Chapter Thirteen

They had no privacy after that. Jacqui joined them as they stepped out of the suite and two hotel staff pushed luggage carriers beside them. Sahara was forced to be Micky.

As they stepped into the elevator, Jacqui unconsciously helped by pulling out her notebook and going over the itinerary of the journey in a soft, clear voice designed not to travel too far beyond Sahara’s hearing. Sahara was conscious of Logan standing beside her, absorbed in his own thoughts.

Standing as close to her as he was, she caught a drift of his scent—not a commercial cologne but his own clean male aroma. It instantly snapped her mind back to the memory of last night when he had held her in his arms and the scent had been much stronger. It curled around her mind, zapping her senses. Deep inside her belly, something rolled over and sent a weakening wave of longing through her.

She had only to lean a little to her right and she could nestle into his chest. She could reach out with her hand, slide it under the back of his jacket and cup—

The elevator doors bounced open, revealing the noisy gilt and marble foyer, which was thick with hotel guests and other customers using the dining room, the bistro and the snack bar. The piano bar was doing a roaring trade and Sahara remembered it was Friday night.

She was abruptly aware of just how many people were within sight. All of these people would see her leaving. She had never felt more self-conscious. She was dressed to draw attention. Worse, she was getting it. Many men quite blatantly turned their heads to look her over and some even nudged their friends and jerked their heads in her direction.

She swallowed and followed the bellman, keeping her eyes on his back. But the skin over her spine prickled and the hair on the back of her neck tried to stand up.

Logan’s hand slid under her elbow and she felt him step up beside her. She looked up at him.

“You’re safe,” he breathed. “They’re just admiring you.”

She took another wobbling breath.

“Smile,” he told her. “You don’t have a care in the world and you’re lapping up the attention.”

She turned a full smile upon him. “Just as long as you don’t let go of me!” she murmured and laughed as if she had said something incredibly witty.

Logan smiled back and his smile was warm. Intimate. It drew her closer to him. The noise in the foyer receded until it was just a backdrop surrounding them.

“Are you flirting with me?” he asked. His voice low and rumbled pleasantly.

Her smile brightened for a second. “In best Micky fashion,” she assured him. “Is it working?”

He glanced casually around the foyer. “You’re at about fifty percent,” he assured her.

She felt her smile slip a little. “Excuse me?”

He held open the heavy glass door and let her walk through into the dry, still, hot air of a Los Angeles summer evening. “Your dazzle rating. You have about fifty percent of the men back there hating my guts.
