“Yes, ma’am,” Logan said and rolled the condom over his length. She must have voiced one of her thoughts aloud, she realized, as he lowered himself over her.
Sam wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling him closer. His gaze met and held hers as she felt the tip of his erection begin to glide up and down her wet slit. He slid inside her, only allowing the first few inches to enter and she moaned, pressing her hips up. She wanted more. She wanted all of him.
“Slowly,” he said, pulling out before easing back in again. “Samantha,” he said on a pained groan, “you feel so incredible. So damn amazing.”
“More,” was all she could whimper in response.
He obliged, pressing his full length into her in a long, languid motion that seemed to curl her toes and set her on fire. She moved her hips in small circles as he set a pace entirely too slow and tortuous for her. Where on earth did he get the kind of control he seemed to have?
“Faster, Logan. Please.”
“Can’t,” he ground out between jaws clenched tight with fierce concentration.
“Yes, you can,” she whispered as her tongue teased the lobe of his ear. She followed that with a small nip and he went wild, just as she’d hoped.
He bit out a curse, wrapping one arm around her waist as he slammed into her, setting a pace that made Sam see stars. Her body clenched around him and another orgasm built, more slowly this time, but with no less intensity.
As he let out a guttural cry and came inside her, Samantha felt her own orgasm wash over her, snapping all control. She bit down on his shoulder, sinking her teeth much harder than she’d intended into the taut muscle, but that only seemed to make him wilder. When the last of the searing pleasure drained, Logan was there, holding her.
He turned them so they lay on the bed together, his hands still running over her sensitized skin.
“Incredible, Sam,” he whispered, his eyes still on her. “You’re incredible.”
Sam closed her eyes and let his words wash over her. She had never felt so treasured with any other man. The care he took with her, the way he made sure she orgasmed before he did, all of it made her feel special.
Logan might think his time in the military had damaged him in some way, but she knew otherwise. She knew he was stronger than he could see right now.
He’d realize it eventually, but until then, she’d hold him up just like he held her up. She’d help him to see how incredible he was, just as he helped her to see how beautiful she was. They made each other whole in that way.
His words continued in soft, sweet whispers as she drifted off to sleep, and slept dreamlessly for the first time since the attack. A small part of her felt the way his arms held her tightly the entire night. The way he kissed her temple when she stirred and whispered in her ear until she fell back to sleep. The way he didn’t leave her side until she woke with the first rays of the rising sun, and he made love to her again.
Chapter 23
Ernie’s car was the only one that turned right at the end of the road that led out of Sam’s town house complex. Logan and Sam were in another car and Zach and Chad in a third. Both cars turned left to head toward One Church Plaza, where Sutton Capital’s office was located.
Billy stretched across the back seat of Logan’s car, head lolling off the edge of the seat as he napped.
“That’s seriously the calmest dog I’ve ever seen,” Sam said. “Do you think Ernie doped him up with something just to convince you he was a super cool, superhero dog? Maybe when whatever it is wears off, he’ll be bouncing off the walls and needing a ten-hour jog everyday just to maintain him.”
Logan laughed. “Jogging wouldn’t be the end of the world.”
Sam scowled at him. “Crazy man.”
She reached for the radio and turned it on, fiddling until she found a station she wanted.
“Really?” Logan asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
“Yeah. What’s wrong with Garth?”
Logan grinned. “Not a damn thing, lady. Not a damn thing,” Logan said as Garth Brooks belted out the chorus of “The Thunder Rolls” as they pulled into the parking garage.
Logan realized as they parked and he checked their surroundings that he hadn’t been quite as on edge for the trip to work as he normally was in a car.
He’d been aware of everything going on around them, of course, but that seemed less an edgy response to grating nerves and more due to the actual threat against Sam than anything. Maybe it had helped that Chad and Zach had been in the car behind them.
When he was satisfied no one had followed them and no one lay in wait for them, he opened his door and rounded the car to get Sam. Chad and Zach joined them and they entered the building as a unit, Billy taking up his position at Logan’s side.
Logan almost laughed when he thought of the small bag of dog food and blanket he had stowed in the backpack on his shoulder. He’d packed a freaking lunch and bed for his damned dog. What the hell was happening to him?
