He burst out laughing.“It would be worth seeing that but I don’t think he would. Kate, that guy is crazy about you. He asked me for the blessing to ask you to marry him when the time comes. It literally caught me off guard. He knows what he wants. And he wants you. It’s better to do it while you’re here, bring it up when you’re face to face with him.”
“He did what?”I'm shocked.“Okay, you’re right and don’t smile like an idiot, I'll tell him about it tonight.”
“Little sis, you don't know anything!!! Don't get me in trouble with him.”
“I promise.”I cross my heart. “I'm going to work a little bit. After, we go training. “
CHAPTER 14
he next hour was very fruitful. The report drawn up by the boys is a masterpiece, I just had to do it in duplicate and have it signed by everyone. And I organized our return home for tomorrow evening, hoping to be able to spend as much time as possible with Logan.
I also called Alec, who was happy to see me standing and operational as always.
I go out of the building with Max and the boys. I changed my pants to leggings as they are more comfortable for the activity I want to do and then, we will be alone in that area of the base. At least that's what I thought.
We begin to run to warm up and then move on to the various steps and variations of exercise.
We are used to pushing ourselves beyond the limits and we are often so focused that we lose the notion of time.
The evening was falling and we were sweaty but not too tired. We also had an audience and none of us had noticed. When I order to stop, the boys bend over breathing. I walk towards our building while I hear Max complaining“but how in the hell do you have much resistance that you don't even have to catch your breath?”
“It's because of age, Max, you’re too old!”I burst out laughing.“This is just the beginning, get used to it.”
As I work my way through some guys at the base, I hear some comments. But it is one in particular who takes courage and speaks to me. “Can I offer you some water?”he gives me abottle “and maybe invite you to have a coffee?” I turn to look at him amused. “No, thanks.”I keep walking while I hear him say “was it a no for water or coffee?” causing a chuckle from his companions. I stop and go toward, I am slightly irritated. But I don't have time to open my mouth when I hear
“Give it up, Peterson, that’s my woman you’re speaking to!”
“Excuse me, Sir, I didn't know that”he puts himself at attention. “Ma’am,”he nods and walks away.
He puts his arm around my neck and draws me to him to kiss me. My brother whistles from behind as if we were at the stadium. “Hi, there,” I whisper against his lips.
“Welcome back. When did you come back?” I ask smiling.”Don't mind him, it's just the abstinence,” I say pointing to my brother.
He laughs. “Half an hour ago.” I pretend to sulk. “Love, I had to wash, it's been a long day.”
“I guess, are you busy now?” I ask hugging him.
“Yes... I have to stay with you,” he kisses my forehead.
“Well, because we have to talk. But I have to wash first.”
“Let's go then,” he takes my hand and drags me to my building.
We enter my room and I go to turn on the computer and then I start undressing. Logan closes the door and leans against it, looking at me.
“You know you can come in.” I tell him while I take out a pair of lace panties and a maxi white t-shirt from the suitcase. I take it all and go to the bathroom, looking over my shoulder “if you want to join me...”
And he doesn't need to be told twice. He gets to the bathroom before I even turn on the water.
“I missed you and the scent of your shower gel made me think of you constantly,” he picks me up and we go into the shower. We kiss, hug and wash discovering our most sensitive points. We decide to leave the shower only because the water starts to cool down.
I dry myself and get dressed. He pulls up his boxers which cover him flawlessly. I go to the computer and open the email from the real estate agent with photos of the manor.
I am a little nervous and he senses it and makes me sit on his legs. “Babe, what happened?” he asks looking me in the eye. Damn those eyes. They’re hypnotical.
“Stop being so perfect. I can't focus,” I kiss his nose and take the courage to opening the photo.
“You know I wanted to move to the United States. I've been thinking about it for a long time but I never found anything that interested me. This was one of the places where I went to take refuge when I was on leave, just me and Max, too sometimes. I'm in love with this place. And I found out that the owners want to sell it.”I let him digest the news and scroll through some photos and focus on the photo of the entire property seen from above.
