The Mighty Quinns: Logan. Kate Hoffmann
swam over to the ladder and then slowly climbed it to the pool deck. She grabbed a towel from a nearby bin and wrapped it around her body, then handed one to Logan. He hurried after her, and when he reached her side, he took her hand. They walked back to the stable, Logan picking up his jeans and her robe along the way.
A cool breeze rustled the trees, and goose pimples prickled Sunny’s damp skin. For the first time since London, she knew exactly what she wanted. And there was no shame in it. The need to feel close to another person was a basic part of human nature, wasn’t it? And since Logan was just passing through, it made the choice even easier. There would be no messy entanglements after the fact.
Raindrops were beginning to fall by the time they reached the campervan. Logan opened the door and helped her up the steps. All the windows were open, and the sound of the rain on the roof provided a relaxing soundtrack. A tiny light near the sink provided the only illumination, casting the interior in a soft glow.
When he closed the door behind him, Sunny turned and stepped into his embrace. There was no hesitation between them, no doubt of what they both wanted, no time wasted. The towels were tossed aside, and his hands moved over her body, his touch gentle yet assured. Sunny closed her eyes and tipped her head back, letting the wonderful sensations wash over her.
When his lips finally found hers, Sunny opened to the determined assault. He was warm and his mouth tasted sweet and when he pulled her body against his, she surrendered completely. It had been months since she’d felt any kind of connection to a man. But now that he had dropped into her life, Sunny felt desperate to experience the power and the passion, the complete and utter satisfaction.
Though there was no reason to rush, Sunny had never been one to deny herself anything she wanted. And she wanted to experience the ultimate intimacy with this man. She pulled him over to the bed that spanned the back end of the campervan.
Logan sat down on the edge and smoothed his hands around her waist. “Are you certain about this?” he murmured, pressing a kiss to her belly.
Sunny ran her fingers through his sun-streaked hair and turned his face up until his gaze met hers. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t know what I wanted,” she murmured.
He smiled and she reached down and ran her thumb across his lower lip. He was so beautiful, his hair damp from their swim, his skin smooth and deeply tanned. Falling back onto the bed, he reached into a nearby cubby and pulled out a box of condoms, setting them beside a pillow.
Sunny held out her hand, wiggling her fingers, and he pulled a package from the box and handed it to her. He held his breath as she slowly stroked his hard shaft. A low groan slipped from his throat, and he leaned back and braced himself on his elbows, his gaze fixed on her caress.
With a deft touch, she smoothed the latex over him, then crawled onto the bed, her legs straddling his hips. She couldn’t wait any longer, she craved that exquisite sensation of a man moving inside her.
Sunny closed her eyes as she slowly lowered herself on top of him. When he filled her completely, she let out a soft breath. There was nothing more perfect than this, she thought to herself. As his fingers splayed over her hips, she began to move. When Logan cupped her face in his hand, she turned into his touch and looked at him.
Their gazes locked, and Sunny watched as every reaction was reflected in his eyes. A smile curled the corners of his mouth, and she felt a tremor course through her, setting every nerve on edge. There was something about him, something sweet and warm and slightly vulnerable, that made it impossible to separate herself from the emotion bubbling up inside of her.
Another tremor assailed her body, but this time it wasn’t pleasure but fear. This connection wasn’t normal. She’d always been able to maintain a careful distance with the men she took as lovers. But for the first time in her life, she wanted to surrender everything, to let the walls fall and experience this man as if there were something more than just desire between them.
Logan pushed up from the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing his lips to a spot just above her breast. Sunny could feel her heart pounding, and the sudden shift in position bought a fresh rush of desire.
She pulled him closer, her fingers tangled in his hair. The rhythm became like a pulse between them, driving them on, pushing them both closer and closer to the edge. It was nothing she’d ever experienced before, and she fought the instinct to stop and regain her composure.
Sunny didn’t realize it until she was teetering on the brink between pleasure and release. It usually didn’t happen this way, but when the first spasm hit her, she cried out. Logan held her close as he drove into her one last time. And then they both dissolved into their climaxes, the shudders and sighs blending until she felt as if they were one body and one mind.
When they were both completely spent, Logan pulled her down beside him, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. They didn’t speak, just looked into each other’s eyes for a long time. There was something about this man that was different, something about him that touched her soul.
“I should go,” she murmured.
“You don’t have to. Stay. I’m not tired.”
She always left, she never stayed. And yet, the rules she’d set down for herself so long ago didn’t really matter now. It felt good to lie here with this man and to share something beyond the physical.
“Are you really going to sell your horse?”
Logan nodded. “Yeah. I’m taking her to Perth.”
“That’s a long drive. At least a week on the road. Why not put her on a plane?”
Logan was silent for a long time. “I guess I needed the time to get used to the fact I have to sell her. Plus, I’m saving some money.”
“Maybe you should stay here for a few days and let me try to change your mind,” she said. “I’d take good care of her.”
He chuckled softly. “That’s an interesting proposition.”
“Is it one you’d consider?”
Logan reached out and smoothed a strand of hair from her eyes. “I can’t. I’m kind of pressed for time. And I’ve already spent the down payment. The sooner I get this over with, the better.”
“I can give you the down payment,” she said. “You can give it back to him. I have money, or my father does. And Ed can buy anything he likes. Anything I like.”
He shook his head. “That’s a lovely offer, but I made a deal. I can’t go back on it. And I really need to be on my way.” He paused. “I could always stop by on the return trip.”
She smiled and snuggled closer. “I suppose that will have to do.” Sunny closed her eyes and let her body relax. For the first time in weeks, she felt content. And for now, that was enough. As for what would happen in the morning, she’d deal with that when the sun came up.
