I nodded. “If I can do anything for you, please let me know.”
He chuckled as he shook his head. “What are the chances of meeting a contract lawyer when I need one?”
I laughed. “I was just thinking the same thing.”
What seemed like minutes later, we touched down smoothly in New York and the pilot threw the engines into reverse, shoving me back against the seat until we finally came to a stop and taxied to the jetway.
Vince looked over at me as people around us started getting their things together. “Well, Ms. Collins, it was a pleasure to meet you,” he said, smiling as he held up my card and sl

LoganMonday morning, my limo pulled up in front of the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital. I got out of the car, dressed like Santa Claus, scooped up the huge red bag filled with toys sitting in the backseat, and slung them over my shoulder. I laughed, thinking of Abigail. Actually, she was the one who gave me the idea to dress like Santa Claus. I chuckled and walked into the building with no fanfare or publicity. I didn’t want this to turn into a three-ring circus. The children deserved better.“We’ll start off here in the ICU,” the hospital coordinator said, dressed in a business dress suit and matching high heels that clicked against the linoleum floor as we walked past a wall with an impressive mermaid mural. “Many of the children here have cancer or leukemia, and are terminal.”My brow furrowed in concern. “Isn’t there anything more that can be done?”She forced a sm

AlyssaAfter opening the business and advertising, I already had a few clients. Also, I had taken Curt’s advice and had expanded the business and now offered consulting services. Word was spreading quickly, and I was sure that Curt had something to do with it.“Ms. Collins, Mr. Davis is here to see you,” said Lynn Rodgers, my new secretary.“Thanks, Lynn,” I said as I put away a contract. “Send him in.”She nodded and smiled as she opened the door. A moment later, Curt peeked his head in the door. “Is it safe to come in?”I smirked. “I don’t know. Is it?”He chuckled as he walked into my office. “Look: I’m sorry for my behavior at the airport. I promise it won’t happen again.”I smiled. “You’re forgiven.”He let out an exaggerated breath. “Good! Now that that’s out of the way, can

At work the next day, I couldn’t stop thinking of Logan and the confrontation with his mother. After leaving the mansion, I stopped in for a drink at a quiet lounge to think, and then I went straight home. I thought all night about Logan and whether or not I should call him. Knowing his mother, she’d probably send a hitman after me now. I decided to throw myself into my work and let the chips fall where they may.As I spoke to client sitting across from me, a huge yawn escaped my lips. “I’m so sorry,” I said. “I didn’t much sleep last night.”He smiled; a kind elder gentleman. “That’s all right, dear. After we’re finished here, you go on home and get some sleep.”I smiled. “I wish I could, but I have more clients.” I shook it off. “But that’s all right. I’ll sleep like a baby tonight.”“That’s the spirit!” he said, giving me a kind

I had a sinking feeling when Curt helped me out of the limo. “You should have told me we were going to a formal gathering,” I whispered as we walked up the stairs. “What’s going on?”He smirked. “I told you to wear something nice,” he said as he placed his hand on the small of my back as his eyes traveled down my body. “But don’t worry. You look great.”When we walked in the main dining hall, people were dressed in formal attire. Women wore long dresses, and men were in tuxes and formal suits. A Christmas tree set to the right of the ballroom and tables were decorated festively. “It’s your company Christmas party,” I said, matter of fact, as my heart sank. I looked up into his eyes. “I wish you would have told me.”He shrugged. “Would it have made a difference?”Anger welled up inside of me as I looked around, feeling out of place, but glad that I didn&rs

Soon, we pulled up in front of my apartment building.“I’ll get it,” Curt said to the driver when he started to open his door.The driver nodded.Curt got out and opened my car door a moment later, extending his hand.I smiled as I took it and let him escort me to the door. He started to follow me inside the building, but I stopped him. “Curt, I don’t think this is going to work.”His eyebrows pulled together in concern. “What? Our seeing each other, or doing business together?”“Seeing each other,” I clarified as I looked away, and then back again. “I’m sorry, but this just doesn’t feel right. I think you need a different kind of woman than I am. Someone who will go along with what you want or stand up to you. But I’m just not that woman.”He nodded. “I see,” he said as he stepped away, and then turned around. “So, do you feel

