Chapter Sixteen

Grace roused when she felt herself being lowered. She opened her eyes and saw Logan hovering over her after placing her on a couch.

“Hey,” she said nervously.

“Hey. You awake?”

“Yeah, sort of. We’re at your place?”

“Yeah. It’s not the Ritz, but you’ll be safe here,” Logan told her with a small grin.

“I know I will. You’re here. Thank you,” Grace said with an openness and honesty that was easy to read on her face.

“I need to run down to my truck for a second. I’ve got a pair of bolt cutters in the box in the back. I’ll have you out of these in a jiffy. You okay by yourself for a moment?”

“Of course,” Grace said with a small laugh. “The sooner you go, the sooner I’ll get out of these things.” She lifted her hands, making the chains clink together loudly.

“You need to use the restroom before I go?” Logan asked, strangely reluctant to leave her side.

“No, thank you. I’d rather wait until these are off.”

“Of course.” He didn’t move from his protective hover over her.

“Logan?” Grace asked, tilting her head in concern. “You okay?”

“Yeah. You’re beautiful, Grace. The years have been good to you,” he blurted out.

She felt herself blushing and bit her lip. “Thanks. You too.”

He brought a hand up and smoothed a lock of hair behind her ear before bending down all the way to brush his lips over hers in a barely-there caress. “I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.”

Grace watched as Logan stood up and strode out of the room. She pushed herself into a sitting position and brought a hand up to her lips. The last hour or so had been intense. She’d fallen asleep plotting her escape, and woken up to Logan saying he was there to get her out. She hadn’t hesitated. Didn’t care that her parents would be pissed. She was done with them. Done.

But the most vivid part of the night had been when Logan kissed her. One second they’d been sitting there staring at each other, and the next he was devouring her mouth. It didn’t feel weird, or awkward, as it had the few times she’d kissed other men. It felt like coming home.

She could still feel his tongue in her mouth, dueling with hers, stroking nerve endings she didn’t know she had. It was all she’d ever dreamed about, and more.

Grace had wanted Logan Anderson for so long, and the kiss they shared hinted at the intimacy she’d long fantasized about. Their kiss had fanned the flames of desire she’d kept tamped down from the moment she’d first met him in the tenth grade.

But now they were adults.

And sort of living together.

She’d never be able to keep him from finding out how much she wanted him.

“Got it.” His triumphant voice coming from the front of the room made Grace jump a foot. She looked over the top of the sofa at him.

The place wasn’t anything special. Most people who saw it would think the person who lived there was down on his luck, but Grace had a feeling that Logan simply didn’t care about appearances.
