Chapter Twelve

Giada

I settled into a routine, dragging my ass out of bed around ten. Swim in our indoor, heated pool, shower, eat, read, watch TV, nap, eat again... Boring as hell, but the time passed.

Mother began eating again, but I’d yet to see a smile or trace of laughter from anyone in the house.

Cristian had been gone for almost a month, and even though the pain had faded enough I could function and sleep, tears tracked my cheeks daily. I’d offered to help pack up his things and donate them to the needy, but Mother wouldn’t hear of facing the truth Cristian wouldn’t ever sleep in his bed or wear the clothes in his chest of drawers and closet. It would come eventually, so I didn’t push. I just needed something to do.

Marisa continued to work out of her old bedroom, but Father wouldn’t even allow Fab to visit—or any other of my friends for that matter. I refused to cancel the photo shoots he’d scheduled for me in the hopes that Father would change his mind in the weeks ahead.

The thought of having Logan watch me work in front of a camera lit tingles between my thighs.

He’d been around, but completely shut down and unavailable after holding me that night. I’d woken in my bed the next morning, not remembering having walked back up the stairs and down the hallway or even crawling beneath my blankets.

My need for dick returned, and my vibrator wasn’t cutting it.

Logan sat in the security room off the foyer as I lay in bed. Alone. Unsatisfied. Needy. It hadn’t taken much to make him cave the first time...

I glanced over at my alarm clock, the blue numbers acting as a nightlight. Father and Mother always retired by ten. That hour had fled by, and I’d heard Marisa shut herself in her room across the hallway at least a half-hour earlier while I’d been reading my favorite author’s newest MC novel. The dirty-talking hero and the first sex scene had me reaching for my vibrator.

But I needed more.

Nibbling my lower lip, I slid out of bed, listening at the door with my ear pressed against it.

Logan would know the second I slipped into the hallway. Would he meet me in the foyer again or ignore me, thinking I needed a late-night snack as I’d done twice before in the previous weeks when unable to eat dinner over Father’s bitching?

Time to find out.

I turned the knob and eased the door open, slipping into the quiet hallway with a slow exhale. Door once more silently shut behind me, I crept down the hallway to the balcony overlooking the foyer.

No Logan, I noted, my bare feet cold on the wooden treads. The security room/closet’s door stood cracked open a good six inches, and I could see Logan’s thigh where he sat at the desk. His fingers tapped on his knee as I reached the landing and started his way.

I pushed in the door, and he finally turned to look up at me.
