His brow raised and he shook his head. "No, ya don't. That ain't how this system has ever worked. I protect you, not the other way around, it's worked just fine that way so far so let's keep it that way." Logan offered her a smile and winked at her. "I ain't goin' nowhere, not this time. An' if I did you can bet your ass I'm comin' back as fast as I can."
Things turned rather quickly, the whole setting changed yet stayed the same. "I'm not gonna run off and leave ya because of yer skin. Hell, I'll find a way around that if I have ta. Now, you gotta stop shyin' away from me. Ya don't scare me Marie. Touchin' ya don't scare me, so stop it. Yer not a little girl anymore, it's time to face this head on instead of build walls to hide behind. If I didn't love ya I wouldn't say that to ya."
He let his eyes move over her and licked his lips. "An' ya know, sometimes it ain't you that's gotta be covered up. You wanna wear a little less around the house, I damn sure won't complain. And until you get relaxed, I'll be careful." He gave her a lopsided grin. "Think I just gave you a little more incentive to learn control, don't ya think?" Not that it mattered to him, like he said, there were ways around it.
Logan couldn't resist and leaned down over her, his lips a breath away from hers as he looked into her eyes. "What is it Marie.. tell me." His hand caressed her side over the fabric of her shirt. God was his mind racing.
