Loving Logan - Sammi Cee Page 0,37
room, then while Logan gave Jakey his bath, I cleaned up, and then we all met in Logan’s room where we took turns reading a book to Jakey. Sometimes the little con-artist even managed to get an extra story out of me.
Unlocking the door with the key Logan had given me when I expressed concern over him always leaving the door unlocked—to which he rolled his eyes, but hey, bad people watch for patterns—I was surprised when I made it all the way to the living room without Jakey running to greet me with a hug around my legs. “Logan? Jakey?” I called.
Logan sauntered down the stairs in a tight pair of jeans, and a steel gray long-sleeved shirt rolled up to his elbows. Lord, my man was hot. As much as I adored his big heart, it didn’t hurt my feelings that he made such a ruggedly handsome picture with his towering height, that sexy as sin beard, and those lickable tattoos. “Hey. Good, you’re still dressed for work.”
“What’s going on? Where’s Jakey?”
He got all up in my space and leaned down and kissed me, drawing me in close. The feel of his solid form under my hands just kept getting hotter every time I touched him. I held onto his biceps for balance as he assaulted my mouth in a way that had my dick plumping up in a totally inappropriate way for a night at home with the little one. Finally, his moist lips separated from mine with a pop. “Surprise.”
I glanced around and still no Jakey. “What?”
“My parents are feeding Jakey tonight so that we can go to dinner just the two of us.”
“Really? Are you okay with that?”
Logan bent down and nuzzled into the side of my neck, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. “Yeah. I want to take you out to dinner. You’re so good to us, and I know I’ve been hesitant about leaving Jakey, but we need some adult time.”
I kissed his temple. “As psyched as I am about having you to myself, don’t ever think for one minute that I consider your nephew an imposition or that I feel like we’re stuck at home because of him. I’m perfectly content being here with you two.”
Logan kissed my neck, and then I felt the warm heat of his tongue licking across my skin before he moaned and pulled back. “We better go before I start begging you to have your way with me.” The adoration in his gaze, even as he teased, caused my breath to hitch as the knowing that I was staring at my future clicked into place—my heart and mind in total agreement. “Don’t you think I know that? But Mom and I have been talking about it. J.J. and Haley tried to make time for date night, and they were his parents. Plus, the easiest way to encourage Jakey to have healthy relationships is to demonstrate them.”
“I’m not sure I think Jakey’s ready for a relationship quite yet, Logan,” I teased. “I think we need to get him out of pull-ups before we’re worried about that.”
Logan tickled my side—a less than handy fun-fact my brother and Shane had decided to share with him. “So, you wanna go out with me or what?”
“I’d love to.”
“Bobby, the bartender I was working with the night we met, told me that the food here is amazing, and it hasn’t been open long, so it’s still somewhat of a hidden treasure,” Logan said as I held the door open for him to another bar and grill on the other side of town from where he worked.
“That’s cool. I’m good with whatever.” I clasped his hand firmly in mine.
“You don’t mind it’s not a fancier place, right? Mom and I only decided tonight that they were keeping Jakey for dinner, and since I didn’t make a reservation anywhere…” He shrugged his broad shoulders.
He’d grown so comfortable with me over the weeks that I’d forgotten how attractive he was when he was nervous. “You’re adorable.” I raised his hand to my lips and kissed the back. “I would’ve been happy going through a drive-thru at a fast-food restaurant as long as we were together.”
“Well, I think we can do better than that for our first grown-up date.”
With fake indignation, I gasped. “What’re you talking about? Our first grown-up date was at the diner the night we met.”
Logan brushed our arms together, and the blush I loved so much worked from under the side
