I'm not sure but I think that when the police put people under surveillance that doesn't necessarily mean that they are watched 24/7.  In this case it sounds like a group of people are watched.  My guess is they spent most of their time watching the "top" guy and that is how they caught the murder.  I think the guy the bracelet was found on was a "small fish" member.

I agree. From reading a lot of espionage books, to have 24 hr surveillance you need a whole team per person.

Entwined In You

Wow!! Great job - so helpful for going back and checking theories. Would you mind going ahead and doing one for Book 4? I'm dying for more info:)))

Yes Sharon totally agree...

I think I've said this before, but I believe Gideon would have just had straight, bread and butter, sex with Corinne. They were both young, maybe in first relationships, and Corinne just doesn't seem the type. And this may just be my lack of background knowledge, but I don't think BDSM stuff was as mainstream back then. After all it was an era we could call pre-50SOG!

My guess is that post-Corinne, when Gideon wasn't even trying for affection based relationships, is when he needed more excitement and found he liked the control and dominance of BDSM sex and toys.

Just my guess, however.

Two things - a question and a comment. Is there a thread some where that matches the photo snippets to the scene in the book? I know some of them, but there are others I don't know. Did anyone ever match them all up? When re-reading the Times Square scene I just remembered the red stair one.

The comment is I looked up sex swings on amazon (hope I'm not now going to be bombarded with sex toy adds) and found all sorts. Some would be very suitable for G-E's place, though Gideon would probably want a custom design. They also had a camouflage one! I guess for if you're feeling frisky and maybe want to do a Tarzan-Jane thing in the woods.

Best of all at the bottom of the page was a Bondage Starter Kit for only $19.95. Ladies - start your engines! :)

Ok. here we go!!!!!!!!     

 

1) You want them to watch. You want them to see me f*ck my c*ck into your greedy little c*nt until yo're drippin in c*m. You want me to prove you're mine...... Make yu feel it."

2) I was snared. His big body covered mine, his rms around me, torso to hips, his teeth in my shoulder holding me in place. He owned me.

3) He wrapped my throat with his hand, gripped my hip, and thrust so hard into methat my feet left the floor. He held me there, suspended in his arms, filled with his c*ck, his groan cascading over my senses.

4) That's it, angel," he said urgently. "Let me hear how much you like it.

5) I was unbearably excited, greedy, feeling both the submission of my pose and tha dominance of being serviced.

J***s Chri*t. I've got to stop reading this stuff at work!

Morning Everyone, just lying back here watching my lovely Eva getting ready for bed ~wink wink~

 

Oh my! Best yet!!! Think I'll just lie back and look at this picture - instead of writing evaluations. Hope my evaluation of the picture doesn't get mixed in with the others.

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone!!

Welcome to all the new forum members... You all were busy last night took me forever to catch up

Hey Nrock,

When I signed up I thought I could start posting immediately too!!

The I read that I had to wait to be validated.. It took a few days which felt like forever!

In my status I even put "what does a girl have to do to finally post around here!!" A days later I was validated lol

Now I'm in obsessed with the forum and love it!

Fluffy - if I may be so familiar - I think the saying is really , "who do you have to f**k around here to get a drink", so I think you should have just substituted "get a post in" for " get a drink" And the answer of course would/should be GIDEON! (I wish)

Hope that's not too convoluted. I get a little incoherent when I thinking about Gideon!

I love Angus! He's really more my age, too, unfortunately. Wouldn't you love to know what he whispered to Gideon during the congratulations at the end on the ceremony?

Hi Nrock, 

Let's see if this works:

 

http://www.sylviaday.com/category/snippet/

 

If you click on that you should be able to find which ever snippets that you are looking for.  I think that the snippet that you are looking for is between snippet 6 and 5.  I hope that helps. 

Thanks, Gigi- and to everyone who replied. You're the best !

There you are Kirsten! Julie wanted her Henry fix earlier and since I didn't see you on I uploaded a pic lol

Love the pic you posted... I just wish he would wear a blue tie more often lol

I've been loving all the Gideon pictures, but especially the occasional moody unsmiling ones. Anyone run across any "dark and dangerous" looking ones? Like maybe when Gideon is watching Eva dancing with Martin or talking to Brett? Sigh...

