Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 126

Chapter 0126

1 flushed from his words; I didn’t take him for someone who would care about such a thing, especially not when it came to me..

“You shouldn’t be too hard on him. He’s your nephew…”

“Which makes it worse,” Gavin muttered. “He’s family and my family never raise their hand to women. It can’t go without punishment.”

I knew there was no changing his mind on this; I bit the inside of my cheek and stared down at my hands.

“He asked me to be his girlfriend,” I whispered, making Gavin tense from beside me. “And I said no. He was angry with me… he said some pretty cruel things.

“Why did you decline his offer?”

He didn’t sound accusatory, more just curious like he was trying to keep the conversation going. My heart swelled a little more thinking that maybe he did care for me… at least a little bit.

“I didn’t feel the same way about him,” I admitted. “I didn’t want to hurt him… but I didn’t like him in the same way that he liked me.”

Gavin nodded, his expression softening.

“And he got angry,” he said softly; it wasn’t a question, but I nodded anyway.

“Yes,” I confirmed. “He got angry.”

Gavin wrapped an arm around me and pulled me into his side, wrapping me with his warmth and comfort. I felt my body relaxing almost immediately and my heart eased.

“I thought we decided that the other night was a mistake, and we were going to pretend it never happened,” I blurted before I could stop myself.

“You decided that.”

I raised my brows and looked up at him.

“And that’s not what you wanted?” I asked him.

“I wasn’t really thinking about it,” he admitted.

“And now?”

He was quiet for a moment, at first, I didn’t think he was going to answer my question, but then he let out a shuddering breath.

“And now, I think we should be together.”

My heart stilled in my chest and my jaw all but dropped.

“I’m sorry… what?”

He rolled his eyes, but I could see the playfulness on his face.

“Focus,” he murmured, bobbing my forehead gently with his knuckle.

“It’s been a while since I did this whole dating thing and I’m a little rusty,” he admitted. “But now that I’ve had a taste of you… I don’t think I can just pretend it didn’t happen.” His tone grew sultry at the end and a shiver crept up my spine as my cheeks flared with heat.

I bit my lip as I peeked up at him.

I was definitely going to regret this at some point, but I couldn’t help myself. I nodded, my eyes locked onto his.

“Okay,” I said softly. “Let’s be together.

He grinned but then his face grew serious.

“Of course, we can’t tell anyone about this for right now. go public. We need to keep this a secret. The media can’t find out. Are you okay with that?”

My cheek flushed again, and I felt a pain in my chest from his words. He saved me from being Ethan’s dirty little secret… but now he was making me his.

Yeah,” I ultimately said. “I’m okay with that.”
