I love that she's wants it and fears it at the same time. It's perfectly natural. You can watch movies, read books (or smutty fan fiction) or listen to your friends' stories all day long, but that moment of surrender is something you can never completely understand until it happens to you.

As for Logan's behavior at the beginning, I'd like to think he was trying to show her that she didn't have to be afraid of hurting him. The only way to do that was to expose her skin. She was too afraid to do it willingly, so he had to sort of insist. In the end, they trust each other enough that they both knew neither one would go too far.

Great chapter. Ready for more. --Wendie

'bout time Marie figured out what's been going on in Logan's mind. :)

I *love* the last line!
