Chapter 99

“Logan,” I gasped, “are you asking me to move in with you?”

“Yes, but not straight away, unless you want to. I am fully aware you have a lot going on right now and that maybe looking at the viewings as a potential future option for you might help you in some ways.”

“You really have thought this all through, haven’t you?"

“Maybe, a little too much? I will stop.”

I placed my hand onto his thigh and gave it a gentle squeeze, “Don't ever stop thinking about our future together.”

The rest of the car ride was filled with talking and me singing. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely at ease and relaxed. I was carefree. He laughed and smiled, stealing looks as he drove. I found myself dancing in my seat to songs with a good beat and singing along.

Once we were at the hotel, Logan grabbed my bags along with his from the back of the car. A concierge took them from us and followed us inside. Once again, he had booked a fancy, top-tier hotel for us. We were given our room key, and our bags were sent up. We headed into the city for interview clothes a few hours later. It didn’t take long for me to buy something I was happy with.

Logan had booked a table at the hotel restaurant for later that night. Once we had finished our meal it was straight to the room for an early night. It had been so long since I had shared a bed with him, I found myself pausing at the end of the bed. He slipped his hands around my waist from behind.

“Penny for your thoughts?” He whispered against the skin on my neck.

A jolt of excitement flowed through me, “This will be the first night we have been in the same bed since...”

His hand moved to my hips and spun me around to face him. “I didn’t even think about that. I’m happy to change rooms to single beds if that’s what you want.”

I reached up and stroked his cheek. “No, I want to be with you. It’s just a lot that hit me, that’s all.”

He nuzzled my nose, “We’ll take it one step at a time and at your pace.”

I smiled and reached my hand around the back of his neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss. He greeted the contact with a groan and deepened the kiss. I climbed into bed, and he followed. I snuggled into his side as he wrapped an arm around me. His other hand settled onto mine that was across his chest. It was a perfect end.

The following morning, I was up at the crack of dawn filled with nerves for the interview. I decided to dress and head out for a walk. I found myself wandering down the streets letting the cool morning air wake me fully. I walked a few blocks before returning back to the hotel to find Logan just waking up as I returned to the room. He could tell I was a bundle of nerves and wordlessly got ready for us to head out.
