Chapter 185: The unfinished intimacy

She caught his reflection in the mirror... those dark eyes smoldering with restraint he was rapidly losing.

"You were enjoying me getting scolded earlier," he murmured against her skin, lips trailing up toward her ear. "You looked so smug while Mom tore into me."

Jean bit her lip, meeting his eyes in the glass. "You deserved it."

"I don’t disagree," he whispered, mouth just below her jaw now. "But you do know there’s a price for betrayal..."

His hand slipped down, tugging at the edge of her towel.

She sucked in a breath. "What price?"

Logan’s smirk turned darker. "Let me show you."

"Ah...nn...ahn..." A lewd throaty voice escapes from her lips as her tongue sticks out for him to devour with his. While their tongues overlapping in a messy dance, both of his hands are now fondling her breasts over her wet towel.

"Logan..." She moaned in want... not in protest. Not anymore.

She used to hate it when she experienced this the first time Tyler did but now, with his heated touch, her body screams for more.

Once again, his kiss, his touch and the knee purposefully pressing the heated core between her legs made her oddly want to go further.

Then, his lips part from hers, leaving a trail of saliva before it breaks. He peppered her kisses through her cheek, the traces of her chin until it trails down to her neck as he immediately finds her sensitive spot.

"Ah!"

He later continues abusing that place, his tongue lapping the soft bite on her neck.

Jean lay beneath him, flushed and glowing... the aftermath of kisses and tangled sheets still humming through her limbs. Logan’s weight hovered over her, his chest bare, his fingers gliding down the soft curve of her hip.

His mouth brushed her jaw. "You’re driving me insane, you know that?"

Jean smiled lazily, eyes half-lidded. "That’s the idea."

Logan groaned low in his throat and leaned in, trailing open-mouthed kisses along her collarbone, hand sliding under the loosened towel.

"I want all of you Jean... I don’t think I can stop not going further..." He murmured against her skin.

Jean arched slightly into his touch and then, with perfect timing, pushed at his chest.

"Mm-mm. Not tonight."

Logan blinked. "What?"

She looked up at him, smug as ever.

"I’m on my period. Just found out while showering."

He froze. "You’re joking."

She smirked, propping herself up on one elbow. "Do I look like I’m joking?"

His eyes narrowed, suspicion and disbelief warring in his expression. "So that entire seduction routine was just to..."

"Wind you up?" Jean finished sweetly. "Absolutely."

Logan groaned and collapsed onto the bed beside her, burying his face into the pillow.

Jean giggled.

"You’re evil," he mumbled.

She turned toward him, planting a quick kiss on his shoulder. "And yet you’re obsessed."

He peeked at her with one eye. "You owe me after this. I want interest."

Jean shrugged. "Take it up with Mother Nature."

He rolled over with a dramatic sigh and pulled the covers over his head.

She leaned in, whispering near his ear, "Also... I finished all the chocolate too."

"JEAN."

"Go... get me some now!"

Her laugh echoed from inside the bathroom, long after she slipped out to the bathroom grabbing her tampons from the drawer... towel still intact to her body, mood still victorious.

And Logan?

Logan just lay there, defeated by cramps, cravings, and the most maddening woman he’d ever fallen for.

And damn it all...

He still wanted her.

Later, with her limbs tangled in sheets and Logan’s breath warm against the nape of her neck, Jean lay still... her body humming, heart oddly calm.

He kissed the curve of her shoulder softly.

Not teasing now. Not punishing.

Just there.

Feeling her presence.

"Wear something that makes every man stare at the party," he murmured into her skin, "and only I’ll know you’re mine."

Jean turned toward him, sleepy-eyed. "And what if I make every woman stare instead?"

Logan grinned lazily, brushing a finger down her spine. "Then I’ll count that as a win too."

The early morning light spilled lazily across the Kingsley master bedroom, brushing over linen sheets and half-open curtains.

Jean was curled on her side, hair mussed, a heat pack resting low on her stomach. She wore one of Logan’s old cotton T-shirts, oversized, worn thin, and hanging just enough to tempt him.

Logan stood by the doorway with a mug of warm tea in one hand and two pills in the other, staring at her like she was a painting that had rearranged his entire world.

"I made you ginger tea," he said, finally walking over. "Painkillers, too. You better not fake cramps just to keep teasing me, by the way."

Jean cracked one eye open, smiling faintly. "Don’t flatter yourself. The cramps are real. But if I were faking..." frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Evil," he muttered, crouching beside the bed and placing the mug on the nightstand.

Jean sat up with a tiny wince, pulling her knees toward her chest.

"You okay?" he asked, voice softer now.

She nodded, reaching for the pills. Their fingers brushed, and for a moment, the playfulness faded into something quieter, something still.

Jean drank the tea slowly. "Thanks."

Logan leaned his chin on the mattress beside her leg. "You’re lucky you look cute even when you’re pale and mildly homicidal."

She smirked. "You’re lucky I don’t throw this mug at you."

He smiled, brushing his thumb lightly against her ankle. "What do you need?"

Jean looked down at him, crouched by the bed, still in his black T-shirt and grey sweats, morning stubble shadowing his jaw.

This version of Logan was rare. Quiet. Not charming or cocky or ruthless.

Just... here.

And hers.

"I need a heating pad," she murmured. "Some chocolate. And maybe..."

"A foot rub?"

Jean tilted her head. "No, but now that you offered, yes."

Logan gave her a look. "You’re milking this."

She raised a brow. "Your mother would want you to take care of me."

That did it.
