LOGIN(Loganâs POV)Her laugh is low, breathy, and so damn wrecked it curls in my chest like a satisfied monster.We donât move for a long minute. Her headâs buried against my neck, her pulse thumping like a hummingbird. My cockâs still inside her, softening, but the weight of us is too real to shake off.Then she shifts. Just a little. A sharp inhale and a hiss.âJesus,â she mutters, âmy thighs are trembling.ââGood,â I say, brushing damp hair from her cheek. âThey should be.âShe glares up at me â weak, flushed, furious. âYouâre proud of yourself, arenât you?âI smirk. âFucking ecstatic.âShe pushes at my chest, but her arms are noodles and we both know it. I roll off her, dragging her with me, keeping her wrapped up and bare and ruined against my chest. Her skin is flushed, glowing. Her lips, bitten red. My marks are everywhere, and yeah â I feel a possessive growl stir again.âStop looking at me like that,â she says, not even opening her eyes.âLike what?ââLike youâre about to pounce
(Loganâs POV)Sheâs limp under me, trembling, still dripping around my cock. Her hair is a mess, lipstick smeared across her cheek. Iâm still hard, still inside her, still tasting her moans on my tongue.I pull out slow, just to hear the wet sound it makes. Her whimper shoots straight to my spine.âDonât look at me like youâre done,â I mutter, running a thumb over her swollen lower lip. âI told you I wasnât finished.ââLoganâŠâ she breathes, voice wrecked.âWhat?â I lean in close, licking the corner of her mouth. âThink that little orgasm means you get a break? Cute.âBefore she can answer, I scoop her up off the couch. Her gasp punches the air. Sheâs light in my arms, but her curves press against me, warm and soft.âYouâre insane,â she whispers against my neck.âYeah,â I say, biting her earlobe. âInsane for you. Now shut up and hold on.âI carry her down the hallway, cock still hanging heavy, bouncing against her thigh. Every step I take she shivers, rubbing against me. I slam my bed
(Loganâs POV)The words still hang between us, hot and heavy, when I pin her with my stare. She flinches, not from fear but because her body knows what mine is about to do.She thinks sheâs safe in that robe, thinks a smirk and a smart mouth can keep me at bay. Sheâs wrong.I stalk forward, slow, deliberate, until her back hits the couch. Sheâs breathing hard already, chest rising fast, robe slipping loose.âLoganâââShut up,â I growl, my hand catching her jaw, tilting her face up to mine. âYou had two nights to breathe without me, two nights to convince yourself you donât want this. And look at you nowâshaking, dripping, staring at me like youâd spread your thighs just to get my cock back inside you.âHer lips part, no denial on them. Just that ragged, broken exhale.I press my mouth to hers, not soft, not coaxingâtaking. Tongue shoving past her teeth, hand gripping her throat just enough to make her gasp. Her body arches, traitor to every word she wants to say.When I tear my mouth
(Loganâs POV)She can yell. She can snap. But sheâs not asking me to leave.Sheâs arguing like she already knows Iâm staying.And thatâthatâs the first win of the day. ***I don't see her again for hours.She disappears to her office like itâs a fucking bunker, probably hoping Iâll vanish if she works long enough. Spoiler alert: I donât.By the time she comes back I'm in the living room, the sunâs low, casting honeyed shadows across her white furniture. She looks tiredâeyes soft, posture loose, tension dripping from her shoulders. She probably expected to find the house quiet.She probably forgot who the fuck I am.Because there I am, stretched across her couch in nothing but low-slung sweatpants, one arm thrown over the back, remote in hand, fully relaxedâlike I own every square inch of this place.âYouâre still here?â she says, blinking like Iâm a hallucination.I smirk. âYou say that like Iâm not the best thing thatâs ever happened to your living
(Loganâs POV)I knock once. No answer. I knock again, louder. Still nothing.I try the handleâitâs unlocked. Of course it is. She forgets shit like that when sheâs distracted, and after the week sheâs had? Distracted is an understatement.I step inside, dropping my bag by the door with a heavy thud. The house smells like herâlavender and some rich vanilla thing that always gets under my skin. And there she is, standing halfway down the stairs, arms crossed over her chest like a barrier she wants me to break.âI told you to leave this morning,â she says. Flat. Cold. Lying through her pretty little teeth.I smirk, shrugging off my leather jacket and tossing it carelessly onto her pristine white couch. âYeah, and I heard you. Loud and clear.ââThen why are you here?â Her brows pull together, lips tight.I glance around the space like I live here. âBecause, sweetheart, your security systemâs about as useful as a cardboard door. Eight men broke into your house last night or did you already
(Loganâs POV)By the time I got home, my hands still stank of blood and smoke. I don't shower. Didnât pour whiskey. Didnât even sit. I just dropped onto the leather couch, closed my eyes, and let sleep hit me like a hammer.When I wake, itâs daylight. The house is silent, sterile. No echo of screams here. Just the steady tick of the clock and the empty space beside me where I wish she was.But she isnât. Sheâs in that mansion, probably pacing, probably asking questions I havenât answered.I drag myself up, shower fast, throw on a black shirt, and drive. By the time Iâm pulling into her long, polished driveway, I feel the tight coil in my chest againâthe one that only eases when I see her.Her butler opens the door, stiff as always, and I step into her perfect little palace. Ariaâs house feels too pristine when I step inside. She must have called authorities to clean the bodies. Smart woman. Sheâs waiting, curled on the couch, legs tucked under her, robe wrapped around her small fram
