Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 190

Sloane was waiting at the apartment when he finally walked through the door.

Seeing the exhaustion etched deep into his features, she didn't interrogate him about the mission. Instead, she asked softly, "You must be exhausted. Want me to give you a massage?"

No matter how drained he was, Logan immediately pulled her into a tight embrace. "You're still recovering. I'm not going to make you work."

"I'm practically fully healed. Besides, rubbing your shoulders is hardly manual labor."

"Are you sure?"

"Go lie down on the bed," Sloane ordered.

Hearing the words "lie down," a dangerously wicked gleam flashed in Logan's tired eyes, his gaze turning instantly seductive.

"I... I didn't mean it like that! Just go lie down so I can press your temples!"

The more she tried to backpedal, the worse it sounded.

Logan's smirk only grew wider.

He had already showered at the barracks, so he complied eagerly. "Well, if my beautiful wife insists on serving me, who am I to refuse?"

Once he lay back against the pillows, Sloane pulled up a chair to the edge of the bed and gently began massaging his temples.

After a few minutes, Logan closed his eyes, letting out a heavy sigh of relief. "Sloane, I love the way you smell. It grounds me."

"It's literally just hospital sanitizer. Studies show that the chemical compounds..." Sloane started to explain.

Logan reached up and touched her lips. "Don't ruin the mood with science."

Sloane rolled her eyes but kept massaging.

Logan smiled, speaking softly. "Do you remember the first time you gave me a massage back at the old apartment? I had a dream that night."

"What did you dream about?"

"Just a really beautiful dream," Logan replied, deciding to keep the memory of his late mother to himself.

"Keep your secrets then."

After about ten minutes, Logan reached up and gently caught her wrists. "I feel much better now."

Feeling the rough heat of his palms enveloping her hands, Sloane froze.

A jolt of pure electricity shot straight from her fingertips to her core.

Logan sat up and seamlessly pulled her down onto his lap.

Her entire body tensed instantly.

He...

Before she could process it, his lips crashed into hers, starting out agonizingly slow before deepening into something utterly consuming.

He kissed her until she completely melted against him, only pulling back slightly to whisper, "Can we?"

Sloane's eyes snapped open.
