“Yes, Logan.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and stared into his eyes. “We’re going to be together.”

He smiled a slow smile.

God help her.

God help them both.

Chapter Twenty-Six

LOGAN

Jupiter sat astride logan’s lap at the breakfast table, her eyes twinkling with laughter as she fed him a forkful of omelet.

“You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?” she teased.

He chewed and swallowed. “How can you tell?”

“You haven’t stopped grinning since we sat down to eat.”

Technically he’d been grinning since last night when she agreed to be his girlfriend. Now that they were officially a couple, his grin was in serious danger of becoming a permanent fixture on his face. He was so fucking happy he wanted to shout from the rooftops. No other woman had ever had such a powerful effect on him. It was scary and amazing at the same time.

Jupiter had new employee orientation at ten, so they’d slept in a little later. After taking a steamy shower together, they’d gotten dressed and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. They’d cooked side by side, kissing and playfully bumping hips between whisking eggs and frying bacon.

“You have a really awesome place, Logan,” Jupiter marveled. “These views are to die for.”

He followed her gaze to the surrounding windows that overlooked downtown. He did have amazing views. But for all its expensive furnishings and stunning vistas, the penthouse had never been anything more than a place to lay his head. Since he was on the road half the time, it had never really felt like a home. Until now.

Jupiter fed him another bite of omelet and he returned the favor, his cock twitching as her plush lips closed around the fork. She was straddling him, her legs dangling on either side of his. She was so short that her feet didn’t touch the floor. Didn’t even come close. Good things definitely came in small packages.

He leaned forward, his lips nuzzling her jaw. “I could get very used to this.”

She grinned. “I could get very used to your master bathroom, particularly that huge soaking tub and multi-head spa shower. Ooh, and those heated floors.” She sighed dreamily. “It’s like having your own personal luxury spa.”

Logan eyed her suspiciously. “Are you just using me for my bathroom?”

“Um, pretty much.”

“What!” He playfully munched on her neck, making her squeal with laughter. God, he loved that sound. It fed his broken soul in every way.

Having her at his place felt so right that he was seriously tempted to ask her to move in with him. But he knew that would be premature. It hadn’t even been a day since she’d agreed to date him. He didn’t want to scare her off by proposing that they shack up together. But that didn’t stop him from fantasizing about it.

He could already see them having breakfast together when he wasn’t on the road, putting groceries away, curling up on the couch and watching movies. He could see them playing footsie under the dinner table, slow dancing to something bluesy, making love long into the night. He could see them laughing and talking until the wee hours of the morning, and he could see her greeting him at the door with a radiant smile when he came home from an away game. He’d get to experience what Sergei, Reid and Viggo—

“All gone,” Jupiter announced in a singsong voice.

“What?” Logan looked down at their empty plates and frowned. “Where’d all the food go?”

She laughed. “Don’t tell me you’re still hungry, Logan. Not after you inhaled an omelet, a bowl of oatmeal, two slices of wheat toast and bacon.”

He grinned. “I’m not hungry anymore, but I don’t want breakfast to be over. I was enjoying the whole dining experience, having you sit on my lap while we feed each other.” His grin stretched. “I think we should eat like this all the time.”

She lifted an eyebrow. “Even at restaurants?”

“Yup. Even there.”

“So we can draw even more attention to ourselves? I don’t think so.” There was a slight edge to her voice.

He knew she still wasn’t comfortable with the idea of dating a high-profile athlete. She hated having people stare at her and take pictures without her consent. She was giving up her privacy to be with him. Her tremendous sacrifice touched him deeply and made him grateful beyond words.
