and thought of Friday. His freedom meant he would also be able to see Kristen without people around. He looked forward to having her to himself. A part of him thought he should leave her alone but it was too late for that now.
     

 
     
    Chapter Three
    Freedom
     
     
                  Logan had arranged for his driver to pick him up. He’d considered asking Kristen, but he wasn’t sure how she would have responded to such a request.
    His driver and overall assistant, Ed, had taken care of his properties and cars while he had been incarcerated. Logan had people to oversee his businesses but Ed was the one he trusted with his personal life. They had formed a bond when they were both in the foster care system and it had landed both of them in the same group home for a short period of time. They had a lot in common and it had followed them into their adulthood.
    “Hey, boss. Great to have you back,” Ed said with a huge smile, which Logan returned as he got into the car. There were not a lot of people who left prison in a limo so he knew this would be talked about among the staff. They could talk all they wanted. He was away from their control. Money had bought him certain luxuries in prison but he had still been in a cell and forced to live with people who were true criminals.
    His early life had taught him how to deal with criminals. He had been where most of them were now.
    It was interesting that the police had waited until he was done with that kind of life before finding something to stick him with.
    But he wouldn’t allow all that to cloud his homecoming so he sat back and enjoyed the ride to his apartment in the city.
    He had a meeting with Kristen tomorrow. Tonight, he could rest and consider his next move with her and the program.
    She had consumed his thoughts lately and he wanted to figure out what had made her so memorable to him. He needed to find out so he could get it out of his system and then move on.
                  When Ed pulled up in front of his apartment, Logan suddenly wished he had someone waiting for him. It would have been easy to arrange but that wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted someone there who was truly happy he was home, not paid to do so.
    He made his way up the steps and gave Ed the schedule for the next day. He was meeting Kristen early and he didn’t want to be late.
    He walked through his front door and he had to admit it felt strange. His home was chrome, silk sheets, white walls and extravagant things, not a greying blanket on a sagging cot.  Ed had shopped for him so he also had food and all the basics, but what he wanted wasn’t in the refrigerator.

                  Kristen had thought about asking Logan if he wanted to have dinner. It had to be hard to come home alone after his ordeal.
    Well, she assumed he was alone but probably not. His money and good looks attracted scores of women. She knew he didn’t need her company.
    It bothered her a little that he might be with another woman. Ridiculous. He didn’t belong to her and he never would.
    She busied herself with small tasks at work. She wanted everything to be perfect when he came in the morning. She wanted him to know his money was well spent and she was serious about this project.
    It took her mind off things. She was soon deep in the zone. She didn’t hear someone come in. She wasn’t expecting anyone and when he spoke, she jumped.
    “Working late, I see. I guess you want to impress the boss.” Logan was smiling at her.
    “I always work late and I couldn’t care less if the boss is impressed or not,” she said with a small smile, or maybe she was grimacing. Her stomach had got to quit getting wonky on her whenever he was near.
    “I think you do but we won’t squabble over the details,” he said.
    “I thought you would have big plans tonight.” She raised her eyebrows a bit.
    “I couldn’t think of anywhere else I would rather be than with you so I came here.”
    He
