Logan’s tear, and stare at his cards "She’s not like Danica"

"No? She’s female, isn’t she? That an"

He ignored Reese and clenched his cigar He would not get angry These were his friends, after all

"Well, if she’s just a fly-by-night, let an "Because I saw her ass in that little red dress and--"

His words cut off with a yelp as Logan jurab him

Chaos erupted The men jumped to their feet, and hands pried hily, pleased that he’d gotten a rise out of Logan Cade stepped between the a , remember? Do we need to take this outside?"

"I’ a step back The red was receding from his vision, but he was now more furious with hi Reese, and furious that he’d shown his thoughts as clear as day by juan’s shoulder "Coo walk for a bit" He looked back at the others "Play on Logan and I will be back shortly"

Logan had half a et away fro another furious look at Reese, he stor up the cellar stairs

He didn’t speak until he and Hunter were up on the roof of the bar Hunter pulled out a fresh cigar and offered it to Logan, who declined The scarred ar, and lit it as casually as if two of his friends hadn’t just gotten in a fight "So You do realize that Reese was just busting your balls?"

"I realize that now," Logan said with a snarl Fucking egomaniac

"I’ve never seen you this stressed over a woman Even Danica, and we both know she left herHunter knew him better than the others The quiet, scarred billionaire had been Logan’s closest friend in college Logan had led, and Hunter had followed They shared a tight bond And it was that friendship that kept Logan fro horee with Cade, for what it’s worth," Hunter said quietly "She doesn’t sound like Danica Griffin likes her Griffin doesn’t like anyone He says that Bront&euent and can hold a conversation How many of your superht her a necklace She didn’t want it"

This was how he’d see if Bront&euested a test, and Logan thought it was a brilliant plan He’d give her so that would be important to her, and watch her reaction

And maybe, just maybe, if Bront&eu her how he felt about her, too

Logan entered the apartment, pleased to find Brontë curled up on one of the couches, an open book spread across her breasts as she napped

She was beautiful Her long, chestnut hair was tousled around her face, her shtly parted in sleep She wore her favorite T-shirt and jeans: Audrey had complained to him that she couldn’t persuade Brontë to part with theht He liked seeing Brontë in jeans, he had to admit Her ass filled them out nicely, and the T-shirt showed off the rounded swells of her small breasts to perfection He pulled the book off her chest, and her eyes opened slowly
