Chapter 114: One Step at a Time
When Serena woke up in the morning, Logan was asleep in the comfy chair. She smiled tenderly at him. He didn’t even move when she got up. Grabbing some clothes, Serena went to the bathroom to change. She came back to
find that Logan was still fast asleep.
Going over to him, Serena reached out and smoothed some of his hair out of his face. She hadn’t been expecting him to ask if they could have a more intimate relationship She hadn’t been expecting him to confess feelings for her either! It had caught her off guard, and she had given the typical excuse that was expected Serena had made her excuses quickly, but now she was having second thoughts about her decline.
Logan was a great Alpha, a wonderful male, and he had proven more than once that he loved the twins and would protect her. He’d been an upstanding gentleman when Holly told him she was pregnant, committing to stay with her even though he didn’t want to. It was all very admirable.
Serena’s fingers slipped from Logan’s hair and brushed his cheek. The Alpha started awake, causing Serena to pull back quickly. “Sorry,” she said quickly. Logan raised an eyebrow at her. “I must have dozed off,” he said, shaking his head and blinking several times. “It’s alright,” Serena assured. “Want some coffee and some breakfast.” “Are you cooking?” he asked, running his hand down his face. Serena giggled. “I promise I will make something simple, like cereal,” she said. She couldn’t exactly get offended by something so true, like how horrible her cooking was. “I’m in,” Logan said with a nod. Serena headed downstairs to the kitchen while Logan collected himself. She put on a pot of coffee and got a few boxes of cereal out of the cabinet. Most of them were kids’ cereals with marshmallows or fruity colors.
“I smell coffee,” Logan said. “It smells good.” Serena smiled at him, handing him an empty mug. She pulled the sugar and milk out for Logan.
The pot was still bubbling, the coffee moments from being done. “I don’t have breakfast for adults,” she said with a little laugh as she waved her hand over the cereal boxes. Logan chuckled, pouring himself a mug of coffee and handing one to Serena too. Serena nodded in thanks.
“Don’t worry about it,” logan said ‘I can make a manly breakfast out of this
