Corinne may be a smart woman, but when it comes to Gideon she doesn't think straight or rationally.

Corinne is obsessed with Gideon and will take him anyway she can get him. To be honest, I would probably take Gideon any way I could get him, too.    LOL!

I believe Corinne is taking it slow with Gideon this time around and she is letting Gideon take the lead in their relationship instead of her calling the shots.

While in Paris,I believe that Corinne thought long and hard about her relationship with Gideon and how she would do things differently.

BTY page327

 

Gideon says: "I met her (Corinne) my first year at Columbia....

When she pursued me, I let myself be caught and she became my first consensual sexual experience."

 

Do you think that Gideon had a non-consensual experience with a woman?

I guess I thought that his only non-consensual sexual experience was with the male graduate student...

hmmm...

On page 280 in BTY:

Gideon says: "I've always used the hotel."

 

Eva says: "That's the only place you've had sex? Before me?"

 

"The only place I've had consensual sex," he said quietly, "before you."

 

So he took Corrine to the same hotel..

 

Do you think that Gideon was a virgin before Corrine?

 

And where did he get all his sexual expertise?

Flo Rida:   "Wild One"

 

At the beginning of BTY, when Eva and Cary hooked up with Gideon at one of his night clubs...

 

"Hey, I heard you were a wild one,

If I took you home it'd be a home run..."

*sigh*

*ugh*   I can't go there.....yet...

YES!!!!

O.M.G.!!    Yeah, baby!   LOL!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Love this, LN Cronan!!!!

I love Angus!!

 

Do you think Gideon will eventually (somehow) help the people who were devastated financially by his father?

Because of Gideon's need to control  and because of his intense reaction when Eva told him what Nathan did to her..

 

I believe that Gideon had Nathan followed from day one.

Now that I've read your all posts re: Gideon and Corrine-----Gideon is starting to me off!   LOL!

Hello GiGi, LN Cronan & jo_mama,

 

I still come back to the possibility that Nathan ended up in NY after seeing a gossip rag of Eva & Gideon. If Eva's dad could hear about it in California than I'm sure Nathan heard about it wherever he was. I find it suspect that Nathan wanted to leave the country with the money he was hoping to get from Gideon and/or Stanton? I think he was in trouble and was looking to get away quickly. I think he is a sicko who continued to rape women long after Eva was gone - and (this makes my stomach turn) maybe little girls. I think it may come out in EWY that he was a suspect in several other rapes and the cops were getting close. We have no reason to believe he would stop with Eva.

 

I think Nathan became enrage when he saw Eva living a good life and happy and from his thinking he probably assumed she was doing it with his father's money. I think he intended to get money from who ever was willing to give it Gideon/Stanton, then kill Eva and fleed the country.

 

I don't think Gideon was trailing Nathan until after the attack on Cary. I think he was keeping a close eye on Eva, but I think the night he was meeting with his security he was putting them on alert to watch Nathan and keep an even closer eye on Eva. After all, if Gideon's plan to kill Nathan was to be successful he would need to know where Nathan is. Imagine him showing up at Nathan's hotel with knife in hand and Nathan is out getting a hot dog at a street vendor - talk about a buzz kill -lol.

 

As for Corinne, come on, no woman is going to spend time with a man she wants, knowing he has a girlfriend and not ask if he and his girlfriend are having problems, since he's now spending so much time with her. Corinne would want to know if her plan was working. She would want to "be there" for Gideon during his heartbreak. She would milk that role for all it's worth. It makes no sense to me that they wouldn't have had some kind of conversation regarding the status of his relationship with Eva. Even if it were a short one something along the lines of "we're on a break, but I just want to be friends with you." I'm not so sure if Gideon is as honest as others think. I don't think he lies out right, but lying through omission is just as bad. Gideon withholds a lot, he is the king of withholding and in keeping secrets they become lies.

 

Bare with me here, is it not a lie the pretense of Gideon getting back together with Corinne? And since he didn't tell Eva it was fake knowing that she believes something was happening between those two, and not just that, but the woman was heart broken and he still didn't say, "look angel it's all a ruse." All he said was "trust me" and "be patient" - that's lying by omission and he's wrong for that. And, he most certainly lied to Eva every time she begged him to talk to her about what was going on by his dismissive attitude or keeping his mouth closed. Was he ever going to tell her about Nathan? Really the only time I see Gideon being upfront and honest with Eva is when she gives him no choice. For example his F-pad had she not discovered the toys I doubt he would have told her that's where he takes "dates." Then there's the ex-fiance, once again Eva had to confront him about it and then he told the truth. He introduced Corinne as an "old friend" big difference. Nor did he tell Eva he left the advocacy dinner to pick up Corinne until she confronted him with that information. Then when Eva was on the phone with him and she asked him if Nathan showed him pictures of her and he admitted it, but only after she demanded an answer. He lied to her about meeting her at Dr. Petersen. He knew he would be off killing Nathan and had no intention of meeting her at the doctor's office, he wanted her to go so she would have an alibi for the evening. He lied to her about beathing Nathan up in his office when he said, "I had to take a late meeting" and refusing to explain further. So in that sense, Gideon is a little manipulative. Eva has to confront him everytime to get the truth. And sometime she has to repeatedly confront him and still get nothing - his dreams, his shares in Vidal Records, his problems with his family, his rift with Dr. Lucas - he never told Eva outright how it started, just what he did to get revenge on the doctor.

