and pulled her back down on the bed, capturing her mouth in a long, sweet kiss. Maybe she wasn’t sure who she was. But she knew who Logan thought she was, and seeing herself through his eyes made her feel better about herself. He wanted her, he needed her, and she got the sense that he might just be falling for her.
“We should probably get on the road,” he said. “We still have to pick up Tally from the vet’s place. And we’ve got a long day ahead. I want to get to Cobar tonight, and with a long drive tomorrow, we’ll be able to reach Adelaide. Ed gave me the name of a horse breeder about an hour outside Adelaide. I’m thinking we might stay a few days and give Tally a chance to recover a bit.”
“All right, let’s get going,” Sunny murmured, her lips soft against his mouth.
“Or maybe we could go back to bed for a bit.”
“Are you saying I wasn’t enough for you last night?” she asked.
“I’m saying I’m never going to get enough of you, no matter how much time we spend in bed.”
She set her coffee cup down and flopped back on the bed with him, turning to face him and look into his eyes. “Tell me the truth,” she said, nerves twisting and tightening deep inside her.
“The truth,” he said.
“Do you think less of me because we...because I seduced you without even knowing you?”
“No,” he said, cupping her face in his hands. He brushed a kiss across her lips. “No, not at all. I wanted to be with you. But I’m not sure I would have had the courage to make the first move.”
“You don’t think I’m...you know...the village bike?”
He chuckled. “No. I thought you were a woman who knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to go after it. And I still think that about you. You’re not afraid to live life, Sunny. And when I’m around you, I’m not afraid, either.”
“You’re a very kind man, Logan Quinn.”
“And you’re a very beautiful woman, Sunny Grant.”
They came together for a long, sweet kiss, Logan dragging her body against his, his hands searching for bare skin beneath her T-shirt. When he found her breast, he teased at her nipple with his thumb, drawing to a hard peak. Sunny closed her eyes and moaned softly.
What was it about this man that made him so irresistible? He was real and true, possessed of an inner resolve that she found so admirable, the kind of man a woman could depend upon.
When she was a teenager, she’d dreamed about her own personal Prince Charming, a man who would rescue her from all of her fears and insecurities. But as she grew older, the cynicism began to set in. She saw the worst that love could become in her parents’ horrible marriage and she stopped believing in fairy-tale endings.
But maybe she’d given up too soon. She was only twenty-six. That was far too early to harden her heart. “Come on,” she said. “The sooner we leave, the sooner we get where we’re going.”
“Maybe I don’t want this trip to end,” he said.
Sunny crawled off the bunk and grabbed her coffee, then slipped into her spot in the passenger seat. She pulled out the map. “How long is this trip?”
He followed her off the bed, standing in the middle of the campervan completely naked. The sight of his perfect body sent a delicious shiver through her. “From here? About four thousand kilometers. When we get to Adelaide, we’ll be about halfway there, give or take a few hundred kilometers.” He reached down to pick up his shorts.
“Stop,” she said.
He glanced up. “Stop?”
“Just let me look before you put your clothes on. It’s going to be a while before you take them off again.”
He chuckled. “Once we get out of town, I could strip down and drive starkers if that would please you.”
“Oh, yes,” she said. “That would be lovely.”
With a laugh, he pulled on his shorts and a T-shirt, and found a pair of trainers for his feet. Then he slipped behind the wheel.
“What, no underdaks?” she asked.
“If you refuse to wear
