and they’re also my friends.” Logan stammered, feeling embarrassed and confused.
“You’re right, they are good. But, Logan, you are great. I only deal in great. And call me Garrett.” He patted his shoulder, trying to ease the blow, knowing that this was never a fun part of his job in the music business.
“I am going to have to think about this, sir, I mean Garrett.” Logan shifted his weight from one foot to the other and pocketed the business card.
“Well, the offer expires in two weeks. You are either there or you are not. I won’t be coming back again. Make the right choice for you, Logan.” Garrett finished with a nod and then turned and walked away, leaving the bar.
Logan continued to stand there even after Garrett had left the bar, unsure of what to do or what to say to his friends. Gina waltzed up to him at that moment and slipped her hands around his waist, standing in front of him.
“My dad just offered you a chance at fame, but you look miserable.” She stated, staring at his face in confusion. He looked down at her, finally realizing that she was there.
“It’s nothing, I just have a lot of decisions to make.” He said, his voice trailing off as he was lost in thought. Gina stood up on the tips of her toes and brushed her lips against his jaw, running up toward his ear.
“How about we get out of here and you let me make the decisions tonight?” She purred softly for only him to hear. The instant flame that cut through his body brought him back to attention and he looked down into her dark, green eyes that were thick with desire. He just smiled back at her and let her take his hand, heading out of the bar. He wasn’t ready to talk to his friends, and he couldn’t even say goodbye without them knowing something was off. Gina had just given him the out he needed. At least for tonight.

Gina’s back slammed against the door as Logan’s mouth crushed down on hers, feeding on her desire and excitement. She was unsuccessfully fumbling with her keys in the locked door to her apartment, so Logan just grabbed them from her and slid it in himself. She wrapped both her arms around his neck and with a slight bounce, her legs were around his waist as he held her with one arm around her supporting her bottom.
The door fell open behind them and Logan just tossed the keys randomly into the apartment, hearing them hit the floor somewhere. He wrapped both his arms tightly around her, pressing her as close to him as possible. He relished the feeling of her legs wrapped around him, leaving his member prodding at the edge of her skirt. With one fierce kick, the door slammed shut behind them with a resounding thud.
“Bedroom?” He asked, between kisses, trying to catch his breath. She pointed toward a hallway to their right and he immediately charged in that direction, entering her bedroom only a few seconds later.
Her bed was in the center of the room and was at least a queen size, if not bigger, covered in a plush brown comforter. Logan grabbed her waist with both hands and pried her off of him, causing her to whine at the sudden loss of contact. As if she was light as a feather, Logan’s strong arms tossed her onto the bed and she fell on her back, giggling at the display of strength. All the heavy lifting at work was certainly paying off.
He didn’t leave her alone on the bed for long, quickly undoing his belt and stepping out of his pants, he pulled his shirt over his head and climbed over her now completely nude. Her eyes were wide as she took in the sight of his muscular, toned body. He quickly captivated her mouth again with his and hooked his thumb into the waist band of her skirt, ripping it off with one pull and throwing it off the bed. He sat up slightly to grab her shirt and slip it over her head, leaving her in only her matching black lace bra and panties.
