Logan notices my unease and pulls me close in a protective way that makes my heart swell. Despite his stoic nature, he can tell that something is wrong. "Are you alright?" he whispers, his breath warm against my ear.I nod my head because words are caught in my throat. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the man who just entered.His gaze locks onto mine like he's not expecting to see me here. Of course, I didn’t think I’d meet him here.His eyes have always been my weak point. When I stare into them, I am always lost in those eyes.They held so many secrets. I remember how my heart pounded loudly in my chest with just a look from him.He’d been my crush for what felt like forever until he finally asked me out.But like every fairy tale, I foolishly clung to him, thinking he felt the same way about me.Even now, thinking about my time with him makes my stomach twist in disgust.It later dawned on me that I was just a pawn in his game, foolishly in love with someone who never cared.As D
The kiss is slow and sensual. I can tell whose lips are on mine as sparks erupt all around me, my body aching more for his touch. The feelings I had for him during our first night are still etched in my mind, and it's so damn hard to shake them off, no matter how I try.I know I shouldn't encourage this, so I slowly open my eyes. I'm not mistaken. It's Logan. My hand presses against his chest. My hands are weak because of how he makes me feel, but I try, gently pushing him away.“What’s wrong with you?” I whisper, but you can tell my voice is sharp, trying to hide how shaken I am by the inflow of emotions.His eyes are dark and filled with lust as they roam my body in a way that makes me shudder under his gaze. I can tell that he knows the effect he has on me.“This can’t happen.” Clutching my towel tightly, I back away, putting distance between us.I take a deep breath, fighting the pull that wants to drag me back to him. No matter how strong the attraction, I can't afford to lose c
The air in the room feels heavy with tension as I take my seat between Daniel and Lily. Daniel’s intense gaze follows my every move, while opposite me, Logan's eyes are fixated on me with a silent intensity. Around the table, they discuss lively, but I can’t shake the feeling of being out of place. I notice that Logan isn’t contributing much to the conversation; his answers are monotone. It’s evident that they all share a close bond that I only admire from the sidelines.“Nadine, I hope you’re enjoying your meal,” Florence says, her face lighting up with genuine happiness that I’m in Logan’s life.“Yes, ma,” I reply, bringing the glass of orange drink to my lips and taking a sip, trying to focus on the food in front of me as a distraction from the tension swirling around the table. Lily’s voice pulls me back to the present moment. “You know, Nadine, I was wondering how you and Logan met. I’m so glad love has finally found him.”Summoning every ounce of courage I can muster, I fix my
I turn to see Logan looking at me, his eyes filled with love and pride. A smile graces his lips as he mouths something I can't hear over the noise around us.Daniel notices where I’m looking, and his expression darkens. If looks could kill, Daniel would be six feet under. But Logan's gaze is like a thunderbolt, causing Daniel to stagger and almost lose his footing.With menacing steps, Logan closes the distance between them, tension crackling in the air as they lock eyes. It feels like they're on the brink of a confrontation, each daring the other to make a move.Feeling shaky and unsure, I summon every ounce of courage and move closer to Logan. As I draw nearer, Logan notices my shaken state. "Are you alright?" he asks softly. I nod, grateful for his presence.Meanwhile, the tension between Logan and Daniel reaches its peak, each refusing to back down from the silent standoff.Logan's voice cuts through the tension like a knife, dripping with warning and authority. "Stay away from
I woke up the next day, disoriented, not sure how I ended up in my room. Memories of last night’s dinner with Logan flood my mind, and I recall lying down on the couch. But I was alone in the house with him, which means Logan must have carried me to my room!A smile broadly knowing, I must have been a deep sleeper! Beneath his tough exterior, Logan has a kind heart. Just then, a soft knock on the door breaks the silence, and Logan enters, his presence filling the room.“Good morning, Nadine. Did you sleep well?” he asked in a deep husky voice that made my core clench. Damn, these hormones.“Good morning, Logan. Thanks, I did,” I reply, intentionally leaving out any details about our previous night’s interactions. I take a moment to gaze at him, my mind racing. How can someone be so sinfully hot? Logan seems like a species that needs to be studied, I silently muse, feeling his magnetic presence.Yet, I’m determined to uphold my part of the bargain: not falling in love. There’s always
