CHAPTER 15 - SLOANE

I SAT ON the sofa and ran my fingers across my lips. Had I been dreaming or did Logan just kiss me? My lips didn’t feel any different, but judging by the clink of dishes I could hear in the kitchen, Logan was definitely in my house, which meant I hadn’t imagined the whole thing. Half of me wanted to freak out, and the other half wanted to send Kenneth a golf towel and a six-pack of organic smoothies as a thank-you gift for being in exactly the right place at the right time. The only question was, how could I get him to come back tomorrow?

“Did you find a movie?” Logan asked from the doorway.

I snatched my hand away from my mouth. Don’t let him know how much he affects you, Sloane. The last thing I wanted to do was scare him off.

“What? Uh, no, not yet. Did Kenneth leave?”

“Still there, kitten. Figure he’ll get bored after an hour or two.”

Thank goodness. Did that mean Logan would stick around for two whole hours? I fumbled for the remote and clicked the TV on, cursing my lack of channels.

“What do you like watching?” I asked.

“I don’t watch much TV. Just football occasionally.”

“I really hate football.” The mere thought of sitting through a game left me cold. “Sorry.”

“Then pick anything. I’m not bothered.”

Oh, that was helpful. What if I chose the wrong thing? A game show, some reality singing thing, a documentary. Nope, nope, nope. Aha! An action movie. Gunfights, fast cars, a few explosions… That would make Logan feel right at home, wouldn’t it? I mean, nobody told us PAs everything about Blackwood’s operations, but I gleaned enough details to get nervous every time Logan left the building.

But for now, I tried to put work out of my mind. Tonight, Logan was here with me, and I wanted to enjoy every minute of his company, even if I did feel guilty for him giving up his evening to help me out.

“This movie?” I read the details from the guide. “‘The year is 2023. When a crazed serial killer escapes from his high-tech prison, only three deputies stand between his murderous tendencies and the sleepy town of Westbrough. Can they recapture the notorious criminal before it’s too late?’”

“Sounds good. You want ketchup?”

I loved ketchup, but I’d probably get it on my face and end up looking like one of the serial killer’s victims as well as being utterly mortified. Spending time around Logan left me giddy, a weird, visceral reaction I still didn’t quite understand. It wasn’t as if I’d never had a boyfriend. I’d had several. And I’d eaten dinner with overly hot guys on more than one occasion, albeit mostly as a seat-filler when Blackwood had booked a table at a fancy event and somebody dropped out at the last minute. I’d even coped with Emmy’s ex-boyfriend Jed acting as my escort, and until he’d met The One three years ago, he’d been a smart-mouthed man-slut with octopus arms and hands that got everywhere.
