Chapter 9

A/N: A little smut in this chapter. Logan ponders a…lot. Enjoy!

Logan POV

It didn't take long for Steph and I to pack a bag and head to the airport. When we landed in Hartford, Frank had picked us up and we headed straight for Colin's apartment. Despite the fact that Tristan was my cousin, I knew that I needed to be by Colin's side through this. Whether the outcome was good or bad. That was where I needed to be.

When we arrived at Colin's apartment, Finn was the one to open the door. "Bloody hell, mate! Did we know that you were coming?" Finn asked me, hugging me.

Steph and I stepped inside the apartment. "No. It was a spur of a moment decision." I told him. Finn nodded. "Has he heard from her?" I asked. Finn shook his head. "Hopefully, he'll hear from her soon. Where is he?" I asked.

Finn pointed to the spare room. When Colin had moved in he'd opted for a two bedroom so that he could have a home office. I walked over to the room and slowly opened the door. Walking into the room, I closed the door behind me. It was dark. No doubt he was probably sitting at his desk with a bottle of Scotch. I crossed the room. Yep. Definitely with a bottle of Scotch. "What're you doing here?" He asked me.

"Figured you might need some moral support…good or bad outcome." I told him. I sat on the couch to the side of the room.

He nodded. "Have you talked to her?" He asked me.

"No. Tristan called me last night. But I haven't talked to Rory since the other day." I told him honestly.

"I have no idea what I'm going to do if she picks him." Colin said.

"Well, you have me, Finn and Steph if she does. Also, she'd be stupid to pick him." I said. He glared at me.

We sat there in silence for the longest time.

Rory POV

I had one thing left to do. But before I did, I headed home. I quickly showered and changed clothes. I put on Colin's favorite dress that I owned. It was a beautiful strapless green dress and I threw on a pair of black ballet-style flats that I owned. Then I headed out. I just hoped that everything would work out.

When I arrived at Colin's, Finn opened the door, hugging me. I was surprised to see Steph there. I turned to Finn. "Where is he?" I asked him.

"Study. Logan's with him." Finn said. I nodded.

I walked over to the room and opened the door. Colin was sitting at his desk with a bottle of Scotch and Logan was on the couch. I looked at Logan. "Give us a minute?" I asked and he nodded. He walked towards me and kissed my cheek. When he walked out, he closed the door behind him.

I crossed the room, walking around the desk to leaned against it, beside Colin. He looked up at me. His eyes were red. "Hi." He said.

"Hi." I said.

He took in my appearance. "You look pretty." He said. He was drunk, that much was obvious.

"Thanks. Thought I'd wear your favorite one." I told him. He held his hand out and I took it, letting him pull me into his lap.

"Well it definitely looks good on you." He said, gently rubbing circles on the palm of my hand.

We were quiet for a few minutes before I said anything. "I'm sorry that I left town." I told him.

He shook his head. "I get it. I kind of threw the whole 'you're the love of my life' at you." He said.

"It wasn't just that." I said, quietly. "It was a lot of things." He gave me a pointed look. "It was a combination of Tristan coming back and your confession." I told him. He nodded. "Col, there's some stuff that I need to tell you." He nodded. "Even though Tristan loves me, he only came back because my Dad went to see him in Boston. My Dad and Grandmother instigated him coming to Hartford. He didn't come because he wanted to." I told him.

He raised his eyebrows at me. "He lied to you?" He asked me.

I nodded. "Yes, but before I found that out…I had already made up mind. And then I went to see my Dad about my suspicions and he confirmed them. I felt like an idiot, Colin. For a little over a day, he made me believe that he'd actually come back for me. To be with me. I feel so stupid Colin. Before he came back, I already knew that I was in love with you. And then he walked through the doors at the Chilton reunion, and I suddenly felt like I was sixteen again. He said all the right things and I believed him…without really questioning it. And then I stupidly brought him to our dinner. I never should have done that. I can only imagine that it felt like a slap in the face. I can't ever tell you how sorry I am for that." I said, feeling the tears that I'd been fighting all down finally start to fall. Colin reached up and wiped away the tears. "Col, I am so sorry that I hurt you and that I couldn't even tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to mean. When you told me you were in love with me, I wanted to tell you so much that I loved you too, but I also needed to deal with the Tristan aspect of it. But when I got home, he started questioning everything and I … got confused." I told him. I just hoped that he'd forgive me and that he still wanted me.

