Free The Billionaire's Kiss (Scandal, Inc) by Avery James Page A

a deal?"
    Callie exhaled a long, slow breath. Maybe this would be a good chance to see Logan in action without having to worry about him leaving with someone. After all, there weren’t many women in the bar, and Callie wanted to know a few of the warning signs if Logan ended up really hitting on someone in the future. She had painted herself into a corner, and agreeing seemed like the only way out. How much trouble could Logan really get into with her there watching? “Sure.”  
    "Good. You're going to lose this one." As Logan spoke, Callie watched trouble walk into the room, 5' 8" of trouble with dark brown hair, full lips and even fuller breasts. She wore a tight black dress that accentuated her curves. Half of the men in the bar were already drooling over her, and the other half simply hadn't seen her yet. It was like the whole center of gravity in the room had shifted to her. The woman took one look towards Logan and started heading over toward him. Callie's heart skipped a beat as she wondered what to do. The first step was to play it cool.
    "Maybe this isn't such a good idea," she said.
    "Nonsense," Logan replied. "You're only bailing on it because a hot woman just walked in. This bet is on."  
    Callie looked around the room some more and wondered what to do. She couldn't leave Logan alone with the brunette, and she couldn't back down on their little wager either. She just needed some time to figure out a plan.
    "Well, I'm going to run to the bathroom before I find some unsuspecting man to wrap around my little finger."
    "Take all the time you need. Your seat might be occupied when you get back though."
    Callie grabbed her purse and headed off to the bathroom. She grabbed her phone and placed a call as she made her way across the restaurant. She needed advice, and she needed it quickly.  
    "Amy, it's me, I need to talk," she said. She pushed her way into the bathroom and leaned over the sink.
    "What's up?" Amy asked. Callie could hear Ethan and Vi in the background talking loudly.  
    "Is this a bad time?"  
    "We're en route to a fundraiser, you have about two minutes."  
    "Logan is hitting on a brunette at the bar."  
    "Well, is that supposed to be news?"  
    "I think he's going to try to bring her home."  
    "So stop him. You're resourceful. Figure out some way to distract him."  
    Callie took a long, slow breath, counting as she inhaled and exhaled. "I've got it," she said. "I can handle this."  
    "Has he driven you crazy yet?"
    "I've wanted to strangle him since I've gotten here. He just has a way of being so irritating."
    Amy laughed. "As long as you're not falling for him, we're in good shape," she said.  
    "Any news on the legislation?"
    "Still on schedule. We'll have you home in two weeks. Try to enjoy your time out of DC. Remember to stay low key. The less he notices you, the better."
    "I'll try, but the way things are going, I feel like I'm going to need a vacation from my vacation."  
    "We'll see."  
    "Send Ethan and Vi my love," Callie said. She hung up the phone and looked at herself in the mirror. "You're just doing your job," she said. "There's nothing more to this." Then she slid her phone back into her purse and straightened her hair. It was time to end her contest with Logan and end his flirtation with the brunette. Callie couldn't believe what she was about to do.
    She caught Logan's eye across the room as she walked over to him. He gave her a knowing smile, and he seemed quite pleased with himself. Things must have been going well with the brunette. He probably thought he was winning. He must have bought her a drink and laid on his charm. The poor guy had no idea what he had coming. Callie couldn't help but notice how he kept his eyes on her and not the brunette as she got closer.
    Ignoring the other woman, Callie leaned into Logan and whispered, "I win."
    Logan raised an eyebrow. "Who?" he asked as he looked around the room. "You haven't even talked to anyone else."
      "I didn't have
