Part 1

"Thank you so much Lynn," Keith said as he dropped off his daughter at her friend's house.

"It's fine Keith," Lynn replied. "The kids had plans to hang out around the pool today anyway. It's not a problem to have Veronica spend the night."

"I really do appreciate this," Keith said. "I didn't want to leave her home alone all night while I'm at the station."

"Dad, I'm old enough to stay home by myself for one night," Veronica told him.

"I know, but I'd feel a lot better if you weren't alone," her dad explained.

"Logan's out by the pool," Lynn told Veronica.

"I'll go wait with him for Lilly and Duncan to get here," Veronica said. She turned and hugged her father before going into the Echolls' house.

"Well, I guess I should get going," Keith said.

"I should really go start getting ready for the charity event the country club is hosting," Lynn said.

"I'm sorry I kept you so long," Keith said. "I'll be over to pick up Veronica around nine."

"You don't have to do that Keith," Lynn said, "I'll have Aaron's driver bring her home whenever she gets up and dressed."

"Thanks," Keith said. "I'd really appreciate that." He wasn't looking forward to getting up early to pick up Veronica after the stakeout he'd be on that night. Chances were he'd be up until nearly sunrise and he could use all the sleep he could get after it.

Veronica had gone up to Logan's room to change into her bathing suit and drop off her overnight bag. She didn't know which guest room she'd be sleeping in so she just left her bag in Logan's room.

"Hey," Veronica said as she sat down on the edge of the pool. Logan was floating around on a raft with his sunglasses on and she wasn't sure if he heard her.

"Hey," he responded.

"So, it's just gonna be you and me this afternoon," Veronica said.

"Yep," Logan replied. "It's a bummer that Lilly and Duncan had to go out to their grandparents' house today."

"It's not like they wanted to," Veronica said, "but it's not their fault their grandfather had a heart attack. Lilly said she actually heard Celeste crying after they got the news."

"Damn," Logan said, "you know it's bad if the ice queen is crying about it."

Veronica got up to put sunscreen on and then grabbed a raft to float around the pool with Logan. It was late in the afternoon but the sun was still shining bright.

They'd been floating around for a while when Veronica heard someone approaching the pool. Veronica looked over and saw Logan's dad making his way over to the pool.

"Logan," his dad said to get his attention.

"Yeah dad," Logan said moving his sunglasses to sit on top of his head.

"Those DVDs you wanted are sitting on the counter in the kitchen along with money for whatever you and Veronica want to order for dinner," his dad told him.

"Thanks," Logan replied.

"Make sure you lock up and turn on the alarm before you head up to bed tonight," his dad reminded him. "Your mom and I are spending the night at the Grand, but we'll be back in the morning."

"Got it," Logan said. Logan's dad turned and headed back inside to get ready for the charity event they were attending at the hotel.

"So Mars," Logan said to Veronica, "what do you want to order for dinner?"

Later that night Veronica and Logan were hanging out in the pool house watching the DVDs Logan's dad had brought home.

"So," Logan said, "since I picked that movie, I guess it's only fair to let you pick the next one."

Veronica looked through the pile of DVDs. There was American Pie, which she didn't pick because they'd just watched Dude, Where's My Car. There was Scream, but she wasn't sure she wanted to be scared. Coyote Ugly was in the pile, but she knew Logan only wanted to watch it because the girls danced around half-naked with each other. Clueless and Mallrats were on the table as well but Veronica bypassed those too.

"So," Veronica said, holding two DVDs, one in each hand. "Do you want want to go new old school with Cruel Intentions or old old school with William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet?"

"Why do you want to watch tragically sad movies?" Logan whined.

"Hey, you told me I could pick," Veronica reminded him. She placed the two DVDs on the table and began sorting through the pile again. "If I really wanted to make you watch a tragedy I'd have picked this," she said holding up The Virgin Suicides.

"Fine," Logan said, "we'll watch Cruel Intentions." He got up to put the DVD in the player and then moved to sit back on the sofa with Veronica. "I don't even know why we have that movie," Logan said, motioning to The Virgin Suicides DVD. "I mean all the girls in the movie kill themselves. It's fucking depressing as hell."

"It's an indie movie," Veronica told him, "that wasn't a classic love story. I actually liked it."

