anchoring her to him, effectively keeping her in place, forcing her to submit. It was as Gideon reached between their bodies and caressed her clit with one talented finger, stroking her wet heat that she came undone.
    Lori’s eyes widened in surprise, and she shouted out his name as an explosive climax rushed over her. That was all it took. He drove into her fast and hard, pumping like a man gone mad. Then he joined her, pouring every ounce of his seed inside of her tight sheath.
    They lay sweating and exhausted with Gideon still inside of her for several minutes before he finally left the bed and went to the bathroom. That’s when she noticed a four inch long scar running down his right shoulder blade.
    “What happened to your back?” she asked as he reentered the bedroom.
    “An accident when I was a kid.”
    “It looks painful.”
    He lay down on top of her. “Not anymore”
    She started to ask for details, but he spoke over her. “Why did you push me?”
    “What?”
    “Don’t play coy. I wanted to make love, slowly, but you didn’t. Why?”
    “Because you were deliberately holding back and I didn’t want that.”
    “I wanted to pleasure you. Hell, you deserve to be pleasured.”
    “It was pleasurable.” He frowned. “I may be shy, but I know what I want, Gideon, and I didn’t want sweet.”
    “You wanted rough.”
    He wasn’t asking, but she answered anyway. “Yes.”
    He slipped down her body and kissed her belly. Her body was so attuned to his 23
     
    touch; she came alive in an instant. As he made his way between her legs, she stiffened.
    “What are you doing?”
    “You got what you wanted. Now, give me what I want.”
    He pushed her legs wide and stroked a finger over her labia.
    “Gideon!”
    “Hush, baby. It’s time for me to play.” As he slipped his tongue inside her body, she gave in and let him have his way.
    She’d never once had multiple orgasms. She’d figured she wasn’t capable.
    Apparently she’d been wrong. Who knew?
    She had to hang on to him for support when his mouth leisurely licked up and down between her swollen folds.
    “Gideon,” she pleaded, unsure what he expected of her. When he hummed against her wet clit, wrapped his arms around her hips, and clutched her bottom, she melted.
    She tried to wriggle free, aching to open her thighs for him, to give him better access, but he held firm. Sinking his tongue in, he laved at her, restless, as if starved for her flavor.
    Tremors built inside her core when his talented mouth found her clitoris. He suckled the little bud. Lori came undone. She clutched at the sheets and held tight as she rode out another wild climax.
    After she settled down, her legs weak, Gideon shifted his body so he lay next to her.
    He pulled her in tight. She felt cherished and protected. It’d never been that way with Rick. Usually she felt like crying. Sad because once again she’d let him down. Everything about Gideon was different.
    “I love the way you shout out your pleasure.” He cupped her chin and turned her toward him for a kiss. His tongue plunged deep inside her mouth, tongues touching, teasing. She tasted herself on his lips, and it made her crazy for more.
    He lifted an inch and said, “I’ve never seen another woman let herself go the way you do. It’s fucking beautiful.”
    Her cheeks heated. She shouldn’t be shy, her mind knew that, but for some inexplicable reason she couldn’t talk about sex quite as casually. Maybe it was the difference between men and women. She suspected it was the difference between a man used to having a casual fling and a woman who wasn’t capable of equating sex with anyone she hadn’t already handed her heart to. She didn’t want to think of all that now.
    She wanted to enjoy the moment. After all, wasn’t that the purpose of being spontaneous?
    Determined not to punish herself for feeling pleasure, Lori turned away, pleased when Gideon wrapped one arm around her middle and pulled her in close
