Chapter 121: Wooing of Serena
Dana had let the kids stay up to wait for Logan and Serena. They were sitting on the couch, already in
their pajamas. Oliver was drawing a picture and Olivia was reading a book.
âMommy, daddy!â Olivia said when they came in. They both jumped off the couch and ran over to hug
their parents. âHey you two,â Logan said, dropping to a knee to hug them better. âHow were they?â
Serena asked Dana. âPerfect angels, as always,â Dana said. âWe can put them to bed if you want to
turn inâ Serena offered. âGreat, thank you,â Dana said. âI will take them to daycare in the morning.â
Serena nodded and waved goodnight to Dana. âYou should say goodnight to Dana and thank her for
dinner,â Logan told the twins. âThank you, Dana. Goodnight,â they both said together. âAlright, it is time
for you two to get up to bed too.â Serena said to the kids. âCan you tuck us in?â Olivia asked Logan.
âThatâs why Iâm here,â he said. Serena followed them all upstairs. She was happy to see the twins
bonding with Logan, and to see how hard he was trying to be a good dad. Serena hung back though,
watching as Logan tucked each twin in to their respective beds. She went in after and kissed them
each goodnight. Seeing as Logan wasnât there every single night, she wanted to give him the chance to
take control and be the primary caregiver when he was around. It created a stronger bond between him
and the kids. There was still a lot he missed out on, at least until Serena was sure she wanted them all
to live together. When they got scared at night, it was her bed they crawled into. She was there for all
their bumps and scrapes and questions.
Logan still only had split time with them.
âWhen can we go stay at your house?â Olivia asked Logan as he was tucking her head.
âOh, I donât know,â Logan said. âI think we will all live together sometime.â âNo, I mean, when can Oliver
and I come stay with you for a while?â she clarified. Serena stood in the doorway, listening to the
conversation. It made her heart hurt a little to hear that they wanted to go stay with their father. She
almost felt like she and Logan were a divorced couple trying to figure out joint

custody. Their situation was the exact opposite, but it made sense that the twins would still want to split
time between their mother and father.
âIf you really want to come stay at my house for a while, we can talk about that with Oliver and your
mother,â Logan said. He kissed Oliviaâs forehead and stepped away. Serena went to Olivia and kissed
her goodnight. She and Logan went back to the living room âThank you for the date tonight,â Serena
said. She walked out onto the porch with Logan. Serena looked up at the night sky, leaning her
shoulder against the porch rail pillar. Logan came up beside her and put his arm around her waist. âIt
was a good date,â he said, slowly caressing her hip with his thumb. Serena gasped, closing her eyes.
Talking about their shared night at the masquerade had stirred up a lot of heated memories and
feelings for Serena. Even such a simple touch had desire stirring inside
of her âAnd now we say goodnight?â she asked. âIf you want,â Logan said with a chuckle. Serena
turned towards him. She slipped her arms around his neck and stepped closer to him. Logan held her
hips in his strong hands. âGoodnight,â she said, biting her lower lip playfully. Logan scoffed and shook
his head. He dipped his head low, catching her lips with his. Serena gasped. His lips were warm and
soft, pressing gently to hers. Serena closed her eyes, succumbing to the feelings coursing through her.
She kissed him back, the moment turning from a simple goodnight kiss into a heated, passionate kiss
in seconds. Loganâs hands ran up and down her sides and Serena curled her hands in his hair. She
pressed her body as close to his as she could, and Logan stepped back, leaning against the porch
pillar behind him. With a soft moan, Serena pulled away, panting for breath. Her cheeks were flushed.
Logan released her so she could step back and catch her breath. She looked up at him to see him
smiling at her, a goofy grin. âThat was a perfect end to a perfect date,â he said. Serena giggled. âYeah, I
think so,â she said. âGoodnight,â he said with a nod. He chucked her chin and headed off the porch.
Serena watched Logan disappear in to the darkness. She felt a knotted frustration building in her
stomach, like she needed some kind of release from the heat that wound through her.

Going to work after her date, Serena couldnât help the smile that was plastered all over her face. Her
cheeks were aching from smiling so much, but she couldnât help it, and she couldnât stop, even if she
wanted to.
âYou are in a remarkably good mood,â Adriana pointed out. âHow was your night last
night?â
Serenaâs smile pulled even wider.
âLogan and I went on a date,â she explained. âAnd then we got home in time to tuck the kids in.â
âWow, he is really stepping up to the plate with you,â Adriana commented.
âIt is so wonderful,â Serena said. âI forgot how great dating could be.â âIâm sure he is pulling out all the
stops,â Adriana said. She motioned to the door of the waiting room A flower delivery man came in with
a large bouquet of beautiful red flowers. Serena just stared at them. âIâve got a delivery for Serena,â the
delivery man said. âOver here,â Adriana called, waving the delivery man over. Serena still stared in
shock. âHere you are,â the flower delivery man said, setting the bouquet on the reception desk next to
Serena. âThey are from Alpha Logan.â
âYeah, big surprise,â Adriana said. âTh-thank you,â Serena said with a nod. âWhy donât you go put those
in your office,â Adriana suggested. Serena blinked, breaking out of her shock. âAll the stops,â she said
with a giggle. Adriana laughed and called in her next patient. Serena took the flowers to her office. She
set them on her desk and opened a window curtain to give them some natural light.
There were red roses, red peonies, red carnations, mixed with white babyâs breath and green foliage. It
was the most beautifully crafted and lush bouquet that Serena had ever seen. She leaned in, pressing
her face right into the flowers to smell them. A small card was pinned to the vase. Serena opened the
card.
Serena,
Thank you for an amazing night last night. Iâve forgotten how great dating can be. Though, I think for
that to happen, it has to be with the right person, someone special.
Being with you, being a father to the twins, is more important to me than I think youâll ever know. Again,
I say, thank you. I will be wooing you in all the most romantic ways possible until I win your heart

completely. -Logan Serena pressed her hand over her heart as she read his card. It was such a
beautiful sentiment. Her knees even went a little weak when she thought of what that meant. She
hadnât been romanced like that in a long time, and she was starting to look forward to it
Serena got back to work, her mind on the bouquet all day. She didnât want to think about how much
Logan had spent on the flowers. It was a very nice, very expensive gesture.
As much as Serena appreciated it, she didnât want Logan to feel like he had to spend a lot of money on
her. She also didnât want him to think that spending money on her and getting gifts from him would
make her a âkeptâ woman. When she had a break, she called Logan quickly. âI wasnât expecting to hear
from you today,â Logan said. âEven after sending me that huge bouquet?â Serena asked with a giggle.
âAhh, Iâm glad you like it,â he said. âI really do,â Serena admitted. âI know you want to do all the big
romantic gestures, and Iâm fine with that, but I want to make sure you donâtâ¦â she trailed off. âThat I
donât what?â he asked. âWell, I donât want you to think you have to spend a lot of money on me,â she
said. âOh, I donât,â Logan said casually. âI just want to.â âOkay,â Serena said with a laugh. âThereâs
something else too, isnât there?â Logan asked. âYeaâ¦I donât want you to think this makes me likeâ¦a
kept woman or something. Like the presents and gifts are a way to control me,â she said. Logan
laughed into the phone. âOh, no, I donât think that at allâ Logan assured. âJust remember, the things I do
are because I want to. I want to romance you, appreciate you as the mother of my kids, and thank you
for letting me be a part of the family.â Serena smiled, pleased that Logan was just acting out of
kindness and caring.
