it bugs me that these guys I don’t know and don’t trust have a familiarity with Parker that used to be mine.
It’s so easy with her. Conversation. Making her smile and laugh. Just being present and not feeling any kind of pressure to be or do anything other than me.
And as I fall asleep in the empty darkness of my hotel room, my screen lights up again and again with reminders that someone in this world actually cares about me. Even if I don’t deserve it.
I’m disappointed. And instantly concerned. Did they walk to their cars together? Did they ride together or alone? Has the crime rate increased in Harvest Hollow? Does Parker know self-defense? Should I go out there?
Getting Logan to talk about himself was always like trying to pull teeth … from an angry dragon using a pair of chopsticks while wearing mittens. Guess he’s still the king of deflection.
“I am not a toy to be shared or fought over. Not by you. Not by Aaron. Not by Logan. And the thing is—Logan knows that. He would never treat me this way.”
Logan shrugs. “If you need me to be your boyfriend, I’ll be your boyfriend.”
The thought that he initiated this makes me unreasonably happy. Therefore, the thought needs to die.
This man is under my protection. If you mess with the bull, you get the horns. Proverbially. Or, on a more basic level: Mine.
Silly me, I never thought hearing a man threaten someone could be sexy. It absolutely is. It is the sexiest.
Guess I’m into homicidal urges now.
It’s nice to feel needed by someone. Especially by someone I know would be there for me as well.
“Because if you were mine, I’d be sure everyone knows it. There would be no question in anyone’s mind.”
I’m sure the catwalk is structurally sound. The stadium is fairly new, and I bet it was built with exacting safety codes. Still—does Parker have to be up there? I’m already having a hard time focusing today. Obviously. But worrying irrationally about Parker getting hurt makes it worse.
Logan eyes my hair and pulls the candle more toward his side of the table, clearly saving me from becoming a human torch.
Logan has shown me just how thoughtful he can be. Even on a day he needs to focus on the game, he’s thinking of me. And he roped all the guys into doing this, which demonstrates how much he’s connected with the team.