Forcing a smile, I try to suppress the anger and the tightening in my chest, emotions brewing hot. I turn around. "Hey, Jake?"Jake stands frozen, his eyes darting between me and Logan. Trying to piece together the dots between me and Logan and I can feel that Logan's jaw is clenched tightly you can see that he is trying to contain his anger based on the ugly history"Nadine, so you’re my..." Jake begins, but before he can finish, Logan steps closer, his hand resting possessively on the small of my back."She is my wife," Logan says with a sharp voice leaving no room for further questions.Jake stumbles back, least expecting as he looks at me and Logan in shock "What do you mean, 'my wife'?""You want me to say it again?" Logan's voice drips with anger. "Nadine and I are married. The earlier you get that into your head the better for you."Jake laughs. "Nadine, this must be a joke. You're married to Logan?""Do I need to spell it out for you?" I snap, raising my hand to show him the r
The news anchor's voice pierced the air, revealing an affair between Nathalie and billionaire Elliot Jones. I was stunned, wondering how this private matter had become public. Nathalie had indeed been infatuated with Elliot, fantasizing about uncovering the secrets behind his mysterious eyes. And that was long before her marriage to Jake, my ex-fiance. But seeing them entwined in bed, splashed across the news outlets, left me speechless.As I sat frozen, I sensed a presence behind me. Logan stood there, his eyes fixed on the screen.This had his fingerprints all over it - he had promised to exact revenge on Nathalie and Jake, but I never imagined he'd go this far, exposing it to the world."You did this, didn't you?" I accused, turning to face Logan. His eyes had turned cold and calculating. "Isn't this what you wanted - revenge for all she did to you?" he asked, his voice devoid of emotion.I gulped, unsure how to respond. The television continued to blare the news, and I turned b
"I'm a ruthless billionaire, and I have enemies," he says, with a cold voice devoid of any regret. "Anyone associated with me is in danger. That’s why I can’t risk losing you, my dear wife."His words leave me dazed, struggling to process. As he walks out the door, my mind races back to the mysterious call that woke me earlier this morning. It made me question my safety.A sudden urge to check my phone hits. I rush to my room, my heart pounding. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand, my hands shake as I unlock it. I scroll through my call log, searching for the 4 a.m. caller. But it’s a private number.My heart tightens in my chest as I think about what I have gotten myself into getting involved with a man like Logan. The thought sends a chill down my spine.It feels so difficult to breathe as questions plague my mind. Who was behind the call? And what do they want from me? I feel like I'm trapped in a dangerous game without knowing the rules.I try to dismiss the feeling, convincing
Nadine's POVThese past few weeks have been the best of my life. Shawn knows Logan is his dad, and it’s been a smooth ride. He sticks to Logan's side all day, and Logan, being the doting father, has no other obligation than to satisfy his son’s desires.Our dates are magical, and we’ve been on so many more since then. Logan spoils me silly, making every moment feel special. During one of our outings, he asked me to be his girlfriend, and I couldn’t care less about the label because I knew he wanted to woo me—that’s how he puts it.Logan’s family is eager for us to bring Shawn around so he can get to know his father’s side. I see pure love in their eyes as they bask in Shawn’s presence. Later, I find out that the blonde Logan pointed out at the restaurant with Chris is Lucas’s girlfriend. I feel a flush of embarrassment when I remember how I wanted to march up to her and stake my claim on Logan. Thank goodness I didn’t do that! I turn to Logan and playfully smack his chest. “Ouch!” h
Logan's POVI can’t get enough of Nadine. She’s like a soothing balm for my aching heart, and after giving her multiple orgasms, I feel like I’ve been on one hell of a ride.I want every part of her to bear my mark, so no man dares to come close to what is mine. I trail kisses over her body as she slowly opens her eyes. “No, not again, Logan,” she murmurs, feeling my erection pressing against her.I can’t count the number of times I’ve had an erection just from kissing her, and each time, it leads to amazing sex—an explosion of pent-up desire finally released. “I need to see my boy,” she whines, making her way toward the bathroom.I smile as I watch her. I want to see my boy too, but I dream of us being a family, all under one roof. Waking up each morning with Nadine by my side, peppering her with kisses and sending her into ecstasy before I head off to work. I imagine my son jumping up and down on my bed, trying to wake us up. The picture brings a smile to my face.Suddenly, I real
Nadine's POV.He pulls away and asks me a question I wasn’t expecting. Things are moving faster than I thought, but I know we’ve been avoiding our feelings for too long. We’ve both suffered in denial.“Go on a date with me,” he says softly, his eyes searching mine for a reaction. But I know I’m ready to take that leap of faith for us.I smile warmly, letting him see just how open I am to his request.“Of course, yes.”The smile that lights up his face is beyond ordinary, it’s captivating, pulling me in like a spell. He draws me closer and kisses me gently, and I savor the bliss that washes over me. Then it hits me—I need to call Rosa to let her know I won’t be home tonight.There’s no way I’m leaving here; I just want to stay in his arms all night.He notices the shift in my mood and asks, “What’s wrong?”“I need to call Rosa.”“Oh, how’s our son doing?” he asks, watching closely, testing if I’ll show any vulnerability.“He’s fine, but he wasn’t too happy with us leaving so suddenly.
