I stifle a laugh. “I’m glad you think so. We’ve been best friends for a long time.”
Another pause. “I’m worried about you. If it’s true what they’re saying about these gunmen?—”
“I’m in the best hands, Lu, you know that. There couldn’t be anywhere safer on the planet.” I look up and Logan is staring at me. Shit. I don’t know how long he’s been standing there, or how much he heard. “Uh, I’ve gotta go.”
“Oh, duty calls?” she snickers.
“Something like that. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
“Stay safe.”
“I will, bye.”
“Bye.”
We hang up.
I wave the phone like I’ve been caught with my hand in the cookie jar. “That was Luna.”
One eyebrow raises. “I’m aware.”
I hand him back the phone. “How much of that did you hear?”
I think I’m falling for him.
He thumbs behind him. “Let’s go.”
He takes my hand and I slide off the table.
“You didn’t answer my question, Logie Bear.”
He glances down at me, and his lips twitch in that sexy way of his. Oh, he heard, and now he’s smug about it. “Logie Bear?”
“I know, it really suits you.”
He slings an arm around my shoulders as we head to our cabin. “I’m gonna show you how much of a Logie Bear I am with my cock down that pretty little throat.”
“And here I was thinking you weren’t a romantic.”
“How little you know about me.”
I look up at him as our eyes connect. “I want to know more about you.”
He swallows. “I’m not perfect, Payd. I don’t know how to communicate well, or so I’ve been told.”
“By an ex?”
He nods. “I just… it’s never been my thing, but with you… it feels different.”
My stomach flutters. “It does,” I agree.
He plants a kiss on my forehead. “I’m tryin’.”
“I see that. I appreciate it, but I know so little about you.”
“What do you want to know?”
I snuggle into his side as we walk. “You mean I can ask you anything?”
