The ball was approaching the end. Rory had danced with Logan, Colin, and Finn and was now being twirled around the dance floor by Robert.
Rory had met Robert a week prior while she was talking to Logan and when he asked her to dance she didn't want to be rude and decline.
Logan watched as Robert and Rory danced around the ballroom floor talking and laughing. He felt his heart sink and knew that there was a scowl gracing his features but he didn't care.
"Wipe that look off your face." A voice from behind him said.
Turning around he saw Steph sitting across from him. "What look? There is no look." Logan denied.
"So the pout you are currently sporting is just because you have aspirations of being a model?" Logan just glared. He didn't care if he was being childish; Robert had what he wanted and that made him angry.
"She doesn't like him, you know." Steph continued. "Her eyes don't sparkle like they do when she's bickering with you."
"I prefer to call it bantering." Logan interjected.
"Call it what you want but her whole face lights up when you two do that annoying back and forth thing. You make her think, your comments are just as witty as hers and you don't sit there for ten minutes trying to think of a comeback."
"Has that actually happened?"
"Yes, her ex-boyfriend Dean couldn't think of anything to say so he just sat there." Steph said with a laugh.
"I'm sure he was a winner." Logan said sarcastically.
"Oh yeah, perfect gentleman broke up with her in front of her entire town."
"Are you serious?" Logan asked and Steph just nodded. "She doesn't deserve that." he whispered.
"I think you might want to go save your damsel in distress." Steph said pointing to where Robert seemed to be making Rory very angry.
"I'm on it." Logan told her and quickly made his way to the dance floor to where Rory and Robert were standing. "May I cut in?" he asked putting on a charming smirk.
"Whatever." Robert said walking away in a huff.
"Care to explain what just occurred?" Logan questioned as he pulled Rory into his arms.
"No."
"Tell me!" Logan whined.
A small smile graced Rory's lips at Logan's childish behavior. "He wanted to escort me back to his cabin for a little fun."
"Oh." Logan said as he got angrier by the second. He really never liked Robert and this just made it worse.
"I told him I already had a cottage where fun awaited me." Rory told him blushing.
His anger dissolved and his heart melted. Most girls he'd been with would have said that comment seductively as if they were trying to persuade him, but as he was learning Rory wasn't most girls. She was shy about it, almost as if she was asking his permission to have said that.
He just smiled and pulled her closer to him. Rory rested her head on his shoulder and relaxed into his embrace. He placed a small kiss on the top of her head as they continued to dance.
As the song ended, so did the ball. Everyone began filing out of the ballroom and saying their goodbyes.
Rory and Logan had stopped dancing, but they had yet to remove themselves from each other. Logan's arm was still wrapped around her waist as Logan said goodbyes to people and as they walked back to the cottage.
As they entered Colin and Paris went their separate ways to get cleaned up after the ball but Steph and Finn skipped that step and both went straight to Finn's room.
Rory had hesitantly released herself from Logan's grip and made her way to her own room. Upon entering she collapsed on her bed, finally having the chance to think.
After her talk with Logan, earlier that evening, she found herself wanting to be as close as humanly possible to him.
His touch was addictive, his smile made her knees week, and his scent drove her crazy. She didn't know if she should be feeling this way about him, because if given the chance he could break her heart in an instant.
Logan had told her he had feelings for her and she wasn't going to try and convince herself that she wasn't completely smitten with him.
She wanted to trust him – she wanted to believe that he could change for her, but at the same time she had her doubts. Was he really going to be able to leave his promiscuous ways behind and commit to her?
She carefully took off her dress and placed it neatly back into its box. Walking into the bathroom for a shower she hoped the hot water would help clear her mind.
Twenty minutes later Rory emerged into her room wrapped in a towel. She felt a bit more relaxed about the situation with Logan. She decided that for once she was going just let things happen.
She had finished getting dressed when she heard a loud moan come from the room next door. Rory knew exactly who it was but she was hoping it was just a one time slip and they were going to be quieter.
Unfortunately, Rory's wish did not come true. Just then the moans and groans became louder and more frequent.
Wrinkling her nose she knew that she couldn't possibly stay in her room, especially if Steph and Finn intended to do that all night.
Walking down the hall she stopped in front of a large wooden door. She took a deep breath before knocking.