For the rest of the afternoon, I found myself eager to see Logan again. The clock seemed to tick by the minutes too slowly.“Thank you for coming today,” I said, closing a deal with an elderly gentleman in an expensive suit. “You can make your next appointment with Lynn.”He nodded, forcing a smile. “It was a pleasure.” After shaking my hand, he held it for a minute. “You really are a great lawyer.” Then, he leaned in and whispered. “I’ll be sure to tell all my friends.”I smiled as I gave his hand a gentle squeeze, and then released it. “Thank you, Mr. Appleby. I truly appreciate that,” I said as I opened the door. “I can use all the referrals I can get.”He chuckled. “Just remember me when you’re too booked to take on new clients.”I laughed. “I can’t wait for the day.”He smiled. “If you don’t mind an o

When I stepped out of the car, I looked up and we were at Bouley Restaurant, one of the best French restaurants in New York. Logan tucked my hand into his arm and smiled as he took in my reaction. “Have you ever been here before?”I shook my head. “No. Never.”He leaned close and said conspiratorially, “Neither have I.”We both laughed as we walked in together. “Well, I’m glad I have one of your firsts,” I said without thinking. “Sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.”He laughed. “Why not? If not anything else, we’ve always been able to talk.”Among other things, I thought to myself as I nodded. But I quickly pushed the thought aside.“Don’t ever hold anything back from me,” he said in a low voice as we approached the maître d.Even the foyer was opulent, with fine furnishings for guests waiting for a table.

“Right this way,” Michael said as he escorted us past a wall filled with fine china in different patterns encased in glass. He held the chair for me as I sat down, and then left discreetly behind the curtain.I let out a deep breath, high from the experience. “Wow! Talk about the royal treatment!”“Did you enjoy yourself?” Logan asked as he poured the champagne.I nodded, not attempting to hide my amazement. “Very much,” I replied as I took a sip of my wine. “How about you? Did you enjoy it?”He smiled. “I loved it. In fact, I think I picked up a few pointers.”I laughed. “So, are you going to fix dinner again for me sometime?” I asked before I thought about it, remembering the night when he had fixed dinner for me in my kitchen in Nashville. Even though it was many years ago, I remembered it as if it were yesterday.He smiled. “Sure. If you’d lik

All of a sudden, Craig stood in front of us, blocking the way. Frank saw Craig approach and crossed the room. “May I speak with you both for a minute?” My heart suddenly sank, wondering what he had done to Alyssa. But I held my cool. If I hadn’t learned anything else over the years, it was to curb my jealousy. I looked down at Alyssa, and she nodded. Anyone else would have walked away and let them speak alone. But from what I remembered of Craig, there was no way in Hell that I was going to let that happen. “What is it, Craig?” Alyssa asked, stiffening. He stole a quick glance at me, and then focused on Alyssa. “Look: I’m sorry for what happened the other day … for the kiss …” I stiffened as I clenched my fists at my sides, trying to hold my cool until he finished. “… but I wanted you to know that it’ll never happen again. I’d like to continue our professional relationship, and I promise that nothing like that will ever happen again.” “It better not,”

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause once again as the mayor stepped up to the microphone.“So, eat, drink, and be merry,” Mayor Townsend said from the stage behind me as I rushed down the side stairs, fighting through the crowd, trying to get to Alyssa as quickly as I could. “But make sure to dig deep in your pockets to help Logan Ambrose and the children!”As I looked through the crowd, Frank, Alyssa, and Roxanne were standing, talking to my parents as a concerned look spread across Frank’s face. Even Craig looked concerned. I seemed to move in slow motion as I hurried to her. But the faster I moved, the slower I felt I was moving. What seemed like an eternity later, I stepped up beside Alyssa and wrapped a protective arm around her. “Mom, Dad! What are you doing here?” I asked directly, not caring how it sounded.“Why, son!” my mother began in a sickening sweet tone. “I’m here to celebrate

LoganI offered my arm to Alyssa and escorted her into the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza as Alanna walked ahead. A bellman took our coats as we walked in, revealing Alyssa’s lovely dress that fell over her body like water—very elegant and sexy. If this event hadn’t been in my honor, I would have taken her back to my condo and not let her out of the bedroom for a week.Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling and beige pillars stood along the sides of the room, as the ceiling glowed in peach lighting. An ornately decorated Christmas tree sat at the far end of the room to the right by the stage, and tables set along the edge, leaving the center of the floor open. Christmas lights hung around the room, elegantly decorated but not overly done.When Alanna slipped out of her coat, she had the attention of every man in the room with her barely-there dress. I escorted them both to the head table where Frank and Craig were sitting

