Your Captivating Love (The Bennett Family 2)

I take out the plates and, when I turn around to Logan, I catch him in a compromising position.

“You’re checking out my ass, aren’t you?” I ask him.

“Guilty.” Grinning, he adds, “In my defense, you have a fine, fine ass.”

After dinner, we start kissing in the living room, never making it to the bedroom.

This man will turn my world upside down.

Will I survive it?

Chapter Ten

Nadine

Waking up in Logan’s bed instantly brightens my morning. We only eat a quick breakfast then head to the store.

“How long can you stay today?” I ask on the way there. “Until you leave for your parents’ house?”

“Oh, I don’t have to go anymore.” Logan peers at me cheerfully.

“What? No, Logan.” I come to a halt, elbowing him. “Sunday is your family day. I don’t want you to miss it.”

“I’m not going to miss it. Now, move your delicious ass or we’ll be late, and last I checked, you had a million things on your to-do list.”

“Don’t mock my to-do list. It’s the only thing keeping me afloat. And coffee. Let’s not forget coffee.”

“I don’t even get an honorary mention?”

“I’ll consider putting you after coffee.”

Logan’s mouth forms an O. “You’ve wounded my pride.”

“You’re distracting me from your family thing. What did you do? Why don’t you have to go?”

“Hurry up, you’ll see.”

Closer to the store, he adds, “Remember what I said about not overthinking our relationship?”

“Yeah.”

“Good. Hold on to that, because I’m about to introduce you to my parents.”

“You—huh?”

I sneak glances at Logan as we walk, but he doesn’t show signs of wanting to continue the conversation. I focus on the birds chirping all around us instead, wondering how they can be so energetic and cheerful in the morning. I’ve always envied them.

When we arrive at the store, I see exactly what Logan meant. His entire family plus Ava is camping in front of my shop, carrying toolboxes and wearing rags.

Ava and Pippa wave at me.

“We arrived a few minutes too early, but the shop across the road has excellent coffee,” Ava says.

“The cupcakes are also yummy,” Pippa adds.

My cheeks turn red. Now I understand why Logan was in a hurry.

“Let’s get introductions out of the way, shall we?” Logan says. “Nadine, this is my mom, Jenna, and my dad, Richard.” I shake hands with his parents.
