Chapter 545
"Thanks," Gavin said, shuffling towards the voice.
I managed to focus a little and saw Rachel standing beside him with our coats in her hand. The second my eyes locked on with hers, I lost everything that was in my stomach. I turned away and threw up all over the ground, my entire body heaving.
I heard Gavin cursing and then a warm fabric draping my shoulders. From the overwhelming scent of Gavin, I knew it was his coat.
"I need you to do me a favor," Gavin said in a low tone; I knew he wasn't talking to me or Irene, which only left Rachel.
"Anything," she said softly, making me want to vomit all over again. I focused on my breath, not wanting to puke all over his coat.
"Take my wallet and go back inside. I need you to stay until the end of the event and once they start taking donations, give them my credit card. I already texted Elana the amount I'm donating, I just need to pay for it."
"Why do I need to stay until the end of the event?" She asked, sounding a bit hurt.noveldrama
"Because that's when they are doing the donations, and plus, it'll look bad if we both leave. You're really good with these guys; you talk their language and get them on board quickly. They admire you; they barely even notice when I'm there. They won't notice me gone. Just keep doing what you're doing. It would help me out a lot, Rachel."
She was quiet for a moment before she sighed.
"Okay, but where are you going?" She asked him, folding her arms across her chest.
"I have to take these two home," he explained. "I need to make sure they get back safely."
"Get Beta Taylor to do that?"
He put a hand on her shoulder; I had to look away before I completely lost it again. I hated their intimacy; I hated when he touched her... I hated it when he looked at her.
"She's my daughter, Rachel. I need to make sure she gets home. I won't feel better unless I know for sure," he told her. "I'll have Taylor come back to pick you up later."
Before she could say another word, I felt Gavin's arms around me, and suddenly, was airborne. I didn't
realize Irene was already in the back of the car, but she was seated when Gavin placed me beside her and then slid in beside me, shutting the door behind him.
Rachel stared after us, standing on the curb with a deep frown; I couldn't help but glance her way as the car pulled away from the building; her eyes piercing mine and I could have sworn I saw steam coming out of her ears.
I might have drunk out of my mind, but I knew one thing for sure... Rachel was fucking pissed.
At some point, + must have fallen
asleep because the next thing I knew, we were pulling up to the mansion. I half expected him to just drop me off at home, so I was surprised when we reached the mansion. Irene was also asleep by the time the car stopped
"Taylor, can you get Irene to her bed?" Gavin asked.
"Yes, Alpha," Taylor said as he got out of the car.
Gavin pushed the car door open and got out before wrapping me in his arms and pulling me out as well. He held me bridal style; I was too out of it to fight him. I rested my head on his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart as he walked with me inside the mansion.
I could hear some of the murmuring staff through the walls as we made our way
up the stairs. I heard the clicking of a door, and from the scent surrounding me, I knew we were in Gavin's room.
I heard another door opening and then closing, and then he sat me down on something cold. I opened my eyes to peer around at my surroundings, and I saw that I was in his bathroom; he placed me on the counter.
The sound of running water woke me a bit more.
He was quiet as he moved around the bathroom; his movements effortless and yet filled with purpose. It took me a while to figure out what he was doing but soon, he was standing in front of me, his closeness intoxicating.
"I'm going to undress you now," he said, his tone deep. "And you're going to let me."
