Poor Rip. I’m sure he didn’t mean anything by it, but like Logan said, he knows the rules.
“We’ll see about that,” I’m sure I hear him mutter.
And that’s it for conversation. It’s nice. Relaxing in his arms without any expectation, and when the water starts to cool, he wraps me up in a fluffy towel, then hands me one of his t-shirts.
Hmm. Looks like I might be staying over after all.
I broke rule number one without even blinking.
God help me if I really am going to keep any feelings I may have surfacing in check. It won’t do.
This is a casual arrangement between two consenting adults, and if people want to speculate they can go right ahead.
Right now? I’m going to rest my head on Logan’s pillow and try and get some shut-eye. The snuggly looking comforter on his huge bed is just too enticing, and I don’t even have my car here.
Just this once, I tell myself. There won’t be a next time.
CHAPTER
THIRTEEN
Logan
I’m daydreaming about my night with Payden when Nova knocks on the back door. She knows we’re closed for renovations, but I’m waiting for contractors to arrive.
“Oh my god!” she says when she sees Dozer at my feet as she crouches to pet him. “He’s so sweet!”
“Don’t get too attached,” I gruff. “He’s not here to stay, just fosterin’ til he finds somethin’ more permanent.”
Nova pouts. “But you two look so good together. Speaking of which…” She waggles her eyebrows. “You and Payden?”
I sigh. “Not you, too.”
“What? I’m all for it. Payden is amazing. I’d love it if she were an ol’ lady too?—”
“Don’t go gettin’ crazy. She isn’t an ol’ lady, and she’s not gonna be. It’s casual. So don’t go flappin’ your gums about shit.”
She rolls her eyes, setting the little guy back on the ground as he does a zoomy around the bar.
I can’t help but chuckle. He sure as shit lightens any bad mood.
“Sawyer told me.”
My eyes flick to her. “About Bobby?”
“Ugh, don’t say his name, but yes, about him and what he did.”
“And?”
“And I, well, I think it’s a good idea if I see him again.”
I scratch my chin. “Why?”
“Logan, after what he did to me? I want him to know that I’m not going to be kept down by him anymore. That I’m thriving without him.”
“I know, but isn’t it enough that you’ve managed to move on and create a new life for yourself? He’ll be dead pretty soon anyway.”
Last night, before I fucked Payden in Jas’s office, we had a meeting with Cash and discussed what to do with Bobby. The vote was unanimous; he has to die. Whether Nova should be included in that was pretty much a no, but Cash left it up to Sawyer. Obviously, if Nova feels that strongly about getting revenge, then Cash feels she should have it, but I’m not so sure.
