Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Gavin's POV

"I don't fall in love," I growled, making Taylor freeze, his smile faltering for only a moment. "Bad things happen when I fall in love."

Taylor frowned; he was the only one in the world who knew my troubled past. I won't disclose what happened to anyone, but over time, Taylor became my best friend, and I felt comfortable enough with him to share what had happened. He never asks me about it or makes me relive the trauma, which I had always been grateful for. This was the first time it's been brought up since I told him about it.

"Neither of those deaths was your fault, Gavin," Taylor said, his brows furrowing. "You didn't get them killed."

I swallowed, my Adam's apple moving and I worked hard to avoid his eye contact. This was a level of vulnerability I wasn't willing to share, not even with my best friend.

"Look, all I'm saying is, Judy is tough. She can handle whatever shit you throw at her and then throw back her own shit just as hard, if not harder. Have you ever considered that maybe this was more than just set to the both of you?"

"No," I said without hesitation. "I never considered that nor will I."

"What if she's considered it?" Taylor asked, drawing my attention to his face. The serious expression he was sporting showed no signs that he was kidding. "How do you know she doesn't have real feelings for you?"

"She knows what this is," I told him. "She was using me to get back at her ex and get him off her back... I was using her to get my family off and Daisy off mine."

Granted, I hadn't heard much from my mother since I started this "relationship" with Judy, but if I had, I'd simply tell her that I had someone to warm my bed and that I didn't need Daisy in my life to do that.
