Logan is standing there, snow sticking to his coat.
“What are you doing here?”
“Mind letting me in? It’s cold as balls out here.”
“How can balls be cold?” I ask, opening the door so he can come inside.
“That’s what you’re asking me?” He pulls the beanie off his head. His brown hair is a mess, but his eyes are lit up with excitement.
“Sorry. Why are you here?”
“Let me drive you.”
“What?” He’s stunned me speechless.
“To Denver.”
“But why?”
“Because I need to get back for my physical with the team.”
“You’re doing it?” I ask.
Every time I asked Logan more about when he would meet with the team, he got defensive and never really answered.
“No time like the present.” His smile is wide as he drops down onto the loveseat.
“And you want to come with me?” I sit down next to him, tucking my legs under me. Almost like a shield against Logan and the power he wields over me.
“I know you were planning to fly out in the morning to get there early, but it’s not that far of a drive. Why not have some company?” He shrugs a shoulder like it’s no big deal.
“And your family is okay with you leaving so suddenly?”
He waves me off. “They’ll be fine.”
“Logan, this is big.”
“No it’s not,” he’s quick to remind me. “Just any other physical I might have to take for the team.”
There’s hardly any room between us, but I close the distance, clasping my hand over his.
“It’s okay if you’re scared.”
“I’m fine.”
Men. Never want to deal with their emotions.
“When do you have to be back?” I ignore the elephant in the room of his looming physical with the team.
“Friday. Do you want the company or not?” He looks sheepish. Logan flips his hand, now holding on to mine.
Damn it. Whenever Logan would give me a look like that, it was hard to say no to whatever came next.
I should hate the hold he still has over me. But who am I kidding? I’ve always been a sucker for this man.
Always will be.
“Okay.”