He didn't say anything at first. "And now?" He whispered.

I looked into his eyes. "Tristan isn't a problem anymore. I mean, I don't know if he'll stay in Hartford or at the firm, but he's not here for me. He never was." I said. He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me down to kiss him. His lips felt so good on mine. I'd missed them. I quickly deepened the kiss. I needed to feel more of him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and slid further into his lap. When breathing became necessary, we both pulled back. "Does this mean that you forgive me?" I asked, sheepishly.

He leaned his forehead against mine. "Only if it means that your my girlfriend and that you'll never push me away again." He said.

"I'd be stupid to do that." I said, before I leaned back in to kiss him.

Logan POV

When I walked back into Colin's kitchen, Steph was making coffee. "Is that normal strength or Gilmore strength?" I asked her, wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Gilmore. She'll complain otherwise." Steph said.

"True." I said.

"Do you think that things will work out for them?" Finn asked me joining us in the kitchen.

I shrugged. "I hope so." I said. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out to see Tristan calling. I quickly answered making my way to the balcony. "Hey man." I said.

"Hey. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going back to Boston." He said.

What? "Seriously? Why?" I asked him.

"She didn't pick me. I can understand why she didn't. I conspired with her family. She feels like I didn't come here for her but because of her family asking me to. I get it. Plus, I kind of lied to her. You know how she feels about that." Tristan said.

I definitely did. "Yeah. I do." I told him. "Take care of yourself." I told him.

"I will. Say hi to Steph for me." He said and hung up. I stood there on the balcony for a few minutes thinking about what this meant. Rory had picked Colin. I wanted to be happy for them but I wasn't sure if I could. I mean, sure…Rory had told both of us that we were idiots for fighting over her, and Colin and I had patched things up but it was going to be different seeing them together as a couple.

Colin POV

I couldn't believe it. She was finally mine. I quickly stood up, carrying Rory over to the couch in my study. I needed her and I needed her right then. It had been too long. I needed to touch her skin. I laid her down on the couch and kissed her again. I moved from her lips to her neck. I kissed the sensitive spot behind her ear, that I knew drove her crazy. She reached the bottom of my Polo shirt and pulled it off of me. She must be thinking the same thing as me. "Ror, baby, I need to get this dress off of you and I really like it…so if you don't want me to destroy it, take it off." I growled.

I leaned back and she pulled the dress over her head. She dropped it onto the floor. I leaned back down and started trailing kisses all over her body. "God, Col. I missed you so much." She moaned.

I couldn't help but smile at that. I loved the way that her body reacted to mine. I reached up and gently started tending to her breasts. I kneading them. My mouth quickly found hers again and she moaned into my mouth while I deepened the kiss. I quickly started tweaking her nipples. She arched her back slightly, while moaning again. God she was perfect. I released one of her nipples and with featherlight touches, I trailed one hand down her body to her hip. I rubbed small circles with my thumb. "Col, I need more." She whispered.

I leaned back, standing from the couch. I pulled her shoes off, then her panties. I quickly got rid of my own pants and shoes. I climbed back on the couch and began kissing her again. I took my thumb and quickly found her clit. I started rubbing circles on it. She started moaning again. They were like heavenly whispers coming from her mouth. I slid my hand down a little further into her folds and I couldn't believe how wet she was. "Damn, baby. Your so wet. Did I do that to you?" I asked huskily.

She nodded furiously. "Yes. Please Col." She moaned.

I leaned down to her ear. "Patience baby. It's been so long." I said.

I inserted a finger into her and started pumping in and out of her. Her head fell back further into the couch. "Please Col, I need more. It's not enough." She said.

