something far simpler and cozier from Carla’s memories. Thankfully he’d agreed.
    Despite the fact that he was the enemy, he continued to turn her on in ways she didn’t want to think about. She had to get her head into the game, remembering exactly whom it was she was dealing with.
    It was difficult, trying to reconcile the fact that he was an enemy of the U.S. government and she had to stop him from selling valuable and dangerous secrets and technology to other countries.
    The thought made her set her jaw as anger flashed through her. With all of that in mind she had to force herself to smile at him.
    She wondered at how easy it had been to get him to date her as Carla, even after Carla had left him for another man. But she’d had a couple of weeks to work on him and she apparently had done a good job of it. At times he’d seemed torn and she wondered if he still thought of Tori. Of her.
    When he was about to get into the car, he’d looked at her for a moment as if he’d seen a ghost. Like earlier today, it was as if he’d seen straight through her.
    As he drove to the restaurant she found herself drinking in every bit of him from his over six-foot frame to the power in his very presence. How could he be one of the bad guys? He seemed so honest, so straightforward, that it was hard to bend her mind around him being the devil himself.
    His dark hair was a careless casual style, his jaws smooth-shaven and she had caught the scent of the shaving cream he’d used. She’d seen the body beneath the shirt and suit jacket and she wanted to touch it all over again. She thought about how good it would be when she took his cock into her mouth and sucked on it.
    He glanced over at her and she met his blue eyes. Tingles traveled through her belly and on down, straight between her thighs.
    When they reached the restaurant, Logan assisted her in getting out of the car. While driving he had called ahead to make reservations and had canceled his reservation at the other restaurant. Once the car was valet parked and they were inside the place, the hostess showed them to a corner table with a great view of the city.
    Over a glass of wine, they made the usual small talk that couples tended to do when dating. He asked her about her family and she told him she hadn’t talked to anyone in a while, which was true. Carla wasn’t very good about keeping in touch with anyone. He, on the other hand, made a point of staying in contact with his brother, something that Tori did as well with her own brothers.
    From what she’d learned of Carla from her available memories and activities, she wasn’t a very sociable person and tended to be on the shallow side. That had made things a little more difficult in getting Logan to fall for her again, but not insurmountable.
    “Something about you is different.” He studied her as if he’d just read her mind. “Whatever it is, I like it.”
    Warmth flowed through Tori’s—Carla’s—veins. She smiled. She should probably try to be a little less open and friendly—not quite a cold bitch, but not as warm as she had been to him. But she needed to get in good with Logan and being more like her real self seemed to be appealing to him.
    “I’m just me,” she said, “stripped down to what I am on the inside.” Wasn’t that the truth. “I’ve been keeping up with appearances for far too long.” As he watched her, she hoped she hadn’t blown anything.
    He raised his wine glass. “To being who we truly are.”
    She clinked her glass with his then took a sip of the fine wine. She normally drank beer, but a person could get used to wine as good as this.
    Soon he had her laughing over his childhood exploits, which was something she couldn’t share as Carla. Only her memories within the last few years could be accessed—especially anything over ten years or so was out. She managed to change the subject before it was her turn to relate any stories of her own. She asked him questions about how
