Chapter 18

The last look Gideon gave her before she left the room to move her things made her think that their agreement was not as set in stone as it sounded.

That kiss lingered on her lips. She caught herself running her fingertips over her mouth. Her lips were swollen from a kiss! Faye poked her head into the bathroom on the way to the closet to see if they looked any different.

They did. They were plump and looked bigger than normal. All that from a kiss. She wouldn’t have told Gideon that it had stirred things in her that she never really bothered with. She wasn’t without sexual feelings. Her one and only boyfriend did not make the attempt of gaining another seem that appealing. Her last set of foster parents had drilled into her that touching yourself was a sin. So naturally as soon as she left, she wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Like most things in her life, she’d found a middle ground that kept her satisfied but never fulfilled. Gideon made her think beyond her normal humble thoughts. Now her thoughts were filled with heat and sex.

Leaving the bathroom, she returned to the closet before she embarrassed herself. Grabbing the clothes off the rod, she went to reach for the garment bag then changed her mind. Whatever was in there wasn’t for her. It was for someone like Sabrina. Someone that needed clothes that came in bags like that.

Walking down the hallway, she went to the only other door on the landing. Pushing it open, she found a room half the size of Gideon’s room. It had its own small bathroom that was nice and well appointed.

Gideon had stayed in his office giving her time to get settled. Faye didn’t understand how it was going to work. She felt like an interloper. As though at any moment someone was going to point at her and call her out as an imposter.

She wasn’t an imposter. She was just Faye. Gideon was the one complicating things.

Faye didn’t want to pursue her feelings about him. Denying that any existed was the safest course of action. She needed to keep her head on straight and understand that Gideon could find his mate tomorrow, or the next day, or in a month. A kiss didn’t mean anything between them. It was just fun. A way to pass the time.

Not knowing if she was okay with that, having never been in that situation, she decided to keep her cards held close. Protect her heart. Remind herself that there was never a chance that she and Gideon could be anything more than casual friends.

Gideon could lose interest in her as a distraction at any point too. It didn’t mean she had to become invested. So she wouldn’t. She’d wait for something more interesting to distract the reporters and she would go back to her life.

Her conversation with Gideon had worn her out. She retrieved her medicine that was down in the living room.
