"Damn you're good"

"Damn you're good." Gabby admitted, prompting a smile and another short kiss that made her flush with embarrassment, as it wasn't part of their conversation about pulling the wool over Nathan's eyes.

"Thank you. I just want to give you what you need, what Nathan wouldn't."

"What?"

"Tenderness. Affection." Wendy pulled her close, hugging her and giving her another kiss. "Love."

She had not expected that word. Nathan had never even said it to her, not even in the way her boyfriend before him had occasionally said "I love it when you do that" or "I love your sexy little ass." To hear that this woman who she had just met talk about it was the most embarrassing thing she had experienced yet, and she thought she'd be less shocked if "what she needs" had been three orgasms a day. She felt like her heart must be beating so hard that Dr. Vierre could feel it through her chest, she had to think about something else, change the topic.
