“As soon as you finish brushing your teeth, can you explain what that’s supposed to mean?”
Not early in the morning and not without a bloody coffee. Fuck!“I will, I promise. But I’d prefer to explain it to you while looking at you. When do you finish the meeting? “
“Usually lasts an hour, we start in twenty minutes.”
“Perfect, then I'll put you on speakerphone while I take a shower and I'll explain a few things.”
“Why do you think hearing you in the shower I will be able to focus?”
“I hope so for you, then... I haven't told you the whole truth about my work but I would like you to see it with your own eyes later. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's just that I didn't know how to deal with this topic. “
“...okay.”
I stop the water and the scent of gardenia of the shower gel that I love envelops me. “Tell me what's going on in your mind now. Without filters, I like honesty.”
“Honesty, huh? Do I have to remind you that you haven't told me everything about your job?”
“I am sure and try to understand me, I didn't know you, and I thought you were a scam.”
“Hmmm, what made you change your mind?”
“The sensations that I have by talking to you. The butterflies in the stomach every time I hear the notification of the messages and seeing you last night, well, it's a mix of emotions put together.”I turn on the water and rinse quickly, then I get out of the shower and wrap the towel around me.“Logan, are you still there?”
“Yes, sorry I was imagining you in the shower.”
I burst out laughing and I take a picture and send it to him. I’m wrapped in a pink towel that covers me from my breasts to my knees, damp hair on the shoulders and a smile. Send.“There is no need to imagine, here I am.”
I hear him spitting something, I guess he was drinking and surely he wasn't expecting a picture of me like that. I smile.“Are you okay?”
“Oh, yes, you can bet, honey. I just want to be there and smell your perfume, the softness of your skin and the taste of your lips.”
“You are walking on dangerous ground, babe. But I won't deny that I would, too.”
I take the bathrobe and put it on and go down to the kitchen where there is already a coffee aroma. I inhale it enjoying the moment.“5 more months. They will fly.”
“And I can't wait to have you all for me, Kate. I have to go, I’ll text you as soon as I finish so we talk about it. Bye, baby.”
“Sure, see you later, bye.”
CHAPTER 6
he morning began in a slightly strange way, but since I was awake, I started getting ready. I have an hour to prepare a draft of a speech of what I am going to tell him.
Today I have to go in uniform, too, the videoconference makes me feel quite charged. After 45 minutes, I am in my office, sitting at my desk reading a few files.
“I'm done,”Logan's message gets my attention.
“Video?”I ask to be sure and he calls me after a few minutes. I transfer it directly to the mega screen on the wall in front of my desk and lean against the front of my desk.
“Here I am.”
“Here you are”he says.
I was trying to remember to breathe while I was holding his gaze when he scrutinizes me and the office carefully.
“Is that a uniform?”the amazement of his eyes and his voice make me tremble.
“Yes, it is a uniform. Yes, this is my office. Okay, I’ll start by introducing myself and then I will answer your questions. I'm Major Katherine Miller and I'm in charge of the Army's * COOLER * Team. We are a team of 4 that mostly carries out lightning missions in the event of rescues or extractions of NATO soldiers all over the world.”
