Chapter 77

I tugged at his boxers. He pulled them off, freeing himself. I licked my lips with anticipation. He groaned at the sight and scooped an arm under me and shuffled me further up the bed. Capturing my lips in a heated kiss, his hand explored my side, over my thigh, and settled between my legs. His touch sent electricity through my body. He traced circles feeling how wet I was.

“So ready for me.” He hummed against my lips.

I smiled into the kiss. He entered me with a finger causing me to inhale sharply. He knew exactly what he was doing. He pulled out of me and back from the kiss just as he felt me beginning to tense. I was on the edge and the loss of contact felt like a punishment. I pouted at him.

“Not yet.” He smirked at me.

“Please,” I begged.

“I want to savor this moment.”

He watched me carefully as he positioned himself between my legs. I looked down to see how hard and ready he was. I reached down and stroked him gently. He hissed through his teeth at the contact. I smirked at him and continued to tease at his length. I pulled the contact away just as he was enjoying it the most.

“Point taken,” he hissed.

He moved into position and settled between my legs. His hand slid behind my thigh pulling it up higher. I felt him on my entrance ready. I smiled and locked his gaze onto mine as he entered me slowly. Once he was sure I was comfortable with him in me he began to move slowly.

“Is this alright?” He asked softly.

I hummed with acceptance and nodded, pulling him back into another kiss. My body was on fire in the most unexpected way. I could feel myself building already. The anticipation and build up had more of an effect on me than I thought. He could sense it and moved quicker inside me. He pulled back and looked at me watching my reactions carefully to his movements. I pulled him back into a kiss.

“Logan, I'm...” I whispered against his lips.

Before I could finish my sentence, my body was tense, and an overwhelming wave of pleasure hit me. I moaned into his mouth. My veins coursed with pleasure as I dived off the edge into bliss. He followed a few seconds later. He kissed me softly until our bodies untensed and uncurled and crawled into the bed next to me. He pulled the cover over us to keep us warm. I rolled into his arms and settled there hearing his heartbeat slow down over the next few minutes.

When we were ready, we climbed out of bed and redressed. We headed out to check out the rest of the penthouse. I loved looking out over the city, it reminded me of his apartment. He pulled me into his arms a few minutes later, breaking my train of thought.

“Penny for your thoughts?” He smiled.

I leant my head back against his chest and stayed silent, drinking in the feeling of being in his arms. He watched me in my reflection carefully studying my face. He kissed the top of my head and held me for a while longer. I felt him start to pull away when my hands grabbed his forearms and held him in place.

“You don’t regret what we just did, do you?” The uncertainty in his voice was clear.

“No, I promise you, that was exactly what I wanted and needed.”

“Talk to me.” He pleaded.

I took a deep breath, “I guess, I can’t help but wonder how different things would have been if I had chosen you.”

“I know what you mean.” His voice was filled with sadness.

I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around his waist.

“I always wonder what it would be like if I hadn’t walked away from you at the start.” He continued.

“You do?”

“Of course, but then I remember we would probably not be where we are now if that hadn’t happened.”

“I guess you’re right.” I found my mind wandering again.

He kissed the top of my head and pulled me tight.

“Leah, I want to ask you something, but I don’t want to scare you.”

I looked up at him intrigued, feeling my heart sink and nerves flooding me.

“Just know that no matter your answer, I am not going anywhere.”

“Just ask me, Logan.”

“I only want you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

My heart fluttered and the answer was out of my mouth without a second thought, “Yes.”

He lifted me and spun me in a circle before setting me down and capturing my face in a kiss. My mind quickly realised what had just happened. I didn’t care that it had been mere weeks since Brax. I loved this man and had loved him for so long. I didn’t want to waste time debating and doubting our future together anymore, I wanted to seize the opportunity and take the risk that I had been too scared to take before.

“What happens now though?” I asked.

“What do you mean?”

“We live hundreds of miles apart.”

His face crumpled a little as he reaslised the same thing.

“We do what we have done the last few weeks and figure the rest out as we go.”

Reluctantly I accepted his answer.
