Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 137

Astrid POV

We walked to the parking area where Kael led me to his car. Toren and Aiden followed us along with Nate.

“Nate,” I said. “You aren’t suspended. Why are you missing your classes?” I asked as Kael opened the passenger door for me.

“I’ll go back,” he replied, looking at the brothers. He licked his lips and then added, “Look, you better keep her safe. If I see she is harmed in fucking way, I’m going to come after you.”

Kael and Toren jerked their heads back, and I seriously felt like laughing, but warmth spread in my chest and I hugged him. It was actually ridiculous seeing my 5’9” brother trying to intimidate the 6’3“, three mountains of muscles behind me.

But Kael put his hands up and said, “We will take care of her. Don’t worry.”

Nate nodded. He leaned over and whispered, “Do you have pepper spray?”

I giggled and nodded. Feeling reassured, he rushed back to his next class.

We sped to Kael’s home with me sitting in the passenger seat and Aiden and Toren sitting behind. The silence was so overbearing that I finally said, “I’m sorry.”

Kael brought his hand to mine on my thigh and clutched it. “Sorry for what?”

“For putting you all in so much trouble. It was something I could’ve avoided. Thanks, Aiden, for saving my day.”

Toren and Aiden chuckled as Kael went silent. He didn’t remove his hand from the wheel as we drove in silence. I felt even more uncomfortable. When he parked his car in the driveway of his house, he opened the door for me. He held the door, trapping me in between the car and him. He brought his hand to a strand of my hair and curled it around his finger.

Leaning over to me, he inhaled my scent and said, “I’m not sorry for what happened.” My eyes met with intense ones. “If you hadn’t gone to Tracy’s, we wouldn’t have had this time together.”

My breath lodged in my throat as the world around me faded. As he leaned in, his warm breath on my earlobe ignited a fire in my lower belly. “I hope you’ll teach me math. I promise I’ll be a good student.”

Someone coughed from behind, and I jerked my head back, blushing like a tomato. Kael just caught my hand and walked in the house.

Toren and Aiden walked behind us with ear–splitting grins. What was going on? Not that I was a stupid to not understand it, but it felt like they all knew about it from beforehand.

I sat in the main hall where I placed my bag, looking awkwardly at the house and stealing glances at the boys.

Now what do we do?

Aiden walked towards the kitchen while Toren disappeared at the back of the house, leaving Kael and me alone.

“Why don’t you come up?” he said, jerking his chin. “To my room.”

Another blush crept in my cheeks. “I’ll teach you here.”

He raised his eyebrow and cocked his head. “I told you I’ll be a good student. Don’t you trust me?”
