Chapter 42: Eternal Romance Part 2

Logan swallowed hard and gave in, lifting her and carrying her down the hallway to his bedroom. He shut the door behind them and locked it before laying her on his vast bed.

He crawled over her body and looked into her warm eyes, reminding him once again that no matter how bad it got, she was his home. His chest felt tight, and he pushed back his emotions, trying to ignore the ache that settled where his heart used to beat.

Gwen peered up at him, watching him clench his eyes shut and look away from her for a moment as if he was fighting himself. “It’s okay,” she touched his cheek and whispered, turning his attention back to her. “I want this, I promise.”

Logan opened his eyes and peered down at her, “Are you sure?”

Gwen nodded her head and ran her hands along his sides to grip the hem of his shirt, pulling it up and over his head. She tilted her head up to brush her soft lips against his in a tender kiss. She broke it to whisper, “I promise.”
