fire. Carefully, as if he’s handling a piece of particularly fragile china, Logan lifts my hand until my wrist reaches his mouth. He feathers his lips on my already sensitized skin, and this sends me over the edge, a moan escaping my lips. He cups my cheek with his other hand and I languidly give in to his touch, craving for more. His fingers trail from my cheek down to my jaw, then around to the back of my neck. Rubbing his thumb against the skin there, he pulls me to him.
    This kiss is different than the first one. It’s slow and gentle, but it dazzles me nonetheless. When we break off, I struggle for breath.
    “I thought you planned to torture me and make me wait for a second kiss until our second date?”
    “Changed my mind. Besides, you already agreed to a second date.” Logan smiles, his thumb perusing the contour of my lips. “I don’t want you to date anyone else while you date me.”
    My insides melt. I wasn’t going to see anyone else anyway; it’s not who I am. Nevertheless, teasing him won’t hurt. “One date and you’re a caveman already?”
    “Oh, you’ve seen that side of me many times since we met Alex.”
    “True.”
    I watch him silently. A playful twinkle dances in his eyes, but beyond that is a glimmer of domination, which sends ripples through my body. I decide to play this for all it’s worth, because I feel naughty, and it’ll be fun to watch him get riled up. “You think two kisses give you the right to exclusivity?”
    Logan’s stance changes and his jaw ticks. “No?”
    “No, but three kisses might.”
    Logan’s tension ebbs away. “I see, bartering for another kiss.”
    Here, surrounded by darkness and quiet, I become acutely aware of the effect he has on me. Cupping the back of my head, he pushes me even closer to him. Desperate for more body-on-body contact, I climb into his lap, lacing my fingers around the back of his neck. Our groins are dangerously close to one another. His breath on my lips sends a jolt low in my body, and I lean in to kiss him. This one is explosive. He explores my mouth with his tongue at the same time he explores my body with his expert hands. They travel from my neck down to my breasts, lingering there for a sweet moment.
    My nipples turn to hard nubs under my bra, throbbing for more of his touch. As his hands move farther down, resting on my hips, I shift in his lap. My soaked thong grazes the already sensitive skin between my thighs, and I moan against his mouth. The movements of our tongues grow faster, more desperate. He pulls me hard against him until my slick flesh collides with his erection. Logan digs his fingers into my hips, groaning. Wow . Who knew petting with clothes on could be so sexy?
    We pull apart, gasping for breath.
    “Nadine.” His voice comes out rough and throaty. “I haven’t gotten hard from just a kiss since I was in high school.”
    I giggle, feeling like a wicked schoolgirl.
    “Have I earned the right to be your only date for a while?” he asks.
    “Yes.”
    “Great.” Smiling at me, he kisses my forehead. “Now, I’m going to leave, because I’m seconds away from losing my self-control.”
    “Most men wouldn’t have a problem with that.”
    “I am not most men.”
    “That’s right, you’re not,” I whisper.
    “I want to spend time with you, spoil you, and make you smile first.”
    “Why?” I ask, sincerely confused.
    “Because you deserve it. You’re fun, honest, and hardworking. I love that. It’s refreshing. You’ve had enough bad luck, Nadine. Time for that to change.”
    I gulp, moving away from his lap. “Okay.”
    While I sit on the couch, I take in his ruffled hair, his wrinkled shirt. His breathing is as labored as mine. My control snaps just by looking at him.
    “How about next Friday for that second date?”
    I nod. “Eight o’clock?”
    “I’ll pick you up.”
    I watch Logan leave while sitting on the couch, and once I’m alone I grab the laptop. The folder with my portfolio
