Being With Logan

Annie
I leaned against Logan’s side as I excitedly showed him and our family around the house, telling him about each and every piece that decorated the rooms. As we walked up the stairs, I slowed a little, nervous about showing them mine and Gerry’s bedroom. I had never been embarrassed about mine and Gerry’s involvement, but having Logan here, I was a mess. I didn’t want him to turn his back on me without letting me explain. I had just found him. I just wanted a chance.
“Annie? Are you alright?” He asked, his voice full of concern.
“Huh? Yes. Why?” I replied, looking around at my family, who were standing in place, watching me.
“You just stopped walking,” Logan told me. “And then you just stared off into space. Is everything okay?”
“Yes. I just umm…”
He raised his hand to cup my face, and I couldn’t help but lean against him as I stared into his hypnotic eyes. His thumb stroked my cheek, sliding along the underside of my eye.
“Just breathe, Annie. Everything will be okay,” he murmured.
I wrapped my hand around his wrist, knowing that as soon as he stepped into the bedroom I shared with my brother, his tune would change. I swallowed nervously, glancing at Gerry worriedly. The fury in his eyes made me take a step away from Logan, clearing my throat.
“We sh-should continue. R-right this way,” I stammered.
I led them slowly down the hall, showing them the guest room, our study, and the huge bathroom before stopping outside of our bedroom. I paused with my hand on the doorknob before looking at Gerry, who was obviously not going to help me at all, no matter how much my eyes begged him to. I gave up trying when he crossed his arms over his chest. I sighed before pushing the door open.
“And this is my room,” I told them as they filed inside.
I drew in a deep breath, cringing when mine and Gerry’s mixed scent of pleasure from the night before still lingered in the air. My mother sniffed the air before turning toward me, and I braced myself for the lecture I knew was coming.
“Is that cherry blossom? It smells so good, honey. I’m glad you inherited something from me. You got everything else from your father,” my mother said before looking around the room. “Very nice room, Annie! I’m impressed. It’s so clean and organized. Not like your room at home,” she teased.
My hands flew up to cover the blush on my cheeks. “MOM!”
While she chuckled, Logan took me in his arms, placing his mouth close to my ear. “Is this where I’ll be sleeping tonight?” He murmured almost silently.
I shivered at the heated promise in his voice before tilting my head back to look into his eyes. “Do you want to?” I asked him breathlessly.
He glanced at my parents before letting his hands drift down my sides, pulling me harder against his body. “Yes.”
The sound of a door slamming on the floor below us had me tearing myself away from Logan and spinning around. Just like I expected, Gerry was gone, and I was left alone in my bedroom with my family and mate. I gulped hard as Osprey smirked at me.
“I think we should leave these two lovebirds alone. Not that I think they would mind,” he said, earning a growl from my father.
I nervously cleared my throat. “No, no. It’s fine. I—we ummm,” I glanced at Logan as I began to twist my hands anxiously. “I should find Gerry.”
I began to hurry out of the room, only to have Osprey step in my way, shaking his head. He turned me around before pushing me gently back toward Logan.
“You stay here with your mate, Annie. It’s where you belong. We’ll find Gerry,” he told me.
I glanced at Logan, who was watching us. “What am I supposed to do?” I whispered.
“Talk. Ask questions.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Mate.”
“GODDESS DAMMIT, OSPREY! THAT’S YOUR LITTLE SISTER! YOU SHOULDN’T BE ENCOURAGING HER TO HAVE SEX!” My father roared, making our other fathers smirk behind his back.
“I’m not ‘encouraging’ her to have sex with a random stranger, Dad,” he said. Rolling his eyes. “I am telling her it’s okay to mate with the one person that was created for her. Besides, we can all smell her. She wants him and is ready.”
I covered my ears as I closed my eyes. I was already embarrassed having them in my room. I was going to die of said embarrassment if they kept discussing me and my arousal like it was a normal occurrence.
“STOP IT!” I screamed. “GET OUT! JUST GET OUT!”
My mother immediately began to usher them out of the room. “Go on, boys. You’ve embarrassed her enough. I’m sorry, sweetheart. I will punish them. I mean it, Tony! Out! Shoo!”
After one last apologetic look, my mother pulled the door shut behind her. I lowered my head, too embarrassed to even look at Logan. I jumped when his arms went around my waist.
“It’s okay, Annie. They’re not family if they don’t embarrass us,” he murmured before kissing my cheek. “We don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. Now that I’ve found you, I’m not letting you go unless you reject me.”
“I don’t want to reject you,” I immediately responded.
“Good, because I don’t want to have to accept it.”
I turned around in his arms, wrapping my arms around his waist as I leaned against him for a moment before pulling myself away from him. He didn’t try to approach me as I started pacing in front of him, twisting my hands together before stopping suddenly with my head down to hide the tears that I couldn’t fight anymore.
“Annie,” he called softly. “What’s wrong?”
I shook my head before bursting into tears. “You’re going to leave me,” I sobbed.
“No, Annie, I’m not. I want to be with you. I chose you, even before I met you. I wanted you,” he murmured softly to me.
I continued to shake my head as I wrapped my arms around my own waist, needing to be held but was too afraid to tell him so. “You won’t once you find out what I did.”
“Annie, there’s nothing that you could tell me that I don’t already know,” he said.
“There’s a lot,” I whispered.
I whimpered when his feet entered my vision. His hand slowly slid up my neck to cup my face, tilting it up so that I was looking into his eyes.
“I know that you are a good-hearted woman who loves deeply, and that once you love someone, you would do anything for them.” His hand shifted so he could rub my bottom lip with his thumb. “I know that you are highly intelligent, innocent, and trust the Goddess to tell you what’s right.” He lowered his head, slowly molding his lips to mine before pulling away a fraction of an inch so that his mouth hovered slightly above mine. “I also know that you and Gerald share this bed. I know that you are involved.”
I reached up to grip his wrist again as tears flowed freely down my cheeks. “I’m ready,” I whispered.
“Ready for what?”
“For your rejection,” I whispered.
“I’m not rejecting you, Annaria. I knew that you were involved with him before I came here. I knew, but I didn’t care. Just like I don’t care now.”
“You d-don’t?” I stuttered, my grip tightening on his wrist.
He pressed his forehead against mine, smiling softly as he stared into my eyes. “No, baby, I don’t. I want you. Just you. Forever. Starting today.”
My stomach fluttered as he kissed me again. I melted against him, letting his wrist go to wrap my arms around his neck as I kissed him back. He gripped my hips, squeezing them tightly before moving his hands down to massage my ass. When I moaned into his mouth, he groaned before picking me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me over to the bed before carefully lowering me onto it and following me down. We continued kissing while our hands roamed all over each other’s bodies. He traced the sides of my body before sliding his hands back up to graze the side of my breasts while mine went under his shirt, running all over his torso, relishing how muscular his chest was.
“Spread your legs, baby,” he ordered.
I did as he asked, and he instantly moved between them to push gently against my core, driving both of us wild. I lightly scratched down his chest as I lifted my hips to meet his thrusts.
“Logan,” I moaned softly.
“Annie, my sweet, sweet Annie,” he whispered against my lips. “I have waited so long to find you.”
I pulled one hand out of his shirt to run my fingers through his hair as I looked into his eyes. “And what are you going to do now that you found me?” I asked shyly.
“I’m going to mate and mark you, take you back to Havana, and then, my beautiful little mate, I am going to marry you, and we are going to live happily ever after,” he told me.
The door burst open behind him, bouncing off the wall, only to be shoved back open as Gerry stormed into the room with his eyes ablaze with fiery anger.
“Over my fucking dead body!”
