Chapter 440
"Ready to go?" He asked me, his tone a low whisper, his breath warming the side of my face as he whispered into my ear.
I nodded.
"More than ready," I told him.
"We have to return to that game from earlier and get your prize," he reminded me.
I laughed at the memory, but the laugh was cut short when Donna, his mother, approached us, her arms folded across her chest.
"Gavin, can we have a word please... in private," she said, her eyes narrowed as she stared at her son.
Gavin sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, clearly fed up with his mother.
"I'm on a date," Gavin told her, tightening his hold around my shoulders. "I'm not leaving her to speak with my mother. If you'll excuse us, I need to get Judy home."
"Fine but we will be talking about this tomorrow. Expect a visit at your office bright and early," she shouted after him. His fists tightened in a ball, and I could tell he was holding himself back from saying and doing something he would regret.
"He'll be back," I heard Daisy saying to Donna. "There's nothing for you to worry about, Mom."
I hated that I was jealous, I hated that I was acting insecure, but the fact that his mom doesn't like me... hurt.
Once we got back to the car, I was silent. Gavin sighed as he put the car in drive, looked both ways and pulled out of the parking spot.
"Don't let them get to you," he said softly. "They don't know what they are talking about. My mother thinks she knows best... but she doesn't. She's being naive and soon her eyes will open, and she'll realize her mistake."
"What mistake?" I asked.
"That she can't control me or who I bring into my life. All she cares about is her family fortune... she worries that if it's put in the wrong hands, it could ruin everything."
"And she's not worried about Daisy?" I asked, raising my brows. "She screams gold-digger."
"Yes, she does, which is what I try to tell my mother. But she claims that Daisy is a good friend and would never do anything to hurt the Landry family. I don't know if I believe that myself though."
"I don't believe that at all," I murmur, thinking about all the terrible things Daisy had said and done since I'd known her.
"Nor do I," he replied a bit too quickly. "Besides their intrusion at the end, I hope this evening was satisfactory for you."
I glanced at him.
"Satisfactory?" I asked. "Tonight was amazing. By far the best date I've ever been
on."
Granted, I haven't been on many, but this was definitely at the top.
He chuckled, his shoulders shaking from the movement.
"I'm glad to hear that," he told me. "I've enjoyed myself too. I liked getting to know you better."
My face burned as I stared up at him; he kept his eyes fixed on the road, but I knew he could feel my eyes on him.
Once we reached the mansion, he put the car in park and got out. He ran around the passenger side and helped me out of the car.
"Are you staying the night?" I asked him.
He smirked as we continued to walk towards the front door. He unlocked it with ease but made no movement to open the door.
"No, I'm returning to my villa tonight," he told me. I felt a jab of disappointment in my chest and I couldn't seem to hide it on my face.
I looked away.
"Oh..."
He took my chin gently between his fingers and moved my head, so I was looking
at him again.
"I wanted
tonight to be a proper
about sex," he explained.
"For right now, we will part
Ì be seeing you tomorro

I nodded, my eyes never leaving his.
He bent down and brushed his lips delicately across mine as if he was just getting
a small taste.
"Good night, Judy," he murmured against my lips.
"Good night," I whispered against his.
He pulled back a sparkle of
something in his eyes that made my heart skip a beat. He then opened the door for me to enter the
mansion, and with a gentle nudge, I stepped inside. He pulled the door
shut, blocking my view of him.

I was still in a daze long after he left. I stayed in front of the closed door, even
when I heard his car starting up and him driving away.
Tonight was completely magical.
By the time I reached my room, I was practically floating. I grabbed my doorknob
and pulled it open, stepping inside.
As soon as I was inside, I heard something crashing to the ground, making me freeze entirely. I was now on full alert that someone was in my room as my eyes scanned the
area. It was dark in my room but with my wolf sight, I was able to spot the invader perfectly, someone was going through my things... searching for God knows what. swnovel
Standing across my bedroom, looking like a dear caught in headlights was... "Sammy?"
