He had to hope that getting close to Georgia would change Logan’s mind.
Georgia stood there for a moment, her whole body tense, and Seth was almost certain he’d lost. Then her hands went to the fastener of her jeans. The fly was a big rhinestone to match all the bling she had on her ass.
She stopped and Seth’s heart almost did, too. He waited for the words that would kill his plans, but she merely frowned and knelt down and unzipped her boots. She set them aside and stood back up, her hands shaking a little as she undid the button of her jeans.
Logan sat back down, and Seth felt his heart in his throat.
His life, the one he’d waited for all these years, was just beginning.
She was taking off her pants. She was taking off her pants so Logan could spank her butt.
If her friends could see her now.
Except she didn’t really have friends. She had actresses in LA she’d competed with and mean girls who she’d tried to fit in with. Natalie and Kitten were the first friends she’d made since tenth grade when Lisa Jacobs had moved away because her dad got a job in Florida.
What was she really doing? God, she wanted to get naked and lie down over Logan’s lap and find out why her sister-in-law smiled so much. And she was terrified to do it. She had totally lost her cool and freaked Seth out and then found out he was kind of a supervillain and that was so hot, but neither one of them had seen her naked. She wasn’t wearing pretty lacy panties. She was wearing heavy spandex to make her look thinner than she was because she just couldn’t seem to lose that extra twenty pounds everyone seemed to think she needed to. Her undergarments claimed to take ten pounds off, so once she’d put on three sets just to see if the effect was cumulative, but that experiment had ended with her passing out at an audition and Win thinking she had an eating disorder. And she hadn’t looked that much thinner.
Could he spank her in Spanx? He probably couldn’t do the pussy eating thing while she was in Spanx. Although it did have a convenient hole in the crotch. Maybe he could put his tongue through there and then he wouldn’t have to see her belly.
“Georgia?” Logan had moved in front of her, those green eyes staring down at her. Without her shoes, she barely made it to the middle of his chest. He was so big and broad and Seth was standing beside him. She felt safe with Seth. Even the fact that he was a manipulative freak made her feel safe. All five of her brothers hadn’t managed to convince him to leave her. That meant something.
But what if they took one look at her body and ran? Or worse, continued on because they were being polite.
She couldn’t do it. If they didn’t like her, she wouldn’t be able to live with it. It was better to maybe find a way to be friends with them. Sex wasn’t worth it. She buttoned her pants back up before they saw the tan panel the spandex formed. Yeah, that was sexy, Georgia. “I think I’ll, uhm, go and see about cooking something else. Seth has plenty of food. I can come up with something. I’m actually a really good cook.”
Before she could move, Logan had caught her, his right hand cupping her chin and forcing her to look up. “What are you afraid of? Is it me?”
He terrified her, but not because of the spanking thing. She shook her head. “I just don’t think the sex would be worth our friendship.”
The sexiest smile ticked his lips up. “We aren’t friends, Georgia. We never have been. We’ve fought and kissed and you’ve made me utterly insane, but I can’t be your friend.”
That thought made her heart ache a little. “And you don’t want to be my boyfriend.”
A cloud passed over those green eyes. “That’s Seth’s job. I want to be your lover. I don’t want to cause you heartache, girl. I don’t, but I’m also starting to think I don’t want to go through the rest of my life without knowing what it feels like to be inside you. I don’t think we would work long term. I think we’re too different, but this heat between us is like nothing I’ve felt before. I want you.”
She felt the heat, too. She’d felt it the minute she’d laid eyes on him. But he was a Greek god and she was just a girl.
“You might not want me if you saw me, really saw me. I wear a lot of makeup and I spend a lot of time on my hair, and I dress so I look way thinner than I am. My breasts are in a minimizer bra. Do you know what that means? It means they’re bigger than they look and they sag already.” She sniffled a little, her usual brat-girl persona failing her for once. “And I’m not good at sex. I know I look like some fifties pinup girl when I’m made up, but trust me, I’m not the sexy siren type. I can’t even get masturbation right, so I think I should spare us all the disappointment.”
“Show me.” Seth’s jaw was set, his eyes slightly narrowed. “Take off your shirt and that bra and show us your breasts. Be brave, Georgia. You want this. You don’t want some stinking half life where we’re ‘friends.’ Whoever told you you weren’t sexy was wrong. And I’ve always thought you were too thin. Why do you think I order dessert and beg you to share it with me? I have zero interest in a skinny Georgia.”
“Show us.” Logan’s eyes dropped to the place where her neckline touched skin, his fingers drifting from her chin to her neck. “He’s right. Be brave. Say what you want. If you get rejected, then at least you tried.”
But she’d learned not to try so long ago. Taking that first step seemed like willfully dropping over a cliff, and yet what were her other choices? Did she really think she could be “friends” with Seth? Logan would be gone, back in Dallas and just a memory, but was she really willing to leave Seth and go live like some nun at Win’s mansion? Her brother would take care of her, but she would just be a burden to him. Or she could stay here and fight and try to make a place for herself.
She slowly pulled at the bottom of her blouse, wincing all the way. The tight spandex she was wearing under it covered her stomach all the way up to just under her breasts.
“That’s good, Georgia.” Logan stared down at her. He reached out and touched the fabric that still covered her torso. “You don’t need this.”
At least he didn’t look horrified. “It just smooths me out.”
Seth was suddenly behind her, his fingers at the back of her bra. “You don’t need to be smooth, baby. Come on, let’s get this off and give the Dom his due so we can get to the good part.”
The back of her bra came apart with a twist of Seth’s hand, and she had to catch the front before it slid off. “I think y’all should know that I’ve never gotten to the good part before. I might not be able to, but I want to try.”
“Georgia, what are you saying?” Seth’s hands were sliding around her torso, slipping up toward her breasts. She could feel the heat of his breath on her neck, making her shiver.
“She’s saying she’s never come before. You’re not a virgin, are you?” Logan asked, his fingers smoothing her hair back.
God, they were surrounding her, and she was finding it hard to get a full breath. Her girl parts were starting to sing. Every inch of skin they were touching felt like it lit up, and she was getting an achy, restless feeling between her legs. “No. I’ve slept with men before.”
“Not if you haven’t come, you haven’t. You’ve slept with selfish little boys,” Seth said against her ear. His fingertips eased under the wire of her bra and her nipples perked right up.
“Seth is right.” Logan forced her to look him in the eyes. “I won’t stop until you’re screaming. Do you understand? Half of my pleasure will come from feeling that pussy clench down and damn near strangle my dick because the orgasm I give you is going to make your toes curl. And then Seth is a competitive son of a bitch and he’ll try to best me.”
