She takes a shuddering breath which weakens my self-control to breaking point.
When she lifts herself on her toes, I turn my face away, and our lips brush over each other’s cheeks instead of meeting.
“Once I kiss you I won’t be able to stop. I want our first time to be special, without worrying what Rhett’s reaction might be.”
She lowers herself and takes hold of my hand, pulling me to the bed. When I lie down I watch as her eyes drop to the hard-on tenting my boxers. I can’t hide my body’s reaction from her.
She follows me, crawling onto the bed and up my body. For the first time, I wonder if she’s had sex and the thought of another man taking her virginity burns a hole in my heart.
She presses a kiss to my abs, and I have to close my eyes, so I don’t flip her over and rip her underwear off. She keeps torturing me, kissing her way up my chest until she reaches my neck. She takes a deep breath as she lies down on top of me, bringing her hand to the side of my neck. I wrap my arms around her, enjoying the feel of finally being skin on skin with her.
Chapter 9

My life is a mess right now and lying here with Logan like this is the only thing I’m sure of.
If I weren’t so exhausted I would’ve tried harder to change his mind about kissing me. I understand that it’s important for him to talk to Rhett, and I certainly don’t want to be the reason they fight.
Besides, the anticipation between us is an amazing feeling.
I move until only half of my body is over his, and when I bring my leg up, my thigh brushes over the hard bulge in his boxers. His breath comes out in a rush and he tightens his arm around my waist.
I let my hand brush down his chest and over his abs, watching as his muscles clench at my touch. When I near his boxers he grabs my hand and brings it back to his chest.
Seducing him is quickly becoming addictive. I love seeing his reaction to me. It’s an indescribable high.
When you’ve wanted something for the better part of your life, and you finally get to have it … there’s no feeling like it in the world.
“Can I ask you something?” I whisper as I settle into his side for the night.
“Sure.” He lets my hand go, placing his arm under his head.
“When you taught me how to kiss and took me to the prom, did you do it because you were being nice to me, or because you wanted to?”
I lift my head, so I can see his reaction to my question. He turns his face to me, a sexy smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“Because I wanted to,” he answers without even thinking about it. “I kissed you because I couldn’t stand the thought of another guy taking your first kiss. I took you to the prom because I wanted to spend every possible moment with you.”
How can I not love him, when he always says exactly what I want to hear? It’s as if he can see right into my heart.
“When you left it felt like you forgot about me,” I admit to him.
“I could never forget you. It’s like forgetting to breathe, and that’s just not a possibility.”
I let out a happy sigh as I press a kiss over his heart before closing my eyes.
Falling asleep in his arms is everything … it’s heaven. It’s the first night I don’t have to fantasize about him, and I have to admit, there’s nothing like the real thing.

When I wake up, I’m alone in bed. I get up and slip my shorts and shirt on before going to the bathroom. I quickly do my thing, using my fingers to brush my hair and teeth.
I walk to the kitchen and my heart skips a beat at the delicious sight of Logan dressed for work. Man, he fills a suit like no other. But, as good as he looks in it I can’t wait to strip it off him.
I walk to where he’s busy making coffee, and by the time he notices me, I’m reaching for the two pieces of his tie hanging loosely around his neck.
“Morning,” I say as I quickly do his tie. I used to take advantage of any reason to touch him, and teaching him how to make his tie was only one of the thousand ways.
