Chapter 187

Chapter 0187 I chewed the inside of my cheek and then nodded. I guess it did answer my question; this was only sex, and he only had that one thing on his mind when he suggested this little arrangement. I knew it wasn’t anything more than that, but still, it made my stomach hurt a little. There was still a part of me that hoped maybe he did feel something more for me and that this wasn’t just sex. But I was only fooling myself.

“There you go, Beautiful,” Chester said, bringing me out of my thoughts as he slid a plate of food in my direction.

“Coffee,” Gavin ordered, his nostrils flaring.

Chester nodded as he put a plate in front of him and then went to grab a cup of coffee. Gavin’s eyes followed Chester the entire time, and I could feel the tension in the room, though I wasn’t sure why there was so much of it. Gavin had no right to act like this; it was strange, to say the least.

When Chester slid two mugs in front of us and filled them to the top with coffee, Gavin dismissed him for the morning. Even Chester had enough sense in him not to argue. We ate in silence and once we finished, the kitchen aids were the ones who cleaned.

“I’ll take you to school,” he told me as he grabbed his coat off the hook.

“I can have Leroy take me,” I told him..

“Just come on,” he murmured, grabbing my arm and gulling me away from the kitchen.

“Careful Alpha Landry,” I said teasingly. “One might think you actually like me if you keep acting possessively.”

He didn’t reply, he just shook his head. I chuckled as I sat in the car. We talked for a little while as we and drove to my school, but for the most part, it was fairly quiet. He told me Leroy would pick me up bring me to the villa later.

Now that Nan knows just about everything, I was able to confide in her a little about it this morning before class. I told her how confusing it was for me to be spending this time with Gavin, not knowing exactly where I stood. One minute he was acting cold like this was no big deal, and the next he was being possessive and not wanting other men to flirt or even look at me. I didn’t understand him.

“I can’t believe you are actually sleeping with him,” Nan chuckled, shaking her head. “Maybe he’s just as confused.”

I pondered that for a while during the day and decided to just let it go for right now.

True to his words, Leroy picked me up and brought me to the villa. I wasn’t expecting a run–in with Irene today, but she stood in front of me with her arms folded across her chest, blocking my way into the parlor where I typically met Matt for our tutoring sessions.

“You can’t go in there today,” she said. “My father is busy with the film crew “Oh, I wasn’t aware they were using the parlor today, I said, glancing at the time. “Is Matt elsewhere?” “Maybe in his room?” She murmured. She glanced over her shoulder and pushed the door open slightly so I could see into the room.

Gavin sat on the couch with none other than Skyla Singlaire seated on his right. She was just as beautiful in person as she was in magazines and on TV. Her hands were on his arm, and she was giggling at something that was said by someone in the room.

The sight of them together, so close, made my blood go cold.

“Don’t they make such a beautiful couple?”