^{N rock here is the link to the New Years Eve teaser:  http://www.sylviaday.com/2012/12/31/special-teaser-years/}

Just out of curiosity, by what process does one get "validated"? When I signed up a little while back, I thought I could start posting immediately. I kept tying to figure out where on the screen I could hit a reply and couldn't figure it out. Then a day or two later I think I got a message and the screen changed. It still took me a little time to figure out the system - being a little tech challenged. It would be easier if there were a clear Reply button at the bottom of each post, rather than only saying Reply at the bpttom of each page. I've also wondered it it had anything to do with my using an iPad instead of a regular computer.

I realize this info is probably posted somewhere and I've just overlooked it. I'm only going on about it in case some other people who are just readers, have some of the same questions. I'm sure these amazing stories have brought lots of other new people into this world of blogs and fan forums. You just have to have someone to share and discuss with!

And you guys are so friendly and supportive and welcoming - however wild or emotional or bizarre we get with our theories!

Thanks so much!!!

Molte grazie, Gabriel!

Sorry, Gabri - added the el.

Hi Nrock

you can google sylvia day snippets and it lies between Snippet #5 and #6.

ciao

Molte grazie, Gabriel!

http://www.sylviaday.com/2012/12/31/special-teaser-years/

Thanks very much, Barb!

Could someone please tell me the number of the New Year's snippet that's been referred to several times? Or the easiest way to find it? The one I mean is said to be from Gideon's point of view. I must have missed it - didn't join the fun until a month or two ago. Thanks in advance.

Byeeeeeeeeeee Tat. So long. Farewell. Ciao baby. Don't slam the door behind you!

I seem to be off in most of my guesses. Another area I was off was at some point earlier in the book, I thought maybe Tatiana was going to be and was being portrayed as kind of a good guy. She did at least 3 nice things: she rushed right to Cary when she got back from Prague when she heard about his beating. She wore the naughty nurse outfit to cheer him up - which showed her understanding of him, and she did say take care of him for me when she was leaving. I also figured she had to be cut a little slack because what woman wouldn't have been a little jealous of Eva's relationship with Cary and more than a little suspicious of it? Some of the tabloids were speculating about a relationship between them as well - that Cary was Eva's bit of side action, or however they put it. I know also she did give Gideon a come on smile when she met him, but honestly, what woman wouldn't? Oh and also the nice robe comment later.

Then suddenly, to me anyway, she is a real bit*ch in Entwined. I was surprised and wondered if Sylvia had also changed her mind about her and needed her to take a different role in the plot.

Signed, Clueless

I have a question about one of my all time favorite scenes--the airplane ride to the Caribbean. 

 

When Gideon was introducing Eva to the cuffs he told her to close her eyes and use your safeword before you open you eyes if you have to.

 

Then he said "Let's be very clear about this, Eva.  Your safeword isn't for me It's for you.  All you have to say to me is no or stop, but just like wearing the cuffs makes you feel bound, saying your safeword will put your mind in the right place.  Do you understand?' 

 

Where is the right place he wants her mind that means no?  Just curious.

I think what Gideon means is he thinks having the power to stop things will allow Eva to relax and feel free from the need to always guard herself and never be able to completely let herself get lost in the moment and even the relationship. I think the unrestrained cuffs are another method of furthering this goal. Sort of dipping a toe in the water, so to speak. It can also be a whole lot of fun, so maybe Gideon has a tad more than just Eva's mental health on his agenda here. :)

She is another one I don't trust. And I'm not talking about being "pregnant" yeah right. I'm having a hard time trying to understand this relationship, because Cary doesn't like her either, so it's just about the sex. Oh Cary!

I don't have my book here to check but I believe Cary told Eva that Tatiana needed him and that Trey loved him but didn't need him.

Cary has probably only ever had Eva to care about and to "mother" and feel needed by. It's very sad, and he probably knows Eva's beginning to slip away. Tatiana is probably beginning to fulfill that role for him a little. I hope she doesn't hurt him.

The first night Gideon and Eva are seen in public together, Corinne rings Gideon from France to say her marriage is over and to ask for his help getting settled in NY. The pictures of Gideon and Eva wouldn't have been online until the next day, therefore Eva is not the reason Corinne decided to end her marriage and come back and fight for Gideon. That decision was made before she learnt of Eva's existance.

