In Between The Alphas
Chapter 73

There was a warmth cocooning me when I stirred from my sleep and I couldn't help but nuzzle closer to it when I heard a hoarse groan.

I breathed in Logan's woodsy scent while his hand ran across the length of my arm before settling on my hip.

I forced my eyes open and the moment I did it hit me like a ton of bricks. I took in his features and tried to tell myself I was wrong.

His eyes were closed in a blissful sleep and I was half lying on his chest so one of his hands rested against my back while the other lay on my hip. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm indicating that he was still asleep and his hair stood up in a crazed manner from where I had tugged on it.

Mate,

That bond between us surged to life and I squirmed in disbelief. He already has a mate; he told me so and I know he wouldn't lie about that and as far as I know, you can't have two mates. So what is going on?

"I can hear your heart racing," Logan's sleep ridden voice cut in and I peered up at him, "You are going to give yourself a heart attack,"

"I am not," I answered and he peeled his eyes open to stare at me and I gave him a small smile.

"Then go back to sleep," he whispered as he pulled me impossibly closer and my very n*ked thigh brushed across his very hard member which made him inhale sharply, "Sleep Charlotte,"

He didn't give me the chance to respond, he moved his hand that was resting on my hip to trace small circles on my thigh and the other hand that I was lying on ran through my curls in a comforting manner. "That feels really good," I managed out with a small yawn.

"I know baby," I felt the ghost of a kiss on my forehead.

When I woke up he was out of bed and I sat up slowly because of the slight ache between my thighs.

I was about to slide out of bed when the bedroom door creaked open and Logan walked in. He was wearing only briefs and I couldn't stop my mouth from watering at the sight of his bare chest. "Take a picture; it'll last longer," he teased as he walked over to me, "Good morning,"

"Good morning," I managed to get out as he placed a soft k!ss on my lips, "When did you get up?"

"Half an hour ago; give or take a few minutes," he made his way to the bathroom and I heard him turn the tap on, "What about you?"

"I just woke up,"

He came back into the room and held out his hand to me which I gladly took and he picked me up bridal style and lowered me into the tub of hot water and I winced at the contact.

I smiled when I noticed the bubbles swimming around in the tub.

"When did you get bubble bath?"

"About a week back," he shrugged, "You told me you liked them so I got it; I just never got around to giving it to you."

Tears pooled in my eyes at his words.

"You got it because of me?" I couldn't help but ask and he let out a sigh.

"I would do anything for you," he said softly, "I need you to remember that."

"Okay," I sniffled but then I paused when I saw him pick up the body wash, "What are you doing?"

"I'm giving you a bath,"

"I can do it myself," I reached for the sponge but he held it out of my reach.

"It's called after care," he added softly, "Just let me take care of you."

I let out a small sigh and a nod and allowed him wash my entire body. He took his time not only washing but also massaging my skin and his hands lingered on my bre-asts and the inside of my thighs and I was a quivering mess by the time he was done. He wasn't unaffected either; I could see the way his eyes had darkened considerably but he never strayed from his task.

When he was done lathering me up, he unplugged the bath then lifted me in his arms and took me over to the shower.

"You're going to get your whole body wet," I complained

"I'll just take a shower after."

"Why don't you shower with me," surprise crossed his features at my words, "I mean we're just saving time and water; it's good for the environment."

I had barely finished my sentence when he slammed his lips to mine in a fierce k!ss. By the time he pulled away I was dizzy and out of breath.

"I'll take that as a yes then," I joked and he shook his head at me before deftly pulling off his briefs and I had to stop myself from staring at him down there.

He moved to grab his wash cloth but I stopped him, "Can I?"

He looked taken aback but nodded anyways and I grabbed it along with his body wash and made quick work of washing his torso.

With every move of my hand I felt his muscles tense up beneath me and he took in a sharp breath when I fell to my knees to wash his thighs.

"What are you doing?" he growled out,

"I'm washing you," I answered coyly, "Get your mind out of the gutter."

I washed his legs but decided to forgo the wash cloth in favor of my hand on his member and he pulled me to my feet and into another hard k!ss. Updated by FindNovel.net; visit us for more free novels.

We spent about an hour in the shower and it is safe to say that very little of that time was spent actually showering.

He dried me off and pulled one of his plain tees over my head and I couldn't help but take a discreet sniff of it.

"You look hot in my clothes," he noted and I couldn't help the flush of red that creeped up my cheeks, "You can pick a movie; I'll be right back,"

"Okay," I trailed off confused but I did as he asked.

I had just settled on a fantasy series when Logan walked back in with a tray in his hands and my stomach grumbled as if reminding me it hadn't been fed.

"I could've helped," I started but he cut me off with a look.

"I am going to take care of you today," he said, "And you are going to let me."

"But-,"

"No buts," he cut me off, "Just take one day off worrying about everyone and let someone else worry about you."

"What time is it?" I asked and he shrugged.

"A few minutes after ten,"

"We slept in," I noted and he nodded and sat next to me and I noticed the contents of the tray, "You really don't have to though," I began but he shot me a hard look. "If you say that one more time I will take you over my knee,"

I opened my mouth to protest but when I saw the look in his eye I shut it immediately and nodded.

"Good," he placed the tray in his lap, "Eat."
