4: The Ultimate embarresedment

 *Logan*

 After we unloaded all their bags and got them inside, which took some time as there was quite a lot of stuff. I talked a bit to Ryan, even though he still annoys me and told him they can stay in the tents tonight, it will be easier for them to get help tomorrow.

 “Have you seen my phone ?” I ask AJ as I walk into the living room.

 He shakes his head. “No, not since before your shower”.

 “Hmm I might have put it in my room”. I turn to walk out again.

 “Hey Logan, by the way Lee is using your shower, just so you, don’t just walk in”. He calls out, and I give him a nod to say I have heard him.

 I walk down to my bedroom, the door is slightly ajar, and I can hear the water running in the bathroom, so I expect he is in there. Okay so no problem just taking a look if I left the phone on my bedside table.

 Slipping into the room I freeze, and it takes me a moment to realise what I am seeing. Lee naked, his back to me. “Shit sorry man, I didn’t mean too ...”. I cut myself off when I realise he has earbuds in and can’t hear me.

 I know I should just go, but I feel paralyzed and then I realise to my own shock that my body is responding to the sight in front of me and my wolf is bursting in my head, trying to tell me what I do not want to hear ... What the ? No wait, I am not attracted to men, at all, never even thought about it. Not that I,have a problem with it, it’s just not for me so what the fuck is happening ? He can’t be my mate.

 He bends down and two things hit me, one he has really long hair and his skin looks oddly hairless and smooth, even for a young man … then he pulls up red lace panties … wait what ? and turns around, his ... no wait, her breasts bouncing slightly … Oh bingo Logan, Lee is a girl ... an absolutely stunning girl who is staring at you like you are some freak.

 “Oh wow ... you are her ... you are not a boy”. Yeah I sound like a retard.

 She desperately tries to cover herself, yelling because of the earbuds, or maybe because I am just standing here like a moron. “For fucks sake Logan ... I am naked here”.

 “Yeah ... sorry, I thought you were a teenage boy ... wait that didn’t ... I mean I thought you were in the shower ... no not much better, sorry”. She is a bit on the skinny side, but her legs are amazing, long and perfectly shaped.

 “Get the fuck out you pervert ... out now”. She screams and I hurriedly turn on my heels, almost running out of there.

 I slump down on a chair in the kitchen, trying to collect myself. Okay really happy she isn’t a boy. I mean I don’t think I could handle being attracted to teenage boys all of a sudden, not to mention mated to one ... that would freak me out just a bit honestly.

 But damn those legs ... no Logan, for god's sake she might be female ... but she is a teenager for fucks sake, you could be her father and I definitely do not see myself as one of those Alpha’s who will drool over young women, not that young ones at least. 

 She had a really nice ass too.

 I rub a hand over my face, breathing out slowly. Yes, you saw her naked and yes it was a rather nice ... sight ... and yes it has been a while ... but no, I need to keep my mind out of the gutter. I also need to apologise ... a real apology.

 *Hadley*

 I pull on the rest of my clothes. Fuck so Logan just saw me naked with my ass in the air ... Well at least the cat is out the back, he knows I am not a boy.

 So maybe it was a bit much screaming at him like that, but he surprised me and well it was rather embarrassing too. 

 As soon as I walk out, now wearing leggings and a soft plaid shirt, he stands up, clearly having waited in the kitchen. “I am so sorry Hadley. I heard the water running and thought that you ... Lee was still in the shower. Sorry for acting so weird too, honestly I was shocked ... not that you look shocking … you look good. God, I mean ... Okay I’ll stop talking now ... sorry”.

 “Logan … it’s okay”. I mean it’s clear to see he is honest and a bit out of it. I know he didn’t know I was there. “I was filling water in the sink to try and soak my hoodie, I got some stuff on it in the crash”.

 “I promise I wasn’t staring … in a creepy way I mean”. He sighs, running a hand over his face. “I honestly am not some pervert, I was just shocked because ... well didn’t expect you there and I genuinely thought you were ... like a 14 year old boy and that was really weird for ... okay stopping again”.

 I step up to him, putting my hand on his chest. “You really ramble a lot ... But you are kinda cute when you ramble”.

 “Uhm thanks, I think”. He is looking at my hand. Yeah okay I know I probably shouldn’t be flirting with him. I mean he has to be, at least thirty or something ... but he really is handsome and so cute being all flustered … and I feel this pull towards him that I can’t explain.

 Okay I know it, I am bad ... really bad. But something about him is enticing ... I want to know more about him. My hand slides up over his shoulder and down to squeeze one of those magnificent biceps. “So there really wasn’t much padding in that costume after all”.

 He takes my hand removing it, his eyes catching mine, they are soft, friendly and a bit worried. “Hadley ... you are a sweet girl, but a girl nonetheless. I mean you are what ... like eighteen ... ?”

 “Nineteen ... I am nineteen”. I mumble, warmth is spreading through my arm from where he is touching me.

 “Nineteen then ... you are a teenager, you should not be flirting with grown men”. His forehead scrunches up. “Do you even know how old I am ?”

 I shrug, by the way don’t think I am some kind of ... flirty or ... easy girl. I am actually not, I very rarely flirt and I have only been with one other man beside Ryan. “Uhm like thirty or something”. 

 “You are flattering me, but thanks. I think the greys are starting to talk for themself though”. He lets go of my hand. “Hadley I am thirty nine. I am turning forty in the fall. I am twice your age ... more than twice your age. I could be your father ... so ... I am far too old for you and you are definitely too young for me too ... way too young”.

 I know he means well, but for some reason it makes my stomach knot up painfully. “I’m not a kid you know”.

 “Oh I know ...”. The words come out slightly breathless, making me look up at him, something odd flashing through his eyes, but then he smiles softly. “But it doesn’t change the fact that compared to me -.. you kinda are”.

 “Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable”. I bite my lip. I do not want to humiliate myself.

 He gives me the most brilliant smile. “No problem sweetie, by the way I told Ryan that you guys can stay here till tomorrow and he accepted. I have some luxury tents out back. I hope it’s okay with you ?”

 “Sounds great honestly”. I am happy not having to get back on another bus tonight. “Thanks Logan”.

 “Your welcome darling”. He puts an arm around my shoulder, leading me to the living room. “Friends ?”

 I nod, leaning slightly against him, my arm slipping around his waist. “Friends”.