I can’t believe what I just heard. My heart leaps with joy, pounding so hard I feel it might burst from my chest. “I’m right where I should be,” she whispers.It feels surreal. “Say that again, Nadine,” I urged, my face lighting up with happiness.“Oh, stop, Logan,” she replies, covering her face with her hands.Unable to contain my excitement, I scoop her up in a bridal carry and head up the stairs.“Drop me! I can walk by myself!” she laughs, but I can’t help my joy as I carry her with happiness.“Where are you taking me?” she asks, laughing.“To my bathroom. Remember that day you had your bath here?” She nods her head against my chest, a playful smile on her lips.I can’t seem to have a bath without thinking about that day. I kick the door open and step inside, gently lowering her to her feet under the shower.As the warm water cascades around us, I slowly start to remove her clothes, then peel off my own until we are both naked, feeling the heat envelop us.I take a moment to ad
He moves his hand down, sliding my pants aside, and finds my clit with his fingers. I shudder, arching my back as he continues to press deeper. He adds another finger, fucking me with it, but it doesn’t come close to satisfying the longing that’s consumed me for years. No amount of self-control can hold back the desire that surges through me.His fingers alone can’t quench my thirst. All I want is his dick inside me, filling me, while my clit clench around him.He slams into me with all the raw power I remember from our first night together, igniting a fire deep in me.That night is etched in my memory, and each time I use my toy, I picture him, as I thrust in and out reliving the raw connection I feel that reckless night.As he drives deeper, sensations flood back, every gasp, every moan, every brush of his skin against mine. I remember the way he looked at me, his eyes dark with desire, as if I were the only thing that mattered in the world.I think of how desperately I craved him
"Nadine," he calls my name, and my knees go weak. I can’t help myself; I lunge at him, pressing my lips to his. He swings into action immediately, without hesitation, as if he’s been waiting for this moment. What does this man do to me? He kisses me back, matching my intensity, pouring as much desire into the kiss as I do.I know this man. His presence etches itself into every part of my being. I can’t stay sane without him. I know it sounds cliché, but it’s the damn truth. He owns me, and I’m sure he feels the same. My encounter with Chris is a wake-up call, reminding me to hold on tight to what I have. Rosa’s words echo in my mind, even if she thinks I didn’t hear: I shouldn’t let a good man slip away.“Oh, Nad,” he whispers, his hands roaming over my body, cupping my butt. I wrap my legs around him, keeping our lips locked.He carries me to the couch, laying me down gently before finally pulling away.“What the hell, Logan?” I snap, frustration bubbling up like a child denied th
Nadine's POV I'm still reeling from Logan's sudden appearance and departure. My heart was racing, and my body trembling with desire. How does he do this to me? I feel like I'm trapped in a web of longing, unable to escape.The way he touched me, his fingers tracing my skin, sending shivers down my spine. His eyes, burning with intensity, seeing right through me. And that whispered question, 'What do you want?'... It's as if he knows I'm powerless against him.I try to shake off the feeling, telling myself I'm on a date with Chris, but Logan's presence has awakened something deep within me. I can't deny the connection between us.Chris... poor Chris. He has no idea what's going on. I feel guilty, about using him as a distraction from Logan. But Logan's games are exhausting. Why can't he leave me alone?As I return to the table, Chris notices my flushed cheeks and asks if I'm okay. I force a smile, trying to brush it off, but he sees right through me.'Everything alright?' he asks, con
Logan's POVI keep tabs on her, my men tracking her every move. But tonight feels different. I'm told that she’s going on a date with Chris Meyers, the kind of guy who can charm his way into anyone’s heart. I know he won’t stop until he has Nadine under his spell, and the thought twists my heart with disgust, a sharp pang of jealousy tightening my chest.Even from afar, I sense her unease. Her eyes darted around, searching for someone, anyone, watching her. Little does she know, it’s me.Kelly, my brother Lucas’s girlfriend, is nearby. Lucas has been pushing me to meet her, and as soon as he steps away to take a call, I know it’s my moment to move closer.When I point at Kelly as my date, I see it in her eyes—she’s ready to tear her apart from miles away.Returning to my seat, I feel Nadine’s gaze follow me, tracking my every move. When she finally stands, I slip away, quietly following her.She heads toward the restroom, and I follow, keeping my distance as I move discreetly in the
The past few weeks have been a wild ride, just as I expected. I've spent more time at my flower shop and squeezed in several dates.Some of them? Total snooze-fests. They drone on about themselves—their accomplishments, their families without ever asking what I want.One guy bragged so much that you'd think I was lucky just to be sitting across from him.Another couldn’t stop talking about his mom and his pet, which screamed a red flag from a mile away.Logan’s been away a lot, but he still checks on Shawn when I’m not around, always making sure to send flowers. This time, though, he didn’t come by in person to place the order.But his absence is obvious even Ava can't stop talking about the gorgeous man who ordered flowers which I know she is referring to Logan Even Shawn has noticed, asking where Logan’s been. I just shrug, unsure of the answer.He followed up the flowers with a sweet message that had me grinning from ear to ear.Lately, I’ve been exploring more—going on dates, unw
