High-Sided (Armed & Dangerous #3)(35)

He pressed his lips to mine, groaning as he pushed his tongue inside. Picking me up in his arms, he carried me down the hall to my room, gently laying me on the bed. My heart pounded so hard, I was sure he could hear it.

His fingers brushed the hem of my shirt and he slowly lifted it over my head, keeping his gaze on mine as he unclasped my bra. Gently, he cupped my breasts and kneaded them with his warm, strong hands. Bending down, he flicked his tongue over a pert nipple, sending a shot of electricity straight to my core. Lifting his shirt over his head, he then worked on lowering his shorts. I helped him out and ripped mine off as well. The sooner I felt him against me, and inside me, the better.

Covering me with his body, he kissed his way up to my lips. “I want to make love to you, Kassie.”

My heart pounded. He pressed against my opening, but I licked my hand and reached down, taking hold of his length, gliding up and down before he could enter me. My thumb rubbed over the tip and a bead of moisture spread across my finger. I loved how easily I turned him on.

“It feels so good when you touch me.” His head was down, watching me play with him. His beautiful ass flexed as he pushed into my hand. Having had enough, he placed his hand on mine and moved it above my head, clasping his fingers through mine. The other he used to position himself at my entrance, easing himself inside. Moaning, I gripped his hand and held it tight. With slow, gentle strokes he pushed in and pulled out, over and over. It wasn’t hard and fast, like when we’d had sex all those times before. He was truly making love to me.

When his lips found mine, I couldn’t keep my eyes from blurring. Logan saw the first drop fall and his brows furrowed. “What’s wrong, baby?” he asked gently.

I shook my head and squeezed his hand. “Nothing. Everything is right for once. Don’t stop.”

Picking up the pace, he held himself above me on his elbows and wiped away my tears. Lips trembling, more tears fell, but he kissed them away, licking them off his lips. My heart soared. He loved me. Bringing my knees up to give him a deeper angle, he lifted up and grabbed hold of my legs, pushing them to either side of me on the bed. From this position, both of us could watch him enter me as his thrusts got harder, sounds of our skin slapping filled the air.

When my orgasm hit, his grunts of satisfaction and completion only made it that much more enjoyable. It was the most passionate and fulfilling level of intimacy I’d ever experienced.

Logan lowered himself over me and brushed the hair from my face, as we laid there connected. His blue gaze bore into mine when he leaned down and placed his lips to mine. “I’m so in love with you it hurts.”

I laughed through my tears and held his face in my hands. “I know the feeling.”

Logan left early so he could run home and get ready for the day. By the time I got to the shop, he and Sean had already left for the track to practice. Since there wasn’t much to do, I decided to work on my budget plan for Bennett Racing’s expansion. We had the money to do it, but there was a lot of work that needed to be done. Plus, I had to run it by my dad and Sean.

“Knock, knock,” Angela called, opening the door. She was still sweaty from her afternoon run, but looked good in her black capris and tank top. The woman was sixty years old and in peak shape. My mother had been, until cancer got a grip on her.

I shut my notebook and smiled. “Hey.”

She walked in and reached for a stack of receipts to file away. “Maddie’s in town. I thought maybe we could have some girl time and get our nails done Saturday morning.”

I nodded. “Sure. I’m in desperate need of a pedicure.”

“It’s a date then.” Turning on her heel, she was about to leave, but then stopped and shut the door. She cleared her throat and faced me. “Richard told me about you and Logan.”

“Yeah, we’re back together,” I said, clearly confused with her tone.

“Are you sure that’s what you want? I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

I waved her off. “I won’t, I promise. Dad told you the story, right?”

She nodded. “He did, but I still can’t help but worry. And I know Sean’s not too happy about it.”

I hadn’t really spoken to him since I’d told him we were back together. “I know, but I’m hoping to change that,” I answered with a smile.

Her brows furrowed. “How?”

“I’m setting him up with a friend of mine. She’s an elementary school teacher. I think they’ll get along great.”

Releasing a heavy sigh, she tried her best to smile. “Let’s hope so. The last thing I want is for you and Sean to be on the outs, not when you’re about to take over the company.”

“We’ll be fine,” I assured her. Or at least I hoped we’d be. I’d find out soon enough. Once she left my office, I opened my notebook back up.

“Somebody sure is glowing this afternoon. Could it be that it’s almost time to get off work, or is it something else?”

Laughing, I looked up to find Madison standing in my doorway. “You’re here,” I exclaimed, running over to hug her.

She squeezed me tight and let go. “I couldn’t wait another day to see my little sister.” Stepping back, she inspected me. “You’re looking good. I take it you and Logan made up.”
