The Billionaire’s Intern

Part Four

What is she doing? Addison Treffen is sitting in a bar alone, drinking to the mess her life is in: her friend is missing somewhere overseas, her family has been ruined by her father’s scandal and her so-called love life consists in a brief affair with a recluse who continually punishes himself and pushes Addison away. And now she’s got her eyes closed tight, wondering if Logan Black is really standing at the bar, coming to rescue her from her pity party. Screw that. She needs to rescue herself. This is the new Addison. The strong woman who is finally realizing who she really is, not who everyone wants her to be. Logan taught her that. If he’s not there when she opens her eyes, she should march back to the hotel and…what? All she can think of doing is kissing him. Ah, crap. Come on, coward, just open your eyes and get it over with…

Logan Black had a bad habit of turning up when he shouldn’t. He’d all but risen from the grave five years ago, and now he was here, when his social anxiety should make it impossible. The last two times he’d left the hotel had resulted in panic attacks, so of course she’d never imagined he would pursue her here in the outside world.

Unless he was a figment of her imagination.

He took a step into the bar, and Addison knew for sure she wasn’t hallucinating.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

“I came to get you,” he said.

“Damn, girl,” Isobel, the bartender, said. “You’re in trouble.”

And Addison wasn’t sure if Isobel meant right this moment, or in a much broader, philosophical sense. Addison feared it was the second one. Well, and the first one too.

Though somehow the immediate threat seemed…desirable. Which went a long way in showing just how messed up she was in the head.

But oh well. Owning it. That was her new thing.

“How did you come to get me?” she asked. “I mean, all things considered.”

“It’s easier in the dark. Plus…” He looked around the room. “The bar isn’t exactly crowded.”

“I’m busy, though,” Isobel said.

Logan ignored her. “And I wasn’t about to leave you out here doing God knows what.”

“Yeah, I am a loose canon, Logan, I’ll give you that. Given my wild-child past.” She rolled her eyes. At him. At herself.

“You’re out here drinking,” he said. “Alone.”

“Are you going to lecture me on how unsafe it is? Because given that I’ve spent weeks holed up in a hotel with you, I don’t think I was much safer before I came out. With or without the alcohol.”

“Fair point, little girl,” he said, stepping down into the bar area, his hands at his sides. He curled his fingers into his fists and she watched the leather on the gloves stretch tight over his knuckles.

“I’m going to go to the back and…inventory,” Isobel said, her footsteps indicating a very quick scurry.

“I’m not a little girl,” Addison said, standing up and starting to walk past him. He reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her, the look on his face one of pure danger.

“You ran scared like one.”

“That was your goal, wasn’t it? You pushed me away. You did it on purpose.”

“Hell yes,” he said, lifting his other hand and dragging his leather-covered fingertip across her cheekbone and down her jaw, “it was my goal.”

“Then why are you here? And I mean seriously, how the hell did you manage?” She looked at him and, even in her slightly altered state, she could see he was affected by being here.

He took hold of her jaw, the leather cold against her skin. “Because I decided I didn’t want you to go. Fickle bastard that I am.” He released her, and she felt nothing but disappointment.

He was too controlled. Too contained. She wanted him wild.

“Somehow I don’t think fickle is a word often used to describe you.” She was pushing him, and she knew it.

“Not often,” he said. “But I find I want you gone. And at the same time I very much want you with me, so I’m not sure what else to call that.”

“Confusing.”
