He was honest.
“I don’t want you to think I’d ever be like your ex. I don’t hurt women.”
No.
They hurt him.
With Gentle fingers, he enjoyed the way her skin felt beneath his hand.
As for Gabby, the kiss of his fingers on her flesh was feather light, and she got goosebumps.
Her reaction overwhelmed him.
If he wasn’t mistaken, Gabby was enjoying his touch. In that moment, he knew he was screwed.
He was falling in love.
Hopelessly.
“I like your ink. I think I’ll enjoy getting a memento piece done with you.”
She smiled.
“You can shower now,” she said. “I’m sure Graham is worried about us, and shortly, Tony will be all over me.”
That last part didn’t sit well with him. Now, that proprietary feeling came over him, and Finn was willing to fight for her.
No offense to the man, but she was meant to be his. There was no doubt in his mind.
Needing that shower desperately, he waited until she moved around the corner before he dropped his pants and stepped into the spray.
The colder water wasn’t working. His erection was still there, and he was focused on her scent.
As for Gabby, she noticed that from where she was standing, the mirror gave away the person in the shower.
Oh, well, she’d return the favor.
If he’d watched her, she’d watch him. In fact, the mere idea that he’d likely checked her out didn’t upset her.
Oh, anything but.
It turned her on.
Because he had to know, he went there.
“What’s the deal between you two?” he asked. “You and the other man.”
She laughed as he washed up in the shower, and the whole time, she was staring at his hands.
God.
She wanted them on her.
“We’re just friends. He’s like a big brother to me, and nothing more. In fact, Tony loves everyone. He told me I should have fun while I’m here.”
His hands paused as he was rubbing soap on his chest. Did she just say…?
Dear God, his body ached.
