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.

    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 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

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

    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.
