Chapter Thirty-Seven: Vanilla and Bourbon

Tillie

Pacing the floor of the living room, I glared at the window that overlooked the water where Jason, Ryan, and Travis stood talking. Like they hadn’t just shown up at my stepdad’s house and messed up my time alone and scared Gideon away.

I knew I should feel guilty for talking with him, but I couldn’t. Gideon needed me and I had the feeling that I needed him too. That even though the others didn’t know him yet, I had a feeling that they would feel the same pull that I was feeling if they just met him. It just felt right when he touched me. I got those same butterfly like feelings in the pit of my stomach and my heart beat faster.

I just wished that I could make them see that. Crossing my arms, I looked out the window. Watching my mates as they looked out at the water. Travis was still furious and I could see that anger beating against the back of my mind like a steady drum. It was feeding into my own anger and I knew that I needed to figure out how to block that feeling or I was going to end up saying or doing something that I didn’t want to do.

That wasn’t who I was, but damn it when he had glared down at me. His hard chest pressed against me, his eyes all dark. It did something to my insides that I didn’t know it I liked yet. It was like something inside of me wanted to do what he wanted, even as I had fought against the feeling.

I wasn’t going to give into that feeling. I couldn’t, I couldn’t back down from him about this. The things I felt for Gideon were like what I felt for Travis. What I felt for Ryan and Jason. I could no more turn my back on them than I could on him.

and I could see his lips moving. They were pulled back into a snarl and it looked like he was in pain. What had Jason said to make him look at him like that? Like he had betrayed him. Anger flashed through me,

footsteps were heavy on the old wood. Jason and Ryan stood beside the lake talking as Travis opened

the big window to look over at him. He closed the door, dropping his black duffle bag off to the side. It was the same bag that he had used the night before last. The one that he had
