My Weakness Page 19

  The upper deck is filling as more people finish their dinners and come outside. It must be just about time for the fireworks because we only have a short time left on the boat. Suddenly there’s a large boom in the sky and it lights up. Logan reaches over for my hand and I lean my head on his shoulder to watch the display lighting up the sky. It’s absolutely spectacular and a perfect way to end the night.

  “I love you, Skyler,” he whispers in my ear.

  I turn to him and smile. “I love you too, Logan.”

  Chapter 18

  Skyler

  This has been the most incredible five days of my life. We have done so many wonderful things together and Logan has done nothing but fulfill my every wish. We’ve done everything from snorkeling, to swimming with dolphins, to enjoying a day at the spa. One of my favorite parts of the trip was the tour we went on. We visited Pearl Harbor, the USS Missouri, a pineapple plantation, a nut farm, and we were taken to see stunning beaches, lookout points, volcanic craters, and lush rainforests. Our tour guide filled us in on all the history from around the island, telling us about movies filmed there, the history of some of the buildings, rich sides of the island versus poor sides of the island. Hawaii is a truly beautiful place to live.

  Today we have decided to take it easy before we have to fly back home. Logan says he has one more special night planned for me and we can do whatever I want for the day. I want to walk up the beach to have lunch at a beachside restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious. We’ve eaten there a few times throughout the week. We walk down the beach hand in hand.

  “Did you enjoy your time here?” Logan asks me.

  “Of course, it was the best. Thank you for such a wonderful time.”

  “You’re so welcome, my love. Hopefully this will be the first of many trips we can take together. I want to show you the world, baby.”

  We arrive at the restaurant and request an outdoor table so we can sit on the beach for one last meal. I’m hoping it waits to rain until we are done eating. If there’s one thing I’ve learned this week is that it’ll rain at some point every day. It’s usually early in the day, but since it hasn’t rained yet I’m betting it will come soon. It’s not like the rain at home, though, because it stays sunny while it rains and it’s a warm rain with a rainbow immediately following. We walk around the area after lunch to check out some shops. We come across a Coach store, Michael Kors, a Ferrari dealership, and many other shops. Logan pulls me into the Michael Kors store and insists I need a new bag. We walk through and I pick a nice black leather satchel that set him back almost four hundred dollars. I’m quite shocked but I have learned not to argue with him. The clerk wraps my bag up and places it in a paper shopping bag and we head on our way.

  When we finally get back to the room, there’s a bag hanging in our room from a hook.

  “What is that?” I ask him, confused because it wasn’t there when we left.

  “A dress I had delivered for you to wear tonight.”

  “Where are we going?”

  He smiles. “I rented out the beach around our cabana for a special candlelit dinner for two.”

  I can’t help the smile that spreads across my cheeks. “You did not.”

  “I absolutely did, so go get showered and changed because we need to be downstairs at 5:45.”

  I kiss him and run off to shower.

  It’s our last night here and I plan on making it perfect. I have rented a large section of the beach that is being roped off so no one can enter but us, and I’m having a special dinner delivered. I also have arranged for some lights to be hung around our cabana and tiki torches stuck into the sand for some nice lighting. Now I need to get my clothes and the rest of what I need to make the night complete.

  I get my button down short sleeve shirt and my shorts from the closet and tuck her last surprise into my pocket to keep it hidden from spying eyes. I jump in the other shower, ensuring I’m ready when Skyler gets out. I shower quickly, run some gel through my hair, and shave with my electric razor that I brought for touch ups.

  When I walk out of the second bathroom Skyler is standing there wearing a white strapless dress that looks absolutely amazing on her. It’s an elegant white lace dress the front comes just above her knees while the back goes down to her calves. She’s wearing fancy sandals that I know she’ll take off because she loves walking in the sand in the evening once it has cooled down a bit. I take her hand. “Are you ready?” She nods. “You look beautiful. This dress is stunning on you and you have a gorgeous tan.” She blushes. “Come on, I don’t want to be late.”

  Actually I’m nervous about this last surprise and I’m hoping it doesn’t show. Tonight is the night I plan on showing her how much she truly means to me.

  We leave our room and head down to the beach. As we walk by the concierge hand in hand he winks at me, letting me know everything is set up and it’s safe to keep going. I continue past him like I have seen nothing. We get down to the beach and Skyler freezes in her tracks, taking it all in. The hotel has done an amazing job. The ropes have been made out of Hawaiian flowers like they do the leis, and there is a large amount of space around our cabana so we can have our privacy, which is good because I plan on making love to her in that cabana after dinner. The tiki torches are perfectly scattered throughout, making it very romantic, and there’s a table by the water with a two chairs and a candle in the middle.

  “Logan, this is breathtaking.” A tear slips down her cheek.

  “Come on, love.” I pull her toward the table where there are some musicians playing Hawaiian music. We sit at our table, and the water is so close we can almost touch it but the tide is going out so we don’t have to worry about getting soaked. I keep patting my pocket to confirm I didn’t lose what I’m carrying and I hope she doesn’t notice.

