Take (Temptation, #2)

To Logan, Because around you, all I want to do is fall without thought. - Tate

All he’d once dreamed of was right there within reach. All he had to do was reach out and take it.

Logan wanted him, and if this was his fall into corruption, then he planned on making one hell of an impact.

“I was thinking about how it feels when I’m under you.” Logan shook his head as though he didn’t understand. “Did I do something to piss you off?” Tate frowned, wondering what he’d said wrong. “No. Why?” Logan reached down, bold as ever, and rearranged what Tate now realized was a solid erection. “Because that’s the only reason I can think of that you’re hell-bent on torturing me tonight.”

“You’re hot.” “He’s mine,”

“You saying I'm easy?” Tate grinned across at him and knew that this would drive him nuts, so he moved in and lowered his voice. “No…I'm guessing you're hard. Really fucking hard.” When Logan’s mouth practically fell open, Tate yanked the pencil from his fingers and sat back in his chair with the smuggest look he’d ever given. Then he glanced around the silent table. All the men were gawking at them and the women were… “Damn,” Rachel sighed, fanning her face. “I need a drink.” “I need a cigarette,” Shelly said with a laugh.

Yes, touch me. Make me brave.

“What are you trying to do, kill me?” Tate shook his head. “No. I’m making you mine.” Logan released his hard-on and grabbed Tate’s ass, pulling him up so he could rub their cocks together. “Don’t you know? I’m already yours.”

“Leave? Of course, just leave. Fuck me for being so stupid,” he fumed and then dropped his hands away. “And fuck you for making me fall in love with you.”

“Logan?” He waited, and when nothing came, he whispered, “I love you too.” The only sound in the car was his breathing—until Logan started the engine and revealed four words that almost shattered him. “I don’t believe you.

“I didn’t think it was possible for you to be any sexier, but damn, Logan…you proved me wrong.” This close, he could see the way Logan’s eyes dilated in response, but the pleasure was short-lived when he heard him ask in a gruff voice, “Then why did you leave me?”

“And…this is definitely my choice. You might have done the chasing in the beginning, but Logan…” “Yeah?” “I’ve never been happier than when you caught me.”

How do people so readily hand over their hearts when I’m absolutely terrified to? “Logan?” “Hmm?” “Let me back in.” Logan blinked him into focus and placed his hand on top of Tate’s. “I’m trying.” Tate nodded. “Then I’ll wait.” “For how long?”

Tate’s eyes softened and the smile that touched his lips was full of sincerity as he promised, “As long as it takes.”

“You don’t get it, do you? It wasn’t that I didn’t want you,” Tate confessed. “It was because I wanted you so much. I needed space to be able to think. Because around you, all I want to do is fall without thought.”

How he’d gotten so damn lucky, he had no idea, but if it took slicing open his wounds to keep Tate, then he was willing to rip them open and bleed all over himself.

Logan exhaled as Tate pinned him with serious eyes. “You make me crazy and furious and out of my mind with need, but in the end, you make me so fucking happy. I can’t ever remember feeling this way. And no one is going to tell me it’s wrong. No one.”

“Agreed. Do I get to add to this rule book?” “Depends if I like the rule or not. Plus, you added one yesterday. I think that’s enough out of you. Best to leave it to the professionals.”

“Asshole,” Tate mumbled. “You say the nicest things to me.” Logan winked. “Let’s go dancing.”
