Chapter 21 — Logan

Logan felt that life had finally given him a break. The following week was probably the best one of his life.

When they’d returned to the ranch, Reed immediately apologized to his parents for causing all that worry. Thankfully, they didn’t make too big a deal about it, instead focusing on getting Reed comfortable once again. As their other men had returned back to work, they even said that neither Reed nor Logan had to do any more work on the ranch. That pleased Reed but he still said he’d help out if they needed him. Logan smiled at him with pride—Reed had come a long way since his arrival here.

On the second day, they were finding it hard to hide their feelings. When they were in the kitchen the first thing in the morning, Logan grabbed Reed’s ass and pulled him up against him. His face was inches from Reed’s and his eyes locked onto Reed’s. “You trying to tempt me with that sexy sway of yours?”

Reed batted his eyelashes playfully and used his free hand to fan himself. “I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.”

Logan was just about to respond when they heard footsteps. Pulling away, they were almost caught by Susan. She zeroed in on how close they were and a knowing smile spread across her face, but she didn’t say anything.

Later, when they were alone, Logan said he wanted to be upfront. Reed’s parents had shown him nothing buy kindness and respect. He was a grown man and he wasn’t about to go sneaking around like a damn teenager.

So that night as they finished their dinner, Reed caught Logan’s eye and he returned his look with a slight nod. Logan blew out a breath, suddenly nervous at what their reaction would be.

“So, Mom, Dad. Logan and I have something to tell you.”

Both Susan and George looked up, giving him their full attention.

“Go on.” George looked at Logan with a curious gaze.

Reed bit his lip, trying to contain his smile. Logan’s heart thumped on the other side of the table, his palms suddenly sweaty. It was big moment for both of them, but more so for Logan as it meant he was openly declaring his sexuality.

Reed looked over at Logan, his eyes shining. “Logan and I have realized we have feelings for each other. We want to be together.”

Logan watched as a grin spread over Susan’s face. Equally, the corners of George’s mouth lifted.

“Well, it’s about damn time.” Susan looked at both of them, shaking her head. “I’m glad that you’ve both come to your senses. I could tell there was some tension between you," she winked at Reed, “but even an idiot could see your growing feelings for each other.” She squeezed George’s hand. “I think you guys make a wonderful couple.”

Logan swallowed and dropped his gaze, feeling overwhelmed and emotional with how easily Susan accepted him into their family. Hesitantly, he raised his head to look at George, expecting to see some concern or opposition. Instead, he was met with nothing but kindness in his expression.

“You’ve proved to us that you can already look after our son. I’m happy for you and wish you both luck."

Logan caught Reed’s eye, which were misty. Taking a sip of his water, he took a second to gather his emotions and swallow back the lump in his throat. “Thank you both and for always making me feel so welcome here.”

Reed reached across the table and squeezed his hand.

“Well,” Susan pushed back her chair, beaming. “Just as well there’s something to celebrate.” She turned to her husband. “I’ve made George’s favorite apple pie and homemade ice cream.”

“You did?” George’s mouth was practically salivating and both Reed and Logan burst out laughing. “Woman, you’re gonna be the death of me.” He stood and practically ran to help her in the kitchen.

Logan turned to Reed. “You’re so lucky to have them. They’re amazing people.” He lowered his voice. “I was getting ready to defend myself in case George started throwing his fist my way.”

He was teasing but at the same time, hugely relieved.

Reed waved his hand. “Trust me, they love you.”

The question is, do you, Reed? Because I’m in love with you. Logan fiddled with his napkin, silencing his inner voice.

For now.

Reed and Logan breezed through the week, enjoying each other’s company and the time on the ranch. Logan felt the most relaxed he’d ever been, working on George’s Harley during the day, while Reed helped his mom. Following a conversation with Kellen, they’d both agreed that under Logan’s protection, Reed could return to the City after the weekend. Logan knew Reed would be happy but a small part of him wished that they could stay here forever. He was just getting to know and enjoy Reed and he knew that once they were back, he would be consumed with his daily life and events.

Would Reed still have time for me?

Logan stared sightlessly at the motorcycle in front of him, confused about his place in Reed’s life.

“Hey sexy. Why are you looking so sad and serious?”

Logan lifted his head to see Reed at the entrance to the barn. He grabbed a rag and wiped the oil off his hands. “Hey, you. Come here.”

Reed closed the gap and moved into the barn, throwing his arms around Logan.

Logan drew his arms tight around him, wrapping them around Reed's waist. He dipped his head and tucked his face into Reed's neck, inhaling deeply. He was coming to love Reed’s sent which now filled his nostrils. "God, you smell so good. I want to eat you."

Reed pulled back his tone, mischievous. "Careful, I might interpret that another way."

Logan grinned. “That too.” He closed his eyes groaning. "God, I miss you, Reed. I swear I have blue balls.” He opened his eyes, locking them with Reed’s. I need to feel you against me but I don't think we can do anything under the same roof as your parents. It wouldn't feel right.”