The'd been watching the movie for a while and it began to make the two of them uncomfortable. Veronica paused the movie when Logan shot up to go to the bathroom. The kissing scene between the two girls had caused both of them to have a physical reaction. Logan knew that his would be obvious if Veronica glanced over, so he went to the bathroom to take care of it.

Veronica was still sitting on the sofa where Logan had left her when he returned. He moved to grab the remote to start the movie when Veronica stopped him.

"Logan can I ask you something?" Veronica questioned.

"You just did," Logan pointed out.

Veronica gave him a look that told him to be serious. "Ok, fine," Logan said, "ask away."

"I was wondering," Veronica said, not sure of how to ask him what she wanted to know, "why'd you rush out of the room a few minutes ago?"

Logan sat there unsure of how to answer that question. He didn't really want to tell Veronica that he left because the scene they'd just watched had turned him on and he had an erection that wasn't going away on its own.

"Was it because you felt something when we watched that kissing scene?" Veronica asked.

"Umm yeah," Logan said, not wanting to elaborate.

"So it wasn't just me," Veronica said.

Logan was stunned. Little Veronica Mars had been turned on by that scene too.

Veronica couldn't believe she'd just admitted that to Logan. She was sure her face was turning red and she had to turn away from him.

"Hey," Logan said, moving closer to her and putting his hand on her shoulder, "it's totally normal to have a physical reaction to a scene like that. It's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Veronica turned to look at him. "I've never kissed anyone like that," she said.

"Do you want me to kiss you like that?" Logan asked, hoping she'd say yes.

Veronica nodded yes and Logan leaned in to kiss her. It was soft and gentle at first but that changed when their tongues got involved. Logan moved to wrap his arms around Veronica's waist and pulled her to straddle his lap. Their hands were all over one another.

Things were getting intense. Veronica was grinding against him and he could feel the reaction he was having to her movements. He was sure she could feel it too.

"Oh God," Veronica said when she pulled back from the kiss. She moved off his lap and looked down at where she had been. She could clearly see the outline of his erection beneath his pajama pants. Logan moved his hands to his lap to try and cover it.

"Have you ever had sex?" Veronica asked in a voice so low Logan wasn't sure he'd heard her correctly.

"Did you just ask me if I've ever had sex?" Logan responded.

Veronica nodded yes, unable to respond. "Why do you want to know?" Logan asked.

"I've never done it and I just wondered if you had," Veronica told him. She knew that Lilly wasn't a virgin any longer. She'd had sex with some guy she'd met during their summer vacation in Italy a month ago.

Logan couldn't believe Veronica was asking him if he'd ever had sex. He'd done some stuff with various girls he'd known when he lived in LA but he'd never gone that far with any of them. Secretly since he'd moved to Neptune and met Veronica he'd fantasized about having sex for the first time with her.

"No," Logan finally told her.

"I thought maybe you might've done it while you still lived in LA," Veronica remarked.

"I never went that far," Logan told her honestly.

"But you've done other stuff?" Veronica asked, wanting to know more.

"Yes," Logan told her. "Are you going somewhere with all these questions?"

"I just want to know more," Veronica explained. "I mean Lilly's told me stuff and I've read stuff in magazines and seen sex in movies and on TV shows. I guess there isn't really anything you can read or see that prepares you for it."

"Not really," Logan said.

"Lilly said it hurts the first time but it feels so good once the pain is gone," Veronica said.

"Wait a second," Logan said. "You're telling me that Lilly's already had sex?"

"She hooked up with some guy in Italy over the summer," Veronica told him.

"I guess that explains why she's been all over Casey at parties," Logan said.

"Do you ever think about your first time?" Veronica asked. moving away from the topic of her best friend.

"Not really," Logan lied.

"I have," Veronica told him. "There's this guy that I like that I've been thinking about a lot lately and I want my first time to be with him."

"Who's the lucky guy?" Logan asked, wondering who Veronica pictured losing her virginity to.

"You," Veronica said looking him in the eyes.

"Is that why you've been asking me all those questions?" Logan prodded.

"Yes," Veronica told him. "I wanted to know if we did have sex that it would be the first time for both of us."

"Just so you know, I've thought you were hot since the first time I saw you," Logan told her. Veronica blushed upon hearing him say that. "You're cute when you blush," he said moving closer to her.

Veronica looked up at him with those blue eyes and his heart melted. He could tell she wasn't sure what she wanted to do at that moment. "Can I kiss you?" Logan asked, wanting very much to be reattached to her lips.

