Logan
She was already here when I arrived.Just like the other week.
It’s like deja vu three weeks later.Exactly three weeks later.
Monica is even dressed up in the same sort of clothes.Almost like she thought she’d give me three weeks to work out whatever spell of shit that had turned my sights back to Quinn, and now she’s back to reinstate her claim on me.
She smiles when I get out of my car and that smile oozes seduction as I make my way up the path to her.
I’m not actually sure what I’m doing with her yet.
Turning her away again is at the forefront of my mind.But why would I do that if there was no reason to.
It’s not like I’m in a relationship, or like I have someone I need to be mindful of.
Quinn wants professionalism and Ethan quite rightly said the situation is not my concern.
So why would I turn away a night of fun with Monica?
“Monica,” I say. “You’re here.”
“Can’t blame a girl who misses fucking you.”
I don’t know a man alive who wouldn’t appreciate a woman with a dirty mouth as dirty as hers.At least with her you never have to guess what she wants.
“Is that right?”
“You know it is. I decided to check to see if you’d come to your senses,” she states when I stop a breath away from her.
“Come to my senses?” I smirk.“Now what would make you think I’d lost my senses.”
“You turned me down Logan Savage.Looks like you’ve come back to your senses though from the way you’re looking at me.”
“Maybe I have.”
“That’s good, because I want you all night,” she coos with heated seduction and runs her finger over my chest.
I guess this means I’ve made up my mind.Or, rather my body has done it for me.
I don’t want her, and I never wanted the others either.After Quinn and I first broke up, it took me three years before I slept with another woman.When I did it was like I unleashed some animal who thought it was good medicine to fuck to forget.
“Should we go inside?” she asks.
I take out my keys and then my phone rings.
I only reach for it because I figured it must be Ethan.When I left him at the station he said he might call if something else came up.I never expected him to because I thought he’d be knee deep trying to work his way through all the evidence we found in that basement, and dealing with the woman we found.
When I look at the screen and see the person calling me is Quinn I freeze up.
She’s never called me before.It wasn’t even she who gave me her number, whereas I’d given her mine.I’d saved her number from the contact sheet I got from Mr. Mulligan.
After yesterday, there’s no way I’d expect a call from her and not at this hour.
I have half a mind to ignore the call, but fuck me, I’m perpetually screwed when it comes to this woman.So even if I thought to ignore the call, my body would never allow me to follow through.
I answer the phone much to Monica’s dismay.
“Quinn,” I say into the phone and Monica sets her hands on her hips.
