Chapter 18

Gia struggled to waken. She felt disoriented. Obviously, she was in her own bed—which in itself was confusing enough. She never slept here. Or at least so seldom that when she did, it spoke to needs other than sleep. Such as coming home to change clothes and being too tired to go back to her office. Burying her face in the pillow, she inhaled the heady scent of sex . . . and Logan. Which brought her hard up against the reality that was the most befuddling about her present circumstances. That being that until last night, the few times she had slept in her bed she had always been alone, never with a lover. And most certainly not with a lover like Logan. The fragrance of his subtly expensive cologne mingled with the riveting odor of their combined musk shot a wave of intoxicating sensations dancing across her thighs, then settled in her core.

Grabbing one of the pillows from the head of the bed, she shoved it between her legs, hoping to quiet the untoward sensations threatening to undo her. Remembering the wild night that she’d had, it was hard enough to acknowledge that Logan had broken into her home. But after telling her how angry he was with her and how much she’d hurt him, he’d essentially accosted her—taken her in ways she hadn’t known were possible. All of which should have infuriated her at his overbearing arrogance. And it did, at least until she admitted that he had reason to be angry with her. And until he set about teaching her what it meant to be his woman. He’d followed up on his arrogant claim that she was his in ways that even now had her body fighting to come back to earth. The memory of him taking her against the wall and then over and over again in this bed confirmed that Logan didn’t make empty threats or empty promises. If ever a man made good on his threats and promises to her, it was Logan, the man she admitted had taken over her life.

At that moment, she heard the low rumble of voices coming from the kitchen. The shivering sensations streaking between her legs confirmed that the deeper of the voices was Logan’s. Assuming that Ben was with him, Gia forced herself to get out of bed. While she would wait until she had him alone, she fully intended to take on Ben, who had more than betrayed her. Good God, Ben had even told Logan what those smarmy, upscale women had said about her. Their ugly aspersions were hurtful enough without Logan knowing what they’d said. But what had infuriated Logan wasn’t what they’d said but that she’d believed their disparagements, particularly how Savannah had characterized their relationship. Wrapping a silky robe around her, she headed for the kitchen, determined to take charge of her life. It only took striding through the doorway to know how far from reality that misbegotten assumption was.

Logan leapt to his feet when he saw her.
