Logan looked down at her, undecided. Something was telling him that he should stay and discuss what had just happened in the bedroom. But the look in her eyes was pleading with him to understand.

Relenting, at least for now, he sighed heavily. It went against every instinct inside of him, but his hands dropped from his hips and he pulled her closer, ignoring the man droning on through the cell phone, completely unaware that his listener was focused on something else. “Fine,” he grumbled. “I’ll pick you up for breakfast tomorrow.” With that, he bent down and kissed her, just a brief kiss, but she still felt it all the way down to her toes. And he knew it too!

Thankfully, he grabbed his jacket from the chair on which he’d tossed it earlier and walked to the door. The doorbell rang three more times as his hand rested on the doorknob and he looked back at her, a dark eyebrow lifted as if he were questioning the sanity of opening the door to someone so rude.

But Gaia had already lifted her cell phone to her ear and was partially listening to her boss relay details about the consulting agreement he’d negotiated with Steele Industries for her services. She didn’t catch all of the particulars because she was too intent on trying to mentally avoid the standoff between her brother and the man who had stormed into her life, even though she kept trying to push him out of it.

On any other day, she would have resented the strange look between herself and…whatever Logan might be in her life…but at this particular moment, she couldn’t even interpret it. Between her boss talking on the phone, Logan standing here in front of her and her own flustered memories of what he’d just done to her not to mention her brother on the other side of the door who was going to be furious about everything, she couldn’t really figure out all of the right moves. Not right now.

The world was too chaotic and she was mentally bracing for her brother’s furious reaction when Logan opened the door.

Sure enough, an incredibly impatient Freddy was right there, about to ring the doorbell again. The startled look on his angry face was priceless! He stared up at Logan who silently glared right back down at him, not giving an inch.

There was a short, tense standoff between the two men, one overly large and muscular, the other just an average guy, but neither moved. The standoff lasted for several strained moments, but finally Logan stepped forward and, thankfully, Freddy backed away, making room for Logan’s departure.

A moment later, Logan gave her a look that warned her that their conversation was not over. Gaia swallowed past the lump in her throat, since they really hadn’t had much of a conversation tonight. It had been…Logan had just…

Gaia closed her eyes for a moment, trying to block the past half hour from her life. It might have happened, but she didn’t need to acknowledge it.
