Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Judy's POV

I sat motionless as I stared at Gavin and Rachel in the archway of the parlor. Matt also tensed from beside me, though his eyes were fixed on his books in front of him, and not on the pair of them. My eyes never left Gavin's, and his eyes seemed to be glued to mine as well, though I couldn't decipher the emotion lingering in them.

Without taking his eyes off me, Gavin asked, "Why were you looking for me?"

Rachel held herself closer to him, clinging to his arm like it was her lifeline.

"I wanted to ask your opinion on a few outfit choices for the charity banquet on Sunday," practically purred. "I want to dress to impress after all. It's not often you get asked to be the date of Gavin Landry to an important event like that."

My heart clenched in my chest as I stared at him. His face was indifferent, and his body was tense as he listened to what she said.

As if just noticing me in the room, Rachel's eyes flickered to mine, and she smiled.

"Oh, hi Judy. I didn't see you there," she said. "You seem hard at work. Don't let us disturb you."

Rachel tugged on Gavin's arm; he stood firm for a moment, his eyes still on me, and I wasn't sure why he was staring at me like that. But then, almost reluctantly, Gavin turned and left with her.
