“I know the way to your heart is with food.”
    I slid onto a bar stool just like the ones in my apartment, touched by his unique way of making me feel at home. “The way to my heart? Or into my pants?”
    He smiled as he poured a glass of red wine from a bottle he’d previously opened to let breathe. “You’re not wearing pants.”
    “Not wearing any panties, either.”
    “Careful, Eva.” Gideon shot me a stern look. “Or you’ll derail my attempt to seduce you properly before I ride you on every flat surface in this apartment.”
    My mouth went dry. The look in his eyes when he brought my glass over made me feel flushed and light-headed.
    “Before you,” he murmured, with his lips to the edge of his glass, “I stroked off every time I took a shower. It was as much a part of my ritual as washing my hair.”
    That
I believed. Gideon was a very sexual man. When we were together, he’d fuck me before bed, first thing in the morning, and sometimes fit in a quickie during the course of the day.
    “Since you, only once,” he continued. “You were there with me.”
    I paused with my glass halfway to my mouth. “Really?”
    “Really.”
    I took a drink, gathering my thoughts. “Why did you stop? The last few weeks … We went a long time without.”
    A ghost of a smile curved his lips. “I don’t have a drop to waste if I’m going to keep up with you.”
    I set the wineglass down and pushed at his shoulder. “You’re always making me sound like a nymphomaniac!”
    “You like sex, angel,” he purred. “Nothing wrong with that. You’re greedy and insatiable, and I love it. I love knowing that once I get inside you, you’re going to suck me dry. Then you’ll want to do it again.”
    Ifelt my face heat. “For your information, I didn’t get off even once while we were apart. Never even got the urge because we weren’t together.”
    He leaned into the counter, resting one elbow on the cool black granite. “Hmm.”
    “I like fucking you because you’re
you
, not because I’m a cock-hungry slut. If you don’t like it, grow a gut or stop showering or
something
.” I slid off the stool. “Or just say no, Gideon.”
    I marched into the living room, trying to get away from the unsettled feeling I’d had all day.
    Gideon’s arms came around me from behind, halting me midstep. “Stop,” he said, with the familiar authoritative bite that always turned me on.
    I tried to squirm free.
    “Now, Eva.”
    I gave up, my hands falling to my sides to clench my dress.
    “Explain what the fuck just happened,” he said calmly.
    My head bowed and I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t know what to say. A moment of silence later, he moved, swinging me up into the cradle of his arms and carrying me to the couch. He sat and arranged me on his lap. I snuggled into him.
    His chin came to rest on the crown of my head. “You want to pick a fight, angel?”
    “No,” I mumbled.
    “Good. Me neither.” His hands stroked up and down my back. “So let’s talk instead.”
    I pressed my nose into his throat. “I love you.”
    “I know.” He tilted his head back, giving me room to nestle.
    “I’m not a sex addict.”
    “I don’t see why it’d be a problem if you were. God knows making love with you is my favorite thing to do. In fact, if you ever wanted meto take care of you more often, I’d go so far as to schedule sex with you into my day.”
    “Oh my God!” I nipped him with my teeth, and he laughed softly.
    Gideon wrapped my hair around his fist and tugged my head back. His gaze on my face was soft and serious. “You’re not upset about our incredible sex life. It’s something else.”
    Sighing, I admitted, “I don’t know what it is. I’m just …
off
.”
    Adjusting me in his lap, Gideon snuggled me closer, pulling me into his warmth. We fit so perfectly together, my curves aligning with his sculpted lines. “Do you like the apartment?”
    “I love it.”
    “Good.” His voice was laced