I added another finger, while I reached with my other hand and started rubbing her clit again. That caused her to moan even more. I added a third finger. I increased the pressure on her clit. "More, Col." She breathed.

She was getting close. That much I knew. I gently pinched her clit knowing that it would push her further. I started pumping harder and faster. I could feel her tightening. "Yes Col, right there." She said. That was my girl. She was demanding in the bedroom and I loved every second of it. I pinched her clit again. Her thighs began to twitch. "Oh god!" She said a little louder. I leaned up and kissed her as she rode out her orgasm. I knew that she couldn't get too loud right now. Logan, Finn and Steph were somewhere in the apartment.

When she came back down, I released her. "Better baby?" I asked her.

She smirked at me. It was devilish. "A little. But you know what would make it even better?" She asked me as I tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"What's that?" I asked, knowing what she already had in mind.

"You inside of me." She said.

"Well, you know that's one of my favorite places to be." I said. And I knew exactly how she wanted me. I sat up on the couch and held my hand out to her. It took her no time at all before she was straddling my lap and lining me up with her entrance. When she slid herself down onto me, I moaned. I loved the feeling of being inside of her. We'd spent many nights in the beginning with me buried as deep as I could get inside of her. "Baby, you gotta move or I'm not gonna last." I said, gripping her hips. She started sliding up and down, maintaining a slow but steady pace. I gripped her hips tighter. She wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling herself closer to me. She started to pick up speed. I reached between us and gently rubbed her clit. "Oh Col. You feel so good." She said.

"Baby, you always feel good to me." I told her.

She picked up speed again and I applied more pressure to her clit. I reached up with my free hand and gently tugged on her hair, pulling her head back so that I had access to her neck. I leaned forward and started kissing up and down her neck and jawline. "More Col...please." She begged. She didn't beg often. I quickly stood up with her in my arms amd laid her on the couch with me on top. I gripped her hips again and I started pounding into her. "God!" She yelped. "That feels so good Col." she moaned.

I could feel her start to tighten around me so I moved one hand to her clit and began to alternate between rubbing and pinching her clit. It didn't take long for her to quickly fall over the edge with me not far behind.

Steph POV

When Logan came back in from the balcony, something seemed off. "Everything okay?" I asked him.

He walked over and sat beside me at the breakfast bar. "I'm not really sure. That was Tristan. He's going back to Boston. I don't think that I would've believed it, if I hadn't heard it straight from him. He lied to Rory. And she picked Colin." Logan said.

"Really?" Finn and I both asked at the same time. Logan nodded.

"Isn't that interesting." I said.

All of a sudden we heard a yelp come from Colin's study. "I guess they made up." Finn said.

I rolled my eyes. "I feel really weird waiting for them to come out of there in there having sex." Logan said.

"Oh come on. How many times have you heard Colin have sex?" Finn asked.

"More times than I can count." Logan said. "But that doesn't mean that I want to hear him and Rory having sex."

"Their almost done " Finn said.

Logan and I both stared at Finn. "Do we even want to know how you know that?" I asked him.

"Lived with Colin for a while when I had my penthouse remodeled. She yelps at the end." Finn told us. Logan just shook his head.

Colin POV

Rory and I were laying tangled on the couch. She had her head on my chest and I was running my fingers through her hair. "So, it's all over. We can move past this now." I said

She looked up at me. "I still have to deal with my Grandmother but otherwise...yes. We can finally move past this. It's just you and me and our son Finn." Rory said. We both laughed at the Finn part.

"We should probably get dressed. I'm sure that everyone is wanting to know what's going on." Rory said quietly.

I laughed. "Finn probably already told them that we were having sex." I told her.

"How would he know?" She asked me.

"Your yelp is your tell-tell sign." I told her. "He picked up on it when he stayed with me once."

She quickly covered her face with her hands. "I'm so embarrassed." She said.

I turned on my side and pulled her close. "Don't be. I think it's cute." I told her.
