we’re m ovie stars. I came here to relax and enjoy the week with some old friends while my lieutenant decides what to do with me since my accident. But,” he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, “without looking, I found you.”
Heat moved up her neck, and her cheeks blushed, as heat pooled in her lower regions.
He continued, “And every minute we waste asking ourselves why or what if or what next, we lose time we could be finding out. So,” he paused searching her eyes, “I’m asking you to not think about tomorrow, just think about right here, right now. Have dinner with me tonight?”
“Logan…” she said in a muffled voice. He stepped closer, taking her hands in his.
“Alana,” he said more sternly this time, “have dinner with me tonight? One night, that’s all I’m asking. No funny business, I swear.”
She giggled, “But what if I want funny business , Sergeant Montgomery?” she asked teasingly, a playful look on her face.
Logan looked surprised, a wide grin spread across his face.
“Oh, I think we can handle that too,” pulling her hands to his mouth, he kissed the backside of her fingers. “So, I can take that as a yes then?”
“Yes,” she said, “dinner tonight. I get off at seven. You want to meet me at my place?”
“Sounds perfect,” he stepped closer, brushing his lips softly against hers, taking her breath away. “Now maybe I can get a nap, just in case you want more than just dinner .”
“That’s not fair! You can’t sleep until I get to.” She puckered her bottom lip like a three-year-old, smacking him across his arm.
“We might be in trouble then,” he chuckled.
Pulling her into his arms and hugging her tight, he kissed her gently. He deepened the kiss, pulling her hips in closer to him. She felt his excitement pressed against her stomach. Suddenly breaking the kiss, he groaned and kissed the top of her head.
“I better let you go while I still have the willpower to do it.” He felt so warm she didn’t want to leave his embrace.
“Yeah, that’s probably a good idea,” She cleared her throat. “My willpower is running on low too.”
Brushing his lips across hers one more time, he opened her car door for her, and helped her in. “I’ll see you later tonight?” he asked more than said.
“Yes, tonight.” She started her car and pulled away, watching him getting smaller in her rearview mirror.
Alana felt so good in his arms he hadn’t wanted to let her go. He was going to make sure she didn’t ever want him to let her go after tonight. Everything was going to be perfect. He was going to make her see that he wanted more than a fling, as she loved to say. Funny, he had spent his whole life running from relationships for fear he couldn’t show any affection. Now, all he wanted to do was show Alana she meant something to him. He didn’t know what he could offer after this week was over, but the thought of leaving her sickened him already. Shaking off the thought, he started planning his night.

Logan returned to the hotel room looking like the cat that ate the canary. Alana said yes . Bursting into the room, he walked to the sliding glass doors and jerked the drapes back allowing the bright sunshine into the room.
“Son-of-a-bitch!” Dusty grumbled, “What the hell man!”
“Logan…” Becky yelled, ducking her head under the covers to block the sun from her eyes.
Dusty and Becky had spent almost every minute together since they met. Could his best friend be turning over a new leaf? Logan hoped so. Never seeing his friend so lovestruck with a woman, ever , it was a welcomed change. He was glad there hadn’t been a parade of half naked women running in and out all hours of the night.
“You two are wasting a beautiful morning,” he grinned.
“Beautiful morning my ass!” Dusty rolled to put his back to the sun. “What’s got you all rainbows and sunshine and shit? Last night you were packing up and heading
