She froze in the doorway of the diningroom. Instant red hot anger flooded through her body as she watched Cheri whowas standing too close to Gideon, suddenly rise to her tiptoes and press a kissagainst his mouth.

“Sorry to interrupt,” Grace said as Gideonpushed away from Cheri. “I forgot my phone.”

She stalked across the room, snatched upher phone, and stomped toward the door.

“Grace, wait,” Gideon said.

She flipped him the bird behind her back,not caring how childish it made her look. She could hear him behind her and,anger still roaring through her veins like an inferno, she quickly ducked intothe half-bath. Before she could close the door, Gideon’s hand caught it and hemuscled it open.

“Get out of here!” she said.

He squeezed into the room and shut thedoor, locking it behind him and blocking it with his body.

“Out of my way, you dick!” She tried topush past him, grimacing at him when he leaned against the door.

“Let me explain, Grace.”

“There’s nothing to explain. I came backfor my phone, you had your tongue down that fruit tart’s throat… what’s thereto explain?”

“Fruit tart?” A grin crossed Gideon’s faceand Grace glared at him.

“Nothing about this is funny, Gideon. Moveso I can go home.”

“Not until I explain,” he said.

“I told you, there isn’t -”

“She kissed me. I didn’t want her to. Shewas the one who stuck her tongue down my throat, and I pushed her away. You sawit happen, Grace. You saw me push her away.”

“Whatever. I don’t care if you date her ornot. Do whatever the hell you want.”

“You’re jealous,” Gideon said.

“I am not jealous!” She put her hands onher hips and fumed when his gaze dropped to her tits. “Stop staring at my tits.”

“You wore that shirt tonight so I wouldstare at your tits,” he said.

“I wore this shirt because it brings outthe colour of my eyes,” she said haughtily.

He laughed, a low sound that made her pussysit up and take notice. “You shouldn’t lie to me, Gracie. Lying gets you a spanking.”

Every muscle in her lower belly tightenedwith a spasm of pleasure so big it was almost painful. She took a step back,her body bumping up against the wall. “I… stop that, Gideon.”

“Stop what?” He took a step toward her, analmost feral look of need on his face.

“Stop saying you’ll spank me.”

“Why? It’s true. If you keep lying to me,I’ll take you home, put you over my knee, and spank you.”

“You-you wouldn’t dare,” she breathed.

His grin widened. “You know I would.”

He closed the short distance between them likea big cat stalking its prey. He penned her in, his hands braced on the wall oneither side of her head, his chest brushing against her breasts.

“Gideon, what are you doing?”

He bent his head and tasted the skin on herthroat. “I like that you’re jealous, Gracie.”
