Chapter 39

Gideon caught his eye, and he didn’t have to say a word for Jesse to know exactly what he was thinking. I told you so.His fingers went to her other nipple, and this time, Jesse thought he could feel it, too.

“Oh, Emma…I love you.”

“Emma and I had a long talk.” As Gideon smoothed a palm down over her stomach, his other hand moved behind her to unclasp her bra. The white satin fell free, baring her full breasts. “Since you two weren’t doing it, somebody had to.” His mouth came down to her ear, though his low voice was still low enough for Jesse to hear clearly. “We learned a lot about each other, didn’t we?”

Emma nodded. If the way she licked her lips while she did so was any indication, her throat was as dry as Jesse’s.
