Joey

Being with Logan like this is almost too much to handle. Emotions surge in my chest, like happiness and want and love are going to explode out of me in a bouquet of color.

His hands are in my hair and on my rear, and mine are on his broad shoulders. I can’t tell what’s hotter, the water rushing over us or the electricity sizzling between our bodies.

We meld together, his tongue thrusting against mine as we slam into the shower wall and laugh.

“Are you okay?” Concern and affection shine through his eyes as he runs his thumb over my bottom lip.

I nod, wanting to tell him I’ve never been so happy before. That I don’t know what’s swirling in my heart, but it’s too big for me to name.

I know it’s too early to say such things, so I don’t, but being with him like this tonight will be enough.

Maybe it was seeing him handle Renee in the kitchen earlier this evening that has me ready to set aside my fears and push ahead. I’d come back from the beach to grab another towel and I saw her hit on him, shamelessly suggesting they could screw around behind my back.

Nothing could’ve kept the smile off my face when he blew her off.

It made me realize that I’d overreacted this afternoon. Neither of us can control our past, but Logan seems serious about giving us a try, and he’d never deliberately hurt me. I don’t want to be the jealous girl who goes off the deep end anytime another woman talks to her guy. I saw how that green-eyed monster tanked my parents’ relationship. That’s the fastest way to strangle something good.

And then he scooped me into his lap at the beach and spoke softly to me all night, whispering in my ear, holding me close. By the time we reached our room and he suggested a shower, I couldn’t help but ask him to join me. Another first. One I only want with him.

I always imagined this moment would make me feel vulnerable. Getting naked under harsh bathroom lights sounds like something I’d want to hide under a rock to avoid. But in this moment, standing before Logan and seeing how much he wants me makes me feel powerful and desired. It makes me want to shed my reserved exterior and be brave like I was last night.

I step away and take a deep breath. Reaching back to the strings on my bikini top, I slowly pull the fabric.

My bikini top falls to the floor with a wet plop, and time stretches out as I unsnap my cutoffs and slide them off with the rest of my swimsuit. A groan rumbles from Logan’s chest as he studies me from head to toe. “Damn.”

I resist the urge to hide myself and let him take his fill while water beats across my skin. I don’t want to be the girl who’s afraid of her shadow anymore.

The next moment, I’m in his arms, skin to skin against his hard chest.
