I need you, too.

Everly knew they were only words he’d uttered in the aftermath of passion, but everything feminine inside her responded.

As they’d made their way out of the tunnel following their escape from Mad’s house, Gabriel had gripped her hand, leading the way to safety. They’d had to wend through dank, dark tunnels with only one light to make their way through the gloom. Everly had never once worried he would leave her behind.

At Connor’s penthouse, she’d climbed into the shower, trying to hold herself together—not to crave his nearness and protection so much—but she’d been shaking. Every time she’d closed her eyes, she could still feel the flames licking around the room, threatening to consume them. The realization that they had almost died hit her. Then Gabriel had come to her, touched her, wiped all that away with his furious possession. He’d proven why she needed him.

After their hurried coupling, he’d washed her from head to toe, his hands sliding across her skin with tender care. Her adrenaline had finally crashed. And Gabriel had held her while she’d cried. He hadn’t spoken, merely let his touch echo his earlier words.

He paused at her breasts and the juncture of her thighs. That intent gaze should have rattled her, but his blue eyes held such warmth that she couldn’t be anxious, much less gather the will to cover herself. What, exactly, did he see in her? When he looked at her like that, she felt beautiful.

“God, do you have any idea what you do to me, Everly?” His voice sounded thick, raspy.

She had an idea, since his erection stood thick and tall again. No escaping the fact that he aroused her unbearably. A little smile flitted across her lips.

“Of course you do.” He grinned ruefully in return. “Damn, you have the most beautiful breasts I’ve ever seen. Tomorrow morning, call Hilary and tell her to let everyone know that you’re taking the rest of the week off.”

She blushed at the compliment, then realized what the sneaky bastard had done. “I have to go to work, Gabriel. With Mulford on vacation, I’m in charge of all of security. And I’m the executive on duty since Tavia is probably
