Exit Wounds

Chapter 13/19

Later that afternoon, Veronica laid nude on her stomach. Her head was turned to face Logan, but her eyes were closed. She sighed softly and continued to breath calmly. She felt Logan's fingers gently exploring her body. He had always been a tactile person. She suspected he was committing her form to memory. She felt calmness she hadn't felt in a long time and really didn't want to move.

Logan was sitting with his legs tucked under each other as he examined Veronica's back. "You are so beautiful." He said it like he was just realizing it. Not that she had a big ego, but her appearance hadn't changed much in the years apart.

"You think my ass is beautiful? Thanks. You have sexy feet." She smirked.

Logan spanked her playfully and watched her face. "Hey. I'm trying to be sweet here. Don't ruin it with your snark."

Veronica blinked up at him. "Well, I'm trying to enjoy the after sex bliss, for real this time, and you are being sappy." She raspberried him. "And stop spanking me. My ass is going to be bruised at this rate."

Logan bent over and kissed her behind gently. "Sorry." He rubbed her behind with a warm hand.

Veronica closed her eyes and sighed softly. "I forgive you."

"So, how long will you be dancing tonight?" He resumed his exploration. His touch felt soothing and loving. She could tell when he reached a scar. He would rub it slowly and exhale this soft puff of air.

"Not long. Just one song. Why?" Veronica peeked up at him.

"I was thinking if it would be a long time, I would invite Dick." He gave a little shrug.

"Ugh. Way to ruin my bliss." Veronica lifted herself up on her elbows, lifting her upper body up. She looked over her shoulder at him. "I could see if Claudia is still into him because I'm not dealing with him alone."

"I'll be there!" Logan blinked and pouted. "Do I no longer count?"

Veronica admired his cuteness for a moment. "I need someone to distract him with her lady bits so he won't look at mine. I saw him at the burlesque club. I remember." She smirked and turned onto her side, rolling away from his hand.

Logan let his hand stay in place as she turned to her side, his fingers gently trailing on her hip. He pushed her all the way onto her back and scooted closer. He began to run his fingers over her chest and stomach. "You do have a phenomenal body, Mars." He raised a brow at her. He had this look of love and admiration in his eyes that she couldn't ignore if she tried.

"I am a trained warrior." Veronica shrugged. She closed her eyes and let him touch her.

"Do you regret not going to college?" Logan asked as he touched her stomach. It tickled in his tenderness.

She tensed her abdominal muscles. "No." She didn't stir.

"So, you wouldn't want to go now that you aren't hiding anymore?" Logan ran the back of his fingers along her hip closest to him.

"Not really. I am good at my job. I am happy with doing this." She was proud of her job. She felt it was a good match for her.

Logan smirked and reached up to cup a breast. "This?"

Veronica opened an eye and shot him a glare. "Don't tease."

Logan released her breast and grinned. "I never tease."

Veronica opened the other eye just so she could roll them.

"Are we doing dinner?" Logan leaned over and kissed her stomach. "I'm sure the pit is hungry."
