The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

He had so many things to say to her, so many things that he wanted to say, but uldn’t.

He had been avoiding her, simply because he couldn’t look at her after the things he had done and found out.

He was torn between telling her about her true nature or letting her live a little more without the knowledge of what she was. Of what he was. Draco

wanted him to tell her everything as soon as possible, but Gabriel didn’t think she was ready.

Why would she? She was young, it would be a lot for her to take in, especially after all that she had been through.

He also especially felt bad for telling Jenny to replace her breast milk with formula. It was only for Emilia’s sake. He hoped that if he at least lessened the quantity of Lori’s breast milk she was taking, it would at least stop Emilia from having growth spurts.

He couldn’t bring himself to tell her not to breastfeed Emilia again. He could only imagine what she would think after he said that.

He picked up his jacket.

“Okay. I’m heading to bed. I’ll see you upstairs.”

He said and Lori nodded.

He was walking away when she called out to him.

She had been thinking about it. And it didn’t seem right, or remotely sensible that she was still sleeping in Gabriel’s room.

She thought it would be best if she went back to her room.

“I think it’s best I go back to my own room now.”

She said and Gabriel froze.

“Why? Did something happen?”

He finally asked and she shook her head.

“No. Nothing really. But I no longer have nightmares. The door of my room is fixed and I’m not sick anymore. I don’t think I have any reason to still stay.”

She twisted her fingers in her shirt as she looked down, clearly nervous. And anxious, about how he would react to what she said.

“I wanted to tell you in person before I left.”

She added,

There was silence and it seemed to span for hours as Gabriel thought of the righ thing to say. He liked her sleeping in his bed. He liked that the heat of his body could provide warmth and he liked that he could provide her comfort when he was distressed in het sleep.

He walked up to her, till he was standing right in front of her.

With one finger, he raised her chin up.

“Tell me. Tell me that you don’t want to sleep in my room anymore.”

Lori’s knees almost gave in at the sound of his voice. He was staring at her, the full intensity of his blue eyes on her, his finger still under her chin, forcing

her to stare at him.

Forcing her to think about those thoughts that she had pushed so far away from her mind.

Those bad bad thoughts that sometimes kept her awake at night when they were in bed together.

“I… I’

She was unable to say it. Or even utter a proper sentence. Because it would be a le.

A blatant lie.

She didn’t want to leave. Not him, not his bed. Not his room.

Gabriel could see the answer written on her face, but he decided he’d wait for the words to come out of her mouth.

So he decided to taunt her a little.

With one hand around her waist he pulled her close to him, the movement jerking Lori right towards him, their faces merely inches away from each other.

“Do you want to leave?”

He asked again, his voice husky, low. Lori heard the words, but her eyes were on his lips.

“No.”

She finally breathed out.

And that was all he needed to hear.

Their lips collided.
