Logan

8. Mad Mad World

"I... I can't stop shaking." He shook his head at me, his fingers slipping underneath the bottom of my t shirt as he began to lift it over my head "Logan you don't need to... do this." His fingers ghosted over my damp skin after he tossed my shirt off to the side, and I immediately tried to cover myself up.

"Please, don't..." Logan moved the both of us so my back was against the wall, one hand resting behind my head while the other traced along my chin "May I?" I looked up at him, biting my bottom lip as I nervously nodded my agreement, and when his lips roughly met mine it felt like the tension that had been building between us for all those years was finally being released. I couldn't help the quiet, inaudible words that escaped my mouth when he pulled away to take a breath, a smirk ghosting over his face before his lips met mine for the third time today. My still shaking hands fumbled with the buttons on the bottom of his shirt, the fabric was still so wet that it was hard to get a grip on anything, and I had only managed to unbutton maybe three before his hands stopped me, and he stepped away and effortlessly pulled his shirt over his head.

"Logan..." my fingers began to trace over his perfectly toned chest... and he stood still as I took my time, touching every inch of his skin, like my mind was testing if all of this was real... I hesitated for a moment when I finally reached the top of his jeans, looking up at him to find his eyes full of what could only be explained as fire.

"If you had any idea..." Logan softly kissed my forehead "... how much..." His palm moved slowly over the wet fabric of my bra, and I arched my back, bringing myself closer to him... my body responding before I even had a chance to tell it not to "... I want you right now..." The rings on his fingers were like ice against my skin. When his lips eventually reached my neck all I felt was pure... ecstasy. He kissed me so teasingly, so gently, that I couldn't help but moan quietly with the need for more "Fuck..." His voice was a low growl, and his hands moved to my hips as he roughly gripped them "Nat..." He swallowed, hard, before quickly backing away from me, leaving me with my back to the wall, my chest heaving as I came down from the extreme high "I'm sorry I..."

"It's fine... really." I shuffled my feet around on the carpet, my arms crossing across my chest when the sudden realization that I was, well, still half naked, hit me like a brick "We should uh... get changed yeah?"

"What were you two doing up there?" Alex questioned to no one in particular, as the three of us sat in the kitchen warming up over cups of hot cocoa "Guys, come on. I'm sick of not knowing what's going on. Natalie just yelled at my friend... Victoria says hello by the way... you two can't look at each other for two seconds without looking like you want to... you know." He sat his cup down roughly on the table, liquid jumping over the edge and spreading across the clean surface "Shit Nat... I just want to know that you're safe. That it's not gonna be another..." Alex trailed off when I shook my head at him. He knew better than to bring my ex up at a time like this...

"I won't hurt her. You have my word." Logan moved his hand to my lap under the table, his fingers tightly squeezing my thigh and I swallowed to distract myself "Look Alex. Your sister and I... well."

"Okay... I get it. Don't need the details..." Alex had cut him off, a slightly disgusted look crossing over his face as he glanced between the two of us "Just know if you do anything to hurt her..." He made a cutting motion across his throat, at the same time his eyes lit up as he looked across the table "You wanna come to the gig with us tonight Nat?"

"No worries girl. I can't even begin to imagine how that all must have looked to you..." Victoria smiled before wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug, and I wiped my eyes after we both pulled away from each other. As soon as I'd seen her standing off to the side of the small stage, I'd gone over and apologized for my actions. Any fears I'd had of her being stuck up, or bitchy, had immediately been erased when she had complimented my outfit "It's one of my favorite movies!"

"Thanks..." I laughed, shoving my hands into my jacket pocket and shuffling my feet around in the grass "I mean... mine too..." It was just beginning to get dark outside, the gig tonight was at an outside amphitheater, right next to a gorgeous lake. Victoria and I continued talking, laughing, and discussing our shared music and pop culture interests, and she was just beginning to tell me an embarrassing story about my brother when I felt Logan's arm wrapping around my waist from behind...

"Knew you two would get along..." He leaned down and placed a small kiss on my forehead, and Victoria winked at me before walking off towards where my brother was messing with something on the stage "Did you think about what I asked you?" Logan's breath was hot against my cheek, and I bit my lip before I looked up at him to answer.