The timing may be too tight for this, but I've always wondered if magdalene was the one who let Corinne know there was a rival on the horizon. Of course this wouldn't have helped Maggie's situation with regard to catching Gideon. She may seem or be nice, but I think she's still a manipulator. What else did she have to do, besides lunch?

Where is Chris Sr. during all this time? Is he being saved by sylvia for some surprise role?

You really think it is ok to have the girl you love on a video having sex every which way but up.  They used a girl that Eva said looked like her and even the reporter thought it was her performing.  The golden video appears to be explicit and embarrassed Eva.  I don't think that is love.  Most men that love their girlfriends keep that a little more personal.   I don't think that video is a way to try to get back with someone. To me it told their fans that "golden" is a  little s l u t; that is a time that Eva is trying to get away from.  I'm not a Brett fan at the moment and he will have to go a long way to redeem himself for me.

I was really bothered by the music video and I was astonished that Eva wasn't freaked out about what was understood to be a portrayal of her relationship with Brett - regardless of whether she was actually acting in it or not. Sure she admitted to Brett that it kind of bothered her, but then, as I recall, more or less tells him it's okay. (I didn't really want to re- read the scene again to check). And I can't believe that Gideon didn't totally go medieval on Brett's a**!

Ok I get where you're coming from. Although based on the fact she was pregnant and JFGs reactions in EWY, my personal belief is that the marriage fell apart shortly before she headed to NY and they were not particularly far into the divorce. Why would you still be sleeping with someone when you're months into divorce proceedings?

Something else to consider though... we know Gideon is a dominant, and we're fairly sure from Corinne's words in Bared about his possessiveness that this was the role he took in their relationship also - in fact some have even speculated that he collared Corinne. Anyway knowing that about him how would she hope to convince him this child was his? If he took the dominant role he would insist upon attending ultrasounds and being fully aware of all aspects of this pregnancy.

Or are you saying you dont believe Corinne to be capable of rational thought by the time she decides to leave France?

Maybe its because of my nature - I over think EVERYTHING - but I find it hard to believe schemers dont at least consider the possible outcomes of their actions.

I have always felt that when Corinne said that about Gideon being so possessive of poor scared little her, she was either lying through her teeth, or at best wishfully thinking. She was saying it to get to Eva. I also don't believe he started that dominant sex toy stuff till after she was out of the picture. I don't think he would have enjoyed that kind of scene with her. He was relieved Corinne was gone, but he needed some form of activity in her place - and he really needed to feel in control of his sexual feelings. And I'm sure he didn't want to get involved with some other clingy demanding passive aggressive girlfriend. Not to speak unkindly about Corinne, though :)

In chapter seven, Eva tells Gideon, not to lead Deanna on with any contact, that she's probably still digging in to him.

So what does the chump do at the end of the book. Three phone calls on his cell, a trip to the wine bar, and a chat at the dinner at Cipriani's. As Eva said, he's watering the weed! So love that expression!

Duh! Mr Clueless isnt listening to Mrs Streetwise.

This will come back to bite him in the bum!

Julie, Gideon has reasons for meeting with Deanna and he told Eva that she had been right and he had been wrong to think he could just handle Deanna by brushing her off. One he tells Eva that he knew he had been an a s s hole to her and decided to apologize to her. He meets her at a public bar so no one can get any ideas. I think also he was realizing Deanna was a bad enemy. But I hope he really was sincere in his apology - he had been a right pri*k even if she had come on strong. And virtue was rewarded - she gave him advance warning about the sex tape so he got some lead time before it hit the Internet and tabloids.

And Gideon was smart to make that deal about exclusive rights to the wedding photos. It would keep her from making more trouble amongst all the f-ed up group of Vidals, Girouxs, and who knows who else. Clever Gideon !

LN, that's a good thought and it really makes sense that Clancy would have done the bracelet switch at least as much for the Stanton crew as for Gideon. After all, in the eyes of the world, the Stanton's have a much clearer and obvious motive than Gideon. He's only been seeing Eva a relatively short time, and even if things look hot and heavy to the public, it's quite a leap from that to committing murder for her.
