Free Anything He Desires by Katie Morgan

ice water on them both. Kristen pushed out of Logan’s arms. She started collecting her clothing and was out the door and in the limousine before Logan could stop her.
    He wanted to wring Mimi’s neck. He had made it clear in the past that she was only to let herself in when she was invited and she knew he didn’t want her here tonight.
    “Give me your key and get the fuck out,” he snarled at her.
                  She got up and shimmied over to him. “Is there anything I can do for you before I go?” she asked running her fingers down his chest.
    “There is nothing you can do for me now or ever. Leave your key and go. You will also not be receiving your stipend because I don’t need your services anymore. I’ll give you compensation for your time and dedication but never do this again. Stay away from me and Kristen or you’ll be very sorry.”
                  She wiggled into her clothing, probably trying to tease him. He only rolled his eyes. The action was lost on him. He was only thinking about Kristen and how this must look to her. He could only imagine how she felt seeing a naked woman in his bed. If the roles were reversed, he would be beyond furious.
    As soon as Mimi left, he tried to call Kristen but she didn’t answer. She did send him a text message.
    “Going to sleep. We will talk tomorrow. I can’t deal with it tonight.”
    He just sent her two words back because he didn’t know what else to say to make it better.
    “I’m sorry.”
                  Logan didn’t sleep for most of the night. The thought of living without Kristen was unbearable to him. He had just known her for a short time and she had become so important to him. The feeling was both exquisite and frightening at the same time.
    He didn’t know what to do to fix things but he would try. He really had no choice.

                  Kristen got to work before Logan. She knew she looked like hell. She hadn’t slept much but she had come to a conclusion. She was going to listen to what he had to say. He had obviously not planned for Mimi to be there. The woman was part of his past and even though she may not have him forever, he was hers for now and she would be damned if she would share him.

                  When Logan arrived, he expected to get the cold shoulder from Kristen. He was pleasantly surprised when she gave him a little smile.
    “Can I talk to you?”
    Her smile brightened. She did love it when he asked for things. “Sure.” He came into her office and closed the door.
    “I didn’t tell her to be there. I really never wanted to see her again. The moment I met you I didn’t even consider her anymore. She was paid for and the only thing she will miss is the stipend I gave her to be loyal. I never cared for her. But you I care for more than I ever dreamed possible. She won’t be around any longer. I’m asking for you to forgive me for the disastrous end to our dinner last night.
    “I believe you, Logan. And I forgive you even though I think there’s really nothing to forgive. She is your past and I want her to stay there. I don’t know how long you will want me but while we’re exclusive I won’t share. Can you deal with that?”
    “Yes. I think I can do that.” He was already smiling in relief. He went to her and took her in his arms.
    After a moment, she pulled away because he was overwhelming her.  They could talk more tonight.
    “I have to work but maybe we could try again tonight.”
    “I can’t think of anything I’d like more.” He kissed her before leaving her to work.

    Shanna was at her desk and she raised her eyebrows at Logan. He flashed a little grin and she smiled back.
    “I feel like I’m working in a soap opera. I can’t wait to get to work every day to see what will happen next.” She laughed and Logan joined her though it was a little sobering. His life had felt like a soap opera even before he had dragged Kristen into
