Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

I looked up at him, trying to analyze his face.

"Why the sudden surprises?" I asked him. "Why now?"

He studied me for a moment.

"I realized what I almost lost." I blinked at him as he reached his hand out to touch mine, his fingers brushing across mine. "I'm not going to make that mistake again. I promise."

Ignoring the flutter in my heart, I fixed my attention on my food. We ate mostly silently; he kept stealing glances at me, and I kept suppressing my smile. I was still upset with him for his behavior at the Redcliff pack, and a few sweet words along with dinner weren't going to change that right now. But I did appreciate the sentiment.

When we finished, the waiter returned and brought us dessert, my favorite chocolate mousse. I looked up at Gavin, who was grinning at me as he grabbed

his spoon.

"My favorite dessert, too?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes. "You really do pay attention."

He shrugged.

"Actually, it's my favorite too," he admitted. "This was just a lucky shot."

We ate, and by the time we finished, the waiter returned to collect our things. Everything was already paid for, so there was no bill at the end of the meal. Gavin stood and took hold of my hand, pulling me to my feet.

"Come with me," he said softly, tugging me along with him. I followed him without hesitation; honestly, I'd probably follow him to the end of the earth. My wolf was practically purring in contentment, and it made me smile knowing that she was happy in our current situation.

We got into the back of Erik's car and we drove for a bit; I had no idea where we were going, but I was excited to see what the next surprise was. I mentioned when we reached the academy that I had graduated a few weeks ago. I looked at Gavin, who was only grinning; he looked relaxed, and my heart fluttered at the sight of him.
