“You’re still wrong, but that’s not it.”
She moved her hand from the door. “Then, what?”
I couldn’t help myself. I just fucking did it. I went in for the kill. “Mia?”
“Yes.”
“Move in with me.”
She opened her mouth in shock.
“I know I asked back in the day and scared the shit out of you.”
“You didn’t.”
“I did.” I kissed her and then leaned away, studying that gorgeous face. “But, I still want you in my bed. I want to see, if we can work, and I don’t care how crazy it sounds. And it’s okay if you say no, just understand, that’ll I’ll ask in another six months and then six months after that.”
She grinned.
“And then six months after that.”
She chuckled. “And how would all my other boyfriends feel about this?”
Frowning, I said nothing.
She widened her eyes. “Logan, you know I’m playing.”
“You’re playing because you’re nervous.”
She looked away. “I am.”
“Mia, I won’t hurt you. Give me a chance.”
“I’m scared. . .”
“Take a risk with me. I won’t hurt you.” I took her chin and put her view back to me. “I love you, Mia.”
Her eyes watered, but no tears came. “I love you too.”
“Move in with me. I’ve got plans. We can renovate the condo across from me and make it your whole business. It’ll be your office with all your supplies and state of the art appliances for the kitchen.”
“Logan—”
“I’ll do anything.”
She shook her head. “You don’t have to do anything. I want to move in.”
A smile spread across my face. “Really?”
“Fuck.” She grinned. “Let’s do it. Let’s just go for it. We’re crazy about each other.”
“We are.”
“And I like the way you fuck me.”
I groaned. “Yes. That’s always a good reason to move in together. The fucking is always important.”
“And the licking.”
“Yes.” I groaned. “I will be doing more licking when you move in.”
Lust blazed in her eyes. “Then, we should hurry.”
“Hurry to move in?”
“Hurry to get this damn Kingmaker book and then return to your condo for naked reading.”
“Yes. I love naked reading time. It’s always the best part of the day.”
“I love you, Logan.”
“I love you too.”
Next, I’ll get a ring on her finger. Patience. Patience. Patience.
