“Oh...and the office may have found out about us.”
Logan sits back in his seat and gazes out the window. He’s strangely relieved that the office knows. It means no more hiding their relationship.
“Are you mad, Logan? I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine, Avery. I’m not mad. How’d they find out?”
“I’m not really sure. I just think maybe we weren’t as good at hiding it as we thought we were. Dr. Fields asked me at the meeting this morning if I had heard from you and I just sort of froze. They all smiled at me like they had a secret and kept on with the meeting, but when we were leaving Dr. Fields asked me in front of everyone when the wedding was taking place. I don’t think I’ve ever been so embarrassed.”
Logan chuckles, thinking about how Al must have put her on the spot.
“I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I can address it when I get back, but I won’t lie, I’m glad they know now. I don’t want to hide you.”
“I love you. When do you think you’ll be back? Soon?”
“I don’t know, sweetheart,” he murmurs devastatingly. “Hey, I’ve got to run but I’ll call you tonight, okay?”
“I’ll be waiting.”
He ends the call and faces Brooks who has a cheesy “all-knowing” grin on his face.
“Man, you are such a goner. Is that the lovely girl from back home?”
“Yep,” he replies, turning his phone around to show Brooks the picture Logan took of them at the fall festival last weekend.
“Jesus Christ! How the hell did you snag her? Are all the women in Carson as hot as that?”
“I won’t lie, there are a few, mostly my best friend’s sisters, but don’t tell him I said that. And yeah, this one here is the love of my life, so back off.”
Logan’s angry tone ignites a chuckle from Brooks. Logan ignores him and stands to dump his tray and head back to the ER. Brooks follows suit, laughing the entire way.
When Logan arrives downstairs the ER director pulls him into her office and tells him that they only need him to pull a half shift tomorrow and then he could go home.
Hell yea!
Logan finishes seeing the triaged patients before tucking himself away into a spare room set aside for him to sleep. He changes out of his scrubs and calls Brooks to head across the street to grab something to eat.
They meet at a sports bar, intent on watching the football game and order some beer and food. Logan tells Brooks all about Carson and when he asks about Logan’s family, he gives him his backstory. Logan doesn’t know why he opened up to a stranger like this, but Brooks proves to be a good listener. He tells Logan that he intended on playing professional baseball in college, had even been scouted by the Braves, but he tore his shoulder and it ended his career. Logan can tell the shoulder bothers him still; he noticed Brooks wincing while lifting weights at the gym this morning.
As a younger group starts crowding in on the bar, Logan leaves Brooks to enjoy himself while he heads back to his room. Logan lies in his bed and boots up his laptop, hoping to catch Avery as she’s getting ready for bed. He’s been debating telling her that he’s coming home early, but he has finally ruled that out and decided to surprise her instead.
Suddenly his black screen disappears and he’s met with the gorgeous face of his angel. She looks stunning, standing there in a soft pink robe, makeup removed from her face, and her hair twisted back.
“Hello, beautiful.”
“Hey, handsome. I was getting ready to take a shower, it was a rough day.”
“I know how to make your day better,” Logan responds with a wink.
Grinning, she replies, “Oh yeah, how’s that?”
“Take off that robe, go lie on the bed, and spread your legs. I want to see you touch yourself.”
She giggles and hesitates at first, then positions her laptop on the dresser. She does as Logan asks and arranges herself on the bed so that he can see her swollen folds and the pink tips of her breasts. His cock throbs against the fabric of his boxer briefs.
“Come on, babe. Slide your hands down your breasts and touch yourself. Pretend it’s my fingers feeling you,” Logan declares as he reaches down and grips himself, working his rough hand up and down his hardened shaft.
She follows his every command, writhing against her own hand as she calls out his name in release. Logan follows closely behind her, biting his lip as he comes all over his hip.