Veronica nodded her head yes. Logan moved his left hand to her right cheek and ran the back of his hand down it. "You're so soft," he said before leaning in to kiss her. He moved his hands down to her neck and around to the back of it. He cradled her head in one hand while the other one moved to her waist.

Veronica was hesitant at first, unsure of what to do with her hands, but once she started getting into the kiss she moved them to run through Logan's hair. A moan escaped her lips as Logan's mouth left hers and began a trail down her neck. He kissed to the side of her neck and began sucking at her pulse point.

"You know if you give me a hickey I'm not going to be able to come over here alone anymore," Veronica told him.

Logan stopped and pulled back to look at her. "Wouldn't want that to happen," he said smiling at her.

"No, we really wouldn't," she replied.

She leaned in to kiss him and pushed him down on his back. He moved to lay comfortably on the sofa and Veronica moved to lay above him. His hands slipped under the back of her shirt and he moaned into her mouth when ground against him. He could feel himself getting hard again and knew he'd have to stop things soon to go to the bathroom again.

Veronica pulled back from their kiss a few minutes later and Logan thought she was going to get up so he could go take care of the situation she'd helped to create. He was wrong though. She moved to straddle his legs and moved her hands to the edge of his pajama pants, slowly moving her fingers under the edge at his hips. She moved to pull them down, but Logan grabbed her wrists to stop her.

"Veronica don't," he told her, still holding her wrists in his hands.

"Why not?" Veronica asked.

"Don't you think we've been going a little too fast tonight?" Logan replied.

"Not really," Veronica said. "We obviously like each other and I'm curious about sex. You said you've done stuff but haven't gone that far. Why not go that far with me?"

Hearing Veronica say those words made his mind cloud over. The girl that he'd been fantasizing about at night when he jerked off was now telling him she wanted to have sex with him. It was like a dream come true.

Logan shook his head to clear it. "Veronica are you sure about this?" he asked. He didn't want her to regret having sex with him. Things would change between them if they took that step and he wanted to make sure she was ready for that.

"Yes," she told him before moving up to kiss him again.

When she pulled back and moved her hands to pull down his pajama pants he stopped her again. "Why don't we go in the bedroom," he suggested. Veronica nodded and moved to get off his lap. He got up and grabbed her hand before leading her to the bedroom in the pool house.

The two of them stood there holding hands, staring at the bed.

"We really don't have to do this Veronica," Logan said looking over at her.

"I want to Logan," she said in a low voice. "I want my first time to be with you."

"I'm not sure I can go through with his," Logan said nervously.

"You don't want to have sex with me?" Veronica asked, a little taken aback by what he'd said.

"It's not that I don't want to have sex with you," Logan told her, "I'm just not sure we're ready for that. I mean we've kind of been moving along pretty fast tonight. We'd never even kissed before now."

"Yes we have, at Shelly's party," Veronica reminded him.

"Ok, so we have kissed," Logan said, "but we weren't thinking about having sex then."

"If you don't want to do it tonight we don't have to," Veronica said looking over at him.

"I just don't want to hurt you," Logan said, a sad tone to his voice.

"You'd never hurt me," Veronica told him.

"If we have sex tonight I would," Logan replied. "I know you think sex is all, well sexy, but the first time is never the way the movies make it look."

He guided her to the edge of the bed and they both sat down.

"You know why Lilly said it hurt at first, right?" Logan asked.

"Yeah," Veronica said looking down at her hands.

"I'm not sure I could stand to hurt you like that," Logan told her.

"I'd rather you do it than anyone else," she said looking up at him. "I know it's going to hurt and be messy, but honestly it's gonna be that way with any guy I have sex with the first time."

They sat there in silence for a few minutes, neither of them sure what to do next.

"I think I'm gonna go back to the main house and go to my room," Veronica said as she moved off the bed.

Logan reached out and grabbed her forearm to stop her. "If you're sure you really want your first time to be with me," Logan said, "maybe we can work our way up to that. I'm not ready to take that step tonight, but I want you to know that I do want to do that with you."

"So, you want to wait," Veronica said.

"Yeah," Logan replied. "I know that's not something a guy would normally say, but I think it's the right thing. We should start off slow and work our way towards that over time."

Veronica smiled at him. She was happy he wasn't telling her no. He was just telling her that it wasn't going to happen that night and she could live with that.

"So, maybe we should go back to the living room and watch the rest of the movie," Veronica said.

