“Does everything revert back to sex for you, Logan?”

“I’m a man, so most things do,” he answers.“But I’m not going to lie, Torrent, I’m finding that with you I seem to think about sex even more than normal.”

“I suppose I should be flattered.”

“Is flattery going to make you strip and jump my bones?”

“Jump your bones?”I giggle.

“Well, jump just one in particular,” he answers, and he somehow wiggles his eyebrows and that makes me laugh harder.“My verybigboner.”

“You’re crazy.You know that, don’t you?”

“Crazy for you,” he jokes and it hits me right then.

I might be twenty-six years old, and I might have lived a good life, but until right now while holding Logan’s hand, I’m not sure I’ve been particularly happy.I’m happy now.Happier than I can ever remember, and the reason makes my heart quake in fear.

It’s Logan.

“Where are we going, anyway?”I ask him, doing my best tonotthink about what that revelation means.I can’t have Logan…

“We’re hiking.”

“Yeah, but where to?I thought this was lunch.I am on a time limit here, you know.”

“You said you had more time today,” he reminds me.

“Well, yeah, but I was thinking a couple of hours, not all day,” I grumble, trying to keep my panic at bay.

“I’ll get you back in time, Angel.I promise.”

“Logan—”

He turns to face me and, using our joined hands, pulls me in closer to him.

“I need you to trust me, Torrent.You don’t know me that well yet, but you need to know that I would never do anything to hurt you.I joke, babe, but I do care about you.”

I look into his eyes, his face, and I memorize it.From the slight curl in his reddish brown hair, the slight scar on his forehead and the groove under his eye that shows he smiles often.I take it all in and if I were to ask myself later, this would probably be the exact moment that I fell in love with Logan.

“Okay,” I whisper, feeling like my heart is in my throat.

It’s a feeling that stays with me, even when we reach the top of the mountain and a waterfall comes into view.

“How do you feel about skinny dipping, Angel?”

That groove under his eye deepens and his eyes twinkle.

Maybe this is when I fall in love with Logan.

“I am notskinny dipping with you, Logan,” she says, shaking her head, but for a minute I catch a look in her eyes.She may say no, but I think shewantsto say yes.It’s not much to hang my hat on, but it’s there.

“I could make you like it,” I tell her with a wink.

“Probably,” she agrees.
