Chapter 498

"Yes," I whispered softly. My wolf's ears perked at my admission. This was the first time I was admitting out loud that I was in love with Gavin Landry. "I love him."

Irene's eyes grew wide, not expecting that I would spill my secret so easily.

"No shit?" She asked, her eyes even wider as she took in my serious expression. "You're in love with my father..."

"I know it's weird," I went on to say, not wanting her to get the wrong idea. "But it's clear that he doesn't feel the same way about me, so I don't think you have to worry about anything."

"It would be weird to have a stepmom be the same age as me," Irene said, capturing her lower lip between her teeth. "It would be weird for him to date someone the same age as his daughter. Society wouldn't accept it."

I nodded, a knot forming in the pit of my belly.

"That's why I'm never going to pursue it," I assure her. "Gavin and I might have some fun... but that's all it'll ever be."

She sucked in a sharp breath, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

"You've slept with him?" She asked.

My eyes grew wide.

"What makes you say that?" I asked, trying to mask my horror.

"You said you two like to have fun," she reminded me. "Plus, it's all over your face."

I covered my face with my hands after setting the wine glass down on the coffee table. A groan escaping my lips. She set her own glass down as well and studied me for a long while, neither of saying anything.