Then, he pushed into me as his lips descended upon mine. He moved me to my side and lay behind me, raising my leg up over his hip, and then pushed into me again as his hand reached around and rubbed my nipples.“God. This feels good!” I said as I pushed against him, letting every inch of his wonderful dick fill me. “Don’t stop!”He pushed into me as he rubbed my nipples and then moved his hand down to my clit as he rubbed and fucked. My walls clenched around his cock as every nerve in my body screamed for release, sending me over the edge as my climax shook my body.A moment later, his cock swelled. “Fuck, Alyssa! You feel good!” he screamed as he came inside of me, pushing into me, over and over, arousing me again.This time, I pushed him back against the pillows and then straddled him backward and pushed his full cock inside of me. Then, I rode him, over and again, lifting up off him and then pushing down hard a

Logan shoved into my pussy from behind as he fondled my clit, and I pushed against him, matching his rhythm. Soon, he grabbed my hips and pulled me to him pushing into me deeper and harder than before. Then his dick swelled, sending me over the edge as I screamed out in pleasure, shuddering in climax.“Oh, God, Alyssa,” he said as he came, pushing into me over and again. “You feel so good!”“Don’t stop!” I screamed as every nerve ending in my body ignited, bubbling up inside of me until it spilled over. “I’m coming again!”Then, his cock swelled again as he kept his rhythm, pushing into me even harder. He moaned as he pushed into me and stopped for a minute as he came again. Then, he pulled back and pushed into me again, until his pulls finally slowed. He kissed my back as I leaned across the table, and then rubbed my inner thighs as he kissed my ass cheeks. “You want to continue this, or are you

Soon, I walked into the front door of my apartment. It had been twenty-four hours since I’d been there, and it seemed desolate somehow. Empty. I quickly pushed the thought aside as I hung up my coat and dressed in casual jeans and a nice blue shirt and matching light sweater—the kind that’s longer in the front than in the back.Then, I headed out to the kitchen and decided to make some good old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs. Logan had always called it ‘comfort food for the soul’.Within minutes, I had the water for the spaghetti on to boil, the sauce cooking, and was rolling the meatballs when I heard a knock on the door. “Just a minute!” I yelled as I washed up and hurried to the door, wiping my hands on a dishtowel.I flung the door open, and Logan was leaning against the door facing. “You really should ask who it is before you open the door,” he said in a seductive voice as he handed me a bouquet of pu

I laughed at her sudden change of heart. I knew just how to manipulate her … tempt her with shopping with an unlimited credit card. “So, when can you get here? We have to go shopping soon. Christmas Eve is just a week away.”She thought for a minute as she shuffled papers in the background. “Give me today to cancel my clients and I’ll be on the first flight out.”I laughed. “Good! Can’t wait to see you! Hey! Don’t plan on going back right away! I want to go out with you on New Year’s Eve, too!”She laughed. “What? Logan not man enough for you?”I laughed. “Just get your ass here! Can’t wait to see you!”Her voice suddenly turned serious. “Yeah. Me, too.”“You okay?”There was a pause at the other end. “Same ‘ol, same ‘ol. No man at Christmas, the usual.”“Well, we’re going

AlyssaThe next morning, I left Logan sleeping on his bed, dressed, and gave him a light kiss on the forehead, careful not to wake him. He rolled over, smiling, and hugged his pillow. I loved watching him sleep. I hated to leave him, and wished I could climb back into bed with him, but I had appointments on the book. Since I had moved to New York, word had spread quickly and business was booming. A twinge of guilt pulled at my chest, because I knew a lot of it had to do with Curt.Eying the notepad and pen on Logan’s dresser, I quickly scribbled a note.My Dearest Logan:Thanks for dinner. I especially liked the ‘main course’. Come to my place for dinner tonight … and no complaining about my cooking! LOL!Until Then,AllieIt was funny. He was the one who started calling me Allie, but he was the only one who called me that all the time. Somehow, it fit. Carryi

“I’ll give you my credit card and you can go get you a dress. And don’t worry about the cost,” I whispered against her lips when I pulled back.She smirked. “You don’t have to do that. I can buy a dress.”I shook my head. “No. I want to,” I said as I placed a credit card with no limit on the table next to her plate. “Besides, you’d better get used to it.”She smiled. “What’s that supposed to mean?”I leaned closer and looked directly into her eyes. “It means that now that I found you again, I’m not going to let you go.”She was about to say something, but stopped short when the doorbell rang.“Ignore it,” I said, leaning in to give her a kiss. “It’s probably just the doorman.”But she pulled back and bit her lower lip. My heart sank at her expression, wondering what she was thinking about what I had
