“I…don’t know,” she admitted. “Honestly, Logan, I’m still trying to figure us out. I…I don’t want to rush things.”

“I won’t rush you.” His voice deepened. “But you need to know that I want you, Meadow. All of you. And I’m not going anywhere.”

She shivered at his words and the possessive intent in his eyes.

He stared back at her, letting her absorb the full impact of his declaration as he held her face between his hands.

“Puedo besarte?” he said in a husky voice. “Can I kiss you now?”

She smiled. “Sí, por favor.”

His lips curled up in that sexy grin that turned her insides to molasses. Then he leaned down and covered her mouth with his.

Heat rushed through her and she wrapped her arms around his neck, melting into his intoxicating kiss.

Maybe what happened in Vegas didn’t always have to stay in Vegas….

Chapter Twenty-Four

MEADOW

Gamenetic was located in the Denver Tech Center, a sprawling business park southeast of Denver. It was home to more than sixty major companies spanning several industries.

When Meadow reported to work on her first day, there was a humongous bouquet of flowers waiting for her at the reception desk.

“Oh,” she gasped in surprise. “What beautiful flowers!”

Phoebe, the receptionist, was all smiles and dancing eyes. “They were delivered first thing this morning.”

Meadow lowered her nose to the flowers, breathing in the wonderful scent. Tucked inside the bouquet was a gold box of Belgian chocolate truffles.

Delighted, she turned and beamed at Dirk. “Thank you for the welcome gift—”

He looked sheepish. “Uh, it’s not from us.”

“It’s not?” Puzzled, Meadow reached for the small white card nestled between the fragrant blossoms. She could feel Dirk and Phoebe staring at her as she slid the card from the envelope.

Hey, beautiful, the note read in Logan’s bold handwriting. Congratulations on your new job. I know you’ll do amazing things there. Thank you for an unforgettable birthday. I’ll cherish the memories forever. Yours Always, Logan

As Meadow’s heart turned to complete mush, it was all she could do not to swoon to the floor.

“A secret admirer?” Dirk teased.

She blushed, biting her lip. “It’s from Logan.”

“Logan?” Phoebe’s eyes morphed into heart emojis. “You mean Logan Brassard?”

Dirk grinned. “That’s the one.”

Phoebe beamed at Meadow. “What a lucky girl!”

“I know.” Meadow smiled softly. “I am.”

The huge bouquet had lured several curious onlookers from their offices. Among them was a bespectacled brunette in her twenties. She shyly greeted Meadow and introduced herself as Cassidy, one of the company’s UI artists.

“UI stands for user interface,” Dirk explained to Meadow. “Cassidy designs and implements interfaces for our video games. We’re very lucky to have her on our team.”

Meadow smiled at Cassidy. “It’s really nice to meet you.”
