As I follow her into the living room, I catch myself admiring the view. I like what I see, which totally freaks me out. It’s not just the way she fits into her little shorts, or how her tank top shows off her slim waist, or the way her long, blonde hair falls halfway down her back—it’s also how she walks with leisurely confidence and chatters incessantly, like she’s forgotten how alluring she can be. I’m starting to learn that when she gets comfortable, she takes her armor off. Without the short dresses and the high heels, without the jewelry, she’s just Logan.

I’m doing more than getting used to her. I’m getting to know her. She’s also getting to know me. I can hardly believe the familiarity that exists in our conversations now. I told her that I couldn’t believe that in two weeks we helped encourage Daphne and Trevor to admit what they wanted with each other; but the real surprise is the evolution in our relationship.

“How about this one?” She’s crouched down in front of Ryan’s movie collection. When I see which one she holds in her hand, a grin spreads across my face.

“Why, M, I don’t think you could have picked a more fitting selection,” I tell her, taking the latest James Bond film from her grasp as I kneel down to get everything powered up.

“Oh, are these for me?”

I look over my shoulder and see her spreading the blankets I set out earlier over the couch. “Actually, they’re for me,” I say as I stand to help her. “I’ll take the couch. You can sleep in my room.”

She looks up at me in surprise. “Really?”

“Really.”

She stands up straight and rests her hands on her hips. “Did Daphne tell you to do that?”

“No,” I insist as I finish making up the couch. I sit when I’m done and smirk at her. “A gentleman surrenders his bed when a lady is present.”

She smiles and then plops down into the space next to me. “You’re really good at this, did you know that?”

“I told you,” I say as I start the movie.

“You know you have to cuddle with me, right? In case Ryan gets back and finds us here.”

I’m no longer surprised with how quick I am to acquiesce to her demands. Instead, I simply lift my arm and wait for her to rest against my side. She does so without a moment’s hesitation and I drape my arm around her, keeping her close. I try my best not to think about how easy it has been to fall into this routine with her. I focus all of my remaining energy on zoning in on the movie—but she’s too distracting. The way she smells, the way she feels, the way she responds to what’s happening on the screen. Soon, my thoughts are completely consumed by her.

I want to kiss her.

It’s been a desire that’s become harder and harder to deny over the last few days. At first, I thought it was just because it’s been so long since I’ve been with anyone.
