I didn’t expect to feel the electricity shoot up my arm when Logan’s fingers trailed along the other side to support me. I gazed at his chiselled jaw and his tousled blond hair whilst my stomach flipped in wonder. His baby blues connected with mine again. Logan seemed to have ignited a passion that had laid dormant inside me for so long that I’d forgotten what it felt like.

Had it ever felt like this?

Chapter3

Logan

Kara, that was her name.It was beautiful, and it just rolled off my tongue with ease, suiting her perfectly. Her hourglass figure, combined with that dress, made my mouth water. The moment my hands gripped her hips, my cock twitched in agreement at the sexy woman under my palms. Her luscious, chocolate brown hair was pinned to the base of her neck, and her ruby red lips… I was mesmerised.

Is this what it feels like to be attracted to a woman?

Statistically, all the signs pointed to it, but I had been wrong before, hadn’t I? Daniel had made sure I would lose with the support of our colleagues; I just hadn’t seen it coming. Serves me right for trying to mislead him in the first place.

The questions swirled in my mind unfocused and disorientated at being in a different environment until Daniel refocused the conversation, offering to grab drinks and suggesting Kara take the weight off her ankle.

Fuck, what a dickhead. I should have thought of that.

I had enjoyed women’s company previously, but it had been more nothing more than a teenage fumble. The current situation I found myself in was like a fight—a duel in my mind. Kara and Claire sat in our designated booth as Daniel dragged my attention away to help with the drinks. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from them as the pair sat, flitting looks between one another—the odd one thrown back at the pair of us—clearly pretending to remain committed to inspecting Kara’s ankle. My hands itched, wanting to be the ones teasing those straps undone— wanting to be the one running my fingers along her smooth, delicate skin as I massaged and manipulated the joint, hoping to hear her moans.

Daniel’s arms appeared, boxing me in as if he were guiding me through the crowds, dragging my mind from wherever it wandered, straight back down to reality.“Come on, focus! It’s a girl. Not like you’ve never seen one before,” he said, patting my shoulders.

“What did they want to drink again?” I was frazzled and dazed, my mouth completely parched, and I couldn’t comprehend the reason why. My emotions had never been overcome so suddenly by one person before, and all I wanted to do was march straight back in her direction and devour her mouth with mine. How had someone gotten so quickly under my skin?

The crowded space would normally have freaked me out, but instead, I craved her attention. I didn’t care how busy the place was starting to get. It was as if she was the only one who existed.

With a tray placed in my hand, my thoughts lost in another world, Daniel nudged me. “I wish I had come up with a better bet now.”

My eyes flicked up. Was he attempting to goad me?

“What would have that been, hey?” I waited for his answer.

He just chuckled, taking the drinks before walking back in the direction of the girls.

“I asked you a question?”

Daniel turned around and looked straight at me. “I bet you to go fuck Kara, and release some of that tension between you both. Maybe that red-haired friend of hers and I could have a good time ourselves then.” His confidence shone through with his challenging, raised brow.

Calm down, don’t lose it.

“You know, Daniel, you can be a real dick at times,” I snarled. I took a deep breath, praying that would help diffuse the anger boiling inside of me. How dare he? I was dumbfounded by his lack of judgement. He was winding my gears up, but I wasn’t about to succumb to his prodding here.I walked away, avoiding the confrontation, whilst Daniel couldn’t resist his taunting retaliation.

“Yep, at least I’m not scared to use it,” he said with a smug grin.

My fists squeezed together as I counted slowly to calm my tempered rage. The probability of my best friend having a new one ripped was increasing by every utterance that left his mouth. The issue was that I needed him to understand how close my top was from being blown.

“Don’t fucking push it. I mean it. I’m not like you.” The rage had to be compressed in some manner, and I stormed off towards the booth in search of the girl that had my mind in a twist.

As I reached the area, my eyes caught sight of the redhead, Claire, alone. Don’t get me wrong: she had an essence about her and was very attractive, but she didn’t captivate me like her friend.

I casually asked, “Where’s Kara gone?”

“Oh, just to the ladies. She went to freshen up.”

I suspect she was lying because she immediately blushed. She lifted her gaze to the crowd, showing me one sultry, slightly shaken lady making her way back in my direction with attitude.

Fuck! She looked hot.

I didn’t hesitate in the slightest to rearrange the rock-hard member that was attempting to escape its confined space. It was going to be a long night ahead.