"Veronica," Logan said when she turned to walk back to the living room.

"Yeah," she responded.

"I was wondering," he said, "since we're planning to have sex, does that mean we're dating?"

"I was sort of hoping that was what it meant," Veronica said. "I mean you aren't dating anyone right now and neither am I."

"So when we go to school on Monday does that mean I can hold your hand?" Logan asked smiling at her.

"I'd like that," Veronica said smiling back at him.

Logan jumped off the bed and walked over to her. He reached out and took her right hand in his left. "Let's go finish that movie," Logan said, and moved to walk out to the living room with Veronica by his side.

"So," Logan said one day at lunch the next week, "Homecoming's at the end of the month."

"Yes, it is," Veronica said, "and it's a shame no one has asked me to go yet."

"I thought it was a given that we were going together," Logan said as he began to rub his hand up her leg.

"Just because we're dating now doesn't mean you should assume we're going together," Veronica replied.

"Veronica Mars will you do me the honor of being my date to the Homecoming dance?" Logan asked.

"Yes," Veronica answered smiling at him. "Now, was that really so hard?"

"No, but you certainly make a part of me feel that way," Logan said smirking at her.

"Logan!" Veronica exclaimed.

"I can't help it that my girlfriend turns me on," Logan said and leaned over to kiss her.

"Get a room," Lilly said while laughing at them.

"I've already got that covered," he said looking over at Lilly and smiling.

"Planning to seduce my best friend after the dance?" Lilly joked.

"You've got that backwards," Logan said looking over at his girlfriend.

"Yeah, like Veronica's really gonna put the moves on you," Lilly said in a sarcastic tone.

"She already has," Logan told her proudly.

Veronica blushed at Logan saying that.

"Wait a second," Lilly said. "You two haven't done it, have you?"

"Can we please not talk about this here," Veronica pleaded.

"Fine," Lilly said, "but we are so talking about this when we go shopping for our homecoming dresses this afternoon."

Veronica was thankful to have the subject dropped. She didn't really feel like talking about whether or not she'd had sex with Logan at their lunch table with all their friends listening.

"I'm gonna go to the library to study," Veronica said, hastily getting up from the table and gathering her school bag.

Logan moved to go with her, but she stopped him. She needed some time alone to process what they'd all been talking about.

"I'll call you later," Veronica promised him before she walked away.

Veronica couldn't believe she'd let Lilly talk her into the dress she was currently wearing. "My dad is never going to let me go out in this," Veronica told Lilly.

"He doesn't really have a choice," Lilly told her. "He's not gonna make you skip the dance because he doesn't like your dress."

Everyone was meeting at the Kanes' house to take pictures before they left to go to the dance. Veronica was currently in Lilly's room letting her best friend finish putting makeup on her.

"There," Lilly said pulling back to admire her work, "all done."

Veronica turned to look in the mirror. "Wow," she said when she saw the transformation Lilly had done to her. She had smokey black eyes and pink cheeks and lips.

"Lilly," Duncan yelled, "we're gonna be late for dinner!"

"Chill Donut!" Lilly yelled back. "We'll be down in a minute."

Veronica laughed. Lilly was never on time for anything and Duncan knew that.

"Come on," Lilly said, grabbing their clutch purses from her bed, "let's go make some jaws drop."

Lilly handed Veronica her purse and then grabbed her hand as they headed out of her room.

Logan and Casey were talking when Lilly and Veronica finally made their way into the living room.

"Wow," Logan said when he saw Veronica. His eyes got big and his mouth hung open.

"I told you it was a jaw dropping dress," Lilly said to her best friend.

"You look amazing Lil," Casey said, pulling her in for a kiss.

"I know," Lilly said with an air of confidence.

"Can we please go take the pictures so we can leave?" Duncan asked.

Everyone was ushered to the backyard and all of the parents took pictures of the group. There were couple pictures taken and Veronica and Lilly had their parents take a few of just the two of them. Lilly's dad had Veronica's video camera and was recording all of it for them.

"The limo's here," Duncan announced.

The group headed out to the driveway. Their parents all told them to have fun and be safe before the six of them got into the limo.

Later that night Logan and Veronica slipped out of the ballroom at the hotel to go up to the room Logan had booked for them.

"How'd you manage to get a hotel room? Don't you have to be eighteen or something?" Veronica asked as they rode the elevator up to their floor.

