Chapter One
This takes place the summer before freshman year of college after her trip to NY with her father.
Veronica wasn't ready to jump right back into her relationship with Logan but she definitely was ready to revisit the idea. They agreed to meet for coffee at a local coffee shop, one where everyone they knew wouldn't be at, to talk. She had to admit, she took a little extra time getting ready to meet him. She'd put on a little makeup and picked out a cute outfit, all the things she rarely bothered with.
As she got out of her car and headed to the coffee shop she thought about how her dad told her again he wanted her to be careful with Logan. She knew he didn't trust him and while in some ways she trusted him she couldn't help but have that little bit of doubt in the back of her mind.
She opened the door to the cafe and walked in. She stood for a moment looking around to find Logan when she noticed him in the back corner. He was leaning over the table reading a magazine and sipping his coffee. He looked deep in thought and a buzz throughout her body just looking at him. As she stood there frozen he suddenly looked up and locked eyes with her. Was it her imagination or did she just lose all willpower when he gave her his usual smirk?
"Hey," she said as she sat down across from him.
"Hey," he said smiling at her like he knew something she didn't, "want me to get you a latte?"
"Sure.." she replied as he got up from the table and went to get her a coffee.
The allure of Logan is something you can't quite explain. It's not his looks or even his actions, it's just something about him. He had a way of bringing things out in you that you didn't even know existed. When she was with Duncan she definitely loved him but with Logan it's something more completely overwhelming at times. Sometimes she felt herself actively trying to push him away because it was just easier than completely lettering him in.
He came back to the table and put one of those huge cups that are supposed to be a mug in front of her. She took a sip and licked her lips, she noticed that Logan was watching her lips the entire time and nearly dropped her drink on the table. He then reached across the table and took her hand in his. He had this way of being completely adorable and a playboy at the same time, it was a gift for sure.
"So I just want you to know, before you say anything at all, that I'm completely in. If you want something casual that's ok and if you want to get serious I'm in for that as well. All I know is, I want to be with you," he said running his thumb across the palm of her hand.
"I'm in," she spit out before she could convince herself otherwise, "but I want to take this slow."
"Does that mean we aren't going back to my place?" he asked bluntly.
"Subtle Logan, no, I'm not going back to your place," she said taking a piece of his bagel and cream cheese.
"Veronica, you are so dirty, I can't believe you thought I was trying to bed you or something."
"You mean you weren't?"
"I never try..." he said with the slightest smile you could barely see and then he took a sip of his coffee.
"Well, either way, I am on a case today and have to leave soon."
"Where are you going?"
"I have to go to the local library to talk to a Librarian to see if she can answer some questions I have," she said taking some big gulps of her latte so she could leave sooner, she felt like if she stayed too much longer she might lose some of the control she was trying so hard to hold onto.
"I'll drive if you like, I need to go to the library anyway," he said seriously.
"Why do you need to go to the library?" she asked suspiciously.
"I do read you know, Veronica," he said and seemed a bit offended.
"Playboys don't count."
"Hey, they have great articles," he said finishing his coffee and got up to walk with her out the door.
"Fine, but you have to be on your very best behavior, ok?" she said sternly.
"You won't even know I'm there," he said with a grin and she knew she was making a mistake.
At the library she went to talk to some of the librarians while Logan wandered off somewhere. She wrote down some information in her notebook and then realized that since Logan was her ride she had to find him. She walked around for a while and he was nowhere to be seen. She went to the third floor where people rarely went and found him at the end of one of the isles looking at a book. As she got closer she realized it was a book on minerals and had the feeling he had duped her, he wasn't really here to find a book.
She walked up to him and stood in front of him.
"I don't believe you are interested in minerals," she whispered.
"Did you ever think maybe there is a lot you don't know about me?" he whispered back not looking up from his book.
"I'm sure you're right..." she said rolling her eyes, "can we leave now?"
"Wait, I want to show you something," he said turning so she could look at the book he was holding, "did you know these rocks right here, you can only find them in a small town in Japan?"
"Fascinating..." she said refusing to give into his little game. She took the book from him, closed it and put it back on the shelf. She was turned to leave and he held her wrist while facing her back. She stopped suddenly, unable to move a muscle. Logan moved closer to her so much so that she could feel his warm breath on the back of her neck. He ran his fingers down her arm so slowly that she nearly gasped out loud.
"Logan..." she moaned leaning her head back, unable to think clearly.
"Yes?" he breathed into her ear and then slowly down her neck and across her shoulder.
"Uhm," she said unable to remember how to speak, how to think or even how to breathe at this point.
"Well..." he said giving little kisses down the back of her neck, "I think this is the first time I've ever seen you speechless."
Logan then turned her around slowly and she felt her back against the bookcase. He proceeded to kiss her fingers, her wrist and every spot of her except where she wanted him to kiss. She couldn't stand it anymore, she had to kiss him. She tried to pull him into her to kiss her but he pulled away just as their lips nearly touched. He did this over and over again, driving her insane. She could feel his hard-on pushed up against her and every inch of her was tingling.
"Will you just fucking kiss me?" she nearly cried out. With that Logan stepped back as if this had been nothing more than a study session and she stood there with her mouth gaping open.
"We should probably leave huh?" he said walking away and heading out of the library.
Veronica waited a few minutes until she calmed down enough to be able to walk straight. She wished she was the least bit surprised by him but he loved to play games and even more so he loved to make her squirm.
When she got to the car he was acting like nothing had happened. He talked about some movie he'd seen recently as he drove and then dropped her off home. She was still in shock as he kissed her on her forehead and she got out of the car.
Luckily her dad wasn't home so she just went to take a cold shower, her first cold shower ever. Unfortunately the shower didn't help enough and when she got out she headed to her bedroom. She laid down on her bed in her towel and ran her hand down her body to her clit. As she touched herself she imagined Logan with his tongue exploring every inch of her body. She rocked her hips as she reached climax and crumbled into a ball.
Later that evening she heard her cell phone ringing as she was doing some research on a case on the computer. She picked up her phone and saw it was Logan. She sighed and then answered the phone.
"Yeah?" she answered annoyed.
"Is that anyway to answer the phone when your boyfriend calls?" he laughs.
"No but it is just the right way to answer the phone when my ex-boyfriend calls," she says giving him shit.
"Sorry for getting your undies in a twist today," he laughed at his own joke, "but I'd really like to make it up to you."
"What were you thinking? Water torture?" she growled.
"You know, you're the one who wanted to take it slow," he reminded her.
"For me, taking it slow doesn't include public foreplay."
"Well, ok, you got me there, I just couldn't help myself," he admitted, "I'd like to take you somewhere special tomorrow."
