ChapterFourteen
AUDREY
“Are you sure this looks okay?” I ask Lily.
Again.
“You look gorgeous, babe. Logan won’t know what hit him.”
I smooth my hand over the black sweater dress I’m wearing. With the knee-high heeled brown boots, it should be warm enough tonight. But the way these boots hug my legs? I’m hoping it’ll drive Logan wild.
Because no matter what I keep telling myself, tonight is a big deal.
It’s more than just a night out.
It’s a first date with Logan.
The only man I’ve ever truly loved. It would be nerve-racking for anyone.
Butterflies have been ever present in my stomach since Logan asked me out. Well, Peter. It felt like I was back in high school again being asked on a date for the first time.
Except there’s more pressure.
I want everything to be perfect. Right down to my outfit. Not that Logan would care if I show up in a potato sack.
“Okay, thanks, Lily.”
“And don’t forget the condoms!” she sings before ending the video call.
“Lily!”
Damn it.
The last thing I need is to be thinking about sex with Logan.
Sex was never the issue. Just thinking about it has me clenching my legs. He always had a healthy sex drive. What guy isn’t?
My pleasure was always his first concern. I’d never had that with any guy I’d been with. It was never boring. Logan loved coming up with new games to keep it spicy.
Something I never once minded.
Pushing thoughts of our sex life to the side, I spritz on perfume and give myself one final look in the mirror.
It’s still strange seeing my naturally blonde hair dyed almost black.
Never in a million years did I think I would be here, rehabbing my knee in a tiny town in Wyoming and seeing Logan again.
I crank up the music in the car, letting myself get lost in the music as I slowly drive the well-traveled road, familiar since I’ve been here so many times with Logan.
I need the time to settle my nerves before I get to Dixon.
My brain still hasn’t quite wrapped itself around being near him. I knew this was where he grew up. Hell, I visited here with him and met his family. I guess my brain was in survival mode when I was sent here.
Turning down the best people in the business would’ve been a mistake. A big one. With the games coming so soon, I have to make smart choices.
I only hope giving Logan Winchester a second chance is asmart choice.
The drive feels like it goes by quickly, and before I know it, I’m pulling into the parking lot behind the bar.
