The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 40

CHAPTER 40

I invite Gavin in for a movie since it’s still early enough, and he happily accepts the offer. I bring up the streaming channel for him and have him find something while I go and make us some popcorn. Just as I walk into the kitchen I shriek and spin around.

“Get a fucking room you two!” I’m not really pissed, but I try to sound like I am as I hold my laughter back, “Others live here, you know!”

“You were out on a date,” Cici giggles, “What are you doing back so soon?”

peek over my shoulder and they both have their clothes back on for the most part, “What do you mean? I’ve been gone for three hours, and now we are going to chill and watch a movie, is that okay?”

The door to the kitchen swings open and Gavin rushes through, looking around the room for something, “I heard you scream, Quinn! What happened?”

I chuckle and point toward my Beta and his mate who are now presentable and no longer half naked, making out in the middle of the kitchen. He takes one look at Cici’s messy hair and rosy cheeks, and smirks.

“Go get ’em tiger!” He winks at both of them and earns himself a slap to his chest from me.

“Stop encouraging them! They have a room for that kind of stuff.” I chuckle and move to go and get the popcorn started but he grabs me around the waist and pulls me against his chest.

“How fun is it if there is no risk of getting caught?” He leans in and nips at my neck.

I gasp, “Gavin! There are others in the room!” Cici chuckles and then rolls her eyes, “Come on babe,” she addresses her mate, “Let’s go break in the Alpha’s big bed.” My best friend is evil!

Spencer chokes out a laugh but allows her to pull him behind her, while Gavin is doing all that he can to cover his own laughter.

“I better not find any bodily fluids on my bed, but my own, Cici Stone!” I call after her, but then realize what I just admitted to and end up turning bright red.

Gavin snickers, and hugs me closer, “No need to be embarrassed, Alpha. We all do it.” He whispers into my ear, making my skin break out in goosebumps.

“I didn’t mean… I just meant…”. I can’t seem to finish any of my sentences.

“You didn’t mean to admit that you take care of yourself intimately?” Gavin grins, “Maybe one day you won’t have to anymore.” He takes my lips and kisses me with a desire that I’ve never seen in him before. He also pulls away before it gets out of hand, and I’m thankful for that, because I’m not sure that I would have been strong enough to be the one to pull away, “Only if and when you are ready, Quinn, no worries.” He kisses the tip of my nose and then releases me, “Now, where is the popcorn?”

I’m really happy that Gavin didn’t find some sappy chick flick to watch. I don’t mind them, but it’s not what I want to watch on a first date. Instead, he picked out a newly released comedy that I was planning on watching myself when I got the chance.

T hear my phone vibrate on the table in front of me, and when I check to see who it is, my heart stops. It’s Declan. How much do you want to bet that bitch went back and rubbed it into his face that she saw me and Gavin kiss? I ignore it without even opening the message up and then I put my phone on silent. I don’t need to explain myself to him or to anybody. I’m moving on and I’m sorry if it upsets him because it’s his cousin, but it’s my choice, not his.

“You can answer that if you need to.” Gavin says as his eyes are glued to the television.

| smile, “No, it’s nothing that can’t wait.” I snuggle closer to him, and he lifts his arm for me to lean into his side. We spend the rest of the movie laughing, relaxing, and just enjoying each other’s company.

It’s late by the time the movie gets over, “There is a spare room on the second floor if you want to crash.” I say nonchalantly.

“Thanks, but I better head home. I’ve got an early start tomorrow and I’m still trying to prove to my father that I’m ready to take over.” He rolls his eyes.

“Okay, well please drive safely.”

He pulls me to him and looks down into my eyes, smiling, “Thank you for caring enough. It’s been a while since someone has shown they
