There's Nothing Like A Little Gideon Therapy

He Was Impossibly Gorgeous. I Had Trouble Taking It In At Times

We Are Totally Dysfunctional.” “i Prefer ‘selectively Deviant’. But We’ll Keep That To Ourselves.

Gideon Was A Force Of Nature, His Magnetic Self-possession So Powerful It Put Everyone Around Him In His Shadow. I Saw Flashes Of It Every Day And Was Awed By It, But Not Nearly As Much As I Was By The Charming, Wryly Amusing Lover I Had Entirely To Myself In Our Private Moments Together.

And Yet I Understood The Alienation Of Being Around Others Who Couldn't Really See You Or Chose Not To. I'd Felt The Self-loathing That Came With Being A Fraud, Protraying An Image Of What You Wished You Could Be But Weren't. I'd Lived With The Fear That People You Loved Might Turn Away From You If They Ever Got To Know The True Person Hidden Inside.

My Domineering Lover Made No Apologies For His Caveman Tendencies.
