It was late in the evening by the time Rory and Logan had reached his building in New York. Both were tired from the distance traveled, so they had agreed to just stay in and order some food when they got into his penthouse. Logan held open the door for her, making a mental note to have a key for Rory made the next day. Rory stepped foot into the enormous space and turned to Logan: "You don't really do anything half way do you?"
Logan walked towards Rory, who was now gazing out of the floor to ceiling windows that allowed for a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline. He wrapped both of his arms around her waste and leaned down so that his mouth was hovering around her neck. After he placed a light kiss on her neck he answered her question, "Ace, you should know by now that I give one hundred percent in everything I do."
"Good, because if I ever found out you were holding back on me there would be hell to pay Huntzberger."
"Noted," he told her as he went back to her neck to continue kissing. Rory softly moaned, "So, how do you like New York so far?" Logan asked, pretty sure of what her answer would be.
Rory broke free of enjoying the moment to answer, "I was loving it until someone had to ruin it just a few seconds ago," she quickly stepped away from Logan causing him to stumble slightly, "and now I think it's time for food."
"Ace," Logan said drawing it out to show his disappointment.
"Nope. On the helicopter over, that sounds so weird," Logan laughed, "you promised me food, and food I shall have. Perhaps later we can return to enjoying the skyline and other things, but for right now, food is what I desire."
Logan smirked at Rory and made his way to the phone ordering some Italian food from a place near by. "I'm really looking forward to watching that skyline after our food." He said after putting the phone down.
"Yeah, I mean it's a pretty great skyline, lots of stuff to look at, I'm sure it will take a while to fully take it all in," Rory said stepping closer to Logan, giving him a sensual look.
"Oh yeah?" Rory nodded, "You really think so?" Rory nodded again. "You know what I am hating at this very moment?" Logan asked as their foreheads were now touching.
Rory's head crinkled with concern with the seeming abrupt shift in the conversation and replied with some hesitation, "what are you hating right now?"
"That I suggested we get something to eat."
"Ace, you know you don't have to come right? You can get comfortable here, plan the location of things, make yourself at home, because in a few months it will be."

It was thirty minutes ago when Logan got a call telling him that there was an emergency that required his presence at the office. He sighed, wanting to spend the day with Rory in their apartment with no interruptions. He was surprised when Rory was excited about the prospect of visiting the office.
Rory smiled at Logan's acknowledgement that although she wasn't living with him full time yet that soon she was, and that this was going to be their home. "I know Logan, but I want to. You'll go do your soon to be mogul thing and I'll wander the halls, soaking in all the news-ness of the building."
"News-ness? Did you get a defective word of the day calendar or something?" Logan asked unable to suppress a wide grin.
"Oh shut up. At least this way we won't be separated for that long, I'll be with you until you go in, and will be there when you come out of your business. Then we'll go somewhere for the rest of the afternoon. Maximum time spent together. It's win – win for everybody."
"Oh yeah? Is there a bonus prize?" Logan asked as he watched her get in the car that the company had provided for him, and he got in after her.
"I guess you'll have to wait to find out how well you in the game…you know what game show metaphors for our relationship are going to be put on an indefinite hiatus. It's getting old."
"Yeah, I agree, plus all this talking is interrupting some serious together time before we make it to the office," the car had started moving, but they were still fifteen minutes away.
"Together time?" Rory looked at Logan like he sprouted wings. "Seriously? That's the alliteration you want to use?"
"Shut up and kiss me," Logan said humour and desire dripping from his tone.
"Let the together time commence."

When they reached the offices of Huntzberger Media in the city, Logan and Rory stepped out of the car and Rory took in the grand nature of the building. It was large and imposing, Rory was having difficulty thinking that one day this would be Logan's, this building wasn't like him. Logan broke her free of these thoughts by grabbing her and leading through the doors. Logan led Rory to a place just outside where he was required and began saying a brief good bye.
"So, this is me," he used his head to point at the conference room where the battle room would be for whatever he had to take care of. "Now, I don't know how long I'll be, but I assure you I won't be in there a moment longer than is absolutely necessary. You brought your cell right?" Rory nodded, "I'll phone you as soon as I'm out, and text you updates on occasion so you'll know what's going on," Rory smiled at the care Logan was taking to make sure she was kept well informed. "Feel free to wander around Ace, I know you'll want to soak everything in, but be warned things are kind of hectic around here right now, as you saw on the way up, so they won't be super friendly."
"So you won't be able to fire anybody if they yell at me for being where a stranger shouldn't?" Rory pouted.
"Sorry Ace, but if anyone yells at you, tell me about it. I'd like to know."
"Logan, I'm not going to tattle on your employees for being mad at someone who really shouldn't be here in the first place."
"You forgot to add the 'at the moment' at the end of that Ace. You belong here. You belong in this world, and you belong with me."
"Who else am I going to lean on when times get rough? Who's going to talk to me on the phone when the sun comes up?"
"I walked right into that one didn't I?" Logan asked.
"Yeah you really did, relax Logan, I'll be fine," Rory gave him a quick kiss beforing shooing him into his meeting, "go, go, there are deals to be done, papers to be saved, the news waits for no man,"
"I love you, Ace."
"You're going into a heated room with leather seats and with multiple telephone and broadband lines, not off to war, but I love you too Logan," with that Logan opened the conference room door, took one more look at Rory, and closed it behind him leaving Rory free to immerse herself in a new part of his world.
