt a few more walls crashing down. My lips started to tingle in anticipation of the kiss that I knew was coming. It never came.
With a chuckle Logan continued on into the house, leaving me to frown at his back. When I turned around after shutting the door, he dangled a key in front of me.
"What's that?"
"Your Nissan is fixed and she's running smoothly."
"Ah, I was beginning to enjoy driving your truck around town." I laughed as I pushed past him on my way to the kitchen while throwing a "Coffee?" over my shoulder.
"Sounds good."
I could feel his eyes on me as I went through the motions of preparing his drink, when I handed him the hot mug, he looked thoughtful for a second and then said, "You know, you can still drive it…the truck, I mean."
"It's a kind offer, Logan. But, now that my car is fixed there's no need."
More long, silent seconds. "Or we could drive to work together. It makes sense, doesn't it? Only a street separates the shop and the clinic and we're neighbors. So…" He shrugged his shoulders while eyeing me over the rim of his mug.
I didn't know what to say. That seemed like such a couple-thing to do, and I was pretty sure we weren't there yet. My heart pounded as I came to the realization that he was running while I was still crawling. I either had to tell him to slow down, or I had to pick up pace.
"I'll think about it." With that, I'd bought myself some time to figure out where I wanted to go from here. I knew that I couldn't afford to stay and give my boy the family he deserved but was it so wrong to want to have it—even just for a little while?
"Flynn's in bed already?" Logan's voice filtered through my thoughts. When I confirmed that my boy was fast asleep, disappointment was visible on his face. I was overcome with a strong need to kiss him just then, unfortunately, he wanted to use his mouth for talking.
"Did I interrupt something when I showed up so unannounced?"
I shook my head as we made our way back to the living room. "No, I was just going to read for a bit."
"Oh," His gaze swept across the furniture before landing on me, "You wanna make-out?"
I couldn't help the sudden fit of laughter that overtook me. I could honestly say that never in my life had a man said those words to me. When I realized I was the only one laughing, it hit me, "You're serious?"
Logan lifted his shoulder and eyebrows as if to say 'Why not?'to which I found myself saying, "You sound like a horny teenager."And I looked like one standing in front of a boy she liked, only just managing to contain her giggles.I had to bite my lip to stop myself from laughing again.
The same lips I'd wanted to kiss a few minutes ago curled into an unbelievably sexy grin. "Not gonna lie, Sugar, Iamone of those things." Logan took one step toward me, the heat in his eyes rooting me to the spot. "Every single time I have tasted your lips, I've done so without asking." His freaking smile broadened and he winked.He winked!"I thought I was being polite."
Without breaking eye contact he started moving again and didn't stop until we were standing toe to toe. He'd inserted himself so deep in my space that I could feel the heat radiating off his body.
Logan slipped his hands around my neck, his thumbs resting against my pulse-points, and dropped his head until our noses were almost touching. "Maybe you'd prefer it if I just kissed you silly?"
I had to swallow a couple of times before the lump in my throat went down. After running my tongue over my dry lips, I managed to squeak out, "I would actually." Placing my flattened palms against his chest, I pushed onto my toes and closed the little distance there was between us.
I heard him sigh and felt his breath before our mouths fused together. Back and forth, back and forth, he brushed his lips over mine. Being gentle, but yet, demanding more at the same time.
His tongue danced over the seam of my lips seeking entry which I eagerly granted. He tasted of coffee and broken dreams and something I haven't had in a very long time…hope.
I pushed everything out of my mind as I concentrated on the wonderful sensations running through my body while our tongues twined together. Sliding my hands up, I buried my fingers in his hair, holding his face to mine.
The groan that escaped him, rumbled throughmybody and settled between my thighs. Yeah, his kisses were that good, a few strokes of his tongue and need was pulsing its way through my body, setting it ablaze.
I had no recollection of us moving, but one moment I was standing and then I found myself flat on my back on my couch with Logan on top of me. His mouth never left mine but his hands wereeverywhere.Caressing my legs, gripping my thighs, fisting my hair.
I thought that I couldn't possibly experience any more sensations, but I found out just how wrong I was when Logan rolled his hips. Something between a sigh and gasp left my lips and when he did it again, I realized that it would just take a few of those precise movements and I'd be gone.