"I had help," Logan told her.

Veronica gave him a look.

"Connor Larkin owed me," Logan said. "He picked me up earlier and drove me over here to check in."

"It must be nice to have friends like that to help you out," Veronica said.

"It has its perks," he said smiling at her.

The elevator finally stopped and they got off. Logan led Veronica down the hall and slid the key card to open the door to their room.

"Wow," Veronica said when they made their way into the room. "This is the fanciest hotel room I've ever been in."

"Well, I figured we're only going to lose our virginity once," Logan said, "so why not go all out."

Veronica stood there, not sure what to do. Being alone in the hotel room with Logan was suddenly making her nervous, even though she was the one who'd brought up them having sex.

Logan could sense her nervousness and reached out to pull her into his arms. "We don't have to do it tonight if you're having second thoughts," Logan told her. "I don't want us to rush into this and have you regret it."

"It's not that," Veronica explained. "I still want to have sex with you. I mean we've done other stuff since we started dating."

"I know, but once we do it there's no going back," Logan told her.

"Why don't we start out with kissing," Veronica said, "and see where that leads."

Logan leaned down and pressed his lips to Veronica's. She moaned into mouth and moved her hands up his chest to push his jacket off his shoulders. Logan let it fall to the floor behind him and then moved his to wrap his arms around her waist. He pulled her tight against his body and maneuvered them towards the bed.

He let go of Veronica and sat on the edge. He leaned down to take off his shoes and then moved up to lay on the pillows. Veronica followed his lead and slipped off the sparkly silver heels she was wearing.

She moved onto the bed and made her way to Logan. She moved to straddle him, her core pressing against his rapidly hardening erection. She leaned down to kiss him and he moved his right hand to the base of her neck, pulling her down to him. He moved his other hand up to her neck and unhooked her dress.

Veronica felt him doing that and pulled back from their kiss. Logan thought he'd gone too far too fast and quickly apologized.

Veronica put a finger to his lips. "Stop apologizing," she told him. She moved off the bed and let her arms slip out of the straps that held up her dress. The top of the dress fell to her waist when she did that revealing her small pert breasts to Logan's lust-filled eyes. She moved her hands to the side to to unhook and unzip the bottom. She let the dress fall to the ground and then moved back onto the bed, crawling her way back to Logan.

Logan sat up on the bed and moved to meet her halfway. They were kneeling in the middle of the king size bed kissing passionately. Veronica reached her hands down between them and unbuttoned his pants.

"Whoa," Logan said, grabbing her hands, "slow down."

"I don't want to," Veronica told him. "We don't have all night and we're wasting time."

Logan was surprised by his girlfriend, but wasn't about to argue with her. He wanted to have sex with her probably more than she wanted to have sex.

He released her hands and let her continue. He maneuvered them so she was lying on the bed. He kissed down her neck and slowly made his way down her body. He slid her sexy black panties down her legs. He tossed them in the vicinity of her dress and stood up to finish undressing. He reached down to retrieve the condom he'd brought from his wallet before moving back up the bed to lay next to Veronica.

"You're really sure about this?" Logan asked again, holding up the foil packet.

"Yes," Veronica said, reaching out and grabbing the condom from him. She looked down and saw that he was already hard. She wasn't sure if he was ready yet though.

Logan grabbed the condom back from her and tossed it on the bed behind him. "I know you don't want to waste time," he said, "but I'm not ready quite yet and neither are you."

He moved to kiss her again and let one of his hands glide over her body. When he got to her center he slid his middle finger between her folds. He could feel her wetness and it made him groan into her mouth.

Logan removed his finger and began to move down the bed again. "What are you doing?" Veronica asked.

"Remember when we watched American Pie," Logan said. Veronica nodded, remembering the scene when Kevin went down on Vicky. "I told you I was going to do that to you," Logan said smirking up at her before he moved to lick her.

She moaned out in pleasure. She never knew having someone lick you down there could feel so amazing. She knew those actors in American Pie weren't really doing the actions, but after feeling Logan going down on her she had to admit those actors had done a great job pretending.

When Logan's tongue licked her clit she bucked her hips up causing his nose to hit her pubic bone.

"Ow," Logan said, moving away from her and holding his nose.

"Oh my God," Veronica shrieked. "Are you ok?"

"I think so," Logan said moving his hand away. "It's not bleeding, but it sure as hell hurts."