Reed nodded. "I agree. That would just feel a bit too weird—and they’re actually very light sleepers, even though they’re at the other end of the house…” He smiled. “I don’t think I could stay quiet enough… however,” he ran his hand over Logan’s chest, “how about we have a secret rendezvous here this evening… once they’re in bed?” His gaze darkened with lust.

“Yeah.” Logan’s voice was breathy, his cock springing to life in anticipation.

Reed moved his arm and lowered it further down, until he was cupping Logan’s cock through his jeans. He leaned in to whisper in Logan’s ear. “And in the meantime, let’s see if we can relieve those poor balls of yours…”

Logan’s eyes flared, his cock straining against him. “What are you suggesting?”

Reed removed his hand and quickly looked over his shoulder. “Move. Get towards the back, behind those bales of hay.”

“Reed… what if…”

“Come on,” He tugged Logan’s hand. “I know you know how to live a little dangerously.” He winked at Logan and pulled him along.

Logan was speechless. Driven with lust, he had to stop himself from picking up Reed and throwing him over his shoulder while he sprinted to the darkened corner.

They got to the back and Logan leaned up against the hay. Reed pointed to his jeans. “Off.”

Logan didn’t waste any time. He unbuckled his belt, practically tore open his button and lowered his fly. Pushing his jeans down, the outline of his hard cock was straining against his boxers.

Reed tore his gaze away from the sight and looked at him expectantly. “Pull those down too. I want to suck you off.”

Fuck. Logan took a deep breath. Those were the sexiest words he’d ever heard. He hooked his thumb into the sides and lowered them down, slowly, his cock springing free and bouncing on his abdomen.

Reed licked his lips and moved forward, running his fingers over his slit, where he was already leaking juice.

“Such a waste. Can’t have that.” Reed bent over and licked the drops clean off Logan’s cock.

“Oh, sweet Jesus.” Logan closed his eyes, knowing he wouldn’t be able to last long. “I’m so fired up, Reed, I won’t last long.”

“I don’t mind… I want all of you, Logan.”

Reed’s dirty talk turned him on further and he exhaled slowly as Reed sunk to his knees, fisting his cock in his hands.

Reed took his time, tracing his tongue down Logan’s shaft, licking around Logan’s slit and then finally sucking the head of his cock into Reed’s warm mouth.

Logan reached down and grabbed onto Reed’s hair as he took his cock deeper and deeper into his mouth.

Pulling away, Reed looked up with a smile. “Fuck, Logan. You taste so damn good…” He bent lower and licked his balls, tenderly, before taking Logan’s cock back into his mouth.

Logan couldn’t help it as his hips began to thrust into Reed’s mouth. Reed felt so good and closing his eyes, he groaned as Reed took all of him, matching his thrusts and keeping up.

Logan’s breath got heavier and heavier as Reed played with his balls and used a finger to press down on the skin between Logan’s cock and his ass. The extra pressure from Reed’s finger was incredible and Logan felt his balls tighten up against his body in response. His cock swelled even harder than he thought possible and then, stars exploded before him as he jerked and blew his load into Reed’s mouth.

“Holy shit. How are you so good?” Logan shook his head, smiling as Reed pulled off him, a victorious smile on his face. He held his hand out to help Reed up. “What about you? Let me take care of you, too.”

Reed smiled and shook his head. “As much as I want to, Mom is waiting for me in the kitchen. She’s starting some new cake recipe and I promised I’d help.”

Logan’s jaw fell open, and then he shook his head, laughing. “She’s waiting for you? Reed, you’re nuts.”

Reed shrugged, backing away. “I told her I’d be back soon. I better go.” He stepped forward and planted a light kiss on Logan’s lips. “I can’t wait for tonight.”

“Me neither.” Logan pulled up his jeans as he watched Reed back away. “Oh, wait. I’ve got some good news.”

“What?”

Logan smiled. “We’re going back to the City after the weekend. I was on the phone with Kellen before you showed up.”

Reed’s face lit up with a grin. “Really? You’re not kidding me?”

“No, I wouldn’t mess with you like that. We’ll have to take some extra precautions but Kellen agrees it’s okay to come back.”

“That’s awesome. Yeah!” Reed turned around, about to go but then suddenly stopped, facing Logan, his brows flattening. “But, why did you look so sad?”

Logan shook his head. “It’s nothing.”

Reed closed the gap and took Logan’s hand in his. “It is to me. Tell me,” he said softly.

Logan looked at their joined hands. “I was just feeling a little, vulnerable, you know? You’re gonna go back to your celeb life…” He shrugged. “I know we talked about it a few days ago, but it’s really happening now. Maybe I won’t be enough for you.”

Reed dipped his head until he connected with Logan’s gaze. “Logan, I’m just getting to know you but what we have? Our chemistry together? It’s special. You’re special.” He kissed Logan’s forehead. “Being in the City, a different location, isn’t going to change my feelings for you.”

Logan’s heart swelled with love for this man. A shy smile spread over his face. “Okay.”

“I’ve gotta go or I swear this time, Mom will end up sending out a search party.” Reed rolled his eyes playfully.
