Chapter five

Later Monday night

I'm surrounded by warmth and when I try to burrow deeper into it, my body aches with the slightest of movements. I groan and try to swallow, but my throat is dry and sore.

What the hell happened to me?

My mind tries to recall the events before I obviously fell asleep, and when I remember my evening with Logan–the pizza, the talk, my meltdown–I groan louder.

“Quiet, you.” Logan's whisper, mere inches from my ear, startles me. When my eyes pop open and I lift my head, I find myself lying prone on his body, staring into his sleepy blue eyes.

“Oh my God, I'm so sorry.” I start to scramble off him but his arms wrap around my back, causing me to still.

“Stop. Moving.” He says again. Not quite a whisper, but low and deliberate.

I barely shift and feel a solid bulge press into my upper thigh. I freeze and meet his gaze to find his brow lifted, a slight grin on his lips.

“Yeah. That.”

I can't help but snort with laughter as I lower my face onto his chest. I hear Stormi's snores and figure she must be on her bed. Logan starts my back in a soothing motion.

“How ya doing?”

I look up at him and see the concern in his eyes. “Tired. Further embarrassed. And I need to pee.”

“Well then, better take care of that. Think you can carefully extract yourself from this position?”

“I'll do my best, Sarge.”

He chuckles while I plant my arms on the couch, pushing up to give myself leverage. I then move one leg down to the floor and manage to remove my body–although reluctantly–from his. It takes a moment for me to straighten and get my bearings. Logan slowly sits as I stretch and groan some more. When I look at him, he's watching intently, scanning my body. I look down at myself and realize with my arms stretched above my head, my sweater has risen to give him a peek at my abdomen.

“Sexy,” he says. I simply grin and try not to stare at his groin. “Hey, woman, get to the bathroom. Give me a chance to calm down.”

“Yes, sir,” I tease, giving him a mock salute before turning on my heel. I hear his chuckle as I pad down the hall to the guest bathroom. Turning on the light, my reflection in the mirror greets me and I groan at my haggard appearance.

“You're beautiful,” I hear Logan say. “Now do your business so I can go.”

I laugh while shaking my head as I close the door. I do indeed take care of business and wash up, splashing cool water on my face and patting it dry. I find a brush in the drawer and untangle my mop. Looking mostly presentable, I return to the living room.

“Your tur–” I stop in my tracks as I now watch Logan stretch, still seeing the impressive package he's sporting. When I meet his gaze, his mouth twitches and his eyes light up.

“Like what you see?”

“I sure do.
