Page 106 of Staying Selfless

“I’m going to marry you,” I tell her with another thrust, causing her back to arch as if my words alone are going to make her come. “We are going to do this forever.”

“Yes,” she moans into my ear, partly agreeing with me and partly unable to hold back her sounds from the way her body feels.

I don’t know what it is, but this insanely connected sex is causing me to say everything on my mind right now, and the honesty is building both of our releases.

“You’re it for me.”

Logan’s body tightens, her warm walls contracting around me. “Yes, Eli.”

I push into her a couple more times, Logan’s hands gripping my back as her pretty lips form an ‘O’ while she comes undone. I come right then with her as our eyes stay connected, saying everything without using a single word.

But because I’m high as fuck on this girl, I say a few more words that I instantly regret.

“I want you to be the mother of my children.”

It’s the absolute fucking truth, so that’s not why I regret saying it. I regret the words leaving my mouth because of the shocked and scared expression that overtakes Logan’s beautiful face.

“What?” she asks with wide eyes, her high ending real quick.

My cock is still inside of her, and my body is still hovering over hers as Logan frantically searches my face, wondering if I really just said that.

I guess right now might not be the best time to drop the bomb about the fact that I want to have kids with her, seeing as I just came inside of her, but the moment is here, so I suppose the conversation is happening regardless.

“Logan—”

My ringing phone interrupts me as Logan gently pushes me off so she can get up. She hurries her bare feet into our room, leaving me naked on the living room floor.

“It’s Marc,” she announces from the bedroom, coming back to the doorway with my phone in hand.

She tosses it my way, perfectly landing in my palm. I don’t look down at the screen. I couldn’t give a fuck what my brother wants right now. All I can do is keep my eyes on my girl, trying to get a read on her, but she turns away and heads into the bathroom.

Fuck.

I knew I would talk to her about children at some point, but that was not the right fucking time. I was going to ease into the subject, maybe on a night where we had a couple of drinks in us, pulling the honestly and truth from her about her reasoning to not have kids.

But not when I was inside of her.

I fall back with a defeated sigh, my head resting on the blanket below. It’s not lost on me that sometimes confessions are made while in the heat of the moment, but it’s typically declarations of unannounced love.

I might be the first man in history to beg his woman for children while in the throes of passion.

My phone dings with a text from my brother telling me that they’re ready for a ride home from the slopes. Standing from the ground, I make my way to our bathroom before gently knocking on the door.

“Logan,” I softly say from behind the wooden barrier, but she doesn’t respond. “I’m going to go pick up Marc and Ali from the ski resort. Do you want to come with me?” I ask, hoping the car ride will give us time to speak before she gets too in her head.

“No, I’m going to stay here.”

I rest my head on the door, closing my eyes. “Baby, are you okay?”

She takes a moment to respond, and I can hear the deep breath she inhales. “Yeah. I just need a minute,” she says, but her words are laced with panic and fear.

Chapter 28

Eli

“You and Logan didn’t have to be all weird last night for our sake.” Marc casually leans up against the counter while I cook us breakfast. “Just because I was pretending like it wasn’t Valentine’s Day didn’t mean that you guys had to.”

“We weren’t pretending anything,” I tell him as I add a bunch of leftover chopped veggies from pizza night into the scramble I’m making for my dad and us, seeing as the girls went out for breakfast together before their nail appointment.
