He glanced down at his watch "Three hours, depending on traffic, of course If you need anything, dial nine on the phone That’ll forward your call toyou need"

"Gotcha"

"What do you want for dinner? I’ll make reservations"

She had no clue Brontë had never been to New York City in her life, so she had no idea as in the area "You pick"

He nodded and then glanced at his watch one ain, watching her

"I’ll be fine," she assured hi his jacket "Seriously It’ll probably take ure out hoork the remote on your TV Or discover where the TV is You’ll be back before I know it"

"If you need anything, call," he said, then leaned in for a kiss "Or if you’re thinking ofto be able to takefor an that she’d never be tired of His lips ht and sweet His tongue brushed over the sea entrance, and she opened for him He swept into her mouth with a possessiveness that made her knees weak, and when they finally broke the kiss, she was dazed, and bitterly regretting that he had a ave her one last kiss "I’ll be back soon"

When he let go of her, she staggered, her legs wobbly "I’ll be here" She gave hihed and stared around her like she’d been dropped on another planet

But since she was alone, she decided to explore and count rooarass on it overlooking the city, a hted and wondering what kinds of books a billionaire would have Of course, she was disappointed to find that the too-unifor more than false fronts Either he’d had a decorator just fill in the rooan didn’t read at all

The bathrooh The master bathroo to try out, and a glass-walled shower It was also lined s, and overlooked a distant Central Park She wanted to see the park, but not today

After wandering around Logan’s ridiculous apartment, she was a little bored She would’ve liked to sit out on the patio for a tiood book, but there weren’t any in the apartan had a desk and a laptop set up in the corner, and she was tempted to play around with it, but she avoided it Computers were personal Instead, she sat in one of the enorure out which of the six remotes on a nearby table turned the TV on

When she gave up on that, she returned to the master bedrooan’s shoes tucked under one side of the bed Either Logan was a very neat person or he had a maid come in and clean house She suspected the latter Unable to resist being nosy, she opened his closet and exaers hung before her, each one with a more impressive label than the last Armani Versace, Domenico Vacca, and others she’d never heard of but was pretty sure were equally pricey

Yeah His socks probably cost more than her entire wardrobe A little disturbed by that, she took off her shoes and lay on the bed It see to touch at the moment

She woke up later to find that the sun had set and Logan was lying on the bed next to her He’d pulled her close and spooned her body, still dressed in his suit Bront&eu close

"Tired?" he asked in a low voice

"More like bored," she told him with a yawn "Did you know that you have six remotes? And none of them turn on the TV?"

"It’s voice-activated," he told her with a chuckle "I can show you how to use it"

"I’m afraid to touch it Actually, I’ in here"

"Why?"

"It’s expensive All of it"

He snorted "My home is your home while you’re here"

But that was just it This wasn’t her ho comfy easy chair with duct tape over a cushion rip and ed on one side, so she slept on the other Her hos and mis broke, it didn’tfor fear that ato touch the great Logan Hawkings’s expensive furnishings

He began to kiss her neck, nibbling on her skin "Do you not want to be here?"

She sighed, his touch sending feelings skittering through her andher nipples hard "No, I want to be here I think I’d just feel better if this didn’t look like a "

Logan chuckled, the sound muffled by her hair "I have you"
