Chapter 123: A DATE WITH LOGAN 3

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: A DATE WITH LOGAN 3

Logan smiled as he listened to the exclamation from Briar.

He was glad and relieved that she liked the designs, though they hadn’t been changed in a long time.

He wondered how she would react once she saw what he had in store for her.

And that answer came pretty quickly when an exaggerated ’Wow!’ rang in his ears.

At that moment, Briar was standing in a daze as she looked at the dining room, which was decorated with scented candles. With a glance, she could tell that the setting was truly quite romantic.

There wasn’t any food at the table, but who cares about food at the moment? The thought of having a dinner date with Logan made her blood pump.

After exclaiming excitedly, she looked at Logan shyly and he smiled at her.

"Let go and freshen up. We need to pad our bellies," he said to her in a soft tone.

Briar nodded agreeingly to that and followed like a tail.

Logan brought her to the master bedroom, which had a familiar taste which nearly made her fume up as she was reminded of Selena again. Nonetheless, she contained herself as she looked around with eyes full of reverence and admiration.

"I will leave the bedroom to you," Logan said to her as he passed her bag to her before leaving with his.

She didn’t get to respond to him before he was gone.

With him gone, she let out the sigh she had been holding and walked towards the bathroom for some freshening up.

This was new territory, so she didn’t dare slip up lest she end up getting recorded. Who knows if Selena left some cameras lying around?

Briar took a shower and scrubbed her body clean. After playing the whole day, it felt good to freshen up.

Once she was done; she took out the clothes in her bag and arranged what she wasn’t wearing in the empty closet before putting on her choice of clothes she had prepared for the night.

She spent a great deal of time dolling up and once she felt satisfied; she left the bedroom and headed to the dining room to join her husband.

When she got there, Logan was standing by the window watching the city and the view, even from where she was, looked stunning.

As if he sensed that she had come, he turned around and her mouth went wide open, admiration in her eyes as she looked at him, who looked very handsome in a suit.

Logan was wearing black from head to toe. She had seen him wearing like that before, but it was different now. He was wearing this for her, and she just wanted to rip the clothes off his body and claim him as hers.

However, a woman should be demure and a bit held back, so she could only look at him shyly, doing her best to hide her thoughts, which she failed miserably.

Logan looked at his young wife with doting eyes as he thought to himself that this date was truly a blessing.

Otherwise, when was he going to see her dressed like that?

Briar had dressed occasionally. Even during his previous birthdays, because she couldn’t mingle with the guests, he didn’t think that she dressed up. The first time he saw her dressed up was on the day they got married. The second was during the banquet and now was the third.

Although she was dressed up, it was different from the usual. He didn’t know who was daring to encourage her to pick such a dress, but he was grateful for it at that moment.

Briar was blessed with a good curvaceous before. The only disadvantage she used to have was her appearance, which thankfully could be upgraded through makeup.

He wasn’t like that because he disliked her appearance. There wasn’t anything bad about it, but people tend to compare. He was also aware of her insecurities and, as a man, he couldn’t say anything regarding that. His mother, sisters and Selena taught her as much.

However, he looked at her wearing that red dress which fit her body as if she was born with it. He couldn’t help but swallow hard.

He didn’t know what she had been drinking or applying, but her skin was becoming much better and her looks were quite appealing.

He didn’t know if she was wearing makeup or something of that sort, but whatever it was, he was digging it.

As she walked towards him with the heels tapping the floor, making his heart thump with each tap, he found himself walking towards her, getting drawn into her charm.

Before he could make heads from tails, she was in his arms and her lovely scent was filling his scent.

"You look handsome tonight, hubby!" her sweet words reached his ears and struck a chord in his heart. He lifted her chin with his finger and looked at her longingly, desire bursting from him.

He wanted her right there. He wanted to hear that melodious voice of hers screaming his name repeatedly as she squirmed beneath him.

And as he glanced at that choker on embracing her neck, so many dark thoughts filled him. However, he held himself back. Without fulfilling that ritual, he couldn’t touch her yet.

He took a deep breath as he closed and opened his eyes. And he saw eh blinking her eyes at him cutely, her eyes lost in wonder, perhaps.

How come she still couldn’t mask her feelings? No wonder why Selena caught her back then.

He suddenly smiled at her as he wrapped his arm around her waist and said to her as he brought her to the table despite her disgruntling, "You look stunning as well dear!" hiding more words in his heart.

He didn’t want to tarnish her or taint her pure thoughts as of yet.

Briar huffed at him. For a moment there, she thought that she would get a kiss or something, but he held himself back again. However, as she felt his hand trembling against her skin, she was so happy but didn’t dare expose that.

At least now, she was certain that Logan had planned something and maybe, just like what her friends said before; he wanted to fulfil that ritual before taking her.

If that was the case, did that mean that her ankle would be chained by his name?

Suddenly, all her puffiness vanished as she looked at Logan, who was pulling a chair for him.

"Thank you, hubby!"

Logan smiled at her, though inwardly he was a bit confused about what happened in such a short time. How come she was happy suddenly and no longer sulking?

Nonetheless, he was happy that he didn’t need to coax her anymore. That would have taken a lot of time and made things difficult for her.

"You are welcome," he responded to her as he helped her sit before going to the other side of the table and taking his seat as well.

Briar looked at the table that was empty when she arrived and yet now, there were candles lit and piping hot food served on the table.

Could it be that the food was already here or people came in?

Suddenly, she regretted having the soundproof walls. They were very disadvantageous at times like these. She didn’t even know what happened when she was busy dolling herself.

It was a pity, but she was glad that she didn’t sense a thing. Where would the mystery go?

Logan sat across from her and looked at her, his gaze piercing. It made her feel very hot.

Seeing her getting shy suddenly, a smile blossomed on his face before he said to her, "Dear, let’s eat. It’s our night, so feel at ease!" and started to serve her the dishes he had meticulously had others prepare.

He had tried his best to recall the dishes she liked and had the catering team prepare them.

When Briar saw the food, she smiled cheerfully at him.

Chicken parmigiana, Tuscan flank steak and salmon pasta.

Looking at these three dishes, the chefs at home love cooking. How could she not smile?

How could she even tell him that these three dishes were the kids’ favorites and not hers?

In fact, did she even have a favorite food to talk about?

She didn’t think so.

Her mind had always been full of Logan, his family, and the kids. She loved seeing them happy, and by doing so, she ended up eating what they loved. It got to her, she guessed, that even Logan thought and felt that these dishes were her favorites.

However, she didn’t feel sullen. She and the kids were one. At least on this night, she could enjoy this night and think about them as well.

After all, they contributed somehow to this moment.

So, she looked at him with a smile, her eyes squinting, and said cheerfully, "Sure. Thank you for preparing my favorites. I really appreciate it!" and not forgetting to flare the man’s ego.

Surely upon hearing that, Logan smiled dotingly at her, his mind feeling at ease at getting her tastes just right.

It would be embarrassing if he picked the dishes she didn’t like.

Unfortunately, he got it wrong, but she was so head in love to point it out.

His face had been saved.