  Three waiters come over, two bringing our meals, and one carrying a bottle of wine. They fill our glasses and place our meals on the table then disappear to give us privacy. While the food looks delicious, I’m so nervous I can hardly eat. I force down as much as I can so as not to give anything away.

  “This is delicious,” Skyler says. “Everything has been perfect this week. Thank you again, Logan. I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.”

  “It was my pleasure. I wanted you to be able to relax and enjoy yourself. This vacation has allowed us to do that and for me to spoil you a little too.”

  She raises her eyebrows. “Spoil me a little? How about spoil me a lot. You have treated me to so many surprises, made love to me daily as promised, and now you’re finishing it off with this beautiful dinner on the beach. Logan, I couldn’t think of anything that would have made this trip better.”

  He gives me a sideways grin. “I can think of one more thing that would make this trip absolutely perfect.”

  “Oh yeah? What is that?”

  I pull out the ring and get down on one knee. Skyler knows what I’m doing because her hands have already covered her mouth in shock.

  “Skyler Jones, I love you so much and want to spend the rest of my life making you happy and spoiling you the way I have this week. I want you to live your life never having to worry about a single thing again. Will you please end this trip perfectly by making me the happiest man on this Earth and be my wife?”

  She’s sobbing, but she nods. I slip the ring on her shaking left finger, and when I stand so does she, embracing me. We kiss and I’m thinking thank god she said yes. I ask her to turn around because there’s a photographer standing there that has been taking pictures of our entire dinner and proposal. The picture he’s taking right now is us on the beach with the sun practically set behind us and I’m sure it will be a gorgeous memory.

  We sit back down when the waiters are removing our dinner plates and bringing our desserts.

  “Logan, I can’t believe you planned all of this. It’s so magical. Thank you.”

  “Skyler, I mean it. I want to marry you, and soon
er rather than later. I don’t mind if we wait until after Sadie and Jonah so we don’t steal their thunder, but I want to be married soon.”

  “I don’t care if we get married in the club with our friends. It’s not like I have family here. You and our club friends are my family, so it won’t take a ton of planning as far as I’m concerned.”

  “Good. We’ll start planning as soon as we get back. Since we’re not planning a big elaborate wedding, it won’t matter if we marry before Jonah and Sadie, because their wedding will be quite different from ours.”

  When we finished dessert, I take her by the hand to dance with her on the beach.

  “You have changed my life forever and I’m so thankful.” I brush her hair from her face, place my hand at her nape, and pull her in for a kiss. She opens to me and deepens the kiss, and that’s when I notice the music is fading because the musicians are walking down the beach playing to give us our privacy. I pull her into our cabana and the lawn chair is laid flat with rose petals sprinkled all over it. I slip her dress down her body. She’s standing before me in a white thong and matching bra. I grin and for the sake of ritual I rip the panties off of her and she cracks up laughing.

  I remove her bra. “Lie down, my love.”

  She walks the few steps to the lawn chair and lies down. Luckily for me these lawn chairs are huge and we both fit on one. I kiss her slowly and passionately because I want her to truly feel the love I have for her tonight. I kiss my way up her jaw to her ear. I use the tip of my tongue to lick down the vein in her neck to her collarbone. I take her breast in my hand and massage it for a minute. My hand glides slowly up and down her body. “You have the softest skin. It’s flawless.” I take her nipple in my mouth, sucking it. I gently run the tips of my fingers down her stomach and to her folds. Her hips grind against my hand as I gently start rubbing her clit. I can feel it has hardened when I pinch it lightly between my thumb and forefinger.

  She moans quietly. “Fuck, Logan.”

  I laugh. “We will, love, I promise.” I dip my head to take her nipple again. This time I bite it and her hips jolt up to grind against my hand. I slide two fingers deep inside her and that’s all it takes to send her over the edge. Her muscles tighten around my fingers while I curl them deep inside her. I can’t wait for my cock to feel the same thing. I quickly pull my fingers out of her and stand to remove my shorts.

  I straddle the chair with her legs wrapped around my waist, lean forward, and place one hand on each side of her. I slip my cock inside of her, picking my hips up slightly, I start sliding my entire length in and out of her.

  “Yes, Logan. This feels so good.”

  I continue hammering into her, fighting to maintain control until she releases, but I truly won’t last much longer. “Come on, Sky, let me have it.” And just like that she does. I hammer her a few more times as her tight little pussy milks me for all I’ve got. “Yes, Sky!” I scream and then collapse on top of her.

  We lay on the lawn chair in silence for a few moments, enjoying our time together. Once we’ve caught our breath, I lean up on one arm.

  “Do you like the ring I picked for you?”

  She picks up her left hand and looks at it. “It’s beautiful.”

  I bought her a one carat diamond with pink diamonds wrapped around it so it would match the promise ring she wears on her right hand.

  “I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting all of this when you said you had one last surprise for me. I can’t wait to get home and tell our friends.”

  “You can show them all at our Monday night dinner.”

  “We’re still having it? I thought we were going to skip this week?”

  “Nah, I just said that. I was hoping you would have said yes and then you would want to get together with them to show off your ring and talk about it, so I confirmed with them before we left.”

