Logan’s bed really was the best—soft sheets, an abundance of pillows, and fluffy comforters he’d draped over me. Far more luxury than one person needed, yet I’d been powerless to do more than drift away on the cloud of good feelings post-sex. I woke up from my nap, not sure how long I’d slept, but more content than I’d been in a long time. So much so that it was almost unsettling, how good I felt. The most amazing smell was drifting into the bedroom—tomatoes, basil, something Italian, I bet.

Pulling on my jeans first, I went in search of Boy Wonder and whatever he was making. At a certain point, hunger won out over principles and resolutions to not let myself get attached to his cooking. And right then, my stomach was rumbling.

“That smells incredible,” I said as I entered the small kitchen. He had on some soft music and was stirring a pot with a little smile on his face. Like me, he was in jeans, no shirt, and bare feet. So fucking adorable. And I wasn’t supposed to be thinking that, but it was true, and I was still buzzing on endorphins from the scene and couldn’t push the thought away.

“Thank you.” His grin was dazzling, and before I realized what he was after, he’d abandoned his stirring in favor of trapping me between the door frame and counter. Standing like this, I realized for the first time that we were very nearly the same height. His slighter build was deceptive and—

Whoa. His lips slid over mine. This was unexpected, and it had been so damn long since I’d been kissed that all I could do was gasp. I maybe could have handled an aggressive I’m-gonna-own-your-ass kiss easier, but while assertive, Logan was painstakingly gentle and cautious. But not timid or fleeting, either. No, this was an exploration. Little slides and sips and sighs, each of which melted another layer of the icy armor I wrapped myself in.

“What was that?” I asked as he pulled back with a grin.

“Long overdue.” There was a softness around his eyes that made me uneasy. I’d known that his first time topping might rattle loose some feelings, and I didn’t need him to go getting any romantic ideas about what this wasn’t. But before I could set him straight, he continued, “And you complimented my cooking spontaneously. That’s a first. Figured I better shut you up before you came to your senses.”

“Lucky for you, you fucked me stupid. I’m too hungry to turn you down.” More than hunger for whatever he was making. I was too starved for attention like his, too long without kisses. And when he leaned in again for another kiss, I met him eagerly, letting him nip and lick and deepen the kiss to something that revealed how damn hungry I really was.

“Fuck. You’re going to make me burn the sauce.”

“Can’t have that.” I pushed him away. I needed a moment to collect myself anyway. I had no business kissing him, adding complications to an already complicated…whatever this was.
