“Eva: there's so much out there for you. You just don't know it yet.gideon: I don't need anything else. I get out of bed every morning and face the world because you're in it. Because of you, the world makes sense to me in a way it didn't before. I have a place now. WITH YOU”

“I don't need anything else. I get out of bed every morning and face the world because you're in it.”

“Because of you, the world makes sense to me in a way it didn't before. I have a place now, with you.”

“Are you sleeping with anyone?" ....... "Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what's standing in my way, if anything.”

“..then he pushed the call button again and asked, "Are you sleeping with anyone?""Why is that any business of yours?""Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what's standing in my way, if anything.”

“Are you sleeping with anyone?” The question was asked so casually it took a second to process what he’d said. I inhaled sharply. “Why is that any business of yours?” He looked at me and I saw what I’d seen the first time we’d met—tremendous power and steely control. Both of which had me taking an involuntary step back. Again. At least I didn’t fall this time; I was making progress. “Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what’s standing in my way, if anything.”

“I've told you before,” he said huskily. “I'll take you however I can get you.”“Whatever. Don't think I don't know you're topping from the bottom.”His mouth curved with unapologetic amusement.”
