Chapter Nine

Even with the lack of sleep, Olivia was at her desk well before anyone else the next morning. She wanted to keep off Ryan’s radar, do her job and concentrate on Logan’s case. But she found herself drifting into thoughts of her night with him, lingering on the Gaelic words she now recognized when he whispered them against her skin. She caught herself sighing more than once, idly tapping her pen against her lips.

The chime of her email brought her back from another daydream. It was from Lori. She clicked the icon and opened the attachment. It was the confirmation of the filing for Logan’s case. Her heart did a little flip. Filings were routine for her, but this meant they had taken the first step in hopefully repairing the damage Jack Ashton had caused. Now it was just a matter of waiting for Ashton’s answer and, as Olivia had told Logan, the possibility of Ashton’s counter suit.

She dialed Logan’s cell phone, re-reading the email as the call went through.

“Hello.” Logan’s voice was groggy, and Olivia cringed.

“I woke you. I’m sorry.”

“Aye, but I don’t mind it. Waking to your voice is more a treat than a chore. I should be doing things anyway, not lying about in bed.”

Olivia felt a smile rise. He never failed to improve her mood. “I have news. We filed today. It’s official.”

“Well then. That’s progress. I feel better now, even though I know the worst is yet to come.”

“The worst may be the public side of it all,” Olivia said, settling into the professional tone that came naturally with discussing cases. “Depending on how Ashton reacts in the press. You’ll have to be prepared to hear some very ugly things.”

“I know Ashton, and yes, he has a very sharp tongue and a very short temper. I’ll be on my own in this. There’s nothing I can do but tell the truth.”

“I’d advise you to say nothing, actually. But we can talk about that later, as things progress. You and I and Ryan can meet and decide on how we want you to handle the publicity.”

“I want to see you again.” Logan’s voice was low, seductive, and Olivia’s heart started beating faster.”

“You just saw me,” she reminded him. “Something like six hours ago.”

“It’s been that long? Too long. Any time is too long.” She heard his soft laugh. “You bring out the romantic in my, Olivia. I’ll be writing love songs now in the wee hours instead of rock.”

A flush heated Olivia’s cheeks. “I’m sure your fans will appreciate that.”

“The only opinion I care about is yours.”

Someone walked past the closed door of her office, and the reminder that she was still at work pulled Olivia out of the giddy mood that Logan’s voice had prompted.

“I should go,” she said, reluctantly. “I’ll call you when I’m home, though. Come to my apartment and I’ll make you dinner. I’ll even find a bottle of Macallan for us.”

Logan laughed. “You cook. I’ll bring the Macallan.”

“Deal.”

Olivia ended the call and sat staring down at her phone for a moment, a smile still on her lips.