Veronica couldn't believe she'd hurt him. He was the one who'd been so worried about hurting her during sex.

"Do you want me to finish?" Logan asked a minute later after his nose stopped hurting.

"I don't want to hurt you again," Veronica told him, a sad tone to her voice.

"I'll put my hands on your hips to keep that from happening again," he told her.

Veronica agreed to let him finish, but she tensed up when he started licking her again.

"Relax," Logan told her. "I've got you. You're not gonna hurt me again," he assured her. Hearing him say that finally allowed her to stop being so tense. She let her muscles relax and took in everything that Logan was making her feel.

He really had to hold her hips down against the bed when he licked her clit. She was writhing on the bed from the sensation he was causing. Veronica couldn't believe how electrified she felt. His tongue on her felt way better than his finger had and it was bringing her closer to the edge faster.

A few minutes later she was moaning out his name. "Logan, oh my god," she moaned out, "I'm coming." She reached down and ran her fingers through his hair, grasping it as the orgasm ripped through her body.

Logan continued to lap at the juices now flowing from her, slowly bringing her down from the intensity of the orgasm she'd just had.

"I take it you enjoyed that," Logan said after wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He moved back up the bed to lay next to her.

"Oh God yes," she said and then leaned over to kiss him. She tasted herself on him and it turned her on even more.

She pulled back and looked him in the eyes. "Do you want me to give you a blowjob?" she asked.

"As good as that sounds," he said, "if you do I don't think we'll be able to have sex. I'm not sure how long it would take to recover and I'm already pretty hard."

"Ok," Veronica said. "I'll make it up to you another time then."

"Sounds good to me," Logan said smiling at her.

They were kissing again and Logan pulled back. "I'm gonna go grab a towel," he said moving away from Veronica and off the bed.

He returned a few seconds later and handed the towel to her. She lifted her lower half and situated the towel. Logan moved back on the bed and grabbed the condom. He positioned himself between Veronica's thighs and ripped the condom wrapper open. He reached down and slid the condom over his erection. He looked up at Veronica to make sure she really wanted to go through with this.

"You ready?" he asked.

She smiled and nodded her head, telling him it was what she wanted.

He moved closer to her opening and placed the tip of his cock there. Both of them knew it was going to hurt her and Logan hated that. He wasn't sure how fast to push in or how hard. He'd never done this before and the term "nervous as a virgin" very much described his emotional state at the moment.

"Relax Logan," Veronica told him. He looked down at her and could see the love in her eyes. He couldn't believe how calm she was right now. This was a very big step for both of them.

He took a deep breath and started pushing into her. He could feel her tight walls around him and it almost made him come. He felt Veronica tense so he stopped. He looked at her and saw that she had her eyes closed.

"Are you ok?" Logan asked her.

"Yeah," she said opening her eyes. "It hurts a little, but we both knew that would happen."

"Do you want to stop?" he asked.

"No," she said looking him in the eyes.

He knew she was being honest, so he began to push a little further into her. He got to a point where there was major resistance and stopped. He realized that this must be the part that Lilly had told her about.

"Veronica," he said looking at her again. She looked up at him with her big blue eyes. "I'm not sure I can do this." He could see the tears forming in her eyes.

"I want you to," Veronica said, trying to hold back the tears.

Logan leaned down to kiss her. If she really wanted to go through with this, then he needed to distract her. He continued kissing her as he pushed against the barrier. He felt her tense as he pushed and the tears continued to fall. Finally he pushed hard enough and the barrier stretched enough for him to get past it. Veronica screamed into his mouth when that happened.

"I'm so sorry," Logan said after he pulled back to look at her. He stayed inside of her, not moving. He hated that she was in pain and he couldn't bring himself to move. He was sure it would just hurt her more.

"Logan," she managed to get out through her tears, "you need to move. Lilly said it gets better after you start moving."

Logan leaned down and kissed her again before slowly moving out of her. He could tell she was still hurting but she didn't want him to know. She wanted to keep going, so he obliged.

A couple minutes later Logan found that it was easier to slide in and out of her. She was moaning out in pleasure, not pain, and that spurred Logan on. He continued to thrust in and out of her, amazed at the feeling of her surrounding him. He was getting closer to coming and he became very vocal about it.

