Chapter Four

“You do not get to treat me like a piece of shit, Logan! I am not that kind of girl, and I will not allow it.”

Logan ignored me completely, but I was so mad at him that I continued to stomp right after him. “Who the fuck do you think you are, Logan? Doing whatever the hell you feel like doing without considering the feelings of others! You are a callous man!

Logan entered his room and I followed him in. One thing you don’t do to me is ignore me like I am some irrelevant bag of thrash.

No one has ever made me feel the way Logan does; emotionally, and it is always so intense that it makes me want to burst. And even though a small part of me was still afraid of him, daring him just seems like fun, but so far he has maintained a calm demeanor, which infuriates me even more.

“You have a big mouth, Alice,” Logan finally said as he poured some Vodka into his glass. “You should learn to control it.”

I drew closer to him. “No, you should learn the proper way to treat a lady! If all the women you have ever dated are celebrities who don’t demand respect from you, then you must know that I am not part of them.”

“Shut the fuck up.” Logan thundered. I almost tripped trying to move away from his threatening self, and that was when I noticed that his lips coiled in mockery.

Oh, so you love it when you scare me? I thought. Well, you will not get that satisfaction anymore. So I regained my position and raised my head and shoulder high, although with Logan, you can never meet up with his height. “You cannot shut me up, Mr. D’Nores,” I said defiantly. 

Before I could finish that statement, Logan’s lips crashed on mine. Instinctively, I returned the kiss. I was supposed to be mad at him, damn!

It is quite difficult, if not impossible to be mad at a man who kisses the way Logan does. He parted my lips and I welcomed him in, savoring all of him.

My knees began to feel weak, and my head drowsy from the kiss, and I hoped that I would not fall to the ground.

While I was still swimming in the sweetness of Logan’s deep kiss, he stopped and withdrew his lips.

For some seconds, I still had my eyes closed, hoping it was like in his movies that I had watched countless times where he would withdraw-maybe to catch his breath, I wouldn’t know, then dive right back into kissing, but when that wasn’t happening, I opened my eyes to Logan’s corky smile.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

It was a trap and I had fallen for it! I wanted the ground to open and swallow me up. He knew that the kiss had gotten to me. He knew by my response that I enjoyed it. Heck, I even wanted more of it.

Logan took his glass of Vodka and sat down on his couch and crossed his leg. “I told you to shut up. I see that you barely listen to instructions, Alice.” He still had that corky smile on his face! I could not do the walk of shame away from him. I could not say a word; my tongue was tied, either from the kiss or from the embarrassment I feel. I just stood there like a Barbie doll while he sipped on his Vodka and carried on his corky smile.

“Your cheeks are red as strawberries,” he said. Logan was obviously enjoying what he was doing, and I was letting him by just standing there, not doing anything, not saying anything.

Logan’s POV

I had to sit down immediately so she would not notice how woody my manhood had grown. I did not mean to kiss her like that, but she just kept talking, and it was annoying. Also, her small lips kept curling in that sexy manner that I am sure she is not even aware of, and before I could control myself, my lips were already on hers.

Fuck they are so soft and full, and every time I kiss her, I get more aroused. I almost wanted to take her there and then in my bedroom, but then I wanted to punish her for being so slutty and disrespectful.

“Hey man,” Ethan poked his head into my room. Seeing that I was there, he strolled in and sat on the other couch. Ethan and I are more friends at home because we were childhood friend, but outside the walls of my house, I am his boss and he is my PA. “You have a meeting with some staff at the Casino later tonight,” he informed.

“Cancel it.”

I could see surprise spread across Ethan’s small face. “But why?”

“I want to concentrate more on my forthcoming wedding. Until after that, I won’t be attending to matters that pertain to work.

Ethan chuckled, and I wonder why. “Are you the one planning the wedding? I thought Leah was taking care of it, and besides, you have not even fixed a particular date yet.

“Regarding that, I will speak to Leah immediately…and stop grinning like a little boy, it makes you look funny.”

The look Ethan now had on is that of amusement, and he kept staring at me as though I had something like chocolate on face. “Stop that, Ethan, damn.”

“Sorry boss…it’s just that it looks as if you just kissed Alice. You have this blush on your face, which is very weird considering you are a Mafia boss, and…”

“Stop it, Ethan.” I warned, but even I knew that Ethan would not stop it. I felt a shift in my heart. Why am I feeling this way about Alice though?

“I daresay that with the way I saw her storming out of your bedroom, something obviously did happen between the two of you!”
