“That’s fantastic. I’m exhausted and can’t wait to get home, take a shower and just crash.”
Based on the lack of activity in the gym, we must be a few of the last people to leave for the evening. He pins me against the wall and looks into my eyes. “Gia, you could come upstairs and take a shower with me, and crash for the evening. My bed is definitely big enough for two.”
“Logan, I don’t know. Are you sure about this? I don’t want Andy and Kenzie to think we are an item since it is really against gym rules.”
“They won’t find out, trust me, Gia. This is what I want. I know I am breaking one of my most important cardinal rules, because I never bring anyone to my place, but Gia, I can’t get you out of my mind; you are there every day, all day.”
I look into his eyes, the kind a girl loses herself in, and I run everything through my mind that could go wrong. What if we become an item and then we aren’t an item? We still have to work with each other, and it could be awkward. I don’t want to jeopardize my career for a relationship that might not go anywhere.
“Logan, where do you believe this is going? You know if it goes south, shit will hit the fan and one of us will probably have to leave, and guess what, it isn’t going to be me. You need to think long and hard about this before you regret your decision.”
“Gia, I have thought about it. I haven’t slept with anyone since we got together. And I know my nickname is Man-Whore, so you can see that I have thought about this. I want you, and only you, Gia.”
I take a deep breath, knowing that if I say yes, this could be a disaster, but this man and I have some chemistry that can’t be ignored. “Okay, I am exhausted. I just want a shower, and then sleep, and I mean sleep, Logan.”
Logan throws his hands up into the air. “Okay, okay, and maybe a little dinner before you sleep. You need your strength and maybe a little more fat on those bones of yours.”

As Gia and I walk up to my apartment above the gym, I can’t believe two things. One, I broke my first cardinal rule of no babes in my apartment. And two, I told her how I felt, something very foreign to me. But Gia is going to be worth it. Now I just have to wait for her answer about becoming my Sub.
I tell Gia to shower first and then meet me in the main room for dinner. I know that Kenzie always supplies large portions of anything she drops off in the fridge, and I was right, there is enough chili for about three people in the bowl.
When Gia walks out of the bathroom, my breath is taken away. Her hair is up in a towel, and she is wearing one of my white dress shirts that I left in the bathroom for her. I knew she didn’t really have any other clothes with her, so that was the best alternative I had. I told her that I would wash her current clothes as soon as we were done with dinner, but she has another yoga outfit in her bag. At this point, I am afraid to get up from the table as she will see the large bulge pushing against my zipper. The girl has the whole package, and I would be a complete fool not to pursue all of my options with her.
“What smells so good? Did you cook?”
“Nope, Kenzie takes pity on me since they moved out and always makes extra and leaves it in my fridge a few days a week, so I don’t have to eat takeout every day.”
“How wonderful! I love to cook but never have the time right now. But after we get into a groove at the studio, I plan on making some dishes I have been waiting to try.”
“Do you want a glass of wine or something? I have a red and a white, never been opened as I am more of a beer and bourbon man.”
“I will have a glass of red, please, thank you.”
“I’m going to jump into the shower, and we can eat when I’m done, is that okay?”
“Absolutely. Mind if I watch a bit of TV while you are in the shower?”
“Sure, TV, music, whatever you like. I won’t be long,” I say and then head to the shower.
It is going to be very hard to be in the same bed with the woman of my dreams and not be able to touch her. Maybe I should get her relaxed with wine, and maybe she would change her mind, but I don’t want to be that guy. I will just have to abide by her wishes and, hopefully in the near future, I can taste paradise once again.
The morning sunshine starts to shine through the curtain, and I realize that I actually fell right to sleep after dinner. I reach over to say good morning to Gia, and I grab nothing. The other side of the bed is empty, and the apartment is completely quiet. I wonder when she left. Maybe it was for the best. I need to head over to the club this morning to get the security schedule set up for the next two weeks. But first, I need to take care of some business, so I don’t end up with blue balls.
Once I arrive at the club, I enter through the back door, entering the code I was given by Butch. I head straight to the security room and turn on the cameras, reviewing some footage from last night. The three other security guys are to arrive at 10:00 a.m. to go over not only the schedule but certain things they need to keep an eye out for while on duty. I tell them that I am not going to be starting full time for another two weeks, but wanted to get a feel for the routine.
The next two hours fly by, and I think Cosimo and Butch will be on board with the changes I am going to be implementing. As I leave the room to head to Cosimo’s office, I run into Susan.
“Hello Logan, how are you doing today?”
“Hey Susan, doing okay, just finished up a meeting with the security guys.”
“Oh yeah, I heard that you are going to be in charge of security. I know this place will be even safer than it already is with you in charge.”
“Well, we do need to keep everyone safe here; that is our main goal.”
“Are you going to be here tonight? I really need some time with a good Dom. There doesn’t seem to be anybody that meets my expectations like you do, Logan.”
