A Mate for Gideon(28)

“I am curious. Let’s just say that you and I were dating, when would I be allowed to touch you? I’m not talking about my mouth on you but there are other ways to make a female come.”

A lump lodged itself in her throat, making it hard to breathe or even to think. She grabbed a glass of juice and drank it down. Gideon kept his dark eyes firmly on her the entire time. He was obviously being hypothetical. He didn’t really want to actually date her. A guy…vampire like him was way out of her league. “No kissing until the second date.”

“By kissing, you mean mating of the mouths?” He raised a brow.

“Yes…vampires kiss don’t they?”

He nodded, throwing her a quick half smile. “Some of the females enjoy it.”

“But you don’t like kissing?” she asked. Not sure why it was important to even know. It wasn’t like they were about to go on a date or anything anyway.

He shrugged his big shoulders. “I don’t mind kissing I just don’t really see the point. What is acceptable on the third date?”

“On the third and fourth dates, I would allow a little touching.”

His eyes seemed to heat and drop back to her thighs.

“Above the belt only.” She quickly blurted.

“You would let me touch your magnificent mammary glands?” His voice had taken on a gravelly edge again.

She had to giggle at his use of the words mammary glands. “I might.”

He licked his lips. “You would. I can be very persuasive.” A deep growl that sent shivers through her. Good thing they weren’t about to go on any dates because he was probably right. “I can’t wait to hear of what is permitted on date five.”

She felt herself blush and shook her head. “Urm…a little more touching.” She looked down at the food, unable to keep her eyes on his.

“Date five.” His gravelly voice came from right next to her. Gideon was on his haunches. “Would a male be permitted to make you come? To ease you? You would be surprised what I could do with just my hands.”

I’ll bet.

Jenna sucked in a ragged breath. “You’re very forward.” She squirmed a little, feeling more turned on than ever before. As in ever.

“I like to think of myself as being honest and open. Sex is something that vampires talk about freely. Do not be shy, Jenna. Would a male be permitted to make you come by the fifth date?”

“Maybe…probably n-not…I don’t know.” This was hypothetical so she forced herself to relax. It didn’t work. “Maybe…I g-guess. Not with your mouth though.” She was stammering and stuttering feeling hot and bothered. Which led her to put a hand on her cheek, sure enough, her skin felt fevered.

“I’ll take that as a yes.” A rough growl that had her heart hammering. “Eat.” He growled again. Gideon stood and walked towards the bathroom. “I’m going to shower.”

She could feel herself frown. “Why are you going to shower again?”

“I need to take care of this.” He looked down at his still erect cock.

“Oh… I see.” Her mouth felt dry. She’d never met anyone more forward in her whole life. The thought of this very sexy vampire touching himself in the shower almost made her throw her eight date rule out the window.

He smiled. “Finish your breakfast. You can shower once you are done and I’ll go and fetch our clothes. We need to hurry though.” He glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table.

“Okay.” How silly of her, he obviously had stuff to do. It made her feel a little put out. For a second there, she was sure he was genuinely interested in her. Clearly she had read him wrong. Not all guys would be willing to date a woman first. Most of them wanted a home run on the first date.

His eyes narrowed in on her. Dark and intense. Something flared to life inside of her. It was more than just arousal. Damn but he could be dangerous to her heart. Good thing he wasn’t interested in her.

“We need to leave within the next half hour.” His eyes darkened. “I’m taking you out on a date.”

She dropped her fork onto the plate with a loud, clang. “A what? Sorry?” She must’ve heard him wrong or something.

“We will consider it our second date.” He grinned at her. “If we go out on back to back dates, we should hit number five in a day or two. I’m looking forward to feeling you clench around my fingers as you come…hard.”

Fingers.

More than one.

Inside her.

She made a squeaking noise as all the air seemed to leave her lungs, make that the whole damned room.

“More than that, I’m looking forward to getting to know you.” On a devastating half smile that had her insides turning to Jell-O, he turned and headed for the bathroom.
