unattractive. They weren’t men; they were selfish assholes in his opinion. The world would be a better place without them.
         The line moved sluggishly. Almost half an hour had passed by the time they stepped through the front doors and into the air conditioned store.
         Sienna’s mouth dropped in shock and awe. The décor was fantastic! It was even better than the other stores Logan had opened. It was designed to feel like a small Tuscan village, and Logan had certainly pulled it off.
         “It’s amazing,” she told Robert.
    He glanced around, taking it all in. “Yes, it is. It seems that Logan Drake has done it again.”
         “I’m glad to hear that,” said a voice off to the side.
         As they turned, Robert and Sienna saw the man in question.
         Sienna’s gaze took all of him in, from his tucked in blue button down shirt to his black dress slacks. He had dispensed with a coat and tie, but looked edible just the same.

        Logan stepped closer to them. Sienna looked beautiful today. He eyed the man next to her, wondering who he was. He glanced at their joined hands and his eyes narrowed. Was she seeing someone? He certainly didn’t blame the man for being smitten with her. After all, Logan had only met her once and had wanted to ask her out on the spot.
        “I’m Logan,” he said as he offered his hand to Robert.
        “Robert. And I believe you’ve already met Sienna.”
        Logan nodded. “Yes, we met briefly last night on the beach. I’m glad that you came by today.”
        “When I heard about your grand opening I knew we had to come. Sienna just loves your bookstores,” Robert responded.
        Beside him, Sienna was blushing furiously. Leave it to Robert to embarrass her beyond belief. She glanced at the floor, hoping it would conceal her red cheeks.
        Releasing her hand, Robert took a step away. “If you don’t mind, I think I’m going to go browse through the mystery section.”
        Sienna looked after him with despair. Now what? How was she supposed to carry on a conversation with a man who tied her up in knots? She could barely think around Logan Drake, much less converse with the man.
        “What do you think of the store, Sienna?” Logan asked quietly, moving closer to her.
        She looked up into his eyes and her breath caught. He was near enough that she could smell his aftershave and it was intoxicating. Her knees felt weak and she started feeling lightheaded. Sienna thought she was going to hit the floor at any moment.
        Logan stepped closer still, his body almost brushing against hers. “You didn’t answer my question.”
        “Oh, um, I… I really like it. It’s different than anything else you’ve done.”
        He gave her his sexiest, most deadly grin. “I’m glad you like it.”
        Sienna held back a gasp. The man was positively sinful. And was he flirting with her? Surely not… no, she must definitely be mistaken. There was no reason for Logan to be flirting with her of all people. Maybe if she remembered how to breathe, the oxygen could circulate to her brain and she’d stop having these idiotic thoughts.
        “And your boyfriend… does he like my other stores as well?” Logan asked, deciding to go on a fishing expedition.
        “Boyfriend?” she asked, dumbfounded.
        Logan nodded toward the mystery section. “Robert.”

         “Oh. Oh! Oh no, Robert isn’t my boyfriend. He lives next door and he’s my friend, but that’s all.” Sienna shut her mouth suddenly. What was wrong with her? She was babbling and acting like an idiot.
         “I’m glad to hear that you’re just friends,” he told her.
         “You are?”
         Logan nodded. “Yes because I’ve wanted to ask you something. I wanted to ask you last night, but you seemed a bit shy.”
         Shy? He thought she was shy? Well, it was as good an excuse as any. It was
