I thought Gavin would have taken me home first and then gone home with the others, so I was surprised when he dropped Irene, Matt, and Ethan off at the villa first. As soon as they left the car and shut the door behind them, Beta Taylor rolled up the window separating the backseat from the front seat.
I furrowed my brows and glanced at Gavin who was facing forward and avoiding my eyes.
“Did you make me go out to dinner with you and your family just to rub Ethan’s relationship in my face?” I found myself asking, my tone unwavering.
“You needed to see that they are together and nothing you do is going to break them apart,” Gavin said, his voice void of all emotions.
“And you think I want to break them apart?” I asked. “I don’t want anything to do with Ethan
“Good, so it should be easy for you to stay away from him then, right?” He asked, turning his head to face me; his eyes pouring into
mine as if he was staring into my soul.
I found myself paralyzed as I stared back at him, almost captivated by him.
“Right,” I answered, my voice coming out breathy.
Before I knew what was happening, Gavin was cupping the back of my head, keeping me still as he lowered himself to eye level. He was so close to me, that I could feel his warm breath brushing across my lips. My eyes tried to flutter shut, but I desperately fought to keep them open, not wanting to give in to the sweet temptation that was clouding my mind. But Gavin Landry made it almost impossible to resist. My heart was hammering so wildly against my ribcage, I thought it was going to beat out of my chest.
“Let’s get one thing straight, Miss Montague,” he said, his voice deep and making my legs weak. “If my daughter gets hurt because of your antics with her fiancé, I will be holding go easy on you. Nothing and nobody is more important than my family.”
you accountable and I won’t
“You don’t even like Ethan. So, why do you want her with him so badly?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I knew I shouldn’t have asked that question, because it doesn’t make me look good. It almost makes me sound like a homewrecker, but I couldn’t help myself.
Since I’ve been around Gavin and Ethan, it’s clear that Gavin doesn’t like him. I mean, he almost killed him earlier. If I hadn’t reminded him that Irene would be upset if Ethan was hurt, he probably would have killed him. I couldn’t understand why a father would want his daughter to be with someone he couldn’t stand.
As soon as the question left my lips, Gavin’s face darkened, and he released his hold on the back of my
head.
“That’s not your concern,” he murmured. “Keep your nose out of other people’s business.”
I stared down at my hands, tugging at my fingers awkwardly.
“You are right; I’m sorry,” I said softly.
The car soon stopped, and I realized we were outside my house. I unbuckled my seatbelt and peeked

over at Gavin; he seemed detached almost. Like he was lost in thought, and I wanted to ask him what was on his mind, but I knew that wasn’t my business either.
“Thank you for the ride, Alpha Landry,” I said as I pushed the door open.
I could feel his eyes on me as I slid out of the car and shut the door behind me. The cold night air wrapped around me, and I shivered; this dress that Irene let me borrow left nose room for wondering what was beneath. There was more skin than fabric and it wasn’t really weather–appropriate. I wrapped my arms around myself and shivered as I made my way to the doorway.
Before I could walk any further, I felt warmth wrapping around my shoulders and my entire body froze. I looked down to see a familiar jacket draped around my body. I slowly turned to see Gavin standing closely behind me; he had taken his coat off and put it around my shoulders. My face warmed as I looked up at him.
“You should have been more prepared for the weather” he told me, his voice indifferent.
I frowned at him.
“I wasn’t planning on wearing a dress this evening,” told him. “Especially not one so revealing.”
His eyes gazed down at my body briefly before traveling back up to my eyes.
“Don’t make this a habit,” he muttered and then he turned and started to walk back towards his car.
