In Between The Alphas
Chapter 56

My first thought was that the water was freezing cold. I pushed to the surface and came up with a gasp.l turned to Logan and saw him looking at me with an impressed look on his face. "Why didn't you tell me the water was cold?" I asked and he just shrugged, he had the nerve to shrug.

"I didn't need to give you any more reasons not to jump."

"But it's cold," I whined wrapping my arms around my body and he rolled his eyes and carefully pulled my hands from my body.

"Just relax and enjoy nature." He said as he pulled me deeper into the water. "Lie on your back and float."

I ignored what his bossy tone did to me and did as he asked. He had his hands on my back and behind my knee and even when I was floating he didn't let go.

"How do you feel?" he asked and I hummed in response, "I'll take that as a positive remark,"

His hands let go of me much to my disappointment and then I didn't hear him for a few seconds so I peeled my eyes open.

"Logan?"I called out but I didn't get a reply, "This isn't funny you know."

He still didn't reply so I rolled my eyes and decided to swim out to look for him when I felt something grab my leg.

I let out a scream but was pulled under and came face to face with Logan who looked like he was fighting a smile.

He pulled us to the surface and burst out laughing while I sent him looks that could kill.

"I'm sorry but your expression was priceless," he laughed and I splashed him hard.

His smile fell and I immediately thought I had messed up.

"I am so," I began but he cut me off by splashing me even harder and I had to blink repeatedly to get the water out of my eyes. "Are you kidding me?!"

"You started it," was his indignant reply and I scoffed.

"You are such a child," I said and he splashed me again.

"I'll show you a child." He said and then we began to splash each other.

Somehow during our fight I managed to end up completely plastered against Logan. I realized our position around the same time he did and his hands went to hold me in place. My eyes flittered from his eyes to his lips and back to his eyes and he noticed because his eyes darkened and I felt my nipples harden against him.

"Do you want me to stop?' he asked as he stroked tiny circles on my wa!st and I shook my head.

He muttered something suspiciously close to 'thank the goddess' and pulled me in for a deep kiss.

My hands went up to his ch3st and up to his shoulders and I made sure to graze my nails across them making him groan in response and I felt moisture pool at my centre.

His hands moved to cup my a*s and he pulled me up so I could wrap my legs around him and in the process I brushed against his hardness and I moaned into his mouth.

"Fvck Charlotte," he mumbled against my mouth as I raked my hands through the curls at the base of his neck, "You are so fucking perfect."

"Logan I-" I began but he cut me off with an even firmer and more desperate way.

"You look absolutely beautiful," he said in a hoarse voice, "Absolutely perfect. I 1-,"

He trailed off after that and just kissed me again but much softer this time as he stroked my thighs in both a sensual and comforting manner.

He pulled away and just stared into my eyes as if searching for something. He let out a content sigh after a while and flashed me a smile and almost against my will I felt another smile form on my lips. "You are perfect," he said softly, "Have I ever told you that?"

"I'm not perfect Logan," I replied in the same tone,

Nobody is perfect."

"Well if nobody is then you're as close to perfect as it gets." He said and I felt heat creep up my cheeks, "be

His words snapped me back to reality and I looked at him in shock, "What?"

"Be mine" he said in an even softer tone, "I want you to be mine."

Today's events crashed through my head and I shook my head and he set me down slowly. "I can't, I can't do that to you."

"I want this, more than anything" he said softly, "Don't you want it too?"

"I might be pregnant," I blurted out and his eyes widened, "I haven't had my period in a while and I'm late and I took a test with Diana and one of them was positive, I don't know who is pregnant but it might be me. "And it might be Jake's," he finished and I nodded, "I don't care." I looked up at him and he gave me a small smile, "I don't care if you're pregnant and it's Jake's. If you'll have me then I want you to be mine." "You don't?"

"I don't care if the child is mine or not," he said, "It's yours and that's all that matters."

I'll give you an answer,' I started, "But after I find out if I'm pregnant or not."

"Okay," he said softly and he gave me a smile, "Take however long you need."

"Thank you Logan," I said, "For all this."

"No Charlotte; thank you." He leaned down and gave me a short and soft kiss on my lips, "Come on; let's leave before it gets too cold."

He led me out and by the time we got to the car I was absolutely freezing. He leaned into the back and handed me a towel that I quickly used to dry myself off.

"I am so going to regret putting on jeans right now," I muttered aloud and just before I could reach out for my p*nts Logan stepped in front of me with some clothes in his hand.

"I packed up some clothes for you to change into," he said, "I'll turn around while you changed."

He turned around immediately and I couldn't help the way my core pooled as I stripped out of my w3t underwear and stood n*ked behind him.

"You're making it really hard to stay this way Charlotte," he growled, "Really fvcking hard."

I flushed pink and quickly put on the shorts and shirt that he gave to me and muttered a quick done.

He turned around and looked me up and down. His eyes lingered on my legs and my n!pples that were pebbled against his shirt then down into the wet, underwear in my hands.

I expected him to say something but he didn't and I turned around so he could change.

I waited patiently for him to tell me he was done but instead of speaking he placed his hand on my shoulder softly and pushed my wet hair away from my neck and placed a wet open-mouthed kiss there and I felt my knees buckle. "Logan," I began softly but he pulled the skin into his mouth and sucked deeply. "I don't want to ruin your shorts."

"Believe me when I say ruining is not the word I would use." He said as he pulled away, "Come on; let's go home."

I followed him a bit stunned and ignored the sticky feeling between my thighs.
