A Mate for Gideon(57)

“It’s not. It’s doing whatever it takes to survive…to be together. You do want us to be together don’t you?” Jenna felt her eyes sting. She could only pray that he wanted this bad enough.

Gideon cupped both her cheeks, running a thumb down her jaw. “Of course I do. Don’t ever doubt that.”

“Good,” she sighed the word. “We can leave…go far away, no one will ever find us. We’ll be fine because we’ll have each other.”

Gideon nodded. “I hope it doesn’t come to that but if it does, then I’m ready.”

He brushed his lips against hers, quickly deepening the kiss. She fisted his shirt, pulling him closer. Her whimper was swallowed by his demanding mouth. All too soon, he pulled away. “You’d better get back. I’m sure that by now, dessert is being served. You will be missed.”

Jenna snorted. “Yeah right. The women are trying so desperately to get noticed by one of the guys and the guys are so busy ogling the women. It’s a circus. I’m surprised there haven’t been any catfights yet.”

“We don’t have any cats on the property, at least, not that I’m aware of.” He frowned, looking utterly adorable.

“By cat fights, I mean fights between the women. They call them that because they tend to use teeth and nails. It’s a human saying.”

“I wouldn’t mind seeing such a fight.” Gideon grinned.

“Let me guess, you would ideally want the women naked?” Jenna had to roll her eyes. Men were all the same.

He frowned again. “Why would I want them naked?…No…I would be interested to see if human females have any skills and whether the strongest female ended up winning or a female that was more agile and fast. It would be fun.” Then he looked worried. “Please don’t think of taking part if any such cat fight were to happen.”

Jenna had to laugh. She tried to do it quietly. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

“Good.” He growled, his chest rumbled. “I don’t want to see you hurt.” He kissed her. Soft and sweet. It all but took her breath away. “I would have to kill if that ever happened.”

A few minutes later she slipped from the closet, smoothing her dress before taking a slow walk back to the elaborate dinner table. She couldn’t help but to think back on those first two days with Gideon.

Two days.

They somehow managed to cram all the dates into one weekend, becoming more and more desperate for one another as time went by.

She smiled, pausing to look out a nearby window. A full moon hung in the sky, just like that night.

They were both crazy with need by then. Especially considering Jenna had not let him touch her. Aside from some dry humping and the odd brush of his fingers through her clothing. Thing was, she was too afraid of letting him lay, so much as, a finger on her. As it stood, she was barely hanging onto what was left of her willpower. If he so much as tweaked her nipples or rubbed on her clit, she would beg him to take her.

Beg.

As in, all out and on her knees. The image of being on her knees in front of him made her groan. Inside her own head of course. Of having his thick cock in her mouth, of sucking on his head. It made her moan even louder. This time out loud for real.

Oops!

“What is it?” Gideon’s voice was so deep, so raw. It sent shivers up and down her spine.

Their hands were clasped tightly as they walked. Yes, their date was a midnight walk in the gardens at Gideon’s hotel. Not really much of a date. Especially since neither of them were very interested in their surroundings. They were walking quickly. Jenna almost had to jog to keep up with Gideon’s long stride.

“Um…nothing really…just…” She let the sentence hang.

“Just what?” He threw her a toothy grin.

“Just thinking about what I want to do to you when we get back to your room.”

His breathing became a little labored. “What do you want to do to me?” He almost sounded angry. His eyes blazed and his jaw was tense.

She could feel her cheeks heat.

Gideon squeezed her hand. “Is it dirty?”

Jenna pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and bit down. She nodded. “Very.”

His eyes drifted shut and he moaned. “You have to tell me.”

“I…um…”

His throat worked and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. His eyes stayed on her. So dark, so intense.

“I was just thinking that I would really like to give you a blowjob.”

Gideon frowned. His eyebrows practically fused. A deep vee formed between his eyes.

“Maybe you vampires have a different word for it. I want to ease you”—she paused—“with my mouth.”
