“It’s okay, Angel let it out,” I whisper.

“I shouldn’t be here.I… I needed to warn you,” she murmurs.

I should let it go at that, but I find I can’t.I don’t know where in the hell this is going.I don’t even know what we are, but whatever else happens I want nothing but honesty between us.

“That’s not why you’re here, Angel.You knew I was leaving.That’s not why you’re here.Admit it.”

“Okay fine.That’s not why I’m here,” she huffs and her bottom lip sticks out in a pout.I can’t resist moving my finger along it, stroking it.

“Why are you here?I want to hear you say it, Angel.”

“I missed you, Logan,” she answers.

It’s a simple statement and there’s no huge meaning behind it, but knowing she missed me—like I miss her—slides deep inside of me and makes something shift.I wanted Torrent before.Now I don’t know if I can let her go.

“I missed you too,” I respond, because it feels like I should let her know she’s not alone.

“I got you all wet,” she mumbles, her hand petting my shirt.

“That’s usually my line.”

She looks up at me and rolls her eyes.Then elbows me.

“You’re such an ass, and it has not escaped my notice that you tricked me, Logan Dupree.”

“What do you mean I tricked you?”

“You got me on the bed while I was vulnerable and weak.”

“Are you saying I took advantage of you?”

“Are you going to admit it?”she asks.

I move her so she lies on top of me and our faces are close together.Her body is pressed against mine like this and even with our clothes on it feels perfect.Maybe more perfect than anything I’ve ever shared with a woman.

“That wasn’t my intention, but I’m not a damned bit sorry, Angel.”

She pulls her head back enough so she can see me clearly.Her fingers dive into my hair and she uses the pads of her fingers to press against my scalp tenderly.

“I’m not either, but I shouldn’t be here.My mind is a little messed up, Logan and my life… I have a lot to sort out right now.”

“This is not so different than the first time we met—except then I thought I was going against the Big Guy upstairs.Can’t tell you how fucking glad I am that you’re not really a nun, Angel.”

“It might be better if I was.God is probably more forgiving than Wolf.”

“You realize the way you talk about Wolf doesn’t fill me with confidence that you’re safe around him.”

“I’m fine.Wolf would never hurt me,” she defends.I frown.I can tell she truly believes that and maybe he wouldn’t hurt her—physically.Instinctively I know that right now is not the time to argue that with her.

“I guess that leaves us with one question, Angel.”

“What’s that?”

“Why are you here with me, when you’redatingWolf?”

“We seem to be going around in circles,” she sighs.“Maybe I’m here because I’m a horrible person,” she mutters, trying to avoid my eyes again.I lean up to kiss her forehead.

“I don’t believe that for a second,” I tell her and it’s the truth.I think Torrent is mixed up and been through a fucking lot.
