“I called for you?” I question, thinking back over the crash, everything happened so quickly, I don’t remember much of it. Not true, there’s one part I remember lots of. I drop my head quickly to try and hide the blush in my cheeks. Logan acts as if he hasn’t noticed and carries on our conversation, but I’m sure he knows the exact thought I just had.
“Yeah, you called my name, and then we followed your scent to find you, when we did, oh god Alexia, I didn’t know what to do. I think I almost killed Dom; he was only trying to help. But I was going crazy; I didn’t want anyone touching you. And then when we got here I was talking to you while you were still unconscious and you told me why you were out driving.” He walks over to me and just stands in front of me.
“I told you why... while I was unconscious?” I deliberately try to think of anything other than why I was out there. Anything other than kissing Chris and that text. Logan gives me a quizzical look dropping his head to the side.
“Yeah you said... Ice cream. That’s why you were out right? You would tell me if there was anything else. You can trust me. You do trust me... don’t you?” worry and doubt fill his eyes and I immediately close the small gap between us wanting to take away his worry.
“Yes I trust you Logan, I do. It's just ...” Do I tell him about the strange messages and notes? I don’t want to risk him getting angry again, or mention the whole Chris and me kissing incident.
“Just what? I can’t help you if you don’t tell me.” I cup the side of his face with my hand, trying to help soothe his worry.
“It's nothing, just me worrying over nothing. Just Tara messing around I’m sure, she sent Amber a weird text. I’ll deal with it.” I don’t quite think he’s buying it but he lets it go.
“How about we just go watch a film, stop all this talking and just relax. Doc said you needed rest, not information overload. I’ll bring the rest of the ice-cream?” he smiles cheekily at me.
“Ok deal” I say with a smile of my own. I turn to head out the kitchen and back upstairs to his room but he takes hold of my arm and gently pulls me back to him.
“There’s just one thing I need to clear up before we do. I wont be able to relax otherwise and I don’t want to get into a fight about it, so please if you don’t understand my reasoning please don’t get upset and we can just talk about it.
“Okay, what is it.” I ask, turning my body back to face him fully.
“Please promise me, don’t let O'Connor or anyone else do this... I won't be able to control myself if they do.” He places his hands on both side of my face and the intensity of his look leaves me breathless.
“Do what exactly...” I barely manage to whisper out.
“This...”

He places his lips on mine, kissing me. It’s not tender and gentle, its full of passion and desire and it energizes me into responding with the same amount of passion. I feel my feet leave the floor and his arms drop lower to my waist to lift and hold me flush against him. We finally pull away from each other when we need air.
“Promise me?” he asks again, my bruised lips feel too numb to form words so I have to settle for nodding my head in agreement. I’m rewarded with a breath-taking smile and a flash of something golden in his eyes. I’m assuming his wolf side was happy with my answer.
His wolf side... That sounds so weird. So much has happened in the past few hours I’m not even fully sure I’ve taken it all in. Maybe that’s why I seem to be dealing with everything so efficiently. I have so many questions.
“You really should go and put some clothes on” He says while lowering me to the ground.
“Otherwise I’m going to want you half naked all the time. Actually that’s not a bad idea, forget the clothes.” His eyes leisurely slide down my body and linger on my bare legs and back up to meet my eyes with a sly smile on his face and another glow in his eyes.
“Sure, no problem. I’ll just go dressed like this to school on Monday. I mean I don’t mind others seeing me like this, it’s just like a mini dress right?” I ask casually, swinging my hips left and right as if I were checking out my outfit in a mirror.
His sly smile is replaced by a low growl, and he pulls me back to him and looks around searching for anyone that could see me right now. A giggle leaves my lips, and I slide my arms around him, giving him comfort. It seems that I’m starting to understand him a little more now his mum explained things a little better. Could be fun.
“Logan, I’m kidding. Quiet down. But could I go home and get some clothes please? I really would like to get dressed.” I actually could stay here for a while longer but I also want to feel a little more in control of things, and clothes would certainly help with that.
“Yes, on one condition, I’m coming with you. You’re not leaving my side for
