Gideon could almost see the gears turning in Shannon’s brain. She wanted to know when. He didn’t want to tell her, and that thought gave him pause. Gideon had never hidden any part of himself from a woman before. He’d never gotten close enough to one to even have to. Shannon was throwing him off his game. “I didn’t know who she was, though apparently she couldn’t say the same thing.”

Shannon had stepped away from him. The loss of her body so close to his made him feel cold.

“This happened a long time ago, then.”

Gideon stamped down the chagrin … or maybe it was embarrassment he was feeling. He couldn’t tell which; he wasn’t used to feeling either. He shook his head. “No.”

“No?” Shannon raised her eyebrows and stared at him as she gathered her bag and slid it over her wrist. He watched as realization hit her. “You can’t be serious, Gideon.”

He took a step toward her. She lifted her hand to stop him. She might as well have slapped him. “No. I can’t believe you. I’m going to get us some lunch. Try to keep your dick in your pants while I’m gone.”

“Shannon …” He tried to turn on his puppy dog eyes for her, to beg her to stop and listen, to let him explain. She ignored all of it. He snapped in desperation. “We aren’t together. We have no commitment to each other. I can do whomever I want.”

Shannon froze just as she was rounding the table to leave. His words had grabbed her. He’d known she’d been catching feelings for him, but he’d tried to leave her alone thinking that she’d eventually lose interest, or at the very least find someone else to transfer the feelings to. Gideon was good for that. He was the best wing man a guy could ask for. Most of the females he’d been with, especially in recent years, seemed to end up in long-term committed relationships shortly after he’d finished with them. Shannon would probably be the same. There was only one noticeable difference between the situation with Shannon and the rest of the women. Any time Gideon thought of her with someone else his gut swirled in a way that made him want to put his fist through a wall.

Shannon rounded on Gideon with fire in her eyes. This time she’d gotten so close to him that her body was fully pressed against his. He could feel the pressure against his chest every time her chest rose with her breath. He could feel her warmth through his entire body. “Listen here, you selfish fuck. I do not care in the slightest who you are sticking your cock in, except for when it becomes a detriment to this company. I know you built it. I know that Aaron and Seth and you are the best of buddies, and I know you love this company almost as much as you love yourself. But there are other people that care about it too.
