Dangerous.

Everything about her was dangerous.

He knew that. The thought had been running through his head ever since they met the second time again.

He liked danger, hell, he lived for it. The fun it carried along, the adventures, and sometimes the lessons.

Emily Gaines was beginning to look far too dangerous for him. She was getting married in a few days, to an extremely rich man. She came from a long lineage of stinky proud rich people, he liked to have nothing to do with people like them. Nothing.

Whenever she wasn't around him, Logan would let thoughts like these get to him, but whenever he saw her face, no matter how cold it looked that minute, everything seemed to resolve itself. All he could think about suddenly, was worshipping her body with his eyes, mouth.. and well, his cock.

A woman like Emily Gaines could sell your soul to the devil, she could even make the devil sell his soul to her. That's how unique she was. Never in his life, had he met someone like her.

He knew that what they had, was going to come to an end soon. She was going to leave and get married to her prince charming, live in their high and mighty castle, and have tiny little princes and princesses. And him, he'd return to his own little cottage, deep in the forest, and live alone for the rest of his life.. maybe bring in some girls to fuck occasionally.

Okay! Who was he kidding around with. He was thinking like a child now.

Business was bad today. Since he arrived at the workshop hours ago, he had gotten no customer. Maybe that was the reason he allowed stupid thoughts like that sneak into his head.

His workshop wasn't really that big, and neither was it small. He had rented a comfortable garage inside town. It was his and Greg's money that started it off, paid for most of the tools and equipment that now filled the room. The normal basic tools like the spanners, pliers, ratchet and sockets, screwdrivers, and hammer, were there, along with other advanced tools.

A mini van, an old black bmw, and a few out of date cars were parked inside the garage too. The owners of the vehicles were either taking too long to come collect their properties, or they had completely forgotten about it, but whenever Logan called them, to remind them of the money they owed, and the cars they left behind, they always gave excuses, or pretended to not know who they were talking to.

It always pissed Logan off, especially since he was beginning to run low on money. Most times, he contemplated selling them, and maybe someday, when he was in dire need of the money, he would.

Dressed in his blue coveralls and a boot, he sat in silence and boredom. He could hear the zooming of cars on the main road, which was not too far from his garage. His stomach gave a loud annoying grumble, and his hands immediately moved to clasp on it.

Fuck it! She had made breakfast for him, but he was too interested in eating her out, than actual food. After he had gone back into the shower, he had returned a few minutes later to see Emily staring deeply at her phone. He asked her if she was okay, but she was paying no attention to him. Even after he had dressed up and told her he was leaving, she didn't even so much as look up to face him. He wondered what was going on in her head? Who had called her?

He glanced at the black leather watch on his wrist, and sighed when he saw the time.

4:47p.m

He had to find something to eat soon, and also find out what Emily was up to. Being alone in his apartment, how bored must she have been? Was leaving her alone a good idea? What if she needed something?

The next groan that emitted out of Logan wasn't from his stomach this time around, but his mouth.

Why did his world seem to resolve around this lady lately?!

What kind of relationship were they involved in? His mind, his thoughts, his body, little by little, she was invading them all. And he didn't like it.

Maybe all he really needed was a break from this all. He hadn't been to the club in weeks! That was probably what he needed now. To hit the club, meet different girls.. girls that didn't look like, or bear the name 'Emily Gaines.'

Definitely what he needed! Tonight he would put on his party shoes, and party hard. There was nothing between him and Emily, so she would understand. It wasn't cheating. But why was a deep part of him telling him it wasn't right? why?

A car driving in, broke his train of thoughts. Finally, a customer.

~~°°~~

"Who is Logan?"

A question Emily found herself asking no one in particular. Christian's question had actually made her think hard on it.

No. Not for Christian's sake. Fuck him. But for hers'. Who really was Logan? Her fuck buddy? friend? lover?

Could they be described as lovers?

What was the perfect definition of the word 'lovers'?

They started out as fuck buddies, but recently, Emily didn't feel that way. God help her, she felt like they were more.

Not in the sense of being romantically involved, she wasn't falling for him, but she absolutely did not dislike him too.

She liked him. In a friendly way.. In a 'fucking' kinda way. In a sex way.

Yes, that was it. He made her laugh, he understood her dry humor, he gave her countless orgasms. Who wouldn't like a guy like that? Even Drew would want a taste of him.

How did Christian find out about him though? Could her father possibly have--? No. No. No.

He was the last person on earth that would want Christian to find out and break the wedding.

No one else knew about Logan. Not even her best friend.

Was this a sign that she needed to end whatever was going on with her and Logan? Her father made threats, yes, but he also executed them as he promised he would. Staying with Logan was a risk. She didn't want to put the poor man in danger. Her father knowing about him was a problem, but Christian finding out about him? That was was double problem.

She knew all these, and yet, she still couldn't bring herself to end things with him. It was extremely selfish of her, but she couldn't help herself. Logan, was the only person apart from Drew that made her life more fun and interesting. He brought out all her wild sides, it was exhilarating, amazing. She felt alive. But how long could they keep it all? Everything? The lies? The secrets? The sins?

Her phone vibrated, and not much to her surprise, it was Christian again. She sat upright in the bed where she had been in a sleeping position before, and clicked on the answer button. A tired and throaty Christian's voice sounded from the other line.

"Don't make me find you."

He sounded cold, and dangerous. Like a fire waiting to spread out into the world, and bring its hot tongue on everything within it's way.

"You're killing my battery." she replied in equation with the sound of his voice. That seemed to do nothing to intimidate him though, because his voice remained the same.

"Where are you?" he asked, calmly, like a storm brewing.

"No where that concerns you."

She heard him take in three sharp harsh breaths, then silence. Next thing she heard was the sound of something crashing into a wall or ground, she trembled softly from the shock of it.

"Where the fuck are you Emily Gaines!"

Christian had never used a tone on her like that. No matter the way she had treated him. He always sounded loving and caring.

"DO NOT!" Emily replied harshly, but then, lowered her voice, "---ever raise your voice on me like that again. Understand?"

Sobs filled the line, followed with series of incoherent mumblings from Christian, apologizing and telling her how sorry he was, claiming that he wasn't in his right mind.

"Let's meet. please.." he whispered after his sobs ended.

"Em-- please let's meet. Let's start over again. Let this marriage be a new start for us.. Let me love you. Give me another chance. I promise I'll be perfect for you."

When you don't know what you want, it's always so hard to make a decision. Christian was a good man. She had always thought of him that way. The incident of her finding out about his secret was what had changed her perspective a bit, but still, he was a good man. Whatever she had with Logan, she was going to end it today. It was never meant to last. She had a life outside of here. A business to manage, a best friend to be with, and a wedding to plan.

Logan had to understand... no. He would understand. They were nothing to each other. Just fuck buddies.
