Chapter 73
“This isn’t about helping, Gideon.” Her own voice was low. “You’re not the only one willing to do whateverit takes to find Jesse. I’ll strip the skin from the son of a bitch myself, if that’s what I need to do.”
His gaze fixed on her, heavy and solemn, as he weighed her words. Finally, he nodded and let go her arm. “Do me one favor, though. Put your walls up.”
Gideon didn’t have to specify that request. She had absolutely no intention of leaving herself vulnerable to the vampire’s pain—and whatever emotions would be coming from Gideon.
“Of course. Anything else?”
He looked like there was plenty more he wanted to say, but Gideon just shook his head and walked back to their so-called guest, standing in front of him with his hands stuffed in his pockets.