The door swung open a few seconds later and Rory was greeted with the same sight she had been the night before. Logan was wearing nothing but boxers and his hair was damp from his shower.
"Are we reenacting 'Groundhog Day?'" Logan questioned leaning up against the door frame.
"Whatever do you mean?" Rory asked innocently.
"Never mind, care to come in?" Rory nodded and brushed past him into the fire heated room.
"I love the smell in here." She told him as she inhaled deeply.
"The smell of my aftershave?" Logan smiled cockily.
"No, silly! The fireplace."
"I knew I could never compete with burning wood." he teased.
"So, not that I mind but why are you here?" He asked while sitting down on the bed.
Rory sauntered over to him and sat down. "Finn and Steph's room is right next to mine."
Logan's face twisted with disgust, "Enough said."
"Yeah, that and I am pretty sure even though Colin and Paris decided to stay friends they are still going to have sex because well, they can."
"So, apparently hearing your friends make sex noises isn't appealing." He teased.
"Definitely not, if I am going to hear sex noises they better well be coming from me." She replied as she watched the fire.
Logan smirked, she didn't realize what she had just said. "That's an opening."
"What?" Rory asked then replayed her sentence and instantly blushed. "Oh, god."
"Don't worry Ace. I'm not going to jump your bones because you made a suggestive comment. In fact I'm actually rather proud."
"You're proud of me for making dirty remarks?"
"Yep." He smiled and lay down on his bed.
"It's odd…so would my mother." Rory laughed.
"You just compared me to your mother." Logan said in shock.
Rory took in his appearance. He was just lying there casually like he didn't have a care in the world. He wasn't trying to look appealing to her and that made him all the more sexy.
This was her chance to let down her barriers, to prove that love could be on her side. Leaning forward she crushed her lips against his.
She pulled a half an inch away waiting for him to respond, which he did by pulling her onto him.
Her knee was unconsciously resting in between his legs and it was driving him crazy as she applied different amounts of pressure every time she shifted.
Breaking away to catch his breath he shifted so she was straddling his hips instead. "Time for a position change."
"Oh and here I was thinking that you didn't change positions till all the clothes came off." Rory retorted as she began to kiss his neck.
"Speaking of…" Logan trailed off and tugged at the bottom of Rory's tank top. She lifted her arms helping him remove her shirt.
Rory's mouth reconnected with his body placing butterfly kisses all over his neck and chest.
This was something new and incredibly exciting for Logan. Any other girl he'd ever been with was always rough and rushed, but Rory was taking her time placing feather light kisses on him. This was driving him absolutely crazy.
Rory trailed down Logan's body and dipped her tongue into his bellybutton. She knew she was in over her head, but she figured since she was already there she was going to explore a little.
Logan felt Rory tug on his boxers, looking down at her he propped himself up on his elbows. "Rory, What are you doing?"
"I didn't think I'd need to explain it to you." She told him softly.
"You know what I mean. You're not ready to do this again."
"Yes, I am!" Rory said childishly. Who was he to tell her what she was ready for?
"Need I remind you of the last 24 hours?"
"Logan, I told you that I didn't regret it. I cried because I was confused and panicked. When you fell asleep last night I was there taking everything in. As close as my mother and I are sex is a taboo topic. The information I have on sex is based on health class and Cosmo."
"I guess I should be grateful, those Cosmo magazines really do have some good tips."
Logan added trying to lighten the mood. "Do you want my explanation or not? After all you're the one that doesn't want to do this!" Rory said exasperated.
Logan's face softened and he smiled, "I never said I didn't want to, but you're not ready Rory. I should have thought with my head instead of my…well you know what I mean. I didn't have the best judgment."
"No, this isn't your fault. I was ready! I didn't know what to expect. So, last night as I was sitting there, I was sore and thoughts were running through my head a mile a minute. I needed to get some insight."
"Sore." Logan repeated quietly.
"Yes, sore…you know like an ache you get when you do something your muscles aren't used to. It can happen while you lift heavy things, run more than usual and even having sex for the first time." Rory teased.
"I know what being sore means Rory, I just…I never thought to make sure you were ok."
Rory let out a frustrated sigh. She was ready to do it again, she wanted to have sex again but Logan couldn't look past her behavior this morning. Though, she could understand why he was hesitant, it was driving her crazy.
Rory slowly crawled up his body and sat next to him. Taking his hand in hers, she decided she had to make this crystal clear to him.
