The really expensive kind "They’re just sheets" I don’t want to talk about thread counts or anything else I just want hihs, and I intercept it "I can do that"
He holds tightly to it for a second "I like taking care of you," he says
My face flushes with heat "Giveyou around, will you?" This is all new to me, this level of intimacy I’ve never experienced it before
His eyes narrow "You had better get used to it quick" He pats his tatted chest "Because what you see is what you get"
He’s so much more than what people see I just wish he knew it as well as I do
Logan lies down and pullshis shirt and nothing else, and he’s nad He’s tense beneath me, and his belly flinches when I lay my hand upon it The sheet twitches I look down at where the covers drape the lower half of his body I can’t help it I lift it up and peek underneath The crown of his dick arches toward o to sleep?" I ask
He shakes his head and rolls me over He’s inside me before I can blink, and I’ve never felt , jolting an is sound asleep, one of his legs tossed over htly that I have to untangle his lian lifts his head, his eyebrows drawing together
"Miss Madison?" a voice says
"Yes?" I sit up onmy hair back from my face
"Miss Madison, it’s Henry"
I wipe the sleep from my eyes "Man’s lips nuzzle ht you’d want to know that your parents just arrived They’re on their way up"
Logan
Emily jumps to her knees and scrambles bare-assed across the bed God, she’s pretty, even with her hair looking like she’s been tumbled in a dryer and the crease of the sheets across her cheek I shake outon it Pins and needles reach fron when I can feel ns back
She slams the phone down and runs to her closet
Shit Her parents are here? This is not how I anticipatedGet dressed
She runs out into the living roo the frolare
I ju my clothes on I’ve been in some funny situations before, but this one is the most worrisome This wasn’t hoanted tolike sohter I pull uess I’ll have to make the best of it
I jump into s out of her hair I get dressed all the way down to my shoes because I want to have shoes on to , but I don’t have time to look for it I follow her and squirt soer so I can "brush" rins at me over her toothbrush
I spit and rinse my mouth out, and she does the same She darts pasther back to ainst my lips
Behave yourself, she scolds
She puts on a pot of coffee, and I stand there with a cup under the spout instead of the pot, and I replace it with the empty pot and rush to the kitchen table as soon as it’s full I open her newspaper and turn quickly to the word search I fill it up ords that willon it for quite some time
My pencil is poised over the newspaper when her parents walk in the door
Did they even knock? I sign to Emily
She shakes her head and winces Thank God Henry called
Her father raises his eyebrow as soon as he sees me at the table Then his eyes narrow, and he stares at o all the way up my neck and down to my wrists I never want to hide them, and in truth, his perusal makes me want to pulltells me he won’t be ian" Shewhile she talks, and I kind of wish she’d stop
Her ushes "We’ve heard so ht that Eed for ed for her "It’s wonderful to meet you," I say as I stick out my hand
She bypasses it and wraps her aro for a moment Then she steps back, her hands still on my upper arms She squeezes "Goodness, you’re a solid lu She winks at me "I can see why Emily is so enamored"
Heat creeps up my face
Emily’s dad shoves his hands into his pockets and rocks back on his heels He nods at runts I wouldn’t know if any sound came out of his mouth, but I can tell he just made a noise One that would dismiss me if I could hear it
I stick ly, he reaches for rip I force rip in warning Instead, I take it I let him be in control because he’s her father for fuck’s sake I don’t like it, but I take it
"Logan came to have breakfast with us," Emily rushes to say She puts her hands on top of ours and pries her father’s fingers back He lets her I shake the pain out of my hand when he releases it
He takes in the crease still etched on her cheek and her lack of makeup "I’s of pastries, bagels, and assorted other breakfast foods on the table E up on her toes as she does She’s padding around in socks, and I can’t help but re I walk into the living roo out of one of the couch cushions I pocket it quickly, shoving it in the pocket of rins atare you?"
Not on your life "No, Mrs Madison," I say "I was just looking for so"
She narrows her eyes "Did you find it?" She’s asking h into my closed fist to clear my throat, which suddenly has a lump in it I don’t knohy "Yes, ma’am"
