Chapter Nine

Using his celebrity to get a room when everyone was trapped at Harwood House didn’t seem like a nice thing to do so, instead, Logan was glad he’d had his truck brought over earlier. The Lincoln SUV was equipped for all weather conditions and would safely get them back to his place.

Avery stood there on the step of the converted barn, wrapped in her coat and his scarf watching him. Her lips were still full and swollen from his kisses and he wanted nothing more than to be in his own bed with this woman.

He pulled the truck as close to the barn as he could get it. The ice pelted down hard on the back of his neck as he left the engine running and ran around to her. “Do you trust me?”

She chewed her lower lip and then nodded hesitantly. He picked her up, cradling her close to his chest as he ran to the cab of the truck. He opened the door and set her on the seat, closing the door before running back to the passenger side. He got inside and sat there shivering as the icy rain continued to drip from his hair down his neck and back.

“They didn’t have any rooms,” he said. “They offered to bump someone for me, which was sweet, but I’d have to be even more of an ass than rumor has it for me to do that.”

“You’re not an ass,” she said. “Are we spending the night in this truck?”

“No. I am going to drive us back to my place,” he said. “This truck has four-wheel drive and all-weather traction tires.”

“You sound like a commercial,” she said.

“Do I? You’d think I hawked products,” he said with a grin, and she remembered what she’d said when they first met.

“Let’s hope you know how to use this one—unlike the coffee machine.”

He laughed, turning the heat up a bit higher before he put the Lincoln in drive and started to make his way down the drive of Harwood House.

Avery sat next to him tensely watching the road as he drove carefully to his compound.

“Do you want to spend the night with me?” he asked.

“Yes and no. I’ve been trying to figure this out since our kiss. And I’m not any closer to figuring out how I can be cool around you and stop thinking about what you look like naked.”

“It’s not that complicated,” he said. “I’m just a guy.”

He didn’t say anything else, just drove up to his mansion and instead of leaving the Lincoln in the big circle drive, he parked it in the garage. He came around to open her door and she slid around on the seat to get out of the Lincoln, which had a running board on the side due to the high wheel base. He put his hands on her waist and she put her hand on his neck. She did that a lot he noticed. He hesitated because there was a look in her eyes that made her seem shy.