A few thrusts later he came and stilled himself inside her. He waited until he'd stopped shaking from the orgasm before pulling out. He wasn't exactly sure what to do next. Things were a mess down there between them. He slipped the condom off and come got come on the towel, mixing with the blood that had been on the outside of the condom and that had seeped out while they had sex.

Logan grabbed the condom and moved to get off the bed. He went into the bathroom to throw it away and clean himself up. He grabbed a washcloth and wet it with warm water to bring back for Veronica. He handed it to her when he got back to the bed. She cleaned herself off and then Logan brought the washcloth and towel they'd used back to the bathroom.

Veronica was laying on the bed with her eyes closed when he returned. Logan moved to lay next to her. "Do you regret it?" Logan asked.

"No," Veronica said opening her eyes and rolling on her side to face him. "I wanted my first time to be with you. I'm not gonna lie and say that it didn't hurt because it really did hurt. But once the pain went away it started to feel good."

"I hated doing that to you," he said. "I hate that I had to hurt you to be able to have sex with you."

"It was inevitable," Veronica said. She looked past his shoulder and saw the time on the clock. It was well after ten and Veronica knew they needed to get dressed and head back downstairs.

Logan looked over his shoulder to see what she was looking at. "I guess we need to get dressed," Logan said.

"Yeah," Veronica said moving to sit up.

"I love you," Logan said, moving to kiss her.

"I love you too," Veronica said once the kiss ended. "Thank you for tonight."

"You're welcome," he said running his hand down her cheek.

They both moved to get up and get dressed. Veronica had taken her dress into the bathroom while Logan dressed in the bedroom.

"You about ready to head down?" Logan called out.

"Yeah," Veronica said returning to the bedroom. "Do I look any different to you?" she asked.

"A little," Logan said.

"Do you think everyone will be able to tell we had sex?" she asked.

"Probably," Logan said. "We look disheveled compared to what we looked like earlier tonight."

"I'm just glad I don't have to go home and face my parents," Veronica said. "I'm not sure I want my parents to know we had sex."

"Your dad would kill me if he found out about tonight," Logan said.

Veronica moved to slip her heels back on her feet. "Ok, I'm ready," she said.

Logan held his arm out for her and then they made their way to the door and out of the hotel room.

"I still can't believe you and Logan had sex!" Lilly said.

They were hanging out in Lilly's room. Lilly had invited her to spend the night because Logan had gone to Aspen with his parents for their Thanksgiving vacation.

Veronica had been moping around her house the first few days of their vacation. Lilly had tried to get her to go to Casey's party Saturday night but Veronica didn't want to go out since Logan wasn't going to be there.

"We haven't had a chance to do anything since that night," Veronica said. "I'm beginning to wonder if our parents figured out what we did at the hotel. They haven't left us alone much lately."

"I doubt it," Lilly said. "Unless…" she trailed off.

"Unless what?" Veronica asked.

"Did Logan use his credit card when he checked into the hotel room?" Lilly asked.

"I don't know," Veronica said. "I do know that Conner Larkin had to check in for him since Logan's underage."

"If Logan used his credit card the charge would show up on his parents' bill," Lilly said, "and they'd know they didn't stay at The Grand."

"Oh my God," Veronica said. She reached for her phone to call Logan.

"Did you charge the hotel on your credit card?" Veronica asked as soon as he answered.

"Well hello to you too darling," Logan joked.

"I'm being serious Logan," Veronica told him.

"Yeah, why?" Logan wanted to know.

"Do your parents check their bill? Because if they do, I know why we haven't been left alone for long periods of time since that night," she explained.

"Oh shit!" Logan exclaimed.

"Your parents haven't said anything to you about it?" Veronica asked.

"No, but they have no idea what happened in that room," Logan said. "For all they know we threw a party instead of going to the dance."

"I guess I should be thankful they haven't said anything to my parents," Veronica said.

"I'll ask them about it if you want," Logan said.

"No," Veronica said, "I don't want you to have to lie to them."

"Maybe if I talk to them they'll actually let us be alone for longer periods of time," Logan told her.

"Fine, if that's what you want to do," Veronica said. "How's Aspen?" she asked changing the subject.

"Lonely without you," he said sadly. "I miss you."

"I miss you too," Veronica said.

"Enough with the mushy love talk," Lilly said.

"I guess I better go," Veronica said.

"I take it Lilly's not in the mood to share you with me," Logan said.

"Nope," Veronica replied.

"I'll call you tomorrow afternoon," Logan told her before they said goodbye.