"Logan, believe me when I say last night was probably one of the most exhilarating nights of my life. You took me on a dirt bike and drove me through a ring of fire; you showed me how to express my feelings for someone in a different way than using words. I do not regret anything; I've never been in the situation I was in this morning, so I freaked out. Please don't hold that against me."
Logan let her words sink, as they did his conversation with Finn echoed in his mind.
"I don't care if she threatened to tell every girl at Yale you're gay. Why would you have sex with her? You know your reputation and that means you should know better than to use girls like Rory and then cast them aside."
"I'm not going to cast her aside!"
"Then what Logan? She knows that she was one of the many. She knows that you don't think she's special. She's not going to want to be someone in your little black book."
He knew if he decided to do this, give into what they both wanted, he had to do it all the way. There would not be a new bedmate for every night of the week from now on. He'd have Rory; he'd take care of her and be there for her when she needed him.
Looking down into her big blue eyes filled with innocence he realized he'd do it anyway. Even if he didn't commit to her, he'd make sure she was taken care of. Because he knew that Rory had already weaseled her way into his heart.
"You're special, you know. You're definitely not one of the many." He told her making sure she knew that.
Smiling at him sweetly she leaned up and placed a tender kiss on his lips. "That's good to know."
Rory leaned over to place an innocent kiss on his lips but Logan pulled her down and deepened it.
Logan moved over her and quickly removed her pajama pants. Moving so she was straddling his hips Rory once again began her journey down his body.
As she came to the elastic band of his boxers Rory tugged on them again. Logan looked down at her and searched her eyes for any hesitation but he couldn't find any. He gave her a small smile to let her know it was ok.
Rory slowly pulled Logan's boxers off and threw them to the floor to join her pants and shirt. Rory lowered her mouth onto Logan and she heard his breathing hitch.
Logan's mind went completely blank the moment Rory's mouth touched him. He'd been in this situation many times before with other girls, but it was just a distraction. With Rory it was more than that, it seemed to feel like it had meaning.
His eyes fell on Rory as he let himself feel the things she was evoking in him take over his body. He felt his body begin to shake as he let out a loud moan.
He wanted to stop her, tell her to move away before he lost all control but his voice wasn't working. All that would come out were moans and labored breathing.
She continued and he felt himself release.
Logan heard Rory make a slight noise but then she crawled up his body and placed little kisses on his chest as his breathing slowed.
"I'm sorry." He told her once he managed to control his voice again.
"For…what…"she mumbled in between kisses.
"For not telling you to stop before I…" He trailed of but was stopped by Rory placing a kiss on his lips.
"Will you stop apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong!" Rory said with her voice teetering on the edge of annoyance.
"Aggressive…I like that." Logan smirked before flipping them over and quickly ridding Rory of her bra and underwear.
Logan's head dipped to lavish her chest but she stopped him. "No. I want you now." she said anxiously.
Her eagerness was something he found to be a complete turn on as he reached into his nightstand and produced a condom. He went to tear the wrapper off, but Rory grabbed it from him.
She only took a minute to unwrap it, but for Logan it seemed like she was intentionally taking hours just to torture him.
Reaching down she stroked him lightly, causing him to groan before she slipped the latex onto him.
Logan hovered over Rory and brushed the hair out of her face before placing a kiss on her forehead. "You won't leave after, right?"
Rory smiled and nodded, "Promise."
Logan pushed himself inside of her causing Rory to gasp in pleasure.
Rory found that this time it was much more comfortable and enjoyable than the last time. Again she wrapped her legs around his waist. "Deep…Hard…Please." she moaned breathily in pleasure.
Logan obliged quickly to her demands and thrust his hips faster against hers. They fell into ecstasy at the same time calling each other's name.
Collapsing against each other they just lay there catching their breaths until Logan had enough energy to remove himself from Rory and dispose of the condom.
This time Rory moved closer and snuggled into Logan's arms. "Any desire to leave?" he asked her.
"I don't have any desire to move, much less get up, get changed and walk back to my room." She laughed snuggling further into his bare chest.
Logan squeezed her tighter against him and couldn't help but think that this is where she belonged. This is where they belonged. He'd never been good with showing emotion, especially with the people he cared about, but Rory seemed like she would be patient with him while he worked through his own issues.
