sputtered angrily, sitting up and looking at him square in the face.
“Wait, what? Since you told him about me? I sent our record into the label months ago.” Logan looked at her in confusion. Gina looked sideways and then abruptly laid her head back down on Logan’s shoulder.
“Uh, yeah. I mean, sure, that’s how he heard about it but you know, I’ve heard you guys play at McGinny’s before.” Gina quickly explained.
“Oh, okay.” Logan still felt a bit confused but Gina had slid over him and leaned down to kiss him. He loved the feeling of her soft lips on his and he grabbed her hips, pushing her down against him just where he wanted her. She gasped and moaned into his mouth and then began to move with him as they forgot about everything else.
CHAPTER EIGHT
“Do you have to leave?” Gina whined, pulling his arm in an attempt to get him back in bed with her as she sleepily looked up at him. He grinned at her pouty expression and couldn’t stop himself from leaning down and planting a kiss on her lips. Her hands instantly wrapped around his neck and she deepened their kiss, moaning into his mouth as the tip of her tongue ran across his lips.
“I wish I could stay, but I have to go to work.” He said, muffled from their kissing, but then pulled himself away and grabbed his shirt off the ground. He pulled it on over his head and looked back at her curled up in the sheets. One of her long legs was stretched out across the bed and the sheet barely covering her bosom.
“Woman, you are making this so hard.” He groaned as he stood in the doorway, contemplating skipping work at the sight of her even though he had already indulged himself more than once tonight.
“Is that the only thing that’s hard?” She giggled and threw a pillow at him, he ducked and laughed.
“Well, now I am definitely going. You are trouble, woman.” Logan winked at her than headed to her front door, carefully locking it behind him with the key she had given him.
He didn’t know why he had accepted it, it seemed like a huge step and yet he hadn’t even questioned it. He wanted access to her anytime he chose, he couldn’t get enough of feeling her against him, being around her, even talking to her although they often had major discrepancies between their thinking. None of that mattered to him though because Gina had awoken something in him that he forgot existed and it didn’t matter that this was their second night together. She completed a piece of him that he hadn’t even realized he had lost.
Logan stayed lost in his thoughts the entire way to work, daydreaming about being with Gina. He couldn’t even believe the things running through his mind, thinking about a future together with a woman he had just met four days ago. Not even just Gina, but his entire life had changed in the last four days. He had a chance to become everything he had every dreamed of, to take care of his family, and to maybe find love on top of that. Everything was finally falling into place. He couldn’t stop himself from bearing a dopey smile thinking about his life, as he walked into the warehouse office to punch his time card.
“You’re ten minutes late, Clay. What the hell? Thought you were going to start showing up early like you did the other day.” Joey barked at him from his usual spot behind the counter. Sometimes Logan wondered if his butt was permanently glued to that chair.
“I told you not to get used to it.” He rolled his eyes at Joey and headed into the main part of the warehouse, ignoring his boss’s complaints.
Don’t get used to me being here forever , Logan thought to himself and smiled as he headed over to his station.

The days seemed to crawl by as Logan anxiously awaited his trip to New York. He spent his days working, then he ate dinner with his family and practiced songs on his guitar for his mother, then he
