Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 385 A Place Beside You

The morning after Christmas, Tessa was already back to work–coding a new firewall for Wings of Light. Landon’s call came in just as she was finalizing the code. She put him on speaker and continued typing.

“Morning.”

“I’m outside your house.”

Tessa froze, fingers pausing above the keys. She finished sealing the firewall before picking up her phone and walking to the floor–to–ceiling window. Sure enough, a black Bentley was parked beneath the cedar tree, dusted with a thin layer of frost, gleaming coldly in the morning light.

“Mr. Landon, what are you doing?” she asked with a light laugh into the receiver.

“Are you coming out, or should I come in?” His voice was gentle, but there was no mistaking the quiet force behind it.

Not much of a choice there.

Tessa ended the call, changed into a camel–colored coat, and headed downstairs.

As she stepped out the front door, she saw Landon standing there. He was dressed casually today–white sweater, double–faced black wool coat–but still looked every bit the leading man, like he’d just stepped out of a film.

The moment she saw him, Tessa realized how much she’d missed him in just two days.

Landon strode toward her, pine–scented pheromones curling around the chill in the air. The next second, she was swept into his coat, wrapped in his warmth.

“I missed you,” he said plainly, planting a kiss on her forehead. “What’s the plan for today?”
