High-Sided (Armed & Dangerous #3)(50)

Janie ran off to join Sean, while I waited for Logan. Cameras flashed all around him as he came to a stop in front of them. A young male reporter interviewed him and all I could do was sit back and smile. He clearly had missed this part of his life. Yeah, he was happy about being in the FBI, but this was a passion as well.

Once the reporter was done, Logan rode over to me and grabbed me around the waist. I squealed and held onto him. “What are you doing? We’re probably on camera right now.”

He kissed me hard. “Who cares? Let the world see. I feel so damn good right now.”

I kissed him again. “Then I suggest we celebrate.”





“What time do you want to head back tomorrow?” Logan asked.

I finished applying my lipstick and stared at his reflection in the mirror, not being able to contain my smile. If I had my way, we’d be staying in the hotel room, making love all night. With him winning the race, it was good for him to make an appearance. Donnie wanted to buy us a round of drinks at the bar, and we couldn’t say no.

“Mid-morning?” I replied. “That way, we get home at a decent time. Maybe we can hit some hiking trails on the way.”

He winked. “Sounds good.”

It was about a seven-hour drive back home, but mostly everyone decided to stay the night at the hotel. My father, however, had left, as he wanted to get back to Angela, who’d been stuck at home, recovering from a nasty flu.

Logan sauntered up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, his hungered gaze focused on mine as he stared at me in the mirror. “You look sexy as hell in that dress.” He kissed my neck and bit my bare shoulder. My whole body tightened.

“Then why don’t we stay in here?” I pouted. I didn’t want to see Sean after what happened earlier.

Sliding his fingers up my dress, he fondled my clit. “We won’t be down there long. Believe me, I don’t want to waste any time.”

I bit my lip. “No, you don’t. I have a victory surprise for you.” Grabbing his hand, I guided his fingers inside me, keeping my gaze on his.

He groaned and closed his eyes. “You’re so f*cking wet. Why did you have to do this to me now?”

“Because I want you to know what’s waiting for you.”

Opening his eyes, he slowly slid his fingers out and brought them to his mouth, moaning low as he sucked them off. “Let’s get this over with.”

The hotel bar was slammed when we walked off the elevator. Donnie was there, dressed in a suit, sitting with Janie and Sean, while the rest of the room was filled with fans and riders from the other teams.

Janie stood and waved me over. She and Sean were both dressed for a night out on the town. Her in a tight, red dress and him in a collared shirt and dress pants. Logan walked straight over, while I was the hesitant one. Sean stared at me, and there was no smile on his face. Logan would no doubt feel the tension between us.

“Hey, girl,” Janie called out.

“Hey,” I said, giving her a hug.

Donnie held out his arms and I hugged him as he kissed my forehead. He smelled like cologne and peppermint from the mints he always carried around. “Lookin’ beautiful, peanut. I hear your dad went back home.”

Sighing, I sat down beside Logan. “Yeah, he wanted to get back for Angela. But I guess she’s feeling better.”

“That’s good to hear,” he said, then turned to Logan. “How about I get us that round of drinks? It’s celebration time.” He flagged down a waiter and we ordered our drinks. When it was time for Sean to order, he shook his head and the waiter waltzed off.

“You too good for us?” Donnie teased.

Sean tapped on his watch. “Actually, Janie and I need to get going. We have reservations at eight.” He stood abruptly, and held out his hand for Janie.

She grabbed his hand. “I guess we’ll see you at the party on Monday?” She looked to me and shrugged. “We can make it a pre-birthday celebration as well.”

I nodded. “I’ll be there.”

“That’s right, your birthday is next week, isn’t it?” Logan chimed in with a sly smile on his face. In another few days, I was going to be twenty-seven.

I winked and grinned at Janie. “You guys be careful going home.”

Sean said goodbye to Donnie and gave an obligatory nod to me and Logan. He was hurt and angry; I didn’t blame him. Once they were gone, I could see that Logan knew something was going on. I would have some explaining to do once we were alone.

“How does it feel to win again?” Donnie asked Logan.

Logan placed his hand on my thigh. “Pretty damn good. I look forward to more of it.” The waiter brought our drinks and I gulped down a good portion of my wine. I needed it after the day I’d had.

Donnie held his bourbon in the air. “I’m sure you’ll have plenty more where that came from.” Logan held up his gin and tonic and they tapped glasses. If he solved the case soon, he wouldn’t be in anymore races. The FBI was sure to need him back.

Donnie and Logan talked for a few more minutes, while I finished up my wine. I couldn’t wait to get back up to our room. Thankfully, Logan was as impatient as I was. He held out his hand to Donnie. “Mr. Baker, if you don’t mind, I think Kassie and I are gonna head back up to our room. I’m a little exhausted.”
