**One Week Later**

It seems unbelievable that Logan and I have been together a whole week. I still pinch myself from time to time to see if I'm dreaming. 2 days after we kissed at the lighthouse, I moved up to Logan's bed. It sure did beat sleeping on that couch. I'm surprised I ever got to sleep at night. Even though I've been spending my nights in his bed...I haven't allowed it to go any farther than kissing. Maybe I'm scared. I don't know. It's been a long time since I've had any sexual contact. What if that animal inside of me comes out and I hurt logan? The last time I had sex...I almost killed the guy. Thankfully he didnt remember anything that happened.

I sighed to myself as I finished the last of the dishes and put them into the drainer to dry. My hand runs through my hair. I'm gonna drive myself crazy if I don't quit thinking about this is. I leave the camper and step out into the cool night air near the Arkansas and Tennessee border. My hand found the cigarette pack I had tucked away in my bra and I lit one up with my ability. The nicotine filled smoke calmed my jumbled nerves as I stood by a small stream. The water trickled over the rocks gently making a slapping noise.

"Chey? What are you doing out here?" Logan's voice appeared.

"Just getting some air." I said putting on a fake smile.

"You're a bad liar."

"I know." I said taking another drag from my cigarette.

"What's wrong?"

"I was just thinking about us. I know you're frustrated because we haven't...you know." I said not looking at him. I felt his hands on my shoulders as he stood behind me.

"Baby girl I'll wait forever if I have to until you're ready to take that next step."

"That's the thing. I am ready. I want you so badly I can't stand it." I said turning around and finally facing him.

"What's the problem?"

"I'm afraid that...that if we do this...that animalistic side will come out. I don't want to hurt you." I said honestly.

"You're not gonna hurt me. I heal fast." Logan leaned down and kissed my lips before looking deep into my eyes.

"Let's go to bed." I nod my head flicking the finished cigarette into the stream. Logan takes my hand and leads me inside and over to the ladder leading to the loft.

"Ladies first." He said with a smirky smile.

"Yeah yeah. You just wanna good view."

"Correction: a better view." He said winking at me as I started up the ladder. As I got to the top I could feel his eyes on me. I couldn'thelp but smile and feel my troubles fade away.

I stood in the loft. Yes stood. For such a small camper it was plenty big inside. Again I felt Logan's hands but this time they rested on my hips. I turned around letting Logan's hands glide freely touching my hips all around. We captured each other's lips again. The kiss immediately heated up. Fuck waiting anymore or being too afraid.
