A/N: Hey everyone, I am some what back. I know I've been really bad about uploading for this story but it's been hell lately. My mom was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and I started law school, so it's been wicked busy and a little hard to find a quiet moment to sit down and write. Thank you to everyone for sticking with me this long.

Please remember to review the story.

Chapter 5:

I could feel the sun slowly sinking in the sky, it was getting cooler out and it was almost time for me to head in. I must have drifted off again while reading, the sun just felt so damn amazing on my skin. Standing up, I reached skyward to stretch everything out. Hearing my back crack and joints all pop, I began picking up all my stuff that had managed to scatter itself all around me. After packing everything back up I began the small trek back to the cabin.

I slipped inside wondering here Logan had gotten off to, hoping he hadn't headed into town yet. Though with the way I slept and how considerate he could be when he wasn't being all growly and manly, I wouldn't put it past him to let me sleep out there while he ran his errands. I decided to head back towards my room so I could shower and change before dinner later tonight. Maybe Logan would cook again, or maybe I should. I figured I should probably find Logan first and ask what the plan was. I know he brought some kind of dessert for tonight, so maybe he would cook too.

After taking a lovely, long shower I felt refreshed and ready to go find Logan. While the cabin was small, his property was huge. He could be anywhere on it and I really didn't feel like hunting through a hundred plus acres of land for him. I figured if I stood on the porch and called for him he would show up eventually if he was on the property.

"Logan?!" I called hoping he was still around. I stood quietly for a few minutes on the porch waiting to see if he would respond. After five minutes there was movement to my left. I whipped my head around to see what it was moving. As I spun around I lost my balance and began to tumble off the porch. I could feel the momentum propel me off the porch towards the waiting hard ground. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly waiting for the impact I knew was coming. Nothing, there was nothing, no hard impact, no ouch, no pain, and there was now something soft under me. I cracked my left eye open to see what had happened. Looking around I noticed there was an arm around my waist and I was laying flat against a large broad chest. Wiggling a little bit I turned around and saw Logan staring back at me.

"You alright Marie?" He grunted out.

"Yeah, fine. Thank you for catching me. I really thought I was gonna take a tumble down the hill." I breathed out. Logan was really close, like really, really close. I could smell and feel him. He smelled of old leather and sweet cigars. I loved his smell. It was comforting, made me feel safe. Every time he moved I could feel his muscles ripple underneath his shirt.

"Naw, I had you as soon as I saw you lose balance. You should be less accident prone Darlin'." Logan said with a small scowl.

"Sure thing Logan. I'll try real hard to not be accident prone." I replied with a sarcastic smile.

Logan smiled back and began to move again. His arms wrapped tighter around my waist. He did a funny roll move and suddenly we were both on our feet and he was still holding me and he was rather close. We stood there for several moments staring at each other. I finally decided someone should say something to get us moving.

"Logan?"

"Yeah?" He breathed out.

"I think you can let me go now. I don't plan on falling again, promise."

"You sure about that Marie?" He asked teasingly.

"Yeah. Besides don't you need to head into town or cook dinner?" I teased back.

Logan released my waist and stepped back. "Yea, I still need to head into town. Did you still want to come?"

"That sounds lovely. Let me just get my shoes and we can leave."

"Alright but make it fast. I don't have all day to wait for you." He called as I darted back into the house to find my sandals.

Please remember to review. I love feedback!
