When You’re Ready Teaser #4

Yesterday, I posted another teaser when my Facebook page reached 400 LIKES!

As always, this is from my unfinished, unedited (my editor is probably about ready to kill me right now) version of my manuscript, and is subject to change. 🙂

Enjoy!

When You’re Ready Teaser #4

The front door I had been staring at opened, startling me.

“You gonna stand out here all day?” Logan asked, leaning against the door frame as he casually threw a kitchen towel over his shoulder.

“Ah, no. Sorry. Scatterbrained.”

“You mean nervous?” he said, motioning to the overnight bag that was slung over my shoulder.

Blushing, I nodded. The overnight bag had been a huge cause of contention between Leah and me. She told me to pack it. I told her it was being presumptuous.

“No need for nervousness, Clare. You hold all the cards tonight,” Logan winked as his eyes traveled  the length of my body, making me instantly flush.

“Did I mention you look amazing? Downright fucking beautiful,” he declared.

And every bit of nervousness I had evaporated as his pale blue eyes meet mine.

He could have me. Here. Now. Any way he wanted.

“Dinner, Clare. We have to eat first,” he breathed in my ear.

“Right. Food
