Billionaire's Single Mom

He was still in a dark suit, so he must have just arrived from his meetings.

“May I come in?” he asked.

I stepped back and gestured inside. “You’re paying.”

Logan eyed me, a question in his eyes, but I didn’t set him at ease by saying anything else. His gaze shifted to my bags.

“So, I see you’ve been enjoying Tokyo, Emily.”

“Yes.” I moved back over to the bed, sat down, and put my hands in my lap. “Mostly Odaiba today.” My brow furrowed. “Did I say it right?”

“Sounds right to me.” He looked to the side for a moment before returning his gaze to me, his dark eyes filled with curiosity. “I don’t think I’ve ever been there.”

“It’s a very interesting place. Too bad Juniper couldn’t have come.”

“I’m sure we…” His mouth twitched. “She’s young. I’m sure she’ll have her chance.”

I’m sure we can go on another trip.

I knew that’s what he started to say, and the realization stabbed at my heart. I had no right to be hurt after telling him I didn’t want anything more.

“How did your meetings go?” I asked, desperate to get my mind off anything having to do with relationships.

Logan smiled. “Great. There were a few issues that popped up, but we’re signing the final agreements tomorrow.”

I managed a smile. “Not a waste of time then.”

He shrugged. “I never find travel a waste of time. But, yeah, the investment deal’s going to be profitable for everyone involved.”

We stared at each other for a long while, the tension thick in the air. I couldn’t help it. He was so handsome and kind. I could easily imagine myself falling for him. If only I’d met him before Lionel.

“I need a bit to get cleaned up before dinner,” I said. After a few seconds, I added, “I’m going to be turning in early tonight. It was a long day. I feel like I walked around half of Tokyo, even if it was only one small part.”

Logan nodded slowly. “Tomorrow evening, maybe we could go out to celebrate my successful business deal? We’re not going to have much time on Saturday. We got a long flight to get you back by Sunday.”

“Okay,” I said softly. “One last night of celebration in Tokyo. Sounds like fun.”

He grinned, his eyes full of unspoken promise, and my insides twitched in anticipation. My cheeks heated, but it wasn’t like he could tell that had happened from looking at me. At least I hoped so.

Agreeing to celebrate with him might not have been the greatest idea, but it wasn’t like I could say no.

“Just knock on my door when you’re ready for dinner.”

“I will.”

Logan stepped out and closed the door behind him.

One more day. I’m sure we could get through that without too much trouble.

Chapter Twenty

LOGAN

Friday night, I headed to my room after finishing the business deal. I wanted to get changed before knocking on Emily’s door. It’d been a long day of finishing contact signing, despite what I’d expected a couple days earlier. Disappointing, really.

Sure, I’d helped iron out a major investment deal that would make a lot of people rich in America and Japan, but I’d really hoped to be to spend more time with Emily, even if she wanted to keep things on a more casual level.

As I changed out of my suit into comfortable slacks and a more breathable shirt, I couldn’t help thinking of our afternoon of passion. Even though it was a couple of days ago, it felt like another lifetime, almost like a delightful dream.