 

If I had to confront my husband at every turn to get him to tell me the truth or even talk to me about what is happening in his life we would have been long divorced. Sorry I love the "ideal" of Gideon but if I saw him in real life knowing what I know about him - I'd run as fast as my Nike's could go in the opposite direction. I understand he has issues and that keeps him closed off, but he'll never overcome those issues if he chooses to stay tight lipped. I hope he trust Eva enough in EWY to open the flood gates and deal with himself with her support.

Wow and Wow, lady!  Great points!

I better have my book EWY, Barnes and Noble! LOL!

 

I probably should schedule a vacation day from work on June 5!

 

I'll probably read EWY too fast--the first time..

The second time I read EWY, I will take it slow and savor every word...

 

Then, I will come on this site to see what you all think!

I agree!

You got that right!!1   LOL!

I know that I am probably sounding like a cheerleader..

but I  enjoy and appreciate the different points of view and opinions here..

 

I think that Gideon will have some kind of financial disaster and that Eva will come to his rescue financially. I imagine that Eva's 5 million dollars has grown exponentially under Stanton's watch.

 

This is just a "feeling" I have and I really don't have solid basis for thinking this way... LOL!

Just want you all to know that I look forward each day to reading your insights..

 

Amazing!

I think the vitamins mentioned in snippet #7 refers to something Cary said in RIY

“What kind of vitamins does Cross take?â€â€œHuh?â€â€œI’m never not , and even I can’t pile-drive all night like that

Not sure if the club is in Vegas

But who are the girls that Eva's with?

Maybe Megumi is getting married?        I thought that they were at one of Gideon's clubs in New York....

Great point!  I think that Monica is really immature...

I think that she will have a fling with Victor...

O.M.G., Sylvia, Yes!!!!!!!!!

I like!     

I was a CG fan as well.. But now am so glad GC got me out of that! I like Eva's character way more , Ana was such a pushover, I see her as a yes/no/yes/no girl now. A bit annoying really. And I like how Gideon doesnt use sex as an "either punishment or reward" option

LOL!!  I am so over CG,too!!

"God." He nuzzled his mouth against my temple. "It's so perfect when you give yourself over to me like that.....all at once,as if it is a huge relief."       ---Gideon Cross   "Bared To You"

 

 

Great points, GiGi.   You all take this to another level!

Dear God, Sylvia!!!

There are probably thousands of women who are on the brink of having an with that snippet!

 

...Please...

I believe Gideon killed Nathan with one well aimed knife to the heart. I think because Gideon had time to plan out how he was going to do it, he was at his most controlled knowing it would have to be clean and quick. Nathan opens the door thinking Gideon came to pay him off and bam - knife through the heart - no screaming, no blood splatter on Gideon, no chance of possibly cuts on his hand from going crazy with the knife. He was in and out as planned. Plus he already had the chance to go crazy by hitting Nathan in his office until he bled - that wasn't Giddeon's blood on his shirt - I don't think?!

 

I just don't see Gideon letting Angus do it because Gideon would want complete control over this with zero chance of a mistake happening. Best way to do that is to do it yourself. And the passage that can be read under the book's cover, Eva says he has" proverbial blood on his hands" and when Eva says "it's too much" Gideon responds "what I did." I think that right there says he did it.

 

I also think that scene is just pages into EWY because I bet Gideon didn't open up to Eva even after she explained what the detective said, because he wouldn't trust it and I don't blame him. He probably sent Eva away because I detect a little bit of sarcasm when she says "it's dangerous for you to be here." Kind of like she's throwing his words back at him. And all the talk about how long it's been since they've been "together" why wouldn't they had just gotten it on at Gideon's place if everything was cool? I know Eva says "it's only been an hour since she'd been with him..." But, I don't think she means in the romantic sense of the world. Especially because they about to go feral on each other. EWY is gonna be very interesting!

Good points----you all bring up things that I hadn't thought about...

 Eva feels that she needs to be in control during sex because she had NO control when Nathan abused her.  However, the need for Eva to be in control  makes her tense. When she submits to Gideon, she has a greater sexual experience. Eva submits (gives up her need to control) to Gideon because she is learning to trust him....

It is easier for Eva to submit because she knows that Gideon worships her.
