The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1247

He overestimated his ability to abstain. Lola slept soundly without a care in the world, while he couldn’t even close his eyes. Logan thought the exhaustion would eventually lull him to sleep, but Lola being beside him staved off all sleepiness. A while later, Logan said, “Why don’t I sleep outside, Lola? I can’t sleep with you beside me.”

Logan wondered what was wrong with him. Back when he was dating Jasmine, she’d dropped hints about staying the night together, and he knew her goal was definitely more than that. But all he felt then was frustration, so he pretended to be oblivious to it and rejected Jasmine’s invitation. Now, however, that feeling of lust within him was torturing him, and he didn’t know what to do.

Lola was already drifting to sleep, but she slowly opened her eyes upon hearing him. She could hear the resignation in his voice, so she sat up. Logan still had that towel around him, and there were patches of water on him. Oh dear, he’s hot. Seeing this, Lola licked her lips. “The sofa isn’t that big. Why don’t you sleep on the bed? I’ll take the sofa.”

Logan quickly stopped her. “I can’t let you do that. I’m the man here, so you go back to bed. I’ll take the sofa.” Then, he took his clothes and went out of the room.

When Logan had closed the door, a smile broke out on Lola’s face. He took a cold shower at midnight? That’s some willpower. He held back just like last time. That alone made him better than most men. Lola waited until everything was quiet out there before going back to sleep.
