Chapter 15

Logan

It had been two days since he’d seen Cassandra. They’d met up to watch a movie — his favorite Christmas flick, Die Hard. Tucked together on her couch, with her legs draped over his lap, it had been so simple, so easy. She’d cracked jokes through the whole thing, which would have annoyed him had it been anyone else, but with Cassandra he’d found himself laughing along with her. Her vibrant smile had let him relax, and he’d started quoting the movie to her in time with the characters, which only made her laugh more. They’d started making out as Hans Gruber fell from Nakatomi Plaza and ended the night in her bed for another round of mind-blowing sex. It hadn’t been a fancy date, hadn’t been spontaneous or adventurous, but it had been so damn good.

Everything was just… better around Cassandra Moreira.

He was better around her.

Which was why he’d tried to see her again, even for lunch, but other than the selfies she’d sent him via text he hadn’t laid eyes on her smile in two miserable days. He knew he couldn’t spend every night with her, and it wasn’t like he could expect it. They were just starting to test the waters on this dating thing… and she had a life. She had other people who wanted to see her, catch up with her since she was finally in town for a few weeks.

She had friends.

Growling under his breath, Logan turned away from the shitstorm on his computer screen to stare out the window at the bustle of downtown L.A. The conversation they’d had in his playroom had been playing in his head on repeat, like a low hum in the back of his mind that wouldn’t shut up and leave him the fuck alone.

At first, he’d pushed the whole bullshit idea aside. He wasn’t like Cassandra. He wasn’t warm and outgoing. He was serious, an introvert, and he’d never needed another person — a friend — to make his life feel complete. People took time, and for the majority of the human population he wasn’t willing to invest the time or energy in them that a friendship required. Corporate dinners and events were always miserable and draining, so why should he volunteer to do that shit in his free time? It was stupid.

Yet, her words kept coming back to haunt him.

Every time he entered his study, he saw the photos she’d mentioned. His solo trips to Dubai, China, Cape Town, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Thailand, and more… They’d always been nice memories. Now they were like an echo chamber, repeating her words, asking him why he hadn’t gone with someone. Anyone.

But it wasn’t like he’d had a lot of options.

He’d hated the pompous assholes at Yale, and when he’d started working for his father, everyone steered clear of him. Warren Chisholm had not been well liked within his own company, and the stain of his harsh demeanor had followed Logan for years, keeping everyone at arm’s length.

And then he’d died, and Logan had taken over the company — which hadn’t helped things.
