Logan was satisfied himself, but the idea of how satisfied Stella must have been by putting on this show was whattrulypleased Logan.
Stella was loosening up and being wild in a way that Logan never truly believed was possible. Logan was loving this new, looser version of Stella and felt proud to be playing a part in Stella’s evolution.
The only question was, how long would this change last?
Chapter 11
Stella was enjoying some down-time in her bedroom.
Having had a busy week, Stella had even treated herself to the luxury of a lie in. Well, 8:30AM wasn’t exactly late by most people’s Saturday morning standards, but for Stella it may as well have been past midday.
Still, Stella was feeling contented. She had showered, taken her morning liter of water on board, and was now feeling fresh and hydrated as she flipped through her favorite wildlife magazine.
Her room with its whitewashed walls and calming aesthetic of candles and luxurious bed linen was designed to give a relaxing vibe to all who set foot in it. Even the sight of one of Logan’s customary white t-shirts on the floor wasn’t harshing Stella’s mellow.
The feeling of having put on an X-rated show for Logan was like nothing Stella had experienced before. As the dayspassed from that wild, intensely pleasurable evening, Stella kept casting her mind back to the events, replaying them over and over in her mind.
It was so naughty.
It could have been anyone watching me.
But I’m glad it was Logan…
Stella had got through the following week at work without any major mishaps. Lauren Treen was as much of a douchebag as ever, however Stella hand managed to work from home for three days so was able to focus on her revised project without any unwanted distractions from her so-called colleague.
That said, Stella had from time to time wondered whether her absence from the EcoPlay office was being seized upon by Lauren as an excuse to bad mouth her to other colleagues.
But Stella was determined to forget about Lauren and only focus on herself. Feeling even more confident in her relationship with Logan, Stella wanted to put the hours in on her project and really feel confident of smashing it out of the park when the time came to formally present it.
The carrot at the end of the stick of course was the opportunity to become a Vice President at EcoPlay. Not only would that be personally satisfying from a career perspective, but it would also enable Stella to expand her influence in other areas that she was passionate about.
Speaking of which, it was time to head down toThe Dog Dento see how the latest batch of new dogs were doing.The Dog Denwere always grateful for volunteers helping, and with anadoption day coming up it was important to get all the dogs washed and looking all fresh and even cuter looking than they already did.
‘Yo, we need to bounce!’ Logan called out, walking into Stella’s room and looking classically dashing in his white t-shirt and blue denim jeans. ‘I want to get there early so I can help out with the food allocation. I know I shouldn’t, but I’m going to sneak Sweetie an extra half-cup of biscuits.’
‘Youlovethat dog!’ Stella laughed. ‘I get it. She’s big, strong, and has a heart of gold. Trust me, I know the type.’
The two of them locked eyes and laughed.
They were falling deeply in love with each other, and although it was still unspoken, it was clear that the pair of them were catching the strongest of feelings.
‘Let’s go! Move that butt before I paddle it out of the door,’ Logan said, rolling his eyes. ‘You can message your friends on the way there.’
Stella loved it when Logan took control of the situation, and before long she had hopped off the bed and was walking out of the building door with Logan.
‘I just need to make a couple of calls,’ Logan said, taking out his refurbished cellphone and calling up Leo to discuss a business opportunity he was mulling over.
Stella nodded and began to message her friends in their group chat…
Guys, I hope you had a nice juice this morning. I missed it, of course. BUT… I can’t lie, I did love my lazy start to the day too! Life is a total dream at the moment. Much naughtiness if you catch my drift… Anyway, have a good day and let’s meet up soon. Stella XoXoXo
You are a lucky Little! I just had another lame date with a guy who wouldn’t know how to properly treat a Little if his life depended on it. *SIGH* Oh well, at least seeing you so happy gives me hope! Lilah XoXo
Yay! Let’s do something SOON! I think we’re well overdue a rollerblade disco, right? We can finally settle the debate about who is fastest. I mean, obviously it’s me, but… Nicki xxxx
Stella giggled as she read the messages from her friends. The group chat was always full of banter and good-natured insults flying around. But it was also nice for Stella to see how positive both Lilah and Nicki were being about her relationship with Logan.
They care about me.
