I rarely went more than a couple of hours without thinking of him. We both had hang- ups, insecurities, and an addiction to each other that required regular contact to keep us functioning properly. Most couples didn't spend every free moment together, but we weren't like most people. I felt a sharp twinge in my belly at hearing we'd be apart that long. 'I won't be back until Sunday night, Eva.'

'You're going to take care of business and I'm going to take care of my best friend, then we'll go back to taking care of each other.' When he chose to, Gideon could make me feel his demands.Īnd it was very, very difficult to ignore the part of me that begged to give him whatever he wanted. I put the carton back in the fridge and absorbed the sensation of being drawn to him inexorably by the force of his will. The multibody tangle I'd found in my living room gave new meaning to the word clusterfuck. You know I can't leave Cary after what happened last night.' 'Are we going to argue?' 'Are you going to be difficult? We talked about this. 'To do what? Lie around naked, waiting for you to finish work and fuck me?' His gaze held mine as he collected his mug and sipped his steaming coffee with too-calm deliberation. Gideon dropped his phone in the inner pocket of his jacket, then hung the garment off the back of one of the bar stools at the island.Įxhaling in a rush, I added half- and-half to my coffee. 'I need to knock heads with Cary this weekend.' I faced him and reminded him of my roommate issue. I put another portable mug under the spout for him before I went to the fridge for some half-and-half. Gideon joined me with his jacket draped over one arm and his cell phone in his hand.

When I reached the kitchen, I wasted no time in shoving a travel mug under the one-cup coffeemaker. I passed through Gideon's spacious apartment with its stunning prewar architecture and slender arched windows, my heels alternately clicking over gleaming hardwood and muffled by Aubusson rugs.ĭecorated in dark woods and neutral fabrics, the luxurious space was brightened by jeweled accents.Īs much as his place screamed money, it managed to remain warm and welcoming, a comfortable place to relax and feel pampered.

Instead of risking my shot at coffee, I postponed arguing and continued on to the kitchen. 'Arizona is where your business is?' 'Unfortunately.'
