Enticed by the Operative (Doctors in Danger, Book 1)
Page 23
His face softened with understanding. “Is that why you’ve wanted me around so much lately?”
Olivia felt her face heat but nodded. “I’ve been afraid you were going to dump me now that we’re back. Like Scott.”
Logan leaned forward and grabbed her other hand. “Never. But do you still want me, after what I did?”
“You didn’t do anything,” she pointed out. “You had some questions, and now you know the truth. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing to forgive.”
His green eyes shimmered and he blinked hard. “I am so lucky,” he murmured.
She smiled, touched by his reaction. “We both are. But as long as we’re being honest with each other, I have a confession of my own to make.”
Logan swallowed and nodded. “Hit me. I deserve it.”
“I didn’t actually cook this lasagna.”
He was quiet for a moment, then a slow smile spread across his face. “You didn’t?”
Olivia shook her head. “Nope. Bought it from a little Italian place by my office. It’s good though, right?”
“Very. But why tell me? I would never question your cooking skills.”
“I don’t want any lies between us, Logan. Even silly little white lies about nothing. If we’re going to do this, we have to be able to trust each other.”
He nodded. “I won’t leave you, Olivia.”
“And I won’t lie to you, Logan.”
The look in his eyes grew heated, and Olivia felt an answering tingle deep in her belly. Logan rose from the table and extended his hand. “Come on. We need to celebrate properly.”
Olivia stood, anticipation thrumming in her blood. “But what about your head? The doctor said no strenuous activity for at least a week.”
The look he shot her was positively sinful. “Don’t worry. I have faith in your healing skills. I’ve seen you in action, remember?”
She laughed, feeling genuinely happy for the first time in months. “I’m not a miracle worker.”
He pressed a kiss to her temple. “You’re my miracle worker,” he whispered.
She wrapped her arms around him. “And you’re mine,” she said.
“Let’s go find out what it’s like to make love on a bed.” He sounded almost giddy at the prospect.
“Are you sure you can handle it?” she teased. “What about your head?”
He smiled, and she felt the warmth in his eyes like the touch of the sun. “As long as you’re with me, I can handle anything.”
