Logan smiled in appreciation. Stella had always had good intuition for other people’s needs, and it didn’t seem like the time that had passed since he last saw Stella had dimmed that one bit.
‘You know it darling,’ Logan said, gladly taking a bottle of perfectly chilled beer from Stella and noticing Huggle, Stella’s stuffie leaning up on the kitchen worktop. ‘You know what else might also help?’
‘Go on…’ Stella replied, a hint of suspicion in her voice.
‘We could grab a shower together?’ Logan said, keeping a mischievous level of eye contact going as he watched Stella blush. ‘You look… sweaty?’
‘You wish,’ Stella snapped back, dismissively shaking her head and trying to act as cool as she possible could. ‘I havetwobathrooms. You can use the guest bath. And let me guess… you want to stay the night?’
Logan nodded.
Stella really was the boss when it came to intuition. Logan knew it might not be the same for Stella, but as far as Logan was concerned the spark was still very much there between them.
If he was going to stay over, things might get complicated.
The girl’s so fucking sexy-cute-uptight and everything else too.
But life is for the living.
Sometimes the only option is to let go and see what happens…
Chapter 3
Stella stepped out of the shower and took a moment to allow herself to drip dry. As the new steam extractor silently cooled and cleared her bathroom, a naked Stella took a moment to compose herself…
Okay, just stay calm.
Don’t let Logan get under your skin again.
And don’t let him excite you too much either!
However it might have been a little bit too late to try and tell her body to calm down. Stella looked down and saw that her stiff, pink nipples were very much full of thoughts of Logan Rain.
‘Come on, he’s not even that hot,’ Stella muttered, frustrated at how much her own body was betraying her true attraction to Logan as she felt her special place tingling. ‘Urgh. Whatever.’
The truth was that try as she might, Stella couldn’t deny that Logan was looking more handsome than ever – and that was saying something.
Stella did a quick calculation in her head and worked out that Logan was around either forty-five or forty-six, maybe forty-four. Math may have been usually a strong point for Stella, but even thinking about Logan’s age was scrambling her brain.
Whatever his exact age, Logan was looking incredibly dashing, and his body was in better shape than ninety-nine percent of men half his age.
Logan’s getting sexier with ever year that passes.
He seems more like a Daddy than ever.
And yet he’d still never want to settle with me…
Stella picked up one of her large, super-cozy white towels and fixed it around her upper body and walked out of the bathroom and into her master bedroom.
With its clean aesthetic and high ceilings, Stella’s bedroom was a place of sanctuary.
Of course, Stella had entertained the occasional guy in there, but somehow none of them had ever quite lived up to expectations. It wasn’t that Stella was freakishly fussy, it was just that she needed something extra to truly get her going.
Stella needed a Daddy to dominate her and then snuggle up with her and Huggle the bear afterward.
It felt like a distant dream, but it was one that Stella wouldn’t give up on or compromise.
So, all in all, Stella’s bedroom was mostly a place of rest and relaxation rather than any steamy late-night fun for most of the time.
