His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 353 Race To The Finish

With my evening of pizza and true crime shows having been abruptly shattered by Logan’s obnoxious honking outside, I sighed and leaned on the balcony railing. There he was, sitting in his red convertible with a sheepish grin on his face.

“Wanna go for a joyride?” he called up to me, the grin on his face only widening even more. I raised an eyebrow and frowned down at him. “A joyride, Logan? Seriously?”

“Yes, seriously,” he replied as he climbed out of the car. “It’ll be fun.”

I paused for a moment, glancing down at my clothes. I had only just gotten home from work less than twenty minutes ago, and was already in my sweatpants and hoodie. My hair was pulled up into a messy bun on top of my head, and my makeup was smudged. Not to mention the uneaten, greasy pizza that was waiting for me on my coffee table.

“I can’t,” I said, shaking my head. “I’ve got a hot date with some bodega pizza and a true crime show-”

His laughter just drifted up to me and interrupted me mid-sentence, only serving to further amplify my annoyance. “True crime? C’mon, Miss Morgan. Get dressed. Let’s have some fun.”

My arms crossed over my chest as I considered his proposition. But even then, I wasn’t particularly keen on going out with him; especially not when I had promised to myself that I wouldn’t let him in. It was already bad enough that we had gotten so close recently, and after what happened in the restaurant…

“Logan, I just got out of work. Sorry, but I don’t want to go out.”

“Oh, come on,” he called back, his grin unwavering. “I’ve got a surprise for you and everything. I promise you’ll be glad you came.”

I paused, rolling my eyes but also oddly intrigued at the same time.

“You should go.” Ema’s voice, always in the back of my mind, chimed in. “You could use a little fun. And the two of you…”

“Enough with the two of us,” I interrupted, feeling the telltale sign of my heart picking up its pace at my wolf’s implication. “It’s not happening.”