  “You’re the best, Logan Michaels, and I’ll love you forever.”

  “And I’ll love you forever, Skyler Jones.”

  Epilogue

  Skyler

  This has been the most incredible year of my life, and for the first time ever I can say I’m truly happy. I came to LA in pursuit of a singing career and somewhere along the way realized my dreams had changed. I was offered the opportunity to record an album multiple times, but after spending time in Hawaii with Logan, everything changed. If I took a recording deal, that would mean tours and time away from Logan, and I can’t imagine my life without him.

  As soon as we got back from Hawaii we told our friends of our engagement and we asked Jonah and Sadie if they would be mad if we married before them. Being the great friends they are, they had no problem with it.

  We planned our wedding to be in the club the weekend before it reopened so we wouldn’t interfere with business. Mikey was Logan’s best man and Sadie was my maid of honor. We spent the day surrounded by great friends that we both consider our family. Mikey made a speech about saving Logan’s ass, and it was the hit of the night. Logan hired a wedding planner that had covered everything from decorations, to food and flowers, to making sure the club was cleaned up the day after the wedding. We danced, ate, and drank the night away. I even had a slow dance with Mikey without Logan losing it. We decided to hold off on a honeymoon since we had just gone on vacation. We needed to get Thrive back open, and we were going to have to finish the build on the new club and then start the hiring process.

  The best wedding present ever was when the district attorney called us to let us know that both Billy and Troy pleaded guilty to attempted murder, arson, and bribery. They were going to jail for quite a while, and the DA promised to make sure that once they are released there will be a restraining order in place as part of their parole. Nick also pleaded guilty to accepting a bribe, but he only had to pay a fine and is on probation. He actually sent a letter to Logan and me apologizing for getting involved and explaining that he didn’t know they were planning to set off a bomb in the club. I’m not sure we believe him, but since it was a simple apology we just threw it out and forgot about it.

  Sadie and Jonah got married a few months after us in a delightful ceremony. I was her matron of honor, and I wore the coral dress she wanted me to wear even though I wasn’t fond of it. Logan gave Jonah a huge bonus for helping him get the club up and running while we were in Hawaii, and he used the money to take Sadie there for their honeymoon. We talked to them about some of the great things we saw and did and showed them pictures we took. Logan even called the hotel and paid the upgrade fee for them to get the same room we did as a surprise. He’s a wonderful person with a kind heart, and every time he does something sweet like that I fall in love with him even more.

  This summer we opened Club Heat, the latest strip club in LA, and it’s doing brisk business even though it has only been open a few months. I interviewed tons of choreographers looking for the perfect one to give our guests the best show possible. We wanted the show to be hot but have a classy feel to it as well, and it took a little while to find the right person. So far Clay is working out well. The funny thing about Clay is he’s gay, though somehow he manages to know what’s hot and classy with our female dancers. It’s beyond me how he does it, but I like that I don’t have to worry about him fooling around with my showgirls. I did tell him that if I caught him flirting with my husband even once he was out the door before he could spit out an apology. I winked and told him I was teasing him, but that part was only half true since I caught him checking out Logan’s ass a few times. I still chuckle about it when I think about his reaction. I know it’s probably mean but hey whatever, it worked and he’s no longer looking at Logan’s ass.

  Picking dancers and staff we could trust was probably the hardest part of opening the club. We held two days of initial auditions and then narrowed it down and held one more round before we chose what we needed. It was impressive to see the looks on Logan, Mikey, Jonah, and Shane’s faces when I asked them to sit in with me and rate the girls. They were surprised but tried to pl
ay it cool, and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one to have kick ass sex those three nights. Those boys were so worked up watching the girls dance I think they all ran home to fuck their girlfriends or wives. All but us, of course. Logan took me into our soundproof office where he fucked me twice; once bent over his desk, and I rode him once while he sat in his office chair. I think the only male not affected by the auditions was Clay. He sat there like he was bored, but since he has to work with them he needs to be equally as happy with who we pick.

  I’m quite confident that day led to me being pregnant, though how I don’t know. I never stopped taking the pill, and we have been having sex for almost a year and a half with no other protection. Apparently it was my time, because now I walk around the strip club with a small belly that’s starting to show. Although I’m so glad I didn’t get morning sickness, I’m tired as hell and I’m only four months in. I have no idea how I’m going survive the rest of this pregnancy.

  Logan is ecstatic about the baby and can’t wait for it to be born. He has been handling me with kid gloves. I have to keep reminding him I’m not going to break. At this point I just want to find out the sex. I need to start planning. We’re going to turn the second bedroom upstairs into a nursery, and I want to know if I’m painting it pink or blue.

  The best part of being pregnant right now is Sadie is pregnant too, so we’ll have our babies about the same time and they’ll grow up to be best friends, like their parents. She’s having a girl, and I kind of hope I do too, although I’ll be happy to have a healthy baby. I thank her all the time for pulling me out of the house that night, and of course she eats it up. She knows if it wasn’t for her I may not have met Logan, and although my dreams have changed since that night, they may never have become a reality.
