“ No,” he said tensely.
“No.”
And odd thought dawned on me. “You
mean, you’re a virgin?”
Gideon breathed deeply several times,
still facing away. “Technically. I told you Acie. It’s different
for us.”
I pulled my dress back up and looked
around for my panties. “Great. Now I feel like a slut.”
Gideon looked at me curiously. “Have
you had a lot of lovers?”
I laughed without humor. “I’ve been
screwed a lot. Not quite the same thing, I guess.” I swallowed. “I
was fourteen my first time.”
Gideon issued a low whistle. I crossed
my arms over my body, feeling filthy. He approached me slowly,
running the back of his hand over my cheek. “I wouldn’t expect it
to be the same for you.” His forehead touched mine and he let out a
shaky breath. “I just want you so much. Always have.”
I backed away. “But you don’t want me
for a mate. You just want me for a few minutes.”
Gideon winced. “You don’t even
understand what it all means yet. And by the way, you still happen
to have the instincts of a hunter.” He looked away darkly. “Plus
there’s Michael.”
“ Yeah, your sheriff pulled
me over last night.” I ignored the honest surprise in Gideon’s
face. “He molested me and then bared his teeth.” I brushed off my
dress, gathering my bow and quiver and holding back tears. “Good
luck finding your forever mate.” I moved quickly through the woods,
back the way I came, half wanting Gideon to stop me. He
didn’t.
Chapter Seven
I slammed the door to the house behind
me and tore my dress off. My underwear was still in the woods,
wherever it had been flung in the heat of passion. I shook my head
ruefully. Unfulfilled passion, I corrected myself. I grabbed a box
of powdered laundry soap from under the sink and gathered all my
dirty clothes in my arms.
In the bathroom, I sat naked on the
edge of the top and ran scalding hot water, dumping in a careless
amount of soap and my entire scant wardrobe. Tears dripped from my
face and I fought the lingering sensation of Gideon’s hands on my
body. When the tub was full I plunged both arms in to the sudsy
water, wanting the water to burn away the pain. I yelped a few
seconds later and withdrew my red arms. Miserably, I sank beside
the tub, staring down at my breasts. The nipples were swollen from
Gideon’s ardent attention. I sat there for a long time. After a
while my ears began to ring from the deafening silence. I fished a
bath towel out of the cabinet and wrapped it tightly around my
body. The water had cooled enough for me to begin
scrubbing.
It took an interminable length of time
but eventually I was satisfied that everything was clean. I hung
each piece carefully on the shower rod. I stared at the dripping
laundry for a few minutes, willing my mind to be blank. Gideon and
I were done. What happened that morning might have been just and
unavoidable conclusion of our tumultuous relationship. Tomorrow I
would start working at Max’s shop and I would see about other
unfinished business, such as completing high school.
It would be many hours until anything
was dry enough to wear, which meant I would be confined to the
house in a bath towel. That was fine with me. There wasn’t anyone
in the world I was in the mood to deal with.
I wondered if Max had left
my books untouched. My small childhood library had been kept on the
bottom shelf of my bedroom’s narrow closet. I smiled when I opened
the door and saw them precisely where I had carelessly abandoned
them. I picked up the hardcover copy of Pride and Prejudice . Jane Austen had
always been a favorite. Everything was neat and orderly in the
world she inhabited. It was enough to be jealous of.
I carried the book into the kitchen
where I cut up some fresh fruit and sat down at the table. Morning
melted into afternoon as I gratefully lost myself in the realm of
Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.
Max called once to check on me. His
voice was strained and he kept his replies
“ No,” he said tensely.
“No.”
And odd thought dawned on me. “You
mean, you’re a virgin?”
Gideon breathed deeply several times,
still facing away. “Technically. I told you Acie. It’s different
