maneuvered himself down the bed, kissing her navel, her pelvis and then he deftly removed her panties. He angled his head down one leg where his mouth began blowing hot air on the insides of her thighs. The pressure he created between his mouth and his breath had her clenching her abdominal muscles in ecstasy. His mouth found her sweet spot and she was once again drugged by his sugarcoated sex spell.
How could she have been blind to this feeling for almost all of her adult life? His tongue continued to assault her body and she no longer cared about the embarrassment of being fully exposed to him. Her legs fell apart farther and she was soon filled with one finger and then two. The combination of his tongue and his fingers had her falling over the edge faster than the first go-round.
In bliss, her ears registered his name coming from her lips. She managed to squint open her eyes. “That was incredible.”
“Indeed.”
His devilish grin and the glint in his eye, made her laugh, “I can't believe I’ve been missing this.”
He kissed the inside of her leg, licked her thin line of hair above the apex of her thighs and slowly made his way back into her arms. His lips glistened like diamonds and she was drawn to his mouth where she kissed her juices from his lips. Dang, this felt too good. His lean body pressed against hers, his erection against her womanhood, the light in his eyes, had her wishing they would have more time together. More time like this. Without interruptions, without New York…without Lucy.
“Logan, what about Lucy?” It just spilled from her mouth. How could she have forgotten such a thing? And why had she remembered at a time like this? She was a moron to even think he would want more than Japan with her. He had a life in Colorado…someone he was seeing.
“Hey, hey. I can already see the wheels turning. Settle down.” His tone was placating. “I'm not seeing her anymore. I stopped.”
He didn't elaborate and she didn't want to ask. This moment was too good.
“What about you and Brody?”
She laughed but this time she no longer felt the need to stick up for him and there was no point correcting Logan. Instead, she answered honestly. “He never returned any of my calls. I’m done.”
“So, where does this leave us?”
She wanted to tell him that it left them at the beginning. But with him moving to Manhattan, she swallowed down those words and told him the truth. One she was already not wanting to see the end of. “It leaves us with Japan.”
Chapter Twenty-Three
The cherry blossom trees were much more than she had expected. There were endless cascades of pink and white petals that filled hundreds of trees. It took her breath away. Gazing at the blossoms gave her the surreal feeling of watching falling snow, much like at home.
After last night, it was impossible to ignore the sexual tension between her and Logan, still emanating from the surface like a volcano ready to burst. Every touch, every glance, she felt the waves of desire pouring out of him. Walking along the rows of trees, it never occurred to her last night that she had been the only one pleasured. But now, seeing his beautiful face in the day light and the heavy gazes he threw her way, she couldn’t seem to ignore it.
“Come on.” He tugged her arm to a nearby tree and sat down in the grass, pulling her with him.
“Aren't you supposed to…well, be satisfied too? Like how I was last night?” She couldn't possibly look him in the eye while awaiting his answer. Her gaze traveled up along the trees, losing herself in the layers of blossoms as she pretended he wasn’t looking at her.
“Last night was all about you, Gabriella. It's always going to be all about you,” he teased. “We have all night tonight and I fully intend to introduce you to the concept of how to please your partner and at the same time please yourself.”
Even wearing her windbreaker, she shivered at his words. She had no doubt whatsoever he would, and could, come through on that promise.
She finally met his gaze. Her breathing hitched as his hands trailed heat marks along her wrists and his eyes set her soul aflame. She ignored the burgeoning question in her heart of how she was going to possibly give this up when it was only just beginning.
Logan had
