Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 356

He paused and turned to look at me, his hand still wrapped around my wrist. Not enough to hurt, but enough to make me realize he had no intentions of letting me go anytime soon.

“Watch duty,” he murmured. “You are coming with me.”

“I thought I was on Levi’s team,” I said, my tone coming out breathy and unfamiliar. I hated the effect he had on me; having him with me on this watch duty was probably the worst idea ever.

Especially alone…

“That’s never been the plan.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat as I stared up at him. I wasn’t sure what to say at that moment, so I remained silent as he continued to pull me towards the forest opening.

Soon, we were engulfed by the woods; it was much darker than it had been a moment ago, and truth be told, I wasn’t entirely sure where we were going. But soon, he stopped walking, and his shoulders seemed to relax some.

He finally released my wrist, and I pulled back slightly so I could look up at him. He wasn’t looking at me; instead, he was leaning against a tree with his hands buried in his pockets and his right foot resting on the trunk of the tree.

Anger flared inside of me for both his recklessness and for standing me up.

“Are you going to pretend like you didn’t just drag me away like some kind of caveman?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “What the hell was that about? What if they get the wrong idea!”

He stared at me, his eyes darkening.

“I’m only here to monitor you during your watch duty. You should probably get to work,” he murmured, looking away from me, his face shining with disinterest.

His words were like a stab in the chest.

I knew arguing with him would be pointless, so I decided to get to work on my watch duties. I had seen gammas do this before; they set themselves up high so they can get a good look at their surroundings.

The same tree Gavin was leaning against, I decided to climb to the top until I found a thick enough branch.

I remained perched on the branch, keeping my eyes out on my surroundings area, wondering where everyone else was stationed. I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen here tonight, but I was determined to make sure I nailed this job.

We remained silent for several hours, the silence stretching out and consuming us. I stared down at him continuously throughout the night, and he remained quietly against the tree.
