“Oh, sorry, Dad. I thought you said that session was only moved,” she murmured. “I told her the session had been moved. But when she got here, she said she wasn’t feeling well and then left. That’s all I know…”
Something wasn’t sitting right in the pit of my stomach, but Irene had no reason to lie to me, so I nodded.
“Okay,” I murmured. “Thanks. I’m having dinner with Skyla tonight, so I won’t be home till later.” “Sure, Dad,” Irene said, her eyes lighting up. “Have fun!”
I walked past her and up the stairs so I could get dressed for my dinner. Within the hour, we were ready to go. Skyla changed into a dazzling red dress that hugged her thin body perfectly and amplified her breasts. I knew she was doing it on purpose, but it rubbed me the wrong way.
I texted Judy again before I left and told her that I hoped she felt better and to call if she needed anything. I didn’t mind stopping by with whatever she might need… it went unanswered though which made me worry even more.
I shouldn’t be worried about her like this… it wasn’t in my nature. Yet, I couldn’t seem to get her out of my head, even while I was at dinner with Skyla.
“Alpha Gavin, you seem distracted,” Skyla said, staring at me from across the table. She picked up her wine and took a sip. “Is everything okay?”
“I murmured as I took a sip of my own wine. “I just have a lot on my mind. I’m very busy lately. “I can understand that,” Skyla said, batting her lashes “I’ve been super busy too. It’s nice to get out though and get away from it all. Thank you for taking me to this lovely restaurant. It’s perfect and just what I needed. I’m sure you needed to get out too, being a busy Lycan and all.”
I nodded.
“It is nice to not be doing any work right now,” I lied.
In truth, this was more work than my actual work. But I couldn’t say that to her, so I decided on a lie. She seemed to have bought it because she smiled and relaxed in her seat.
“I’m so glad to hear you say that,” she said softly, reaching over the table and touching my arm gently.” Because I’m hoping we can spend more time together.
I pulled my arm away subtly and leaned back in my seat, taking another sip of wine.
“It’s not often that I have this free time,” I told her. “I’m not sure it would be possible.”
“I’m busy too,” she confessed. “But I’ll make time for you. I’m really enjoying myself and I think you are enjoying yourself too. We could have a little fun and get to know each other even better. Two busy souls, finding comfort in one another.”
Before I could reply, the waiter returned with our meals. We didn’t finish the conversation; we ate in silence. I hoped she had forgotten about the conversation, but as we left the restaurant, she reached over and grabbed a hold of my hand.
“I don’t want the evening to end,” she said in a hushed tone as she stepped closer to me, her breasts. pressing against my arm. “How about we take a walk under the stars and talk about life? It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a date and-
I stepped away from her, forcing her arms to drop to her sides and off my body.
“This wasn’t a date, Skyla,” I told her, a little more harshly than I anticipated. “I’m sorry if you got the wrong idea but ”
“Of course not, but I was hoping that maybe this could have turned into one,” Skyla said quickly. “I’m not stupid, Gavin. I knew this wasn’t a date when we started, but I also know that there’s a connection between us.”
“This was merely a casual outing at best,” 1 told her, my frown deepening
She opened her mouth to reply, but a flash of light stopped her. She turned to see a couple of men with cameras pointed at her.
“Skyla Sinclaire? Are you on a date with Gavin Landry?”
“Skyla who are you wearing? Your dress is lovely!”
“Skyla what’s your relationship with Alpha Landry? Are you a couple? Or are you just friends?”
Skyla was momentarily stunned, as was 1. I thought she would have told them that this was nothing more than a casual outing as we had just discussed, so was shocked when she stepped closer to me, wrapping her arms around my neck.
She smiled at the camera, winked, and then she kissed me!
